Sixth-generation oyster farmers serve raw and grilled bivalves right on Hood Canal. Praised by Eater Seattle and long admired by regional critics, it’s a true farm-to-shore lunch with mountain views and salty air.

Out in the middle of nowhere, this place draws crowds from all around...even out of state. We went for a family member's birthday and the visit was a nice and memorable treat. Oysters and clams abound! It was busy (I hear it always is) and the wait on the food only somewhat reflected it. Bathrooms are outside port-a-potties, outside has some coverings for dining and makes for a cool "portside" experience. A good novelty. Local drinks and a food truck (with limited offerings), if only oysters aren't your thing.

We drove 2 hours to see this place with no reservations. At the arrival they told is 45 minutes wait but it only took 10 minutes. We got #6 table on the stage which was perfect spot to see the whole place and the ocean. Service was great. We ordered the clam chowder which was delicious with little potatoes bites and small shrimp in it, soo good. Got a crab cluster which was small but very good, also we ordered the steamed oysters which the presentation was beautiful, the oysters small but with the seasonings to dip the bread in was absolutely delicious. Also we ordered the spanish style oyster called Escabeche, comes in a small white ball with a red tangy sauce, the oysters are big and amazing . We loved this place , very unique , food great and service. And you can buy fresh lobster, and oysters, clams for home.

Awesome place! Good food. Spendy! $55 for 2 grilled cheese sandwiches, 2 cups of soup, a can o' beer, and a cola. Views are unsurpassed. Heated wooden TeePees are awesome for enjoying Hood Canal with lunch while staying out of the rain. Great place to stop while visiting Hood Canal!

Hands down THE BEST oysters I’ve had and best atmosphere/experience. Everyone here is kind and down to earth. You’re supporting a community by coming here and although out of the way, the drive is spectacular. We had dozens of oysters, clams, escabeche, chowder and you cant forget the beer! We had a quiet walk along the waters edge after dinner and a beautiful drive back to town afterward. This is our 2nd year visiting this place from Colorado. We literally plan a vacation around this. Highly recommend booking a reservation just so you don’t have to worry about arriving when it’s packed. There is also a food truck and seating area if you do arrive without reservation.

Set our reservation when they became available on Monday - excellent service / staff / food - this place did not disappoint and worth the effort to get into the system on Monday and lock up a reserved spot which provides a nice 2 hr window to enjoy your time there. Oysters and the rest of the meal was incredible.

Had such a great experience at Hama Hama this past weekend. Service and atmosphere was splendid and the food was so delicious. Definitely recommend getting the roasted oysters. They come in a chipotle butter sauce - don’t forget to dip the bread in the remaining butter! Grilled cheese was nicely crisped and cheesy. Would recommend adding onion jam to it. The other dishes I had were great as well. Definitely worth the trek from Seattle! The drive there was also lovely since you drive along the water. You can also take the ferry to start the journey over too.

In summary, the Hama Hama Oyster Saloon is more than just a restaurant; it's a destination. It's a place where you can savor incredibly fresh, locally sourced seafood in an unparalleled natural setting. It's a quintessential Pacific Northwest experience that you absolutely shouldn't miss. Highly, highly recommended

It was definitely worth my three-hour drive. I had a great experience and the food was excellent. The reservation includes a dozen raw oysters and a dozen grilled oysters, and most dishes are nicely seasoned.

My parents and I ate a delicious meal! We enjoyed our dining experience under the A framed hut with heater above the table to fight the chill in the air. The grilled cheese with Tillamook white cheddar, spicy tomato soup, grilled oyster platter, purple clams, and oyster basket with fries was a fantastic combination. The cheerful, helpful staff really enhanced the dining experience. We had a great time overall. It was a memorable outing for me and my parents!

What a great spot! If you are driving through Liliwaup or camping in the area at Dosewallips State Park (like we were), this is a must-do! After setting up our campsite, we headed South to Hama Hama Oyster Saloon (~20 Mins away) for some oysters and a beer. We did not have a reservation but arrived around 4:15PM as a walk-up party of 2 and they sat us at a covered table right along the beach (the best seat in the house!). We ordered 1/2 dozen of raw and 1/2 of roasted oysters and both were fantastic. Highly recommend for all seafood lovers - the oysters were fresh, atmosphere was relaxing, and beer was crisp. We spent about $60 including oysters, two beers, tax, and tip.

