This place is a gem. The dining area is like stepping back into your grandmothers house - cozy, bright, and welcoming. The wait staff is cheerful and efficient. The food was creative and thoughtfully prepared! I am so lucky to have stumbled upon McKay Cottage for breakfast before heading back to North Carolina! read more

Cozy Brunch Spot offering unique Seasonal Mimosas & Cocktails. The indoor dining spaces have lots of windows and natural lighting and the stone fireplace gives McKay Cottage that cozy feel. We sat outside in the heated tent with our fur baby - they are dog- friendly. Food & Service are fantastic! Lives up to reputation for being best Brunch Spot in Bend. Hubby had classic Eggs Benedict that he said was very good. I started with a warm Chai and a Bobbin for Apples Mimosa which was magical. Having read the reviews I was prepared to order the stuffed croissant French toast. Last minute change of heart- I ordered the Gobbler, a roast turkey sandwich on a croissant with a flavor profile reminiscent of Thanksgiving. The sweetness of the fig jam played well with the poached pear, savory turkey and peppery arugula. Dessert will have to wait until our next visit. The pastry counter at the front of the restaurant displays cinnamon roles, scones, muffins and impressive cakes. There's even a marionberry and white chocolate bread pudding that would make a wonderful brunch choice. read more

We ordered the daily special which was like a form of Mexican Benny. I absolutely loved the rich, hollandaise sauce. There was something extra about it that was delicious. We also ordered had the grilled bfast sandwich and the Baja chikn hash stack. The coffee was robust not like other places where coffee tastes like dirty water lol Will return again. read more

Cozy cottage, definitely. We were seated inside quickly (20 minutes at noon on a Saturday?!) and started with an amazing Irish coffee and Bloody Mary. However the server was not great. She took our orders in an odd order, spoke into her writing pad (despite several in our party saying they couldn't hear her over the ambient noise) and refused to come closer. She forgot several items we ordered (side of bacon, toast, mimosas, etc.). Ok maybe an off day. But the food took almost an hour from when we were seated. THE FOOD WAS GREAT. The lemon ricotta pancakes were amazing. The white bean chicken chili was amazing. The cornbread and "butter scone" were meh. (Not a scone... more like dry-ish pound cake.) The drinks were fantastic. Then once we asked for our bill to be split, it took several visits by the server and another 20 minutes. Just... odd. Considering we were trying to get out the door to do some hiking, it was a little frustrating. So. Yes, food was excellent. But the service is not good and the ambiance is very loud. read more

The food is amazing! The avocado toast and eggs is some of the best flavor combo I've had in a while. The staff were helpful and friendly. The cottage vibe is sweet. The scones...you've got to try them! read more

Yeah, this one I don't get. An hour long wait on a Saturday, coffee drink or was wrong, never got a refill on my soft drink, cinnamon roll came out cold, food took 38 minutes. Eggs were underdone with runny whites. Potatoes were bland. Received chicken sausage, instead of regular. Honestly about the only thing that was above anywhere close to average we're the fries. $80 after tip. read more

Loved the cozy cottage bookshelf ambiance perfect for Bend's moody weather. Came in at 7:30 am some of the first of the morning and had a moment of calm before the bustle picked up. The portions are massive, probably the largest breakfast burrito I have ever eaten. One entree per person will definitely fill you up, and we boxed a lot of our food up after. The carnitas Benedict had a fluffy flavorful moist jalapeño cheddar biscuit which perfectly soaked up the chipotle hollandaise. Paired with runny egg, avocado, generous heaps of carnitas (a bit on the dry side but once the hollandaise soaked through improved with every bite) and crispy potatoes- I was delighted with the breakfast meal. Great spot and super full and busy by the time we left. read more

