    Onion rings and a lady giving us a dirty look because we were having too much fun.
    Raymond H.

    Saw multiple sea lions frolicking just below us out the window! Incomparable views at this place. Starting to be a road trip tradition for us. Perfect spot to take a family. Not the least bit pretentious. Service was fantastic. Genuine, down to earth people.

    Chain restaurants can be hit or miss, so I was pleasantly surprised with the quick service, cleanliness, and delicious food at Mo's. I ordered the Crispy Fried Shrimp entree which came with a cup of clam chowder and fries. The side of cocktail sauce complemented the shrimp perfectly, and the fries were piping hot and crispy as well. To top it off, the restaurant offers gorgeous views of the Columbia River. Be sure to stop by Mo's if you're in the area!

    Views were great. Service was very nice and knowledgeable. Chowder was good, not the best I've had but good. I wish it had more "chunks". The only real thing I could tell were the potatoes. Bread was dry. With the chowder, it was good! But not great by itself. Mario berry cobbler was great! The pastry on top was great. Just wish there was more

    Now I have been to ALL the MO's restaurants. A beautiful site to relax, have lunch and watch the ships go by. A tad windy today so we got a window seat inside and didn't miss a thing! Abby was our server, had a very pleasant experience with her. The beer was cold, clam strips good, cod platter good as was the bouillabaisse special. The Marion Berry cobbler/vanilla ice cream was to die for. Have a great selection of souvenirs to choose from.

    This place is really cute from the moment you walk in. The ambiance is perfect! The service was great, they were super friendly. The food to me was alright. The clam chowder was good. I did get the fish tacos and those were good. I do wish they had more seafood options though or if the menu had more to offer.

    I have been going to Moe's since I was a kid and now I'm bringing my kid. Growing up we always went to the SIletz bay location but now as an adult we frequent the Astoria location. The food is always consistent. The service is usually on point and the atmosphere is what you would want. There is a pretty view almost anywhere you sit. I am very nostalgic for Moe's, it never disappoints us. I believe Moe's to be falling into a new food trend specifically in the Northwest, where it has became underrated as a great place, because so many people say its overrated. It's not. Its a great classic seafood restaurant. Great chowder, great fish and shrimp. Our family loves the grilled cheese. Highly reccomend getting that and dumping it in some chowder.

    We had a really good dinner here. While not as good of chowder as what they had years ago, it was still good. We had really good service and were able to sit outside on the water. This place has great views!

    Food was ok. We were kinda not in the mood for seafood that day so my daughter and I ordered chicken sandwiches and they were definitely chicken strips from their kids menu that is repurposed for the sandwich. It tasted fine. The fish tacos looked really good, I think I would get that if I came back. Service was good but food was slow, it took a while. Restaurant reminds me of Joe's Crab Shack.

    a cup of chowder to go!

    Usually when my family and I hit the coast, we like to stop at Mo's since it's always been one of our favorites for chowder. Over the years, we've noticed the food at some locations (like Seaside and Cannon Beach) has lost a bit of flavor, so we weren't sure what to expect this time. Yesterday was our first time visiting the Astoria location, and it was such a great experience! The food was delicious, the staff was super friendly, and the views by the water made it even better. We'll definitely be coming back whenever we're in the area!

    Best clamp chowder ever! No seriously. The rest of the food was good and the view of the Columbia is great. Beet is cold and the service was speedy and friendly. See our YouTube channel Coolest Life.

    I had originally wanted the Mexican restaurant that was nearby, but somehow ended up in the parking lot for Mo's - it was cold and rainy and what else is more perfect on a day like that than fish and chips? Inside, I discovered something I was unaware of that I needed in my life - a banana slug plush! I was seated rather promptly with a great view of the water! The waiter I had was attentive, and prompt. Not a long wait at all. There was a lovely couple seated at the table next to me and I had a lovely chat with them. I had the fish and chips and they were so delicious! I'd highly reccomend Mo's!

    Randy S.

