McKay Cottage Restaurant

McKay Cottage is better than the reviews say! The food and wait staff were both absolutely wonderful. My wife and I started off with a Pecan Sticky Bun, Marionberry Bread Pudding, and some Lemonade while we waited for a table. After a brief and relaxing wait, we were seated in a quaint outdoor gazebo/tent which offered a nice reprieve from the lovely sunshine. We then ordered the Biscuits and Gravy—which had the most flavorful sausage gravy I've ever tasted smothered on top of the best biscuits you'll ever taste, along with some perfectly crispy potatoes and homemade ketchup–as well as the Carnitas Hash—which had the perfect balance of pepper, tang, and savory of any hash I've had in years! Josie was our waitress, and she was perfectly attentive to our needs and was extraordinarily kind. We will be back again, next time to try out the delicious cocktails!

Inside or outside the service is always great and the ability to grab a scone or preferred beverage while you wait is ideal! Highly recommend the huckleberry peach scones (They are best when I take them home and pop them in the toaster oven)- unimpressed with the plain scones. The lemon ricotta blueberry pancakes are amazing- we've been unimpressed with the eggs bendy. Potatoes are fried to perfection- pistachio pesto and scrambles are good. Most of the staff are amazing.

This has to be one of the best spots in Bend. Every bite of the food made the wait worthwhile. They are very efficient at getting people seated and fed. The outdoor dining was perhaps the almost fun part. Theu even provide a cool.wiki fidget for your kiddos while waiting. We will go back everytime we are in bend.

We had this spot Recommended for our visit to Bend and it did not disappoint. There is a line early, but we got in before the estimated wait. Great attentive service, unique breakfast menu with all kinds of imaginative dishes. The Guak & Roll avocado toast was filling and nutritious, their specialty Baja Chicken Hash Stack was a huge plate of food, and very delicious. Eat this and you will be good for the rest of the day. Highly recommend this local breakfast gem in Bend! Fabulous bakery with homemade treats!

Amazing service, decent food! I tried the Mediterranean special, which I didn’t like, but the chicken hash had good flavor once you added some hot sauce. The French toast was a little dry, but it came with SUPER fresh / delicious strawberries. Again, the service was excellent — every single person acknowledged you, said hello, and checked in to make sure you were getting what you needed. Will absolutely recommend to people to go here, and we’ll be back in the future. We went on Monday around 12:30pm, and it was very busy. I imagine it must be crazy busy on the weekends. Parking seemed like it could easily get bad on busier days.

Omg this was so good. I had the carnitas hash and it was so flavorful and filling, the butter scone was very tasty. I had one tiny bite of my husband's biscuits and gravy and it was one of the best I've had. The house made ketchup is special, too. We waited about 20 mins for a table for 2 and 930am on a Saturday and it got much busier afterwards, but they have complimentary drip coffee and will serve you other drinks while you wait. The food is definitely worth the wait.

This is hands down the best breakfast place I’ve ever been. We came for a long weekend and ate here every single morning. The food is fresh, delicious and the service is great! Highly recommend if you are in Bend.

My partner and I came here for Saturday breakfast, and it was absolutely worth the wait. There was already a line early in the morning, but what stood out immediately was the thoughtful touch of offering complimentary coffee outside while guests waited — such a welcoming detail! I ordered their lemon pancakes and a chai latte with a little vanilla, both of which were incredible. We were seated outside at a cozy table with a built-in fire pit, which made the whole experience even more special. Our server was so kind and attentive, and as an LGBTQ couple, we felt genuinely safe and welcomed here — something that really matters. McKay Cottage hit all the marks for a warm, inclusive, and delicious breakfast spot. Can’t wait to come back!

I love everything about this place! Food are amazing, service was amazing and perfect ambiance!!! We ordered BBQ Pulled Pork, Chicken salad sandwich and biscuit and gravy and all are excellent. Place was relaxing, servers are excellent too. They checked on you but sensitive to give us our space also.

