Shrimp po boy was decent in general however the lettuce was old and I ended up pulling off most of that. It would be nice to have the fries crispy as well. I may give these guys another chance, but this is my first time here and last time I came from out-of-the-way and they were closed even though it showed they were open. read more

Who knew a little food truck in Astoria can make me feel like the food gave me a warm hug or a giant scarf wrapped around my brain... idek if it makes sense. It's all positive!! Great and fast service. Huge portions. Mac had depth to the flavors... chicken was juicy and flavorful. Waffles were fresh and savory.

Hands down.. this place! We walked over and from our hotel where I got a order of the Apple Cinnamon butter hush puppies and a Shrimp Po Boy! Pricing my feel steep at first but it's not once you see the portions! I ate on both of these for two meals! Po Boy was well seasoned, came with lots of shrimp, and was well done. Fries that came with it were homemade and amazing. Now hands down star of the show is the hush puppies. That butter is to die for! Just order them. You will be impressed. The gentleman working was great! He was kind, quick and friendly. Honestly next we come through I will be stopping by again! read more

Damn! Damn! Daaaaamn! This was SO GOOD! My husband and I shared the Mac & Cheese. The portion was a large one (perfect for sharing) but now we're thinking of all the goodness we had to pass up on the menu! The Po' Boy for one. Anyway, I digress so back to the Mac. The fried chicken was cooked to perfection - just enough tasty batter and crunch to the moist chicken. The green onions (optional) were a nice flavorful touch to an already perfect mac. The owner was kind and definitely took care in creating the food experience. Seriously, this is a "must stop." read more

I feel bad doing 3 stars compared to all the great reviews but my fries were not crunchy and I thought the po boy lacked acidity. The shrimp in the grits and po boy were cooked perfectly. The grits weren't my favorite texture wise but the flavor was great. Just overall I had an okay taste adventure. I am the odd ball for the reviews but I have had much better in the south when I visit my family. Staff is friendly. It's worth trying and creating your own opinion on the food. I agree with everyone that the portions are very generous. read more

BEASTED! Holy Moly, this food truck was so insanely good. The man who runs the pizza shop in the same lot recommended it as we were taking shelter from the rain in his shop. We got the Mac and Cheese and Shrimp Po Boy. Each were around $17 which I thought was a little steep but the portions we got were HUGE so definitely worth it. The guys who ran the truck were so nice. We were ravenous so I was pleasantly surprised when my meal also came with fries and extra shrimp. I do wish the batter for the shrimp has been seasoned a little stronger but aside from that this place is a great pick. The rain put a bit of a damper on things since it is outside, but we did not let that stop us from trying this spot! Love their sign too. read more

I gotta tell you the price was a bit higher than I wanted to spend for a quick lunch but this lady flashed her lunch box to show her friend what she got and I caught just a glimpse and was all in! The sandwich was excellent, great taste and interesting flavors from the crispy pickles. The shrimp was awesome, not too crispy or over breaded and plenty of it! Jim was my cashier and he was amusing and quick! Jordan the owner and I chatted and I was impressed that he has been there for a very resilient 6 years! Well done!

Food made with love and passion. Food recap: Which came first - savory waffle - chive and bacon. Crispy seasoned fried chicken. Pimento cheese - warm ooey gooey. Dip it in syrup - put a lil hot sauce on it. Fries were EXCELLENT. Fried pickles - savory with a hint of sweet. Paired great with the aioli. Super thin. Crispy. Stacked Mac - perfectly fried chicken, well seasoned, crispy! Mac and cheese - Creamy, smooth, great consistency, perfectly seasoned. Peach cobbler - Perfectly sweet, peaches weren't over cooked, the crumb was delicious and complimented the sauce very well. If I wasn't so full I would have gotten everything on the menu. Will return without a doubt. Chef gave off old soul vibes and truly has something special going on here! This spot is a must. read more

Both the food and the service are top-notch. I tried the Red Bean and Rice Burger, and it was downright delicious. The only thing bigger than the portions is the flavor.

