"Storied Oregon coast breakfast and lunch spot Otis Cafe — equally famous for its from-scratch shredded, cheesy German potatoes and its marionberry pie — rose like a phoenix from the flames of its longtime location in Otis, which tragically burned in 2019. The new spot in Lincoln City (sporting its original sign) has three times the seating, and it’s been embraced by generations of Oregonians eager for more biscuits with sausage gravy or Pacific rockfish sandwiches for lunch. Try the spicy St. Claire Fire Station omelet with chorizo, pepper jack, and habanero sauce, playfully named in tribute to the first responders who fought the fire. All the baked goods and breads are still made in-house." - Jennifer Burns Bright
