Cannon Beach Hardware and Public House — Restaurant in Cannon Beach

As with all resort eateries they are overpriced and underwhelming and typically serve tiny portions at big prices. Screw and Brew is actually a hardware store which our friends who live in or have second homes in Cannon Beach actually use quite a lot. It is also a restaurant which has a diverse menu and serves big portions, but still at the big prices but compared to the other eateries its the place to go if you want to eat in the sun on a picnic table in a parking lot ... hot bright dog friendly ... its very casual and summery feeling. Wait staff was attentive and drinks were delivered quickly and food was brought out with minimal wait time. The problem was that everything was fried and dripping in oil .. fried fish was nearly 3x the portion we received at Doogers and super fresh meat texture but the breading was super saturated on oil ... so much that after one piece we removed the breading from the other two pieces and had to wrap them in napkins before eating, buffalo chicken sandwich was haauuge and good but again dripping in oil, calamari was inedible it was so greasy .. there was literally 1/8 of standing fryer oil in the bottom of the bowl they were served in, reuban sandwiches bread was saturated in oil ... corn chowder wasnot very good .. really floury... beers and ciders on tap were good and sodas were typical pepsi products. All in all, the 8 of us enjoyed each other but collectively we all took a year off our lives but eating this $250 dinner. RECOMMENDED with...

My Wife and I went to Cannon Beach to celebrate our 29th anniversary, unfortunately she took ill late in the afternoon. The clerk at the hotel called all over the area to find some soup that wasn't too heavy, but with no luck. I went to the market and got some canned chicken noodle and crackers in case my wife felt like eating. I was hungry after nursing my wife and went to the Hardware Store and Public House to get me something to go. I was told they had amazing fish and they also had great burgers. This sounded good and it was across from the market I had just left, I was walking so being close was good too. I was the only one in line and waited about 5 minutes before anyone even acknowledged I was even there, then a few more minutes goes by and I was asked if it was a party of one. I replied no and explained about my wife being sick in our hotel and if they did orders to go. He said they did, but had no time for that tonight and for me to go somewhere else. I was shocked to say the least. I could understand having to wait a while longer, but really how much of an inconvenience is it to prepare a to go order vs. a dine in order? This place must have more patrons that they know what to do with to insult and send away customers who will never go back. If this place has any association with or is part of the Public House chain this place in Cannon Beach is giving the...

From the start on entering this place the service was awful. Our waitress was not friendly us at all, didn’t explain any of the specials or what was on tap (but did for others that came in). Gave us water but didn’t ask if we wanted anything else.

My wife got the Ecola burger. She said it was fine.

Kids shared the chicken strips (that seemed to annoy the waitress)

I got the special “smoked” bbq beef sandwich. There was nothing smoked about this. The bbq sauce was sour. And the meat didn’t even appear cooked or smoked. No smoke ring nothing. Not even a hint of being actually smoked. The chef really went ham on the salt with the chips, but put next to nothing on the fries.

Didn’t even finish the sand which. It had a horrid taste.

When the food arrived the waitress just dropped it on the table. It was like she didn’t even want to serve us.

When it was time to pay. The hostess passed me 5 times while I stood at the debit machine. The waitress saw me just standing there and the bar tender gave me a couple looks. No one thought to help us end our service. I stood there for 10 minutes. It was not that busy.

Was a very disappointing...
