Newport Cafe

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Newport Cafe in Newport, Oregon, is a must-visit treasure! For 13 years, we’ve never skipped a stop here on our coastal trips, and it’s always a highlight. Their massive 3lb burgers are a fun challenge, and the 7lb Super Ultimate Monster Burger is a beast—enough to feed a big family! The clam chowder bread bowls are rich and soul-warming, and this time, with our kids in tow, we devoured the stuffed French toast, which was pure bliss. The menu is so vast you could try something new every day for a month and still not cover it all. Service is consistently amazing, with staff treating you like family. The atmosphere is cozy, unique, and full of charm, with portions so generous you’ll never leave hungry. This place is extra special to us as the spot of our first honeymoon dinner, and it easily ranks in my top 10 dining experiences ever. A true Newport staple that I can’t recommend enough! What we had this time! Strawberry stuffed French toast Clam chowder Cuban sandwich with pastrami! Add the pastrami you will be happy you did!

My husband & I came across the Newport Cafe on a recent roadtrip down Hwy 101. We LOVE little greasy spoon, hole in the wall sort of spots for breakfast. Somehow they always have the best food & this joint did not disappoint!! The food was yummy, the team working was personable & the atmosphere was an "everyone is welcome" kind of vibe. We'll definitely stop in the next time we're near Newport. Big thanks, from Seattle!!!

Delicious! The best thing is the friendly staff and atmosphere. Also the HUGE variety of menu items!! Went with my friends, two of us really liked our food and the other two thought it was mid. So don't have high expectations, but the food is good and it's a great breakfast spot.

“Everything homemade!” There was not a single thing homemade on this plate, every single thing was frozen delivered and my over medium eggs were fried to a crisp. When it makes you wish you would have gone to a chain, you know it’s bad. Photos speak for themselves

They say they were voted #1, and I can see why. I was greeted right away. Their staff were cheerful and efficient. The only reason I couldn't give it a 5 for service was there was an error with my order, and I had to drive 12 miles round trip to fix it. But they certainly did make it right. I ordered the cod & fries, with a cup of chowder and a side of coleslaw. The fish was good, the batter was light and the fish was moist & tender. I didn't get my fries, so I have no idea how they are, but I'm betting they're better than average. The coleslaw was the best I think I've ever had. I can't exactly say why, except it was dressed light, not in a cloying or thick dressing, and it had a very bright refreshing note to it. I suspect there's a touch of lemon juice in it, but I don't know. I didn't get my cup of chowder originally either, and it had been charged as a substitute for the fries instead of an addition. But when I returned to get it, I was given a bowl. The chowder was excellent. I feel it was better than the Crab shop in South Beach and Mo's. I know, sacrilege. But it is nicely savory, not overly thick or overwhelmed with chunks of potatoes. It had a lot of clams that were tender, and some were quite good-sized chunks. It also had a very pleasant buttery undertone in every bite without any butter added when served. All in all, I'd highly recommend the Newport Cafe and will definitely return to try their crab cakes, which I was told is one of their most ordered items. The only thing I'd offer as a caution is to ensure you're clear what you want to order and, if you take it to go, check it before you drive off.

Cannot say enough good things about this place all the food is amazing!!! the heart attack burger is my favorite and I love that they're 1 lb patties. The clam chowder blows anyone else out the water. I'll drive two hours from eugene just to eat here

This was a throwback with the comic characters and signage. The menu covers were great. We ordered the denver omelet and cuban. No complaints about food and nothing remarkable either. I would recommend on the atmosphere alone. Oh and you can get anything on the menu anything

Newport Cafe is a cozy spot for classic comfort food. The burger with pineapple is juicy and flavorful, while the fried oysters are crisp and fresh. The salad is simple but satisfying. Liver and onions are cooked just right for those who love the classic dish. Friendly service and generous portions make it worth a visit.

We were crazing breakfast for dinner! One of the only, if not the only, restaurant in Newport that does all day breakfast! Even the piggly wiggly was closed!! Staff was phenomenal and super attentive. Plenty of seating and would be good for medium party sizes.

