Moments later she came back with the Breakfast menu. The breakfast did not disappoint in anyway! Eggs Sunnyside, Bacon extra Crispy. 3 satisfying pieces of French toast. Located in a cute downtown with quite a few Antique stores and a place called Mill Pond which is a great history piece for locals but a must check out. Coffee from the Black Bear coffee company was delicious. I chose the Bull Buckner medium roast. Overall. Staff was attentive and very nice.

The service was lacking, one of there staff members has a horrible attitude. He seems like he doesnt even want to be there. The restaurant is dirty. There's dust and greasy fingerprints everywhere. The carpet is stained with cobwebs in the corners. I overheard someone talking about ants in their soda last time they were in, so I didn't get a beverage. This feels like a local spot that caters to a regular crowd and isn't very accommodating to out of towners. I guess we should stick to what's on the main street.

The staff do a great job of turning tables so the wait is not as long as you would think. The waitress was so kind and friendly and brought us coffee and green tea and then took our order. My husband ordered the biscuit and gravy and said it was the best he had ever had! The bacon was thick and perfectly cooked. The special was French toast but with a banana nut bread that made it feel like a dessert! The sausage was just as great and gave that perfect balance of salty sweet. We plan on returning the next time we head up that way.

The service was amazing, the food was delicious, and the whole experience was wonderful. I loved the atmosphere there. Everyone was friendly and attentive to all our needs. I was very happy with our waitress, as I tend to drink a lot of water, and she was always right there to fill my glass when it was empty. After we finished our lunch, we went into your gift shop. Oh, my goodness, there were so many awesome things to choose from. I purchased an adorable calico kitty stuffed animal. She was so soft and huggable. Sadly, somewhere between there and home, I lost her. I went on your website to purchase another one to replace it and could not order from the website. that was the ONLY downfall I found with this place. I recommend everyone to eat here on your way to or from the beach. We will certainly be back for more food and souvenirs! Thank you again for the amazing service we received. Mr. & Mrs. Scott Fuge

I don't like or eat fish, I was picking up an order for someone else. Despite my aversion to fish, as I sat alone in the car with the order, I smelled it. It smelled intoxicating. It really got my belly rumbling. However, my fiance, the rightful recipient of the fish and chips; told me it was delicious with a mouthful of halibut. Unprompted. I heard the slaw here was very good. I ate the slaw that came with her order. The slaw is beyond "very good". This is a masterclass in slaw. Bright, fresh, crunchy, and flavorful. This is a mature and civilized slaw. I drank the slaw water at the bottom of the little cup when I was finished. This is embarassing to admit but I don't regret doing this. I would do it again. Encouraged by how delicious the slaw was, I stole a fry from my darling when she was not paying attention. It's not fair to compare a french fry to a bite of serious slaw. But compared to other fries I've had, this fry is a well regarded and seriously respectable fry. Even after steaming in the takeout box during the short drive, and cooling to near room temperature before I managed to steal one, this fry held its crunch. The fry was flavorful enough to stand quite well on its own without dipping. A very yummy fry. As I type this review I'm thinking about the best way to pilfer more fries before they're all gone. Exceptional food. I won't allow this to be our last visit.

Sounds like fun and tasty so we left early on Saturday morning. We splashed in and played for a few hours. After getting out of the water we walked to the food cart restaurant on the bank of Nehalem river. When we walked up there was a sign "Waiting Time One Hour". Ok! It's a three day warm winter weekend so many people headed to the coast. We ordered beer and chatted away the time. This is a good food cart, outside seating on the river on the sunny day. The cart is associated.with the roadside store in the downtown. The back of the store has a covered deck with tables in case it rains. Prices are high, for three piece halibut with a dab of coleslaw and overcook cold french fries was $32. My friend had the three-piece cod for $26ish. My friend really wanted to try this place and she enjoyed the cod. I, on the other hand, have had better with Moore sloth and fries at other places on the coast., But you're here, right. You're on a mini vacation, just enjoy the warm winter day and nice food.
