Indoor seating area
Cesar D.

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.

Usually tons of people waiting to get in.

The service is top notch!! The entire crew busts their butts. It was very busy but they continued to crank out the food. They work as a team, which I love. Helping each other out to provide an excellent experience. I got the chorizo scramble with half &half bread. Came with delicious hash browns. I also got a side of bacon which was the best! Get the bacon... you won't be sorry. My husband got an omelette with ham,cheese, and onion and upgraded to the German hash browns and they were delicious. The bread is homemade and delicious. We also got some chocolate chip cookies to go and they were amazing. You will probably be stuffed but do yourself a favor and take home some cookies.

Cheese omelet with German potatoes
Darren O.

Always a favorite! Went this morning- great service, grest food, great coffee and fresh baked bread. My wife had the cinnamon roll French toast. So good! Love this place, and they are one of the reasons we come to Lincoln City!

Chocolate chip cookies

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!

Large Slice Of French Toast Two Eggs, Any Style Sausage Patty
Ruth B.

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.

Ham & Tilamook white cheese omelette, German potatoes, sourdough wheat toast, coffee, & clear water, even orange slice & parsley sprig tasty

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.

Omelet, hash browns and black bread.

Boy have I missed the molasses bread! I had no clue they had moved to Lincoln City, but so happy to know where they are now. Suburb customer service, food came out quickly and in abundance. Great spot for breakfast and lunch, go hungry and don't skip the Black Bread!!

house made mustard

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.

"the Original" Otis Cafe's Famous World-renowned German Potatoes
Amy L.

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.

Our server opened our bottle of wine, the appetizers came out in a timely manner and I have to say, the calamari was cooked perfectly.  However,  when the main dish came out, the fish with shrimp on top, we bit in to the shrimp and it was completely overcooked. Such a disappointment after the calamari.  We took the shrimp and put them on a small plate and placed it at the end of the table. We continued to eat figuring someone will stop and ask about the shrimp but no one did. Several employees walked by and one even stopped and picked up dishes but never asked about the shrimp.  The server finally came around and and asked about dessert.  It was then that we spoke to him about the shrimp.  We were told that he can take it off the bill or use the amount towards a dessert.  It was definitely a disappointment.  In this situation,  I've normally experienced a manager to stop by but that wasn't the case here. Im not sure if it is protocol in your establishment or not.  Thank you for your time

Host seemed to be moving in slow motion, perhaps to pace the settings with the servers needs. There is a big open dining room, with all long tables. Lots of windows.There is a lot of wasted space when they seat parties of two at picnic tables designed for eight. We would have happily shared a table to speed up the seating process. But the service was prompt and efficient to start, and shortly we were placing our orders. There were some great options and husband chose the bouillabaisse and a shrimp side salad. Huge bowl of seafood in a rich salty broth. This was not a traditional preparation but quite excellent nonetheless. Not sure shredded Parmesan belongs on top here, but ok. Big chunks of fish, oysters and clams. The salad was ordinary, I think their blue cheese dressing is just ranch with a little cheese mixed in. The bay shrimp topper is pretty standard on the coast. I ordered the blackened salmon protein bowl, and loved it completely. Appreciate no upcharge for blackened seasoning. The bowl had cauliflower rice and avocado with some shredded cabbage and carrots to boot. The creamy dressing was perfect and I ate every last bite of this bowl. Thank you for having a low carb GF option like this on the menu, it was just right for me! There was some delay in getting the check and payment handled, server was very busy. I think this huge restaurant has a lot going for it, and I can see why the chain prospers.

My friend and I tried FOUR…read moredifferent places before finally landing at Wildflower Grill, and at that point we agreed: no matter how long the wait, we were getting breakfast here. And wait we did - about 45 minutes to be seated. By the time we sat down, I was starving and ready to order immediately. I had the Benedict Florentine, my friend ordered the seafood omelet but substituted salmon for the seafood (for an additional charge), and we split the French toast. Despite how packed the restaurant was, our food came out surprisingly quickly. What impressed me just as much as the food was the service. Our waitress was also hosting, yet somehow remained incredibly kind, attentive, and on top of everything. She checked on us several times, and the bussers were just as wonderful - clearing plates and refilling water without us ever having to ask. You could tell this was a well-run operation where everyone worked together. Now, THE BREAD. Oh. My. Gosh. I am not a big bread person. I can go months without eating it and not think twice. But whatever bread they served with my Benedict Florentine was OUT OF THIS WORLD. So light, soft, and delicious that I genuinely don't know what they did to it. Put an entire loaf in front of me and all bets are off. You've been warned. Everyone raves about the French toast, and yes, it was very good - but honestly? The bread itself impressed me so much that part of me thought it was almost a shame to toast it! Between the beautiful setting, great food, and a staff that handled an incredibly busy morning with such ease, Wildflower Grill was absolutely worth the wait. Definitely one to check out while you're in Lincoln City!

I called in breakfast to Hilltop so we could pick it up to go to the beach. The lady on the phone was very nice. It was 10 minutes to pick up. I ordered: French toast , 3 big pieces cut into 6 triangles for $11.95 with fresh straberries for $5.50 ( they were out so I got sliced bananas also $5.50 ouch). Came with two containers of not real maple syrup and one of whipped butter. French toast was soft but hot and pretty tasty. Dining companion ordered the 2 egg breakfast with bacon for $17.95. His eggs were scrambled, he got some hashbrowns, 2 pieces of sourough toast, and 3 or 4 pieces of thick but not crispy bacon. There were no jam or ketchup packets provided which made him a little sad. I cannot speak to their coffee because we got espresso at Human Bean and took the lot to the beach. This was a decent breakfast overall. If you order takeout ask for condiments ( oh and utensils and napkins we didnt get those fortunately I had some in my car). Sorry I forgot to take pics. .
