Took my kids to The Hill in Newport Oregon for the first time on Father's Day 2026. I chose to go here as I had heard that the buffet was awesome and it included pizza, macaroni, steak, salad bar, desserts.. Perfect. I have a couple picky eaters and pizza, Salad, macaroni.. that is all food they want and eat. So to start, I am not a picky eater at all. So 7 of my 8 kids (yeah i know...) and myself go in hungry after a long day hunting agates and playing with mole crabs to an immediate bill of $180.00 and that is without drinks, just water. We get sat down. Restaurant is very clean (reason for the stars that it did get.) Water is delivered and we begin to shuffle towards the buffet line. -Pizza was undercooked and reminded me very much of a elementary school cafeteria pizza. In fact almost all of the food was of that caliber. -Baked beans had been sitting long enough to form a skin -The clam chowder was separating in the pot and smelled burnt as soon as i opened the lid. -The salad bar was alright except for the actual Salad which seemed to be entirelymade up from the ends of numerous bags where it was just little ends and pieces of everything but lettuce. -Fried chicken was really dry and not enjoyable to eat. The kids barely eat anything besides fruit. As much as I would like to rip them about absolutely everything I will leave it at what it is. The food was pretty awful for that price tag, the service was mediocre, it felt like there was a single server for the entire restaurant, as water glasses were sitting empty a majority of the time. We will likely not be returning to this restaurant. I hope this review gets to their management so that they can consider minor and major changes for the betterment of the establishment. read more

The Hill Buffet and Grill - American Near Me - Newport, Oregon

Come for the views! They're pretty nice and high above the agate coast. The buffet is ok, again the views are good. The salad bar is pretty fresh so you can eat healthy. They do have pizza and chicken and basic pasta for spaghetti... The desert aren't as good but most important and demands attention is their ice cream machine. It has visible black mold. How they pass inspection is beyond my imagination. As most people know an ice cream machine must be taken down every night and disinfected with restaurant cleaning supplies and food disinfectant. All machines have blades that have to be reinstalled every morning. This is McDonald's, Dairy Queen 101. I recommend they work on the ice cream machine everyday. Again. The views are amazing! read more

The Hill Buffet and Grill - Any table on the coast side of the buffet. - American Near Me - Newport, Oregon

Not in any way shape or form worth a $22 dinner cost (without a beverage) for an adult. Kids are $1.25/yr which is more reasonable in my opinion. Food was subpar in general. You could tell the hot food had been sitting under heat lamps for a WHILE. Salad bar was decent. Service was excellent which was what earned the two stars. Debbie was exceptionally sweet and attentive. read more

I found a hair in my dessert. It was the best part of the meal. To be fair, this aging restaurant has a very nice view. Sit in the parking lot and enjoy it. DO NOT EAT HERE! For the princely sum of $20 each, with oiur "senior discount", my wife and I sauntered in, full of anticipation and empty of belly, to try this "All you can eat" restaurant on the Oregon Coast. Any drink other than water was extra. We wound up eating, not "all we could eat", but "all we could stomach". As you walk in, you pay at the door, without any clue as to what the offerings are. They are, in a word, PITIFUL! Several varieties of basic, soggy-crusted pizza, over-fried and nearly desert-dry fried chicken, equally dry and tasteless chicken swimming in a greasy pool of barbeque sauce, industrial mac-n-cheese, a bowl of long-dead spaghetti and another of hopeless sauce await your tastebuds. Most had been sitting so long they were cold and nearly petrified. Oh! and there was a huge bowl of commercial pork and beans to top of the gustatorial delight of this crumbling palace to the palate. After trying unsuccessfully to find something - ANYthing - remotely edible, I gave up and looked at the salad bar. They DID have a nice selection of the standard fare of fruits and vegetables on offer, though the available quantities were depleted. Desperate to try to find something of substance to fill my stil-empty belly, I turned to the nearly empty dessert offerings. Bad mistake. The soft-serve ice cream, after 30 seconds of holding the valve open, finally dripped two milky drops of something-or-other into the bottom of my bowl. Disgusted, I turned to the "pasteries". There were about four varieties, so I took one of each, found some 'tapioca' pudding and layered it on top of the small, commercial, single-serve pasteries. Then in a further act of desperation, I found some 'strawberry syrup', and squirted some on top of the mess growing in my bowl. The Tapioca pudding was edible. The strawberry syrup as well. The pasteries were so dried and tough that they might have been pried from the walls of an adobe hut in the desert. They DO keep the place clean - or perhaps no-one ever comes in to dirty it. NOTHING was replenished while we were there, and it was a couple hours until closing. My wife and I are well-seasoned seniors, and have eaten at restaurants worldwide. We have BOTH decided that this was THE WORST MEAL we've EVER had - ANYWHERE! read more

