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?????“

“We had brunch at Wanda’s and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. I had the smoked salmon omelette that came with dilled cream cheese. The combination of flavours was amazing!! Our kids enjoyed their meals as well, which is no small feat! We also got the cinnamon rolls, all I can say is yum yum yum!! And the hot beverages were perfect! Next time we’re on the coast in the area, we will definitely be stopping by for brunch or late lunch again.“

“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!“

“If I could give them 6 stars I would. Best brunch I've had in decades - thank you Reddit folks!

We split two dishes and it gave us a bit of savory and sweet.

We got the scramble (first item on their brunch section)with grilled potatoes and homemade biscuit AND 3 slices of their crusted French toast.

The service was among the best we've had as well. They were super attentive without being intrusive and timed us well for when we needed more coffee and for when we were ready for the check. Our server had such a good mood and happiness about her it just made everything feel perfect.

The place is very busy but they're so efficient they move quickly without making us feel rushed, either.“

“Was absolutely amazing. Lived the self tour and cheese samples. Spent way to much in gift shop but was way worth it. The short rib burger and classic cheeseburger were amazing. Best buns and very cheesy lol. Would go again if I'm through the area.“

“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 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!“

“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.“

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

“Have been here many times. Had the Tomahawk pork chop with ambrosia fingerling potatoes, roasted vegetables, with blackberry mole. The pork chop was perfectly cooked, the veggies were delicious, and as always the service was excellent. Big portions and consistently great food here!“

“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.“
