The only con about this place is how busy it gets! BUT it's for good reason. The food here is awesome! Come hungry and expect hearty portions. My family and I all left very full. Even though it was busy, the waiters were attentive and did a great job checking in sporadically throughout our meal. Definitely pay this place a visit! read more

Cute place. It's small and fills up fast and I can definitely see why. The portions are generous and the food tastes great! Prices were reasonable. Sourdough wheat bread is made fresh and you can purchase a loaf to take with you (great if you're staying at the coast a few days). We ordered the redneck Benedict with a side of bacon and an omelette. Fantastic choices! Of course we both upgraded our hashbrowns to the German potatoes because who doesn't love Tillamook white cheddar and onion in the mix! The pies looked amazing and the cookies four for a dollar, I couldn't pass up. If you're thinking of trying this place, do it! They also have daily specials. Great service, tasty food and left happy! read more

Still a 5-star in my opinion. I will start by saying everything tasted good and the portions are more than adequate. I am stuffed. That said this was the "worst" plate I've had. I got French Toast and added a side of 2-eggs and a sausage patty. Eggs were slightly overcooked in that the yolk was starting to solidify on one. The sausage patty was tasty and had good spices without being over the top but it was slightly dry. I got the small size regular French toast made with their whole wheat bread. It was one thick slice cut into four points and had great flavor. The only downside was that only one point had soaked long enough to get that custard-like interior making the other points a bit on the dry chewy side. This is just nit picking but an honest opinion. Friendly service and the overall good food keeps me coming back. read more

Otis Cafe - Large Slice Of French Toast Two Eggs, Any Style Sausage Patty - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lincoln City, Oregon

I can't visit Lincoln City without dining at Otis Cafe, restaurant with hard working staff that cares about great service & food, the way restaurants, especially the local mom & pop places used to be. So much enthusiasm covering each customer, genuine hospitality & smiles, and tastes that really pop. I love their breakfast but got in around noon so ordered a cheeseburger and wow, homemade bun, fresh ground beef, fresh tomato & lettuce topped off with Tillamook white cheese, it was perfect. They didn't have fries, must not have a fryer, but their German potatoes is something else, hash browns with sweet & green onion topped with Tillamook white cheese that I did not dare cover with my usual ketchup. It was busy, which I'm happy for the establishment that they are doing great business, can be a little too noisy but that is the price to pay for going to a great restaurant, plus I always love taking home a loaf of their sourdough wheat bread & a couple shakers of their own seasoning for my own grilling. read more

This is a small (15 tables) local breakfast and lunch hotspot! They will get you in, and out in a very short amount of time, like 35 minutes. The atmosphere is loud and happy and seems to be filled with locals, which in my opinion is a good thing. The service was exceptions from the hostess, to server and bus person. All working hard to please! The food was better than average. I ordered some scrambled eggs with pancakes. The eggs were real eggs and fluffy, the pancakes were enormous! A bit yeasty for my taste, but my husband liked them! Overall, a good experience, but not a place to have a quiet cup of coffee at 10:00 am on a Tuesday on June 2nd. read more

WOW, this is the way a restaurant should be run! Have driven by several times and the parking lot is ALWAYS full and People waiting outside. We came in at 11 AM on a Tuesday, parking lot full and folks waiting outside. Gave them our name and told us 45 min, YIKES!! In less than 15 minutes we were in and in less than 15 min more we had our food... The table were CLEAN, not sticky, fully stocked with salt and pepper, jellies, napkins, silverware and condiments. Jorge, our server was one of the best servers anywhere and extremely attentive to all our wants and needs. We ordered coffee, ice tea, Chicken Fried Steak and with sausage gravy, eggs, hash browns and sour dough toast, Chorizo Scramble and two cinnamon rolls to take home. UPDATE, THE CINNAMON ROLLS WERE OUTSTANDING, very large!!!!!!! Everything came from the kitchen in no time, was hot and delicious. So much food with the Chicken Fried steak (so tender could cut it with a fork) had to take it home in a to go bag. We arrived at the restaurant at 11AM, waited, seated, ordered, ate and left at 12 noon. This is a well run operation, the staff was constantly cleaning, setting up new tables, bringing water coffee etc. NOT ONE EMPLOYEE WAS STANDING AROUND, they were busy little bees. They turn a lot in tables in an hour!!! Rated a 4 because my eggs were over cooked and toast was not toasted very much. read more

We went there for New Year's Day breakfast and it was incredible. Had banana bread french toast and bought several loaves of fresh bread that are the best. Our server was so happy and made us feel at home. A great place to eat for breakfast or lunch, you can't go wrong. I even stopped back by on my way out of town to get more bread to share with friends and family. read more