After an intense evening at the Oregon Whiskey Festival, breakfast at McKay Cottage was exactly what the doctor ordered. I went for the fruit plate, which was loaded with fresh bananas, berries, pineapple, and more--basically a perfect potassium pick-me-up. It even came with two tasty dipping options. We sat outside to enjoy the crisp Bend air, and the service couldn't have been better--friendly, attentive, and super quick. McKay Cottage definitely lived up to its reputation for great food and even better vibes. Next time, when I'm not recovering from whiskey flights, I'm definitely trying the stuffed French toast or strawberry crepes. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a delicious and relaxing breakfast in Bend! read more

I've always wanted to try this place when visiting Bend. But it's always so busy. (it seems people really like their food) It was a busy Saturday but we were able to get a table for 2 rather quickly. The setting was so homey to me. I felt like we were sitting in someone's home. It was a very well oiled machine with how well all the workers were taking care of their customers. The sandwiche was delicious and so tasty, very fresh. It was as if they had a fresh garden out there back door. Make sure you stop off at the bakery before you leave. I got some for the road and they didn't disappoint. Can't wait to go back. read more

Lovely breakfast spot that seems to be super popular (especially on a Friday morning during the summer season). When you give your name at the parking lot entrance, they have a cute area to sit and grab a free cuppa coffee (or water). Of course they'll also take a drink order! Once seated, we gave our meal orders. The scones came out within 10 minutes, but our meals took another 30 minutes. Very delicious (eventually), but the timing was a bit awkward. Highlight was the wonderful potatoes and homemade ketchup (I bought a bottle to take home!) read more

We went there for breakfast the place was packed and we had to wait 30 mins for a table, but as you wait they have coffee and ice water you help your self while you wait to be called. I had the eggs Benedict with the roasted potatoes and the egg Benedict they use smoked ham in stead of Canadian bacon. The roasted potatoes were very good and also the eggs Benedict. The vegetables omelet was also very good and roasted potatoes, it also came with a scone and their own berry jam. The French toast with the fresh banana was very good and tasty. Service was fast and you can use credit card with a 3.5 percent charge or pay cash to eliminate the 3.5 extra charge. The restroom was clean and they are pet friendly and bring a water bowl for your peg and they have doggie bones in a jar. read more

The best biscuits and gravy we've had hands down. Hubby said he would drive 4 hours to have again. However, the cinnamon french toast left more to be desired. There was about a 45 minute wait which we checked on one more place nearby however similar wait time so we came back, which thankfully we our name in just in case. While waiting, they brought water with ice for our dog. They have a website that shows where you are in queue and how long your wait time has been to that point. We were seated in the very back which was perfect for my anxious pup so she did not worry about what or who is behind her. All the staff were amazing and 100% on their service. Patio had umbrella coverage with sunshine coming thru in some areas. We took in the beautiful ambiance of it all. We really need a summer home here! read more

This is a popular place! 15 min wait at 11:30 on a Tuesday in December. (Which I realize isn't bad... I just haven't had to wait anywhere for lunch yet... I'm fairly new to the area.) I got the Southern Hash which is poached egg and hollandaise on potatoes and veggies and feta. Holy. It was so good. The fruit cup was too! Fresh pineapple and tasty berries! I was happy to have the gluten free option but I should have gone with my gut and requested a muffin instead of a scone. I could tell when I saw them in the case that they were dried out from sitting there sliced open. Muffins are self-contained and hold moisture better so I'll try that next time! read more

McKay Cottage lived up to its reputation as the best breakfast in Bend. We tried to come Sunday but the wait was too long (not a bad thing), so we came back on a Tuesday and got seated within 10 minutes. We enjoyed the laid back patio and tasty mimosas and fresh coffee. The Baja has stack was delicious & I couldn't eat it all. The smoked salmon benny was fresh and the salmon was smoked perfectly. The SCONES I got the Marionberry scone that came with the best French butter. I could have eaten 10 of them. Our server was attentive and we enjoyed speaking to her. If we lived in Bend, this would be a regular spot for us. read more

Our server was so friendly and nice! She was very attentive and offered great recommendations, including the sticky bun, which was our favorite part of the meal! Portions are huge - I struggled to eat just the eggs on my plate, let alone the potatoes and sticky bun. Got a drip coffee which was just okay, but the bloody with the spicy vodka was phenomenal. Would recommend!! read more

