I'm sure this will not come as a surprise to the folks that are local to this area, but this is as good and old style diner as there is. I dropped in for breakfast about 830 on a Thursday morning, and the place was wall-to-wall so I grabbed a seat at the counter ... my favorite table in a diner. Immediate service from behind the counter, even though she had several tables out front and a coffee pot in one hand. As she delivered the menus, she went through the specials, which included a couple of items with chorizo sausage that almost made me change my order. I ordered a very generous ground sirloin, Patty and three fried eggs, skipped the potatoes and toast and subbed a beautifully cooked pancake and a fresh fruit bowl. While I waited for my food, not very long, I got a chance to watch the short order cook work the griddle, and what turned out to be one of the owners work four pans on the cooktop making eggs. There's a certain raw beauty to watching a short order cook on a griddle. It was clear watching people come and go, that most are locals. Over half the customers I saw come in greeted by name and their drink order put on the table without them, even having to say anything. Clearly, this place has an amazing following and the owner confirmed it's out the front door on weekends. What an awesome way to start my morning in Coos Bay. read more

How could a dive like this get any better? I don't know! This place is epic! Old mis-matched furniture, sweet waitresses, packed with people - this place is a goldmine! Breakfast and lunch only, closed at 2pm. Outdoor seating with heaters, and the kind of place that oozes culture. They make their own (super secret) pancake topping. Food looks great, what a find as we pass through Coos Bay, OR. read more

Was driving all over running errands.. 500lbs of laundry handled, 90% of my bills paid. Now I'm hungry. Like a moth to a flame I felt drawn to the stockpot.. I was on the totally opposite end of north bend.. but I had to go and was glad I did. First, I really thank them for being one of the only restaurants in the area that carries Coca-Cola . I heard the whole story about how Pepsi screwed them over and how Coke was more than willing to take their business and has been a great business partner with them.. I ordered the Denver omelette with hashbrowns and a pancake and I gotta say it was a great breakfast at a great price.. service was excellent. They refilled my Coke about five times with a smile each time. I was sitting at the bar and some old guy despite all the seats being empty came up and sat right next to me which I found unusual at first, but then I realize this is his normal spot and I am just a guest here. He ended up being a not only a cool guy but also a Purple Heart recipient which humbled me. he can sit next to Me anytime. Food was delicious. I will be back. read more

Started off okay, got some coffee and a soda pretty quick and then we waited for a good 20 mins to be served... no one acknowledged us, a few times we got a few glances our way but they just turned away and kept serving / cleaning up.. very dissappointing, we left without being served Or even ordered. normally they're pretty good but this time it felt like we were disregarded. read more

Amazing!!!! Have lived in Central OR for four years and have never had such amazing perfect delicious HOT biscuits and Gravy, perfect hashbrowns! You know how biscuits and gravy gets cold half way through usually?? Well not this place! Piping hot the whole meal like magic, fresh biscuits the gravy was perfect not giant gross sausage pieces. Anyway we went to this place because we stayed at near by hotel and it was superb and the service was so so fantastic! Sara was so so sweet like a kind grandma to my son who really enjoyed her! Can't wait to go back again!! read more

"The universe was trying to prevent us from coming here", said my husband, as Yelp took us to completely wrong streets and we had given up trying to find this place. On our way to Mom's Kitchen, we saw this restaurant and went in. Should've just gone to Mom's... Bland chicken fried steak & mediocre hash browns. Clam chowder was mostly potatoes. Shrimp melt had no flavor at all. Not sure what all the great reviews are about. Definitely won't go back. What made the meal really unpleasant was the swarm of flies all over the tables, chairs, walls, and on people. All the windows were open with no screens and the restaurant staff didn't even seem to notice or care. I felt so disgusted and couldn't finish my sandwich - was it the flies or lack of flavor...? Hard to say. Next time, we will listen to the universe, for sure!!! read more

We were greeted when we walked in and chose where to sit. We were in the corner and it was hard to hear each other when it got busier due to the ambient noise level increasing. Friendly and helpful staff, order was taken and served quickly. Crispy waffle with soft whipped butter, tasty bacon and warm syrups. Generous chicken fried steak with perfect amount of gravy, crispy hash browns , perfect over easy eggs. Coffee and OJ were good. read more

Stockpot Restaurant - American Near Me - Coos Bay, Oregon

The hostess was super energetic and kind. my boyfriend and I shared the Stockpot SpeciSpecial. 3 cakes, 2 eggs, 2 sausage links, 2 bacon and a choice of country potatoes or hashbrowns. The cakes came out with two warm bottles, one with syrup and the other was their homemade Dutch honey syrup. So yummy!! Bacon was cooked to perfection but that sausage? Holy Sheets, that was probably my favorite. I hear they make their own corned benefits hash. We will definitely eat here again when we visit. As I'm typing this, I am giggling as I hear a guy at the other table just rant and rave about how amazing his food is and how good his buddies food looks. Great atmosphere read more

Amazing breakfast. Nothing fancy. But the patty sausage is not to be missed. Cute little diner with friendly service.

