The Clam Chowder was the best. The crab and shrimp were wonderful. Had great service and all our needs were met.

If you are looking for "traditional" fried seafood, then this is the place. Great service. Outstanding views of the coast and the stacks from the final scenes of The Goonies. Atmosphere as expected for eating on picnic tables inside a restaurant.

We were out and about and getting quite hungry and Mo's boasted the "best clam chowder" so we gave it a try. We also order the "foot" of onion rings and the shrimp salad on cabbage. I won't say it was the best chowder, but it wasn't bad, the onion ring were good and the salad was good. Fast and... More

When an acclaimed fish place, across from the docks, is empty at 12:30pm, well..."here's your sign" - time to go elsewhere. Clam chowder was disappointing. Clams were tough & chewy, seasoning was bland. Also had fish tacos and fish & chips. Had to argue with the server about not wanting a side dish. Fish tacos were okay, but nothing special.... More

This place has a great reputation, for the chowder anyway. So we visited on the early evening to see if the hype was legit. We waited several minutes, with several servers walking by, before anyone acknowledged us and took us to our table. Another lengthy bit of time before our orders were taken. We ordered, and food came relatively quickly.... More

The clam chowder was outstanding butthe halibut fish and chips had disappointingly small pieces of fish.

The shrimp salad was wonderful. We also tried the clam chowder. It was good, but I would call it bacon chowder. Hardly had any clams. I was disappointed that they didn't have more 'crab' items on their menu. Maybe it was out of season. We visited mid-March. It's a fun place, in a cute little town. Would go again!

I took a visiting family member to Mo's because we had told him how great their food was. In the past it had been fine. When we arrived they were quite busy, it took about ten minutes after being sat to get our drink orders in, but we didn't mind too much because you could tell the two servers on... More

You have to eat here on a trip to the beach, because it's the original Mo's. Pretty much all their food is fried unless you choose a grilled piece of fish. Fish and chips are 11.95 and come with soup or salad. Their clam chowder I quite good. The kids hamburger only comes with meat on it.
