This place is awesome. We were in town for the day and sat outside in the picnic area with our husky. The view was incredible, the people working there were so friendly and the omelets were delicious! read more

After coming down the coast to visit Newport, we were looking for a good brunch spot along the way. We visited the Hilltop Cafe Bistro, and may I say, what a great experience! If you're from the Portland metro area and visit the coast, this is a nice place to try out. The portions were generous. The pancake order comes with four, and they are BIG. The potatoes were cooked with onion, which gives them a nice taste. The bacon also had a great texture; usually, when you try new diners, the bacon tends to be more squishy. If you're not a fan of that, then this bacon is for you!The biggest surprise was their sourdough toast. It had a crunchy crust, a fluffy inside, and great taste--you can definitely tell it's made from scratch every day! Overall, the staff was great. One thing to keep in mind is that there isn't much room; I'd say it holds about 40 to 50 people. Most dishes are around the $15-$20 mark, but for the generous portions and great taste, Hilltop Cafe Bistro is a 9.1/10! read more

We went for early dinner on a Thursday and it was not crowded. We sat near the kitchen and there was this smell, kind of like a dirty dishes smell, familiar to me from having worked in kitchens in the past. They have a TV on with still images showing. Service was friendly and we got our food pretty quickly. I liked my spinach salad. It was huge so I grabbed a to go box for the rest. This is right on the main road and it can be a little tricky to leave the parking lot and when it is busy I suspect it is hard to get a parking spot here. They have a lot of tasty sounding menu items so I would definitely consider trying this place again when I'm next in the area. read more

First time here, even though we have driven by many times in the past. On a weekend stay in Yachats, we decided to take the short drive north to Hilltop. Based on the reviews, we decided whichever side we got it would be the baked beans, not the slaw or potato salad. We split the Spicy Chicken Bacon Ranch wrap. It was VERY flavorful! The perfect amount of Jalapeños. Great choice! We loved it! And it was HUGE. So glad we split. And, yes, the baked beans were awesome. This will definitely be on our "coastal rotation". read more

We had the veggie omelet & the classic 2 egg breakfast with bacon. Excellent food. Hot, hot coffee & very nice staff. Lots of locals showed after we arrived, which says a lot for the bistro. Definitely would stop here again! read more

We have driven by here endless times but decided to give it a whirl for dinner. What a surprisingly good meal. I ordered the stroganoff on a whim and it was super good. My husband had the halibut, it was also good. The woman serving our neighbors was very informative about dishes [I shamelessly eavesdropped] which helped. She was very friendly. Our server was....efficient. I asked about the stroganoff -- is it good? she said "what do you want me to say? people order it.". Uh, ok. But, she was efficient. Thumbs up! read more

Great place! People here are awesome and the food is wonderful! We got the fusion burger and blue cheese burger. read more

Ordered from the right place for dinner tonight! Enjoyed the cedar plank salmon with ravioli, risotto and fresh veg along and a bowl of chowder. The salmon was fresh, perfectly seasoned & had that yummy cedar flavor! Risotto creamy, veg perfectly sautéed. The ravioli apparently has crab which is lost by the strong parmesan cheese. Otherwise, perfect meal. Hubby got the ahi sandwich, no blue cheese, with wasabi sauce and our kid had the farmer burger. All tasty bites. We will be back! read more

Husband had the portabella mushroom sandwich with baked beans, I had the 'shroom burger with potato salad. Everything was very good, and the beans and potato salad looked and tasted homemade. (I could've done with fewer onions in the potato salad, but that's a personal preference.) Then...dessert! Woot! Homemade blackberry pie! With whipped cream on top. Soooo good! Service was great, too, and the food came out quick. Thanks, Hilltop, for a great lunch experience read more

Always my first choice for breakfast and lunch too. Best breakfast sandwich and club sandwiches you can ever imagine with house cut sour dough. Never a wait either with inside or outside seating. These guys are amazing at everything they do! A must go when you're in the area! read more

