To be honest, we were headed to Azul Mexican Restaurant, but didn't realize that they were on vacation :( No worries - - I've been curious about this place, just haven't tried it because, well, no GF bread listed on the online menu. You never know for sure until you ask, so we gave it a try. Well, they don't have gluten free bread or dairy free cheese here, but what they do have is a staff willing to get creative with my lunch - - Rueben Fries!! Imagine a basket of fries loaded with corned beef, sauerkraut and thousand island dressing. It was so yummy. Servers were super friendly. Bloody Maria was delicious. And there's a big TV on the wall to watch the game, if you want. Great way to spend a Saturday afternoon:)

But the chicken strips basket was amazing. The Salty Dawg drink was pretty good too! There is an additional fee charged if you use card but it wasn't too much. Extra star for the beautiful view!

Great indie Burger shop along Hwy 101 in Waldport. Super good tasting burger (with cheddar- thank…read moreyou!), and some of the best (homemade?) battered waffle fries I've ever had. The burger was clearly made with fresh ingredients and nothing felt like a compromise in terms of quality. The service was outstanding and the hype about this place is well deserved. Excellent across the board!

This is a tale of two meals. We ordered the chicken club and salmon tacos. Both came with french…read morefries and a drink. While the chicken club was piping hot and really good, the tacos were missing a key ingredient - salmon. Unfortunately, there was very little salmon on either taco. Both of us thought the french fries were the star of the show. It's a small restaurant so seating inside is limited. While we were there, they were doing a very good business.

We eat at the Drift Inn at least once/month, as exploring the coast between Florence and Yachats is…read moreour default leisure outing. Our most recent visit was on point, as usual. What really stood out this time was the oyster shooters. I live on the coast and eat my share of fresh oysters. Most often, I've bought them at the source and shucked and eaten them same day- very fresh. Often, even the best coastal restaurants serve oysters that are ever so slightly (un-fresh). It may have been the timing, but those. Shooters tasted like they came right out of the water minutes before serving. Well done, Drift Inn! Now let's put raw oysters on the half-shell on the menu, please!

20% gratuity automatically added. Well, our experience with the service proves that our server…read moredidn't care less about the service. Why would she? It's automatically added to our bill. ‍ It began shortly after we were seated. After glancing over the menu for about 5 minutes or less, we were ready to order but our server said in a snarky tone, "I'mmm NOT ready to take your order." We patiently waited for a few more minutes and she returned to finally take our order. The food was above average (a bit more expensive than other establishments) and the restaurant was ocean-trendy enough until we had to pay the bill. Again, our server was nowhere to be found for 5-10 minutes. Maybe she was on break, so we patiently waited. Finally, she emerged from the ocean depths, and I kindly asked for the bill. She passed our table four times until she finally had our bill. Glancing down at the bill it made sense...20% gratuity automatically added. Again, why should someone have to provide great service IF it's a guaranteed exceptional tip. ‍ Save your 20% tip and eat across the street at the fish house.

Clearwater restaurant came highly recommended and now I know why!…read more With beautiful view of the pier and sea and fishing and tour boats passing by, but most of all the sea lions located just in-front of the restaurant. Besides the view the food is exceptionally fresh and delicious, I ordered the New Seafood platter so I could try a lot of different items on the menu. The chilled Dungeness crab was very good and tasty. No need to add anything! The fresh shucked oysters were tasty and fresh and clean. The crab dip was exceptionally good with chucks of crab meat to eat with the fried won ton chips & crackers. The ceviche was okay and also the spicy shrimp salad. The clam chowder was very good and flavorful and it was okay on the thicker side, came out nice and hot not warm. My wife had the Halibut & garlic fries which the French fries were very tasty and crispy and the halibut was great with a lightly breaded batter. Service was great and waiter was friendly Restroom they have 1 on the 1st floor and another one on the 2nd floor to be shared by both men & women. Restroom was clean only thing with the amount of customers they can accommodate you most likely have to wait to use the restroom. Entrance is about 4 steps to enter with hand rail on one side, did not see a wheelchair accessible ramp. Pets are allowed. We saw couple of retrievers seating outside with their owners.

I have seen some pretty over…read morethe top drinks lately and was curious about their version - - decided to stop in one afternoon to give it a try. The interior of the place was not at all what I had expected. I was thinking dark, low lights, lots of booths and a large bar. I was surprised to find a big open room with a bar on the side, next to a kitchen window, tables in the front and some gaming and a pool table in the back half. I heard some of the regulars talking about some new games back there but I didn't venture past my comfortable bar stool. Didn't see the food menu but most of the folks had baskets full of fried food and condiments. I stuck with my Bloody Maria idea and it was tasty - - the bartender filled it with a variety of pickled veggies and a pepperoni stick. They have a parking lot out front and a covered outdoor area for smokers.

Georgie's has been a staple on every coast visit; however, this last visit was clearly different…read morethan previous visits. First, it was noticed that you are no longer able to make reservations unless it is a party of 7 or more. That was unusual and thought the cause sure to peak summer travel. Secondly, there was no bread service, initially mistaken as an oversight then realized it was no longer offered. Third, the appetizer always ordered the seafood fondue was cool. In the past, it was piping hot served in a chafing style manner. While the chafing was there, in no way was that to get it to a piping hot temperature as served previously. Lastly, the dessert, again a staple when at Georgie's the Marionberry cobbler changed from previous offerings. Overall, Georgie's has a special place, however, the changes concern the level of quality menu items. I hope this feedback helps as Georgie's has been a gem for years and one of a kind on the coast. it would be very disappointing to see a downward level of food quality and service. The views are amazing; however, it did not pair with quality food and great service it would be no different than any other locale with ocean views.

The real star was the soda bread - move over sourdough! Bar was pretty busy but the service was still good. Bar itself is clean and had a great selection of liquor. I even heard someone order a sazerac I thought that was interesting this far west. Overall, pretty great gem for a coastal town.

Early dinner on the patio was Donegal shrimp, Sheppard's pie and an entree salad…read more Probably our sixth time here and still pretty consistent with attentive service. Beer battered shrimp with Nancy sauce, like a 1000 island with some Sriracha, good starter. Sheppard's pie takes 20 minutes and comes out smoking hot. We added the $1 up charge cheese (should come as original equipment). The pie is enough for two and had quality ground beef, potatoes, peas,corn and a silky gravy, mashed potatoes really good. Corn bread is spot on. Entree salad with homemade blue cheese(ordered a 2nd cup for .75)dressing had, onion, cucumber, tomatoes , boiled egg, cheese. Plenty to share and was fresh stuff. Full bar ,beer on tap, busy at peak hours. Right downtown for a stroll after dinning.
