Featuring fish baskets, burgers, chowder and salads, Tom's Fish & Chips is a Cannon Beach staple and a favorite for families.
Arrived after driving about 8.5 hours. I don't know who the guy was working the counter that night (Tues April 27) but he was so kind and jolly!!! Give him a raise! I asked if it was ok for my dog to sit at the table and he looked at me like I had two heads and said "of coarse"! I was so tired as I stared at the drinks menu and he asked what I was looking for. When I replied I didn't know he asked if he could make a suggestion which was Pineapple Cider. It was just as he said "refreshing". Really loved this small and sweet chip shop. The fish was tender and fresh and it was just what I needed after a long drive. I'll be back!
After seeing this as the top Fish & Chips spot in Cannon Beach, I was expecting seriously good eats. I wanted to try something new since we tend to hit up the same place when we’re at the coast - creatures of habit. My husband and I both ordered the halibut which we were told was breaded fresh each day. What arrived on our plates were skinny, overcooked little fillets that looked like it came from a freezer (I overheard the staff tell another customer that their fish was wild caught in Alaska - not locally caught this time of year. I wonder if it was indeed frozen given it wasn’t local.) The fillet was only about 1/4 inch thick — not much to dig your teeth into like you see at other places at the coast. The fries were pretty good but nothing special. My kid got a chicken sandwich which she enjoyed. The location was convenient being right on the main drag in Cannon Beach. We were quite disappointed in the overal quality of our meal and would not recommend if you’re wanting a succulent halibut fish & chips meal.
This is a Unique Place, that sits on Main Street. We Appreciate the Location. You get what you come for, with Good Fish & Chips, etc. The Staff are Friendly, Good, Clean Establishment, inside seating our out.
We stopped here for a late lunch on a very busy Saturday afternoon in Cannon Beach. Staff were following COVID protocols, although outdoor seating was jammed full and fairly close together. We ordered our food to go and ended-up taking it to a nearby park which was less crowded. As fried seafood goes, Tom’s did a great job. The clam strips were delicious and not rubbery; the breading had great flavor and the clam taste did not get lost in the breading and oil. Fried shrimp were also really tasty, with a light breading. Fries were hot and crisp with both meals. Although it was definitely fried food, there wasn’t excess greasiness with either meal. We enjoyed our lunch and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend for something look for a fast, classic fried seafood meal.
Enjoyed their 3 pc. fish 'n chips and caesar salad! It was "outdoor" dining but we were able to find a table and enjoyed our lunch!!
