    Great place to stop eat. Food is good and friendly service. They have a little bit everything to choose from.

    Southwestern burger

    We take this road to the coast regularly and have commented every time we pass Halfway that we should try it. So we did! It was around 2 on a cold, rainy Saturday and we were the only people there. It is a restaurant/quick stop market in one and has roughly 6 interior booths for dining in (not including the nice covered outdoor area). It has a great homestyle feel, everything is worn and local. We ordered a cheeseburger and the southwestern cheeseburger. You can hear your food being made on the other side of the dividing wall. So we definitely knew our food wasn't sitting around, it was very fresh and hot. I sub'd my regular fries for tots but please know I don't think tots are a regular menu item. The server made sure to check with the kitchen when I ordered that they had them, as they were listed as a substitute side for one of the specials on the blackboard menus. The burgers were good, classic and well done. The SW one has jalapenos, grilled onions and the menu says green chiles but seemed more like a slice of grilled green pepper. I think the grilled pepper somewhat downplays the rest of the burger, I could have done without it upon reflection. I think it would have helped the flavor. But the fries/tots were cooked just right and the service was nice and quick. Probably helped we were the only people there but still. Additional note - the restroom is for paying customers only, though you can pay a fee to use it. It is accessed on the outside of the building by key and it is not heated/part of the central building so is quite cold! But was well maintained and clean.

    Southwest burger and best onion rings!

    Our favorite restaurant to stop and grab one of their best burgers! Southwest burger is our favorite! Crispy onion rings as a side !! They also serve s great breakfast! Thanks Bobbi Jo and Royce for the delicious food you serve!

    Welcoming and cozy

    We drove in from Florence to the Halfway Cafe, located right next to the Walton store midway between Florence and Eugene on Hwy. 126. The restaurant was recently re-opened by owners who have created a down home style vibe with food to match. We went for breakfast. I had a wonderful housemade corned beef hash with two eggs and hash browns. My friends ordered French toast and a half order of biscuits and gravy, also made in house. Everything was tasty. Big portions. I took half of mine home. I am looking forward to returning to try lunch and dinner offerings, including the prime rib dinner special on Friday nights!!

    My husband & I love this place. The service is always great and the food is wonderful. If you like homemade chili, this is the place. I've heard all their in- house soups are wonderful (particularly their clam chowder, although I'm allergic to seafood and can't eat it myself). Friday night prime rib dinners are $18 and come with a (choice of ) potato and include sauted vegetables, a large salad and dessert. Hamburgers are made with the best quality of fresh ground beef, not the frozen patties so many cafes use. If you ar heading through Walton, Oregon don't miss this little gem of a place.

    Our breakfast.. 3 HUGE pancakes... chicken fried steak scramble.. soooo good!

Mondays & Tuesdays in Coos Bay & North Bend are disappointing, because many of the best restaurants are closed on those days. Not the case w/ Harbor Lights, they're open on all the days. I loved their smoked turkey sandwich & their Marionberry lemonade; I could probably eat that daily. The kids loved their pulled pork sandwich & hamburgers. They have friendly, great service each time we go. It's been impossible not to be a glutton here. I had cheesecake for dessert & a peanut butter pie to go. I wish they still had their lava cake, but they have plenty of other options to choose between. I'm looking forward to the next trip already.

You know what you're paying for, the view.....unless you're willing to pay even more; most likely the food will suck and the service will be bad because your waiter is crazy busy. Positives: -the prices were very reasonable and affordable. We got a lot of great tasting seafood and finished everything we had. The seafood boil was great. The stuffed mushrooms were amazing too. -service was great, our waitress was very honest giving us her honest opinion on what we should order. She recommended we share too instead of trying to sell us an additional dish. -ambiance, sitting outdoors on a waterfront you can't beat that. Overall 5/5 I honestly loved my experience so much that I'm ready to leave California behind. California is overrated, that's my honest opinion being a California native of almost 40 years. I used to love it and think that I would never want to leave. I can't say that anymore, especially recently.

    I had really been looking forward to visiting this restaurant, having heard about it a few months…read moreback. It was an enormous disappointment. When we arrived, we were waiting for a table. That's fine, except there were at four tables empty that we could see from where we were standing and more further into the restaurant where we couldn't see. We were the second party waiting, and it took about 10 minutes for just to be seated, which wasn't really an issue... but whilst we were waiting, a party of two walked in--when there were three parties of two waiting--and they immediately seated that party that came in several minutes after the rest of use who were still waiting had been standing there. Several minutes prior one of the servers had come to make a list of the waiting parties, so I'm not sure why these folks weren't added to that list and instead seated. The service was agonizingly slow. I don't know what the issue was; if they were short staffed or this was a normal day, but it was 15 minutes or so before our server came to take our order after she brought us water (which was of course a few minutes after we were seated). She apologized for the wait when she came for our order, so that suggested maybe it was unusual. I let her know when I placed the order that if my daughter's food was ready before mine, it was okay to bring that out ahead. But things didn't improve from there. Somehow, the people that were behind us in line and seated after us got their order before us, about nine minutes after we even got to place our order. We ordered our food at 9:54 am. Our order was a kids platter which is a pancake, egg, and a piece of bacon, and a McKenzie omelette without mushrooms. Nothing too crazy and not a lot of food, right? Our server didn't come back to us once after she took our order--not to ask if we wanted more water, if I wanted another lemonade, nothing. She walked by and looked apologetically at us a few times though, which I guess was supposed to make up for any service. After waiting about 25 minutes I finally had to wave the server over and asked her how much longer it was gonna be for our food to show up. She said that ours was the next order up and I asked her in minutes how long that was gonna be because I didn't know how long I was going to keep my toddler in an okay mood (she's an exceedingly patient and easy going child, but by this time we'd been at this restaurant over an hour). She went back and brought out my toddler's food. Fantastic, but imagine my surprise when it wasn't what was ordered. I had ordered the kids platter, remember? What came out was the Mickey Mouse pancake with a scrambled egg. I don't know how those two things could possibly have gotten mixed up because they're completely different from each other to the extent that they shouldn't even be entered similarly, since the only item that is the same is the pancake. But it had finally come out, it was cheaper than what I ordered, and at that point I just needed to give her something to eat. (She had sipped most of my marionberry lemonade by that time, so at least one of us got to enjoy it.) It was 33 minutes from the time we placed our order for a Mickey Mouse pancake and the single scrambled egg to show up at our table. I told the woman that I wanted the bill corrected since what she brought was $7.50 (the pancake $5.50, the egg a $2 add-on). My McKenzie Omelette didn't arrive until after 10:30, more than 36 minutes after I placed the order. When she brought it out, the server asked if I wanted a box and then asked if I wanted her to box it for me. Yes, I said, since I was not going to be able to stay and eat it there. She came back shortly thereafter with my meal boxed, along with my receipt which she said she took $5 off of (or her manager did, I guess, since she had said earlier that she needed her manager to correct the charge for the pancake for me). My thought was not to pat herself on the back too hard; they really only took $3 off the bill because I asked them to correct it and be charged for what we'd received, not for what I ordered. Beyond the service, one item to note is that the chairs at the tables all have arms, which isn't very comfortable for bigger folks. They appear not to have high chairs, but they do have a kid's menu and crayons. It seems like everyone else has a great experience here, and as I said at the start it may just have been an off day for them, but I'm not willing to bother finding out for myself. I left a tip and I shouldn't have; there was almost zero service and it was honestly one of if not the WORST experience I have ever had in a restaurant. I'm never coming here again and will make sure my friends and family know to skip it too.
