Bunkhouse Restaurant

My wife and I stopped by to have a quick bite to eat. We both got breakfast and it was delicious. The customer service was great and everyone was friendly. We eat our breakfast outside under a covered porch and it was a perfect setting. Thank you Espin!

Chicken Fajitas & Bacon Blue Cheeseburger! On vacation, 3rd time here and love the food! Service was great both days! Love supporting local businesses. Really close to Manzanita. 4th visit this week - got breakfast! Fresh hollandaise sauce! See pictures! Mimosas and Bloody Mary’s available.

Do yourself a favor if you want breakfast or lunch in Manzanita. This place is absolutely amazing! I had the chicken fried steak. It was on point crispy with a beautiful pork gravy smothered on top and perfectly cooked. The mimosas are substantial.

I wanted desperately to enjoy this. I was told it was a great steak and a great restaurant. And in fact to mediocre steaks plate pod but not heated frozen vegetables, , unimaginative coleslaw, a cold plate of kids, macaroni and cheese, well that was the highlights. More fun playing one of the games by the wood stove then enjoyable eating. None of the food was bad. Except the being cold thing. But really nothing was bad but nothing was worth writing home about. The garlic bread was a little bit off. Bad choice of spices. I think someone used the off the shelf Italian seasoning set of being creative. There was a single herb Emily mix that didn't mix well with the rest of what was going on. Seats were uncomfortable. Tables were beautifully clean. I don't think I'd go out of my way to come back. That's pretty much the opinion of the two people I was with as well. We were there for dinner. It was a little over $30 per person, we don't have alcohol so it was $100 for three people. The Sunday of simply School of ice cream. Marionberry pie was good. About average for the area. Little expensive with a scoop of ice cream at $8 for a slice. When I was served my cup of clam chowder straight run of the milk lamb chowder, I got a teaspoon to eat it with. Then after dinner had a" Sunday" which was just like I said, a scoop of vanilla ice cream with some Hershey syrup on top and I was given is gorgeous hefty soup spoon. A little weird. Wait staff was friendly. All in for $100. There's a lot of other places I would have rather eaten. And a whole lot of places I will go instead.

The hours are a bit weird but the food more than makes up for it. So good! The homemade sourdough bread, biscuits, and gravy are the best. Very rich, so you may want to share. I'm looking forward to eating there again next week.

This place is a true gem among today’s fancy accommodations and modern facilities. Very eclectic setting along the highway with ultra clean motel style cabins behind it. Something out of an old small town movie. The restaurant: Family ran by a gentleman and his wife that cook and provide homemade food, pies soups, and sauces. You name it! Alcoholic beverages are served as well. The food is absolutely amazing as it’s mostly all cooked by Gabriel the owner. He has worked in the restaurant business for many years and has previously put many on the map for sought after places to eat. Most everything on the menu is hand crafted and delicious. The restaurant offers an overwhelming selection of menu items that surely provides anyone a satisfying meal of taste and comfort. Sometimes people traveling in the area need or expect a special foo-foo and or an atmosphere of extraordinary setting to enhance their moments. This is not that place. The Bunkhouse restaurant is very rustic, yet clean and eclectic to old wayside diner charm. If you need fancy or are expecting high end dining atmosphere, just keep driving. Food wise, I find this place amazing because of its character and great tasting food and expansive menu items. I have reviewed many places and restaurants across the Country including 243 in Oregon alone over the years. In my opinion and without being a true Chef, places like the Bunkhouse restaurant are the ‘must see, ‘must eat at kind of places. Hopefully you will enjoy it as well! Don

A great spot along highway 101 south of Manzanita, OR. Good food and service. This place is much better than the place down the road. Had the chicken fried steak covered in sausage gravy, it was great. The portions were good size. The ambiance was quiet and comfortable, unlike the place down the road. The down the road place (which i will not name) is cold, noisy, very little parking and food was bland and tepid.

