We came here for dinner during our family vacation at Rockaway beach and enjoyed our meal and the beachy summer vibes. The inside was big and open but we opted for the shady outdoor table with our 2 kids and a dog on a lovely summer night. The outdoor seating was wrapped around in an L shape so some spots were sunny as well if you wanted to soak up more sun. So many beer on tap to choose from but they do have pairing recommendations on the menu. You can't go wrong with any IPA with a burger and fish and chips. You order at the counter and the busy but friendly staff will bring out your food. The outside also had a water cooler for people and colorful bowls for dogs. Our food came out hot and fresh, the fries were crispy and the fish plenty juicy. I didn't care for the pineapple slaw but the tartar sauce was on point. I believe that Pelican Brewing is an Oregon gem and a must-visit on the Oregon coast! (Any location!) read more

Had to visit this new brewery in Rockaway on our Rockaway beach vacation. It was bustling when we arrived for lunch. They don't have many options for a party of 6 plus baby. In fact, I only saw one table in and one table outside big enough. But we were lucky enough to arrive as a party of 8 were leaving. Ordering is done at the bar, and there was a line to order. The menu is a little different than other Pelicans, but still had some good options. I had the fish and chips and my wife had the fish tacos. They seemed to be just the fish and chips cut up to fit into tacos covered with some salsa. She seemed to enjoy them and my fish was OK. I would go back but probably would either get a burger or the fish tacos next time. read more

On our first night in Rockaway Beach, our friends took us to Pelican Brewing. Great location, food, beverages, service and its pet friendly. I ordered the Grilled Mahi Mahi entrée with a beer flight. Delicious!!! read more

Wow! Pelican Brewing in Rockaway?! We have been to one before and very impressed with their beer and food. New establishment, staff was friendly and helpful in ordering and description of food on menu. We found out that Tuesday's in February are all day Happy Hour. Yay! We were told servings were small plates. Man when our food came, our eyes amazed in the generous portions for Happy Hour. We ordered the Nachos, Brewers Burger, Kale Salad, Fish and Chips, with of course beer. Atmosphere and food was great. Recommend stopping for a bite to eat. read more

Happy hour Sunday-Thursday with $5 of their delicious flagship beers such as kiwanda cream ale and $6 for the double beak breaker. The chowder was rich creamy and flavorful, service was amazing and the vibe was just great. Good times by all. read more

Another great location! So happy they opened this location recently in Rockaway Beach. This area could use more restaurant options, and Pelican Brewing is a perfect choice. The only drawback is the parking situation. They do have a small lot, but everything else around there is street parking. There's plenty of seating inside, including an upstairs area. They offer a nice variety of food and drink options. They offer beers on tap, and cans for purchase to takeaway. Our group ordered burgers, tuna melt and fish & chips. We all enjoyed the fries; nice and crispy on the outside. Everyone enjoyed their food as well. They offered a nice portion for the money. We also ordered the cheese curds and brussel sprouts. Both were delicious! Staff is super friendly, helpful and attentive. You order at the counter and they give you a buzzer to let you know when your food is ready. The front area where you order is pretty small and can get congested. Overall we were very happy with our visit. We're just so happy to have another food option in this area. Highly recommend. read more

I love that we can walk here! It's clean, modern and homey. Nice staff. Food and brews were decent. The fig and bacon was the hit! It's really loud in here, bring your earplugs. read more

Beak Breaker Hazy IPA was delicious. Took one home. Sadly the only food I got a pic of was the cheese curds. They were good. Crispy on the outside. Not as melty on the inside as I would've liked. The ranch they gave with the curds was really good. Lots of dill in it. We ordered the fish and chips. Fish was good. Could've been better. It was overcooked. Fries were good. Asked for another cup of ranch. Guy just pointed me to the premade cups below the counter. Nice deck outside. Order your beer. They pour and give it to you the. Order food you get a buzzer. Pick it up yourself. Bus your own table. read more

we had lunch here outside last wk, and saw all the changes since pelican moved in....last yr we watched them work on opening it, since it was another business yrs ago.....i had a can of beach lager, and my partner had the stout......we each had the grilled blackened mahi mahi with salad.....the beer was excellent on a warm day.....the food was superb too....the blackenend mahi mahi was just a little too spicy, but we worked around it....the inside and outside looks fabulous....it's very relaxing people watching outside with a refreshing beer on vacation...the staff is real nice too....thx so much.... read more

I really enjoy the food here, clam chowder and poke bowl is really good. Employees are nice and friendly as well! I always order take out and they are fast! read more

Super cute little brewery tucked away in Rockaway. Definitely a little pricey but so is everything now a days.

