The brisket sandwich was excellent, you so often get a lot of fat with brisket, but this was lean and flavorful. The tri-tip sandwich was also very good, the fish tacos were a lot of food, but light on flavor. Grilled cheese and fries were solid and the gluten free clam chowder was ok. Food was delivered quick.
I had read this had good gluten free items and it was great to have so many choices I could eat. Although they don't have a separate kitchen if you need that. My husband shared my blueberry compote on his pancakes and still had plenty to take home. Real half and half for coffee and we think real butter. Our waitress, Twilene, was so helpful and even made a new pot of decaf, even though we thought it was fine.
Excellent food! I had gluten free pasta and it was great! The panna cotta is the best I have ever had. Not too congealed and great flavor. Added the pic of the half eaten panna cotta so you can see how creamy it is. Will definitely go back whenever I am in Seaside!
Loved it! So glad we found this spot. Dog friendly. Gluten-free choices galore. Super sweet lil spot. Saving it for whenever we are in town again. Thank you!!
Me and my fiancé came here during our vacation, we got the eggs Benedict and breakfast burrito. I’d like to call myself a Benedict connoisseur, it’s my favorite breakfast, and I get it everytime we go to breakfast. When I tell you this was the best eggs Benedict I’ve ever had in my life, it was really nice they had a gluten free option for it as well, the arepas are to die for, I didn’t even know what it was until now, my fiancé said the breakfast burrito was the best thing he’s ever had 10/10 food. From the time we ordered to when we got the food took a little bit and we were getting a little hangry, but you can’t rush perfection. We ended up going to seaside again 2 days later but I was closed on the day we came back!!!! We were so sad hahaha but this was the best breakfast we have ever had.
Certain staff know gluten issues, smiles from every staff. Food - fresh, not fishy, we'll prepared, great portions, clean drinking water, amazing selection for families with diverse tastes. Music should be in the air while dining in such an open cathedral type setting. Instrumental, NOT ELEVATOR MUSIC. real instrumentalists of all genres. Thanks for not using a crap ton of rice!! I mean that
Fun, open space, good food and fun games. Staff was friendly and fast. You can order gluten free pizza, single pizza slices, they have a salad bar, wings burgers and BLT sandwiches. Wine and draft beer too
I hate rating it this low because the chefs here consistently deserve 5 stars. However, the service here was absolutely terrible this time and I want management to see this. We ordered to go and when we got there today we learned that someone else had walked in, said they'd paid online, and walked out with our meals. The person at the front did not verify this resulting in these other individuals walking out with over $200 worth of food as we had not yet paid (we then later watched them return and request a refund because they received the wrong meals). They had to remake our meals, however when we got home and went through them, we discovered that the incompetent person who had taken out order had ignored correction and provided fried salmon instead of the wild salmon meal (which were 2 of the 6 orders we had placed)- also given a gluten allergy this was a serious issue. We then had to wait to have these meals remade, again. By the time we finally were able to sit and eat, 2 hours had passed since we originally went to get our food and all but the 2 salmon meals were cold. And then, just to top it all off, while eating, we discovered that they had also failed to recognize the nut allergy and put nuts on the salad. After all of that, honestly at least some of our bills should have been comped, but that was not offered. That worker cost this business literally hundreds of dollars today and failed to verify that allergy needs were properly met.
Full disclosure: I have been their distributor of cold cuts and cheeses since they opened about 15 years ago. I haven't written reviews for other customers. This exception is well deserved.
Most restaurant owners look to cut expenses by using cheaper proteins, but David (owner), has always insisted on using only the best quality.
For one example, they buy the pastrami navels even though it costs 22% more than bottom rounds to serve the same traditional taste and texture that made it famous in NY. Few places in Oregon have this quality. All their meats (Thumann's brand) are free of MSG, fillers, artificial colors and flavors, have about 1/3 less sodium than most, and are certified gluten-free. Whole muscle meat that's not watered down and minimally processed naturally tastes better!! Even the swiss and provolone are high end.
Portion sizes are generous, and menu prices are in line with Portland's quality sandwich shops even though this is a prime location.
