Seafood counter at the store next to the restaurant.
Karen T.

Amazing! We found a new favorite place for fish n chips and fresh seafood next door! We got 3 different meals and shared when we got home. Halibut, cod, clam strips and chowder. I can't tell the difference between the cod and halibut so I usually just order cod. Oh and don't forget to grab salmon candy from the guy behind the counter.

We tried this place and grabbed a few meals before going to watch a Portland Pickles vs. Ridgefield Raptors post season game. We got it to-go and realized we couldn't bring it in the stadium so we grabbed a picnic blanket and ate before going into the park. The halibut/fries are good but are all previously frozen and bit on the pricey side for the size/portion. We also grabbed the shrimp and fries combo and a few salads and crab sandwiches. The crab sandwiches were a hit! We even grabbed an additional order of the patties (solo) to eat with a salad so that some of us didn't have to eat bread. The fresh fish market is right next door so flies are a bit of a problem but overall a great alternative to a ballpark hot dog!

I have nothing bad to say. The halibut was excellent. Not greasy. Not overcooked. Fries were good. They have that somewhat crunchy texture on the outside. Those are my favorite. There's some outside seating there as well as patio, yard area, and inside at 3Peaks tap room. We ordered from the taproom and it was brought to us. I'd say we'll definitely be back.

Bought some smoked black cod

Stopped in for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. Not too busy at the cafe, but when we ordered at the counter they were behind on orders coming from next door (3 Peaks brewery) so they gave us a 30 minute wait time for our food. We agreed since we had just purchased some smoked black cod from the fresh seafood market next door. We also ordered some clam chowder with our two piece halibut fish and chips and they gave us that right away, so that was perfect! Staff is very friendly and helpful in both places. They have plenty of outdoor seating in front of the seafood market and picnic tables in front of the cafe. The smoked fish was really yummy. The clam chowder had great flavor as well; tasted a little cheesy?! I love a thick clam chowder, so it was right up my alley. We were a little disappointed in the halibut fish and chips. The fillets were overcooked, making the breading overly crispy and borderline burnt tasting. The fries were okay, but a bit soggy from the fish fillets laying on top. There were quite a few options in the refrigerator cases in the seafood market we may come back and try. We saw some fish and non fish cheesy dips and pasta salads that looked good. Overall a good first visit. The wait can be long since they also take orders from 3 Peaks next door. If the wait is too long for you, meander into the seafood market for ready to eat options as well as fresh seafood to take home and cook. Would recommend.

Coconut Shrimp and Chips

Been going here for years and this was what I got for coconut shrimp! Are you kidding me it looks like fish sticks! So disappointing for how expensive it is!

I have seen their sign off I-5 for many years and finally had to take the exit on my way back to Portland and give them a try. Oh man! I really shouldn't have waited so long. The fish and chips were so fresh and delicious and they have an amazing finish market with many local area fresh seafood like crab, Shrimp, Scallops and fish like salmon and halibut along with oysters and mussels to name a few. Come get some fresh flavorful seafood here if you get a chance.

This is their fresh seafood melt bread. Yum.

I finally made it up to the spot. It's a little bit of a drive from my house, but I think worth it! The store has so many fresh fish options. It's crazy. Also several kinds of oysters and clams. They do in-house smoked salmon, which is amazing! The store has several condiment options and some cute logo stuff. The employees were super helpful and nice. They answered my questions and were very pleasant. They have a small wine collection that has some good choices as well. So happy to have found this fresh fish place that I definitely will return to .