If your car is going to break down, this is definitely the place! My best friend and I had a breakdown just south of this place and it turned out to be a wonderful blessing. Adam and his team not only greeted us immediately and served us great food and beverages, but also allowed us to park our injured van and helped us find the right mechanic. The service here is some of the best I've ever ever seen bar none. The seafood can't be beat and they offer a wide variety of local beers and wines. Due to the off-season, I was having a hard time finding locally sourced seafood, but Hamma Hamma offers plenty of options! If you spot this little gem on the side of the road, stop by and enjoy the view. You won't be disappointed!

This was such a awesome and unique place! This restaurant sits on an oyster farm. You have a great view of the lake. You wait for them to assign you a tee pee like structure with your table. While you wait you can order food and drinks from the truck. It was raining when we went and they have a hot fire pit and heaters in the tee pee. They also have free blankets. The views were so relaxing and peaceful but the lake. The oysters, clams, seafood chowder, and grilled cheese were all good! The basil lemonade was also so refreshing. The staff is great and helpful. Definitely recommend for an adventure like lunch or dinner!

Food Truck Alert Hama Hama food truck now open at the Oyster Saloon. We brought my MIL here for an early Mother's Day treat the Saturday before Mothers Day. We had a reservation for a table but with their new food truck you can walk up with no reservations to get what's on the menu, no raw or shucked oysters. 10/10 get some chowder fries!

Full disclosure, I am by no means an oyster expert. I did enjoy the experience though and everyone was super nice and cheerful Came here with a few friends and we had made a reservation which is $75 and includes two dozen oysters. You can choose an assortment of raw or cooked as part of the deal. We did 6 cooked and the rest raw. TBH I actually enjoyed the chipotle butter cooked oysters we got more than the raw ones (blasphemous I know). However, I will say it was super interesting to taste the varying degrees of brininess in the 3 different oysters we were served. The oysters were in different sizes and tasted nice with just some drops of lemon juice. The seafood chowder was delicious and had whole pieces of oyster in it which made it pretty awesome bang for buck. Everything else seemed expensive, but decently priced given the freshness and size of the oysters. For someone who's not super into oysters but eats them it might be a tad too much, but again I enjoyed my meal. Apparently, February to early Spring is actually their best time for their oysters even though they're popular in summer time. It was definitely a bit cold and slightly rainy when we went, but there are complimentary blankets and the A frame structure has a heater on a timer. The workers come by and bus the tables for you periodically too. They also have a cute store where you can order other stuff as well as take things home. Overall worth a drive if you like oysters even just a little bit

Everything was just kind of okay. I had really high hopes since I was in from out of town. You shuck em oysters were good but small, chowder was okay, grilled cheese was good...I didn't realize they only have porta potties. The one I went into was nasty, but I'm glad they had an actual sink to wash your hands. Pretty view and pretty flowers though!

What a great spot! We just happened upon this on our way to a a hike and decided we should stop by on the way back home. We're so glad we did! This is such a cool environment and experience. Great seafood. We got raw oysters and roasted oysters, clam chowder, and crab cakes.

Always love Hama Hama, have been going for years. We went the Wednesday before Memorial Day. All of the staff were busting butts to get ready for the holiday. I really wish they had more extended hours for the saloon during the summer. Open maybe a weekday. Just not interested in weekend crowds at all.

First off it is worth the drive. I'm not sure if anyone is close to this spot but where else can you get fresh oysters only a few yards from where they were farmed. They have some a frames over picnic tables and in the winter some propane heaters. Just before Christmas they had a Santa and a craft market. Beverages include beer and soda hot chocolate and mulled wine. Restrooms are portable and they do have a sink towards the back. Parking is a gravel lot. You will order first and then you are seated. On the property is a market for Oysters Salmon and T shirts Great spot to share food. They have very good soups and grilled cheese

