I have eaten here many times. Food and overall expectation is consistent. Small place only seats abut 40 people. Food is good and prices are ok also. Good place to get a nice breakfast. If busy service can be slow since Carol is the only server. I do recommend this restaurant.

Excellent greasy spoon. Things are made to order fresh. I could barely get out of my seat I ate so much. This place doesn't have coconut milk or other alternative foods but they are happy to leave things off for you. Truly an American cafe.

Great place to go if you want great people and super yummy down home breakfast or lunch. Carol the owner and her staff really make you feel like family when you walk in. We eat there at least 2 to 3 times a month. It never dissapoints.

We stopped at Carol's on our way out of town, we sat our selves per the sign at 9:55. We had a large group, 4 adults and 4 older kids, so we had to split between two booths. We ordered our breakfast with in 10-15 minutes of sitting down and didn't get our food until 11 o'clock so plan on waiting a while for your food. Food was good but a bit greasy, clam fritter was yummy. The kids all enjoyed their food when they finally got it but as parents we were disappointed to have our food served 10 minutes before our kids. If there were 1/2 stars we would have given Carol's a 3 1/2 stars losing a star and a half for slow service and serving the adults before the kids. Next time we are in Waldport I don't think we will come back but glad we gave Carol's a try. Oh and FYI no kids menu and CASH ONLY

Coffee is terrible and they only have sugar or Sweet n Low. The service was excellent (Linda)! The hashbrowns ARE greasy. People aren't kidding! My husband had the Pancakes. They were HUGE. He said they were pretty good.

This is a small town diner., We stopped by for a late breakfast before heading out of town. I think three people working, the cook, the busser, and the waitress. As such, while service is good, don't be in a rush because it's going to take a while. As for the food, I think it's a bit hit and miss. Some of the items we liked, others, not so much. Waldport is small and there aren't a lot of options. Knowing what I do, I'd only come when I know that I have plenty of time.

Food is very , very slow in getting to the table. And as a restaurant person myself the cleanliness and sanitation procedures leave a lot to be desired.

Great basic food. Nothing fancy but what we've had has been good. Carol is a hoot. The sausage patties are great!

Carol's Cafe, yes they have there locals here, it's a little town. What can you expect. The food wasn't all that bad either. The biscuit and gravy wasn't the best I've had, but I finished it. The hash browns were excellent My wife had poached eggs with bacon and muffins it looked good too. As far as the locals they greeted us which I found unusual but it was nice. I would go back again the next trip here.

We went here because someone told my Utah in laws it is a good breakfast joint. It's ok. Regular American eggs and suchlike. Most of us had the special for $6, 2 pieces of french toast plus 2 eggs plus 2 pieces breakfast meat. Coffee was good, not great, but drinkable. It was reasonably clean, there was cool art on the walls, and our server was brisk and efficient. My breakfast, from a part of the menu labelled "hashbrown specials" called "Neil's" had two poached eggs on English muffin halves, two link sausage... and no hashbrowns. My mom had a huge pile on her plate though, so she shared. My poached eggs were perfect. There was no kid's menu, but my kid found her scrambled eggs with diced ham to be just fine with her, as were the fluffy pancakes that went with them. Beware the icy stares of the locals when you walk in, though, they're not exactly happy to see a group of 7 cityfolk ( here for Spring break, I felt like it was in neon on our foreheads) invade their space. This place doesn't advertise, and the sign on the street is different than the one on the building. Further, the windows are all covered with blinds on a cloudy day... it's a secret breakfast joint. Outsiders, begone! ( ok, just kidding, it wasn't that bad, the kitchen guy came out and said hi to us). After we saw the cinnamon rolls go by,though, we understood.. they were saving them all for themselves! They looked YUMMY. We will have to go back.

Local diner of crusty locals. No ocean ambiance here - just basic breakfast fare prepared well for a decent price served by informal but efficient and friendly staff. Removing a star for not accepting credit cards.

Rude waitress...like very rude. No eggs benedict even tho its on the menu. Ordered a coke, didn't have any. Coffee sucks. Have't got our food yet and we are going on almost 40 minutes now. At this point I don't care if it was the best food in the world...the service absolutely sucks and u will wait forever to get your food!
This place is small and kitschy, but the breakfast is good! Service was slloowww, but it's all locals eating there and they are apparently not bothered by that. Huge portions, sassy waitresses, and a clean bathroom.

Good down home breakfasts. Large portions . Try the clam fritters, done on the flattop, not deep fried. Breakfastsare better than lunch fare and now served until the cafe closes mid afternnon. You will be eating with the locals.

When fishing is good, I have some sort of breakfast-like food at sea but when the fog or wind keeps us in port, I like to have breakfast at Dan O's. This restaurant is open for breakfast and lunch and is patronized by locals who spend a lot of time socializing. This is a pretty typical café with booths and a few tables. There is no view so one goes her for the food. American breakfasts are pretty basic and Dan'O does a good job of just about anything on the menu. I alternate between a short stack and an omelet. However, he does serve a clam fritter. If you have not tried this, it is worth the trip to Dan O's. Waldport is a small town but Dan O's seems to find waitresses that are pretty quick witted. I always enjoy my breakfast here and drink my share of the endless coffee.