Perfect food. I ordered off a la carte menu. Breakfast just the way I like it. Marion-berry compote is very well made. Not too sweet. Good for my sourdough bread and butter. Friend loved her Eggs Benedict with crab. Parking is easy, right off the road. Didn't wait long. Friendly service. read more

Great place to grab lunch on a Saturday afternoon - - especially if you have your puppy with you. This is an order at the counter type of place - - decent sized menu with lots of yummy sounding options. And gluten free buns!!! I ordered the fusion burger and it was huge. My plan was to cut it in half and tackle one side at a time but I failed - - one bite and it was all over the place. Still delicious though. They have indoor and outdoor dining - we sat at a picnic table outside with our pup. Bathrooms are inside on the left. Their parking lot isn't huge so parking can be tricky. read more

Hole in the wall place easy to miss as you drive by. Normally the parking lot is packed, but we were driving through between lunch and dinner and so curb our appetite with a very nice meal. read more

Good crab benedict and veggie benedict. Friendly staff! Okay biscuits and gravy. Would go again.

I've driven by this place several times and now I wish I stopped every time! Excellent food with even better service. The staff is incredible nice and genuine! Top notch service and the seating outside is wonderful read more

I fully expected Hilltop to be as disappointing as many places have been with minuscule portions, and ridiculously high prices---as is common to our fair Newport area. I was completely wrong about Hilltop! I am still packed from one of the best Paddy Melts on rye. Caramelized onions sweet as honey, two large perfectly cooked burgers, and rye that tastes like rye --- not paper. I would not be ashamed to bring anyone to this eatery. My wife's crab melt was a bit expensive but priced much better than a Georgie's or Moes. She loved it. This and the best baked beans I have eaten anywhere in my 72 years living around this country. Meal cost 17 bucks and 6 hours later I am still sporting a full gullet like a pelican. read more

Stopped for lunch on a recent trip to the coast. Plenty of outdoor seating and tables inside. Service was friendly and quick. We had a burger and hot dog. Sides of potato salad and coleslaw. Burger and dog were really good. Neither Cole slaw or potato salad had any flavor and the potatoes were really dry with no celery, eggs or anything. Basically mashed potatoes in mayo. read more

Cleanliness of the restaurant was great. Menu was simple and everything looked really good on the menu. Server, was polite and respectful. I noticed on the menu, if you order the basic ham n eggs breakfast with toast and home potatoes it's $16. If you order the same off the ala carte menu it's only $14. Food quality was lacking: Biscuits n gravy were cold and the biscuits were just shy of burnt and crusty on the bottom of them. Potatoes that were served weren't even edible, half the potatoes either were over-held in warmers or were yesterday's potatoes mixed with freshly made today. The texture of half of the potatoes were dried out and horribly stale, other half was pretty tasty. I didn't ask for replacement because there was only 2 people working and I'd figured the replacements would be just as bad. Sorry, but this was not a great visit read more

The first time I came here I thought the crab melt was divine, including the sides. No more. Tried to eat there Thursday. There was only one other table occupied. The server warned us not to order a hot drink of any kind because she was the only one there. (!) no matter that it was a cold, foggy, windy, drizzly day. Then the food came. While the crab melt looked fine, it did not seem fresh. But the worst was the potato salad I ordered. She set down a dish of what at first glance looked like sour cream. There were lumps in it that apparently were potatoes. I said I couldn't eat it and she did not acknowledge how gross it looked, just asked if I wanted something else. I said potato chips and she came back with the salt and pepper variety. Paid and left. Never going back. read more

It's an unassuming little place on highway 101 in Waldport, Or. We were served in next-to-no-time (contrast this with yesterday's breakfast at The Little Brown Hen). I had the Dungeness crab omelet - it had actual chunks of crab in it -- very enjoyable! Decent coffee. And they take credit cards. read more

Delicious fare, prepared with finesse & efficiency. Lindsey greeted us at the counter, (which is where you order). Grab their menu - have a seat to peruse it = there are many options! Return to the counter, place your order - sit back down, and it'll be served to you by someone with a smile. The vibe is relaxed, and there are cool, sea themed copper art pieces hanging on the wall. read more

