So fun, right In aquarium village right next to pirates plunder. If you like travel kitsch, this is the area. I had a great bowl of clam chowder, my wife had a fantastic pancake. It's all homemade. The server was really fun. We like people and she told us about her upcoming wedding. It's a very fun place, read more

The menu description and visual of the food don't match the taste. The chicken fried steak is hand formed and the gravy included sausage bits, but it just lacked any taste. The potatoes didn't have any crisp, and again, no taste. My friend's salmon was also a let down. The bread is the low-end kind that when toasted, was completely flat without texture. The one decent positive standout: the Marionberry French Toast. Although they don't offer espresso, their drip was a pleasant surprise. I believe it's a company that took over for Boyd's Coffee. Looks like only outdoor seating for now. It's worth noting that Connie the server was awesome! read more

Excellent food. From homemade breads, buns to excellent seafood and barbecued meats. Love their lingcod sandwich. Owners extremely nice and generous. Glad I'm local so I can look forward to eating here frequently. read more

we have had nothing but good things said about this place so I took it upon myself to drive the 2 1/2 hours to try it out. We got here at 9 o'clock. There's a sign on the door saying they're open up 730 to 3 Monday through Friday 9 AM on a Monday. Open signs on both doors are locked. You can see the employees inside not doing anything so I'm glad I wasted the gas and money to have employees look at us like we're stupid as they sit down and eat at 9 o'clock in the morning. read more

I'll start off positive, the best gravy and biscuits. Gravy was super flavorful Biscuits were fresh and flakey. French toast was unlike anything I had before. The house made whip cream was to die for. Salmon hash was disappointing, salmon was dry and not flavorful at all. My potato's were undercooked (probably because my plate was dropped) and they rushed to bring it out before it was done. My friends potatoes were cooked to perfection. Our food took over 45 minutes to hit the table, when the food was brought out my salmon hash took another 6-7 minutes after everyone else's and my friend was done with her chicken fried steak before her eggs came out for it. We ordered a chicken fried steak to go and guess what... they dropped that too. So we went to the antique shop and looked around before we came back to pick it up. Food was good. Lacking on service. We had to grab ketchup off another table, and hot sauce I had to ask for Twice. Sometimes when food takes along time it's worth it I'm not sure if I Could say that about This place. read more

This is a friendly, multi-generation family owned restaurant. Everything is homemade. This is a cafe frequented by locals, but it's in walking distance of the La Quinta and Holiday Inn Express hotels. We ate here twice. The clam chowder is excellent! Breakfast was generous and delicious. Things are slower and more relaxed in Newport. So don't expect rushed service. read more

The food was decent and the service was exceptional. We went in for brunch. My husband enjoyed a huge homemade biscuit smothered in eggs, ham and gravy. Definitely comfort food. I had a grilled chicken sandwich which was tasty. I would definitely recommend! read more

We ate here for the time this week. I had a crab sandwich and hubby had the turkey club. Both sandwiches were good. Nice amount of of turkey on the sandwich. The chowder wasn't best I've had in area but okay. We liked being able to bring out dogs onto the patio. We would eat here again. read more

We had a group of ten! They were able to seat us quickly! The waitress was the only waitress working. It took her a few minutes to bring our drinks, and we had to ask a few times for silverware and straws. She was very friendly though, and seemed knowledgeable about the menu and available specials! The food tasted good to me and was enjoyable. Unfortunately some of our party didn't enjoy the food! I will say that a couple items like the sausage links and garlic bread were over cooked. read more

Easy 9/10 Food was very good and fresh We are definitely stopping here again in the future read more

The food was decent, not great. There is one friendly waitress and one grumpy waitress. I dont think I would return here again when there are other better breakfast joints in the area. read more

While the food tasted good, it was incredibly overpriced. We only saw our waitress twice- once when we ordered and once when she gave us the bill. She never stopped by the entire time we were eating to see if we needed anything so we had to flag down other servers. At the end of our meal, we had some leftovers that we wanted to take with us and they did not have any to go boxes. Instead, they handed us a flimsy paper plate with a piece of tinfoil. The location of this restaurant clearly draws tourists who are likely traveling with coolers and using hotel refrigerators. Taking to go food on a paper plate with a piece of tinfoil was really inconvenient. We will not return to this restaurant. There are plenty of other places in Newport to get a good breakfast for a much more reasonable price and with better service. read more

The marionberry French toast is to die for. Biscuit Benny was very good as well, and the chicken fried steak was probably the best I've ever had. I didn't get the servers name, but both were super nice. This is a must stop in newport! read more

The marionberry French toast is amazing! So much flavor, and they had gluten-free bread, too! Their cottage fried potatoes were nice and crispy. The homemade muffins and pancakes came with fall seasoning, pumpkin, molasses, apples, and lots of cinnamon and pumpkin spice. Please come and enjoy this local family restaurant. Servers were friendly and prompt, and the cook made an exception to make the pumpkin pancakes even though it was close to the lunch crowd. Yummy, yummy, yummy!! read more

Great food! Great service! We come here every time we stay in Newport. Fresh food. .............

