I have been to the coast on many occations, but had yet to try Mo's "world-famous" chowder. Now I can say I did, and I won't do it again. Maybe at sometime they had really great chowder, but our family prefered the Sea Hag and The Chowder Bowl's chowder. Mo's chowder has no flavor, it tastes like potato chowder with... more

My boyfriend, his family and I always to to Mo's whenever we visit Newport! This is one of those places that while there are a lot of tourist, it isn't "touristy" or pretentious in any way. Yes, there is a very long line waiting to get into the place, but once you taste the chowder, the salmon, the clams you'll... more

There's a tipping point when a restaurant gets well-known enough that folks go there, despite some significant drawbacks. That's Mo's.

But the food's OK, hardly anything to... more

Everyone should try Mo's at least once. We go nearly every time we go to the Oregon Coast. The clam chowder is good and the atmosphere is good to sit down with friends and have a meal. The staff is very efficient about getting people in and seated. We stood in line only about 15 minutes the last time. On... more

This place is over rated. There are much better places along the coast for sea food. I'd skip this joint and go somewhere without a line! It's not worth it. I've had better seafood in Colorado. more

I absolutely love the small town wharf feel, the history and funkyness of the joint is what makes Mo's great! The employees I have spoken with all rave about working for the family owned and operated business. The employee's are awarded trips almost every year and The Chowder is undeniably good and. The fact that Mo's has been around for... more
