Prices were high (I spent $20 on a 3 piece cod) albeit the quality softened that blow. I've already spread the word. This gem of a spot needs a visit. Right along the river as the name implies. Batter was right where it needed to be. Oh do I wish I could go back. Some fish n chip spots mess with the formula. I'm no specialist but when it comes to FnC it seems only few spots know how to get the batter right without drying out the fish. If you're in the Nehalem area you gotta try it.

Sounds like fun and tasty so we left early on Saturday morning. We splashed in and played for a few hours. After getting out of the water we walked to the food cart restaurant on the bank of Nehalem river. When we walked up there was a sign "Waiting Time One Hour". Ok! It's a three day warm winter weekend so many people headed to the coast. We ordered beer and chatted away the time. This is a good food cart, outside seating on the river on the sunny day. The cart is associated.with the roadside store in the downtown. The back of the store has a covered deck with tables in case it rains. Prices are high, for three piece halibut with a dab of coleslaw and overcook cold french fries was $32. My friend had the three-piece cod for $26ish. My friend really wanted to try this place and she enjoyed the cod. I, on the other hand, have had better with Moore sloth and fries at other places on the coast., But you're here, right. You're on a mini vacation, just enjoy the warm winter day and nice food.

Two lattes and a raspberry filled donut here this morning. Nice location just a few steps from the…read morebeach -- we stopped in for a bite during our morning beach walk. No indoor seating, and just a few benches outside, which get filled quickly during prime time. The folks behind the counter are very cheery and helpful. Small selection of fresh pastries - the donut was really good with a generous amount of raspberry filling. I had one of the specialty lattes which had raspberry and chocolate flavor -- it was good, but pretty sweet. My wife had a regular latte which she said was excellent. Nice spot for a quick break, but not someplace you go with your laptop for some wireless work.

However, this weekend, every drink I've ordered has felt very lightweight and there's about an inch of drink missing from the top of the cup. Not a huge deal but kind of irritating when you're paying $6 per latte. I don't know what was wrong with today's drinks... there was a line out the door and the workers were flustered so I want to give the benefit of the doubt but the drinks are undrinkable. Both hot lattes taste like burned, sour milk. Very disappointed and debating whether or not it's worth the drive back into town to replace them.

She could learn how to smile....even fake smile...talk about feeling like we were inconveniencing her by buying snacks since all 2 restaurants in that "Hills have eyes" town were closed. As we drove down the road, my daughter decided to look up google reviews on the business and all the reviews speak about that old blonde witch behind the counter. She had us laughing down the road for miles because everything everyone wrote was pretty much everything we experienced w her lmao. How the owner doesn't know that or see it is beyond me( I wonder if he/she reads their reviews?)....then again, maybe she is the owner? either way,if you decide to visit just be prepared......I know I would have approached it differently had I known Anyway.....The service sucked. The employees attitude sucked. The store looked run down. The "Bean & Cheese" burritos that turned out to be BBQ burritos SUCKED!(so gross!) Seriously, not ONE good quality about this store. It'll save you if you're dying of thirst but just know you'll have those judging old wrinkly eyes staring you down the whole time to make you feel like you're an inconvenience lol