We went there for breakfast the place was packed and we had to wait 30 mins for a table, but as you wait they have coffee and ice water you help your self while you wait to be called. I had the eggs Benedict with the roasted potatoes and the egg Benedict they use smoked ham in stead of Canadian bacon. The roasted potatoes were very good and also the eggs Benedict. The vegetables omelet was also very good and roasted potatoes, it also came with a scone and their own berry jam. The French toast with the fresh banana was very good and tasty. Service was fast and you can use credit card with a 3.5 percent charge or pay cash to eliminate the 3.5 extra charge. The restroom was clean and they are pet friendly and bring a water bowl for your peg and they have doggie bones in a jar.

Looking for a breakfast spot, my husband and I made our way to McKay Cottage on a Saturday morning. We were fortunate enough to time our arrival where we arrived before the bulk of the morning brunch rush. By the time we left the restaurant, the entire parking lot was full, and there was at least a 45 minute wait. We were seated right away inside and placed our order for two cold brew coffees. The coffees came out right away and were absolutely delicious. After we placed our order for breakfast, we got deep in conversation and planning out the rest of our day. After quite some time, I looked up and realized that not only did we not have our food, but most of the other tables around us who were seated after us were already eating or wrapping up their checks. It had been 45 minutes since we had placed our food order and when I asked our waiter where our food might be, he said it was because I had ordered pancakes that it was taking so long. I glanced at the table next to ours where three individuals at that table were currently enjoying pancakes, so I'm not sure why he used that as his excuse. The hiccup with our food order perhaps being misplaced aside, the food itself was delicious. I ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes with a side of chicken apple sausage. My husband ordered a chorizo hash special. He was slightly disappointed in the chorizo as it was not truly an authentic chorizo-style sausage, but more of an Italian-style sausage. The lemon ricotta pancakes were fluffy and filling. I did think it was a little bit of highway robbery to charge five dollars for a single, small chicken apple sausage that they cut in half. All in all, I think McKay Cottage could be a real five star experience if there hadn't been so many bumps along the way. If I ever find myself back in Bend, I would definitely give this place another shot.

The best biscuits and gravy we've had hands down. Hubby said he would drive 4 hours to have again. However, the cinnamon french toast left more to be desired. There was about a 45 minute wait which we checked on one more place nearby however similar wait time so we came back, which thankfully we our name in just in case. While waiting, they brought water with ice for our dog. They have a website that shows where you are in queue and how long your wait time has been to that point. We were seated in the very back which was perfect for my anxious pup so she did not worry about what or who is behind her. All the staff were amazing and 100% on their service. Patio had umbrella coverage with sunshine coming thru in some areas. We took in the beautiful ambiance of it all. We really need a summer home here!

Soooo delicious!!! Breakfast was fresh and filling! Service was a bit slow but it was pretty busy. We sat in the "heated" tent but it wasn't heated much but they brought us blankets which was

McKay Cottage lived up to its reputation as the best breakfast in Bend. We tried to come Sunday but the wait was too long (not a bad thing), so we came back on a Tuesday and got seated within 10 minutes. We enjoyed the laid back patio and tasty mimosas and fresh coffee. The Baja has stack was delicious & I couldn't eat it all. The smoked salmon benny was fresh and the salmon was smoked perfectly. The SCONES I got the Marionberry scone that came with the best French butter. I could have eaten 10 of them. Our server was attentive and we enjoyed speaking to her. If we lived in Bend, this would be a regular spot for us.

I had breakfast here with my pup in tow. While waited to be seated I started with the Locals Lemon Drop. Beautifully presented & so tasty. They seated us at a table under the tent & near some trees. This was perfect for both me & my dog. The waitress brought him water & a huge dog bone. I had the poblano hash with 2 poached eggs & a huckleberry lemon scone. The waitress brought out the scone first & an iced dirty chai latte. Both, So incredibly delicious!! The scone was flaky & packed with berries. Then she brought out the poblano hash. Perfect amount of poblanos, potatoes & other vegetables. They put 2 perfectly poached eggs on top. With a couple dashes of their house made hot sauce, it was so good! I ordered my pup 2 pork sausages which he gobbled down. I went on a Monday, so busy but got in with only a 15 minute wait. If you go Thursday through Sunday, make a reservation!!

