This is one of our favorite restaurant to stop by when traveling through Oregon. This little- hidden town is unfortunately growing! I am happy for the businesses but sad that this town is no longer small. Back to my review- food and customer service is excellent!! We will continue to return every vacation. read more

It was my birthday and 2 good friends suggested we go out for lunch at The Cafe on Hawk Creek. I live at Neskowin, but don't go out to eat often, and previously have opted for their delicious wood fired pizza. Today we took a chance and ordered the fish and chips. It was DELICIOUS! Fish tasted fresh, breaded and fried to perfection, and the best French fries I've eaten! Cole slaw great! Chardonnay...perfect. I thought the price was VERY reasonable,, too! Adding to our experience was eating on the deck, where dogs are welcome. I noticed the server even brought a dog bowl of water for the darling pooches at the table next to ours...being dog people led to delightful conversation with the pup parents! Thank you for a birthday meal I will always remember! read more

Cute little cafe that gets pretty busy even on a Wednesday at 5pm. Service was prompt and friendly, the food was good but nothing incredibly special either. I felt much of it was bland to my liking but ingredients were all fresh and appreciate that. read more

Rescued by frozen pizza from Chester's! The coagulated cheese monstrosity that Hawk Creek offered was as bad as could be, was nothing like any margherita we had ever encountered. CHEESE, and just enough red and green to remind us that it was attempting to represent Italian cooking. Had to send my family to Rome/Venice, et al to gain relief from the misery. See attached job opportunity. Louis Prima wouldn't eat here if it was free. The place has a nice vibe when summer ends and the masses are gone. Get thee to Chester's for frozen pizza, or pay the airfare to Italy. read more

Feeling kind, so disappointing is how I'll describe it. Service was almost nonexistent, and about as friendly as a pissy coyote. Caesar salad made with iceberg lettuce followed by a sad, sad pizza. How does a pizza need salt? Left confused. read more

We had an excellent dinner at the Cafe on Hawk Creek. We arrived almost at closing and they still sat us despite being busy. Service was fantastic and helpful. Rice bowl with salmon and coho salmon entree were delicious. Fish was fresh and vegetables were well seasoned. Drinks were excellent. Patio dining made for a relaxing and enjoyable meal. read more

Oops. Terrible meal! I have fond memories of this place but my meal was pretty awful. Our table wasn't great either but that was really minor. The terrible thing was tacos with uncooked corn tortillas. That is so disgusting. Any cook worth their salt would know better. And they use terrible commercial salad dressing. Our server didn't do a great job of an equal split of our prosecco, rather dramatically unequal, although she meant well. I had anticipated her just bringing two glasses with the bottle. She never asked if we wanted another drink. ‍ Super inept. Would not go back. read more

Yummy. Lovely warm in winter and open deck for the summer! Look for original art filling the place and friendly locals and guests mingling. Tips : The cocktails are magical. Brussels& bacon- the best. Fish tacos are grilled and fresh. read more

If you have fond memories of the Hawk Creek Cafe of yore, this version will disappoint. It's now owned by a Portland restaurant group that has never attempted to be anything but just good enough. Volume, scale, high margin, successful business that provides jobs and a service. It's got a place. Really good food? No. Culinary ambition? Lol. $8 bottles of wine served at $14 a glass. IRC, can you take a .50 cent hit on margin to serve a decent glass of wine? read more

We've eaten here several times, and Hawk Creek is one of my favorite restaurants. We especially like the outdoor seating area. It's covered, and surrounded by a fabric/plastic wall, with a heating system to keep it nice and warm. Food is generally delicious. In particular, the clam chowder is the best I've ever had. It's nice and thick, with tons of clams and very few potatoes. Staff is very friendly and helpful. In the past, we had fish tacos, and loved them. Today, however, someone messed them up. The fish was over-seasoned and loaded with too much hot sauce. I ate about half of one taco and couldn't eat the second one. This was surprising because we've had the tacos before and they were delicious. Today I'm guessing they had a different cook working in the kitchen. I'm still giving Hawk Creek 5 stars. I'll keep eating there again and again. read more

Absolute garbage food for expensive restaurant prices.. it's a shame. Everything always goes from great to worse really quick if they think they can keep returning customers with this shit that they sell they won't the only thing good is the pizza $25 for two tacos and a handful of chips... that was for me and then $20 for my wife's two pieces of fish french fries which actually were good and coleslaw with two slices of lemon and then another $14 for $.10 worth of cauliflower. I started coming here back around 2000 it was good for several years until recently unfortunately read more

Superb pizza, burgers, pasta by the beach. Dependable high quality food, excellent service.

