We tried Fishtales Cafe for breakfast after seeing the menu listed in a local advertisement for Newport restaurants. Marionberry stuffed french toast! YUM!! Everything we tried was delicious and service was great! The food here is all homemade and during our visit, the proprietor was buying fish from a local fisherman. We were headed out of town after breakfast but wished we had been able to come back for lunch or dinner. We'll definitely eat here again on our next visit to Newport!

After reading positive reviews of this cafe my boyfriend and I decided to try it out during an overnight trip to Newport. The service was lacking and it took us 45 MINUTES to get our order of a ruben sandwich and a basket of fish and chips. Several other tables had to wait just as long as we did and got pretty upset and nobody ever really acknowledged or aolpogized for the long wait. The food ended up being really excellent but I don't think we'll go back.

I was very excited to go here. The descriptions on the internet sounded great. Scratch-cooking, homemade everything, how could you go wrong? Fishtails didn't live up to the billing online or on the menu. The marionberry french toast sounded like a good choice. But when it came out, it looked like something you'd get at a carnival. Way too much "homemade" marionberry topping- I don't know how they could afford to put that much marionberry on a plate (though I'm pretty sure I saw a large tub of marionberry pie filling in the kitchen). They top this off with TONS of whip cream- from a can. Yikes- overkill city- way too much sugar on one plate. The salmon hash didn't fare much better. The salmon in it was actually nicely cooked- no complaints there. And the potatoes were fine too. But it was topped with an artery clogging pile of cheese and a huge amount of sour cream. Top that off with big hunks of green onion and what you have is a big mess. I will say however, the poached eggs I ordered were cooked perfectly. And the house made muffin was okay too. The coffee was not very good at all.

This is a pretty average breakfast place. I ordered an ordinary bacon and egg breakfast. The food arrived promptly. The orange juice appeared to be cheap pulp free concentrate. The bacon was nice and crispy and they included 4 large strips. The home fries were pretty uninspired and required lots of salt and pepper to increase their flavor My wife ordered the berry french toast. Clearly it is their speciality...but you better arrive with a need for calories! We won't visit again.
(2)Roger H C.
Why is everyone in such a Hurry, Slow Down and relax and enjoy the good food and personal service Barbara and staff are great and they have the best Bacon I've ever had. I'm a local and I love the place.
(4)Meghan H.
Their breakfast foods are best. Clam chowder and the fish & chips was good, but service is very slow. Expect to spend some time here.
(4)Darren B.
The best pumpkin pancakes ever. Also excellent homemade biscuits. Staff was friendly and coffee was always topped off. As good as breakfast gets
(5)Kate M.
Our experience here was just okay. The food was decent. It took a while to arrive. It was also really hot in there- get a window seat or sit outside if you can. It was a good place for kids. They had coloring books and crayons and a good kids' menu.
(3)Angelique L.
Came for breakfast with my boyfriend, mom and brother's family on a recommendation. The kids loved the location, close to the pirate store. The Yaquina Bridge celebration was going on next door so the restaurant was fairly empty. We got a big corner booth which we all fit nicely into and were able to look at each other, which is always nice! They had several specials on the board that all sounded great but I ordered clam fritters because I'd never had them before. Our waitress was slightly surly in demeanor but so attentive to our needs that we really couldn't complain. When all the food arrived, it was a breakfast cornucopia! Generous but not excessive portion sizes, homemade bread and jam came with every breakfast and decent coffee that was kept hot and our mugs topped off. Everything was really tasty and obviously freshly made. I loved the clam fritters which had fresh herbs in the batter and had a wonderful light flavor so I could really taste the clams. Everyone else liked their food too and we had a great time. Definitely will come back for breakfast another time!
(4)Joe P.
These guys are absolutely amazing! Our waitress Michelle was so nice and gave us great service! I definetely recommend this cafe to someone who's looking for a great breakfast at a reasonable price!
(5)Jacob G.
*Vegetarian review* Oh my god, that marionberry french toast is the best french toast i've ever tasted. I managed to eat my order and like 80% of my friend's order of them as well. That is not to say the portions are small, they are just right. Everything I tried there was great. Good coffee, good everything!
