She was kind, friendly, super helpful, and a delight to interact with (so were the other staff, but Sarah was my server). Definitely get a pizza of your choice. Was easily the highlight. If I'm ever in the area again, I'm definitely going back. Would highly recommend giving it a try!

Our waitress does not get a 5 star rating. She gets 2 stars because she showed up for work. She…read morenever had a smile on her face. She appeared to be annoyed because my friend asked for a birthday cake shot that she had to "look up". Wth? It's part of making drinks. Figure it out. Her shirt said something about "not peopling". Girl, you in the wrong business, again. Booty shorts on as well. Not nice for waitress attire. The food, hands down, 5 stars. The vibe is always good at this establishment.

I'm sure this will not come as a surprise to the folks that are local to this area, but this is as…read moregood 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.

The turkey was a moist white meat, perfectly cooked. Mashed potatoes with gravy, stuffing with gravy, asparagus spears, a dinner roll and pumpkin pie cost $25, which is a typical price for a decent meal these days. Dang inflation...LOL! Service was quite kind and attentive. The manager was pitching in to clear and clean tables too. It is a good group of employees at Cafe 1297. Thank you for serving such a fine meal on a day where such is greatly appreciated!

Then the waitress brought our food, which was barely warm, and the silverware was so thin that when I tried to cut the pancake the edges of the fork was so thin and sharp it felt like it was cutting my fingers.. it actually hurt my fingers !

This was probably not a one off as there were only a few people in the whole place. Probably won't be eating here again