Stopped in for some breakfast, couple came in after us was helped 1st. Waited for menus, put in drink order for 1 coffee and an iced tea. 2 flavored waters... after sitting there for a while we got up and left. Charged us 6.25 for nothing. Neither of us consumed anything. The prices are staggering as well. The slow service doesn't match the prices. Will NOT recommend and will NOT be back. I feel robbed. read more

I REALLY wanted to like this place. It's clear that the Stockpot is a local hangout with a long and loyal following. The kind of following that likely gives two shits about Yelp reviews.... As a non local, it was "fine." I had a breakfast burrito which was made with ham, bacon, cheese and fresh tomatoes (and maybe onions). It was served hot, but was rather bland. The provided salsa and sour cream helped spice it up a bit. Pretty much exactly what I expected. The hashed browns were perfectly fine. When ordering coffee, they bring you your own small thermos, so you can drink to your hearts content without needing to flag down a server. Which brings me to the best part of the place.....the people. ALL of the staff were incredibly friendly and cheery. Absolutely wonderful people experience. The atmosphere is homey but dated. Old tables and chairs likely from the 70's. Some kitschy posters and prints. Nothing repulsive, just bland. Overall, a fine experience. Will likely give it another try and order something different. read more

Stockpot Restaurant - Personal thermos of coffee - American Near Me - Coos Bay, Oregon

Once you got your meal ordered our waitress was more attentive. Food fabulous. Staff all friendly.

This is going to be long, but I feel like it is needed. 1st-The wait staff are wonderful, we have been 2 times now (1st time wasnt great, but decided to give it one more chance) and they have been nice and accommodating. Now the rest-- as I said we came a 2nd time (Breakfast) waited to be sat (I noticed some bread on the bar countetop to the right, no biggie...) The place is a dated and old (no biggie) Our table was wiped off in front of us with a filthy towel, how do I know you ask? Food was falling off of it onto the table like an endless CATCH 22 ( I used wet wipes to clean it after, we should have known..) It is ok, we told ourselves, give it another chance.. We ordered our breakfast ---with toast (here is where the bread on the counter comes into play)... We were sat by the front door so the kitchen and counter are easily seen. We watched as a waitress served a family, picked something off the floor, wiped her mouth, scratched her head, WALK over to the bread on the counter, (no hand washing) which come to find out was toast, butter the toast with her knife, slapped it on a plate and served it to another couple. There were FLIES landing on the toast and the same waitress kept waving them off and serving the toast like the flies were just added flavor. At this point in time we were too far in and agreed to not eat the toast. We get our breakfast, the kids got the pancakes, which had canned fruit on them, but instead of draining the fruit, it was just slopped on there so then the ears were soggy and inedible. In fact, the whole pancake just kind of just fell apart..the kids refused to eat them..this is saying alot as I have seen these kids taste sand just to see how it tasted.. They were crying because they didnt want to eat it...people trust your kid's instincts (we had snacks in my bag luckily) We chose not to eat our breakfast's at all...we paid ( even though we didnt eat, we were not asked about the meal or anything) Before we left entirely though, the kids needed to go to the bathroom..PEOPLE...when a bathroom looks/smells and feels like the inside of used a septic tank, learn from our mistakes and leave, just leave, dont use them..just because the kids had to go, make them hold it. The smell of the bathroom, invaded our clothing, so much so we had to go home and throw them into the wash, as well as clean our hands outside of the bathroom with items I carry with me. I am unsure what is going on here, and how people are ok with the quality of food that they get, but a 5 star is delusional. This could be a cute place, but currently...run as far away as possible. read more

Accidentally went to this restaurant, after having been there about 6 months ago. Flies are noticably better, but IMO still a problem. I didn't remember the name, and only realized I was about to have another doomed breakfast once I showed up there. Interior is very loud. I wish I would have gone outside, but didn't realize it was an option. Service is mediocre & slow. Coffee was extraordinarily bad -- tasted like dish soap had been introduced. I wish there was a way to blacklist locations on Google Maps, so that I would never revisit this place. Overpriced mediocre food. Do not recommend. read more