Wow! What a great place to nosh the morning away! We went in a Monday and the place was hopping-can't imagine what a Saturday would be like! An efficient and well oiled operation! You walk up the stairs to give your name at the host station. If you turn right there is a coffee/tea station you can enjoy while waiting. Turn thru the doorway and there is a bar and a pastry shop. We grabbed a key lime mimosa (refreshing if a bit sweet) a classic mimosa and a huckleberry scone to tide us over for our 45 minute wait. We were texted our table was ready and were seated under the tent outdoors. Lovely potted plants were doting the area. We dined in carnitas hash (carnitas, potatoes, corn) with poached eggs and salsa with classic scone on the side. I had a carnitas salad. Carnitas, corn, avocado, black beans, tomato, red pepper with a delicious cilantro lime dressing and tortilla chips. THE FRIED JALAPEÑO RINGS ARE CRACK! Emma R was our server and she was wonderful. Noted in the receipt that all tips are shared amount the staff including kitchen. Wonderful business model and clearly works well-everyone was humming along and helping each other out.

Our server was so friendly and nice! She was very attentive and offered great recommendations, including the sticky bun, which was our favorite part of the meal! Portions are huge - I struggled to eat just the eggs on my plate, let alone the potatoes and sticky bun. Got a drip coffee which was just okay, but the bloody with the spicy vodka was phenomenal. Would recommend!!

It is obvious why they have such a high rating...it is that good. We were in Bend for a concert and met up with some friends that we had not seen in many years. They recommended meeting at McKay Cottage Restaurant and they could not have picked a better breakfast place. They were quoting a 30 minute wait at 10:00, and parking was full. I parked in the Petco lot nearby. Great food and server. Haeli was incredibly friendly and genuine, as she was an exceptional treat. My wife had the breakfast potatoes which she enjoyed at breakfast and later into the evening as left overs. It also came with a tasty scone that I was not allowed to eat...ha ha. Our friend had the Breakfast Burrito which was also perfect. I had the Classic Benedict and it was phenomenal. The hollandaise in particular was well prepared, and I like the fact that they serve ham instead of Canadian Bacon for their Benedict. Now we definitely have a restaurant to return to for breakfast on our next trip to Bend.

Amazing! Service was spot-on, food was next-level (all homemade) -- our group of 5 ordered different dishes and somehow loved every single bite. Portions were so generous we couldn't finish, so we boxed up the deliciousness for later. Pro tip: save room for the bakery afterward... unless you enjoy making impossible dessert decisions in public.

Absolutely delicious. Busy Friday morning crowd. Sat outside with a fire pit and blankets on a cool morning. Everything was fresh, oversized (LOL) and delicious.

Amazing breakfast, I ordered the breakfast special which came with chorizo and over easy eggs and hash brown potatoes. I also ordered one of their famous sticky buns and everything tasted delicious. This is a must stop for breakfast if you're ever in Bend, Oregon.

Most important in a breakfast place in my eyes is the coffee. Theirs was good and they were not stingy. The other bellwether for a breakfast spot is their corned beef hash. I have to say this is in my top ten. Plenty of corned beef, light on the shaved (!) potatoes, sweet red pepper. I didn't even have to ask for poached eggs as that was built in. A fabulous dish. Perhaps building the Lilly: a fabulous huckleberry scone. This is a winner!

Such a great little hole-in-the-wall spot! We found this place while on vacation, and it was a fantastic experience. The food was delicious, the portions were decent, and the service was top-notch. Since it was our first time, we got a free cinnamon roll and wow, it was sooo good! Our server was super friendly and fast, and the food came out quickly. It looks like it gets pretty busy on weekends, but we had a smooth experience. My boyfriend and I were sharing, and they even split everything onto two plates for us before serving, such a thoughtful touch! The decor had a cozy, homey feel, and we sat next to a bookshelf filled with cookbooks and cool recipes. Definitely check this place out if you're in town!

The experience we had for our birthday breakfast was outstanding the server Rachel went above and beyond best service I've had in a long time. Rachel deserves a raise. She definitely made the experience the greatest her knowledge of the menu and the area made our stay even more enjoyable. Thanks again Rachel for the recommendations. We definitely will be back a place. I will be recommending to all my friends and family. It is the breakfast spot of Bend hands-down Best part while you're waiting for your table, you have complementary water and coffee available everyone is extremely friendly and kind

This is a great spot for breakfast with really good food! Just a heads up--it gets super busy on the weekends, so be prepared for at least a 30-minute wait. The good news is they serve cocktails while you wait outside in the parking lot, which makes the wait a lot more enjoyable. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the mood for a tasty breakfast!