Food is not bad, but not so impressed either. They do offer a variety of selections on their menu. Maybe will give other dishes a try next time

Elizabeth and her crew were great. We got here about noon and there was one other table. She got 4 more tables right as we sat and she handled it beautifully. By the time our food came out the restaurant was full! It was just her and she did great. Very polite. Food was just what we were looking for. I got the French toast breakfast and my boyfriend got the Garden omelet. Was nice that they had good coffee and cocktails too! We'll be back.

It is a small establishment right off the highway. Service was prompt and friendly. Ordered Halibut Sandwich with onion rings and a salmon sandwich with tots. The halibut sandwich was two small filets, lettuce, tomato and onions on a bun with tartar sauce. The filets were "naked"aka no breading or batter and cooked perfectly. The 5 onion rings appeared to be a pre-cooked frozen product that's tossed in the deep fryer. The dipping sauce was ketchup. The blackened salmon sandwich needed more blackened seasoning again a couple small pieces to make the sandwich one cooked perfectly and the other a bit undercooked. The tots were plentiful and crispy crunchy with that light pillowy inside you want in a tot. Though the filets were not large, multiple pieces filled out the sandwiches to fill us up. I would go back and have another halibut sandwich but with tots! Sorry I didn't get a side view of the salmon sandwich

Walked in and the server acted surprised to see us there. Said "well we don't have a table what do you want me to do? Move a table out or you can sit outside" The place was SMALL and I couldn't see how moving out a table was going to happen. Okay we'll sit outside I guess. "You want breakfast or lunch menu?" We both say lunch "Breakfast?" No, two lunch menus. We get handed one breakfast and one lunch menu and we go outside and sit. 10 minutes later I'm ready to leave and she comes out with waters. "I can't take your order now I have to take someone else's inside first" Ummm okay. She disappears again. Ten more minutes later we just leave. Time wasted +20min. Drove a few minutes up the road to the Big Wave cafe where we had food in front of us well within 20 minutes plus friendly service Not sure if it's an attitude problem, legal marijuana, or both.‍

We came to the restaurant for breakfast and thankfully they were dog friendly. When trying to seat us on the patio there was a dog who was not friendly and we couldn't be seated. Upon leaving, the owner of the restaurant made accommodations by moving a table just outside the patio toward the parking lot and even offered an umbrella! They were so friendly and wanted our business! To top it off the food was amazing! Definitely worth stopping!

Great breakfast! There are limited options for breakfast in this area, so we came here after trying Wanda's which was going to be an hour wait on a Tuesday morning. I'm so glad we gave it a try! Cute little restaurant, and solid breakfast menu with all the basics. Good kids menu. Service was quick and friendly.

Elizabeth has been a great server. Ordered the fried oyster and they did not disappoint. Ambiance is quaint and peaceful. Love it! Don't miss the dessert pie

Food was ok. Not too big of portions for the price. The server was so snippy and rude. I asked for a potatoes instead of eggs and got a snippy response from the server, "you'll only get a tiny bit". Weird, eggs are more expensive than potatoes. Will not be back due to the rude server who seemed inconvenienced by us being there.

I Had chili burger and fries plenty of fries (too many for me) and they were perfect. Wife had biscuits and gravy with sausage and she said her meal was great as well. Very good service. Friendly and smiley. Highly recommended.

Best breakfast around. You must have their eggs Benedict with Chipotle hollandaise. Debbie, our server was fantastic! Greeted us as we walked through the door. Very friendly. Great way to start a rainy day. She recommended their Sleepy Monk coffee

A disable veteran tries to go in to a restaurant to have breakfast on vacation.. OH WAIT.. NO THEY DONT. They get rushed at the door and yelled at and made to LEAVE because they have a "dog" with them. We quickly told them it was a medical prescription alert dog.. to which they still yelled. We, quickly reminded them that it is a federal crime to not allow someone in with a MEDICALLY PRESCRIBED SERVICE DOG. (Not that this has to be proven AND you can't make anyone provide this MEDICAL PRESCRIPTION information.. but was in our pockets for these purposes). The woman LITERALLY TOUCHED THE DISABLE VETERAN TO GET HIM OUT OF THE DOOR FROM FULLY ENTERING!! Would you make a person in a wheel chair leave or make the blind leave a cane or their dog in the car? PROBABLY. Literally the worst people in the land. AND the place next door with rooms? You're a special kind. You can't make people provide papers (which we have). PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF ANYTHING YOU ENJOY read up on the laws. Now we're waiting for PD so we can get the names of the people that touched and denied someone that's disabled so we can leave a formal complaint. I ONLY GAVE IT A STAR BECAUSE IT MADE ME.