The food was delicious. I had clam chowder and shrimp salad. My wife had crab cakes. Both meals were delightful and reasonably priced for the area. Service was great. We had 10 for a reunion and they sat us all together. Our service was amazing. It was a clean and good ambiance with no problems. I would definitely return if I was in the area again. Note: parking is a small area. We went at 5:30 for dinner on a Thursday and found places for all three cars. Clam Chowder, read more

We were excited to try this place out as it's always talked about. It was nice, cozy, clean, and the waitstaff was kind. The prices were on the steeper side ($18-20 for burgers and $25 for plates). My husband and I each ordered a different kind of burger with a different side (I ordered potato salad and he got coleslaw). For the price, we got a burger on the smaller side and an ice cream scoop worth of our side. We thought, "well it looks great so probably worth it anyway!" Everything was lacking flavor. Very bland. No salt or seasoning whatsoever. The burgers were overdone and burnt and that was the only think we could taste on both the mushroom burger and teriyaki/pineapple burger. There was not even ketchup offered or on the table. Just a blah, flavorless, burnt burger. The potato salad had zero flavor so I loaded it up with salt and then it tasted fine. The cole slaw was very bitter tasting. It was all weird. We really wanted to like this place and have it be our new place to go. But we won't return. Maybe it was a fluke and a bad cook the day we went but we couldn't understand what people were raving about. read more

Delightful. Delicious. Divine. And the Worlds Best Cup of Coffee! Food service and ambience.

TBH, we had planned in advance to eat at another place and found it was closed. So we scrambled and decided on Hilltop Cafe Bistro. It's a simple rustic building with a small dining room in two halves, divide by the entrance. We were seated quickly. The menu had starters, sandwiches, pastas, steaks and seafood. The one server kept an eye on all tables and was responsive to all. After answering a few questions we had, she took our order for bbq ribs and a French dip and hot tea. Our food came quickly and was piping hot. The French dip was good and came with baked beans (our choice). The ribs were tender and good. The prices were excellent for the quality and quantity of the dishes. read more

Very yummy food, fresh, refills no, kinda nice people BUTTTTTT TERRIBLEEEEE PARKING ESPECIALLY BEING ON 101 I feel like I'm going to get hit and please fix or add more parking it can even be like across the street or something. read more

This place is a great stop on your way to Newport. The food is great! The portions are HUGE, and the service is the best. We came here 3 out of our 4 day stay. We loved the breakfast sandwiches, the ham breakfast sandwich was our favorite. Lots of meat. My husband loved the Reuben burger. He got it twice!! The pastrami was super yummy. I had the jalapeño burger and the chicken bacon wrap. We will definitely be coming back here when we visit. read more

Hilltop Cafe Bistro is a must go on the oregon coast! The food was homemade and delicious. I would recommend the breakfast potatoes and anything with the berry compote! You order and pay upfront and they bring you your food. The service was quick and friendly. There was plenty of seating available on a weekday, but I'm Sure they get busy on the weekend. I will definitely be back to try their lunch/dinner menu. read more

Always great! Quick, friendly service, fantastic food & adorable little spot--What's not to love??

Opps, I first experienced this establishment a few years ago. I'm pretty sure they had just opened. I rented a "VRBO!" That was right next door. Great service and excellent prepared breakfast dishes. I'm back on the Oregon coast for the summer and stopped in a few weeks ago. Same great service and reasonable prices. I ordered the salmon Benedict with those excellent potatoes. The place is still very well operated. read more

4.5 stars for the good quality food. Clam Chowder is very good, lots of clams in it, don't have flour in it at all. Grilled salmon, wonderful, can taste the wood burned flavor, risotto is delicious! The burger is also good, good home made tasty burger. Crab cake is just ok, maybe more crab will be better. Chocolate Torte is worth to try for dessert. Nice service, cozy environment, outdoor seating with ocean view. read more