(5)Louise A.
We ordered crab cakes and eggs, and eggs benedict for breakfast off the specials board. Wonderful food, well-seasoned and cooked just right. Both the red potatoes and hash browns were done to perfection and the marionberry jam on fresh sourdough couldn't be beat. It is very close to the Aquarium- would be worth it during an Aquarium visit to get your hand stamped, walk 5 mins to this place, have lunch, then return to the Aquarium, rather than eat at the Aquarium. Only open for breakfast and lunch.
(5)Bill D.
Service was maginal at best, just like the chowder. Fish and chips were just OK. Used a lot of Malt Vinegar which is not a good sign. Upon leaving, an account that I took to lunch and I both commented that another fish/chowder place in Newport was way better. Tables were too close and you almost felt like you were sitting with other people. Don't plan on returning anytime soon. Good location and parking, however.
(2)Kristy M.
Fishtails is a must visit for our family every trip to Newport. There's something on the menu for everyone, from breakfast, to burgers, to fish. The Slumgullion is not to be missed. Clam chowder with shrimp and cheese, served with garlic bread. It's creamy, gooey, and incredibly delicious. Three of the eleven people in our party ordered it, so I think that speaks for itself! The fish and chips are crispy and delicious - some of the best we've had on the coast. This last time in, I tried the tuna melt. Not your typical sandwich - that's for sure! This one is served open-faced, with huge chunks of fresh tuna, secret sauce, melted cheddar cheese, chopped roma tomatoes, and sour cream. Unique, flavorful. Yum! And, their coleslaw has a little zing of pineapple, which is refreshing. I love supporting small, local businesses, so Fishtales is right up our alley. See you next time!
(5)Katie S.
Great place! Food is fantastic. Staff is friendly. I loved the mismatched dishes and the cloth napkins!
(4)Sami H.
My ma and I have had a run of bad luck trying new places while at the coast. So we were beyond thrilled to find this place via Yelp and it turned out to be GOOD! We drove drove right past it the first time and once turned around saw it immediately. The staff was super friendly and the food was very good. Found our hole-in-the-wall Newport breakfast spot.
(4)Jennifer P.
We go here every time we visit Newport. Fresh food,friendly service. Try the halibut fish & chips or the pan fried oysters! So good! Support your local businesses.
(5)Brandy G.
Very cute small home b-fest and brunch place. Our server wasn't the friendliest. The hash browns are freshly graded and not greasy bit I got biscuits and gravy and the Gravy tasted awful. I would prob skip this place on my next visit to the coast.
(3)Barbara O.
Another just ok place for breakfast, based upon other reviews we expected maybe something more. Same with so many places in this town, just OK. And they all serve bad coffee.
(3)Sra T.
Our grandsons invited us to eat breakfast here. Two of us had the marionberry French toast. I had the salmon hash and Oshay got bacon and eggs. Everything was delicious and the service was great!
(5)Carlene W.
Dropped in for breakfast on a busy Newport weekend. Service was great - prompt and attentive. Our breakfast selections were all wonderful. I had the marionberry french toast - it's my new all time favorite! Others at the table had the seafood omelet (half order which was still huge at owner's suggestion) and the standard bacon and eggs. Everyone happy! Coffee was fresh and cups were refilled frequently. We'll be back!
(4)I E.
It is apparent, upon entering this establishment, that it caters to the breakfast and brunch crowd (although, the lunch menu is also very good). If you are the type who likes the typical Portland style "hole-in-the-wall" breakfast places that cater to upper-middle-class (or wannabe upper-middle-class) organic yuppies, you'll likely be disappointed (see the negative reviews). I suspect this is because, unlike the Portland places that go out of their way to seem like a hole-in-the-wall, to satisfy some sort of "look how down to earth I am" need, this place really is a simply, local eatery. While the place is certainly not fancy, it is clean and whoever comes up their recipes is an unsung culinary hero. For example, the last breakfast I had was clam-fitters with eggs, hash browns and toast.....not something I'd normally think of as a breakfast, but in reality delicious and cooked to perfection. My GF had the pumpkin pancakes, which were also excellent. As to the reviewer who was confused by the entrance to the restaurant. It's actually not so bad.....you turn the door knob, open the door, walk in and sit at one of the tables located within 5 feet from the door. This may seem complicated, but if you have an IQ that's greater than your shoe size, this shouldn't be a problem.
