Pan Roast — Restaurant in Camas

Update #3. Owner contacted me and made sure improvements would be made and helped remedy the situation. We really appreciate that and look forward to thing again. Will update review once we visit again.

**Updated

Sadly, we went our second time and things have changed for the worst. 2/19/2025.

-the shrimp alfredo was very small and disappointing, no actual sauce just butter and a bit of cheese. very very bland. about 5 shrimp. This would normally cost me about $3 to make, if that. Also smaller overall than other's previous photos posted,. 1.5/5 stars

-the clam chowder was supposed to be a bowl but was smaller than my previous cup size.

-pan roast, at $28 for the combo there should have been more lobster pieces. there were two small quarter size amounts. If there was crab, i couldn't find any. Not even the tiny bits that thicken. I asked, like last time, to just have a few extra shrimp instead of clams. Was told couldn't but then she claimed she would put extra crab in, to sub the clams. That did not happen. 5 small shrimp in the shrimp pan roast and the combo pan roast. flavors still great though for the soup base. 2/5 stars

All seafood overcooked and flavorless.

less bread/smaller pieces. two, and small.

We will likely not be returning, which is a bit heartbreaking. I loved this place and was excited to try new dishes.

I would have had the seafood remade/the alfredo changed for a different dish. But hard to do at a food cart.

Old review in Oct/Nov 2024:

So hard to find seafood pan roasts in the whole country. Fun food truck location too.

We got the combo seafood pan roast. And the Clam chowder. With delicious bread. Both 5/5 great!

I read it was spicy on one of the reviews and there is just a little heat but not enough to scare anyone away. I am rather spice sensitive myself. But a mild version would be nice for days you aren't feeling too spicy. We asked for extra shrimp instead of with clams. 7 good sized shrimp. A good bit of lobster tail and a bit of claw meat. I think somewhere lurking around was crab- this isn't going to be the lump type though. Seafood was not overcooked thankfully! Easy to do with soup type dishes. Tails were a bit annoying to deal with on the shrimp but they always look better that way, so I have read. For the price, this is absolutely worth it.

You often get the same amount of lobster in a mac and cheese at other places at same price or more even.

Clam Chowder was not too heavy. Plenty of clams and a night delicate but creamy taste.

Also came with a great amount of the bread. Get this! Rice isn't as fun.

This is a review coming from a seafood/food snob who has been to the Las Vegas Oyster Bar that this was inspired by. Which is so amazing. My husband doesn't even like seafood but thinks about that place often.

This one is not as rich (could use more alcohol bases maybe). But a great alternative!

Improvements: -Potentially pop the tails off the shrimp. -Making it where you can add extra to some of the dishes like "extra shrimp" etc. -Adjustable spice levels

Let's keep these guys in business! Thank you so much for making...

So, I'm very critical about dining experiences, and the foods that I eat. I usually only post negative reviews, more or less to warn consumers. I rarely provide positive reviews, but I must share my experience here, it was outstanding. Now, more often than not when it comes to seafood restaurants, the tartar sauce is terrible, and the cocktail sauce generic. I was pleasantly surprised when the tartar sauce was light, unique, and full of flavor. It was probably one of the best tartar sauces I have ever tasted. And their cocktail sauce...mind you I make my own because not many people make a decent cocktail sauce. This is the only place that serves cocktail sauce that equals my own. While they had some specialty dishes that looked delicious, I decided to let my first experience be their 4 piece cod fish and chips. I was expecting tiny pieces of fish. I was delighted to see 4 large pieces of beer battered cod sitting on top of a bed of waffle fries. The cod came out piping hot. The fries were not hot, but they were warm and still tasty. All in all I highly recommend trying this place. Next time I think I will try the lobster bisque. ...

Just ordered delivery through DoorDash from this place. I am pretty close, but I was impressed by the packaging and freshness of the food. We ordered the fried artichoke hearts, seared ahi and the lobster pan roast. We didn’t think too much of the apps. Both were hard to eat. Breading for the artichoke hearts was unpleasant and the ranch sauce was bland. Ahi had a big presentation issue (at least in delivery form) and the rub was too salty. But the latter was better on balance, the sear and rareness were pretty good, the sauce was good and the fish was fresh.

All that aside, the pan roast, WOW. Total knockout dish that left us bickering over the last few drops. We had it with bread; rice is an option too, and I am sure it would be good with some of the broth spooned over rice, but if you eat bread…you are going to want this perfectly crusty, buttery bread to mop up the broth. Incredible. Generous variety of lobster meat too, and well-prepared.

We will definitely be back to explore more of the menu. Hate to give a place with such an amazing dish 4 stars but we really didn’t like those apps. We will revisit after checking out more of...