Yes, the lines are long, sometimes spilling out onto the sidewalk but there's a large menu board hanging from the ceiling so customers can choose while waiting. That keeps the line moving quickly while the staff efficiently make the sandwiches to perfection.
A lot of their business is repeat, and there's a loyal following of locals. Dave is a pretty big guy which to some might initially appear intimidating, but that is just a misperception since he truly is a "gentle giant" loved by everyone who knows him, and he takes good care of the staff so please support this local business.
A year ago I moved away from Oregon, and one of my favorite pizza places... My husband and I fell in love with the gluten free pizza at PH - and the simplicity of (plentiful) one topping thin crust gf pizza from here is everything. So when I came back to Oregon for work, I made sure to make an extra two hour drive just to head up and get myself some pizza. 10/10 recommend
My family lives their pizza, fettuccine and salad. The best part was the gluten free pizza. It was their own recipe and far superior to other GF crusts. Five dollar up charge? Totally worth it.
Lots of different things on the menu to try. We had beef salad and drunken noodles
We found it average. We have great Thai food in Vancouver, Canada, so that's what we compare it to. They have gluten free and vegan options
The water tasted dirty, like it was dirty dish water, we could see a shiny film on the surface in the cup, so we ordered drinks instead. Service was ok
Can accommodate larger parties. Portions are generous. Wait staff were friendly and knowledgeable about gluten and celiac. Gluten free menu available. I had smoked salmon salad with gf bread. Tasty!
I've been going to Sam's since childhood, and now while bringing my own child in on Friday, the experience was very different.
It had been about 3 years or so since I'd been to Seaside, so I hadn't been since the change in ownership. I was a little worried when I saw the new signs, but inside didn't look much different (except clean with new lights!).
The waitress (I'm so sorry I didn't catch her name, but she said she's s been there 20 years and I remembered her from her musical notes, was so nice and told us about the change after I was noticeably excited about all of the new changes. (Delicious gluten-free buns and the clams are made in wine now instead of beer!!!!) She was so helpful and quick helping me get my little one settled and happy and had just made fresh coffee, so extra bonus!
I had the cheeseburger and it was fantastic. Their fries are as greasy as ever and soooo good and everything was just the perfect meal to end our short trip before having to head home.
With so many places closing, I'm so happy to see Sam's thriving!
The food and service were great! We ordered the chili cheese burger on a gluten-free bun with fries. The first order came out on regular bread, but the server was prompt to take it back to the kitchen to have it redone. She was always checking back with us and refilling water when needed. When the check came, she gave us a discount for the mistake made. We would come back again!
This place is not food allergy friendly. I asked about gluten-free dishes and the waitress who said she has worked here for 7 years said that they mix flour in with everything. The wait staff was generally unknowledgeable regarding what sides and what types of meat came with their dishes and their ingredients. The staff was also unfriendly when I asked these questions which I have to given I have food allergies. I would not recommend anyone with food allergies eat here.
The food was good, the service was outstanding.
The meals were well portioned, and they can accommodate for gluten-free on request.
Their service was amazing, our cucumber water never went empty, and my kids were rewarded with a toy each for being "outstanding diners".
A great quick breakfast option. Had the Beachcomber Breakfast Sandwich with avocado and gluten free bread. The staff was really friendly and there were many seating options.
An absolutely incredible meal and experience!!!! Tons of vegan and gluten free options. Even a vegan Thai iced tea was possible, with free refills! Best Thai food I’ve had outside of Thailand. Every single bite was such a delight and I can’t wait to visit seaside again and come get some more of this glorious food!!!!!!!
LOVEEEEEE THIS THAI SPOT🔥🔥🔥
We are from Seattle, putting our expectations pretty high.
Thai us up is authentic and taste so delicious. Great quality meat, meaning chicken and beef weren’t chewy.
Very consistent taste through out the year of being here 3 times.
THEY ALSO HAVE GLUTEN FREE SOY SAUCE MEANING THEY CAN MAKE SOME DISHES GLUTEN FREE!!!!
We ordered the Pad Kee Mao and Pad See Eew and eggs rolls it was just perfectly sweet and just the right amount of spice! Egg rolls were fresh, hot and crispy!
Celiac friendly
