This restaurant was disappointing. The food is ok. I was expecting fresh local seafood being on the coast. The clam chowder seemed like a mix or made with a watered down base. Definitely not made from a real cream base. The fish tasted frozen not...fresh.More

We walked in for a lunch and asked if we could sit outside the patio. The hostess lady took us there and there was only one cleaned table in the sunny area( it was a very warm 78 degree day) and there was a table...in the shaded area but it was not cleaned up yet and they were definitely understaffed here which is normal these days. So instead of keeping us waiting she took action and cleaned the table for us. We sat and waited for the server for a while to notice us( again, she was the only one waiting on many tables at a busy lunch time) which was understandable and we were in no rush. My wife ordered Shrimp Louie Salad, me a Cod Sandwich and Onion Rings. The food portions were huge and very tasty, but my cod sandwich was soggy but okay. The view from the terrace is great looking down on the sandy Cannon Beach.More

We had fish and chips. The food was just average. The restaurant was very cold, and the ceiling fans were going. The people working here were all very pleasant.

We drove right to Mo’s at lunch time. We had lunch right on Cannon Beach overlooking Haystack Rock. Mo’s Seafood & Chowder has several locations this one has to be the one with the best view. It’s not as cute as the little downtown places...and the food is the usual fried fish variety. But, for our few hours at the beach it worked for us. We parked in their lot and they said we could park there as we walked the beach. Service was good and prices were as expected. We tried the Shrimp Artichoke Dip $13.95 and thought it was good. My wife ordered the Shrimp Skewer Appetizer with Garlic Butter $12.95, it was just okay. I had the Shrimp Salad Sandwich $13.95. I opted for the cup of Clam Chowder, which made the famous, as my side. The Chowder was really tasty. right into Mo’s at lunch time. We had lunch right on Cannon Beach overlooking Haystack Rock.

I would go to Finns! They have way better food. Service is ok, clam chowder was good. Fish tacos were good, over priced.

Fried, fried, fried. Too greasy but great location. Service was helpful. Shrimp was tasteless. Try the grilled fish tacos.

Sadly our service the last few times we have came to MO’s hasn’t been good. Tonight was no different, in fact worse. The host that greeted us had quite the attitude and made us feel like an inconvenience for coming in. His behavior was honestly...unacceptable. He continued to do this with other guests and was called out for it by another gentleman who came in. We only saw our server when we ordered and when he brought our food, and not again til finally we flagged him down for our ticket. They whole atmosphere seemed off and customer service was at an all time low.More

Very disappointing. We chose to sit outdoors to get the great ocean view. Unfortunately the wait staff seemed to forget about the outdoor patrons. Several times we had to inquire why it was taking so long. Food that we ordered (burgers and fish) was okay,...but the bad service made it seem worse. Suggestion: if you go to this restaurant, sit inside.More

We only make it to the coast once a year. We chose Cannon Beach and Mo's Restaurant this year. Cannon Beach is fine, but the lunch we had at Mo's was a disappointment. My daughter and grandkids actually had an ok meal, but I couldn't...wait to get some clam strips. OMG - are you kidding me? Those were NOT clam strips. Seriously, only two or three of the pieces were about an inch long and had a piece of clam in it. The rest, I felt were the left over crunches from the deep fryer. Sorry Mo's, I won't be back. For those prices, I think you should be ashamed to call that clam strips because they clearly were not. No, I didn't complain at the restaurant. I did not want my daughter and grandkids embarrassed. My mistake.More

We went here twice while on vacation. The first time I got the salmon and it was delicious. It was so good we came back again so my mother in law could get it. The second night I had a sandwich that was good, not...excellent like the salmon had been. Nice atmosphere and it looks out on the ocean.More

We arrived very hungry after a long travel day. The food was delicious. We had chowder in a bread bowl and the clams in a white wine sauce. Yummy. The waitress kept the coffee fresh and cups full. The scenery-breathtaking. It is right on the...ocean in view of the haystacks. Lovely meal.More

Went here for lunch with family. Luckily we beat the lunch rush and got seated pretty quickly. Service and food was good. The fish sandwich, fish tacos and shrimp skewers were excellent. Thought the fish and chips breading could’ve been better. we definitely recommend.

The food was bland. I did not finish eating my meal. The strawberry lemonade here is actually lemonade with added strawberries and just tasted like lemonade. I would suggest dining somewhere at Seaside which was far better and the cost about the same.

Mo’s is always great but since they upgraded the outside eating area it is terrific. It was a beautiful sunny day, had some local beer and a great lunch that we shared.

Ditto the other responses. This place is all about the seafood and the sunset views. Chowder is tremendous.

I can't answer your question directly either, but I can say that they were very accommodating to a person in our party with extreme food allergies.