Solid breakfast spot with a delicious pastry selection! The lines are long because it's popular so be prepared to wait, but the staff is lovely. The menu is extensive with sweet and savory breakfast options (think: pancakes, crepes, sandwiches, toasts, benedicts). We opted for savory for our sit down meal and got pastries to satisfy our sweet tooth to go. I had the breakfast burrito which is big and filling - the ratio of potatoes was a bit more than I expected as I was hoping for a bit more egg but it was tasty overall. The marionberry lemonade was refreshing and a nice mix of tart and sweet. My husband had the guac n' roll which he thought was a light and delicious breakfast. We got a marionberry scone and a cinnamon roll to go - I scarfed down the cinnamon roll as soon as I started eating it because it was amazing! Great ratio of dough, cinnamon, and frosting.

Tried McKay's for breakfast after reading the great reviews. The atmosphere was comfortable and inviting, the service great, the menu choices wonderful.....and then after the food arrived (plated beautifully), meh. Pancakes tasted like a mix, scone was rather dry, the $6 cup of coffee was shameful. Tasted like water with coffee splash it was quite weak. We were disappointed.

The food here was so fresh, flavorful, and so yummy! Our server Megan was so sweet and recommended great food & drinks. I'm definitely coming back here! Such a great experience at McKay Cottage Restaurant

Loved the service. Great vibes... Our server was attentive to our needs. It's a must every time I come to Bend.

Holy Moly ... the Queen of dog friendly spots. It was a bit chilly in Bend this morning (42), but no problem, they had a heated tent on their patio. Wow, that's taking care of us dog teams!!! Water and a treat right away for my partner, and a menu and water for me. Menu has a ton of breakfast options making choices difficult. Everything was incredibly delish, and service very attentive from the dog friendly staff. This is literally best pup and me breakfast west of Rockies. Would stop in Bend even if we weren't working around here, just to visit.

Does anyone in Bend have jobs? Just asking because this place was already hot at 9am on a Tuesday!? Crazy. When we got there there was only outdoor seating available and a wait for indoor. We sat outside under their wonderful and spacious tent and were served right away. I got the hot chai latte, my husband got the cappuccino and we both thought the drinks were fantastic. My chai had whipped cream and cinnamon which is to die for. My husband got the lemon pancakes and I got the spicy benny. I love an eggs benedict and this was no exception. We didn't have to wait for the food and the waitress was nice, no complaints about the food, service, or atmosphere. We were very glad we got to try Bend's best breakfast restaurant on our way out of town. I think this place is fantastic and would love to come again some time!

Love this place! We sat outside on a summer morning and it was perfect. Everything on the menu looks amazing but I selected the house made granola and yogurt. It tasted amazing and was very filling. They have a nice cocktail selection is you want more than just coffee. The service was very cheerful and happy to help and be at work.

Best brunch in town! And great value for what you get. They don't do reservations and it's usually a wait when you arrive because of how popular they are but once your name is down, they are quick to get you a drink while you wait. The staff is accommodating and it's one of my favorite places to sit outdoors and eat. Great vibes at McKay!

Fantastic all around. Food taste and quality , service, amenities and the overall friendly atmosphere and reception. It was impressive. Of course prices have risen way up these days as they have across the board everywhere. But at least we felt good afterwards with no complaints. Well done again everyone at McKay's.

We were traveling through Bend early in the morning and looking for breakfast. We made our way to McaKay Cottage Restaurant based off Yelp reviews. If we find ourselves back in Bend, we will be back! This place was amazing. Adorable restuarant with amazing food and coffee. Everyone was pleseant and service was quick!

Our server was delightful. Loved that they offered a fruit cup, crackers and toys for our son to play with. Nice little surprise. The bread pudding was amazing!!! Omg I wish I could eat that bread every morning. Black butte Benny was good too. The bread pudding was the show stopper! We will back to try other delicious items on their menu. Adorable little cabin and the river is across the street. Nice little walk after a tasty brunch.

Another great experience at McKay Cottage. Today we sat outside around one of the fire pits. Great day to sit outside. Wonderful service. Wonderful food. My wife appreciates the gluten free options up and down the menu. We will continue to make this a regular stop.