(5)Ashley F.
Very small place it was also very busy when we went. However when we got seated they did a good job at maintaining our drinks until our food came. The service was very nice and the food was good. It was a very homestyle place which is nice if they expanded and had a little more room to seat people and mcove around I think it'd be even better.
(4)Laura Z.
We have been visiting Newport for years. Fish Tails is on the top of our list for must eats!!. We consider the marionberry French toast a breakfa-tizer. Just add one in the center of the table with multiple spoons and it disappears. The pan fried oysters are delicious. Of course the eggs and hash brown/house fries and the endless choices of breads (Marionberry muffin ....mmmm) just make it a perfect breakfast spot.
(5)Bree C.
Great little family owned place, good food. They have buckwheat pancakes that are delicious, fabulous crab cakes and marionberry french toast, on their homeade bread, which won a blue ribbon at the fair I hear. My grandparents have a beach house they visit often, and they always come here for breakfast, sometimes bringing us. Sometimes, they are very busy here, and I'm not sure why some reviewers expect to get their food very quick at a small family run establishment. It's not McDonalds, or a corporate run hotel where they have 20 employees preparing the food in the back. If I, at a table of 4, get our food in under 15 minutes, I'm often wondering how fresh the things they're putting in are, or if they're microwaving it. This is a cute place, that you go in to relax or enjoy the company you're with, to eat a comfortable, not rushed meal. Think country style, home cooked, at the beach. Not McCorporate, not eggs from a milk carton, not for the rushed. Just relax, and have a good home cooked meal, by ladies that can really cook.
(4)Sean R.
DAMN GOOD FOOD!! It was packed so service wasn't the greatest but man the food was good. They took traditional diner food and made it the best possible it could be. I LOVED my "Benedict Arnold" and will be back again!
(5)Robyn A.
Entrance was confusing as it looked like you were gong to walk into the kitchen, decor was tacky and outdated. Oysters were very good, so were the fries, and the bread was outstanding. The coleslaw was to tiny of a portion and just had cabbage and sauce, and the cocktail sauce was watery and more like a salsa. Pumpkin pancakes were good, a little undercooked, and the whip cream was canned, the syrup served was not maple like it stated on the menu. Sugar free ingredients were scary, and the regular Aunt J's was even scarier with corn syrup as the first ingredient, so I had neither. Shrimp bisque, was to creamy to be a bisque, and it wasn't hot. When we asked for it to be heated "Not in the microwave" we got some attitude from our server. Who had been really nice up to this point, but was insincere and was talking to loudly to coworkers. They promptly closed at 3, and were verbal about not being able to vacuum until they were alone. We were the only patrons left. Thank goodness they waited.
(3)Doug M.
The food was really good. excellent place to stop if you went to the aquarium.
(4)Mo H.
Ate breakfast here yesterday. Food was wonderful - everything is homemade! The service was very & helpful. Even enjoyed the homey atmosphere. If you don't try this place, you'll be missing out.
(5)Carol B.
Terrific! Great food, great weekend prices, friendly staff.
(4)Erin B.
Excellent food and friendly service! The marionberry French toast was amazing! I had the hashbrowns with it and was surprised by the lack of grease... Not your typical greasy diner! My husband had an omelette and all the veggies were very fresh. We will definitely be back!
(5)Montrew N.
Good breakfast. Actually was fast and good. Liked the gravy and omelette. The bread was very good. My hubs likes his seafood a bit more well done.
(4)Marleen M.
Best clam chowder we've had while vising Newport. Crab cakes were tasty and served with french fries, coleslaw, and bread. My husband had the Sunday Omelet Special and enjoyed it. Love the family vibe and the cute cloth napkins. Very friendly staff!
