Thanks for your review! I, personally, avoid Mo's when on the Oregon coast. I love to travel to the coast, frequently. And, there are so many wonderful places to eat fresh seafood. The food trucks are often amazing! Gold Beach has a great one! Nehalem's has a wonderful fish and chips spot! Astoria has one of the best fish and chips with a variety of fish, including tuna which is absolutely delicious!! The local chefs from food trucks to nicer restaurants know how to cook the local, fresh fish!!! 😋😁💯🤩😍
Next time in Florence, go to Novelli’s on the dock. Guy Ferrari says they have the best seafood chowder on the Oregon coast.
We have eaten their crab chowder many times! We love it, but I think the chowder at The Horn in Depoe Bay is better 😉
Firehouse right down the street is good chowder, get the deluxe, it’s covered in shrimp and cheese baked on top.
We have tried Firehouse and enjoyed their comfort food!
I used to make a 2 hour trip to Mo's back in the early 80's just to get their seafood. Wonderful chowder and everything was delicious. That was still when Mo's was in the old garage and Mo herself would come around and pour coffee. It seemed like the Mo's experience got less and less enjoyable after they built the first "annex" right across the street and closed the original location.
We really liked the location right on the water in Newport. Should have shared a review 😆
I lived in Florence, and I think you guys are being generous. Mo's has the worst seafood in Oregon. I don't think I ever met a local who liked their food, so if not for the unsuspecting tourists the place would have gone out of business long ago.
😆 we tried to be as objective as possible
If you ever come back to Florence. The resto bar and the casino both have great chowder.
Our family is close by, so we will be back 🙂
I agree 1285 Restobar does have the best clam chowder. I live in Florence and had all of them. As for the Casino it’s good too. But I really like their Calamari at Bills the best.
It's been years since we've been to Mo's just because of experiences like this. Thanks for reviewing the Florence location!
Mo's hasent been fit to eat for 30 years
🤣
I lived in Florence for seven years. Mo's was known as the McDonald's of Clam Chowder. Like McDonald's, Mo's was dirty and the food was very poor quality. And like McDonald's, you could literally, buy it and place it directly in the toilet. It was a place people went to once, unless they were a McDonald's patron or just a fan of bad food.
😆
We lived in Eugene for decades and only ate at Mo's when we used their parking lot to go crabbing
Despite the questionable food, the view of the river is outstanding, and the servers very kind.
There's better seafood in town for sure
Next time you go to Florence, go to the Firehouse. Some of the best on the coast. If money doesn't matter, Killo's in Lincoln City.
We've been to both, and they're great!!
Mo's is definitely a go-to for many people but a lot of the food is middle of the road IMO. The clam chowder is good but I prefer the Chowder Bowl's chowder. It does depend on what you get, though. Always loved the bay shrimp sandwich and the peanut butter pie at Mo's.
There is something comforting about going to mo's... we'll try that pie the next time we visit
Tabasco in New England clam chowder is a must.
I always use Tabasco or another type of hot sauce, however I have to wait until Amy tries it first. 😝
not if you don't like tabasco...
thank goodness the beer wasn't flat....did you ever put any kind of vinegar on fish & chips? i would always put malt vinegar on my long john silvers along with the tartar sauce
I did use tartar sauce. After all the fish & chips we ate on the Oregon coast, this place had the least flavor of all.
Mo's is so middle of the road, that may even be a compliment. There is sooooo much better seafood on the Oregon coast. We live in southwest Oregon.
We spent all last summer on the Oregon coast and found many good seafood stops, all better than Mo's 😅. Thanks for watching 😀
@@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612 From a 42 year resident of Oregon, these are some killer restaurants to put on your list for next time. Local Ocean Seafood (Newport, one of the very best in the state), Tony's Crab Shack (Bandon), Zola's by the Water (Brookings). Hukilau (Florence), Hwy 101 Burger (Lincon City), Tidal Raves (Depot Bay).
We've been to Tony's years before we started sharing our videos. Sooo good 👍
Wisconsin has great fish frys
Haven't been up there yet. Looking forward to checking it out.
I live in Florence, having retired from Seattle. Sadly, I must say that the food here leaves a bit to be desired. After the chaos of covid, the various restaurants have struggled with staffing, pricing and quality. We're paying Seattle prices for food that simply doesn't meet the same standards. I guess I got spoiled by the unparalleled quality, variety and freshness. Still, I do enjoy it here and the people are very, very friendly, one of the shortcomings of the "Seattle cool".
We love Florence!
We used to live in Eugene, and it was our closest coastal getaway
😃
Mos serves canned clam chowder
Definitely not the best 😕
Frozen
Mo's has really gone downhill, especially after the COVID situation. We ate there last year, in Florence, and thee was nothing good about any of the experience. Service was poor, food was mediocre, place was not as clean as it has been in the past - so pretty much done with Mo's. We can get much better meals elsewhere, for the same price, or slightly more, which I am willing to pay if the food is quality and service is good. Too bad, as Mo's used to be the place. Tourists just have not figured it out.
I have never been a Mo's fan, however I do like the annex Mo"s on the bayfront in Newport. It's the only one that sells cioppino.
That’s too bad about the food quality - that’s the problem with chains sometimes. It was my MILs fav but that was many years ago. K’s comment to your French fries was “the frenchiest fries” 😂
As often as we eat out, it's bound to happen now & then.
😅didn’t you try the whine? It’s fresh.
😆
Picky picky picky!
It's sad because we want to love this place but there's such better seafood in Florence
Too bad it was mediocre. Looking forward to the crabbing!
Me too 🦀
I do not like Mo's clam chowder - never did. It's got a bacon flavor that overwhelms whatever clams might be in the chowder.
I agree
Sea food on the coast is mostly deceiving, you expect its local fresh fish. Mostly not. Your getting mostly frozen commercially available off the back of the Sysco truck fish, fries and bagged soup. There are some rare places that do serve the best local fish but your not getting actual quality out of season. Crab season if you can afford $30-50/lb crab is amazing. Stick w the local rockfish, as any salmon you get is dyed Atlantic frozen crap, unless your paying $45-65 per plate for Chinook from up north. Oysters are not a local item in most of Oregon. Don't waste your time, I've actually been served Jared oysters on a clam shell as fresh on the half shell. Beware of small towns on busy weekends. They never have enough stock or help.
Agree! We love to catch and cook our crab!
There's also a great fisherman's market in Eugene with many fresh options
Locals don't go to Mo's.😅
Totally agree! They are very gracious with parking while crabbing at the public pier, so we'd patron their restaurant
Mo's is no bueno. You could have had great Clam Chowder right on the dock at Novelli's Crab and Seafood.
Novelli's is great!
I thought it said, "OH."
I used to live in Kentucky and my bf's people lived in Ohio. That'd be a weird seafood review.
But my family live(d) in Newport, very close to Florence & this Mo's. I'm pretty sure I've been, but I'm also pretty sure I can't remember a damn thing about the food!
This review is bizarre.
"Well, the food is weird, but I'm hungry, so I'll eat it."
Not really reliable!
😆 is not the best in town but popular
We hate to waste food. We did send the clams back as they were inedible
Just for tourists, locals avoid it
Eat where the locals eat….. it’s NOT at Mo’s we know better
Same as the Mo's in Lincoln city.
Whatever they make needs to go in the dumpster
😆