    Our family has been Mo's customers for several generations. I'm a simple chowder and homemade bread person, and location to location the consistency of the food is tremendous. Quiet night at the Astoria location on a Wednesday in Mid-November an hour before close. Was well taken care of by the staff. And an amazing view, even in the evening.

    Stopped in for afternoon bay shrimp cocktail. Delicious. Everyone was very friendly. Great view of the Columbia River in a diner environment. They've added many gluten free items to their menu!

The only negative experience was with the guy seating us upstairs, he definitely had a bit of an attitude. We ordered a 16" half Almighty and half Margherita pizza along with a Caesar salad. The pizza was really good overall, although they definitely could've put more cheese on the Margherita side because it felt a little skimpy. Still very tasty though. The Caesar salad unfortunately tasted really old, but our server was fantastic, apologized immediately, and removed it from the bill without issue. Great customer service honestly made a big difference. Overall, I'd definitely come back!

Totally forgivable though #2) potatoes in bouillabaisse were so undercooked they were inedible. They made up most of the dish too. On the plus side, the broth and fish were well prepared. See photo #3) onions in the Hungarian mushroom soup were large, crunchy and near raw. #4) a main ingredient in my special salad was completely missing and it was impossible to find my wait person. Thankfully a bus person assisted, went to a manager, then the busser brought the ingredient to the table. #5) very poor timing of dishes brought to the table. Since there were few people dining I find this perplexing #6) we were never ONCE asked how things were, surprising especially since a manager knew of at least one misstep. The food was not awful, but the issues with the food combined with the "I don't care" wait staff and management in a pricy restaurant made it a NEVER AGAIN situation

Worker's Tavern offers a full bar along with slot machines. There is an ATM on-site for those who need to take money out to gamble with. Indoors is small but has tables to seat large groups. In the back one will find an outdoor seating area with a dissimilar vibe than the tavern. During our visit, the kitchen staff was about 45 minutes late so we weren't able to order breakfast right away. Once the kitchen staff decided to show up, there were quite a few people ready to order their breakfast which caused disjointed and undercooked meal deliveries. Table service was not offered inside or outside. All transactions are done at the bar. The breakfast menu doesn't list pricing and when I asked about the prices, I was told they change regularly. Shady statement. While waiting for the kitchen staff I sipped on a Bloody Mary for $12 and my wife sipped on a Screwdriver for $6.50. The Bloody Mary seemed a bit overpriced to me. Two people in our group ordered the Chicken Fried Steak and it was still frozen on the inside when served. Worker's Tavern corrected the meals; however, I'm certain the meals were undercooked due to the pressure of the late kitchen staff and the hungry demands of the morning patrons. It is imperative that staff show up at their scheduled shift times. I wanted to try the Cheddar Fritters & Syrup but was told they were out of the item. My wife and I shared the Mushroom Swiss Omelet for $14 + $4.25 up-charge to add sausage to the omelet. We were both happy with our meal choice. Overall, Worker's Tavern has potential; however, that potential was severely during our visit.

I'm not totally sure of the vibe they're going for and, to be fair I've only been inside one supper club and it was in Las Vegas, so maybe not a fair comparison. We accidentally walked into the bar section, which seemed like a tiki bar. We were sat in the restaurant, which was decorated with an amateurish mish mosh of seemingly random items. I didn't see a stage, but maybe there was a place for a performer. We were there for lunch. The many is extensive, but also don't seem special. Lots of tiki type drinks and many menu items you'd expect. We ordered the calamari to share, on the recommendation of the server. It was pretty good. We also ordered the Louie Louie to share, which actually isn't on the lunch menu but they kindly agreed to make it for us. I should have been alerted when the server asked what kind of dressing we wanted. She listed several, not including thousand island. I responded, "I think a Louie traditionally has thousand island, do you have that?" She did. The salad had many of the elements, most importantly a good sized amount of lump crab meat. That part was good! The other elements were meh. I would have liked avocado. And I think if you're doing a $30 Louie, you need a special dressing. There were maybe 8 bacon bits. Just not a flavorful Louie. Maybe they do other things well, but I won't be back.
