Homemade Onion Rings
Keely N.

The tables were cute with seashells! I thought it was odd that the server brought 2 cups of clam chowder even though we ordered 2 additional bowls. Mo'mosa was good for $7. I was disappointed by the onion rings! I thought that it was extremely overcooked and a bit pricey for its quality.

Yum! Don't know what's up with these one star reviews. Great bustling location on the Newport bayfront. While it was busy, there was no wait when we visited on a sunny Saturday afternoon in mid-July. We opted for the clam chowder in a bread bowl + onion rings and were not disappointed. As someone who spent years in New England, this bowl of chowder was legit. Fast service, fair prices, and overall positive experience. Nothing like a bowl of clam chowder near the ocean!

Baked Oysters
Cecilia M.

Friendly service and great food. While I wasn't hungry enough for a full meal, I wanted to indulge on some oysters! I The baked oysters come served with melted butter and lemon wedges. The oysters were super plump, flavorful, and satisfying. I wish they had fried oysters too, but these were still awesome. My partner ordered a bowl of clam chowder. He told me he would rate it a 10/10. Waiter was always smiling and made sure we were taken care of. When we come back to visit, I look forward to trying more food from Mo's. Worth it!

Mo's Clam Chowder (Cup)
Zachary P.

My wife and I were craving some classic fish and chips while visiting the coast. While touring the beautiful town of Newport, OR., we stopped into Mo's for a quick lunch! The service was fast and polite. The environment is warming and clean. My wife ordered the same as I, COD fish and chips. However, for a side my wife ordered the shrimp salad and I settled on a cup of chowder. The food came out quickly and the server was professional but cold. The Fish was unfortunately overcooked and had a rubber-like texture. The clam chowder was great when I added additional salt and pepper. I did however, have a small clam shell in my chowder which surprised me with an unsettling crunch. The total bill was: $43.90 without any drinks. I feel that the price is fair. The service was good and the environment was great. However, the food was below par; Especially the fish. 3/5 Stars. Thanks for reading. Cheers!

Bowl of Clam Chowder with fresh shrimp. All I could taste was bacon.

Sorry Mo's, I'm just not a fan of bacon in clam chowder. I want to taste clams not the bacon. And why couldn't I pay to add fresh crab on top of my bowl or chowder unless it was in a bread bowl, but I could only pay to add fresh shrimp? But had I ordered the bread bowl (which I didn't want because I don't like soggy bread) I could have paid to add fresh crab?

Parking is difficult, but free. A 15 minute wait for dinner. The staff were polite and friendly. Of course the clam chowder was delicious and creamy.. the oyster stew was great. The cod and halibut fish and chips were excellent. The French fries are very good. And the calamari appetizers was good. The atmosphere was good.

Cup of chowder with side of garlic cheese bread.

There's a reason you go to Mo's. It's not for groundbreaking culinary recipes or suggestions on wine pairings. It's nostalgia, consistency, and affordability. It's when you just want a a big bread bowl of chowder or some old fashioned deep fried seafood. I came here for a late lunch, at around 2pm on a Monday afternoon. I knew exactly what I wanted: a cup of chowder with cheesy garlic bread. I was seated and barely glanced at the menu. The eagle eyed waitress beelined toward me and cheerfully said something like "I see you set aside you menu already; you must have a plan!" Yes, I did. Mo's waitresses are true professionals, in my experience. This woman was everything you want in a waitress: older, genuinely friendly, prompt, and efficient. Like a good Jersey diner waitress, these women are usually ten times better at their jobs than the folks working at the fancy restaurants. Don't let people talk you out of Mo's because it's "basic". Sometimes you want something simple and comforting and relatively affordable. It's a solid choice.

Side Caesar Salads Fries

8/10! service was alright, food was great, hot and delivered pretty quickly. Portions were great as well. Was pretty cold in the restaurant but it's the beach so I can't blame em'.

Halibut Fish & Chips

Food was great!! I ordered the halibut fish and chips, with a side of clam chowder. I Tried a bite if the cabbage shrimp salad and the marian berry pie with scoop of vanilla ice cream!! YUMMO!!

After a day at the beach, we decided to get some grub. We headed to Mo's. I ordered the chiopino and got some chowder. The broth of the chiopino was very flavorful and appropriate. The chowder was typical Mo's. There always seems to be debate about chowder, but I do like theirs. Kids got kid friendly meals and the wife got Halibut and chips. Our server Kyler was very prompt and appropriately attentive. The place was pretty full even for the early supper time when we arrived. The decor of this place definitely tells the tale of being in a fishing town and locale.

Just truly awful clam chowder. Watery, flavorless, mushy potatoes and not a clam to be found. The worst clam chowder I have ever had.

I've eaten in quite a few places on the west coast that claim to serve Irish food and I have always been unsatisfied with the authenticity. So I was very surprised and impressed with the food served at Nana's. My experience started with the ambiance. It truly had the feel of a real Irish Pub. This was followed by the hospitality. Our server was amazing. She had great menu suggestions for the people who were eating with us. They have eaten a wide variety of Irish food. She made an excellent selection as to the Irish beer that would best suit my palate. They have several Irish beers on tap. I chose the Smithwicks Red Ale. It was delicious and very enjoyable. Now for the food. Many years ago I enjoyed Steak & Stout Pie in a Dublin Ireland pub. It was really good. I've had it in several locations here back home but it just wasn't the same. So when I spotted the Steak & Guinness pie it peaked my interest and I ordered it. Well I definitely was not disappointed. More so it was like reliving an old pleasant memory. The Steak & Guinness pie was spot on. Every bit as enjoyable as the one I tried in Dublin. I very highly recommend trying this establishment if you're traveling to or through Newport. You will not regret enjoying the food and the experience.

Guinness on tap. Bangers and mash. Lots of choices to fill a great evening with friends. Casual…read moredining at its best.

The grocery store has a good amount of groceries and sundries, and also some gift items as well. overall, the food was good. I started with the clam chowder. It was a thicker clam chowder, but it was absolutely delicious. Creamy, and they were generous with the ingredients. A very good bowl of chowder. For my main course, I had the combination halibut, king Salmon, and tuna. They were very generous with the portions. The fish was delicious. The halibut and the salmon were tender and juicy. The tuna was just a tiny bit chewier, but it was also very good. The fish was lightly breaded, although a few of the pieces. Were a bit darker than the others. That took away from it just a tiny tiny bit. But overall, successful. The tartar sauce was very good, rich and tangy. Instead of the fries, I finished with the coleslaw. It was not overdressed, and I liked the dressing. It was a sweeter dressing than your standard mayonnaise, but not overly sweet. It was an excellent coleslaw. For all of the quality food I got, the price was very reasonable. I would come back the next time. I'm in town. Thank you!
