Yummy fish
John V.

Stopped for a lunch and my wife and I shared a basket. Dined outside and the fish dinner we had was super delicious. Not cheap, but worth the price.

Crab Chowder- mmmmm Dee-lish!
Kara Shay T.

Hands down my favorite chowder in Florence. Forrest was spot on with his recommendations! And even at 10:45 in the morning, when I began my chowxer tastin trek, everything was hot. He offers samples of all 3 chowders, clam, crab and smoked salmon. I settled in the crab which was packed with fresh picked crab! Locals started showing up with coolers to pack their fav fresh fish for home and Forrest handled everyone with ease! As a former New Englander- Krab Kettle takes a seat next to my favorite chowder house in Gloucester!!! Ignore all the hype about Mo's and treat yourself to these chowders!

Crab Po'boy Sandwich
Allison M.

This was the best gem we found on our drive up the 101!! The staff were so friendly and the options were amazing. We got to try their brand new Po'Boy crab and shrimp sandwiches... absolutely AMAZING!! So fresh and the flavor with the sauce is so good! We also got to try their smoked salmon chowder and a crab clam chowder. So fresh and flavorful it was delicious! We also bought their famous smoked salmon... insanely good! Had to buy their candied smoke salmon as well. 11 out of 10 worth it to stop. They have a couple of picnic benches outside to eat. Was amazing and hope to come back next time!

We passed the Krab Kettle a few times and decided to stop in and grab a crab cocktail to try. We were a little late in the day around 5 and so they were sold out of the crab. My husband also wanted the bay shrimp cocktail which he said was ok maybe a little fishy. I am not a fan of bay shrimp due to their mushy texture so I had one small bite. The cocktail sauce was good and I was given some oyster crackers which the kids loved. They also have packets of lemon, hot sauce, salt, and pepper to add on your cocktail. The guy working was friendly and explained that I could always call ahead and order the crab cocktail. They would keep it fridgerated until I was able to pick it up. Would have done that if we weren't leaving at 6 am the next morning. There is a parking lot in the back as well as street parking out front.

BEST CLAM CHOWDER in town!!!!! First things first the chowder is filled with big pieces of clams. These are not your canned variety of clams. Someone went and chucked some clams fresh for the chowder made fresh daily. You have to get their early so it doesn't run out. The base is thick and rich. Each bite is a flavorful mouth full of ocean and land. Thai is literally the best chowder in town. Did I say that already? If your in Florence please do yourself a favor and come on through.

Just got a cup of clam chowder here- but I would come back just to do it again! This spot off just off 101 had the freshest and most clams in my chowder- and I made my way through 2 other cups around town. Fresh soup with pockets of piping hot potatoes. The folks behind the counter were great and made sure we were taken care of to eat our cup ASAP- haha.

The crab and shrimp cocktail enjoyed on the beach! Perfect combination.

Located in a cute part of town, Nosh has a charming, quaint feel with warm, inviting decor. When we arrived, our table was already set with a candle and flowers, which was such a thoughtful touch. Our server, Bri, was fantastic! She was fun, outgoing, and genuinely seemed to enjoy what she does. The service was great, and the food came out right on time. And the food? Excellent! The flavors and sauces were spot-on, perfectly balanced, and not overdone. Everyone was kind, welcoming, and accommodating, making the whole experience that much better. Our only suggestion for the owner would be to consider adding seat cushions to the metal chairs. They're cute, but a little cold and hard! Other than that, everything was wonderful. We'd absolutely come back and highly recommend Nosh if you're looking for a great meal and a welcoming atmosphere!

We also ordered the fish and chips and the chili verde Mac and cheese as the main entree, both were great! The consistency of the cheesy sauce was creamy and flavorful, which is hard to come by. The fish was yummy, my only critique would be the batter was thick in some spots but the crust and crunch was nice on the sizable fish chunks and it was cooked perfect. Server was very attentive and polite! He was on it. Got our drinks, food, refills fast. Definitely would recommend this place!

What an absolutely decadent birthday dinner at The Hukilau in Florence!…read more This is easily one of my favorite restaurants, and once again, everything was perfection. We feasted on soft-shell crab, musubi, fresh sashimi and sushi, halibut and chips, giant tacos, and Hawaiian teriyaki chicken--and there was not a single dish that disappointed. The flavors were beautiful, everything tasted incredibly fresh, and each plate seemed better than the one before it. The soft-shell crab was especially divine, and the sushi and sashimi were wonderful. There is something special about celebrating your birthday somewhere you genuinely love, surrounded by incredible food and the people you love. This meal felt indulgent, joyful, and completely worth celebrating. The Hukilau remains one of my absolute favorite restaurants in Florence. If you love Hawaiian-inspired food, fresh seafood, sushi, and generous portions, this little gem is a must. A perfect birthday dinner from beginning to end. We will absolutely be back!