(5)Greg B.
My whole family loved this place after stopping by today. There are 6 of us and we loved the pancakes, fish and chips, biscuits and gravy, country fried steak, and my two younger boys loved the kids menu fish and chips and the burger. Great atmosphere, awesome, friendly waitress and books & games for the kids too while they wait. What more could we want?
(5)Amanda M.
My husband and I went here for lunch. I had a cheeseburger and he ordered a chicken pasta dish. The place looks a bit shabby, but the food there was tasty and the portions were generous. If you are staying at the Holiday Inn it's conveniently located behind the hotel.
(4)Diana R.
We had lunch at the Fishtails Cafe recently - it was wonderful! Delicious soup and clam chowder, fresh baked bread and great service from Barbara, the owner herself! A friendly, homey atmosphere. Highly recommended!
(5)Wendy M.
My ex-partner and I discovered Fishtails by accident in 2002 while waiting for the Oregon Coast Aquarium to open. I was cranky that day and needed a coffee fix in the worst way. We stumbled into Fishtails after checking out the giant Plesiosaur next to the cafe. The food and service were terrific that day. We visited several times over the years and always had the same wonderful experience. This last week I took my dad to the beach for his birthday. Perfect occasion to go back to Fishtails, my dad LOVES marion berries and breakfast. Unfortunately our experience was a far cry from my past visits. We were promptly seated and given menus, but our drink order wasn't taken for another fifteen minutes. I had the shrimp and cheese omelet, my dad had the marion berry french toast. The omelet was fair, a bit greasy for my taste but overall okay. My dad seemed to enjoy his french toast (but then we are talking about the man that once ate a veggie burger by mistake and didn't realize what he had done until I pointed out that he grabbed my sandwich out of the bag by mistake). We only saw the server three times during our meal. Once to seat us, once to bring drinks and once to bring us our food. She never returned to refill my dad's coffee or check on us. We had to flag her down to bring our check. All things considered, it wasn't the worst experience ever but there are so many other breakfast places on the coast, I think we will try our luck someplace else
(2)Joey L.
Food is OK, service was slow. Nothing stands out as exceptional.
(3)Capt. H.
Good ol' Fish tails...We started going here for breakfast when Whales tale went downhill, You have got to try the marionberry frenchtoast. Enough said on that. Unfortunately service and other items are a bit mediocre but still not bad and fair prices. I must mention however that the owner is sadly going down the road of lower quality in details rather than keeping the quality top notch...pretty good food though...
(3)Ed P.
This small eatery is conveniently located near the Oregon Coast Aquarium, so many of the Aquarium's volunteers eat lunch here. Customers who eat 12 meals get their 13th free! I've eaten here several times, though I haven't earned that free 13th meal yet. My usual choice is the tuna melt and fries, and I have to be objective; I eat here and enjoy my time with friends and colleagues, but some might say the food is greasy. Some might assert they can feel their arteries clog as they eat. One might exercise a sense of humor at the cafe's expense and hope that an angioplasty is the "prize" for the 14th meal. However, the food satisfies my hunger, the service is prompt and pleasant. The atmosphere is upbeat, and I look forward to my lunches here. Does it compare well to a dozen other places I can name? Perhaps not, but you may want to stop in when you visit the Oregon Coast Aquarium (which is a marvel, I assure you) and form your own opinion. You may say that you've tasted better, but "better" may be some distance away. If you're an Aquarium visitor, volunteer or staff member, it's a good pit-stop for lunch.
(3)Matthew C.
If you are looking for. home made, excellent food, with a local twist you've found the place. My choice were the clam cakes breakfast with an apple cinnamon muffin with home-made boysenberry jam. I just love when I find a place that "gets it." The servers are either related to the woman who started the business or have served at the restaurant for years. They were a pleasure to meet and get to know about a little history about the food and the establishment!
(5)Angela R.
What a amazing little gem this place is!!! Seriously some of the best breakfast we have had. A group of 14 of us came here and every single person was satisfied with there meal. I had the special on the board Benedict Arnold which was amazing, other favorites from the group was the chicken fried steak and the marron berry French toast The granddaughter of the owner was our server, very sweet girl and grandma was too.