The Hill Buffet and Grill - We would have been better off at McDonalds ... And we HATE McDonalds! - American Near Me - Newport, Oregon

My family and I came here for dinner on 9/20/25 this place was once an Izzy's Pizza but kept the food menu on the buffet, but changed the name after all the Izzy's pizzas closed after the pandemic eccept this location and had to change the name. The food was great and the server was very nice and helpful. We will definitely be returning for dinner again in the future. I would recommend this restaurant to friends and family. read more

My family and I came here for dinner on Saturday 12/27/25. Are server was great. The food was good. I always eat here when coming to Newport. read more

I was super excited to see that we had a buffet where Izzy's used to be. I miss them. This place has an amazing view and great employees but God the food is terrible and the pricing is ridiculous. 20+ dollars a person and not much edible you could have rib ribs or street tacos, both of which were not very good. They had a average salad bar, a little bit of cold pasta And some overcooked chicken. We won't be back. read more

Went there today and the food was the worst food I've ever had at a buffet.... The fried chicken was warm and dry, the Mac and cheese was runny and no flavor,the Pizza was warm and nasty crust, the caesar salad had zero flavor too!!!. It was a very small buffet for the price as well. I would never waste another penny here.... Disgusting food. read more

We go to this restaurant every time we are in the area and some food is great knife and freshly cooked. The salad bar is amazing. Very fresh vegetables, everything you could possibly think about putting on a salad and max and his wife are very nice. Also, this place is very clean. read more

This restaurant is a gem. I highly recommend it. We stopped there for lunch after volunteering to clean the beach. My husband said that it was the best mashed potatoes ever. It was Sunday. The had the breakfast buffet. Their clam chowder was filled with clams and one of the tastiest chowder I ever ate. If we ever come back we will definitely eat here again. The servers were very friendly too. read more

Absolutely the best view in a low budget restaurant on the entire coast! Even on an overcast day we could see for miles down the beach. $20 per adult is very reasonable for all the food we ate! Such a variety for everyone to enjoy; pizza, ribs, bbq chicken, teriyaki chicken, fish tacos, full salad bar, mashed potatoes, jojos, and a full dessert bar with cinnamon rolls, brownies, cookies, jello, pudding, and ice cream! American buffet with beautiful view - will absolutely return on our next beach trip!! read more

The Hill Buffet and Grill - Window table at The Hilltop - American Near Me - Newport, Oregon

We absolutely love the fresh salad/fruit bar. Many choices and always fresh. Nice selection of dressings and salad toppings. They have soup every day. They have hot menu items pasta, mashed potatoes, rice, vegetables and gravy as well as several pizza choices. After 3:30 they offer grill items. There is also a dessert bar with cookies, pudding jello and soft serve ice cream. They have an awesome wait staff - very friendly and helpful. You can also watch the ocean while you eat. read more

got sick right after I don't think I have to say anymore there is only like five different dessert items a small salad bar and five different things that were actually main courses. Everything was so cheap but yet very expensive. read more

I have a couple of positive things to say: the views are lovely. Everyone who works here is really nice and helpful. The salad bar is pretty good. The drinks are okay. Unfortunately, I wouldn't go back. We weren't able to even eat several of the items we tried from the buffet, including: pizza, green beans, mashed potatoes & gravy, chicken because they were Just Not Good. We did eat the salad we assembled from the salad bar even though it was just average. Our drinks were pretty good, but expensive. Although the sign outside advertises fish tacos, they apparently aren't available at lunch, and it's not possible to order from a menu: just the buffet. Maybe it's just nostalgia that brings people back, but we won't return. read more

Fish tacos are good add your own heat, jalapeño or Tabasco delicious . Pork BBQ ribs fall off the bone. Fried & BBQ chicken excellent. Lots of delicious dessert I chose the mini upside-down pineapple cakes not sickening sweet .large choices of Pizza, veggies etc. Come on in & leave like a stuffed turkey lol. Excellent service very family oriented plus large banquet room read more

Oh my, this place needs to redo the menu. The food is not good! Service was wonderful and the best part of our experience. Greeted at the door, very nice guy. Our waitress was very nice as well. The view is fantastic. However, the food was so bad and we both had stomachaches as soon as we got home. I would not recommend eating here, and we wouldn't go back again. There are so many bad reviews and I don't know why an effort isn't made to improve. The place is definitely in need of an overhaul, but it's such a great location! read more

The food is typical buffet and I can usually find something ok to eat. The price is a bit high considering the quality but lunch and old folks discount make it ok. Owner is a great guy and the waitresses are really nice. It's a friendly place we really like it. read more