My meal was excellent! Service - A+ Flavor of food - A+ Quantity of food - A+ Coffee - A+ Selection - A+ I ordered the Chile Rellenos from the breakfast menu (I think it was $17). I requested a biscuit rather than the corn tortillas that would usually be served with this entree. I loved each and every bite! The meal included beans (black and pinto combo) two eggs (I chose over easy) salsa, the best chile relleno I've ever had the pleasure to eat. The coffee was great too. If they were local to where I live, I'd be back to try everything else on the menu. The outside of the building and the view from inside to outside is nothing special while the inside is cute.

I recently traveled out of state from Las Vegas to visit a charming café, and it was definitely worth the trip. The food was very good, with everything made fresh to order. Each dish had a delightful homemade quality that really stood out. However, I felt that the menu could use a little more variety. While the dishes were tasty, a few more options would have made the experience even better. It did take while for us to place our order. The decor on the walls gives me the impression that someone here used to be a boxer or fighter turned business owner.

Great food, in a cozy little spot. My wife said it's the best chicken fried steak she's ever had, and she orders that everywhere we go.

We love the diner style. They are Hawaiian burger was a 5 star 10 napkin burger. Side salad and chowder were good but not as good as the burger. Service was helpful and friendly.

Friendly service, good food, would recommend! I got the chicken sandwich with cheese, tomato, bacon, avocado and a side of mashed potatoes. When we're in town again we'll be coming back.

Nice, roadside diner on Highway 101. Has that beach feel to it. Outdoor picnic tables. Good service, reasonable prices and breakfast served all day. The cheddar cheese omelet was not cheesy enough. Great hash browns. The razor clams were prepared nicely and were very good. The clam chowder had the right consistency and good flavor.

I don't normally eat breakfast so being able to get the senior-sized breakfast was just the perfect amount (55 and older). The waffles were light and airy. The sausage was perfectly cooked, slightly crisp on the outside. I shared a sausage with my husband before I had tasted it. If I would have known how good it was, I would eaten both of them! Yummy.

We showed up for a late lunch around 130 pm on a Saturday and the cafe was packed. We only had about a ten minute wait to get a table for four. They have a large menu, something for everyone.   We got the taco salad, crab melt, side of french fries and a cheeseburger.   The taco salad was huge! We could have shared. The shell was fried in house and loaded with ground beef, lettuce and all the fixings.  The crab melt was good but messy. The crab had a bit more mayo than I'm used to so with each bite, the mayo mixture seeped out. The meal came with a generous portion of french fries. I'd probably order something else next time.  The cheeseburger was good. Standard cheeseburger, cooked as it should be, no complaints.   There is indoor and outdoor dining. Although, if you eat outside,  I believe their sign said it comes with a charge for take-out boxes.  The cafe offers take-out, delivery and is open seven days a week.  The workers impressed me. They were focused on getting to each table quick and running food out. They were in constant motion.  Newport Cafe is located just off the highway. Lots of parking. Call in your order ahead of time for take-out. Looking forward to our next visit.

I did not eat in Newport cafe but went inside to order pick up. The staff is all friendly and delivered it to my car. We ate it at the beach and truly enjoyed the food. The clam chowder is packed with all the ingredients and has great flavor. They also pack everything you need to go. My sandwich was a crab sandwich and it hit the spot I was looking for. My partner had a Philly cheesesteak and also enjoyed. Great take out food for the coast to go to the beach.

Great Breakfast Experience @ Newport Cafe in Newport, OR. !! First time patrons to this Cafe during the late morning rush on a Friday. The staff acknowledged us upon entry and guided us to an open table. They were friendly enough, but did not adhere to the first come, first serve unspoken rule, so we were a little put off when they took someone else's order before us, who clearly arrived after us. Extensive breakfast food options. We appreciated the well stocked selection of condiments provided at every table. The coffee was average and our meals were delicious, served hot, and the side of bacon, crisp. Portion sizes were more than enough. The restaurant itself leans toward old-fashioned, but clean and colorful. They had logo merchandise for purchase. The dining area was on the smaller side, but the tables were adequately spaced out. We would dine here again.

After hearing it recommended by several locals, we had to try it. Portions really are massive, and our fish and chips were spot on, not too bready and crispy in all the right places. The burgers looked ginormous. Also: breakfast all day, 7 days a week! Seems to always be busy, so you may wait to get in, but the service is decent and with a smile. Ambiance isn't the best however: you're in a smallish box of a building in the middle of a parking lot.