I arrived as a party of 2 around 9:30 on a Tuesday, was seated around 9:45, and got our food around 10:00. So pretty quick service for a busy cafe! The staff is absolutely the sweetest and seemed very enthusiastic. They checked in on us just the perfect amount-- not too frequent or infrequent. They seemed proud of the food and service they provide, which I appreciated. The cafe felt very typical homey diner and I thought it was very unique that they have/sell their own seasoning blend and ceramics. Clean and tidy. German Potatoes 5/5 I ordered a HALF order of German potatoes with an egg and bacon. And oh my goodness, this was so much food. The dish arrived and stayed hot during the entire time I was eating. They really piled on the bacon and cheese and it balanced the potatoes well. I loved adding their seasoning salt to the potatoes! Biscuits and Gravy 5/5 We ordered a full order and originally thought it would only be two biscuits. So imagine our surprised when SIX GIANT fluffy biscuits smothered in gravy came out! I genuinely felt like this one dish could've fed a family. The gravy was thick and full of flavor. The biscuits were fluffy and huge. The total was around $33 which is an absolute steal for basically 4 portions of amazing food. I would love to visit again if I'm ever in town. read more

Service was so quick and friendly! The tables are pretty close together but it wasn't loud. While I appreciate the time they take to make their potatoes and bread our potatoes weren't as crispy as expected. We took the left overs home and they were better the next day. The bread is very thick but come already over buttered. I'll ask for dry next time. My made to order veg omelet was so full of broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, and spinach was so good! His ham and cheese omelet was overflowing with filling. read more

Otis Cafe is hands down the best brunch spot in Lincoln City. It does get busy really fast, but it's absolutely worth the wait. Thankfully, we arrived at the perfect time and didn't have to wait long at all. Our order was taken shortly after we were seated, and compared to others around us, our food came out pretty quickly. The service was great and efficient. We ordered the chicken fried steak with sausage gravy, sunny-side-up eggs, molasses bread, and subbed the hash browns for their famous German potatoes. The chicken fried steak was seasoned to perfection--crispy on the outside while still juicy on the inside. The sausage gravy was very flavorful; you truly don't need to season this dish at all. The German potatoes are essentially Tillamook cheese with onions and green onions on top. I'm not usually a big cheese fan, so it was a bit much for me personally, but we wanted to try it--and I did love the onions mixed in. We also shared one sourdough pancake, which surprisingly was so yummy and just the right size for sharing. Everything was super flavorful, the portions were huge (even sharing, we couldn't finish everything), and the prices were very reasonable--around $31 total for all of this. We would definitely come back and highly recommend Otis Cafe to anyone visiting Lincoln City. read more

Otis Cafe - Chicken fried steak, eggs, molasses bread, sub hash browns with German potatoes (what they're known for) & 1 sourdough pancake. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lincoln City, Oregon

Otis is a must try if you're visiting or even new to the area! Their food is amazing and served in perfect portions! Their bread is made in house and is a must!! Sometimes we even take a loaf home. I live over an hour away and have to go at least once a month because the food is just that good! To top it off, their service is amazing with friendly and kind staff who make it easy to return! The ambiance inside is open and bright, especially on sunny days because of the large windows. Beware: if you order the German Potatoes that a full order is MASSIVE!!! For context, I only order the quarter order for myself. Definitely recommend, 10/10! read more

10/10 my favorite brunch spot in the city. Their cinnamon rolls are absolutely amazing, and famous for a reason. They run out fast so grab them early on while you can Their German potatoes are very filing, delicious and their portions are generous. This was a half order and I still couldn't finish in one go lol Their service was top notch even with the rush. I loved that our waitress gave good recommendations and told me to get a half instead of a full as it is a big portion. Great location with a nice view read more

Ok-don't judge! This is our 2nd trip here & it's consecutive! We just couldn't resist! Today we ordered the Biscuits & Gravy, Bread Pudding French Toast, & a side of that thick, delicious bacon! Again- we loved our meals! The biscuits aren't just "huge"- they're almost 3 inches thick & the size of manholes! The french toast was super dense & sweet-almost unforkable with the whipped butter & syrup on top! Today we observed a steady stream of people waiting before & after us to be seated & a steady flow of traffic turning into the parking lot! However, we only waited 10 minutes to be seated. read more

Well we are spending a couple days in Lincoln City. So, we thought we would try Otis Cafe. It was busy for a weekday morning, and we made our order of biscuits and gravy with hash browns. We got fresh coffee and water, and our waitress was very attentive. We got our order a few minutes later. So we were eating and both thought were is the biscuits? So we continued eating and no biscuits . We went on to eat a little more and were both puzzled we had no biscuits. I asked my wife did she want to bring it up to the waitress and she decided not too. We both realized this was too much carbs and ate very little. We went and paid for our breakfast and my wife brought up the concern to the cashier who was a little condesending over the discussion about not getting biscuits . She came across as though it was not the servers mistake it was ours. She did nothing to correct it by offering some resolution to make our experience better. We did not spend much but it was the attention to the customer interaction that could have been so much better. We looked at other tables and the food looks good. The cost is not too bad. What could have been done better is the waitress could have explained if you order this it only comes with this item so if you want another option here is xyz . Yeah we missed it on the menu that it is either biscuits and gravy or gravy and hash browns which is what we got. Would I recommend yes will I go back no. So you be the judge and read the menu carefully because you may get something that you don't want and you cannot rely on the waitress to correct you . Yours truly the food reviewer. read more