This was our first time PNWB and boy was it a treat. We preferred online for a quick pickup and go. Once we arrived the parking lot was full. You make your way up a ramp to a pick up window for to-go orders. You quickly notice other activity on the property. I asked the gentlemen who met me at the window what's all the activity about? He let me know that there are three businesses on the property, one owner. There is the cafe that has limited outdoor seating and mainly caters to to-go orders. They also have a seafood market where you can by fresh seafood. On Theo there side of the property they have a full restaurant that serves seafood. The area can get pretty busy, he remarked, when the weather is nice. We ordered two halibut and chip plates. The halibut is lightly battered and definitely moist. They offer one, two and three piece plates. I ordered two and was surprised at how large the pieces were. Plenty for one person when you add the French fries and coleslaw. Perfectly cooked and well seasoned. A yummy experience Reasonably priced... do yourself a favor and stop by and pick some good seafood to-go or stay a while in the restaurant and chill.

First time eating here and it was amazing and great! Loved the fish and chips and mahi mani tacos!

I haven't been able to find a good fish and chips spot out here that has panko breaded fish and not beer battered. Stopped by the other day and was pretty disappointed. The service was not that great. The girl we spoke with seemed like she was in a rush or a hurry and wasn't friendly at all. We stood and waited and a guy ended up taking our order at the window. We got the chicken quesadilla and a 3 piece fish and chips. The quesadilla was tasty and flavorful, but instead of giving you a side of salsa, they add it into the quesadilla, which was fine, but I would still prefer a side of it with no charge because it definitely was not enough salsa in it. The fish and chips looked so delicious but was not worth near $30. I would rather eat at Burgerville and have a 5-piece fish and chips order for less than $30 and much more flavorful and delicious compared to this place. Wasn't impressed at all and don't think I'll be returning any time soon.

2 halibut fish & chips with cole slaw
Chris L.

Family brought us here on a Sunday (for Father's Day) because it's not far from our house and for the rave reviews. They have a store with fresh (uncooked) seafood, and then they have an outdoor area with seating to order lunch/dinner food. They have a nice menu and lots of things I wanted to try. I decided to get the halibut fish & chips, since it's a specialty of theirs, plus a cup of clam chowder. The halibut was great - panko fried and reminded me of a couple fried tuna joints on the coast that I love. The price was steep for what you get, but I don't know of another place in the Portland metro area with something similar. The clam chowder also was good, as was the cole slaw. Others got the cod sandwich (good) and fried clams (good). There's a brewery nextdoor with lots of indoor & outdoor seating, so next time we may go over there with our food plus the dogs. Staff were friendly. I'd come back again.

In-N-Out Burger

If you ask anyone on the West Coast which fast-food joint best represents the soul of California,…read morethe answer is almost always In-N-Out Burger. Founded in 1948, this iconic brand has maintained an extraordinary reputation for decades. It is far more than just a place to grab a quick bite--it is an indispensable symbol of American fast-food culture. In-N-Out's enduring 70+ year legacy stems from its pioneering innovations and unwavering dedication to quality,the founder of the brand even designed and installed the two-way speaker box system, allowing guests to order and receive food without ever leaving their cars Atmosphere & Vibe: Retro, Minimalist & Spotless Stepping into any In-N-Out instantly greets you with its timeless retro charm: Visual Identity: The iconic red-and-white color scheme, the classic yellow arrow logo, and palm tree motifs immediately evoke the sunny California spirit. Space & Cleanliness: Even though location is usually packed--with long queues both inside and at the drive-thru--the open kitchen lets you see everything being prepared from scratch. The dining area is consistently bright, spotless, and efficiently run, making for a reassuring dining experience. Taste & Quality: Freshness Is King In-N-Out's biggest distinction is its ultra-simple menu paired with an almost obsessive commitment to freshness. Double-Double® The undisputed star of the show! It features two 100% pure beef patties, two slices of melted American cheese, crisp lettuce, fresh tomato slices, and their signature Spread, all tucked inside a freshly toasted bun. Flavor & Texture: The beef patties are seared to perfection with crispy edges while remaining juicy inside. The rich savory beef and melted cheese blend seamlessly with the tangy-sweet spread and crisp lettuce, delivering rich layers of flavor with zero greasy feel. Fresh-Cut Fries & Classic Milkshakes Fresh-Cut Fries: In-N-Out insists on using whole, fresh potatoes sliced right in the store. They have a denser texture and pure potato flavor. (Pro tip: If you prefer a crunchier bite, ask for "Fries Well-Done.") Milkshakes: Made with 100% real ice cream, thick and creamy--the ultimate classic pairing for your burger. Service & Efficiency: A Fast-Food Gold Standard Despite perpetual lines wrapping around the building, In-N-Out's service speed and hospitality remain industry-leading: Streamlined Ordering: During peak drive-thru hours, team members walk up to cars with handheld tablets to take orders in advance, drastically cutting down wait times. Professional & Welcoming Staff: Dressed in iconic white shirts, red ties, and paper hats, the staff are consistently polite, energetic, and remarkably accurate--even during the busiest rushes. In-N-Out proved that fast food doesn't have to mean low quality or junk food. By offering restaurant-quality ingredients at remarkably affordable fast-food prices, it established a benchmark for the Fast-Casual quality mindset long before the term existed.

