Loved the Dizzy Hen! Quaint diner that does a delicious breakfast. Service was fast, prices were fair, and interior was cute and good vibes. I opted for the classic breakfast which was perfect. Eggs were cooked right, bacon was perfectly crispy, and the breakfast potatoes were yummy! What more could you really ask for?? Definitely would return if I found myself back in the Philomath area.

Special local stop in Philomath that deserves to be on your radar. We came here twice for breakfast, but dinner is also served. For breakfast, the Dizzy Hen is a no-brainer. It's one of the best breakfasts in the area. My strongest recommendation is for the less "traditional" breakfast items, and towards the more unique. For example, I loved the pork ragu and grits with a fried egg. The broth, pieces of chard and fall apart pork were wholesome, delicious and well seasoned. I had a "traditional breakfast" my second visit, and while the homemade biscuits and house made sage sausage were clear standouts, in getting a traditional egg scramble, I felt I'd missed out on the creativity of their offerings. The baked goods are excellent. They have a nice list of breakfast cocktails, including a solid-looking Bloody Mary. The Coffee service (I tried their drip, but they have a full expresso bar) is the one spot that could be improved, in my opinion. I personally prefer a stronger cup of coffee. The family and staff running this place are friendly, engaging and keep things moving. A solid spot.

Cute little place. Gets busy fast so be prepared to wait if you don't come early. Small menu seemed promising but the food was just okay. Pretty typical breakfast/brunch food and flavors. The pastries were pretty good.

The food, service and friendly staff highlighted the amazing pastries and breakfast that the team at Dizzy Hen provided us at breakfast today. A quaint, friendly, tasty cafe. In the quaint downtown of Philomath, Or. Recommended by Jenny from the block at OSF in Corvallis. She asked that I keep it a secret, but this place deserves all the love because it was a great recommendation that hit the spot, thanks Jenny and thanks team at Dizzy Hen, great job!!! We will definitely return!

Traditional Breakfast of 2 Eggs

I came in with a party of three this morning. When I arrived, I was told to write my name on the waitlist and to wait until everyone in my party arrived before being seated, even though there were plenty of open tables. It was confusing to see other groups seated right away while we waited, and it left us feeling a bit like our presence was more of an inconvenience than a welcome. Clearer communication about seating policies would really help. Once one of my friends arrived, we were eventually seated, though it felt delayed. Our third joined shortly after. Service throughout the meal was a little inconsistent--we were sometimes overlooked, but to the staff's credit, they did kindly check on coffee a few times. The food itself was excellent--fresh and flavorful, which made the visit worthwhile. However, at checkout, we asked if the bill could be split and were told it wasn't possible, even though one of my friends who comes often has had it done before. Consistency with policies like that would go a long way. We also waited at the counter about 10 minutes, and the staff member seemed frustrated to help, which reinforced that feeling that we were a bit of a burden to serve. Overall, the food was great, but the service left us disappointed. With more attentiveness, consistency, and a warmer welcome, this could easily be a five-star spot.... But unfortunately I will not be back unless service changes.

One of the best meals I've had that I still think about it. I was surprised for there to be a bit of a wait on a friday morning. It took roughly 20 mins to be seated but it was most definitely worth it. Our server was so kind, funny and made good food recommendations. I ordered The Dizzy and subbed the ham for sausage. It was a huge portion, I had to take it to-go. It was so flavorful and the biscuits were so soft. Definitely some of the best I've tried. Their pastries looked so good but I was too full to try them. Everyone else also enjoyed their food and still mention it to this day. If I ever find myself in Philomath, I will be back here. 11/10 recommend!! Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10

Biscuits and Gravy with 2 Eggs
Vijay N.