As usual, awesome breakfast and friendly folks. Long wait on Valentines Day (to be expected) 1.5 hrs. But we know that going in. Worthwhile. Able to have a Bloody Mary before we got in which was nice. Might split a meal next time since it's so much. We ended up in the tent again but it was warm in there with the heaters going and plenty of light. They have it all decorated for V day. read more

Wonderful, quaint ambiance in an historic house with friendly service. Food is wonderful and they have a pasty case at the entrance for one to peruse if there's a wait. This place is popular, so bring a good book, or companion, and be prepared for the wait; it's worth it. read more

The food was very good!! It's good quality, the flavor is great and the presentation is awesome. My husband liked the French toast!! Unfortunately there were some negatives to our experience. We arrived just before opening and were seated right away. It was 45 min before we got our breakfast. The waiter did explain at the end of our meal that they had a lot of to-go orders and made them before our meal. I realize it was probably a lot to take on but in my opinion if customers take the time and effort to dine in the restaurant, they should be taken care of a bit better. The other thing I didn't care for was I ordered a 1/2 Eggs Benedict and no accompanying potatoes, just the 1/2. The waiter suggested I get fruit instead of the potatoes, so I did. The standard Eggs Benedict with potatoes is 22.00. I was billed $18.00 for the 1/2 with no potatoes and in addition I was charged for the fruit. I don't mind paying for my breakfast but it would have been nice to have been made aware, so I could make the decision about my meal. That said, we would not hesitate to return if in the area but we would be smarter about asking questions. read more

Such a great little hole-in-the-wall spot! We found this place while on vacation, and it was a fantastic experience. The food was delicious, the portions were decent, and the service was top-notch. Since it was our first time, we got a free cinnamon roll and wow, it was sooo good! Our server was super friendly and fast, and the food came out quickly. It looks like it gets pretty busy on weekends, but we had a smooth experience. My boyfriend and I were sharing, and they even split everything onto two plates for us before serving, such a thoughtful touch! The decor had a cozy, homey feel, and we sat next to a bookshelf filled with cookbooks and cool recipes. Definitely check this place out if you're in town! read more

McKay Cottage Restaurant - So delicious! - American Near Me - Bend, Oregon

Looking for a breakfast spot, my husband and I made our way to McKay Cottage on a Saturday morning. We were fortunate enough to time our arrival where we arrived before the bulk of the morning brunch rush. By the time we left the restaurant, the entire parking lot was full, and there was at least a 45 minute wait. We were seated right away inside and placed our order for two cold brew coffees. The coffees came out right away and were absolutely delicious. After we placed our order for breakfast, we got deep in conversation and planning out the rest of our day. After quite some time, I looked up and realized that not only did we not have our food, but most of the other tables around us who were seated after us were already eating or wrapping up their checks. It had been 45 minutes since we had placed our food order and when I asked our waiter where our food might be, he said it was because I had ordered pancakes that it was taking so long. I glanced at the table next to ours where three individuals at that table were currently enjoying pancakes, so I'm not sure why he used that as his excuse. The hiccup with our food order perhaps being misplaced aside, the food itself was delicious. I ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes with a side of chicken apple sausage. My husband ordered a chorizo hash special. He was slightly disappointed in the chorizo as it was not truly an authentic chorizo-style sausage, but more of an Italian-style sausage. The lemon ricotta pancakes were fluffy and filling. I did think it was a little bit of highway robbery to charge five dollars for a single, small chicken apple sausage that they cut in half. All in all, I think McKay Cottage could be a real five star experience if there hadn't been so many bumps along the way. If I ever find myself back in Bend, I would definitely give this place another shot. read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed McKay's before! This has been a staple breakfast spot for my family for the last 20 years. We no longer live in central Oregon, so when we visit, a stop at McKays is required. The biggest argument I can make for this restaurant being amazing is that the waitstaff has been consistent for the entire time we have been going...which speaks volumes to the culture of this place. Oh, and the food is amazing. If you haven't been, this is your sign to go now. Don't be afraid of the outside seating during the winter months...it's heated and they have blankets. Stop reading the reviews and go...you won't regret it! read more

