    Love this place. The food is great, the staff is great, and did I mention the food is great?…read more This has become our go to spot every time we head to the coast .

    Took my kids to The Hill in Newport Oregon for the first time on Father's Day 2026. I chose to go…read morehere 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.

    My fiance and I ate here yesterday and had the best time! We had a beautiful spot next to the bar…read moreand window on the second floor. Great view of the ocean and docks. We got the seafood platter as an appetizer and it was so delicious! We got to try a little bit of everything. We were pretty full just off of that but got entrees. The ahi poke in the seafood platter was so good I had to get it as my main. The sauce was so incredible with fresh avocado. I NEED that recipe. I would come back to Newport just for the ahi poke bowl. My fiance got the dungeness crab mac and cheese and it was without a doubt THE BEST mac and cheese we've ever had. We are Mac and cheese connoisseurs so that says a lot. The sauce was so perfect and the crab was very generous. To top it all off I thought the post cards at the end were very sweet. I came to Newport when I was a child (maybe 7 years old) and I had lots of old memories that I relived on my trip. I sent one to my mom. Our waiter was absolutely lovely. We hope to come back one day!

    Food was delicious, views were beautiful, and the waiter was kind & helpful! 5 stars!…read more We were visiting from out of state and found this restaurant on yelp! The positive reviews stood true!

    It's been 30 years! I just realize how many centuries I have lived through lol. I came out here in…read moremy early 20's with my baby to visit their dad who was docked in Newport for the weekend. He was in the Coast Guard out of Astoria and I drove the 3/4hrs (I don't remember exactly) to meet him. We had lunch at this Mo's. It was my 2nd Mo's exprience because the first one was in Cannon Beach. I worked at the hotel right next to it. I remember good food and chowder. I brought my daughter and niece here for lunch. They are students at the university in Eugene. I wanted them to experience the original Mo's and have some good food. The chowder is good. We all ate it up. I had fish tacos. It came with 3 big tacos, so come hungry. We also ordered a side of onion rings. I have to say that it was probably one of the better ones we've had in a long while. We really enjoyed our visit here and the waitress we had was awesome. She was super busy because she was also waiting on a big party but she never forgot to check on us.

    This was our first stop on the trip to Oregon. It's a cute small restaurant with great seaside…read moredecor. I ordered the fish and chips along with a cup of chowder. My daughter had the kids Mac and cheese. My daughter loved the chowder, it's the first time she's had chowder before. Fish and chips were good. Price was high, but that's what you get for a tourist spot. Can get noisy depending on how many people are in the establishment. Seating is limited inside, though there is patio seating.

The gentleman waiter who has worked at The Coffee House for many years was so welcoming to us. He walked our first time diners through the menu expressing his favorites and top picks. He put huge smiles on their faces with his descriptions of sauces, etc. Everyone loved what they ordered. I, of course, cannot get enough of the side grilled fish. So delicious and pairs excellent with a mimosa! Excited for their outdoor seating to open up this summer and we hope a few tables remain uncovered so I can work on my tan! Love you Coffee House!

We lucked out and arrived right as the largest table in the tiny place was finishing up so we got a table that comfortably fit the six of us. The waiter was super nice and helpful, especially since we started out saying we needed three checks. I ended up getting something I used to get years ago and was thrilled to see that they still had: pan-fried Yaquina Bay oysters and eggs, along with the homemade biscuit. Love that they have homemade bread and bread their own oysters and fish. I was worried that this place wouldn't be as good as it was when I used to go there 12 years ago with the new owners but it was as good as ever. Everyone enjoyed their meals and the waiter was super kind and funny. Love to see this place still thriving.
