We love visiting Lincoln City, during this trip we noticed a new Cafe called The Otis Cafe, we had to stop by and give it a try. As you drive up you cannot help to notice the red building with a classic Old Cafe sign off HWY 101. They have a unique story, the original Otis Cafe was located in the City of Otis in the 1920s, named after the Post masters nephew. They have ample parking in their own private lot, as you walk up to the building and the main entrance, they have outdoor seating. Key finding, depending the time you arrive you may be waiting a bit to get in, they seem to be very popular with good reason. Once inside you will notice a very open seating area, with various booths and table seating options. They make fresh bread, we could not resist we took home a loaf of homemade bread it was very tasty. The staff greet you as you walk in, it has a very friendly vibe, the staff cycle through the building repeatedly checking in with its customers throughout your visit. The food options are plentiful, also note their portions are huge. We finally decided on an Omelette with veggies and ham, with a side of bacon and German potatoes with wheat sourdough. We also ordered the French toast with Fruit, an egg, another huge portion of food ample for two or three. The food was served warm, to our options and extremely tasty. The bacon was huge, well cooked, the Omelette and potatoes were perfectly cooked, I really enjoyed the Omelette and bacon. We are still working through the French toast, we took 3/4 of it home with us. Some recommendations, review the menu, be ready to order they are fairly busy and turn tables quickly. This is a must try spot during your next visit to Lincoln City. read more

Otis Cafe for breakfast a must while in Lincoln City. Nice atmosphere inside. Service staff was great and they looked and acted like they enjoyed their jobs. The food is good and very plentiful. Way too much if you are traveling and can't take half your meal home. So we enjoyed their food, but felt bad that we couldn't eat it all and it had to be wasted ( we were unable to take leftovers with us). The pancakes are enormous and tasty. Loved the chorizo scramble (they recommend the molasses bread but we weren't wild about it). The eggs Benedict ( southern style) had a large biscuit, sausage and egg. Heeping helping of hash browns. All good but could use more gravy as it got a bit dry. Would like the option of two over easy eggs which would bring a little more moisture to the dish. Overall we were happy with breakfast, but a bit too full. read more

IDK, where to start. Why did we wait half an hour to get in for a table?? My sister liked her german potatoes and omelette, Bypass the Molasses Bread, choose a biscuit (good) or the sourdough wheat (good). Forget the nasty buttermilk pancake with stringy high-fructose corn (MAPLE-Ha!) syrup. Table of 6, expect to have a mandatory 20% tip added to your bill without asking. Our table paid approx. $32 tip for BREAKFAST@! NAH. I won't go back, nothing to go back for. read more

Cute place. It's small and fills up fast and I can definitely see why. The portions are generous and the food tastes great! Prices were reasonable. Sourdough wheat bread is made fresh and you can purchase a loaf to take with you (great if you're staying at the coast a few days). We ordered the redneck Benedict with a side of bacon and an omelette. Fantastic choices! Of course we both upgraded our hashbrowns to the German potatoes because who doesn't love Tillamook white cheddar and onion in the mix! The pies looked amazing and the cookies four for a dollar, I couldn't pass up. If you're thinking of trying this place, do it! They also have daily specials. Great service, tasty food and left happy! read more

Still a 5-star in my opinion. I will start by saying everything tasted good and the portions are more than adequate. I am stuffed. That said this was the "worst" plate I've had. I got French Toast and added a side of 2-eggs and a sausage patty. Eggs were slightly overcooked in that the yolk was starting to solidify on one. The sausage patty was tasty and had good spices without being over the top but it was slightly dry. I got the small size regular French toast made with their whole wheat bread. It was one thick slice cut into four points and had great flavor. The only downside was that only one point had soaked long enough to get that custard-like interior making the other points a bit on the dry chewy side. This is just nit picking but an honest opinion. Friendly service and the overall good food keeps me coming back. read more

