Good tasting burger and fries along with a large basket of chicken wings with sweet sauce, perfectly done (not fatty or greasy) with fries.

They have a family seating side and a bar seating side, reminiscent of a Pennsylvannia neighborhood bar. Though the bar is small, they pride themselves on their cocktails. The view of the Alsea Bay and the city docks is pretty amazing. If you go, be patient. It is a local restaurant run by good local folks and, they do operate on Oregon time. They serve their neighbors, welcome tourists, and are a favorite stop for crabbing and fishermen, after a day on the water. My wife loves the fried clams, and my favorite is the Lemon Pepper Cod. Great crisp salads, and if they haven't run out for the night get the baked potatoe. Hoping they get the chicken broaster fixed soon. When we visit Waldport our first night in town is dinner at the Dawg, and before we sadly leave, our last night out is there; and, sometimes in-between.

You never know for sure until you ask, so we gave it a try. Well, they don't have gluten free bread or dairy free cheese here, but what they do have is a staff willing to get creative with my lunch - - Rueben Fries!! Imagine a basket of fries loaded with corned beef, sauerkraut and thousand island dressing. It was so yummy. Servers were super friendly. Bloody Maria was delicious. And there's a big TV on the wall to watch the game, if you want. Great way to spend a Saturday afternoon:)

Auguste is the best - great suggestions for food, attentive, and so friendly(we remember Auguste from last year). And the food is so good - Chef Tyler is still here - fantastic food (hazelnut crusted coho salmon, scallop & shrimp scampi, cioppino, bay shrimp cocktail with great cocktail sauce , key lime pie, mixed berry cheesecake, and tiramisu - all excellent). Thank you to Auguste and chef Tyler for making our yearly visit to The Adobe special. Final night for dinner at The Adobe: another wonderfully delicious meal with the delightful Heather Marie as our server. Meals that were yummy: spring pea asparagus linguine, grilled rock cod, grilled shrimp, and cioppino, key lime pie, tiramisu, chocolate marquis flourless cake. Heather Marie is so much fun as bartender, and "jack of all" in food serving department(she does it all with a smile). Love The Adobe Staff - they make The Adobe what it is. The Adobe makes for a pleasurable vacation.

We literally drive almost three hours round trip for breakfast here. The food is exceptional every single time -- and everything is plant-based, although apparently they're so good at it that people don't even realize it. Last time we were there, we ended up sharing a table with a stranger who had ordered an omelette. Somehow it came up that the whole restaurant is vegan and she was SHOCKED. She had absolutely no idea she was eating a plant-based omelette. Honestly, that might be the best review of the food right there. The place itself is adorable and quirky, with tarot cards and games on the tables, fun merchandise, and friendly, funny staff. And the pastries!! Worth the drive all by themselves. We absolutely love this place and will continue making our ridiculous breakfast pilgrimage as often as possible.

I was happy to see that Newport Cafe was still around. I went in to look at the menu, sat down, and ordered. When the food came and I started to eat, I thought this would play out like another 4 star event. Let me preface this by saying that Newport Cafe currently gets 2 stars from me, with the two words assigned to those stars being: CHISELING CENTRAL I ordered the meatloaf, which had a nice garnish vegetables, and the mashed potatoes with gravy. I also ordered lemonade. I ate and asked for the bill. When the bill arrived, I saw that there was a $2 upcharge for a side of gravy, the same gravy that went onto the mashed potatoes. Rarely have I seen meatloaf presented "dry." It typically has gravy or a tomato based sauce on it. Waiter #1, who took my order, was the nicer of the two guys. Waiter #2 brought me the check. I'm used to paying up charges for extra bleu cheese, tartar sauce, or tzatziki sauce, but not for pedestrian gravy and certainly not $2 at a roadside diner. Waiter #2 got testy when I asked him about the charge, told him that I've not seen meatloaf presented "dry," and I don't think I've ever been charged for gravy. His smart alecky answer before walking away was, "I can tell." At this point, I just wanted to pay the bill and get out of there. I was able to get waiter #1's attention. I brought up the same issue since he was more affable and seated me. In fact, he and I discussed a sauce his grandparents would apply to their meat loaf! He said that the charges are listed and it's treated as a side. I don't think that a person would move from the dinner menu list ... to the backside of the menu to scour it for sides for gravy, like they would for additional vegetables or potatoes. I told him he could have also told me it was extra because I would have passed. This isn't about being petty as much as it is about Newport Cafe obfuscating the situation. In a few minutes, it got even worse. The credit card used fee was obviously pegged at 4%, which might even be higher than what the credit card companies really charge them. This then starts looking similar to the subplot in the comedy "Office Space," where small rounding amounts add up to some moolah over a lot of customers. It got even worse when they brought me the credit card point of sale machine. Upon entering my tab, I saw a much higher amount displayed. Waiter #1 told me it was the suggested tip. The tip was in the ball park of 25%! He told me I could change it. You can bet I did. (Upon recently having breakfast at IHOP, the available tip options were 15%, 18%, 20%, and other.) With such a crazy amount on there, the buyer who is not the sharpest tool in the shed with numbers might accidentally tap the "accept" button. I changed the tip to zero. I've done that less than a handful of times in my life. The math indicates that $2.00 for the pedestrian gravy and 84 cents for the credit card fee add up to $2.84, thus a 15% tip of the base in and of themselves. I do think it is tacky to stiff a server. However I saw a boss do it and it was warranted. We were in a nicer Italian restaurant in Manhattan for work and, at the end of the dinner, my boss stacked a couple of the plates. The petulant Italian waiter - from Italy - at this pissy restaurant said 'No, no, no, you don't stack the plates at a nice restaurant.' My boss was insulted by this, and so was I, whereby an arrogant foreign waiter berated my white collar boss to give her a crash course on "executive charm school" manners. I bring this up because she entered a big glaring zero as the tip amount. With the flippant "I can tell" comment and $2.84 in fees, there's your tip. The food was good, but not spectacular. It's basic comfort food. I remember liking their fish and chips more and how, some ten years ago, it was a benign and relaxing experience. It goes without saying that Newport Cafe's location and decor is interesting. Thinking about the credit card usage fee, that means it's also applied to the already overpriced sweatshirts and other tourist paraphernalia they sell. I could see the cooks hard at work when I went to use the restroom before settling in. It's too bad that this went south so quickly. I watched the sea lions bark for about 15 minutes and got back on the road. I really would have liked to have eaten in Lincoln City, but Maxwell's is no longer around, and I didn't think I could hold out until Lincoln City. With that linear experience where they bring you tasty fish and chips, you pay normal prices, there are no weird upcharges and a preset tip that you have to undo gone, it's time to move on. Again, I'm at 2 stars. I've already suggested the 2 words CHISELING CENTRAL to accompany the 2 stars. I could also go with the 2 words TOURIST TRAP