Okay but not great I would have ranked it lower but remember this is at the beach. Everything is more expensive at the beach. Lunch for three adults and one child came to $71 before tip. Oy. The food was mediocre, no one raved about anything. Burger was dull, hummus plate was dull. Waitstaff was dull. The dining room was cool (temperature) but they had just opened. Big benefit was they were right by the beach so did not need to get into the car afterwards to take granddaughter to the beach. read more

A great little lunch spot to refuel after running around the beach nearby - with excellent comfort food, inviting atmosphere, friendly staff, and great views of the little creek that runs across the beach and out into the pacific. After wading around in the chilly waters along the Pacific shoreline, the grilled cheese and tomato basil soup was just the warm-up comfort food I needed and it was DELISH!! The sandwich is made with Tillamook cheese from the nearby creamery - which is my absolute fave cheese of all time! And the soup was savory and delightful - so cozy! I couldn't resist starting with the spinach artichoke dip though and I was not disappointed! It's a hearty version of the app and comes with these perfectly toasted breads - flawless! This is one of the only food options in the part of Neskowin right by the state beach so it's a little more pricey but the quality is there. Plus it's extremely convenient, very cozy and the staff are lovely. There's plenty of parking on site or immediately across the street in the free beach parking lot which is huge - but fills up fast in the summer. read more

Super friendly service a real wait staff talking about specials letting you know what this rocking and special for the day. A small little spot next to the trail to Neskowin beach access trial. It's a place probably growing out of its surroundings but a piece of the community. Laid back constantly flowing in and out. I remembered to take pictures this time. I wish there was a flavor option for taking pictures. The soup as a starter is above average for clam chowder. We were told they were just finishing the next batch and we were willing to wait. Just creamy and beyond the normal flavor of just potato soup with some clams I highly recommend the fish tacos. Cajun not overwhelming but enough to give flavor profiles you may have never experienced. Combined with pickled onions Cole slaw in their own chipotle like sauce and salsa. They also come with chips they make from scratch. The initial thought was only two? The last thought was I only needed two. The Alfredo has multiple cheese flavors each tripping sensory spots on your tounge. Don't overlook this great restaurant in Neskowin. Tell them Todd sent you score yourself some points read more

Have been coming to this restaurant on and off for over 30 yrs. New ownership is doing a great job. Food is always super tasty, service usually really Great (love Caitlin and Crystal is great too). Pizzas are AMAZING and love the honey option! So good on pizza! Great wine selection and craft cocktails!! And, the view is phenomenal. Happy they have the outdoor seating and coverage in wintertime and their plaid branded blankets are a nice touch! Love Neskowin and Hawk Creek cafe!! read more

Food is decent but not great (and fairly expensive for what you get). There don't seem to be too many other options around though... The people who work there seem very nice. We got there near closing time and they were pretty crowded, so there's clearly a following. read more

Stopped by on our trip and we were met with such nice staff! They were quick to get us seated & even though it was busy, I could see them all working quickly & well together. We had a pepperoni pizza, a burger and a buffalo chicken sandwich.. it was all so delicious!! If we had still been in the area we would have definitely returned! Still dreaming about the buffalo chicken sandwich.... read more

I don't know what some recent negative reviews are really about. Our experience last night was very, very good. We ordered a veggie pizza which was served after it's required cooking. The server was fun....and showed us a "trick" of putting honey around the edge on the crust m....delicious! Place was packed at 7:30. Go see for yourself whether they're maintaining their reputation. Doubt if you'll be disappointed. read more

What a sad slide... My family has had a house in Neskowin for 35-years, and we've been dining here as long as they've been open with great pleasure. Today, not so much. Arrived mid-week, mid-afternoon, and while the resturant wasn't busy, it took almost 40-minutes to get our meal. Unsure if it was the cook, or the server, but 40-minutes for a couple of burgers is totally unacceptable; WTF? Name change won't help or make a difference; improved service and Customer experience will! read more

I miss Hawk Creek Cafe of the early 2000's like 2001. It's just not the same anymore. Yeah this inside is a bit bigger. They expanded the outside. It's pretty cute. But I came here for food after a day at the beach. I got the cheesesteak expecting a nice hearty sandwich. Instead I had a tiny sandwich that was bland. I had to add salt to it. Just to give it some flavor. And I left hungry. 22 dollars. I've had egg rolls bigger than this sandwich. I'm sorry hawk creek cafe for this review but that's what this app is about. Honest reviews. I'm afraid to try the pizza as it may have gone down hill too. To be honest neskowin is a beautiful quaint community. This restaurant has gone down hill. And don't get me started on the market across the way. Whatever they did there they ruined it. Unfortunately I won't be back. The best part of this place is the coziness and by the creek. Our waitress was lovely. read more

Love the Hawk Creek Cafe. Cozy, warm, comfortable. The food is solid and the staff is great. Drinks are on point. If you are in Neskowin they are the only game in town for sit down so prepare to pay a couple extra bucks for the experience and enjoy yourself. read more

I'd say something like it's barely a shadow of it's former presence, but they just don't care. Very expensive and well below mediocre: On every level. Most locals have quit trying. It's a crying shame. read more

We came on a weekday and were seated right away. Good thing too because it started getting packed for lunch right after we arrived. The service was good. Yes, they are short staffed and the food does take awhile but it's understandable. Our food took about an hour to come out. The pizza here is absolutely incredible. It's cooked perfectly, soft, and soooo good. We had a pepperoni pizza alongside a Caesar salad and fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp. The salad was a good option to start with. I enjoyed it. The Alfredo on the other hand came only with three shrimps, was a little bit warm, and the flavor was just not good. I took maybe five bites, ate the shrimp, then shared the pizza with my husband. I'm glad he had that so I could actually eat lunch. The pasta was not a good choice. Only get the pizza! read more

Hands down the best steamers on the coast! Husband was also a big fan of the clam chowder. Kiddos devoured the kids cheeseburger and I enjoyed a few of their fries. Appreciated the great wine/beer/cider options to round out the meal. The service was great as well! read more

The service was good. The ambiance was nice. The clam chowder was overly thickened. The cheeseburger was so so. The onion rings were doughy.