(5)Ryc C.
My husband and I had a fabulous breakfast at Fishtails Cafe. Our server, Connie was very friendly and provided excellent service, all with a smile and happy attitude. We loved the quaint atmosphere with the cloth napkins and all the patrons laughing and enjoying their food. As we were waiting for our order, which came out quickly even though the place was packed, we noticed that all the plates that had already been served where empty - the folks didn't leave anything on their plates, so we knew it had to be great food. Everything is homemade and fresh - we loved our Cheesy Omelet and Chicken Friend Steak breakfast. The owner, Barbara is so sweet and welcoming and you really feel like you are at your Mom's or Grandma's home. We will definately will go back and encourage you to try Fishtails Cafe too - you won't be sorry!
(5)Caitlyn M.
Delicious! This place is a cute eclectic eatery. The service was great and a bit of sass of frass which we loved. I had the Oregon Chai (which is my favorite Chai Tea) and the Chicken Country Fried Steak with their homemade fries and homemade sourdough bread. (The whipped cream is freshly made as well). It's not a dine and dash but rather an enjoy the ride experience. We will definitely stop by again if we are out this way.
(5)J W.
Been here several times now. Food is always good. A little pricey but it is right in the aquarium area so a large tourist draw probably supports the prices. First time was great. Server was on the ball and enjoyed the whole experience. Second time new server was decent but not the jovial expectation this place advertises. Third time new server was downright not happy to be there. I want to make this place a regular stop because it 'feels' good. But the whole point of the business is to welcome guests, not make them feel like they are intruding. I've tried several different plates and they do a good job in them all. Come for the food...get lucky with a happy server and feel good about the experience.
(4)Silvia O.
My boyfriend and I here at the recommendation of our friends, The Eastmans. Absolutely loved the Northwestern Omelette and the Marionberry Stuffed French Toast. We are definitely coming back on our next visit to Oregon!
(4)Ravi R.
Cute place on the "other side of the bridge". Menu had several unusual breakfast items - clams fritters (sort of like crab cakes but with a softer texture stuffed with small pieces of clams), grilled oysters, pumpkin pancakes. Mix of regulars and tourists (me). Servers are very friendly. Worth trying.
(4)Erin O.
Who would ever think of marrying breakfast hash to salmon? Fishtails, that's who, and what an amazing union it is. We arrived during Friday lunch crowd-the place was packed and only one table left, so hubby and I scored a spot. The place has a homey,eclectic vibe- I would guess that all their flatware, mugs, and dishes come from local thrift shops. It only adds to the charm. I had a feeling that service would be slow due to the sheer volume of customers, and the fact that the menu even stated at the top, "We serve SLOW food." So I settled in for a wait, which did not happen. Our server was prompt and very friendly, and the food arrived in a reasonable amount of time. You MUST try the clam fritters! Amazing flavor. I reluctantly shared one with the hubby (theyre roughly the shape and size of a pancake)...but then, he agreed to share his salmon hash with me, so all was fair. We also split a biscuit with Marionberry jam. I could have just eaten the jam with a spoon, it was so chunky, fresh and delicious. The restaurant is located in a kitschy, garishly-painted pirate-themed mall, but don't let that throw you. It's well worth a visit, with the from-scratch cooking, and the sweet waitresses.
(5)Jerry W.
The best cafe I've been to in years. I had the omelette with pesto, sour cream, ham,onion and peppers. The most amazing service I would have never known this place exists if not for yelp. Recommended for anyone camping at south beach, or anyone at all really how is this not one of the busy places in Newport. That has to change
(5)Lisa D.
Clam fritters for breakfast - YUM! This place is great! We started going to Fishtails back in the early 2000's when we lived in Oregon and would visit the coast often. We hadn't been back in 7 years and it's still great. Scratch made items are wonderful. It's small, so get there early for breakfast. Hubby and I both had the clam fritters and eggs, (grown) kids had Marion berry stuffed french toast. Service was great and friendly. Go there - eat their food!