I can't visit Lincoln City without dining at Otis Cafe, restaurant with hard working staff that cares about great service & food, the way restaurants, especially the local mom & pop places used to be. So much enthusiasm covering each customer, genuine hospitality & smiles, and tastes that really pop. I love their breakfast but got in around noon so ordered a cheeseburger and wow, homemade bun, fresh ground beef, fresh tomato & lettuce topped off with Tillamook white cheese, it was perfect. They didn't have fries, must not have a fryer, but their German potatoes is something else, hash browns with sweet & green onion topped with Tillamook white cheese that I did not dare cover with my usual ketchup. It was busy, which I'm happy for the establishment that they are doing great business, can be a little too noisy but that is the price to pay for going to a great restaurant, plus I always love taking home a loaf of their sourdough wheat bread & a couple shakers of their own seasoning for my own grilling. read more

Came in here with my partner while we were visiting the coast. She recommended it very highly. She wasn't wrong. At first glance I thought the prices for the sandwiches were a bit high. I ordered a BLT. When it came, it was LOADED with bacon (and all of the other toppings were generous as well). Well worth the price. And their in-house made bread is really good. Got their seasonal soup (gazpacho). It wasn't the best gazpacho I've ever had, but it was still really tasty. The service was top-notch, and it was a delight to see how great all of the workers at the place were with each other. Everyone was constantly thanking each other and the manager was super nice to all of his people. Made for a wonderful atmosphere in the restaurant. I would definitely come back here. read more

The only con about this place is how busy it gets! BUT it's for good reason. The food here is awesome! Come hungry and expect hearty portions. My family and I all left very full. Even though it was busy, the waiters were attentive and did a great job checking in sporadically throughout our meal. Definitely pay this place a visit! read more

We like to visit the coast and always look for a new spot to eat while we're there. We have heard of the Otis Café, but never got a chance to get there. We he finally got to go this last time to Lincoln city and we definitely need to go back again the next time we go to the coast. We were really hungry so we decided to go for breakfast one morning. I ordered the white cheddar and ham omelette and my husband ordered a quarter order of the German potatoes. I also substituted my hashbrowns for the German potatoes. Best decision ever. Otis café was quite busy, but we were able to get seated in a decent amount of time. Service was friendly and food came out hot. Let me tell you the German potatoes were the best. My husband ordered a quarter size and it almost took up the whole plate. I can't imagine what a full order of that would it look like. Food was wonderful and when we went to check out at the register, I noticed that they have in-house products that they sell. First one I saw was the mustard, and I took a chance and we bought two of them to take home with us. We also bought a loaf of bread that they bake in house and seasoning salt that was on the tables that we tried beforehand and was delicious. When we got home we tried the mustard with some meat sticks that we had and that mustard has to be the best mustard ever. I think I'm gonna have to go back to the coast just to buy that mustard again. Bread was delicious. We used it for sandwiches and toast and the seasoning salt is just so good. It goes on just about everything. It has a different flavor than anything I've ever tried. It must be the all of the herbs that they put in it because it was amazing. So the next time anybody is in Lincoln city I would highly recommend checking out Otis, café food was outstanding. read more

This is a small (15 tables) local breakfast and lunch hotspot! They will get you in, and out in a very short amount of time, like 35 minutes. The atmosphere is loud and happy and seems to be filled with locals, which in my opinion is a good thing. The service was exceptions from the hostess, to server and bus person. All working hard to please! The food was better than average. I ordered some scrambled eggs with pancakes. The eggs were real eggs and fluffy, the pancakes were enormous! A bit yeasty for my taste, but my husband liked them! Overall, a good experience, but not a place to have a quiet cup of coffee at 10:00 am on a Tuesday on June 2nd. read more

We stopped here for the first time this last week. It was a Wednesday morning, not too busy, no wait for seating. There were three of us that ordered- 1 Jose omelet, side of 2 pancakes, Chorizo breakfast plate. The pancakes are big! I love that the omelets are two egg omelets, made with real eggs, not liquid eggs, and comes with real hashbrowns, not dehydrated, and homemade bread. Loved that the hashbrowns were not greasy. Everything we tried was delicious. We'll be back again! read more

