Driftwood Restaurant and Lounge has been serving Cannon Beach since 1944. This favorite is an institution for area residents and a wonderful find for visitors. It is a warm, casual restaurant, which we’ve recently embellished with a large outdoor fire-pit that overlooks the action on Main Street.

July 16, 2026Mark mTerrible!
Wife and I got seated in the lounge. We kept smelling something strange,then we noticed we are sitting next to the bathroom entrance. Every time someone went in or out of the bathroom we were getting a strong smell of urinal cakes from the bathroom. That was getting nasty to smell so we asked for another table and were told 45 minute wait. I’ve been driving 4 hours. Terrible experience and service. I’ve been here many times in the last 50 years. After today I think I won’t return thanks to the nasty situation and seating issues.

Cute place that has been around for a long time. Lovely staff. Food was food, but not great. Call ahead for a reservation.

Steve was a good waiter
Steve was a good waiter. The huckleberry lemonade was good but served in a rocks glass, I was expecting a taller glass. The garlic bread was excellent. My husband had the prime rib and prawns with vegetables and liked it. I had the prawns in garlic butter with fries. I’m not a salt person but kept adding salt to get more flavor. Maybe it was my tastebuds but thought the prawns were pretty bland and the fries were just ok.

We finally got into this place. We have seen it for years, but always too busy with long wait times. It is first recommended place by everyone. I’m not sure why. The outside space is nice when weather good. I thought the lottery machines a bit tacky. The food was the biggest disappointment. We ordered shrimp cocktail 3/5, Caesar salad 3/5, fried oysters 3/5, grilled salmon 3.5/5, and Marion berry cheese cake 3/5. Nice wine pours.

Good service. Food just ok.
We had great service at the bar but the food was not that great. I had the fried oysters and they were so greasy they made me sick. This is the second time I've eaten here and I have been just meh about it each time.