(5)Helen S.
The food was so delicious and well prepared. Incredible marionberry French toast for hubby and the best veggie omelette for me. Because I bypassed the ham, the chef added more veggies. It was truly an outstanding breakfast.
(5)S M.
We stopped in to Fishtails on our way out of town for a nice breakfast before getting on the road. I got sourdough toast (house-made) and marionberry jam and my boyfriend got the (local) Yaquina Bay oysters and eggs over medium. Mike was our server and he was very attentive and friendly! A great spot for breakfast when you're in the area, and good vibes. Recommended!
(5)Veronica S.
Revisited here, I could not resist! i HAD to get the same thing again, Those clam fritters! and the Marionberry stuffed toast is my sisters fave (with the clam fritters you get a biscuit and Marionberry jam.. SO FRESH! and SOO Good i WANT TO try the toast, but the clam fritters keep pulling me in! Oh and coffee is served in mugs like you might have in your own home! LOVe the home-y-ness! This place still ROCKS!
(5)Tricia C.
Visited this place when passing through Newport, the food was ok. I guess I had higher expectations based on Yelp reviews. While my waiter was friendly, one waitress blurted out how awful girls are to raise. She was speaking to a family that had all boys. It was a little off putting since I was there with my 4 month old baby girl. I was just there for breakfast, didn't expect to hear the waitstaff's gender biased opinion, awkward.
(1)Nikole S.
So we have a beach house right around the corner and had no idea this place existed! The food was so so good! Definitely worth the stop. We did breakfast but lunch looks good too. The homemade marionberry jam is the best I've ever had. Put it on everything. Nom nom nom.
(5)Lezlea-Warren P.
Staying at a hotel around the corner and found Fishtails because it was in walking distance. OMG!!! Love this place, food was great. Had a simple breakfast, ample food, good price. Our waitress, Connie, was such a sweetheart. Very helpful and friendly.
(5)Chantal F.
This place was fantastic! Between the 3 of us we had the chicken fried steak, and the Pacific Northwest omelette. Our meals came with the best darn toast and jam ever!!! Homemade bread!! Our server was great. She mentioned she was the grand daughter of the owner and took real pride in the place. I also had the best chai tea latte oft life!!!
(5)Shawn W.
We read both good and bad reviews about this place, mostly good though. So we decided to give it a chance. We are so glad we did. Our food was amazing! I had chicken fried steak, home fries and eggs. My hubby had the stuffed French Toast. Amazing! Did I already say that??! You can't go wrong trying this place out.
(5)J G.
Still awesome. First time back to Newport in a few years and Connie is still serving up some delicious breakfasts. Biscuits and gravy were yummy and the clam fritters were also scrumptious. I also enjoy the eclectic dining room. None of the silverware, napkins, or chairs match to make a full set. Fish tails will always be my favorite breakfast place.
(4)Shelly N.
We have eaten at Fish Tales Cafe twice now and will definitely stop on our next trip to Newport! The food is wonderful and the staff is friendly and accommodating.
(5)Penny L.
Best breakfast at the coast. Fresh homemade food with great friendly service. Off the beaten path but we'll worth the search. We will be back.
(5)Ani S.
My boyfriend and I came here for breakfast on the recommendation of a friend, despite a review stating they are no longer GF friendly. I'm glad we did, because it was great! We had the salmon hash and NW omelette, both with GF toast (made by franz, not in house like all there other baked goods) and were very happy. The server was kind and attentive. Only downside - weak coffee - but we're biased, being from Portland. I will go back next time I'm in town.
(4)Dean S.
Neat place. Reminded me of a restaurant if my mom owned one (which she has). But we went when it was packed, so we couldn't get into it as well as we would have liked. But we could tell, if wasn't so crowded, the whole experience would have been better. For the location, it's a good price with diverse options.
(4)Ryan K.
The marionberry French toast and the salmon hash were very good. The server was great and the facade of the building is a pirate ship. A great way to start your day at the beach!
(5)Mac G.