Great quant little spot with comfort food and awesome Gona if pies! The staff is excellent and super friendly people!

Very rude service. Maybe the rudest ever. Not at all safe for gluten free. Just go somewhere else please.

The service was wonderful. This was our dogs 1st time at a restaurant, and he was pretty anxious at 1st, but our server was incredibly kind and allowed him to calm down. He did well the whole time and allowed us humans to eat our meal. The Clubhouse sandwhich was delicious, great deli meat, fresh and filling. Onion rings were okay, and the tots were undercooked, but it wasn't awful. The kiddo got a cheese burger and said it was great!

This place is a classic diner. All the Trump flags are off putting, but the flags belong to the landlord, not the restaurant. From that perspective, seeing the flags and slogans on the flags are amusing. The food is good, they do a tasty burger. Local beers are available and the service is attentive. Ignore the flags, go for the food.

Great breakfast option if you stick to the basics! Service was quick and friendly, nice family-run business with everybody pitching in. Breakfast was a bit of a contrast, on the one hand the basic eggs, hashbrowns and toast was great but the crab benedict was a letdown. 3 eggs over medium (2 eggs broken), hashbrowns (nice crisp, see picture) and standard bacon - quite yummy, fresh and hot and plenty of jam choices, 4-5 stars. Eggs crab benedict was kind of pathetic. Maybe they ran out of crab but even after searching the whole plate we just found one tiny lump. Just a little guy, we were looking for mommy and daddy! 2 stars for that. Will definitely give this another try in the future!

Stopped here for lunch - it's a diner with good food. My wife had the fried prawns and they were very good. I had a bowl of clam chowder and it was good although a little skimpy on the clams. Overall it's an OK stop.

Amazing Amazing food. Loved the service and it's such a cute and cozy spot to come too.

We found this little place by it's fish n chip review, and happy to find them open on a Wednesday, unlike many other places in the area. The halibut fish n chips were as advertised. Very good meal. I especially liked the option of a green salad in place of the Cole slaw. The portion was generous but not so much that I felt over full after the meal. Vanessa was a good server (the only one) and had to man the phone and take pmt as well. The atmosphere was a bit awkward upon arrival at 6-ish. Not much table talk despite several tables of couples (not the fault of the restaurant) and no music or TV on.

Breakfast waffle with berries, eggs over easy and bacon was cooked just right, but could have been hotter. Good coffee and very pleasant service made it a very good experience. There was no wait on a Wednesday morning in August, in contradistinction to the better known breakfast place in nehalem that was an hour estimated.

I don't care about the Trump flag flying outside as much as he disgusts me, however the food here was both terrible and overpriced. Ordered the shrimp avocado benedict and it was possibly the worst meal I've had in years. A nearly raw poached egg with runny whites on top of watery bay shrimp of questionable age, browning avocado slices, powdered hollandaise and an untoasted soggy English muffin. The hash browns tasted like year old oil. *shudder*. I might have mentioned to the server/owner but he was on the phone the whole time. Just go to Wanda's down the street, it's the best for miles.

A member of the staff reached out and said the flags are put up by the landlord and not by the restaurant. While I'm glad to know the restaurant isn't the one spouting politics over breakfast, it's still an issue. If they don't like the flags either, they should renegotiate the terms of the lease or find a new location to work from. You can't blame customers for reacting to what they see and experience when they visit your business.

Excellent service and cute atmosphere. We chose to eat outside on the front porch. It was perfect. The waitress Jasmine was attentive and checked in us. Usually when you sit outside you get forgotten, not so here. I was pleasantly surprised. We ordered the chicken fried steak special and it was really good. The crust wasn't too thick and stayed on the steak. The hashbrowns were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It was a fantastic peaceful breakfast. As a side note Breakfast served until 2 and they are only open 8am to 3pm on Sunday.