Got to town a little later in the evening and needed something to go. The woman who took the order was super nice and helpful. Got the burger and the harvest salad. Both were good for your basic bar food. If you're staying in the area it's a good option. read more

A small gem in Rockaway Beach that's absolutely worth the drive to the coast. The food was exceptional and the service truly outstanding. Compliments to the chef for a beautifully prepared lunch. The fig and bacon burger was delicious, and the pelican fish and chips was fabulous. Portions were just right for us. We'll definitely be back! read more

It looks really nice definitely a new building, their serving style is a little unique definitely not a place I'd tip at. Fish and chips were dry and frozen tasting, clam chowder was disappointing. read more

Really cool place. You order at the front and take a buzzer to your table to wait for your food. I went with a beer and a burger and both were delicious. read more

Had the fish tacos with sweet potato fries mmmmmmmmm They now have table service instead of ordering at the bar. Service was great! Ambiance is awesome love this place The only thing I wish was different is my favorite server Teresa isn't there any more read more

We had a great time here, the kids that work here are extremely friendly and knowledgeable, they helped build up the overall experience, the food was really good as well! read more

First of all you have to get your own water for your table. Don't bother asking. They forgot to bring my beer as ordered and no tartar sauce for my fish and chips. Their was one paltry napkin. We also had to ask for our silverware. When the food arrived, my french fries were cold. One piece of fish was cut in half for whatever reason. The waitress never came back or asked us if we needed anything. The staff seemed to be having a good time behind the counter and seemed more concerned about their own well-being instead of any formal customer service. Will bypass this establishment travelin' through Rockaway Beach and buy their overpriced beer at a supermarket instead. read more

Pretty terrible service. No communication so I had no idea I was supposed to pick up my drink instead of having it served to my table. Also ordered food and sat at a table. Was waiting for a while and finally went inside to see if I also needed to serve myself my food, as well. It was just sitting on the counter but no one told me when ordering that I would need to come back and grab it. Very strange and by the time I got to my food it was cold. What the heck. read more

Eat here if you want cold food, poor service, and the expectation of 22% tip for counter service.

If you're just looking for a cold beer and a tasty burger to wind down your day, go here. We had a dog with us so sat outside on the deck, which is conveniently located on the East side of the building so you're somewhat protected from the wind coming in off the ocean (although it also means you don't get the view but we'd been looking at the ocean all day by then anyway). Service was good, food was good, portion sizes were good (not huge, but enough for sure). read more

Good Food. Bad Service. Once was good. No Need to return, for a 2nd visit when there are other options literally across the street

SKIP this location & go to the Pacific City one instead. We loved that location a few years back on our trip to the coast, so we tried this one out in Rockaway Beach. This location is order and pay at the counter style and then they bring food to your table. We waited exactly 45 minutes until I went inside to see where our appetizer was (cheese curds which should have been out well before 45 mins). When I asked the employee at the counter VERY politely if we could get an update on the food he dismissed me and said they have everyone running food they can. Then, I heard the employee expoing tell the person I asked we had already got it. He brings out the burger (which wasn't even going to our table, just gave it to us since we complained) and it was charred. Fries cold but at this point we were starving and in too deep to leave. Cheese curds eventually came out and they were good! Probably the only highlight of the whole experience. I didn't receive any apology for the wait. Then I went inside for more ranch and the person at the counter SENT me to the expo window to get it. Absolutely bizarre. The 2 girls running food/ expoing at the window were extremely rude and made me feel like I shouldn't be there. When we left there were so many others looking upset that their food was taking an hour +. I've worked food service and at a restaurant with similar order at the counter style and this was just absolutely unbelievable . Save your time and MONEY because this place is definitely pricey and go drive an hour south to Pacific Beach. I'm not sure why the owners don't give a crap about this location but definitely wouldn't go back. The outdoor patio isn't the best either (and PC location is better). Oh and the bathroom didn't even have soap which concerns me on if the employees wash their hands?! read more

Do not tip here. You order standing up. You get your own drink and then you have to get your own food. Zero service to tip for. Fast food style service. read more

The best! Teresa is amazing along with the rest of their staff. Went for happy hour almost every day of the week! Right by the beach with a cool atmosphere. read more

