They lure you in with delicious samples! I've never had better smoked seafood in my life! Looooved the cold smoked items and the hot smoked scallops are to die for!
The smoked salmon sandwich was to die for. Bought some salmon jerky as well and it was delicious. Will be back again for sure!
This is a lovely over 100yr old quaint smokehouse specialising in delicious salmon, with tasty condiments to go with. The staff are friendly with small samples of salmon to taste and are very receptive to questions about the history of Astoria. I had my first ever salmon burger on a brioche and it was scrumptious. I can't wait to visit again and I strongly suggest this as a place to eat while in Astoria.
Wonderful salmon products, from sealed (chilled) smoked or brined (lox) salmon to canned products.
You can also dine in - they serve fantastic lox on bagel, salmon burger and New England Clam Chowder.
Very friendly service.
Must stop! The smoke in the salmon is amazing. Not too much, just right. We had the lox bagel and sat inside. The staff is awesome too! 🙌 We loved the smoked salmon so much we bought smoked scallops and cod to-go. I can’t wait for our next trip to Astoria to visit again!
Excellent beer selection and very chill bive. This place is of the main strip so a lot quieter. The customer service is amazing and you can bring your own food and just buy the beers or wine there and enjoy the rest of the evening. They have sports on TVs, pool table, Nintendo WII console, and tables you can sit and enjoy your food and brews. I highly recommend this location.

Hungry? The Salmon Burger at Josephson’s is a solid choice. The burger is fried to order, always hot and fresh. They’ve just added new condiments and I’m so impressed! Fresh cucumbers, pickle spears, and the pickled onions & cucumbers are a perfect accompaniment (a pleasant balance of pickling spice, warm and comforting but NOT spicy hot, it was great!) Small interior dining area may not be ideal but I was able to maneuver moms walker into the corner. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Please make a point to stop in…and their chowder is one of the best in the area!
My family can't visit Astoria without a visit to Josephson's Smokehouse. My wife likes the clam chowder and I'm a fan of the bagels and lox. We moved away from Oregon for 20 years and talked about Josephson's while we lived elsewhere, and made it a point to return as soon as we moved back. Do yourself a favor and stop in for lunch. Check out the fun gift shop while you're there.
The salmon lox bagel was incredible, with a bunch of options in lox flavors. The chowdah (I'm from New England. I have expectations...} was just 'ok'... Until the salmon was added on top, which made it really really good. So get the chowder w/salmon, but not just the chowder.
Very friendly staff. Walked out with quite a bit of really really good smoked salmon.
Incredibly nice people serving and explaining the fish. The flavor and tenderness of the fish is extraordinary. Would definitely recommend a stop here.
I stopped in to get a birthday gift for my dad, he loves smoked fish. The selection was surprising and so tasty! I tried the salmon selections and fell in love with the wine-basil salmon. The staff was personable and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
If you like lox...this place provides an authentic experience in a historic setting. Check it out! Seating inside is limited to 2 tiny tables so be prepared to venture out to the picnic tables or take your smoked salmon to go. I loved it that they ask if you want onions and capers in advance since I'm not an onion fan. Grab some salmon jerkey to go as well!
