About Big Wave Cafe

The Big Wave Cafe is a cozy restaurant that offers a variety of dishes in a relaxed atmosphere. It is known for its fresh and delicious seafood, including crab cakes, clam chowder, and grilled halibut. Customers praise the clam chowder bread bowl for its large size, creamy richness, and the bread's crunchy exterior and soft interior, which is some of the best sourdough around. The fish and chips are considered the best on the coast, and the fresh grilled Alaskan halibut with cilantro butter is highly recommended. The restaurant also serves popular dishes like the Tsunami burger, Reuben sandwich, and chicken Caesar salad. Desserts such as the peanut butter whipped cream pie, made from scratch by the chef’s mom, are a hit.

We came here because my wife really wanted crab louie. Their reviews were good so we drove down from Cannon Beach. It was absolutely worth it. Chowder was good, and the service as well. I had steamer clams; my wife the aforementioned Crab Louie. According to her, it was a perfectly done execution. Everything tasted fresh. It was clear they made sure that nothing was an afterthought. Highly recommend
Generous halibut sandwich, and tasty clam chowder!
Great Burger! 🤙

On a long drive, a good cup of coffee w/ a loaded Big Wave burger and fries really Hits the Spot!

Recommended!