Great spot near the beach. Burgers were very small for the price, like McDonald's size burgers. The fries were super crunchy and tasty. Large portion of Mac and cheese - they used mozzarella or monterey Jack which made it too "stringy" for my taste. If you don't like garlic don't order it. Bloody Mary was just okay, could have been spicier. Heard another guest complain that the chowder wasn't hot enough. For the money they need to step it up. read more

Eh. Its ok. I wouldn't truly call it special. Also if they truly think that a pizza serves 1-2 that's absolutely hilarious. Completely misleading. Wouldn't recommend mainly based on price and food being just ok. read more

I live part time in Neskowin so I have had many great dinner meals here, close by, great ambiance, clean with friendly staff. Food is usually exceptional. They are now doing breakfast so I thought I would give it a shot and went for the Salmon Benedict. I was pretty disappointed in this choice, the food was mostly cold and I was told by the waiter the cook said that is because it was smoked salmon, but the eggs and hash browns were cold too. Hollandaise sauce was watery and overall I should have stayed home for breakfast. I have had Salmon Benedict before at other restaurants and never has it been served cold. If this is how they plan on doing this dish I recommend they just take it off the menu. I probably should have sent it back but that is something I don't like to do. Maybe I will come back another time and try the regular version with ham. read more

We were staying just up the road for a few days, so we decided to give Hawk a try for some pizza last night. We ordered 2 larges for the 5 of us, plenty with leftovers. The large pepperoni and pineapple: crust and pepp cooked well with good flavored sauce (although a bit sweeter sauce than most). Our only complaint was that the pineapple didn't seem to be cooked as well as the rest of the pizza, added a bit after maybe? The large deluxe: lots of toppings, nice flavor...but the bottom of the crust seemed a tad undercooked and doughy in spots, yet slightly charred in others. Not real sure what happened there. We also ordered a side salad, it was a special order and was good, very fresh lettuce and loads of Parmesan cheese (they included the wrong dressing, but it was still tasty). I'd give it a "good"...we weren't excited, but we were full. read more

There are precisely two places to get food in Neskowin - the trading post, which is part grocery store and part coffee shop, and the Cafe, which is a sit down place. It doesn't need to do much to be popular - a place to sit, good food and drinks, and friendly staff. Firstly, the place to sit - it's got an indoor part and an outdoor part - the outdoor part is dog friendly. The indoor part features art from the nearby art gallery. We didn't have to wait for a seat at any point. The staff? Super friendly, but it can be slow. The food and drink - that's a mixed bag. We went there three consecutive nights. There are 12 taps to cover drinks, including a cider on tap that is nice. I also liked the honey kolsch that was on top. For food, they need help. We started with Brussels sprouts on the first night - this is a highlight, and well recommended. The fish and chips we had for main course were average. I'm pretty sure the oil is not hot enough. The chips were limp, and the fish (which has a breadcrumb shell, not the normal batter dip) was oily. On the second night, we decided on onion rings to start - again, low oil temperature meant they were greasy. We followed with a pizza - the oven was definitely not hot enough, which cause the crust to be limp, although the taste was nice. On the final night, I decided on a burger - the Neskowin Fire Burger, which is meant to be a spicy burger and came with fries. They didn't ask how it should be cooked, but there was a little pink in the middle of the burger. It wasn't really spicy, though, so it missed the mark for me. Would I go back? Yes, because it's the only place in town. However, it's really not a go-to place in any other town. read more

I brought a couple friends here as we were in the area from Portland. I'd been there once before, a few years prior and remembered it being great. It was only BETTER this time and we had an awesome server who made sure my meal would come out just right. I asked if the Miso salmon could be dairy free and cooked a certain way and she double checked with the kitchen and made sure my meal was perfect. It was fantastic! Best food, service and ambiance I've have at a restaurant in a long time. It really meant a lot to us, especially since our lunch in Pacific City was not good at all. Thank you for a great experience Hawk Creek Cafe! read more

I simply don't understand the bad reviews for this place. I've been here 4 times and each time is pleasant with consistent quality service and the finest food on the Oregon coast. The ambiance is warm and inviting, the space is clean, the views of the creek are delightful, and the warm fireplaces are always a win for me. It is our tradition to stop at Cafe on Hawk Creek each time we pass by on Hwy 101 and this place should not be missed. read more

this place was nicely located close to where we were staying on the coast. pretty good food and nice service!
