Whatever you do, don't try to place a to go order over the phone. Gretchen answered the phone and said can you give me one minute and I'll be right with you to take your order. She laid the receiver down, and 30 minutes later decided to pick it back up and then hang it up. Talk about some poor service. I used to like this local joint. Now, I think I'll do like everyone else who visits the peninsula and go to the Lost Roo from now on.

Well as time seems to get to all of us, so too is the fate of Rod's  The food is greasy, you almost never get instant service any more because the wait staff is out in the back lot having a smoke.
Another thing that seems a little off is that I have gone in there at least twice a week for the last ten years and the owners still will not acknowledge me as a customer. Â No hello, no how's it goin, no thank you when I'm leaving, nothing. Â The wait staff does all these things, but the owners act like I'm invisible.
Well, now you see me.
Poof!
Now I'm gone!
That's all for now.
Couldn't decide how to "star" this one as it is probably a 3.5. Â Service is great and the staff is especially friendly and they make you feel like one of the locals. Â The food is good and the prices are reasonable. Â They have a nightly special and it looks like many of the locals partake as they know the menu by heart.
Beer is cold, Â burgers good, chowder good, pizza is ok for a non-pizza place. Â I would recommend this place for a cheap eat, beer and local atmosphere.
I'm totally a fan of this dive bar. The food was really good and greasy and they have fish and chips specials: all you can eat on certain nights of the week! Totally a great value if you are a big fan of fish 'n chips! My fiance had about two or three rounds. I had a really good and juicy cheeseburger. They had specials on pitchers of beer (about $12) and they had karaoke going in the other room. It's a really laid back atmosphere and the service was prompt and served with warm smiles.
I'll definitely go back if I'm ever in the area again.
This is the "sister" location, or should I say "ex-wife" location to Rod's in Warrenton, OR. Â We have always been a fan of Rod's in Warrenton, so after a day on the peninsula, we popped in here for supper. Â Identical menu, so we figured that it would be comparable to the food and service that we get in Warrenton. WRONG!!!
Big place!!! Oddly placed, Kuan Yin statue at the door lends one to think it was a former Chinese establishment. According to an employee, the only thing she new about the building was that there was a large fire that killed a few folks who lived in it back in the day. There was no knowledge of any Asian connection to the building. Â The mystery lingers.... (moooahahahah).
Food was disappointing. Â Here, they seemed to cut corners more. Â The oysters, while fresh at Rod's in Warrenton, were frozen from a box here. Come on!!! This is a fishing area!!! No excuse. Â Our server was one of the crustiest, bitchy, and inattentive servers I have had in a long while. I now know where the inspiration for The Sea Hag Bar was discovered. (eeeek). Very unfriendly vibe here as well. Just sort of dull and quiet.
May give them another shot if in the area and pushed for time, but really, it is just as easy to stay closer to home and get better service at the Warrenton location. Sad, because they have great daily / nightly specials and fair prices, but it is just not worth my time if we aren't going to get decent service.
This is an incredible restaurant in Long Beach. The appearance may turn you away, but don't fear... My boyfriend and I had the Monday special- burger basket for $4.99. It was scrumptious- a 1/4 pound burger with lettuce, tomato, onions, special sauce, and pickles on the side. It came with either homemade french fries or homemade chips. Yummy! We had the fries; they were fresh and delicious. We dipped them in homemade fry sauce and I asked for a side of ranch. They gave me a nice sized portion of ranch that was homemade buttermilk ranch.
The key word for this place is homemade. (and cheap). They have specials every night. The waiter was timely, attentive, and friendly.
This is a must eat restaurant in Long Beach! Delectable!
Rod's Lamplighter understands what every town needs - Â a bar with ample vinyl booth seating, some pool tables, dim lighting, weekend karaoke, Â and a kind bartender who will listen to your day's troubles and serve you a stiff drink. I cannot speak to the food, but the Lamplighter is my go-to spot on the Peninsula for some beer, hanging with the locals, Â and singing some Karaoke. There are some devoted local singers and always a few tourists to add a little surprise to the mix. I recently brought 10 women to the bar - all from out of town. We all got a chance to sing, were cheered by the other folks in the bar and even got a round of drinks purchased for us. Totally awesome experience. I heart long beach.
