Coffee
Mark M.

Downie's Café in Bay City, Oregon is the kind of small-town coastal gem that makes you grateful you wandered in. My first impression: the cleanest, nicest bathroom I've ever seen in an American diner! To the last bite, it's clear this is a place that takes pride in the details. I went for the Tillamook cheddar and ham omelette with a homemade biscuit and hash browns, while my soulmate had Eggs Benedict that was phenomenal even on English muffins, though I couldn't help imagining how legendary it would be served on their incredible homemade biscuits. The mixed greens that came with it were fresh, high-quality, and lightly dressed with olive oil and lemon, no bottled dressing shortcut here. I swapped toast for one of those biscuits and had to try the gravy. It was smooth, perfectly seasoned, and avoided that heavy, lumpy texture so many places serve. Out of curiosity, we ordered a pancake, and I'm glad we did. It was fluffy, flavorful, and clearly made from scratch, served with Tillamook butter. Everything tasted fresh, cooked in a butter-oil blend without the seed or vegetable oils that ruin flavor elsewhere. My only regret was skipping the seafood omelettes (shrimp or oysters), but with a four-hour drive ahead, I decided to save that for next time. If I had one small suggestion, it would be to upgrade the coffee, which was just okay compared to the food. Service from Sarah was outstanding, prompt, friendly, and exactly what you want in a place like this. The vibe was pure coastal Oregon: locals chatting, a cozy, no-frills dining room connected to a market, and a mission to feed you well so you can get on with your day. It's not something you'd find in Manhattan, and that's part of its charm. Five stars without hesitation. If you're doing a coastal Oregon trip, make this a stop, you'll leave full, happy, and already planning your return.

Go. Here. Best ranch I've ever had. Friend's burger was THICK. Even my beef round steak tasted like, well, a steak. Service was personable and friendly. A very small but super cute place, and I really hope you give it a try.

Downies inside before the rush.

The best diner on the Oregon Coast, bar none. The service is friendly, efficient and brisk. The food is absolutely outstanding, especially their signature cinnamon roll. It's a tiny hole in the wall place but manages to be clean, warm and inviting. Even the bathroom is emaculate.

Oyster breakfast was amazing.

Chicken fried steak and eggs

Stopped by on our way out of town and were so happy to get a table at this super cute little diner in town. The service was fantastic, everyone was super friendly, attentive and the food came out hot, fresh and quick. It was all delicious, and we were so glad we tried one of their giant cinnamon rolls. If you are in the area, this is a great little breakfast spot, you won't be disappointed.

Awesome oyster omelets, very crispy hash browns, and friendly service. It's small and popular so expect a wait if you don't get there early.

Tried the steelhead burger, chowder, calamari strips, tuna melt and sautéed shrimp- ALL DELICIOUS…read more Finally found a good seafood restaurant and will be back. Oh! The shrimp tacos are great also Just do not expect great ambience and you'll not be disappointed . I rated it generously but really I think I would give it 8 out of 10 due to the ultracasual atmosphere and the self serve aspects. I really think this coastal town needs a bit of class added. Not everyone is beach combing ALL the time while visiting.

My family and I were in town on vacation and were looking for some seafood. After a little bit of…read moreYelp research, we decided on The Fish Peddler. I'm almost a little sad that we picked this place first, because I don't know that any other place we eat at is going to be as good or better. This is a combination restaurant / fish counter. Don't let that discourage you from eating there. When we walked in, there was one table left. Always a good sign when a place is busy, especially during the off season. There's generally a reason why the other places are empty. In addition, there was no smell from the fish counter. A sign that everything is fresh. Honest, you really don't even notice there is a counter there once you sit down. We went with a half-dozen oysters on the half shell, Dominic's Fish and Chips, which is the fresh local catch of the day. Today it happened to be Rockfish, always one of my favorites, the Shrimp and Chips, and The Cioppino, which is a seafood stew. This has clams, mussels, fish, prawns, and crab in a tomato sauce. There's a decent selection of beer as well. First, I want to say these were some of the best oysters I've had, fresh out of Willapa Bay. We should have ordered a dozen or two. These came with some lemon and fresh horseradish. Try the horseradish! The oysters tasted great with nothing on them or with a little fresh horseradish. The fish was fried perfectly, golden brown, not oily, and not overcooked. You can easily tell this was fresh Rockfish. The shrimp were fried perfectly as well. The Cioppino was amazing! Again, all the seafood was prepared perfectly. But it was the flavor of the stew that really stood out. This is a dish not to be overlooked and tastes great on a cold day. The food here is outstanding! Though this is a combination market / restaurant, the atmosphere felt comfortable and inviting. The service was great as well. Everyone here was friendly. If you're looking for some great fresh seafood, the Fish Peddler is a must eat and there are plenty of items on the menu that can bring you back multiple times. Honestly, I hope we come back here before we leave town.
