After reading Michael's review of the life changing crab melt, we decided we needed to consider the direction our... lives were going and redirect ourselves to the Old Oregon Smoke House. Two crab melts, four cups of chowder and three fish and chips later, our bellies were satisfied, our tastebuds in bliss, our lives changed. Will definitely come again. The Cole slaw was great, the chowder creamy, the fish delicious and the service was friendly.read more

The smoked salmon and clam chowder were so tasty. The staff was a little disorganized because of how many call in... orders they had, but we got our food shortly after ordering. It's definitely a hole-in-the-wall, but the food was excellent and the prices were decent.read more

Had lunch here on the way down the coast and it was absolutely fabulous. Homemade french fries, homemade tartar sauce &... homemade thousand island for dipping. The oysters and the cod were divine. Definitely the best fish and chips in the area. Well worth the money!read more

The best fish & chips I’ve ever tasted, the breading is light & doesn’t overpower the flaky & tender fish. The fries... were delicious as well, don’t forget your sauces though. The fry sauce & tartar sauce were both amazing. We will definitely be returning to try other menu items. Highly recommended spot if you’re ever in rockaway.read more

Above average fish and chips. Big plus for the fry not being overly greasy!!! Coleslaw is good but it had sweet. if... you enjoy your fries dipped in thousand Island you'll enjoy the fry sauce that comes with each basket. Smoked salmon was ok but would have preferred a bit more smoke. Only outdoor seating. Nice patio that is dog friendly. A few covered tables. Easy walk to the beach for picnic option.read more

Clam chowder is very good. So is the cod fish and chips. And the clam chowder was so good. Only issue were the... pretentious group in front of us but that is not the restaurant's fault. Oh, and did I mention that the clam chowder was great!read more

Highly recommend! In a great location and nice rooms. If you are after a beach-front room, make sure to specify when... booking, because there are sections of the rooms that do not have a direct view, but are still in walking distance of beach access! Our room had a balcony deck, fire place, full kitchen with dishes and utensils, large fridge, and was very spacious. We will definitely stay here again!read more

This is a hidden gem! We called ahead, and even though we had to wait when we arrived I’m glad we called. It’s a tiny... place with high demand! We got the halibut and clams. They both had a nice thin batter. The tarter sauce was delicious too!read more

We came here on a beach retreat and we were looking for something good and local. To our delight this little hidden gem... blew away our expectations. We ordered their most popular dishes which were theChicken and friesHalibut and friesPrawns and friesAll three were more than amazing and the sauces were excellent too. Looks don’t do this place justice just try their food and I’m sure you’ll love it too.read more

I was skeptical about this place. It doesn't look like much. However, our meal was fantastic! It's been 5 days and I'm... still talking about how delicious their Lobster Melt was. I'd drive back to the coast just to order that again.read more

First time here and ordered with my family. The wait time was fast and the portion sizes were pretty big. The fish had... light batter and wasn’t oily. The sauce that came for the fries was pretty good, I couldn’t tell what it was. The fish pieces were huge and was seasoned well. The clam chowder was thick and had good portion of clam potatoes etc. Everybody loved it and we will be coming back!read more

A bit pricier than you might expect from it's humble exterior, the Old Oregon Smokehouse serves up a respectable menu... of fried seafood for it's small size. They also happen to offer one of the best clam chowders I've ever eaten.Stop by sometime, pick up a chowder bowl and a lobster melt (not on the menu, but ask and you might get lucky), and make your day better.read more

The crab melt was fantastic (I won't deny that)! We also got the cod and chips and it was just meh. I've had many... better fish and chips. It was edible but it wasn't great. You also had to eat it with a fork. What bothered me most was that many of the cooking staff outside and people bringing the food out to people either were not wearing masks, were not wearing masks properly (noses out or were pulling them down to talk to a customer), or they were taking them on and off.read more

The clam chowder I really love. I really think it's the best I've had. I didn't love the fish and chips but it was... still good. I loved the crab cake, they run out of that one pretty fast for a reason.read more

Good place for Fish and Chips but be prepared for a long line around noon.Service is friendly and food was good. I... wish the FnC would have been a little crispier. We started waiting in line around 1145 and even though their hours start at 12, they didn't open before 1210PMread more

Great food, fun laid-back atmosphere. We had the clam chowder-very good, the clam strips-also very good, the crab... melt-delicious, and bought smoked salmon with garlic and spices to eat on bagels the next morning-delicious. Will definitely return if we are in Rockaway Beach again.read more

If you don’t give this place five stars you are just lying. I love everything about it. Atmosphere is great, the people... are very polite and the food is amazing ... they are even dog friendly and had treats. The Crab melt is a must. Granted, it is a bit pricey but absolutely worth it. I will come back here every time.read more

Great hole in the wall spot for fresh fried seafood.We got the Cod fish n chips, fried clams, popcorn shrimp, and... medium clam chowder to share between 2 of us; it was easily enough food for 3-4 people. Every fried item came with thick cut fries, coleslaw, and plenty of sauces.Line wasn't too bad for us, but we were there pretty late and some of the people in front of us were waiting almost an hour for their food. This has been pretty normal though, with most places closed or at capacity due to COVID.Definitely recommend.read more

I love this place. One of the best clam chowders I've ever had. It's not a restaurant but they do have tables to sit at... outside. They have a great variety of hot sauces to choose from. Here's one we bought. The smokehouse sits back in a cubby next to the US Bank in Rockaway. Enjoy.read more

We went here for the first time and got a crab melt, a lobster melt, fries and clam chowder. And let me tell you,... everything was absolutely decadent. Both the crab and lobster melts held true to their name as they melted in your mouth. The flavors were exquisite. The fries are fat, crunchy and perfectly salty. And the clam chowder is the best I've ever had. Eat here!!read more

This place is an absolute gem. Not just for a beach town, but for all of Oregon . You would never know from looking at... the outside, but the food quality is on par with some of the best restaurants in Portland. You can tell on every dish that the chef pours his heart into it. Everything we have tried here is exquisite. The star for me is the calamari and the corner beef sandwich. Love the setting beautiful view just right off the sand. Go....u won't be disappointed.read more

This place was amazing- the kind of food gem we hoped to discover while visiting Rockaway! The clam chowder was so good... (and I don't even like clam chowder!) My husband and I both ordered crab melts and think it was the best meal of our trip! So much flavor! If you want a coastal comfort food meal, this is the stop for you!read more

We've been vacationing to Rockaway Beach a few years now and this is the first time we visited this place. Boy it... didn't disappoint! Amazing clam chowder, fish and chips but the crab melt was the bomb! 💣 You have to come in during the lunch rush otherwise you might miss out (the food that uses bread sells out quickly). Your taste buds will thank you!! 🤤read more
