Hurricane Ron's is one of those funky little gems you stumble upon and immediately want to tell everyone about. The place has a quirky, laid-back vibe that makes it feel like a true local spot. The clam chowder? Easily some of the best I've had and rich, flavorful, and exactly what you want on the coast. What really sets it apart though is the service was friendly, welcoming, and on point without being over the top. If you're cruising through Astoria, this is an absolute must-stop. You'll leave full and already planning your next visit. read more

Hurricane Ron's is one of those places that entices tourists with the flashy exterior and ambiance, but locals won't go near. Aside from the obvious, this place has a plethora of issues. Before being pulled in by the fun beach themed facade when visiting Astoria, google the owner's name or read a few reviews and think again. read more

As a local, I can attest to the fact that the owner pled guilty to and paid criminal fines for repeatedly failing to address Health Dept findings including fish not stored at appropriate temperatures and fresh seafood w/o any record of catch date. In other words, don't eat here. Here's the link: https://dailyastorian.com/2025/04/15/astoria-restaurant-owner-pleads-guilty-to-record-keeping-violations-involving-fish-shellfish/ read more

It was Sunday 6/16 and the USCG Eagle was in port for visitation, Father's Day and the Astoria Market. Did a lot of walking and were hungry. Had a cute outside area to sit and eat lunch. Jessica was wonderful and helped us with our choices, she was right on! The fish was hot, cooked perfectly and was SO FRESH. I had Hurricane Chowder and it was delicious, hot and was full of fish, crab, scallops and shrimp (of course there were potatoes). The flavor was fantastic!!! The beer was COLD. Watched the people, trolly and boats go by... Only con: was the outside tables needed to be cleaned, they were sticky. Thank you Jessica. read more

I don't know if I'd recommend this place.. the service was awful. The clams were awful with a strange taste and THICK batter. And the fries had no seasoning at all. The clam chowder and hurricane chowder were amazing! I highly recommend those 2! The vibes are strange, lots of dead animals with no attention on you! Sad this wasn't better read more

Wonderful food, staff were all friendly and courteous, and you couldn't beat the relaxing environment. Definitely worth the stop. My husband has the fresh cod and chips, and I enjoyed the smashing chowder. Crispy, yet soft bread bowl and all those extra seafood toppings were just perfection to me. read more

This place is a gem. I swear it's everything. The decor is EVERYTHING. Reminds me of an old coworker who collected everything and was such a vibe to be around. There is no sense to it, yet it makes sense hahaha. You have to check out the decorations, the bearded dragons were so fun for the kids to look at, the friendly super humble owner saw the kids and he took the dragons out for them to pet. It was so sweet. The food was great! Portions were just right!! The clam chowder is better than any SoCal by the beach chowder I grew up on. I loveddd it. I especially loved seeing the unique menu. Must come here! read more

First time here. Made a visit based on Yelper reviews. The selection was odd but in a good way! Our server was super nice and explained the unique menu (camel and kangaroo burgers?!). We loved the eclectic vibe and the live bearded dragon! read more

ordered a famous Bloody Mary and everything on the skewer sticks was fried, absolutely not appetizing at all to say the least considering it's a "seafood restaurant", drink was very weak and watered down, seems to be a dive bar/joint. I will not being going back nor recommending read more

We ate in the bar area - very interesting eclectic decor. Lots of Vietnamese influence - not surprising as Ron travelled extensively in Asia and his wife (the chef) is from Vietnam. We love the dive bar ambiance. Service was fine - our waittress was very friendly and attentive. My wife really loved her crab louie. I had the grilled salmon sandwich ( which was excellent) and a cup of chowder which was outstanding. We come from the Willamette valley and love this place. It feels like old-time Astoria. read more

Omg the Hurricane Chowder is to die for!! This is more of a Seafood Chowder, because of the many types of seafood in the Chowder. This is NO clam chowder. The hurricane comes in a bread bowl, it is a meal in its self. Do not order Hurricane Chowder and another Entree, boy way too much food. Hurricane Ron's in Astoria is a cute and quaint corner restaurant, colorfully decorated. Easy going and a walk in. Service was good too, Waitress was very personable and accommodating. We will come back!! read more

Ordered the sturgeon fish and chips. It was way over cooked making the sturgeon hard and chewy. However French fries were great. A bad day? Maybe, but at the cost of the meal they should not have served it when it was obviously over cooked. Crust was on the verge of burnt read more

This place was highly recommended by the locals and we sat next to a couple that has been dining here for many years. They have a huge menu selection, if you like exotic meats this is the place to visit. I really enjoyed my clam chowder and bison burger all very tasty. read more

Hurricane Ron’s - Hurricane clam chowder - Seafood Near Me - Astoria, Oregon

We came here for the crab.. and it did not disappoint. We tried and shared lots of food options and most were great! Razor clams. Fried oysters and crab dinners all got 5 stars.. raw oysters were delicious as well. The calamari strips were too salty. The crab dinner was totally worth the money! The crab was delicious and it came with a side salad (amazing!) and clam chowder (unfortunately, the flavor was overpowered with too much bacon, herbs, and pepper, but still ok).. I did take away a star mainly for ambience, the place really needs a good cleaning. Even though some odor is understandable, since they work with a ton of seafood, the strong old fishy smell was off-putting to a number of people in our party. Better cleaning and ventilation could fix the problem. read more

Good wait staff, underwhelming food. Find somewhere else to eat. I could not eat what came out of the "kitchen"