WOW, this is the way a restaurant should be run! Have driven by several times and the parking lot is ALWAYS full and People waiting outside. We came in at 11 AM on a Tuesday, parking lot full and folks waiting outside. Gave them our name and told us 45 min, YIKES!! In less than 15 minutes we were in and in less than 15 min more we had our food... The table were CLEAN, not sticky, fully stocked with salt and pepper, jellies, napkins, silverware and condiments. Jorge, our server was one of the best servers anywhere and extremely attentive to all our wants and needs. We ordered coffee, ice tea, Chicken Fried Steak and with sausage gravy, eggs, hash browns and sour dough toast, Chorizo Scramble and two cinnamon rolls to take home. UPDATE, THE CINNAMON ROLLS WERE OUTSTANDING, very large!!!!!!! Everything came from the kitchen in no time, was hot and delicious. So much food with the Chicken Fried steak (so tender could cut it with a fork) had to take it home in a to go bag. We arrived at the restaurant at 11AM, waited, seated, ordered, ate and left at 12 noon. This is a well run operation, the staff was constantly cleaning, setting up new tables, bringing water coffee etc. NOT ONE EMPLOYEE WAS STANDING AROUND, they were busy little bees. They turn a lot in tables in an hour!!! Rated a 4 because my eggs were over cooked and toast was not toasted very much. read more

The wait was very long, maybe around 30 to 40 minutes for a party of 4 around 11am. If you want to get a table fast, I'd recommend going earlier. Food was AMAZING. Portions are extremely large (for example, my half order of potato's could've fed like 2 people). Very cute interior, cute decorations. Feels like a local staple. Staff was very friendly! read more

I arrived as a party of 2 around 9:30 on a Tuesday, was seated around 9:45, and got our food around 10:00. So pretty quick service for a busy cafe! The staff is absolutely the sweetest and seemed very enthusiastic. They checked in on us just the perfect amount-- not too frequent or infrequent. They seemed proud of the food and service they provide, which I appreciated. The cafe felt very typical homey diner and I thought it was very unique that they have/sell their own seasoning blend and ceramics. Clean and tidy. German Potatoes 5/5 I ordered a HALF order of German potatoes with an egg and bacon. And oh my goodness, this was so much food. The dish arrived and stayed hot during the entire time I was eating. They really piled on the bacon and cheese and it balanced the potatoes well. I loved adding their seasoning salt to the potatoes! Biscuits and Gravy 5/5 We ordered a full order and originally thought it would only be two biscuits. So imagine our surprised when SIX GIANT fluffy biscuits smothered in gravy came out! I genuinely felt like this one dish could've fed a family. The gravy was thick and full of flavor. The biscuits were fluffy and huge. The total was around $33 which is an absolute steal for basically 4 portions of amazing food. I would love to visit again if I'm ever in town. read more

The food here is great and the service is fair. The worst thing about this place is it's too busy. Sometimes hard to get seated without waiting quite a bit. The prices are a little high but they are so busy I guess they can change more. They are one of the few places I've had a good black bean burger. Breakfast is really good too. read more

Yum! Such a busy little restaurant where every single table was full and the minute one wasn't it was immediately cleaned and filled. We got our food almost immediately and it was super fresh and flavorful. I love that I can get hashbrowns with my burger here although the shape of the hashbrowns was unusual. Overall delicious and worth it! read more

I even stopped back by on my way out of town to get more bread to share with friends and family. read more

I got the special which was banana French toast and it was the best French toast I have ever had! Tasted like banana bread. My fiancé got the breakfast with eggs, bacon, toast, and hash browns and that was also so yummy! read more

Otis is a must try if you're visiting or even new to the area! Their food is amazing and served in perfect portions! Their bread is made in house and is a must!! Sometimes we even take a loaf home. I live over an hour away and have to go at least once a month because the food is just that good! To top it off, their service is amazing with friendly and kind staff who make it easy to return! The ambiance inside is open and bright, especially on sunny days because of the large windows. Beware: if you order the German Potatoes that a full order is MASSIVE!!! For context, I only order the quarter order for myself. Definitely recommend, 10/10! read more