So it's been several days since I've visited and I can't stop thinking about those tasty German potatoes I had. After driving down the coast, I popped in around closing time to grab a bite. Seems like a nice spot to grab breakfast dishes. It wasn't crazy busy and they still seated a couple people even though it was nearly 2. Host was super nice and accommodated my take out order. I got a 1/4 order of the German potatoes, and added bacon crumbles/bits. Although it's a 1/4 order, it was a hefty portion. Potatoes and onions smothered in white cheddar and topped with bacon bits and green onions. I honestly was not expecting it to be anything special but it was very delicious and hit the spot!! I would definitely go back and enjoy a meal at Otis Cafe. read more

I wish we had a restaurant like this where I live!! The folks working there really like and respect each other, you can see it in their positive interactions with each other. That is rare. Sat at the counter. Food was excellent, ordered the #2 breakfast which included 2 eggs (broken over hard), hash browns, toast, and bacon. Everything was cooked to perfection, and the quantities were astounding!! I didn't have to eat anything else all day long. I also ordered a small bottle of their seasoning salt while I was there. Oh, and their sign at the bathroom is hilarious. Old school country music brought back lots of memories, and loved hearing the folks singing along. I would definitely dine here again if I am ever in Lincoln City again!! read more

Definitely worth it ! They are quick with service so they don't have you waiting forever and the food is good ! The bread and pastries are made from scratch so any type of French toast is amazing! Was there when they had a banana bread French toast and had that one trip which was amazing and then split the cinnamon roll French toast and banana bread French toast the second time. We went on a Thursday and then Saturday. The serving size of the banana bread French toast was larger on the weekday versus the weekend was the only difference. But overall the vibe is what you would expect from a good coastal breakfast spot ! read more

Yum!! That's all you need to know. But if you'd like more details keep reading. There was a 25 min wait when we arrived (famished) on Tuesday around 10:00ish so we almost bailed. It seemed like the tables were turning over and people exiting looked very satisfied. I'm so glad we hung in there! They have a varied menu with something for everyone. Our party ordered German Potatoes, chicken fried steak, Sitka omelet served as a scramble, and plain ole scrambled eggs with side of fruit. Service was fast and friendly. The coffee wasn't up to my standards but the black molasses bread made up for it. I would go back just for the black molasses bread! read more

TL;DR: Generous proportions. Breakfast all day. Bakery items for sale. Something I found interesting -- this diner does not have french fries. You could mug someone with the Pumpkin Loaf -- it's tasty too. Bread is made in house. Parking: small private lot. Atmosphere: fast paced small diner. Service: wait to be seated, menu and check brought to the table, you will be watered. You can purchase bakery items at the counter next to the entrance/exit. Kid Friendliness: No kids menu. Booster seats available. Kids will be given a paper cup with a lid and straw. Menu: No pictures for the visually stimulated but descriptions are sufficient enough. Your server will tell you the daily specials and the specials are also written on a white board above the kitchen in case you forget -- it's a handful of items. Apple-baked Ham and White Cheddar: I chose the grilled option. The cheese was nicely melted and the bread was satisfyingly thick and soft with a slight crispy outer layer. The ham on the other hand was a bit on the dry and chewy side in my opinion and I wasn't too impressed with the flavor -- it just tasted like salted meat. The proportion of meat was nice but the quality just wasn't there. Basic Burger: Burger comes deconstructed (onions, pickle, tomato, shredded lettuce on the side). Though the presentation was nice, I found it slightly annoying when trying to pick up all the shredded lettuce to place into my burger. Everything looked and tasted fresh though. Mayo was already on the bun, no ketchup but ketchup is at the table. I chose the potato chips as the side -- they are crinkle cut, not overly salted, and crunchy but pretty average. Beef Pot and Barley Soup: thick and hearty. Tastes almost like a chicken pot pie but beef flavored and in soup form, especially with the oyster crackers. It is very filling by itself. The only complaint I have is that it wasn't as hot as I expected a soup to be. I expect soup to be pipping hot off the stove where you have to use your birthday candle blowing breath to cool down before a bite and not just hot enough to eat right off the bat. If soup is not hot enough it, makes me think that it was either sitting out too long or was microwaved. Pumpkin Bread: I personally like pumpkin bread so I thought I'd take home a loaf to try out. This thing is DENSE. I was so surprised at how heavy the loaf was when I picked it up -- you could mug someone with this thing, haha! It isn't overly sweet and has just enough moisture content. Very satisfying to have with a cup of joe. Snickerdoodle Cookie: Large cookie that isn't too crumbly and has an even moisture content. Not overly sweet and is great for that tiny sweet tooth craving you may or may not have but you probably want to have. ;) Coffee Cake: was sold out before we even sat down for lunch so I presume it must be good. So if you see it, nab it! read more
