24 Best American Restaurants near Rockaway Beach

“We had the catch of the day, which was pan seared halibut with roasted vegetables and chantarelle mushrooms in a creamy Sherry sauce. It was delicious. The service was great also. Very pleased we ate here.“

“After countless attempts, false hope, and near-mythical sightings, we finally witnessed the impossible: PRONTO PUP WAS OPEN. The clouds parted. Angels sang. Seagulls froze mid-scream. The Pacific Ocean itself seemed to nod in approval.
Standing guard out front was a giant corn dog you can RIDE LIKE A HORSE, and because we are clearly well-adjusted adults, my husband and I mounted it immediately and rode it like feral children while cars drove past honking. Were they cheering? Who knows. But if you want the full Pronto Pup experience, dignity must be abandoned at the curb.
We then declared, that we would feast!!
The Original Pup reminded us why classics survive generations.
The Pepper Jack cheesy pup was melty, glorious, and dangerously addictive.
The Louisiana spicy sausage pup brought the heat and chose violence in the best way.
The Zucchini pup had absolutely NO business being that good and yet here we are.
And then came the Pickle Pup.
A jaw-dislocating, life-altering, GIANT PICKLE wrapped in glory. I literally could not get my mouth around it, and I have a big mouth. This pickle changed me.
As if that wasn’t enough, we also had a cup of chili, which somehow made everything better and felt like the warm, comforting hug we didn’t know we needed.
The only pup we didn’t try was the jalapeño pup, not because of fear, but because legends require sequels. This was a calculated decision. A promise.
The staff were friendly, fast, and clearly operating at elite corn-dog levels. Service was phenomenal, prices were solid, and in a shocking Oregon coast plot twist: the bathrooms were clean. Not “fine.” Not “acceptable.” Spotless. Heroic.
Come for the pups. Stay for the rideable corn dog, the phenomenal service, the spotless bathrooms, and the validation that yes, Pronto Pup is real and yes, you should absolutely act unhinged while you’re there.
We will return.
Jalapeño pup, your time is coming.“

“What a pleasant surprise! My family and I walked into this shop and were immediately greeted by Corrine, who was incredibly warm and patient, even with our large group of kids and all our questions. Her superior customer service alone is reason enough to return, but the treats blew us away. The dark chocolate and pistachio fudge were fresh and delicious, ice cream delightful and creamy, but the true standout was the white sea foam. It was hands down the best I've ever had—not too hard, not too soft, and with perfect white chocolate. It was so amazing, it might be the best thing I've eaten all year. I would love to know if you offer shipping; this treat is worth it. Seriously, please let me know if possible. 😆 Also, I notice the ice cream prices were better priced than the other shop next door. We also loved the souvenirs. My teenager and I bought matching pullovers. Overall, it was just a great shop and I'm just a satisfied customer! P.S: Go Damian Lillard/WSU!! 😊“

“You love a local hole in the wall? Go here. The staff were wonderful. The fry was perfect. The clam chowder was creamy and light and delicious with fresh bread for the bowl. Dont let the appearance fool you. Absolutely worth your time.“

“Love this place! We go here every time we go to Rockaway Beach! ❤ Happy New Years!“

“waitress was on point with our food drinks were great atmosphere like down home thank you Heather (bartender/waitress ) for the great food and hospitality beautiful view of the lake to?????“

“My daughter and I visited Wanda’s on the last day of our annual girls trip to the beach. She is a repeat visitor, this was my first time. I was so pleased with everything. The service was phenomenal, the staff was busy and incredibly organized. Our breakfast was delivered quickly and was perfectly prepared. The servings were plentiful, (eating my leftovers as I type) and delicious. I think this will be a regular stop for our annual trip now!! (Bought a cinnamon roll to bring home for the hubby, he LOVED it)“

“Marco Polo is Awesome! people there were wonderful. if your driving thru Tillamook, this is the place to go!“