The food was really yummy. My husband had the salmon and said it was delicious. I had the grilled chicken sandwich which was very tasty! I gave 4 stars because the cooked veggies weren't fresh. They were from a frozen package and some were still cold. We're from Cal Central Valley with awesome fruits and veggies, so maybe a little spoiled.

First of all being a Trump supporter I loved the Trump flags and let them know that we did. The food was really good. Not a real friendly feeling but it may after we told them we love Trump. Really sad to see this for sure. I wouldn't care if they supported Biden but it seems to be ok to bash the other side. Crazy world we live in.

We were hungry after stopping at several restaurants who were full and didn't have any restroom. Looks like a shady place from the street, but I've found several holes in the walls are true gems. That is not the case here. I would not recommend eating here. The food was not good at all. Biscuits in the biscuit and gravy combo which are "homemade" are either made last week and incredibly stale or they burnt them horribly and then scraped off the burnt color. Could hardly even cut them with a fork, stabbing them just as hard. The gravy is more like liquid half and half with some chopped up sausage. The scrambled eggs were typical hospital eggs. Sausage about the same as anywhere. Beef nachos were not good, kind of looked like canned beef poured on chips. The party couldn't even get more than a 1/4 through without a stomach ache. Crab cakes were frozen and of subpar quality for a place on the ocean, and for the price. Staff here is ok. Cute Hispanic family, which appears the dad is the Chef, and daughter and son as servers. Not very talkative, or helpful. Bathroom was atrocious. Hopefully you don't need to use it. If you do bring your own toilet paper, and be prepared to use your shirt as a mask of the horrific smells, and don't be too modest, as you can see the customers at the table outside the door in the large cracks. We won't be back, and we encourage you to be cautious.

Not many seats, they food is incredible. I had the carbonara and a slice of house made blackberry pie. It's not on Main Street. It's maybe a mile towards Nehalem from Manzanita and worth the five minute drive. It's easy to pass by. I stopped there because two other restaurant were closed. Otherwise I would have missed this little treasure. I'm surprised the owners don't have their menu in every hotel and short term rental. Carbonaro

Great traditional diner style breakfast. Big portions and high quality; the best of both worlds! I had the breakfast burrito. Wife had the Eggs Benny. Neither of us were disappointed, but I was having serious FOMO after seeing the Chicken Fried Steak

The food was sub par with small portions and the service was not great, the waitress/server was not welcoming, she did look like she wanted to be there.

I was initially grossed out by the proximity of the bathrooms to where we would be sitting and putting food in our mouths. The waitress was very rude when my husband attempted to order tapping her notepad and rolling her eyes she then stated I'm very busy and I have to get back to the kitchen I sat there looking at the bathroom wondering if someone would come out and I would have to look at the toilet as I listen to her it was not very appetizing needless to say the food was actually not bad but served in a pretty gross atmosphere in my opinion my husband's oatmeal was very runny and also outside was a charming nest of baby birds which almost looked fake but we found out later was actually real I would really go a long way if this place would consider making their place a little more hygienic looking and having the staff have a little bit better attitude

Chicken fried steak lover? You are missing out if you don't stop at the Bunkhouse! This is small Mom & Pop local spot that has proved a consistent delicious meal! Staff are friendly and the food is great! If your hungry in Nehalem, this is your go-to spot that you won't regret! Thx!

We landed here because Big Wave cafe isn't serving breakfast anymore, and thought we'd give it a try. The food was OK, service was OK - but it seemed they were super slammed with customers and many people seemed annoyed. I'm not sure I'd be in a rush to return for breakfast - with other options in Canon Beach, Manzanita and Nehalem , but in a pinch I guess this will do.

Amazing place, loved by locals, welcoming to the 101 travelers needing to rest and refresh. A little beacon of service and acceptance in our community. Creative and generous food, competitive with all surrounding waterholes...Gabe and Marisol continue to show up...day after day. So grateful.