The waiter that served us was really nice and let us try some homemade maple syrup 10/10 it was cheap too $27 flat for 3 people the service is immaculate the vibes are good but definitely recommend getting there early for breakfast cause it gets full FAST read more

Second time here and both trips were worth it. I had the Mexi-style skillet and my dad had the biscuits and gravy. Both meals were fantastic. My dad had take half his breakfast home and I could barely finish my skillet. Seriously, they don't skimp on portions. The restaurant is a small and cozy place, maybe seats 20 people inside with some outdoor seating too. Don't judge the book by the cover here. The staff is friendly and attentive. read more

This is the Go to Spot for a Hearty breakfast. They make my personal favorite. That is a Chicken fried chicken with eggs and home fries. The white meat chicken is so very tender and juicy.

The restaurant is very cozy and friendly. read more

Buckle your seatbelt for a trip back to the 60's cafe experience. Lots of locals so you know it's gotta be good. Not disappointed by huge portions of great tasting chow. Put the feedbag on at this vintage cafe. Clean restrooms were a plus. Special of the day and come hungry. Enjoy! read more

Stockpot Restaurant - Sara the sweetest. - American Near Me - Coos Bay, Oregon

Boy, they really hit it out of the park here for a greasy spoon! Came in here with 5 of our workers right at opening and it was already busy. There were two elderly waitresses dealing with new customers and calls and pickup orders and I figured there was no way we were going to have a good experience, especially when I saw the tiny kitchen with two guys working. Boy was I wrong! These two ladies knocked it out of the park, as did the two cooks working in a kitchen the size of my closet. Drinks were filled, coffee was good and hot and in a pot left on the table, and the breakfast was maybe the best value I've ever seen. $10.50 for three eggs, five strips of the thickest large bacon you're ever seen, and more hash browns than my hungry gut could finish, and no sales tax! Wow! Only critique is the bread they use for toast was inferior. Will definitely come back! read more

The food was awesome. Tasty, generously portioned. The servers were hard working and friendly. The price was fantastic. I will be back to try all of those recommendations. read more

Visiting for the weekend, we stopped here for breakfast on Sunday and were sure glad we did! Fairly busy, but we were able to sit at the counter, which we received an immediate warm welcome and great tentative service from start to finish. Sitting to our right were the owner Lorraine and a regular Pearl, who were an absolute delight to talk to. Lorraine's daughter Debbie is the head chef and the food was amazing! We aren't regulars of diner style food, but this was so well made and not greasy. Fresh chopped potatoes, homemade biscuits and gravy, eggs, bacon, toast-everything we ordered was prepared perfectly and delicious. We enjoyed stories from the staff and owner of their tight knit relationship while we enjoyed breakfast. They had a magical balance of warmly engaging in conversation with us, while continuing to work the whole time, keeping everyone is the restaurant taken care of. read more

Excellent food and atmosphere. We are from out of town and appreciated the friendly staff, reasonable prices and great, hearty food! read more

Stockpot Restaurant - Bacon, mushroom, spinach and cheese omelet with hash browns and a biscuit. - American Near Me - Coos Bay, Oregon

Great food, definitely where the locals go to eat. Big portions and friendly staff. Had breakfast and took chowder to go.

We were traveling from Washington back to So Cal when, our car broke down and needed to get fixed. We found this little diner right by the mechanics shop. So, we decided to check it out. It was very busy inside and small but, considering it was their lunch rush hour and they close at 2pm it was understandable. The food was amazingly delicious and if you sit at the bar (no alcohol served) you can see the cooks make the food. Everyone was nice and sweet and it's family operated which is nice. Overall not a bad little place to dine while waiting for your car to be fixed. read more

Stopped into the Stockpot on our way from Bandon to Cannon Beach and based on the recommendations here on Yelp! ordered the corned beef hash and eggs. I love a good corned beef hash, but this one was clearly the weirdest corned beef hash I have ever been served. And NOT in a good way. Hashes are a combination of meat, potatoes, vegetables and spices, generally using up whatever leftovers are in the kitchen, so there are as many possible varieties as there are cooks who prepare them. Still, this one used hash browns for the potatoes -- which were the dominant ingredient -- and the smallest sprinkling of corned beef imaginable. As we had also ordered hash browns for our side, it was tough to determine where the hash ended and the hash browns picked up. But it was fresh and served quickly, with coffee that was pretty decent. The old-school waitresses (don't call 'em "servers" here!) were friendly, even to those of us who were strangers, though they clearly knew their regulars. If I was passing through Coos Bay again, I'd probably give 'em another try, but I'd steer well clear of the corned beef hash. read more
