Kind of a hip dive bar meets delicious food with a sprinkle of old timers ready to share a story or two with you while you wait. We got burgers, cuz duh... Look at these things!! I got mine with a side salad instead of fries and my friend got the fries. All of it was delicious. There was zero chance either of us were able to finish these monsters so the rest came home with us. The side salad was amazing! Fries were delicious. And the burgers did not disappoint. The guy at the counter was super friendly and everyone in the establishment gave off a friendly vibe. Happy they were the only place open when we were driving through. We would definitely visit again.

Cons: -Service 1/5: Ordered 2 pizzas and they told us it…read morewould be an hour and a half wait. It took a total of TWO hours and 15 minutes, and that's AFTER we went up to the counter to ask about the pizza progress. No apologies from staff once pizza came. -Food 3/5: Pizza was not bad, just not memorable. It's heavy, but I mean..it's pizza. Their ranch was prob my favorite food item & my family thought the wings were alright. -Ambiance 3/5: It's the exact vibe of what you would expect from a dive bar, but the staff obviously favors locals-only. Tourists may feel like all eyes are on them. Pros: -One of few places for late-night dinner/grub. -Allows you to experience a Port Orford locals' bar spot. -There's karaoke apparently on Saturday nights which may be fun to check out. TLDR: If you do need a late-night spot for food, do not get the pizza...NOT worth the wait. Grab some apps & beers and just enjoy the local bar vibe of Port Orford.

First place we tried when we got to Brookings…read more Great food and service. Came here with the family. We got 2 pizzas that were shareable sizes. We got a margherita and all meat. Both really good and made in their stone oven. We also got the calmari for appetizers. Calamari cooked perfectly, not rubbery. Light batter, crispy, and seasoned really well that gave it great flavor. Others in the group ordered a clam chowder bread bowl, chicken Parmesan, fish & chips and shrimp & chips. The overall consensus was good. Casual atmosphere and perfect location. It's at the boardwalk near an arcade. During the day, there's also ice cream and coffee nearby. Couldn't get any pictures.

My husband and I moved to gold beach a couple of years ago and are slowly making our way through…read moreall of the amazing restaurants on the coast, this was our first time trying Zola's on the water. We came down to Brookings to take care of some business and decided to stop in for lunch and a drink afterwards. We weren't especially hungry so we ordered our usual favorites (clam chowder for me and steamer clams for the fellow) that combo usually helps us decide whether or not we want to return, without breaking the bank on a new spot. Our server was delightful, she was kind and attentive without being overbearing. Our order took a little longer than expected for what we ordered but we didn't mind, we had some nice blackberry cider they had on tap to tide us over. I was a little disappointed when our meals came out and I didn't get a slice of bread with my bowl of clam chowder like the fellow did with his steamers, but we were able to buy a half batard for $5 and that was perfect for us to split. It came out warm with a side of butter and complimented the chowder much nicer than the oyster crackers they originally brought out would have. In fact I recommend getting the bread if you order the chowder, it almost stole the show. The chowder was delicious, could've been warmer but still very tasty, the potatoes were cut super thin, and the clams were plump and tender and tasted fresh, they did add bacon but not in overwhelming amounts, and I thought it was spiced perfectly. I only added a few shakes of red pepper flakes to finish it. The fellow thought his steamer clams/mussels were marvelous, with a very flavorful broth, and he loved the fact that he was allowed to mix them. They made a good first impression on us, we will definitely be returning for dinner and ordering a couple of pizzas and perhaps a salad as well. Who knows, they may prove to be one of our new favorite spots.

First time here. Prices are very high, toppings on pizza are an extra cost. We ordered mozzarella…read moresticks, bruschetta, lasagna (with Mediterranean salad), and a 16" pizza with olives and pepperoni, along with 2 drinks. $77.51 without tip. Overall, everything was good and the service was excellent. Pizza was decent but the lasagna had a weird flavor from whatever cheese they used. There was ricotta cheese in it but something else that didn't taste like traditional Italian lasagna. Would go back again but because of the high prices, we won't go often.