I am so happy I finally tried this place! I've been craving macaroni and cheese idont know why I never ate it growing up but I was on the hunt to find some. I ordered through Surpalicious (great service by the way) and my food came hot and fresh. Macaroni is bomb! Enough to feed 2 or 3 people for sure. The chicken is so juicy its just perfect! Now for someone who doesn't eat pickle I'm surprised my anxious self ordered fried pickle. I love shrimp but it was one or the other and I know shrimp is great so I thought I'd try the pickle. It's yummy!! If I had someone here to share with it'll be perfect side to eat with. Cajun is a little spicy for me but the aioli is delicious! Nice kick to compliment the pickles. I will be back and back again! I'm so down to try everything in the menu! read more

Ordered the fried pickle chips and chicken Mac n cheese. Fried pickle chips were a huge portion. Excellent flavor and the dipping sauce was good too. There was a bit of oil underneath and probably could've been drained another 10 seconds longer. They were clearly made to order, very hot and fresh. The chicken Mac n cheese was excellent. Used a few types of cheese, flavored nicely, pasta cooked perfectly. Chicken was hot and crispy. Not greasy at all. Everything was priced fairly and the guy working the trailer was very friendly and you could tell he was passionate about his food. Didn't know it was a trailer until I showed up. It's in a parking lot with other food trailers. This particular one isn't trying too hard unlike some of the other hipster trailers there. So don't let the bare outside look fool you. It's great food. read more

Most importantly, the food is delicious and I can't make it at home. And not just because I don't have a fryer. However, the part that made me extra happy was when I brought leftovers home to my extended family's beach rental, my brother snarfed down the generous serving of leftover cold French fries (despite my my numerous offers to reheat them in the oven) and ditto for my mom with the leftover Mac and cheese which she declared to be up there with the best. Even cold. Food is good. The fella working there was lovely, the servings extremely generous and my 84 year old mom loved my left overs. What more could I ask for? read more

Was in town for a weekend get-away and was searching for a veggie burger that was homemade with…read moregood/nutritious ingredients (quinoa, black bean etc). Found Fort George right down the street from our hotel and they had a black bean burger on the menu (whooo!) Headed over for a late lunch/early dinner at 3 pm. You can choose from the wood fired pizza section upstairs (I believe they take reservations) or the pub downstairs (first come first serve) which has a few indoor tables, some semi-outdoor tables that are well covered with a roof and glass sides, or a fully outdoor beer garden with covered and un-covered picnic tables. You order at the counter and then pick your table, they'll drop off the food to you. We opted for the black bean veggie burger which came with pepper jack cheese, guac, some Aioli, and a side of fries. It was very good and exactly what we were craving. They did have a vegan chicken sandwich that looked good but instead I went with a side salad with poppy seed dressing. The salad was fresh and so delicious and the dressing was perfection! Also did a side of hummus and veggies. The hummus wasn't fresh/home made, rather it was from a local place (I believe) and was pretty good. We didn't have their beer but they did have a large selection with varying ABVs and types (the fresh hop IPAs looked extra good); however we didn't see any non-alcoholic options when we looked. We had the ice tea which was fine as well as a Lüp, which was a sparkling hop water, it was pretty good. They also have a gift shop with shirts, hats, beers, and more. They had four (!!!) different types of aged barleywines - we regret not getting some to bring back home. Everyone working was also welcoming, friendly, and helpful when I had a few questions about the menu. Would recommend and we'll come back the next time we're in town !

They have 2 floors, a bar on each floor, an outdoor courtyard area, and a barn area in the back with two bars and a stage. We caught a live show and thoroughly enjoyed it before driving back home to Seattle. We also hung out in the courtyard, enjoying the large caged wood fireplace, before heading to the barn for the live show. The service was excellent, maybe because they weren't too busy that day, and we entered upstairs, not downstairs, since street parking wraps around the building and, depending on where you park, you'll enter at different parts of the brewery/restaurant/warehouse. We were seated right away and got seats near the windows to enjoy the sunset. We ordered: Shrimpy Bread-this was tasty, but the teeny tiny frozen shrimp they use were not it. I'm thinking even normal-sized shrimp chopped up really small would have been tastier, but also, if you live for that shrimp flavor, this will be your jam. For me, the lemon flavor stood out, and combined with the cheese, it made it so worth it. Yum. Wood-fired pizza-half almighty and half carousel - this was omg, chef's kiss, perfect to share between the two of us. If we lived in Astoria, we could see ourselves coming in for this combo to take home. Really liked the decor. It felt very brew house, with wood throughout and lots of windows for ocean and neighborhood views from up on the hill. Also noticed folks from all walks of life here, families, couples, tourists, locals. It was a nice, casual vibe. We'll be back next time we're in the area :)