This is a destination spot in Washington and a place I strongly recommend for all seafood lovers. Similar to Taylor Shellfish off Chuckanut Drive this spot is along the water and all outdoors, very popular and has a market attached. We ordered some beers and our food at the counter and then the server let us know they would bring the food to us. One extremely nice thing about this place is they have outdoor heaters so we stayed warm even though it was a cold and rainy day on the day we dined here. They had a couple specials that we tried like the smoked salmon, which was solid but I wouldn't order it again given how good other items were, and the cheesy bread with the spicy clam marinara and that was amazing. It was so warm and comforting and hit the spot just right. We tried their seafood chowder which also was solid but I also wouldn't order it again as other items were just better and we tried both types of clams as well. One was the classic Manila clams with white wine, butter and garlic which was reliable and tasty but I actually preferred the Purple Savory clams which were in a halibut and yellow curry bone broth and it was so good to soak up the broth with the baguette. The star of the show was of course the oysters though. Both the roasted oysters with the chipotle bourbon butter and the raw oysters were my two favorite items. So fresh and so much flavor. You 100% need to always get some raw oysters at a place like this. Easily one of the best seafood spots in the entire state so if you are in the area you need to check it out!

Right off the 101 Hama Hama Oyster Restaurant opens on the weekend during off season but you can buy their daily menu and grab a tray of food/hang out at their outdoor seating. Friendly tourist spot and lovely view. Shop even suggested that we call n reserve an A-frame if we decided to dine in when the restaurant is open. They have these A-frame table set up that you can reserve. I wish a have gotten a picture of it. Super cute for a date night activity. We got 1 dozen you shuck oysters that were so fresh and delicious. There are shells when you are not good at shucking your own oysters but it's fun. We also got a seafood chowder and a potato and smoked pulled pork soup. It's a nice little place that I would visit again.

I was able to reserve a hut to celebrate my BF's birthday. The variety of oysters were good, limited beer selection but they were good. Also ordered the clams which was good. The staff were attentive and friendly. It was nice that there were heat lamps in the little huts. Definitely one of my favorite places.

Fun outside oyster spot! Make a reservation and you can get a cool A-frame shelter to enjoy your oysters. Summerstorms were my fave, very briny. The grilled oysters had an interesting and tasty sauce. Must visit if you stay at Alderbrook!

Truly affirmed a table experience. The oysters were super fresh. I love the selection. They served us when we went. I would highly recommend making a reservation if you want to sit in one of the cute A-frame tables. If you don't have a reservation, I would get there right when they open to snag a table otherwise, there may be a wait. We got there at 11 and left around 1230 and there was a huge line at the front. This is a little pricey for what you get but the quality and the experience were definitely worth it.

I've been going here for way too many years and this last time I have to say they've yuppified it wayyy too much. Servers are rude, even in the shop (which was the beginning) of this place not friendly or helpful at all. I get you've got to update and get the business but still be friendly.... Not like we're eating for free.... That being said I will just buy my oysters at Taylor and shuck my own

One of the coolest places I've ever eaten. The ambiance is amazing, we got to sit on a wooden bench that was covered with a heater a stones toss from the water. The food was excellent. The raw oysters were delicious and fresh and the baked oysters had such an amazing sauce cooked into them. The clams were amazing and my favorite was the seafood chowder.the service was also excellent, they kept coming back to check on us and bus our table. I would highly recommend this place to anyone, we drove from Seattle and stayed right down the road just to eat here and it was well worth it. I will for sure be back to eat more delicious food.

This is a must have experience! The line will get longer and longer so get there first (that's what we did) or make a reservation. We were pit-stopping in Hoodsport on our way up to Olympic when we stopped here, found out about it via word of mouth from friends who raved of their experience. Hama Hama is a very welcome break from home cooking if you're in the road and worth every penny given how remote this location feels from any real food scene. But THIS IS THE SCENE - just look at the view! We got the soup of the day, grilled cheese, a crab cake and two half dozen oysters (one fresh, one baked). I normally am not a huge fan of baked oysters but the sauce on these bad boys is an addiction. The staff seem really happy to be there and are attentive and friendly...They just know a lot about oysters and wants to tell you about them! The soup of the day was very strangely amazing. Some carrot thing that blew our minds in August of 2023. If the cook is reading this - that soup!!!

