Looking for something new, we decided to take a little road trip to Alsea to try Deb's Cafe. We're glad we did. This is definitely a hidden gem in the country. Driving up, I was surprised to see a small house converted to a cafe with roadside parking. The inside is very rustic with wood paneling and furniture. It's a very inviting environment with humorous signs and old time historical photos. We are greeted as we walk in and take one of the tables by a window. Deb is the owner/operator and she does a stellar job with running the whole show by herself. She was taking orders, cooking, checking on customers, refilling drinks and never missed a beat. I had the bacon cheeseburger with fries. It is served open face with cheese, onions, tomatoes, pickles, bacon and lettuce. The sauce (a mayo blend?) added a nice depth of flavor and made it hard to put down. This has an excellent flavor combination from the cool fresh veggies combined with the hot seasoned burger with melted cheese. The fries are made on site from potatoes on a per order basis. Sliced and fried on demand, really fresh! Then there was the homemade pies. She makes them all herself from recipes handed down from her Grandmother. These pies are huge. I had the apple pie and it came a la mode with a creamy vanilla ice cream. It was cooked well and the filling has a nice thickness to it. A very pleasant stop in a scenic area, well worth the trip! read more