Fish and chips are amazing. They make all their own bread, and all of the sauces and dressings are made by them and incredibly delicious.

Small seating area, had the Turkey BLT sandwich and they serve the small fries almost like a pencil width and maybe 1.5 inches long. Endless cup of Coffee is one cup. Server dropped off food never came back. read more

I had a so-called breakfast there this morning and it was unedible. My over easy egg was cold the hash Browns were mush and the coffee tasted like pencils. What a huge disappointment and the waitress didn't even respond. Just totally ignored me won't ever be going back there again. read more

This place is absolutely amazing!!! Everything is Delicious but you gotta try the pumpkin pancakes!! They're awesome!!

A great find! Elana our server was welcoming, knew the menu and great service. My husband had chorizo omelette (special of day) I had GF salmon hash very large portions- took some home. Lots of choices off the menu. Homemade jam with GF bread and sour dough was a treat! Thanks keep the good work read more

The absolute cutest little place. Father's Day breakfast was amazing. The stuffed French toast was so good for the sweet tooth. The crab cake special was delicious, I finished the whole thing, which was a lot of food! read more

Oysters were fresh and tasty grilled. Too much breading on oysters. Had a perfect cranberry mimosa. Hubs had a baked chowder with shrimp. Owners grandma recipe. read more

Walked over while having our auto worked on. We both ordered the fish and chips, relatively busy but fast service. Tender, crispy pieces of fish (not the oversized planks you get most places. Fries were firs, great garlic bread and coleslaw so good I want the recipe. A hefty plate of food for $19.95. We will be back. read more

I saw and called Whale Tails and they were just closing but told me about their sister cafe north, across the bridge and that we could order our food and eat it down at their glass tables over looking the marina and harbor. It's called the worlds smallest harbor. Why not add that to our list of places seen and eaten at?! The outdoor seating with a view and food were all excellent. My grilled chicken sandwich was perfectly cooked, vegetables were crisp, fries stayed crisp for the short walk back across the bridge. My husband's blue cheese burger was also moist and tasty. He enjoyed tator tots. As we left, a gentleman who was cleaning kayaks asked about our meals. Maybe the owner or co-owner? All of the people were really nice and helpful. Had the lady on the phone not told me of this place, I might not have noticed it. read more

Food good customer service needs attention. Slow and distracted instead of check back with customers.

Our first visit to this great little local place. Recommended to us by one of the park rangers at Beverley Beach where we were camping. We went Sunday around 10am and it wasn't super busy. It's a small family owned place, so we expected things to take a little time and that was how it went. We didn't mind since we weren't in a hurry at all. The food was really good. The marion berry French toast was excellent! Fluffy and just the right amount of Marion berry sauce to go with each bite. The whipped cream inside was a unique touch that I really enjoyed. My wife ordered the chicken fried steak and it was some of the best we've had. Not too heavy on the batter, not greasy, and really really good country gravy. The toast that came on the side was obviously from homemade bread, also delicious. We will go back when we're in Newport. We may even make it a point to go to Newport just to go to this place!

We love this place- Breakfast and Lunch. House-made bread and soups! Clam chowder is one of the best I have had in the area! Creamy and lots of clams. Friendly and knowledgeable staff/servers. I like to switch it up every time we go so I can try different things! It is a locally owned small restaurant which makes it even better. Sit, relax, and eat good food. read more

Heard their radio add on the Boss. Before we moved here we would stay at holiday inn express and you can see it behind the hotel......but free breakfast at HIE - we never stopped by. Now that we live here we stopped by for lunch Their Slumgullion clam chowder is baked with cheese- so flavorful I had the clam fritter lunch with coleslaw - yummy fritter and the coleslaw was the best I have had.. fries have a seasoning that makes you not want to stop shoveling them in your mouth. The chef actually brought out our food to - and he was busy read more

