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.

Stopped in today and got a half dozen oysters as well as a crab and shrimp cocktail for a beach picnic. It was lovely and fresh. Friendly and efficient service, will definitely make this a regular in my rotation when I'm in town. Literally made my day!

Absolutely amazing clam chowder! I always stop here at Florence when I go to the coast to get a cup of this superb chowder. No, this is NOT a restaurant and you can't eat it inside anywhere, but there are picnic tables outsides. Or if the weather is awful, just eat it in your car. It is so worth it. It comes in a to-go cup or boel, with a spon and crackers, some hot sauce if you ask for it. But is is NEVER done before 12:00, they make it daily from scratch. Returned again today, clam chowder is STILL the best ever on the Oregon coast!

Backside of the shop with free parking if you couldn't get some in front on 101.

Above and beyond wonderful service and fresh seafood choices here! I was craving fresh Oregon Dungeness crab cocktail and they completely made my day! Thank you, thank you!! Their oysters, clam, salmon, shrimp and halibut were lovely as well and they have a well stocked shop with clam fry supplies and sauces including their own label Cioppino sauce and canned albacore should you need to go with all the goodies they sell here.

The caprese was great alongside-- I was already full and still housed the house made focaccia and pesto, truly so incredible. for our main we split the cajun salmon with pico de gallo, mashed potatoes, and side caesar salad. delicious!!! I don't even really like caesar salad that much, and theirs is top notch. they split our plate for an extra $3 and it was plenty after appetizers. lastly, interiors: our table was perfect. they sat us right by the window on the water for sunset. I was only in florence for the night and can tell this is the best spot in town!

You know what you're paying for, the view.....unless you're willing to pay even more; most likely the food will suck and the service will be bad because your waiter is crazy busy. Positives: -the prices were very reasonable and affordable. We got a lot of great tasting seafood and finished everything we had. The seafood boil was great. The stuffed mushrooms were amazing too. -service was great, our waitress was very honest giving us her honest opinion on what we should order. She recommended we share too instead of trying to sell us an additional dish. -ambiance, sitting outdoors on a waterfront you can't beat that. Overall 5/5 I honestly loved my experience so much that I'm ready to leave California behind. California is overrated, that's my honest opinion being a California native of almost 40 years. I used to love it and think that I would never want to leave. I can't say that anymore, especially recently.

From the…read moremoment we walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming and relaxed, with that perfect coastal Hawaiian fusion vibe that just fits so well. The food was outstanding across the board. The kids' fish and chips were a pleasant surprise--made with real rockfish, which you don't always see on a kids' menu, and it was done perfectly. Emma loved her sushi roll, and LaRue's shrimp sliders were packed with flavor and cooked just right. I went with the panko fried prawns along with the Hawaiian pulled pork, and both were absolutely excellent--crispy, fresh, and full of flavor. Even the appetizer set the tone for the meal--it was clear right away that they care about quality. What really stood out, though, was the combination of great food and great service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel easy and enjoyable without being overbearing. Overall, this was one of those meals where everything just clicked--food, service, and atmosphere. We'll definitely be back, and it's an easy recommendation for anyone looking for something a little different with really solid execution.

The attitudes are positive. This restaurant feels like a good time. The prices have gone up. I blame the economic conditions rather than the owners themselves. The food sometimes I feel like the sauce is too much or the food is too sweet or too salty. I don't feel that the food is super consistent every time I go. I love supporting local business owners. I love the story of the restaurant how it started as a food truck. I just wish the food was more consistent when you order.

The unique mix of decorations and the adaptable tables and benches give the place a one-of-a-kind charm. I highly recommend it if you enjoy a vibrant dining atmosphere. The customer service was exceptional. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and impressively fast without ever making us feel rushed. You can tell they genuinely care about the experience. Now, the food--starting with the chowder. It was delicious, packed with large chunks of potato and generously sized clams. A very solid start to the meal. The French fries were cooked perfectly crispy, though a bit on the bland side--definitely better with ketchup. The salad, on the other hand, was a standout. Easily a 10/10. The shrimp were great, and the freshness and crispness of the greens really made it shine. For the main courses, the shrimp melt was fantastic--great portion size and loaded with both cheese and shrimp. They definitely didn't skimp. The shrimp skewers with fettuccine Alfredo were absolutely amazing and full of flavor. Lastly, the fish tacos had some highs and lows. The portion size was great, and both the sauce and salsa were very enjoyable. However, the fish itself was a bit bland and relied on the toppings to carry the flavor. Overall, I loved my experience and would absolutely recommend checking this place out!

We ordered the fettuccine Alfredo w/ grilled shrimp (which had crispy breadcrumbs)-- this happened to be our favorite since it was well seasoned and al dente. We ordered blackened fish tacos, it was a little dry and wished it had more flavor. We also tried the combo platter which included fried clams (our favorite, suprised we haven't tried this before), fried rockfish, and fried shrimp- tasted mid, as expected. They came with sides od your choice, we went with coleslaw and bay shrimp added- pleasantly sweet, and clam chowder-pretty decent. The seating is nice so that you can view the river, but the sun does reflect quite a bit. So the lighting is a little difficult as reflected in my photos.

I waited at the self-checkout for about 10 minutes just to turn in a can deposit ticket. When nothing happened, I went to a regular checkout instead. The cashier, an older woman named Sue, was immediately rude and dismissive. When I tried to hand her the ticket, she told me I had to go back to self-checkout and wait, claiming it was "not possible" to give me the money from her register. That's simply not true--I've turned in can deposit tickets at this exact Safeway through regular checkout multiple times before. Instead of helping or explaining calmly, she talked down to me and made the situation unnecessarily difficult. Policies don't excuse disrespect, and misinformation definitely doesn't help customers. This interaction wasted my time and guaranteed I won't be seeking help from that employee again.. I don't understand why people hire Rude individuals.