We stumbled upon the Hama Hama Oyster Saloon last Friday without a reservation and were lucky enough to snag a table. For anyone planning a visit, especially during the busy summer months or on a sunny day or holiday, I'd definitely recommend making a reservation in advance, as the place fills up quickly on the weekends! Our meal was nothing short of fantastic. We indulged in the tomato soup and the seafood chowder, both of which were rich in flavor and comforting on a chilly day. Of course, we couldn't pass up a dozen of their fresh oysters, which were the real highlight -- so fresh and perfectly shucked! The drive to Hama Hama was an experience in itself, scenic and utterly enjoyable. It set a wonderful tone for what was a delightful dining experience. Echoing other reviewers, the setting is not only beautiful but also relaxing, making our meal even more enjoyable. We absolutely plan to return to the Hama Hama Oyster Saloon. The food, the atmosphere, and the drive all make for a perfect getaway. Don't miss out on this gem if you're in the area or looking for a worthy culinary adventure!

We made a reservation, but you definitely don't need one on a rainy day. They have blankets for you, but it's still a little chilly in April. The grilled oysters were amazing, and so was the little baguette and butter served with it! I can imagine how nice it would be when it's sunny!

All star service. Super fresh seafood, you cannot go wrong with any of the meal options. The clam chowders and the Thai curry are very good, ask for a sample. The vibe and atmosphere is that of a chill, coastal, California beach town. Lots of tasty beers to choose as well and food/sodas for the kids!!

Hama Hama was an interesting experience. It was cool being a guest at a working oyster farm. I just wish there would have been more information about the farm itself. I would have loved it if they had tours. The visit didn't start great. The woman taking the additional food orders had a full on non-oyster conversation with the man in front of us. When they finally finished up, I was irritated. We were able to finally place our order and we found our table. The raw oysters were first. They were much saltier than oysters I've had before. They were stronger tasting, but not fishy, if that makes sense. The roasted oysters were so good! They were sweet, spicy, and smoky. Loved them! I thought the clams were just ok. The broth was pretty good for dipping bread into. Still, I wouldn't get these again. I really LOVED the brownies. So chocolatey and moist, with a sprinkling of sea-salt to keep each bite interesting.

The bad: The cashier was definitely standoffish. She had a stoic look (aka RBF) and an attitude like, "Ok, what do you want." as if I was inconveniencing her. She was so friendly and chatty with the groups ahead of us so it's obvious she doesn't take equality seriously. Yah, I ended up being the one to greet her. Um, where's my W-2 form and paycheck, hello? It was only until I listed off food items she paid attention. Look, a lot of the visitors didn't make that reservation and drive all the way here for BS service. At $5+ a gallon you would think that this restaurant would be better about treating guests. The good: Now I'm not about to talk S about the rest of the team because of one bad apple. The host greeted us warmly. The food runner was friendly and the busser was kind. The shell mountain was pretty cool and we took some photos. Food was great. Definitely worth the visit; I just hope you have a more pleasant experience with the cashier.

Finally made the trek out to Hama Hama (~2 hours from home) and had a great time! Tried a couple weeks in a row to get a reservation and was too slow, but was able to grab one after logging in right at 9 am on Monday when they open up. The reservation costs $75 and includes 1 dz raw oysters + 1 dz cooked, at the time of writing this those items come to $65. So you're paying $10 to avoid a wait and get a designated a-frame table. For me, I think it was worth it. I overheard a walk-in group get quoted around an hour for a table, and there is a little bar area and store where you can kill time, so really just depends on your preference if you think having the reservation is worth it. After ordering, getting seated, and taking in the view, the food began to come out pretty quickly. For 2 people we ordered the crab legs + clams in addition to the 2 dz oysters included in the reservation. It was the perfect amount of food for us and everything was delicious. I usually don't care for cooked oysters but these ones with the chipotle bourbon butter were so good I was very tempted to order a second round! I don't know if I'll ever be back on account of the distance but if I lived closer I think I'd be here all the time. Worth the trip if you live in the Seattle area - it's a fun experience :)

We made a reservation online for a $75 fee, which came with 12 raw and 12 grilled oysters. We got sat under a A frame with a picnic table, and our oysters arrived quickly. Some of our party stood in line for more food, and we got the clams, an extra baguette with butter, crab legs, grilled cheese with fir jelly, and clam chowder. The clams and grilled oysters were so delicious! The clam chowder was also really good. And the grilled cheese was very cheesy and good, the for jelly had an interesting taste and our group was divided. Some called it medicinal tasting and some really liked it. We also got beers and a craft of sangria which was tasty. The view on a sunny summer day was amazing and it was so nice to be outside and near the water.

