    Crabby Oyster entrance.
    Beth M.

    Excellent food and service! I had the steamed clams at lunch and it was not too much but rather just the right amount of food. It came with delicious sourdough bread that was perfect for soaking up all the delicious butter/wine sauce that the clams were steamed in. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great tasting seafood!

    Oyster Poboy and onion rings
    Sean A.

    amazing no. but had a great experience. In Seaside with my 3 year old and took her out for dinner. The staff from greeter and sever were friendly with my daughter. As for food the oyster poboy could have had toastier bread but the oysters were pleasant and pro-tip upgrade $2 to beer batter onion rings. Kids fish and chips $10 was two pieces of fish of good size. The best part was the clam chowder. Have I had better yes. But was flavorful and the way I like creamy but not that overly flowered thickened type. I could taste the onion and celery mild hints. And my kid devoured it (and some call me picky) Overall a nice evening out

    Kitchen Sink for 2!

    The Kitchen Sink for 2 hit the spot! We went saucy and do not regret it. What a variety and fun dining experience!

    Crab cakes
    Darcy M.

    Wow, is all I can say! The food was delicious. We had crab cakes and a combination boil that did not disappoint. Just spicy enough to be perfect! The service was top notch. Will definitely eat here again!

    Fried Oysters and Clam Chowder
    Pearl W.

    My son saw this in the Seaside magazine as soon as we got to our hotel. It was super close, less than 5 minutes. We got fried oysters, clam chowder, fettuccine Alfredo, and the kitchen sink boil. The clam chowder was good with a good amount of meat. My son got the fettuccine; it was so creamy. Last my husband and I shared the kitchen sink. I'm just bummed there wasn't more crab, but it was delicious.

    Oysters!
    Anastasia C.

    Came in right at opening for a little lunch. Had clam chowder and oysters and both were really good! Clam chowder had large chunks of clams and potatoes. Oysters tasted fresh and really scratched my oyster craving! Server was very nice and attentive.

    Kitchen Sink for 2 artichoke & crab dip
    Elizabeth G.

    Our 1st time in! Such a cute restaurant. Our server was awesome and the food was DELICIOUS! We tried the Crab & artichoke dip with bread, along with the Kitchen sink for 2. Everything came out hot and fresh. Can't wait to go back!

    French fries were dry and chewy. Hamburger was underwhelming and also dry. In the positive side, nice atmosphere and music

    The food was sub par, as was the service. My pan fried oysters were fair, but the rest of our meal was pretty poor

The woman behind the bar, may have been the owner, was so kind, caring and attentive. She made conversation with me over my license from Colorado, asked my name and remembered it as I was leaving saying "have a nice day, Nate" Soooo sweet and kind. A true gem of a human. She even had regulars that she said "I told you when we were on that hike that I owe you a drink so this ones on me" freaking precious. Okay now that I'm done praising the owner/bartender. The food was exquisite too. I got a basic cheeseburger with pepper jack cheese, tomato, onion and lettuce. It was cooked well and was enjoyed heavily and quickly haha. The cook even came by to check that I liked it as well. Very warm place with great food. Much enjoyed. The place was clean and kept up well. This was one of the first dive bars I had been to where they had slots and that was a bit of a twist. I didn't roll the dice on them as the only thing I gamble on is once a year and that the horses at the Kentucky derby. Keeps my gambling in line and doesn't upset the in-laws too much. If I visit Seaside OR again, I will absolutely find myself back here for another delicious burger and friendly interaction.

Outdoor has large tables with fireplaces which would be great for large groups. We started with the fast fried Calamari, which was a good amount with both rings and tentacles. Wife had the Cioppino while I had the Seafood Pasta. The Cioppino was a bit pricey; however, was loaded with seafood and included some king crab which we had not seen at other places we have had the dish. The Seafood Pasta was rich and also loaded with seafood. Would certainly recommend if searching for seafood. Note: when we came at 6pm on a Monday we were told there was a 20min wait. We walked around the boardwalk and returned in 15 and the table was ready in less than 5min.

The Cod came out perfectly crisp with their Honey Orange beer batter and paired perfectly with the same beer. NOTE: The Regular fries are much much better than the sweet potato fries. I hate to say they were some of the less impressive ones I've ever had. The service was excellent amidst the outdoor seating area with lovely heaters to keep us warm on a chillier day, though. No complaints but steer clear of the sweet potato fries if you prefer a crisp/crunchy fry.

Turns out they keep it raised until about 4 o'clock while they brew beer behind the theater, then the screen comes down later for basketball, games, and movies. Honestly, that just made me appreciate the place even more. I walk all over Seaside trying different spots, little hidden places, tourist places, all of it, and somehow this still ends up being my favorite lunch spot in town. The food never disappoints. Ever. The prices are shockingly good for what you get, and they somehow manage to get food out fast without sacrificing quality. What I love most is the space. Even when town is packed, you are not jammed in elbow to elbow with people. Families, kids, locals, everybody just looks comfortable there. Big open historic theater, great food, quick service, sports on the screen later in the day, and good atmosphere without the chaos. Screen up or screen down, this place is one of my favorites.

The clam chowder is a must, especially in the famous bread bowl. We also ordered a Bloody Mary, shrimp and grits, plus the steamed clams! Delicious! We were heading down from Astoria and it was a windy/cloudy day in the PNW. This Seaside location has great views of the beach, so we grabbed a front table and enjoyed people-watching while taking in the waves. There's almost always a line, but this location was worth the wait! Mo's still hits. It's a classic Oregon tradition, and I'll keep coming back.

Loved the ambience of the place. No chairs, just benches. The patio had traditional picnic table style where you have to climb in. The tables inside were separate from the benches. Great beach/seaside view from our table. Big wall of windows. Sis ordered cod fish n chips, coleslaw w/ shrimp as the side. She liked both. Mom and I both got the blackened shrimp skewers (×15) with fries, w/ clam chowder as our sides. I've never had clam chowder before. OMG... have I been missing out!? Or maybe it's just good here. I was surprised to find diced potatoes in my cup. And the cream broth had just a hint of fishiness. A cup was the prefect amount. Mom and I both liked the blackened shrimp as well. Loved the seasoning on it (possibly Old Bay??). The cute fish plate had cocktail sauce for dipping. Had a strong horseradish flavor. And the fries had a good crunch to soft potato ratio, but were greasy. Our server was friendly and helpful with menu questions. I wish we knew about this area before and had planned to stay more than an afternoon. I would return to try other menu options.... like the po-boy!

Big, busy restaurant with comfortable, large table by the window. Service was super fast with a very friendly blonde lady server with glasses. Wish I got her name!

Adults - hubby had halibut and fries, and it came with clam chowder, plus a good beer on tapHe was happy. Mine - club sandwich was LARGE and in charge.. on toasted wheat (you could also have sourdough) w/ turkey, ham, bacon, and 2 types of cheeses. The tomato and lettuce were crisp and fresh. Fries not my fave.. it's those ones you see very commonly in restaurants. Probably some big bulk chain company. Super greasy and crispy, not much potato.

Although there were plenty of tables available and were not very crowded. the service was pretty slow. I think they must've been shortstaffed as it seemed like there was only one waitress on duty in our section until later on. Our waitress was extremely nice and polite though. The food was really good. My wife had the fish and chips with clam chowder. The fish was lightly battered and meaty! She said it was some of the best clam chowder she's ever had. Full of big clam chunks! She was very impressed. As for me I had the Dooger bacon burger, and it was very good and very filling. Loved it. Would definitely go back again.
