My wife had the French onion soup and the spinach salad. They were both absolutely delicious. I had the quail wrapped in bacon and it is a meal worth having a second time. It was memorable to say the least. For dessert I had the apple crisp, it was a great dessert and worth having a second time.

Had lunch there two days last week. Food is good chowder and sandwich, Fresh quality ingredients, great taste. Service excellent drinks kept full.Unfortunately sixty dollars for two people two day's in a row! Ouch! Budget gone, this is long beach Washington not long beach California.

Old fashioned real bakery here, starts work at 4 in the morning and still open at 6 in the evening.... Proper pastries here, plenty of choices, beautifully baked and tasty. Ended up eating way too much here, but was worth every mouthful. Will be back with a bigger appetite and try the fresh lunches too. mmmmmm. I'll be back!

The front part of this business in an antiques store, and in back is a quaint cafe. It's now called Olde Towne Coffee Cafe. The ham, egg, cheese panini was delicious. Husband says the french toast was okay. Luanne is very friendly, prices are average. I'd go back there if I were in the neighborhood again.

We were staying in Long Beach over Christmas, so were looking for a place to eat dinner. Lucky for us Salt Pub in Illwaco was open! The food was super, and our server Jim was exceptional. The decor is minimalist and contemporary..and you can’t beat the view! We’ll be back!

The line can quickly build, but the staff was very kind and delivered a good cup of warm coffee and a frothy latte. Selling backed goods from a local baker this was good stop for a cup of coffee as we escaped town.

We have moved to new location. 2 Blocks North, right next to Marsh's Museum

Of all times to try this spot again (last time was for their excellent chowder), labor day weekend had to be the busiest! However, it was well worth the wait. This time we had the crabcakes & crabroll and they were Fantastic! Their coleslaw (side with the crab cakes) was delicious and the cranberries were a nice surprise. We will definitely be visiting there again. Great job!

Enjoy freshly-prepared seafood in a casual setting. Great waterfront view of the marina. Locally-caught Dungeness crab, oysters, clams, and more!
Reviewed By Ignace D - Flemish Brabant Province, Belgium
Stopped by to have some lunch and took the fish and chips (halibut and tuna). It was obvious that the fish wasn't fresh but frozen. Fish was good, chips on the other hand were not good. A very small amount of coleslaw was included. Staff wasn't particularly friendly or enthusiastic. Just did their job of taking the order and bringing the food. So bottom-line : OK but nothing to really recommend to anyone.

This is your place, they even have a few convenience store items and gifts. Limited seating inside and no restrooms. I felt bad for the little old lady that was looking for the bathroom and she was told there was a porta potty in the parking lot. This was for 4 stars instead of 5.
