The Lazy Susan is what I affectionately call a true hole-in-the-wall gem. It's tucked just off the…read morebeaten path, adored by the locals, and serves some of the freshest, most delicious food you'll find
on the Oregon Coast.
Come prepared with three things: cash, an appetite, and a little patience. They don't take
reservations--you simply write your name on the waiting list and relax while you wait. Trust me, it's
worth every minute. We waited about 25 minutes, and after eating here, we understood exactly why
there's always a line.
In fact, we loved it so much that we came back two mornings in a row!
The warm marionberry scones, fresh from the oven, are absolutely unforgettable. They're easily
twice the size of a traditional scone, making them perfect for sharing, and every bite is buttery,
tender, and bursting with sweet marionberries.
I ordered the mushroom and Tillamook cheddar omelet with breakfast potatoes, and it was
outstanding. The mushrooms were perfectly sautéed, the Tillamook cheddar was rich, fresh, and
flavorful, and the potatoes tasted like they had been prepared that very morning before being
crisped to perfection when ordered. Every bite tasted homemade.
Our waitress had customer service down to a science--friendly, attentive, and genuinely
welcoming. The restaurant itself is wonderfully cozy, with just a handful of tables upstairs and
additional seating downstairs. That intimate atmosphere means your food arrives incredibly fast.
Ours was piping hot and on the table within just a few minutes of ordering.
One thing to know before you go--they're cash only. Honestly, I can appreciate that. In a busy
tourist town where credit card fraud is an unfortunate reality, it's a simple system that clearly works
well for them.
If you're looking for an unforgettable breakfast, brunch, or lunch, The Lazy Susan absolutely
belongs on your list.
Just when we thought the experience couldn't get any better, our waitress casually asked if we'd
like dessert. I laughed and said, "You have desserts?" She pointed to the homemade dessert menu, and we couldn't resist taking home a slice of the chocolate silk pie and the peanut butter pie AND Oh my heavens....Each was incredibly rich and velvety--almost like an indulgent cheesecake--with homemade flavor in every bite. They became the perfect mid-afternoon treat, and now I already have an excuse to come back because I can't wait to work my way through the rest of the dessert menu.
Some restaurants are worth visiting... The Lazy Susan is worth planning your trip around!
