Moments later she came back with the Breakfast menu. The breakfast did not disappoint in anyway! Eggs Sunnyside, Bacon extra Crispy. 3 satisfying pieces of French toast. Located in a cute downtown with quite a few Antique stores and a place called Mill Pond which is a great history piece for locals but a must check out. Coffee from the Black Bear coffee company was delicious. I chose the Bull Buckner medium roast. Overall. Staff was attentive and very nice.

The service was lacking, one of there staff members has a horrible attitude. He seems like he doesnt even want to be there. The restaurant is dirty. There's dust and greasy fingerprints everywhere. The carpet is stained with cobwebs in the corners. I overheard someone talking about ants in their soda last time they were in, so I didn't get a beverage. This feels like a local spot that caters to a regular crowd and isn't very accommodating to out of towners. I guess we should stick to what's on the main street.

The staff do a great job of turning tables so the wait is not as long as you would think. The waitress was so kind and friendly and brought us coffee and green tea and then took our order. My husband ordered the biscuit and gravy and said it was the best he had ever had! The bacon was thick and perfectly cooked. The special was French toast but with a banana nut bread that made it feel like a dessert! The sausage was just as great and gave that perfect balance of salty sweet. We plan on returning the next time we head up that way.

The service was amazing, the food was delicious, and the whole experience was wonderful. I loved the atmosphere there. Everyone was friendly and attentive to all our needs. I was very happy with our waitress, as I tend to drink a lot of water, and she was always right there to fill my glass when it was empty. After we finished our lunch, we went into your gift shop. Oh, my goodness, there were so many awesome things to choose from. I purchased an adorable calico kitty stuffed animal. She was so soft and huggable. Sadly, somewhere between there and home, I lost her. I went on your website to purchase another one to replace it and could not order from the website. that was the ONLY downfall I found with this place. I recommend everyone to eat here on your way to or from the beach. We will certainly be back for more food and souvenirs! Thank you again for the amazing service we received. Mr. & Mrs. Scott Fuge

Beware of location/directions!…read more This restaurant is in Seaside.. or is it??? It shares a zip code with Seaside but you will drive a very long and windy road to get to this restaurant and it was like an hour aways from the Seaside that we know to be by the sea. The food was ok, the service was friendly and the restaurant was a big, cozy cabin. If you are driving by, cool, go in.

Sounds like fun and tasty so we left early on Saturday morning. We splashed in and played for a few hours. After getting out of the water we walked to the food cart restaurant on the bank of Nehalem river. When we walked up there was a sign "Waiting Time One Hour". Ok! It's a three day warm winter weekend so many people headed to the coast. We ordered beer and chatted away the time. This is a good food cart, outside seating on the river on the sunny day. The cart is associated.with the roadside store in the downtown. The back of the store has a covered deck with tables in case it rains. Prices are high, for three piece halibut with a dab of coleslaw and overcook cold french fries was $32. My friend had the three-piece cod for $26ish. My friend really wanted to try this place and she enjoyed the cod. I, on the other hand, have had better with Moore sloth and fries at other places on the coast., But you're here, right. You're on a mini vacation, just enjoy the warm winter day and nice food.