Fish and Chips (Rockfish), was tender, moist and delicious. Great outdoor seating options, music at a perfect level. Pricing was very reasonable at $15.50 for a ton of food. Finding the entrance is tricky, first walked in, and thought I was at the wrong business, (looks like you're walking into a bar). Service was spot on, you have to wait a little longer for the food, but we'll worth the wait as it is Fred. read more

Go somewhere else! Smells, dirty, dark inside! Tried the Baked Oysters (good) their version of "Shrimp Cocktail" over lettuce which had a bad taste was ridiculous with a pile of bay shrimp. Water is served in plastic cups. Staff were great and friendly. They leave the doors open so flies come in and out. Maybe try for the outdoor seating . Decor is overly cluttered (you can see this from the outside to) could be interesting and you want to like it, but the food we tried.....No! read more

I can't say enough good things about this place! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was something special--cozy, a little quirky, and full of charm. It is a hidden gem on the coast. Now, onto the food: absolutely phenomenal. The clam chowder was easily one of the best I've ever had--rich, creamy, and packed with fresh clams and the hurricane chowder was a mix of seafood favorites with amazing flavor. The oysters were incredibly fresh, served ice-cold with a perfect briny snap. And the fish and chips? Light, crispy, and flaky with a batter that was just right. Everything tasted like it had been caught that morning, because it was; we watched as it was delivered. To top it off, the staff; especially the owner, could not have been more genuinely warm and welcoming. They clearly love what they do, and it shows in both the service and the food. If you're a fan of fresh seafood and unique local spots, this place is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back! read more

Na beers available, Stella and Heineken. Great street side bar for hot days. Friendly staff and fast service.

Stopped in on a rainy Saturday. Friendly staff who just make you feel at home. Dungies were in and cooked right up for us. Delicious margarita and fried oysters. We just like this eclectic place. read more

Service was good, even with internet going out. Has the seafood chowder in a big bowl and it was enough for about three meals. Ron is the fisherman and his wife cooks them up. read more

I've always loved this kind of boho ambience complete with amazing flowers and plants surrounding you that are well taken care of. They are definitely fed well and with good food. If I were one of their plants they would be getting an amazing review. :) The service was wonderful. She was friendly at the get go and right there to take our order. We both ordered oyster burgers and they were full on with fresh tasting oysters that were fried just perfectly. read more

Great food, excellent customer service. Family of 5 was quickly sat on the patio. Our server (missed her name Monday 8/26 around 5/6) she was on it. She provided great care, and earned her tip. She was excellent. The food was sooooo good it will be our tradition to stop here now. read more

Absolutely worth the stop. Tons of personality and character in the restaurant. Ron is as genuine as it comes and a real pleasure to interact with. He was fantastic with my entire family including my kids (11 of us in total). Don't let the other review sway you. It's 100% worth the stop and the seafood is as fresh as it gets. The fish and clams were being offloaded and processed while we were being seated and we had the pleasure of watching the fish get filleted. It was a tremendous experience! Food was fantastic and the people were even better! read more

After reading everyone's reviews ...even the 1* reviews we decided to try it anyway. We sat at the bar, the waitress/bartender was hustling but friendly and attended to us quickly. We ordered the razor clam on a stick and 3 oysters on a half shell plus drinks. Drinks - The Berrygood was refreshing and the blue Hawaiian hit me within 10 minutes. Both refreshing and enjoyable. Razor clam on a stick - almost perfect, very light breading, only the end was a bit chewy. Oysters on the half shell...unfortunately the fishiest oysters I have ever had. read more

This place was pretty terrible. All the seafood tasted off. They sat us in the "patio" area which smelled like a dirty fish tank and had piles of dirty equipment everywhere, and there was a mouse going in and out of the wall read more

Server was friendly, and accommodating to make us happy. I thought the clam chowder was not to my liking and would not order it again. We shared the Columbia River Plate, the fish was cooked well, but we found it really did not have a lot of flavor. The prices were in our estimation a little steep for the amount of food that was on your order. We doubt that we will return, next time in the area...We would like to thank them however for their service to our table. read more

Visited Astoria on a Sunday and many of the restaurants and stores we wanted to go to were closed. We ended up eating here because we wanted seafood. We got the crab cocktail, clam and chips, cioppino and half gallon of steamed clams. The clams in the clam and chips were kinda chewy and over cooked but I liked that it has minimal breading. The steamed clams had tons of sand still in it. Some were ok but most still had sand which made it unappetizing. When we asked, the server told us "that's not bad. I have seen worse." Then he proceeded to tell us how they attempt to get the sand out of the clams. The cioppino had good flavor though and service was decent. With the price I would expect higher quality food. If you go, don't order the steamed clams. read more

Very cool bar and seafood dive in downtown Astoria. Heard about the razor clam season so we went hunting them. All fingers pointed here and we are happy for the kismet. They are unique and large- deep friend and severed in a stick. Fun waitress made it perfect- and she's a pretty server as well! Ask for Sophia- mention Geane sent you. read more

Stopped at Hurricane Ron's for lunch during our visit to Astoria, Oregon. I had the fried oysters and they were pretty good... crunchy coating and delicious and tender on the inside. The order, which was $19, came with fries, cole slaw, lemon, tartar sauce, and a slice of toast. I think there were half a dozen oysters in my order and they weren't very big, so it was probably pricier than I'm used to. My friend ordered the crab stuffed mushrooms to share and they were delicious! The picture of the fried oysters shows the mushroom, but be aware that it didn't come with the oysters! The oysters were so small that you can't really see them on the plate! read more