Im always skeptical when a business bills itself as winning awards...but this place is only flaunting their fabulousness. The food, the service and every thing they do are superb!!! They literally don't need to advertise how great it is...but they do. I had the Carnitas Torta today, and it was amazing. The fries. Amazing. Our server, amazing. the wait, amazing (the only negative thing). We waited about 35 minutes for 3 people, which honestly is good for this place. I expected longer! Harvest Hash is also great! But seriously...everything here is amazing.

So I'll start with the bummer and get that out of the way. Parking sucks. Add to that the clientele were idiots parkers. Now that's off my chest, phew! We arrived at 11 on a Wednesday and I was surprised at the crowd. It's clear the reviews preceded us. We were offered outside, tent or inside easing within 15 minutes and it took just about that to get a table inside. Service was not fast, it was about 25 minutes from order to receiving our meal but our server was kind and attentive and we never felt neglected. It's so cute inide with the old craftsman style. The food was delicious. My kids were in picky pants mode so it was 50-50 if they'd want what they ordered when they got it but success! My husband loved their home style potatoes and the eggs Benedict I had was great.

Still. Still a charming cottage feel inside this revered breakfast/Bruch icon. MacKays dispelled the old saw-location, location,location. Invisibly hidden down a side street below a dental office pet shop parking lot, with terribly little parking of their own, MacKays is sustained by quality of food, polite service by a well TRAINED staff. My most recent visit, however, revealed another truth, success happens.... To the best of them. We had brunch on the pavers, not the grass, with dozens of others, under a huge permanent tent. Our mimosa was fresh and bubbly, and the bruch was tasty. But, unbeknownst to the current generation of brunches, the soul of the place had faded, maybe from overuse, over love. The Benedict's were uneven, some lacked more than a dollop of that gorgeous sauce. The house potatoes were there, but dry and lifeless. The crown is slightly askew, no longer sparkling, but with a sheen. Keep on you new generation of fans. You won't know the difference. And us old timers who loved her so well will move on, with a wistful glance over our shoulder at what used to be.

Great breakfast experience! The food was delicious but we really loved how accommodating they were for kids. We will definitely be back!

This place is so cute and has lots of seating! We arrived around 11 on a Saturday and waited about 30-40 minutes. I love how they offer you coffee or you can order drinks at their register. They will bring out your drinks and just add to your tab. Drinks: hot apple pie (4/5) perfect for cold weather. I only drink tequila, but this wasn't bad. Food: Harvest hash: loved the variety of ingredients. The scone was delicious, so I recommend upgrading (5/5) Guac n Roll: loved this "avocado toast" recipe esp with the chili - lime salt. (5/5) Guys... the ketchup is so fire. I bought one to bring home and almost finished more than half the bottle in 5 days.

Had a small wait but was seated quickly! We loved everything about it! Very generous serving of eggs and potatoes that we loved! Pancakes were fluffy but the French toast was a bit small, and wished for more slices. Overall had a great experience!

Everything was amazing! This little breakfast/brunch nook was a hidden gem. My husband ordered the Cottage omelet and I had the special, pork belly Benedict! Very very good! The atmosphere was comfortable and delightful. Emmett was a fantastic server and very friendly! Our first time but not our last!

Great service, food was delicious, big servings easy to split. Loved eating in the library. Definitely recommend this place.

We've been to McKay's four times. If you don't get there early, the wait can be too long for those of us who are on the road. That happened two of the four visits and we had to leave instead of staying. The ambiance and food are always great. My wife loves the avocado toast and I, a half order of biscuits and gravy. Our server was a pleasant, energetic young man. He took our drink orders: two espressos, orange juice for me and our usual order (above). He came back a few minutes later and assured us our coffee would be right out. A few minutes later another staff member came up to the table and made the same claim about our coffee. Then a few minutes later the owner came up and said the same thing. Really? Three people had to come up and tell us our drinks would be right out? When the espressos finally got there, they were undrinkable. The beans were overcooked making the coffee extremely bitter and even sugar couldn't help. We drink espresso like most Europeans drink espresso (we spent six years in Europe) no milk, no sweeteners, no nothing, just straight espresso. And it's not bitter. Anything else is not espresso, it's coffee flavored with whatever junk people put in it. If they want real "Italian" espresso coffee they should use Caffé D'arte, it's much better. When the food arrived, it was a small plate of biscuits and gravy. No potatoes and no orange juice. The server had forgotten them. Overall, the food was great, but the service this time was questionable, thus a three star rating instead of four.