Husband and I stopped in here recently and were happy to see indoor dining! The service was amazing and the owner was so kind. I had the Special Bleu Omelette which I thought was an odd combination but made me very happy. Bacon, spinach, onion, mushrooms and Bleu cheese topped with avocado. Yum! I opted for the baby reds which were cooked to perfection and a lovely fluffy homemade biscuit. My husband had the Spanish Omelette which had beef and chorizo complete with homemade salsa. Was good and spicy! I look forward to dining here again on our next visit.

This restaurant was recommended by a local and it didn't disappoint. While a little short on atmosphere, the fish and chips could not have been better! The Cole slaw and tartar sauce are made in house. I give 5 stars to the staff!

We were exploring the area with a group of 4 and discovered this was one of the few restaurants around Nehalem that was actually opened. Summer is just around the corner but we were a little early for summer hours. Over all I believe most were happy with what they had ordered including fish 'n chips, french dip and salad. Three of us ordered clam chowder. We were disappointed. The chowder wasn't real clammy. Staff was friendly.

Delicious breakfast food! Wonderful service and very nice outdoor covered seating. Was a perfect post hike spot. Literally nothing I could complain about.

Ok ok...I was pretty skeptical of this place. We frequent Manzanita and surrounding coast towns, and this was our first trip to the Bunk House. Decent beer selection- kids loved the Shirley Temples. Food was good:) nothing off the charts, but my son loved the bacon burger, my husband enjoyed his sandwich & there were no complaints about the nachos. But seriously, our waitress is the reason for my review. MOLLY! She was amazing! You really are hit or miss (especially with 3 boys, 12/7/2!) at any restaurant, but she was awesome!!! Attentive, funny, pleasant and even brought the 2 year old a scoop of ice cream. Props to you Molly! My kids even remembered your name when we got back to Portland. A little ray of sunshine on a pretty cloudy in Manzanita!!! Also: just a side note...other waitress needs a lesson from Molly. Didn't speak to people, kept her head down- no eye contact. Pheww, so glad we had Molly! Makes all the difference in a review.....

The food here was amazing. Full of flavor and portions were perfect. Our crew was fully satisfied! A must return for sure!

In Oregon for a few days and this was one of the few places that was open for breakfast on a Tuesday. The staff was nice and the food was your classic breakfast. Pancakes, French toast, sausage, bacon, and hash browns is what we had. It was a good breakfast.

My go to for real hash browns. Not country potatoes. Also ask for the razor clams. Sometimes they aren't advertised.

Biscuits and gravy, eggs & bacon was just right! Stopped on last day of our Oregon coast trip. Breakfast here was great and we will repeat at next opportunity.

Been here twice now. Best mozzarella sticks super creamy stringing cheese. Fresh food. Everyone is super friendly and polite. Hamburgers and halibut fish and chips excellent. My hamburger was a mushroom one last time.

We had not been here for years but decided to give it a whirl for breakfast and glad we did. We started w Spicy Bloody Mary's and then we each ordered a different breakfast. All of the meals were more than enough and cooked well. Our server, Christa was friendly and at tentative. We will be back.

Stopped in for Brunch on July 4th. Everything we ordered was great ... especially the blueberry pancakes and French toast

I LOVE Carbonaro and was delighted to see this dish on the menu. Well I wasn't disappointed, it was DELICIOUS to the last bite. The service I received from Allie was superb!

Amazing Breakfast! Yum, one of the best breakfasts we have had in a long time. Hubby chose steak & eggs and I opted for French Toast with a side of hash browns. Everything delicious and great service. Definitely will be our favourite breakfast spot. Can't wait to try lunch and dinner. They have beer, wine and cocktails. Seems like the have great outside seating too, front and back patio.

Such amazing service, excellent food and drinks! We love this place and the owners Marisol and Gabriel are so dedicated! Thank you!

I had a great halibut fish and chips lunch today. Very light batter and fresh tasting fish. Have been here before and had a french dip sandwich that was also very tasty. I'll be back!

The service was amazing, very kind and paid attention to detail. Drinks were good and the food was delicious!!!! It's a little place but the food hits BIG. Will be coming back again.