Quaint yet popular diner just outside of Corvallis with great pastries and very solid breakfast dishes. My family is visiting Oregon for the weekend. My dad had a meeting for the first half of the day so my mom, brother, and I decided to explore the local food scene and we came across Dizzy Hen. When we arrived we wrote our name down on a list - the place was very crowded because of the University of Washington vs OSU game. We waited about 30 minutes until we had a table ready. While we waited we were given the option to order drinks and grab something from the wide selection of pastries at the front counter. Once seated we placed our order for food and drinks. My brother and I ordered a Bloody Mary and Irish Coffee respectively and my mom got a regular coffee. For food, I ordered the biscuits and gravy with eggs, my mom got a breakfast platter with a biscuit , and my brother got a bacon omelette. We also go an almond croissant to hold us over until our main meal came out. The drinks were solid - the Irish coffee packed a punch and the Bloody Mary tasted perfect. The along croissant was extra flakey - and the almond filling struck a solid balance of sweet and heavy almond flavor. The food was top notch - I haven't had biscuits and gravy in a long time and this definitely hit the spot. The biscuits were buttery and light and the gravy was seasoned perfectly. Also, the roasted potatoes that came on the side were some of the best I've had in a long time (my mom and brother agreed). The omelette my brother got was simple but done to perfection. And my mom's breakfast platter was solid too - I believe they make their sausage patty's from scratch and you can tell from the quality. On top of the great food, the staff of the Dizzy Hen were fantastic. The place was slammed with people and everyone kept working with a smile and took time to talk to every customer with great service. If you find yourself in Corvallis , I'd say this place is a must visit. The perfect place to go for fueling up before game day or if you want a very well done breakfast. 5/5

Continuously fantastic food & service. A great local establishment. Our Feta, leek, mushrooms omelette with a side of bacon - delicious!

Cute spot in philomath. Interesting breakfast sando, it has sweet potato puree and caramelized onions which were good. Service was very good.

This is such a lovely quaint little restaurant with simple yet absolutely delicious food. the staff are so friendly and the quantities are enormous. I thought the French toast bread pudding was phenomenal.

Do they have gluten free options?

They have several gluten free options for breakfast. Their omelette s are generally GF, the vegan hash and pork ragu are also GF. I'm sure They have other GF stuff as well. For lunchtime their menu changes weekly but they always have something…

The menu is broad enough that there's plenty to pick from. We were there for dinner. The food was delicious! Mom had the grilled cheese with sweet potato fries (they were even good as cold leftovers!!). The sandwich comes with a combo of 3 melted cheeses. Dad had the honey glazed chicken. Also really good. Hubby had the 2-meat BBQ plate with pulled pork and 1/2 rack of ribs. He really liked his ribs. He was pleased with the baked beans, too. And I got the steak salad. Delicious! When trying a new place, I always go for that and I was not disappointed one bit! I tried both the baker's roll (rosemary and sage today) and the heart attack roll. Neither made me think I was eating GF. As first-timers, we were given free chocolate chip cookies. The centers were soft and moist with crisp edges. I do like a ymmy sweet to finish off the meal. It's really nice to have a GF restaurant where the family can all go and find something without compromising selection or taste. We'll certainly be back!!

We try to find local restaurants to support local business, we've generally been happy with what we've found. Young's Country Kitchen is no exception, we really enjoyed our meal! The cuisine is quite good and authentic. The bibimbap had a good balance of beef and veggies, the chap chae also nicely done. My son enjoyed his bulgogi, good flavor and tender beef. We were a bit curious as to why our son ordered the sweet-and-sour chicken, but as always he knew what he was doing (at least with food). The chicken has the right amount of batter, there was still nice chunks of meat, plus the dish wasn't drowned in sauce. What really impressed me are the "minor" features that add up. The chili sauce with the bibimbap was tasty with a mild, not overwhelming kick (it may not be homemade, but it complimented the dish properly). The rice is very good, with generous portions. I wish I'd have purchased some kim chee to go with it. The miso soup is good, white miso, very appreciated on a cold day. Our family has been there before, and we plan on returning. My next try will be the Kim chee fried rice.

The lady in the front is an old white lady. She is absolutely rude and impatient. I called and she told me I don't know how to speak clear instead of asking me or telling me they don't understand. I ordered chicken teriyaki bowl I got beef. I still ate it to avoid complaints. My wife went to ask for sauce cus there was none and the lady looked at her and made her feel dumb for not knowing the sauces they had. Instead of asking her which on or explaining the ones they have. There was an Asian that use to work the front that was so kind and sweet. I don't know why this worker was impatient. I work hard for my money and was driving through and specifically stopped here on the way to the coast. I still think the food was amazing but really bothered my evening that family had to experience that. I may even have a review from years ago applauding this place.