FANTASTIC! My wife and I stopped in here for breakfast while in town recently and were blown away by the service and quality of food. Our server was really friendly and helpful by making great suggestions. The atmosphere of the house made it feel quaint and comfortable. The menu had so many good options, it was difficult to decide but we both loved our meals. The portions were very generous, and we probably could have split one of the bigger options. I can't wait to go back.

Food was amazing. The lemon pancakes were fluffy, and rich tasting. Lemon " curd" was a smooth finish. The McKay cottage potatoes were also good! The potatoes had a nice smoky taste to them as well as the ham . The perfect condiment was their homemade ketchup, which was a nice Rich sweet tomato taste. Total was about $58 whenever you had in the lemonade and the orange juice . I would definitely come back based off. The taste in the service was great as well. The cottage style restaurant is a favorite now..

Traveling up north and we need a place to have breakfast at... soooo happy we found this place. Food was delicious and many, if not all, of the items are made from scratch and have a homemade taste to it. The pancakes were soft, moist and had flavor. The chicken sausage seemed freshly cooked and not in a microwave. They really must use fresh ingredients because my intestines were not giving me hell as they usually do when I eat greasy, processed heavily sweet items. The food was so good, my son wants to move to Bend OR for it. Great service and the vibe was pleasant. It is a popular spot so be aware there may be a good wait, but well worth it.

Great service and food ... but be warned the portions are HUGE so come with a big appetite or split your order with a friend.

This place is a treasure!! The food is excellent, the ambiance is beautiful, and the service is extraordinary! Everyone took great care of us, especially our wonderful server, Haeli. She made sure that not only my wife and I had what we needed, but also that our furry baby, Hazel, had what she needed. The Guac and Roll was delicious, and my Dirty Chai was the best I've ever had! We will definitely be back the next time we pass through.

My wife and I had an excellent breakfast at McKay Cottage. She had the strawberry crepes with a side of sausage and I had the "gauc N' roll" toast. We both enjoyed our meals very much! The staff were very attentive and we had fun talking to them.

What a great place. Had Biscuits & Gravy; that is sausage and white pepper gravy over some jalapeño cheddar biscuits. Extra crispy potatoes and two poached eggs. Washed down with fresh apple juice and a hot chai latte. Service was quick as well. Justin did a great job with the service. For sure a go back kind of thing for this joint. So many things to choose.

Such a cute restaurant!!! They provide bonfires to keep yourself warm while you're waiting to be seated, which is extremely nice during these winter months. The food is made with love!!!! The coffee is also amazing!! I went today, on my birthday and the waitress gave me a really tasty cinnamon roll for free. I had an iced vanilla dirty chai which was made perfectly. For my breakfast meal, I had French toast topped with extremely fresh strawberries, a side of country potatoes that were perfectly seasoned and crunchy. I also had a side of fluffy scrambled eggs, and tasty sausage (I did not finish everything lol) my boyfriend had a crepe, biscuits and gravy, bacon, eggs, and potatoes. HE LOVED IT ALL!!! 10/10!!!!

Remembered I had a good breakfast here about 7 years ago so a return when I was in town was in order. The daily special was a carnitas hash so that was the order. After drinks ( small carafe of coffee)were delivered the waiter dropped off their standard butter scone. Meal came up not quick not slow. Looked great, tasted better. Almost too big for me, and I have a hearty appetite. Quaint space...remodeled old house? Service was attentive. Go when you have plenty of time, took about an hour with no wait to be seated and I beat the rush. I parked in the side gravel lot as I remembered parking was a bit tight. Go here!

The food was phenomenal! I ordered the Gourmet Breakfast sandwich and it did not disappoint. The bread was perfectly crispy and the filling was seasoned to perfection! I also will be thinking of the breakfast potato's for the next 2-3 business days.

Another great brunch at McKay! We always feel cared for and leave supremely happy after each visit. While we waited for our table inside, we enjoyed bottomless fresh drip coffee and chatted on the heated patio. Jeremy was a very attentive server and took great care of our party. We'll definitely be back!
