    Bought some smoked black cod
    Lori H.

    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.

    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 .

    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

    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.

    On our way through to the PNW, We stopped at a little fish market hoping to find a hidden gem to eat at for our future travels.. while this place was SUPER cute, we didn't really think the food was that good. We know it's fresh and we know it's caught and cooked onsite, but the fried fish we fish was flavorless. We ordered salmon and chips, halibut and chips, chicken strips and clam chowder. The clam chowder was very very gloppy and we probably wouldn't order again. I wish there were salt packets available because that would have make the fish better in my opinion. I wouldn't get there chicken strips again. As far as the service goes- it was great. The space was big, lots of room and great beer/ wine/ cool trinket offerings. If you are looking for some local fish, you can definitely come here. Maybe our experience was a fluke, who knows!

    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.

    I was meeting family in Ridgefield and came across this spot in my search. Located in a business…read morecomplex, it has ample parking and offers both indoor and outdoor seating. Inside its spread out, so even if it were busy, I don't think it would be overly loud. We arrived on Sunday just as they were switching from brunch to lunch and were promptly seated. Our waitress was attentive throughout our time there and explained their daily specials. Our table all opted for the daily special, which was a smash burger with fries for $10. I inquired if I could sub out for a veggie patty and the waitress said it was not an issue. Our food arrived within 15 minutes and everyone enjoyed the burgers. They were all topped with a delicious deep fried pickle chip, however I do wish they would have put actual pickles on the burgers. Otherwise, they were delicious! The veggie burger appeared to be homemade or at least higher quality as you could see the oats in the patty. The beef burgers were all thinly smashed and had the crispy edges you expect from a smash burger. Although they have a full bar, none of our table opted for a cocktail. This is definitely a good spot for a family meal or a brunch with friends.

    Probably the biggest smash burger I've had. We walked in super hungry after seeing several burger…read morephotos on Yelp, and the smash burger truly didn't disappoint. It was big, flavorful, and definitely hit the spot. The chicken wings, however, were a bit of a letdown. They tasted dry and didn't seem very fresh. On the positive side, the fries that came with the burger were good and complemented the meal well. Overall, great ambience and service, and the smash burger alone makes it worth the visit.

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.
