The breaded shrimp are very good I quite enjoy them. The French fries are all right. The Coca-Cola has a lot of flavor which I appreciate. You to wait for a bit for your breaded shrimp but not to long.

Flew out on a cold morning and a bowl of the clam chowder really hit the spot! Super tasty! Their breakfast bowl was also delicious with eggs, gravy, cheese, and sausage. Reasonably priced and the customer service was great! ...

We landed at the Portland Airport at 7:30 this morning. I checked out this joint's menu last night from home. Known for their clam chowder, of course I was going to have to get some even though its 7:30 in the morning. This place was popping for being a early as it was! They had so many people waiting for orders and waiting to order. Besides the clam chowder, they offer a variety of breakfast items which is cool. Breakfast bagels, breakfast burritos, biscuits and gravy. I got myself a small clam chowder. I was still full from my yogurt cup from earlier or I totally would have gotten the bread bowl. I snagged the biscuits and gravy for my husband. Biscuits and gravy is always a safe bet for my husband. Our food came out hot! And honestly, when I opened my soup cup and saw all the seasoning on top, I was worried about it being overwhelming. I was wrong. The seasoning was a great addition to the soup. It was hot! It was loaded with potatoes, clams and bacon. It was creamy and savory. That clam chowder was legit good! My husband smashed out his biscuits and gravy so I'm sure they were fantastic. I'm happy I got to try this joint out cause who knows if I ever will get to try them again. The service was fast and everything came out super hot! The chowder was legit good and if I ever come across another Mo's, I'm definitely going.

Had an unexpected layover at PDX. Found this little gem near my gate. I don’t expect much from airport restaurants, but this place was beyond delicious with fair prices. I ordered the fish and chips with a mimosa. It was worth every bite and sip after a stressful day of traveling and no sleep. They are short staffed so wait was long but worth it if you have the time.

This was great as usually you can never go wrong with the clam chowder! Some of the best around. This location has a lot less than the other locations. The burrito was good but not great! Just get the clam chowder and you won’t be sorry! They weren’t the fastest but far from the slowest so plan accordingly!

This might be one of the best seafood restaurants I’ve ever tried. The chain has several locations, but this one offers a more limited menu, likely due to its airport setting. Despite this, the prices are surprisingly fair, and some items were even cheaper than what’s listed on the website, which was a pleasant surprise given the typical airport markups. The food quality was excellent—I got a mixed plate, and the shrimp was absolutely the highlight, perfectly cooked and flavorful. Their homemade tartar sauce was a standout as well, adding a fresh and zesty kick to the meal. Although you have to eat at the food court tables, the quality of the food makes up for it, and it’s a great option if you’re looking for something fresh and delicious while traveling. I’m eager to visit one of their other locations outside the airport to explore the full menu, as this experience has left me wanting more. Overall, it’s a fantastic spot for fresh seafood, and I highly recommend giving it a try if you have the chance.

The chowder is really good! I’d go out of my way to get a bowl. It goes really well with the garlic bread. Sharif is one of the nicest employees there, too. It’s refreshing to see such good energy, especially early in the morning.