Got seated quickly but didn't get drinks for several minutes. Good coffee and tea as stated. Couldn't quite get ahold of my waitress to get a lemon slice. As well as refills on coffee or anything. I got the biscuits and gravy and my partner got chicken friend steak, they mixed up our order and someone else's which wasn't a huge deal but just still simple mistake. The chicken fried steak had eggs with it which my partner asked for over easy and they came out with partially undercooked egg whites. Although everything else was decent maybe not the freshest chicken used to be honest. Biscuits were a little on the dry side. Biscuits and gravy were good overall though. I think that our food sat in the window for a while because it wasn't the hottest when it came out. Truly not the best atmosphere because they left tables just uncleaned the whole time we were there. When a larger group came in they just moved aside the dirty dishes and left it for later. It was also past 11am and the waitress promised another table pancakes when we were told specifically that no pancakes after 11am so that was kind of rude to do to some customers and not others. It was overall okay probably not somewhere I need to go again. Hope they can improve and maybe I shall return. read more

I would give it a hundred stars! Great service, indoor and outdoor seating and the best food!! The grilled oysters are served with two eggs your way, homemade toast, biscuit or muffin and home style red potatoes or a fruit cup! On the sweet side I suggest the Marionberry French toast with two pieces of homemade bread sandwiching a concoction of cream cheese and more berry sauce and topped with a berry coulis and whipped cream. It is sweet though, so I held that....their bacon is good too, and my boyfriend had the Northwest omelette and enjoyed it! read more

Best Slumgullion chowder I've ever had. Fish and chips were great too. Your customer service was also good. The only thing I wish they were open later in the afternoon. read more

The food was DELICIOUS. We were a party of 5, each got a different thing. Servers were super friendly and joked around with us. They could perhaps be more on top of things - we did have to ask after a couple items when they didn't show up - but the vibe is very chill. The food did take a while to come out, but we were having fun just hanging out and chatting with each other, so it wasn't that noticeable. The decor (including a wide and varied collection of cloth napkins) is very "nautical Northwest" - pics of shells, ships, anchors, as well as wood paintings evoking totems. A lovely little spot in Aquarium Village. The Food! - tuna melt: No canned fish in sight! Very fresh, and worked well with the cheese, sour cream, tomatoes, and thousand island. - fish and chips: BEST FRIED FISH I'VE HAD. And I'm a fan of British-style pubs. - pumpkin pancake (on special): like the pumpkin pie, in pancake form. Real whipped heavy cream, too - again, no canned stuff! - salmon hash: Um. Just....WOW. I can't even. The friend that ordered it cleaned her plate, and I'd she hadn't, the rest of us would have. - clam chowder: I didn't have much of it because I'm a bit lactose intolerant, but the taste I had was lovely. - slumgullion (clam chowder with shrimp, then baked with cheese on top and bottom). From my husband: "Take everything you love about New England clam chowder. Add shrimp and cheese. Apply heat from oven. Insert into face. Die happy." If you're in Newport, EAT HERE. Full disclosure: This review was motivated by an offered discount on our meal. However, I stand by absolutely everything I said. The food's amazing, the people are friendly. Eat here. read more

This use to be a good place to go. But know they have new help and they are slow. The food is cold the ham was so tough I couldn't eat it. The potatoes were cold, toast was dry. It's to bad. Not going back. Don't waste your time or money. read more

I truly don't understand anybody who didn't give this place a perfect rating. The food is amazing, well presented and great portions. We have been several times and everything has been good. The marionberry frenchtoast is something special, but they make a nice omelette too. The staff is so courteous and friendly and Not only did they welcome my children, but seem to really enjoy them. I'd also like to add that we've met the greatest locals there. read more

Made my annual visit to Newport. Connie is the best! She is so friendly, helpful, and is good with customers of all ages. Prices are very reasonable for the food portion, and food quality. The sad part is this place is always empty. I'm hoping it continues to stay in business because it's still the best breakfast place in Newport and probably one of the best kept secrets as well. read more

Seated at 1:50. Food arrived at 2:30. Bacon undercooked, burger overcooked. I know it looks convenient if you're at the nearby tourist traps but it is not. read more

We came here before our trip to the aquarium. I wanted to try more interesting food because we are generally not breakfast people. We ordered the clam fritter and the grilled oyster, both with house fried and eggs (over medium and scrambled). The service was not fast. But they literally said on their menu that this is not a fast place, so I guess you can't really fault them for that. Everything took a long time - being seated, taking orders, food, check, paying. But no one seemed to be in a hurry. So we just went with it. The food, though, was amazing. 12 hours later I'm still thinking about that clam fritter. If you never had clam fritter before I highly recommend you give it a try. The oysters were more like pan fried other than grilled. But it tasted great. The home fry was so crispy and flavorful. I don't even like potatoes and I ate more than half of it. The over medium eggs were cooked perfectly. I highly recommend this place if you are not in a rush. read more