“The gentleman was working solo tonight on the floor. The bartender was helping where she could. It was great to see the positive attitude and team work when he clearly was getting his limits pushed. Good job!!!!!“

“Delicious food, friendly service, convenient, decent prices, outdoor seating.“

“I go as often as I can. Didn't ever eat fish. In my whole life... but now... well I go as often as I can. Yummy yummy yummy... to your tummy... I have yet to try anything else on the menu! Might be my loss!! Thank you guys for all you do!!!“

“GREAT FOOD AND SERVICE!!! The very nice lady running the place really busted her hump to make sure we were taken care of. We have been coming to this place for years when traveling through. Never ever not had amazing food and drinks. This is a definitely stop for a drink, food or gamble. I had fish and chips hand beaded at time of order home made coleslaw. AMAZING!“

“I am not a sweets for breakfast person, but not getting the french toast would be a massive mistake. Absolutely the best French toast of my life, no questions asked. What a lovely breakfast spot. I will travel back to Manzanita just to eat here.

Update: I’m sitting in Yolk and literally took a day trip here for the food. Still lives up! The brekkie smash burger is 10/10“

“It’s hard to mess up fried cheese curds, and the cheddar ranch is a 10/10 (it’s just ranch with little shreds of cheese in it). Nothing else I had was particularly good. The mac and cheese has a weird savory taste to it like they added chicken broth/something that doesn’t normally go in mac and cheese, and the burger is just a low-mid tier burger with good Tillamook cheese. The $10 “ice cream nachos” are fun and an affordable way to try several flavors if you can’t pick one! Expect to spend about $25 per person if you get both food and ice cream.“

“A little unassuming diner tucked away in Tillamook, but the food was really tasty and a good value. It's a small place, maybe 10 tables total with some counter seating, but everything we had was great. The server was quick and friendly and the food came out as ordered. I wish we had been hungry for pie because they looked amazing and are obviously homemade. I think the owner was talking to one person about waiting to get their berries. Good stuff.“

“we discovered The Roost by accident. It is the best! coffee and food. The people are amazing. I highly recommend you to try The Roost. We make a point every year to stop by“

“GREAT breakfast! I had the corned beef hash and my friend had the chicken fried steak breakfast burrito. Cranberry mimosas were the perfect top-off. Loved the outdoor patio. Will definitely return!“

“delicious food. excellent service. great cocktails. huge whiskey and bourbon selection. fair prices. ill be back as soon as I can“

“We've only gone here for breakfast, but we're gonna do lunch/dinner one day... soon™. This our favorite place for breakfast when we stay on the coast. Every item on the breakfast menu is amazing and the staff? They're friendly and want you to have a good time. Extra honey with your tea? You get it. Extra onions with your meal? You get it. It's a home meal away from home.“

“We love perching up on the second story porch corner for views of the beach and the scene below. It's the perfect place to take a break, lounge, and drink in the atmosphere. A glass of wine, a bowl of truffle popcorn, and a game of travel backgammon with a view? Yes please!“

“My fav spot. Dope deck. Dope tenders. Dope drinks. Video lottery. Everything is 💯“

“Wow. I did not expect this level of amazing food. Really really good. The house salad especially blew us away. Usually the house salad is the most basic boring one on the menu. This place makes one that they are proud of. Salmon cakes and mushroom gnocchi also great.
Took our food to go but enjoyed a drink at the bar with Megan while we waited. No wait at the door. (We went during the off season). Well worth a stop.“

“I went to the Salmonberry tonight with my family and friends for the first time since they reopened. I have to say I was BLOWN AWAY. The food was incredible. It was so fresh and delicious and quick. But what really got me was the service. The young man who was hosting was polite and accommodating. The staff were all friendly. I have to say having a really good meal with a very pleasant dinning experience on the nicest day of the summer was magical. This is the Salmonberry at its best!!!“

“Small cozy pub with great food.“
