25 Best American Restaurants near Rockaway Beach

“4 bucks for a great got dog on a stick. Pump your ketchup or mustard into a cup, grab a napkin and sit at one of the many picnic tables.
Not sure if it's the original location for a place called pronto pup or home of the first ever pronto pup, or the first place anyone ever dipped a sweet sweet hot dog in some sweet sweet corn batter.
Watch for the place with the giant corn dog on it.“

“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.“

“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!! 😊“

“Food was amazing and very fresh. The customer service was excellent and a good expeience overall. The fries here are some of the best I’ve had. Totally worth it to check out and get some great eats!“

“Anytime we are on vacation, we always search out the local gems for breakfast. We absolutely found it with this sweet bakery. They have the most perfect options for a quick dessert or breakfast. The breakfast sanddollars were incredible along with the blueberry muffin/biscuit. Their convenient location is a quick walk to the end on the block where the most perfect views of the beach await you. What better way to enjoy your breakfast/treat from a local bakery than watching the oceans waves! I only wish we had known about this amazing bakery on our first day! Can't wait to be back!“

“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)“

“Best fries in town! And affordable delicious food, definitely in our rotation 😍“

“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!!!!!“

“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!!!“

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

“Someone at Cannon Beach recommended this restaurant to us in Manzanita. The drive over was beautiful and even with the stop -- pulling in to a Vista location -- didn't take too long. If anything the view improved our appetites.

We were on our way to the soup place in Nehalem but decided to detour and check the wait time here. It was just about 15 minutes before they could see the six of us: three younger kids and three adults. So we felt we could manage. We spent the time comfortably in the courtyard bench area where we read books and enjoyed the blue skies.
The owner, Sarah, was super gracious and eventually invited us to check out the menus on the wall about a minute before our seats were prepped and we were seated.

We each ordered something different and for the kids we stayed with the basic scrambled eggs with cheese and chives. Turned out to be a delicious combination with the French toast. One of the kids liked his fried eggs over hard and fresh fruit combo so much we ordered it twice. Something about how the eggs were just perfectly scrambled.

What are the perfect scrambled eggs you ask? For me these were: the texture of my Sicilian scramble was silky and custardy, with soft folds rather than bounce or crumble. I pref scrambled eggs moist and glossy, not wet or runny, with creaminess. And the Sicilian scramble arrived hot and comforting. This place knows how to make them perfectly. Maybe the best eggs I've had on the coast. Seriously, you need to try them. My only regret is that no one in our party ordered the Eggs Benedict. Usually that's my go to at a place known for poached eggs; but I had seen the table next to me order the Sicilian scramble and it looked amazing.

For drinks, one of us ordered the Spanish coffee which she had been told would come flaming. The server did not understand what we thought we thought would happen (at other bars the bartenders take pride in demonstrating the skillful sugar burning -- so the expectation seemed reasonable to us). We were puzzled by the miscommunication. The cocktail itself was delicious topped with whipped cream.

I ordered the Bloody Mary which came with a nice array of garnishes, which of course makes the drink, including a half spear of kosher pickle, and she's wrapped with a cured salami.
One other cocktail was served and deemed also refreshing.

Oh we also enjoyed the Wolf moon bread and I ordered the biscuit with jam and butter. The only way to improve that would've been to increase the size of the biscuit Because it was amazing.

Looking forward to returning to try their other dishes. Whatever the wait, I can only tell you that the food is worth it.“

“Our breakfast was delicious! And the waitresses were very friendly! A lot of people there at 9:30 AM when we got there. There is a waiting bench outside. This was a Monday morning. They were very busy, which told us that they must be very popular. Five star review from us. Thank you!“

“A cozy tasting room offering Manzania winery wine flights and several local beer options. The first floor includes an outdoor patio which can be opened to bar and table seating during warm days. Dogs are welcome. They also offer some small boards of food to pair with the wines. Portions are small/bite size. Vie w on first floor is onto the street...good for people watching.“

“Such great food (best ribs I’ve ever had), atmosphere, and service!“

“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“

“Guess we had just missed the live music. Found this place on Google and what a great neighborhood bar! Letty, our bartender, was VERY friendly, engaging and poured a good drink. Made us feel appreciated! I'm a retired bar manager over 35 years and I know great service when I see and get it! Thank you Letty! You Rock!“

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

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

“Wonderful, kid friendly lunch spot in the middle of town. Outdoor patio seating for larger groups (or messy children). Got the Offshore Burger which was gigantic and messy and delicious with melty goat cheese and sweet potato fries. Kids both got Tillamook grilled cheeses and fruit which were big portions and enough for left overs. Strawberry lemonade is a refreshing must have. Side note: is dog friendly. 10/10 would recommend.“

“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!!!“

“Absolutely incredible. Our server Sarah went above and beyond to bring us our food before we even had the chance to find a table and sit down. We requested more ranch and she brought us 6 more?! Incredible. Give this woman a raise. We love you Sarah ❤“

“It was next to our hotel so we gave it a try, and we were not disappointed! I had the chicken and chips and they weren't strips or nuggets. These were breast halves in a killer batter and deep fried. The fries were seasoned and hot. She had a shrimp basket and said it was great as well. It was close to closing, but they made us a pot of coffee anyway. The restaurant was closed, so we ate in the lounge (bar) and it was fine.“

“Small cozy pub with great food.“