Good view, but the "food" is over processed, over cooked, overly dry from sitting out, bland, poor quality, and yucky. Barely edible, except for passable salad. And to add insult to injury it gave us both digestive woes the next day. Courteous staff though. Oh and the restroom was a disaster. The toilet in restroom was clogged and not flushable. The floors looked dirty and rundown. I felt like I needed to wash after washing. The place needs a bathroom remodel and a complete menu revision offering at least something that is actually made there by a real cook and not just poured out of bucket like pig slop, if they're going to stay in business. read more

View...great. Food? Worst I've ever had. Horrible buffet. My husband and I were visiting. Thought it looked like a great place. However.... buffet was gross. Main course looked so gross that we wouldn't touch it. Green beans were burnt. Salad bar was ok. Had only one soup choice. Dessert bar was less than par. Cinnamon rolls sat in a quarter inch of liquid. Thought I couldn't go wrong with cookies. I was wrong. Had an oatmeal raisin cookie...got a stick in it. We left after twenty minutes. read more

based on the reviews, tried this on a whim. we always try and do a buffet when we are visiting elsewhere. I guess this place used to be an Izzy. the wait staff here is super friendly and very attentive. food was not bad, I had the salad bar, some pizza, chicken, and some dessert. Also I had the grill food-fish tacos, bf tried the ribs, he said they were good. I mean the food is nothing to brag about it but it was edible, none of is had a blow out. For dinner, it was $20 a person, they had some pretty awesome views. A little loud, but it is a smaller establishment. We would all eat here again. read more

Formerly Izzy's! Food just as good, quick replenishment, fast and friendly service. We hadn't been down here in a long time and were worried with Izzy's being closed we couldn't buffet with a view anymore. Saw other reviews and took a chance. Prices still good, food delicious, clean restaurant and quick, friendly service! read more

This place was formerly Izzy's and we regularly stopped here for lunch or dinner prior to the pandemic, when the restaurant closed. The food is very similar to what was offered at Izzy's so we will return frequently. Five rating for overall food quality, cleanliness, and friendly employees. Make the food even better by creating a new mac & cheese. Thank you for re-opening and we enjoyed the fine view of the ocean! read more

Food mid... price mid.... Only reason to come here is if you're not hungry and want to see the view.... Waitress was nice tho! read more

The Hill Buffet and Grill - American Near Me - Newport, Oregon

This restaurant used to be named Izzy's and we liked it back then so we decided to try it out. We went on a Friday night and was hoping for some seafood, but their main specials were BBQ ribs and fish tacos. They also had chicken, pizzas, pasta, beans, and mashed potatoes/gravy. They had a pretty good salad bar and desert selections. The reason for the average rating was their chicken was dried out, like it had been on the warmer for a long time and the lack of more main buffet items. The service was great and the cook who made the BBQ ribs did a good job. The cost for a senior was $18 which is pretty cheap for a buffet. read more

The Hill Buffet and Grill - Salad bar - American Near Me - Newport, Oregon

The food was bland. The soda tasted like menthol. View was gorgeous. We'll never be eating here again.

No- if you are any type of foodie than just dont. The only thing I found tasty was the sliced potato wedges everything else was like cafeteria with many of the items over cooked or tired. I went thinking there was cod, clam chowder and steak...nope...and the 'wood fired grill' produced tough fish 'tacos' and a weird pile of small bones with some meat on them that were also not fresh. Pizza options were all very flat and overcooked looking..breadstick was stale. Only thing going for this place is the view and the friendly staff. Oh and soda is an extra almost $3 bucks...Izzy's is gone ya'll- seek some quality over quantity. read more

The old Izzy's buffet lives! Very homey, huge buffet. View to beat all the views in Newport! Good service. Nice and clean.

Friendly owners and clean restaurant. Pretty good selection of food but salad bar was my favorite. Pizza was quite good. Friend chicken was good but teriyaki chicken could of been better but we arrived at the end of lunch so it had been sitting awhile. Don't miss the cinnamon rolls. Yum! read more

To start this place has a magnificent ocean view. The Salad bar is awesome and the hot food is buffet food with very good fried chicken, ribs, pizza and more. The people that work here are very friendly and helpful. The owners are engaged in the community and generous. They work very hard to make the place what it is, an all you want buffet. read more

Wow it's better now than when it was called Izzy's!!! Don't have to answer to corporate. Same owners, staff and great quality food. Always here several times when in town. Price is reasonable for all the choices you get! We will be back! Thank you everyone there!!! read more

I would say hassle free buffet. 12 $ for lunch. Bit surprised to see no Seafood as it's in the coast. Good salad and pizza spread. Not a bad option if you don't want to wait for long in other dining places read more

I like the Hill Buffet because they have a large salad bar. Their pizza and other food is good. Good dessert bar. The ocean view is outstanding from inside the restaurant. read more

Not a lot of verity food. Good service. Food can be a lot better. The price does not match the food.