A beautiful spot with delicious food and drinks! We had the crab, fresh oysters, seafood chowder and bourbon oysters. Employees were thoughtful and considerate- I even saw one being over treats and a water bowl for a couple of pups. The view is stunning, and the vibes are immaculate. Will definitely come again. The one downside is the abundance of bees. They seemed to really like the crab and swarmed as soon as our food came out. Employees suggest making a "food offering" of scraps and bowls once empty to draw them away. It sort of works, but don't be shocked if you have a couple of buggy friends hanging out with you.

A must see if you are in the area. Beautiful location, covered seating for foul weather, a great menu, blankets if you need them, and a friendly welcome. Food was fast and superb. The crème fraiche dip was not on the menu, a lovely surprise, with salmon roe, fresh herbs and an olive oil swirl, served with chips (not enough chips for amount of dip). Chowder was awesome, roasted oysters were amazing with a butter sauce, half shell were fresh and perfect, purple savory clams were delicious with a flavorful but not too heavy sauce. All excellent with a WA beer. Can't beat it. Reservation is really needed if you want the A frame picnic table, and costs about $80 (with tax) and includes the 2 doz oysters. But other tables are covered with tents, so there seems to be a good amount of seating. A fun experience that's very unique, you can walk near the oyster beds by the water and see seals hunting for trout (or salmon).

Favorite spot in all of Washington state. Go on a winter day. They have heat warmers, there's no wait. Summer days are impossible without a reservation. Reasonably priced. Amazing oysters. As fresh as you can get them. Such a fun experience right on the water. Regretted not getting more food when we did receive our order.

We recently stopped here coming back from Port Angeles to Olympia along the Canal. The Sun was out but Cold. You have to check in at the Hostest Stand. She gave us a Picnic Table out by the water but No Heater. Most other Tables had Propane Heaters. Anyway we finally got an A Frame with a Heater. We spent about $80.00 + on a dozen baked oysters, two beers, bowl of chowder & a side of bread. Interesting spot, but the Hostes really had an Attidude.

My SIL wanted to stop here on our way back to Olympia. It's right on the side of the highway so you can't miss it. Lots of signs too. Heading back to Olympia or going south, it's on the left side of the road. We arrived on a Friday around lunch time and it was busy but not too bad. We didn't make a reservation ahead of time and the wait for walkups was about 20 minutes. You can order drinks while you waited though. They only have one "booth" though for ordering - the front is for food and drinks for those who have a table ready. The side of that booth, is where you can just get drinks. There was one person, working to take the main orders but no dedicated person doing the drinks side so I had to wait a bit to get a drink. I ended up with a whit beer (on draft) but they have wine, canned beers and local sodas. Finally we were seated. And then you up to the aforementioned line to order your food and any more drinks. We ended up getting some U-shuck oysters, crab legs, clam chowder and the smoked pulled pork sandwich. The u-shuck version versus the already shucked had a small cost difference. And I would also say the U-shucks are not a pretty picture (for yelp) as it comes in a metal backet full of ice. It's not too easy to do but it's fun, I think. They give you all the tools - paper instructions, a shucker, towel, and a glove. Also we got some lemons and mignonette sauce. The oysters were definitely the star of this place. Salty and sweet and fresh and yummy. The crab legs are just steamed and served almost cold (slightly more than room temp.) They also tasted really fresh. The clam chowder was great too - creamy; full of clams and potatoes; some crunch due to the celery. Not the best I ever had but solid. We got the pulled pork, which was a special, for the hubby, who's not a huge seafood fan. I only tried a bit of the pork, which was flavorful. But the hubby seemed to like it and it was served with some coleslaw. I would say the atmosphere is why people come though. It's right on the bay/water. So pretty and it was sunny and breezy when we went. Walk-ins get to sit at picnic tables. But the reservations get to sit under these A-frame yurt-type structures. Super cute. They hade some hills with oyster shells, which is cute and something to stroll on. A must -eat stop when traveling through Washington.

