Astoria's downtown lacked any visible breakfast places. This MCDs is brand new, the food was good, the service friendly. Driving through the downtown was quick, perhaps Astoria's only claim to fame is the movie "Goonies." Noelle's Notes Decent breakfast stop.

My nuggets and my husband's chicken sandwich were lukewarm warm which is highly annoying after waiting forever for our food. Would I come here again, sure if there was nothing else.

Our waitress kept our ice tea glasses filled, and it did not take long to get our order. Amazing views of the area. This is a great place to come to sit and look out on the water.

My absolute favorite place to take out of towners when they visit Astoria!!!…read more To describe the place; the easiest way I can, is to say "imagine if the movie set of the 1980's version of "Tron" was an actual place to hang out." Not quite historically accurate, but hopefully you get my point. Extremely ambient and super-dope lighting. Vintage arcade games. Draft beer and ciders. You have to walk down to the side steps of an old warehouse building to even access this place (immediately makes you feel cool). A really great dip-in back by the legendary Polybius arcade game, blanketed in teal overhead lights and shadows from the surrounding machines, that make for a quick and excellent makeout spot. Someone told me that, anyways. Not me. I would never. Ask for the code to access the bathrooms and you will be delighted, if you're a true nerd.

They have a ton of video games, especially pinball machines, which I love. I was excited to play them, but when I asked the bartender about it, she just explained how to scan a QR code and build an account in order to play them. it's really easy she said. Well, I scanned the code. built an account, created a password..etc. It was time-consuming. After I was done with all of that, I couldn't get the app to work on any of the games and I'm pretty good with technology. I couldn't find the bartender anywhere to ask her for assistance. So we had a beer, but I never got to play any games which I wanted to. Update. The owner response was very quick and I appreciate that in all businesses. They obviously take their business seriously so I added a star for that. I appreciate it. Thank you.

If you're going to stay by the water you should come here for two reasons..... 1 )the atmosphere is cool and relaxing with great music from the 70s - early 2000s, and an amazing patio (I came in a Sunday night and it was "slow" [what I expected from a Sunday night]) 2) the bartender is awesome.

Without a single clue what to do in Astoria (first time visitors), we parked for $10 in the Port of Astoria lot on the west side of town. It was a warm day, and we were hungry, so we took to Marine Drive to look for breakfast and this was the first place we saw. It says they serve it all day. I don't think they have their own lot but street parking doesn't seem to be a premium here. Later on, we discovered that this place also made the vet staff's recommended list which was a happy coincidence. It says on the door that they don't have public restrooms, which they don't, but they do have a men's and women's restroom for customers. Nice ambiance with the nautical theme and some slot machines (is gambling legal in Astoria?). I particularly liked the piece they took from a real ship called Raven and perched a fake raven on it on the wall. Makes the little goth in my heart happy. You order at the bar and the lady who took it wasn't the friendliest. P told me in retrospect that service was slow and she had a bit of an attitude when I asked him whether this place warranted a 4 or 5. I guess she did, but all I noticed was how good the food was! The workers breakfast for $14 is outstanding! The sausage patty is luscious with a nice bite of heat. They make your eggs perfectly and they cook their potatoes skin on in a skillet that leaves the edges with a nice crisp flavorful crust. You need the toast (we both ordered dry wheat) to mop up the egg and eat with the sausage to fill you up. Honestly, haven't had a breakfast where every single element of it was all of great quality. Plus, it's an almost perfect portion of food. I know I want to go back if I can just convince P to ignore the attitude. Another cool local hangout. There was a jolly bunch of older men drinking, laughing and chatting that provided an awesome soundtrack to our visit.
