13 Best American Restaurants in Astoria

“I decided to sightsee in Astoria, and found this little gem of a craft beer taproom in downtown Astoria. I grabbed one of their hard ciders and really glad I did. They do not have a food menu, but as you can see from my photos, there are food carts just outside Buoy Beer where you can order delish seafood like fish & chips and other seafood items, if you get hungry while you drink.

Their atmosphere is very chill and relaxing. The bartender was very friendly and I could have hung out there longer than I did, but I had a bus to catch. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, so on the rare occasions when the coast is sunny, there are outdoor tables where you can enjoy the rays.

For any Portlanders or non Astorians looking for a new place to hang out and chill and drink good beers and booze, I think you owe yourself to give this place a try!“

“🥰Excellent New England style clam chowder. My steak was cooked to perfection. We were celebrating our anniversary and they gave us dessert on the house. Pricing was moderate. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Excellent service, food and cleanliness! Garlic fries were fantastic!“

“Very roomy, with lots of space inside and outside to sit. A variety of table types- bar height, regular tables, booths, and tables with bench seating. Easy to find a space that works for you. Food was great- chowder is 10/10. Albacore fish and chips were delicious. We enjoyed the beer we chose, the root beer, and kombucha. Would absolutely return!“

“Great food and drinks and a great staff“

“Best burgers and fries in town!“

“was very pleased with the fantastic service. the host and 2 servers did a great job backing each other up and helping each other with hardly any verbal communication. The halibut fish and chips were prepared good and tasty. I can't believe we had never stopped in before.“

“Well there chowder is really good I stop there and see local diggers and fishermen selling to him. Good food fresh caught great staff I’m in. I’ll be back.“

“Huge shot out to Merry Time Bar. My wife and I have not been able to shoot pool since before COVID-19. This was how we met so it brought back a ton of wonderful memories. Plus the games were only 50 cents. Talk about a deal. We have recently started to play pinball, and this bar is a dream come true. As a new player it was amazing to get a few high scores, and we look forward to the comedy night—as she used to perform in our hometown as an opener for national talent—and, of course, the pinball competitions and special days. A big thank you to the owner. It was an absolute treat to play some of the top games ever made and they were all in good condition. As a small business owner, I understand how difficult it is to run a good company, and this one is top notch. If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and drop in for a wonderful night. I cannot recommend enough!!!“