Best fresh oysters we've had in WA thus far! The service was pretty good as they were friendly and attentive. I loved the ambiance and your party gets their own eating area making the experience more intimate with your family or friends and the view of the water is calming on a perfect sunny day. I would suggest going early when they open or bring some snacks as the wait for us on a Saturday was about an hour and a half. It definitely was worth the wait though and we will surely return again and recommend to family and friends.

What an amazing experience in the PNW. I've lived in the Seattle area for the last 6 years, why did it take me so long to check out Hama Hama?! We had a group of friends visiting from out of town in September and thought it was the perfect opportunity for a day trip. We reserved a table a week in advance per the directions on their site; took a little bit of coordinating as we had a group of about 10 and each table was max 6, but we made it work! When we ran into a bit of a snag and booked more tables than needed, we called and they were able to fix things right away. Now for the experience - while it's a little out of the way even for a trip to the island/south sound, it's the perfect location. We arrived about 15 mins before our reservation (which was at opening), and they seated us right away, even giving us options for where our two groups wanted to be seated. Love the setup of both A-frame and open seating. If you are an oyster lover, this is the place for you. We tried both the fresh and baked oysters - our whole group loved both options (my fave was def the bourbon bbq), and the lobster bisque was also the perfect companion on a somewhat brisk afternoon. Pair this with their carafes of sangria, friendly staff, the rustic feel and openness of being right on the water, and amazing company....a perfect Saturday afternoon. I will definitely be back with others (and this time we will bring our dog as it is very dog friendly!).

Stopped in on a ride north. A cute little spot on the water that was way busier than it looked in passing. We got a beer, ginger beer, and some chips so can't speak to the sea food but the everyone around seemed to enjoy it. Definitely planing on going back to try some food.

EAT BEFORE YOU GO!!! service is fair at best . Food was ok but nothing special. The view was the best part of the whole visit. They got my $$$ once but not again! We ordered grilled oysters with fries. There were 5 parties in the restaurant . It took an hour and 20 minutes to get food. Oops, tried to delete this after realizing I had the wrong place. Sorry, this is not for the Hama Hama oyster farm, but for a nearby restaurant. I've heard only positive feedback for the oyster farm.

This place is a MUST when in Washington! The chipotle bourbon butter roasted oysters are amazing!! We ordered a second round! The raw oyster were so tasty. The grilled cheese was a great compliment. I can't wait to go back

We really had fun here! The seafood was plenty and delicious, the drinks were great, and the atmosphere and people were nice. It was busy the whole time, so I recommend you go at a decent hour or the wait could be really long.

Fun place to have oysters and more. It is right on Hood Canal. The oysters are grown right there the mound of shell is there to prove it. There are A frame table shelter, fire pits, and more. The food is so fresh and the atmosphere is fun. Be prepared to wait unless you get reservations on the Monday before you arrive

We went the other day for the second or third time, and it was really not good this time. Roasted oysters were way over cooked and super dry, the $26 Dungeness crab cluster was around a quarter of a small Dungeness and super dry. This is very disappointing considering they're in season right now and can be purchased elsewhere for $15 for a whole crab. The crab and shrimp bisque lacked flavor and had no actual seafood in it. Overall, after driving over an hour to get here, I don't think we will be returning. Simply not worth the time or price when you can get similar product for cheaper and same quality. The quality is what really killed us this time. It was super low. Crab looked and tasted as though it was from the grocery store.

Great oysters. Walked in with a party of nine late on a Saturday. They were able to give us a table after a bit of a wait. Had small children who loved running on the oyster shell mountain. Fun afternoon

Food good, service good, outdoor great. Great time. A little pricey, the covered picnic bench table were cozy and warm with the space heater

It was squeaky bum time trying to get a reservation online, but i'm ecstatic that we did! The oysters, other food and beer were great. Our spot under an A-Frame on the water could not be beat. I cannot imagine a better setting on the water or a nicer day. Mahalo from Hawai'i

Heaven is a place on earth! If you love oysters, this is a must-go! Make a reservation on Monday at 9am on Tock the week you intend to go, and the rest is easy. The staff was super kind, bringing us multiple heaters on a chilly day and water for my friend's dog. And of course the food was amazing. Can't wait to come back!

Super cool place and the food is off the charts! The barbecued oysters with bourbon butter were so, so delicious and the crab cakes and chowder were amazing!