Best thin crust tavern style pizza we've had in a long time, in a very unexpected location…read more My wife, her mom, and I had just crossed the Oregon-California border into Oregon and used the nearby Dollar Tree in Brookings to be our end point on our fourth day Internet access had been spotty throughout our trip through Big Sur and then Redwood parks, so used a combination of Google maps and Yelp to find nearby businesses, just for fun. Fat Cat showed up with high ratings. None of us were particularly hungry, but their ratings for thin-crust pizza piqued my interest, so we adjusted our plans and walked in. There was one employee (Ian) working on this mid afternoon time on hump day, so had to get his attention while he was working in the back. You place and pay for your order first, so ordered a medium thin crust pineapple/ham ($15). Not knowing what to expect, I asked if the pizza crust could be made well done. We sat down at the fast food booths, and didn't have to wait long. When the pizza came, all of us knew immediately by the sight and smell that it was going to be great. The crust was the perfect thinness, and the toppings were generous. Our plan was to sample some of it and then take the rest back, but the three of us ended eating every single piece. It was that good. We learned a bit more about the business from Ian. It used to be a franchise pizza joint, but the owner decided to stop being a franchisee, and create a local name. 'Gato Gordo' was thrown out as an early name, with the final name being chosen as the winner from an early Christmas party secret Santa gift. The pizza crust is consistently made by a dough sheeter at a low thinness setting. This might be sacrilegious, but I think I prefer this way vs the hand tossed NY style that is way more prevalent (and way more expensive).

After adding some tartar sauce, though, I ended up really enjoying them. The clam chowder was absolutely out of this world--one of the best I've had! The garlic fries weren't our group's favorite. They had large chunks of garlic and felt like they needed something extra, like Parmesan, salt, or a different seasoning to balance the flavor. The burgers and sandwiches were top-notch, and everyone in our group was happy with their meal. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'll definitely be back!

The pizza crust was just the way I like it, and the choice of toppings were plentiful. Given Rosie's is a portable outdoor oven on the corner of a gas station, the pizza did not disappoint. The pizza rates just as high as some of the finer pizza joints/restaurants we've all eaten at. Just enough wood char for color, and most of all quick!!! I went in for ice at the adjoining station and when I came out the pizza was ready for me -- a veggie pizza with ricotta in less than 10 minutes.

Based on other reviews I inspected the salad bar before he ordered and didn't find any concerns. The ingredients were fresh and he piled the plate high. Our pizza was fantastic! We got a medium Wild Side and subbed out half without olives and extra pepperoni instead. The crust was thin and perfectly crispy. All ingredients were generous and fresh. I sampled a couple of the beers before landing on the Kolsh. Is a solid beer among several that were very good. It's a medium size space and has an old school pizza place vibe. There are a couple games for the kids (in all of us) and a pool table. Music is mixed genre and isn't so loud that you can't have a conversation. Seating is long tables, family style, chairs are comfortable. Overall I would have no hesitation to return here and bring, or recommend it, to friends and family. (Or strangers like you for that matter!) 10/10 recommend! Get in here for good pizza and beer!!

September 27, 2024, Cave Junction, OR…read more We stopped here after a tour and hike at the Oregon Caves, so we were a bit hungry, and pizza sounded good. Perfect choice! We ordered a small Deli Delight Pizza (linguica, mushrooms, pepperoni, olives, and pork sausage, $22). The pizza was delicious. Small was definitely enough for both of us, and we had some left to take home and munch on later. Their pizza is unique in that the sauce and toppings are spread all the way to the edge of the dough. The pizza is cut it into perfect-sized pieces, which they call the "party cut". From their website: "Owners Jerry and Bertha Miller tell the story: When they served their first pizza at the grand opening in 1975, a large crowd of helpers, friends and neighbors were present and waiting hungrily. So they chopped that first pizza into many pieces, so everyone could have a bite. It turned out to be a great way to serve pizza, especially to large parties." Well, we were only a party of two, but we loved the party cut. Service was good, and the pizza came out quickly. Glad we stopped in.
