25 Best American Restaurants near Rockaway Beach

“It's been years since I was down in Rockaway and it didn't disappoint after years away. Really solid, but to be fair a lot of it may be nostalgia from being here as a teen. Either way, I'm here every time I am in or pass through Rockaway.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!! 😊“

“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)“

“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!!!!!“

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

“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!!!“

“Disneyland doesn’t have what this place does; thee HAPPIEST place on earth. Sara(h) is my who I wanna be when I grow up and Olivia is everything you want in a friend and server.
The food is ridiculously outstanding. The drinks are creative and confident. You can’t wave a handkerchief or hand without MAKING a new friend. I was surprisingly impressed by Oregon but I’d stay for Poach503.“

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

“Great cafe, despite being very busy they execute everything very well. My omelette was fluffy, hash browns crispy, and coffee was also great. Would love to try some of their pies they looked amazing. If there is a wait you have to wait outside or in your car so bring a jacket! Came on a Saturday morning and only had to wait about ten minutes.“

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

“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!“

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

“The place is the bomb. The cook and bartender are super chill and totally down to earth. Food was freaking awesome. Suggest the steak strips emmmm good! They serve really good drinks and they have video poker!!!! What a plus! Very good restaurant/diner vibes to make you feel comfortable and not rushed to hurry and get out of there....“

“One of the very few eating options in Manzanita, this eatery often has a waiting line so arrive early. The menu covers many bases from meatloaf to fried oysters, veggie platters to burgers. We shared the delicious tempura-style artichoke and cauliflower appetizer. This is the way 1950’s mothers used to cook: filling, nutritious, and competently with service to match.
Improvement could be certainly be made to reduce the periodic ear-splitting levels of noise and improve the desultory decor.“

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

“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 ❤“

“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!!!“

“Wine is decent and the server was nice. They need one more server though. We ordered a bottle instead of a tasting because we could tell the wait between tastings was going to take awhile. She forgot to make some food for the other people that we were sharing a table with.“

“Small cozy pub with great food.“