The indoor seating is in an old greenhouse, which gives the whole place a quirky, laid-back coastal feel. Best of all, they're dog friendly!

The French fries (aka British for chips) in my Fried Scallop Full Order basket were cooked just right & plentiful. The scallops were plump and mouth watering! Fresh Coleslaw tasted like it was made that day too. My lunch time desire for seafood made me order a cup of their creamy Clam chowder. Every spoon full had a piece of yummy clam and potatoes were cooked perfectly as well. Because we had driven leisurely to Astoria from Portland Oregon, my appetite was huge. So I ordered their Onion Rings and they were fried to perfection. The order taker, food runners and any staff we encountered, were super courteous and attentive to our requests & first time dining questions. The outdoor setting is massive, fully covered for many tables and super clean. Am so looking forward to returning very soon to Ship Out Fish & Chips to eat their delectable seafood

I spotted Rusty Cup Cafe while driving down the main street and decided to stop in--and I'm so glad I did. They had Wi-Fi, which allowed me to get some work done, and I ordered an espresso while I was there. It was excellent! The shots were clearly pulled perfectly, with no bitter or overly acidic taste. The espresso was incredibly smooth, rich, and flavorful. It was so good that as soon as I finished it, I ordered another one. The space is fairly small, so seating is limited, but the quality of the coffee more than makes up for it. The atmosphere has an industrial-modern, no-frills feel. Rusty Cup Cafe is clearly a business that is focused on making exceptional coffee--and it absolutely shows. I will definitely stop here again the next time I'm in Astoria!

It was one of the prettiest places I think I'd ever been to and while I was there, I definitely needed to try the brewery scene. I chose this brewery because it was close to the water and had a patio and because the weather was nice out, that was the perfect choice. It was crowded but not too crowded and we were able to get a spot on the patio overlooking the water. I tried an absolutely amazing cider and got an open-faced tuna salad sandwich which was also quite delicious. The staff were very kind and made recommendations both for food and drinks and were very easy to talk to. If I lived in the area, I would probably be there every weekend. Honestly. Nice time.

Very popular since most of the onsite seating were occupied (6/20/25). No surprise after glancing at their menu, easily I could gravitate towards several of their sandwiches. Lots of merch and deli items are also available to select from. I ended up ordering a half pound of proscuitto (0.52 lb for $17.67). This was carefully sliced thin, packaged, and wrapped carefully, which was duly noted and greatly appreciated. We paused at window counter seats and had to sample the purchase before departing. Absolutely delicious! Helped elevate a meal the next day too. I may have to return to indulge in one of their Italian sandwiches. Update: we did return to dine onsite at the same window counter seats (6/22/25). The Homie had the Hot Meatball ($14). Meaty with zesty sauce. I had the Salami Panini ($12), which reminded me of a fave Italian panini at Irwin's Bakery & Cafe in Seattle. Both were fantastic, hit the spot, clean plate club worthy, and definitely no takeout boxes needed! Gaetano's Market & Deli, a terrific find in Astoria!

I got the stacked mac and cheese, apple hush puppies, and the first fried pickles I've ever tried. I could cry about how happy this food is making me. The servings are incredibly generous. The hush puppies are perfect. Super moist, perfectly crispy crunchy on the outside, the right amount of sweet with the honey butter. The mac and cheese is super creamy and well seasoned and the fried chicken and the green onions! It's so good. And to top it off it turns out fried pickles are incredible. I was having a rough week and it was lovely to chat with Jordan, who runs Surf 2 Soul. This food and that experience made me feel taken care of in the best way. I may need to find a way to move closer to this food truck. read more
