Welcome to a tourist town with one major grocery store. I lived in Ocean Shores for over 2 years. I…read morejoined the membership rewards and never really received any perks. I spent roughly $300 a week on groceries conservatively speaking. The pricing of the products are higher in the Summer and tourist season. This sucks for the locals but it is common with all businesses in Ocean Shores. I recommend shopping at Costco for your staples before going on vacation in Ocean Shores. It's not uncommon to pay almost $10 for a bag of chips. Just a warning. The service is a hit or miss depending on the time of day and season. The staff can get tired of tourists and not be as friendly. The selection is limited due to the remote location of Ocean Shores. This means if you are looking for special ethnic foods and vegetables, you maybe out of luck. Bring these items from home. I am SE Asian and the selection was lacking as far as fresh herbs and greens go. I was missing many sauces over the years for stir fry like sesame seed oil, hunan, and chili oil. I drove to Olympia for Jasmine rice purchased 100lbs at a time. The deli is pricey but there is only one McDonalds in town and no other fast food options. Most the restauarants are $20 or more per entree. Hence the deli fried chicken and warn foods will look less expensive. The JoJos friend chicken is popular along with the potatoes wedges.

I was dying of thirst and needed a place to use the bathroom. The location appears to be a gift shop with an ice cream business on the side. Regardless, it is conveniently located at the waterfront. The shop did not have a ridiculously number of flavors. I would say it had enough. I decided to try the Mango sorbet on a waffle cone. The ice cream was delicious and I was pleasantly surprised by mango flavor. I think what I liked the most about it was that it wasn't super rich and that helped quench my thirst. I was dissapoined the establishment does not have public restrooms. Actually most the business in the area are the same way. After spending the day out on the boat fishing I was looking for a nice place to use the bathroom and rest for a little bit.

For myself this is the approach I took, as I eat ice cream rather slowly. Inside there are vibrant colors all around and even has a section of children books and DVD's for your kids to browse through as you wait in line for your turn to get ice cream, or a waffle cone; this idea in my mind is a very ingenious idea and I applaud them for this. Nice family friendly atmosphere, and a great place to grab some cold treats; walking along the pier watching the boats come in and leave, a sight so peaceful and tranquil you may just forget your ice cream is melting.

The selection isn't huge, but what they do have is fresh, high quality, and worth the stop. The first thing you'll notice is the incredible smell of vanilla from their freshly made waffle cones -- it drifts across Main Street and is almost impossible to resist. We sampled a few flavors before settling on the salted caramel and the cookies and cream, and both were excellent. The salted caramel was rich and buttery, while the cookies and cream was creamy with plenty of cookie pieces in every bite. Sometimes a smaller menu means they focus on doing a few things really well, and that definitely seems to be the case here. Fresh ice cream, warm waffle cones, and a friendly small-town atmosphere make Whale Of Cone a sweet stop while exploring Westport.

Such fun games!

At Bennett's they have both cod and halibut. Unfortunately for me they only batter their cod and if you want halibut you have to have panko crumbed. The person behind the counter where you order said they prep ahead and they couldn't put the batter on halibut. I also just wanted water as that's my favorite beverage. She told me I couldn't have a regular glass of water with ice. I had to buy it in a bottle with their name printed on the label. It felt like a way to wring yet more money out of their customers. I much prefer generosity to stinginess. It just put me off from the beginning. The cod was fine. But unlike most restaurants when you get fish & chips, there was no coleslaw. All that was on my plate was part of a limp lettuce leaf for a poor excuse of a garnish. We had 2 veggie wraps and a fish sandwich in our party as well. Everybody liked their food well enough. My daughter really liked her fish sandwich. I eat out a lot and Bennett's cutting corners and lack of generosity is unlike the vast majority of restaurants I've been to. I have no desire to return. My mother-in-law lives in Ocean Shores and had suggested the Thai place. Guess we'll go there next time.

I had a really disappointing experience at this ice cream shop. The atmosphere could have been great, but unfortunately the service completely ruined it. One of the workers, Amber, was extremely rude and dismissive the entire time. It felt like customers were more of an inconvenience than anything else. Simple questions were met with attitude, and there was zero effort to be friendly or helpful. What made things worse is that the owner, Mike, didn't seem to care at all. Instead of addressing the situation or checking in with customers, he came across as uninterested and focused only on making money. There was no sense of pride in the business or concern for customer experience. Overall, the ice cream itself wasn't enough to make up for how uncomfortable and unwelcome we felt. There are plenty of other places that actually value their customers--I'd recommend going somewhere else. read more

Then I noticed they had my favorite chocolate that melts in your mouth Ice cube. I was excited to get a few. It was 1.00 each for the tiny cubes which I didn't mind paying for them because they're my favorite. I would've given higher rating but I did notice the place was pretty dusty, and some of the candy seemed like it was sitting there for a while. They did have a good selection if old school candy though. What made the rating even lower was when I ate my favorite 1.00 chocolate ice cube. It looked old, and tasted old.
