    Coffee
    Mark M.

    Downie's Café in Bay City, Oregon is the kind of small-town coastal gem that makes you grateful you wandered in. My first impression: the cleanest, nicest bathroom I've ever seen in an American diner! To the last bite, it's clear this is a place that takes pride in the details. I went for the Tillamook cheddar and ham omelette with a homemade biscuit and hash browns, while my soulmate had Eggs Benedict that was phenomenal even on English muffins, though I couldn't help imagining how legendary it would be served on their incredible homemade biscuits. The mixed greens that came with it were fresh, high-quality, and lightly dressed with olive oil and lemon, no bottled dressing shortcut here. I swapped toast for one of those biscuits and had to try the gravy. It was smooth, perfectly seasoned, and avoided that heavy, lumpy texture so many places serve. Out of curiosity, we ordered a pancake, and I'm glad we did. It was fluffy, flavorful, and clearly made from scratch, served with Tillamook butter. Everything tasted fresh, cooked in a butter-oil blend without the seed or vegetable oils that ruin flavor elsewhere. My only regret was skipping the seafood omelettes (shrimp or oysters), but with a four-hour drive ahead, I decided to save that for next time. If I had one small suggestion, it would be to upgrade the coffee, which was just okay compared to the food. Service from Sarah was outstanding, prompt, friendly, and exactly what you want in a place like this. The vibe was pure coastal Oregon: locals chatting, a cozy, no-frills dining room connected to a market, and a mission to feed you well so you can get on with your day. It's not something you'd find in Manhattan, and that's part of its charm. Five stars without hesitation. If you're doing a coastal Oregon trip, make this a stop, you'll leave full, happy, and already planning your return.

    Go. Here. Best ranch I've ever had. Friend's burger was THICK. Even my beef round steak tasted like, well, a steak. Service was personable and friendly. A very small but super cute place, and I really hope you give it a try.

    Downies inside before the rush.

    The best diner on the Oregon Coast, bar none. The service is friendly, efficient and brisk. The food is absolutely outstanding, especially their signature cinnamon roll. It's a tiny hole in the wall place but manages to be clean, warm and inviting. Even the bathroom is emaculate.

    Oyster breakfast was amazing.

    Stopped by on our way out of town and were so happy to get a table at this super cute little diner in town. The service was fantastic, everyone was super friendly, attentive and the food came out hot, fresh and quick. It was all delicious, and we were so glad we tried one of their giant cinnamon rolls. If you are in the area, this is a great little breakfast spot, you won't be disappointed.

    Awesome oyster omelets, very crispy hash browns, and friendly service. It's small and popular so expect a wait if you don't get there early.

    As a self proclaimed clam chowder connoisseur I take the hunt for delicious clam chowder throughout…read morethe PNW coastal area very seriously. Each beach town my husband I travel to, I spend far too much time reading reviews about clam chowder. If only I spent as much energy in other areas of my life as I do "internet-researching" clam chowder, who knows what I could accomplish. I must say that the clam chowder at Werner Beef & Brew is exactly what I have been hunting for. It is the perfect texture and consistency. It has a spectacular balance of clam to potato ratio, and the potatoes are cooked to perfection. They don't have too much bite, nor do they disintegrate into mush the moment they enter your mouth. The chowder itself was worth traveling from Rockaway to Tillamook for. It was even worth a more industrial view vs. an establishment with a more coastal and picturesque backdrop. The salad bar was on point. The variety of salad add-ins, dressings, and topping crunchy-bits were epic. It was a nice balance to the very rich perfect chowder I am already missing. I miss it. I miss the chowder. My husband also got the fish tacos, based on others' reviews and enjoyed every bite. I enjoyed their Dragon Fruit Cider, and he ordered one of their Meaty Bloody Mary's. If you are on the fence if you should order one, you should. You should get that bloody mary. The bloody mary then led us to purchase some of their salami and bologna. It was an elevated version of the sandwich meat my grandpa used with white bread, yellow mustard (off-brand), ice burg lettuce, and a slice of cheddar cheese. Mid-life has me craving nostalgia. It might be the hormone imbalance, but salami white bread sandwiches, here I come.

    This is a very casual, mostly locals, brewery and restaurant. I have eaten here a number of times,…read moreboth for breakfast and dinner. I have gotten the breakfast burrito when having breakfast and would characterize it as large, yet underwhelming in taste. None of the beers that i have tried are particularly memorable, but they are very drinkable. The service is courteous and they strive to keep the tables clean. The ordering here is done at the counter and I have found this to be a great way of taking orders in a casual establishment. This allows one to peruse the menu at a table at one's own speed, then walk up to the counter to ask any questions about the menu and then place the order. My experiences have been that the employee at the register has always been patient, informative and respectful. They bring your order to your table when it is ready. My experience is that they give you a conservative estimate of the time for preparing and the real time has been shorter. Note that I think they do a good job with turnaround times given how many customers are in the restaurant combined with their apparent significant take-out business. My dinner experiences have been very satisfying and that is what one would expect from a meat purveyor. However, they do not fumble the ball on the execution. Casual food, but tasty. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating: plenty of both. Part of the outside seating is heated and covered during much of the year. I have never been there when you could not choose a table. I think a great casual stop, and a unique one, when visiting the Tillamook area.