It's an In-n-out so you're getting burgers and fries (of course) but something about their burgers just tastes so good. Love the slight crunch the burgers have and the flavor of it every time we go to any In-N-Out. This was my first one in WA so I can't complain. Just don't assume you'll be in and out right away with the lines but overall a great experience!

I've been wanting to try this place but a couple things stopped me. 1) they don't deliver 2) they…read moredon't have low carb/ cauli crust option. However I recently decided to try them for a cheat day. Called ahead on the drive to have a medium pepperoni. Interesting they have a drive thru window behind the building. Service was easy and friendly enough. Pizza smelled great. Pretty standard size. Visually no complaints. I've seen others complain about burnt crust (that's literally what a real pizza oven does lol). Anyway, it tasted good. Kind of an average experience. Not truly lacking, not phenomenal. Despite being regular gluten I didn't feel bloated/sick eating it. I would definitely consider ordering again. My issue is the price though. Most pizza spots have specials. You literally have dominos across the street selling 2 large pizzas for like $10-15. A medium pepperoni was almost $30. That seems like what a large or XL should be for a pepperoni or combo pizza. I like that it was semi convenient that they have a drive through and you can pick it up after running errands and such. But for $30 I'd rather have a pizza delivered. MODS pizza down the road would be pizza and salad combo for the same price. Idk. If they considered a weekday special or something it might make us order more often. For now I'm glad I tried it to know what is offered to support local spots. But definitely not my go-to due to cost and lacking cauli options.

We stopped by the Ridgefield location around 7:30 PM, seeing online that they were open until 9:00…read morePM. Even though the dining room was full, the employee told us they were closing the lobby at 8:00 PM, so we had to quickly switch our $40 medium taco pizza order to-go. On top of the rushed experience, and mismatched hours, I had specifically asked for tomatoes on the side. When we got all the way home to Woodland, the pizza was covered in tomatoes. My husband grabbed the pizza while I was in the car, and I didn't know he'd forgot to check. When I called to explain that we live in Woodland and couldn't just drive all the way back tonight, the staff offered only a same-night remake. When I asked for a raincheck for a future visit or a corporate contact number, I was told "no" and that they wouldn't provide the number. Spending as much as we did on an incorrect custom order, being rushed out, and getting a total "tough luck" attitude when living 20+ minutes away is unacceptable. Absolutely terrible customer service. We won't be returning.

Help yourself to water. Perfect. Speaking of perfection, my oysters and chips were among the best I've ever eaten. I had asked if they were local, and was assured that these small morsels of joy were from Washington. The portion of sea gems was huge (15-20?). Perfectly battered and nestled on crispy fries. I love it when your first bites singe your tongue, reminding you that your meal is fresh! I'm not a fan of coleslaw, but Brigham's was better than most. Speaking of most, the Brigham crew was the most friendly and kept checking with each table to see how we were doing, without being intrusive. Kudos to two of the crew who handled a very demanding table next to me, BTW. This is a solid recommendation for anyone who wants a variety of fresh seafood and a wonderful ambiance to enjoy it in.