Overall, we were very pleased with our experience at Newport Cafe. Service was excellent. Very friendly staff. Small dining area. We went around 9am on a Sunday in January so we were able to get a table right away, although it was busy. Front of menu says everything is homemade. I ordered chicken fried steak. Definitely hand breaded. Very tasty. Would order this 100 times. My husband ordered corned beef hash. His comment "it's edible". Very definitely did not appear to be homemade. It seemed to be canned corned beef hash fried up in a crisp "patty". It wasn't awful but definitely would not order this again. We will definitely visit again as there are plenty of tasty options on the menu.

We stopped in on a road trip and it was honestly incredible. Maybe the best pancake I've ever had?? And my boyfriend said one of the best clam chowders he's ever had. Exquisite!

They take their food seriously here. Hole in the wall restaurant doesn't look like much but ooohhh the food. Best crab cake I ever had and generous Philly cheese steak sandwich. Loved the homemade fries and even the side salad was much better than most. Prompt attentive service. I will definitely be back here !!!!

If you like an old school vibe that reminds a Boomer of going to Grandma's, this place rocks it. I'll take funky over stark or trendy any day. Wish there was a place like this where I live. Someone commented this isn't an "atmosphere" place but I love an atmosphere like this. Instead of just the typical breakfast menu like everywhere else, they implement some see seafood options. When I'm on the coast, I'm in a seafood mood and the

Service was great. It's like walking into an old diner, mellow... We tried their breakfast and burgers. No complaints. Not rock star quality but good. I'd come again... a little in the high price side... for a frozen burger....

Always love to stop here when we're on the coast. We try to time our travel through Newport at mealtimes. Great food, menu is extensive and good service.

Excellent food, portions big, and service was great. Prices very affordable. Variety of sauces and condiments right at your table. Love coming here every time we visit Newport.

What a total hidden gem. This is one of those once in a lifetime restaurants you find usually when traveling. We we're heading on through the Oregon coast back to California and we stopped in here at the Newport Cafe and the people that work here are so polite and nice that people come in here and they all know everybody. They do not skimp on your chow in any way and the food is great.The menu is great and they have a gigantic monster burger or sandwich im not sure exactly which one it was but it was a monster. Super courteous people with over the top service. Prices a good and the food is superb.

AMAZING!! Great food, friendly staff. Highly recommend. We ate breakfast and can't wait to come back for lunch

I ignored the lower reviews on Yelp and tried this one because every time we drove by it was packed. No regrets, it was so good! The all day breakfast option was perfect because I wanted dinner but the rest of my family wanted dessert, so they got the stuffed French toast which definitely qualifies as dessert! They got the peach one and a slice of cheesecake and practically licked their plates clean. Or maybe they really did lick them, I wasn't watching closely as I was focused on my Philly cheesesteak and homemade fries. Both were excellent. I couldn't decide between a French dip and Philly so got the Philly with au jus- pro move, it satisfied both cravings. Wish I was still in town and could try their breakfast too. Highly recommend if you're craving a casual diner style meal.

If you're from here you probably know the Newport cafe lore but seriously FUCK THIS PLACE. the owner is a DRUG LORD who sells METH behind the back dumpster. Tourists BEWARE Food is great though. Just order takeout and do not tip. They probably put illicit substances in it to make you keep coming back. Wouldn't be surprised. 10/10. Food slaps

Food was fine. Service was not great at all. Very slow, took regulars orders before anyone else's even though others were seated first. (Not us but others we noticed) prices are meh.

While in Newport for a few days, we were looking for a good place for seafood. My cousin Googled and found Newport Cafe, and the reviews were good. The food was fabulous, and all of the staff were very friendly and helpful. We were so impressed that we went back the next day..

I said good lord this place is an absolute must if you're in the area. Driving around and I needed food. I like the old school, been here a min/dive vibe so I stopped in. Unfortunately their card matching was down but luckily had 20 in cash which was enough for clam chowder and biscuits gravy. Man, everything hit all the flavor points and some. Chowder was just right and warm, gravy was flavorful and doughy. I wish I could have tried more of their stuff. The guy up front was extremely nice and made sure to let us know about the card issue as well as brought out the food outside. This place is a Deff must!