This IS the best home cooking in Newport, and the service is second to none! Connie one of the waitresses is the sweetest lady, makes me feel at home everytime and even remembers me months after I have been in! The owner should feel extremely grateful having such a great waitress representing the place, she is one of the reasons I make it in for sure! I would recommend this place to anyone!!! One place I never miss when I come to Newport. This chicken fried steak and marion berry stuffed french toast are the best I have ever had! DELICIOUS!
(5)Amanda L.
We stopped by based on other yelp reviews and are so glad we did. Our party ordered the clam fritters, the salmon hash, the smoked salmon benedict, the country fried steak, and a kids pancake. The waiter was pleasant and took my daughters request for a cat pancake with a smile. The wait was shorter then we expected based on previous reviews and the size of our party. Everything was flavorful and delicious. We will definitely return the next time we are in town.
(4)Krystal W.
So when you ask the waitress if they something and get reply is " let me ask my grandma" you know right there your meal is going to be spot on. Couple that with fresh home made bread and you know your meal is real. This was a cafe we will recommend and return to. Thanks fish tails for the great birthday meal!
(5)Skip F.
We stopped in for breakfast while we were out enjoying a sunny day. I ordered the "Cheesy Omelet" with ham added and my wife had the "Chicken Fried Steak". Both orders came out fresh and hot from the kitchen within ten minutes. The sourdough toast was home made and my wife's whole wheat muffin was freshly baked. We both had home made red potatoes which were prepared by hand and not out of a bag. This is truly a quaint eatery and not your typical "cookie cutter" neon lit and vinyl covered booth place to eat. The furniture and dishes depict a touch of Coastal culture; you would imagine peeking into the kitchen and seeing grandma in her red apron cooking your meal. We will go back~ it was a treat!
(5)Sharon W.
We had a large (2 table) party for lunch without reservations and 2 young kids but our waitress handled everything wonderfully and she was very friendly. We all were VERY pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. Affordable too. We'll definitely be back!
(5)Lushy M.
Great little family cafe ran by 'grandma'... Menu was creative, food was fresh, local and delicious!
(5)Amber S.
Restaurant untidy and gross. Food was greasy and made me ill. Overpriced for the amount of food given and the quality of food provided.
(1)Casey B.
All I have to say is Marionberry French toast this stuff is amazing!! I've been dreaming about it. I live over 500 miles away and I'm already thinking about coming back for breakfast. Connie was our server and she was so friendly and sweet. Everything was wonderful! Highly highly recommended!!
(5)Richard T.
This place makes me want to change all my previous 5 star ratings to 4/5. Have had breakfast here twice. Clam fritters is my favorite but biscuits and gravy are a close second. My wife had the stuffed French toast and loved it. Super friendly and a must stop while visiting Newport.
(5)Jeannine S.
The service? Not the best. The decor? Same. But the food? Excellent! I forbid anyone from going there without trying the slumgullion it is the best.
(5)Jon W.
Small place near the aquarium. A little crammed inside with all the tables next to one another. Service was slow (45 mins for food) as it seems they only have about two people that can actually serve food. Connie is one of them and like a lot of reviews on here, she is great and super nice and must have the highest patience level I think I've ever seen in someone. So the slow service is not due to Connie I assure you. It seems there are about 2-3 ladies that maybe work here? Not sure as they were mainly walking around and just filling up waters and coffee. 2 of these ladies and a son of one of the ladies seemed to also have their own table and served themselves breakfast as my wife and I (and about 6 other tables) sat there watching people that apparently work there, eat. Then each of the two ladies ate their food, went outside for a cigarette, then continued to filling up water glasses and seeing how people's meals were tasting. I didn't let them fill my water up again. Total bizarre experience and made us feel bad for the cooks and most of all Connie, she works her tail off while her help, eats. And if you're not an employee there or the owner of this place, eat in the back, or a different time other than at 10am on a Sunday morning when you're a breakfast/brunch restaurant in a town with lots of tourists. The food by the way, was good, we had the salmon hash and pumpkin pancakes, tasty. I would return if I knew they hired more Connies of the world in that place. Great work Connie!