Was expecting more. We only had food and not beer so limited in the review to food and service only. You walk in and immediately search the menu board and order at the bar. Once we order and pay we are given a vibrating pager to let us know when to come back up for our food. We were directed to where to get our own water, and seated ourselves. Of course they still have a place to leave a tip on the Credit Card slip and a tip jar. Where is the service that I'm tipping on? I did all the work except cook the food. Do we start tipping at McDonald's as well? Same amount of service provided. We got 2 orders of fish and chips for $19 each. Fish was OK, not great. Super crispy panko style not traditional batter. Fries were warm not hot, and coleslaw was a tiny cup with two bits worth. Overall just ok. Probably should have gone to the smokehouse but we were looking for a little more ambiance. Lighting was extremely bright as well. Not the best atmosphere for a relaxing dinner. read more

Good location. Order at the counter. No vegan options at all, so got a couple of beers and then bounced.

I love pelican brewing in Canon Beach so I was stoked to try this taproom... I wish I hadn't. Customer service when ordering was great, the gentleman at the front was kind and helpful. The space is clean and obviously new. Unfortunately customer service failed after this first interaction. We waited over 20 minutes after all of our apps and 2/3 of our food had been delivered to ask about our missing entree. We understand sometimes things are missed or a piece needs to get re-fired. The food runner didn't make sure we had everything. We went up to ask for silverware and were treated like we just told them to run a mile... we asked about the missing entree and they just looked confused then it hit the table 7-10 minutes later... the burger was ice cold and fries were obviously just out of the fryer. No apologies for the late food or any check in from someone. We asked for to go boxes and were pointed to a stack with obvious annoyance from the employee. I hate complaining but we spent over $150 and received worse service than a fast food or dive bar. Save yourself money and disappointment, just drive to the Canon Beach taproom or choose another place in Rockaway to eat. read more

Felt like a fast food environment- Had to order at the counter, and all the food came out cold. Definitely, not a good sit down dining experience like the other Pelican breweries we have been too. read more

Food is great. It's a nice small prefer at the counter brewery that specializes in fish and chips and burgers. Prices are good considering it's in a beach town. Will come back again. read more

Came in on a slow Monday evening in early May--server/bartender said that usual deal was ordering at the bar, but since it was slow he'd seat us and take our order. Very friendly and good-looking place. Ordered fish-and-chips and a cup (huge) of clam chowder. The chowder was the usual thick melange of potatoes and clams, a little too salty, but OK. Well-seasoned fries and fish. Not bad. read more

Very good beer. Had the nachos, very good. Cool atmosphere. Very good service. We will be back read more

Cider and fish and chips at happy hour. I loved that I could get a mini fish and chips during happy hour as I was just looking for a small bite to eat. Decent crowd on a Wednesday night. Staff were super nice. read more

Great food, everything that can be made gluten free is clearly marked. Had a burger with a gf bun and it was really satisfying. They have housemade craft sodas for those who don't drink alcohol. The place is bright, clean and the staff is friendly. You have to order at the counter, which is totally fine! Lots of seating. read more

Delicious food and great drinks! Went while visiting from SoCal. It was pretty busy, but we managed to snag a table. I got the fish sandwich and house cider. Perfect end to a gorgeous day on the Oregon Coast. read more

Making a reservation is unreliable. Made and confirmed a reservation for 5 and then was told it was not made. This was the second day trying as well. The first time they didn't want to see us because they had no tables, the second time they declined our reservation even thought it was called in hours before. read more

Food was OK. I ordered fish and chips; my husband ordered the bleu burger. No complaints. A little spendy for what we got, but whatever. But what really irritated me is that the tray they stacked my food on was SO tiny -- literally about 4" x 6". The second that I set it down on the table -- (yes, you do have to pick up your food; they buzz you when it's ready) -- a piece of fish slid off and landed on the table. Yuck. I couldn't get to the fries without eating the fish first, because it was all stacked up on top of each other to fit onto the tiny tray. I'm really sorry that I didn't get a photo; it was pretty ridiculous. I complained to one of the employees; he said he was sorry, but didn't offer to replace the piece of fish that landed on the table. I ended up picking the fish out of the fried katsu coating, so it was probably actually healthier, but I would have preferred to have had the option of eating all three pieces of fish, coating intact, instead of feeling like a third of my $18.99 meal was contaminated. read more