Otis Cafe is hands down the best brunch spot in Lincoln City. It does get busy really fast, but it's absolutely worth the wait. Thankfully, we arrived at the perfect time and didn't have to wait long at all. Our order was taken shortly after we were seated, and compared to others around us, our food came out pretty quickly. The service was great and efficient. We ordered the chicken fried steak with sausage gravy, sunny-side-up eggs, molasses bread, and subbed the hash browns for their famous German potatoes. The chicken fried steak was seasoned to perfection--crispy on the outside while still juicy on the inside. The sausage gravy was very flavorful; you truly don't need to season this dish at all. The German potatoes are essentially Tillamook cheese with onions and green onions on top. I'm not usually a big cheese fan, so it was a bit much for me personally, but we wanted to try it--and I did love the onions mixed in. We also shared one sourdough pancake, which surprisingly was so yummy and just the right size for sharing. Everything was super flavorful, the portions were huge (even sharing, we couldn't finish everything), and the prices were very reasonable--around $31 total for all of this. We would definitely come back and highly recommend Otis Cafe to anyone visiting Lincoln City. read more

Service was so quick and friendly! The tables are pretty close together but it wasn't loud. While I appreciate the time they take to make their potatoes and bread our potatoes weren't as crispy as expected. We took the left overs home and they were better the next day. The bread is very thick but come already over buttered. I'll ask for dry next time. My made to order veg omelet was so full of broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, and spinach was so good! His ham and cheese omelet was overflowing with filling. read more

10/10 my favorite brunch spot in the city. Their cinnamon rolls are absolutely amazing, and famous for a reason. They run out fast so grab them early on while you can Their German potatoes are very filing, delicious and their portions are generous. This was a half order and I still couldn't finish in one go lol Their service was top notch even with the rush. I loved that our waitress gave good recommendations and told me to get a half instead of a full as it is a big portion. Great location with a nice view read more

Ok-don't judge! This is our 2nd trip here & it's consecutive! We just couldn't resist! Today we ordered the Biscuits & Gravy, Bread Pudding French Toast, & a side of that thick, delicious bacon! Again- we loved our meals! The biscuits aren't just "huge"- they're almost 3 inches thick & the size of manholes! The french toast was super dense & sweet-almost unforkable with the whipped butter & syrup on top! Today we observed a steady stream of people waiting before & after us to be seated & a steady flow of traffic turning into the parking lot! However, we only waited 10 minutes to be seated. read more

So it's been several days since I've visited and I can't stop thinking about those tasty German potatoes I had. After driving down the coast, I popped in around closing time to grab a bite. Seems like a nice spot to grab breakfast dishes. It wasn't crazy busy and they still seated a couple people even though it was nearly 2. Host was super nice and accommodated my take out order. I got a 1/4 order of the German potatoes, and added bacon crumbles/bits. Although it's a 1/4 order, it was a hefty portion. Potatoes and onions smothered in white cheddar and topped with bacon bits and green onions. I honestly was not expecting it to be anything special but it was very delicious and hit the spot!! I would definitely go back and enjoy a meal at Otis Cafe. read more

Well we are spending a couple days in Lincoln City. So, we thought we would try Otis Cafe. It was busy for a weekday morning, and we made our order of biscuits and gravy with hash browns. We got fresh coffee and water, and our waitress was very attentive. We got our order a few minutes later. So we were eating and both thought were is the biscuits? So we continued eating and no biscuits . We went on to eat a little more and were both puzzled we had no biscuits. I asked my wife did she want to bring it up to the waitress and she decided not too. We both realized this was too much carbs and ate very little. We went and paid for our breakfast and my wife brought up the concern to the cashier who was a little condesending over the discussion about not getting biscuits . She came across as though it was not the servers mistake it was ours. She did nothing to correct it by offering some resolution to make our experience better. We did not spend much but it was the attention to the customer interaction that could have been so much better. We looked at other tables and the food looks good. The cost is not too bad. What could have been done better is the waitress could have explained if you order this it only comes with this item so if you want another option here is xyz . Yeah we missed it on the menu that it is either biscuits and gravy or gravy and hash browns which is what we got. Would I recommend yes will I go back no. So you be the judge and read the menu carefully because you may get something that you don't want and you cannot rely on the waitress to correct you . Yours truly the food reviewer. read more
