21 Best American Restaurants near Cannon Beach

“We absolutely LOVE your restaurant. The friendly service, warm atmosphere and delicious food make for an amazing experience. And super kid friendly!“

“Good Food! Good Peeps! Had the Pastrami Reuben and Fish & Chips. Elliot was funny and did us right. Definitely recommend, we'll be back!“

“The Bistro is more than a fabulous restaurant from the wine selection to the main dish, desserts, and after dinner liqueur. The service we received from Trihn was amazing from beginning to end. The live acoustic Guitar performance by Wes who had played there for years was relaxing and perfect for the relaxing evening my friend Lisa and I needed the other night. But Jack the owner and creator of this wonderful Bistro ended our evening sharing with us both his life story and path that got him to where he is today, including sharing samples of amazing herbal after dinner liqueurs I have never heard of. We had the best time ever. Cannon beach is one of our favorite getaway destinations and the Bistro a restaurant that is in its own class of excellence that I hope everyone who goes to Cannon beach to getaway has the opportunity to experience. We feel blessed to have had the incredible evening we had.“

“My family and I are locals and frequent your restaurant often. We truly enjoy your establishment and want to start by saying we recognize how difficult it is to find and retain good employees these days. We’ve seen many staff members come and go over the years, and we genuinely appreciate the efforts of your current manager (I’m not sure of her name) — she seems to be doing a great job trying to turn things around since COVID. We also remember Becca fondly, as she was wonderful, and there are currently a few employees who consistently provide excellent service.

That said, I wanted to share some ongoing concerns regarding one particular server, Jacob D. This feedback isn’t meant to be unkind, but rather to highlight areas where additional training or support may be needed.

Over multiple visits, we’ve experienced repeated issues such as:
• Orders being incorrect (regular fries served instead of Cajun, Cajun tots replaced with fries, tomato on a burger when requested without).
• Condiments being incorrect (ketchup requested, ranch delivered).
• A split burger order being confused with a single burger order.
• Very long wait times before being greeted or offered water (around 25 minutes during a slow evening).
• Empty water glasses not being refilled, even when clearly visible.
• Appetizers and food taking extended periods despite the restaurant being nearly empty.
• A general lack of awareness of guest needs, such as checking in, offering refills, or asking if we’re ready to order.

We understand that some issues can originate in the kitchen, and we also notice a difference in consistency between weekday and weekend service. However, many of these concerns seem to stem from attentiveness and situational awareness rather than attitude — Jacob is not rude, but appears to struggle with basic customer service flow.

We genuinely like your restaurant and want to continue coming back. Our hope in sharing this is that it may help improve consistency and overall guest experience. With some additional training, or perhaps placing him in a support role better suited to his strengths, we believe service could greatly improve.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for continuing to serve our community.“

“Charming little family friendly bowling alley. Decent shoestring fries with a simple fry sauce that hit the spot. Fresh veggies. smoky, chewy bacon with a bit of black pepper-very tasty. Generous patty cooked well with a nice crisp exterior over juicy meat.“

“Great Bloody Mary, friendly service and awesome beach vibe“

“This place is usually pretty good. It’s just inconsistent. We went yesterday and the guy working there said they don’t do the jumbo size anymore and they don’t have Bavarian cream. I’ll still probably go back next time though so I’ll see what’s changed.“

“Un día familiar el servicio buenísimo el café ☕️ delicioso 🤤 y todo de lujo nomás así“
