Driftwood Inn

We have visited Cannon Beach numerous times over the last 5 years and found consistently that the Driftwood provides excellent quality food and service. The dining room is small so you may have to wait (especially since the outside seating is adult only). It is worthwhile to wait given the quality of the food relative to other local options. The filet and tempura batter fried shrimp are favorites. more

My daughter had the crab special here on 02/26 and got violently ill. She ended up in/out of the bathroom for 24 full hours. We know it was the crab b/c she hadn't eaten for approx 8 hrs before we had dinner here. And I had a couple bites and also felt ill later. Luckily for me, I was only mildly ill - unfortunately for her she ate the whole thing and was sicker then she's EVER been. Went to the restaurant the next day to complain and couldn't even find an onsite manager to talk with. Did get the name of the mangers tho and will be contacting them as soon as we return from our trip. DON'T EAT HERE!!!!!!!!! It's not worth the risk. Spoke with a bakery owner in town and told her what happened. She said ""they aren't doing very well, I hear. . ."" NO KIDDING! more

We were tourists in Cannon Beach looking for a place for fish and chips and clam chowder for lunch. This was the perfect spot! It's by no means a chain (a HUGE advantage in our book) and doesn't have that overdone loud decor and ridiculously oversized portions that generally accompany such places. This place ain't high fashion but instead has a friendly, down-home, old-fashioned charm. Excellent food -- the clam chowder tasted fresh and flavorful, the cod was perfectly battered and fried, and the house specialty bloody mary is pretty darn good. The friendliest service you could possibly imagine, too! Pros: Food, service, homey Cons: Not super fashionable more

This place is great! Located in the heart of ""downtown"" Cannon Beach, Pros: Service! Cons: None! more