They have restaurants up and down the Oregon coast, and they also have one at Portland International Airport. I like the way that the airport. Put the spotlight on Portland and Oregon businesses. I liked the place. It has a very nice atmosphere. Nice and simple, nothing fancy. Nice decorations. And yes, of course they have a gift shop. My server was Noelle. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. I decided to start with two of the oyster shooters. They were extremely high-quality oysters. The problem was, is that they came with a lot of cocktail sauce on the top. I wish she would've given me the option of having the sauce on the side. It was a good cocktail sauce, it had just a little bit of horseradish in it, enough that I noticed it, but I thought it took away from the oysters a little bit. I would not have put as much on my oysters. The main course was a total home run. Slumgullion clam chowder. Basically, clam chowder with Oregon Bay shrimp on top. This place is known for their chowder, with the same family recipe being used for decades. It was an excellent chowder. Thick and rich. There was even a little pat of butter on the side to add to the richness. The shrimp gave the chowder another dimension. It made it more of a seafood chowder than just a clam chowder, but both the shrimp and the clams played very well together. For dessert, Noel mentioned that they had marionberry cobbler. I decided to go for it. The filling itself was amazing. Lots of berries, and it wasn't overly sweet. The only problem is, the dough on top wasn't cooked. It was just a little flap of uncooked dough. It was getting late in the evening, so I just ate around the dough. Like I said, the filling itself was absolutely amazing. But come on, how did this get out of the kitchen? Overall, for what I got, the price was reasonable, and they do offer a military/veterans discount.. everything was overall good, there were just a few glitches here and there. I would definitely come back, especially for that chowder, and the next time I would have the cocktail sauce on the side with those oysters. I think there needs just to be a little bit more attention to detail. Thanks.

When we walked in, we were lucky enough to get a window table. Our server, Noel, was right there to help us out. We ordered two entrées, the combination platter and the fried clam platter. Both came with two sides and we ordered the same things. A cup of clam chowder and french fries. The clam chowder was filled with clams and they put a dab of butter on top to add some richness. I don't know how they do it, but both platters came out within minutes. Both were hot. The combination platter came with a chunk of fried cod, fried shrimp, and fried clams. Both of us thought our food was really good. I'm happy to report that I recommend Mo's's in Florence anyone.

We got menus quickly and were able to place our orders within ten minutes of arriving, a huge improvement from the last place! I ordered the bacon avocado burger with fries and my friend got the patty melt with coleslaw. Our food arrived about 10-15 minutes after ordering and it looked so good! My burger was cooked well and the fries were delicious. The burger was pretty basic and didn't blow me away, but it hit the spot. The patty melt was also great and my friend ate all of it. It was all great! The restaurant space was clean and had plenty of space to move around. It smelled good too, like garlic and butter.

It took a short bit before we were able to place our order, but we could clearly see that our server, Michanne, was hustling, and she communicated with us the entire time. Even though she was so busy, she was smiling and friendly throughout our visit. Our food came out in a totally reasonable time frame. We ordered chowder and fish and chips, then we split the last dessert they had - bread pudding with rum sauce and raisins. It was clear why the chowder was an award winner - it was loaded with clams, potatoes, bacon, and herbs, and the creamy base was very well-flavored. The fish and chips were fresh and crisp, cooked perfectly, and not heavily greasy. It was clear the fryer oil was changed regularly. The bread pudding was perfect - rich and spiced with cinnamon, with a decadent rum sauce and warm, soft raisins, and the portion was huge. So big that, even sharing, we couldn't finish. When it came time to pack up leftovers, Michanne made sure we had everything we needed, and when she heard that my kid was going to be excited about the oyster crackers (he's loved them since he was tiny), she made sure to tuck in a few extra packets. As we were getting ready to leave, she even made sure we each had a to-go cup of iced tea, prepared exactly as we'd initially ordered - no sugar or lemon for me; no sugar, with lemon, for my friend, and she even noted that she had seeded the lemon. It was easily the best restaurant meal I've had in I don't know how long, largely due to Michanne. If you visit, I suggest you seek her out. And get you a piece of that bread pudding, if they haven't already run out.

I am going to take my chances with the yogurt that sat a little to long on my desk! 1st the egg roll... tastes like oil & mushy cabbage... not other real flavor & tastes like they did not have the oil hot enough. The Chow mein...rather dry and taste like a hint of spy sauce and salt, the noodle might of needed cooked longer. The bigger issue... the outer coating on the chicken is mushy and falling off the chicken, the sauce tastes slightly sweet but no real flavor to it, the chicken under the coating simply taste like it soaked in salt water. FOR ALMOST $8.00 THE NEXT TIME I WANT CHINESE FOOD I WILL JUST GO TO AN ACTUAL RESTAURAUNT WHERE THE FOOD MAY BE EDIBLE AND WAY MORE FOR A SIMILAR PRICE! Fortunately for me the Pharmacy staff is great!
