I went with the chowder, which was satisfying; as was the Marionberry pie!
Coke was $4, my only regret.

Not open on hours/days listed on website. Don't know what's going on here. Has good food, if they are still in business.

The Halibut Fish and Chips were really good and the portion size adequate for the price.
the Marion pie alamode was good as well.
the clam chowder was a disappointment. lots of potatoes, bacon and clams but no clam flavor.
perfect thickness with too much of a milk flavor.

We have been to Big Wave many times, and have always gotten good food and lovely service. Right along Highway 101 at Manzanita, with easy access to parking and wheelchair access into the building. They offer delicious seafood such as several kinds of fish, steamer clams, as well as steaks, burgers and chowder.