Wow! What a great place to nosh the morning away! We went in a Monday and the place was hopping-can't imagine what a Saturday would be like! An efficient and well oiled operation! You walk up the stairs to give your name at the host station. If you turn right there is a coffee/tea station you can enjoy while waiting. Turn thru the doorway and there is a bar and a pastry shop. We grabbed a key lime mimosa (refreshing if a bit sweet) a classic mimosa and a huckleberry scone to tide us over for our 45 minute wait. We were texted our table was ready and were seated under the tent outdoors. Lovely potted plants were doting the area. We dined in carnitas hash (carnitas, potatoes, corn) with poached eggs and salsa with classic scone on the side. I had a carnitas salad. Carnitas, corn, avocado, black beans, tomato, red pepper with a delicious cilantro lime dressing and tortilla chips. THE FRIED JALAPEÑO RINGS ARE CRACK! Emma R was our server and she was wonderful. Noted in the receipt that all tips are shared amount the staff including kitchen. Wonderful business model and clearly works well-everyone was humming along and helping each other out. read more

It is obvious why they have such a high rating...it is that good. We were in Bend for a concert and met up with some friends that we had not seen in many years. They recommended meeting at McKay Cottage Restaurant and they could not have picked a better breakfast place. They were quoting a 30 minute wait at 10:00, and parking was full. I parked in the Petco lot nearby. Great food and server. Haeli was incredibly friendly and genuine, as she was an exceptional treat. My wife had the breakfast potatoes which she enjoyed at breakfast and later into the evening as left overs. It also came with a tasty scone that I was not allowed to eat...ha ha. Our friend had the Breakfast Burrito which was also perfect. I had the Classic Benedict and it was phenomenal. The hollandaise in particular was well prepared, and I like the fact that they serve ham instead of Canadian Bacon for their Benedict. Now we definitely have a restaurant to return to for breakfast on our next trip to Bend. read more

No bar for single diners to sit at. Extremely frustrating. I'd come here regularly if the had one. As it stands, I very rarely go.

Been to this place many times over the years, even before it got super popular. Such a cute cottage, small but still good amount of seating, and extra seating in the tent outside. Service is always great, waiters are kind, attentive, and friendly, and don't even get started on the food. Everything is delicious, the gourmet breakfast sandwich has been a recent favorite though! Highly recommend, just beware it can get pretty busy. read more

I had breakfast here with my pup in tow. While waited to be seated I started with the Locals Lemon Drop. Beautifully presented & so tasty. They seated us at a table under the tent & near some trees. This was perfect for both me & my dog. The waitress brought him water & a huge dog bone. I had the poblano hash with 2 poached eggs & a huckleberry lemon scone. The waitress brought out the scone first & an iced dirty chai latte. Both, So incredibly delicious!! The scone was flaky & packed with berries. Then she brought out the poblano hash. Perfect amount of poblanos, potatoes & other vegetables. They put 2 perfectly poached eggs on top. With a couple dashes of their house made hot sauce, it was so good! I ordered my pup 2 pork sausages which he gobbled down. I went on a Monday, so busy but got in with only a 15 minute wait. If you go Thursday through Sunday, make a reservation!! read more

I have been coming here at least once a year for the past 4 years and this was the first time I was genuinely so disappointed in the food. I'm not sure what changed but everything was so bland.

Most important in a breakfast place in my eyes is the coffee. Theirs was good and they were not stingy. The other bellwether for a breakfast spot is their corned beef hash. I have to say this is in my top ten. Plenty of corned beef, light on the shaved (!) potatoes, sweet red pepper. I didn't even have to ask for poached eggs as that was built in. A fabulous dish. Perhaps building the Lilly: a fabulous huckleberry scone. This is a winner! read more