I was actually pretty impressed by the food. The place doesn't look like much. Kind of a dive atmosphere, but the halibut and cod were great, the tartar sauce was bomb and the homemade fries were delicious. I was most impressed by the service, the staff was polite and prompt and on top of everything. I would definitely eat here again.

Today was our second time eating here, out third visit to the OR coast. I love the oysters here at the coast. Or I did? I ordered the pan fried oysters, my husband ordered the halibut. Food comes and server hooks us up with ranch and extra tartar. Yea. 2-3 oysters in, I go to cut one in half and the contents of the oyster spills out on my plate about two teaspoons worth of goo that looked like the oyster had just had a recent meal. And we all know oysters are filter eaters. Then I noticed another one was in the same condition. I've eaten many oysters, raw and cooked. You know what you're getting with a raw oyster. But a cooked oyster should be cooked solid, not spew a couple of teaspoons of what looked like it would be at home on a piece of toilet paper onto your plate. The server noticed I did not eat most of my oysters. I mentioned that I did not enjoy them. In hindsight, even the 2-3 I ate initially were nothing special. At some point she said something about "off check". I thought good, they're at least doing the right thing and comping my meal. Check comes and we got 20% off. Husband is in front of me heading to cashier. I take note that the hair challenged man says something under his breath to the other hair challenged man at the register. I go on out and my husband comes out and says "that and they expected a 25% tip as that was the preset amount on the device when he went to sign. (I see another reviewer a couple days ago alluded to same issue). My husband changed it to 20%. That's why I married him. Three hours later and this 1/3 of a lunch I ate is still sitting in the pit of my stomach. BLECH. One star as husband enjoyed his halibut and 1 star for service otherwise being as expected. I will never return. Your mileage may differ... The husband

Wow, amazing. Awesome! Food portions amazing. Chean , quiet. Servers attentive, but not annoying . Did breakfast and Dinner here!

On our Hog ride to the Oregon Coast our motel did not offer breakfast. Boy did this place turn our to be excellent. Very great staff, excellent food, just a great restaurant. Definitely be back!!!

Me and my parents were coming through town after getting off a cruise in Seattle and heading home and we stop in Newport for the night. So we decided to try this place out for dinner and the food was fantastic the services was excellent. It wasn't too busy when we got there around 5pm. Pancakes were nice and filling.

Did take out right minutes before they closed. Still friendly and efficient. There was a wait to get a table inside. Huge portions, and managed to get every single thing spot on. Staff ran to my husband in the parking lot because he was concerned he forgot the crackers for the clam chowder. Amazing clam chowder, burgers and my son thinks the crispiest chicken tenders ever. Absolutely will return.

A little concerning and pretty gross. We were eating our meals and I saw 2 waiters chatting by the soup kitchen counter after one of waiters had just brought back to counter some chowder that what I gathered some other customers refused. One waiter said something about the chowders to the other waiter. Then the second waiter opened up kitchen stainless soup lid and quickly dumped both bowls that had been returned quickly back into main chowder used for serving. We won't eat there again.

Yummy and delicious thank goodness for the food and drinks and the atmosphere. The service and food are wonderful!

This is not an atmosphere restaurant but the food is good, the service was fine and the prices right. A very large and varied menu. The burgers are the size of your head. We split the Captains plate that was an assortment of fried fish, clams and oysters and shrimp. It was well done. The breading on the fish was similar to a tempura which I love. The place is not overly clean or pretty but if you want good fresh seafood, you will be happy. My husband RAVED about the clam chowder.

Fish was old, possibly frozen. Fries were soggy and barely seasoned. First impressions are important to me. I walked in and asked one of the 5 people standing there absolutely not even giving me their time. It wasn't even busy. No greeting, or welcome of any sort. " So what's good" I asked. the response, "I don't know". Here's a menu. I ordered salmon fish & chips "YUCK" it was as if my food was old and microwaved. soggy fries that were too hot to eat? HUH?? something's not right. never again..I live here in Newport and that was my first & last time eating at Newport cafe. It just sucked. HARD

This place is a rip off. I was shorted the bacon on my burger and the short fat guy acted like we were lying about it, then when I was given the bacon it had hair on it! My Calamari was underdone, it wasn't even browned so I returned it for a refund. This was my first and last time eating at this overpriced run down place.

Newport Cafe is one of those iconic places that may not have the most amazing food you'll ever taste, however it's iconic enough you have to try it, even if it's just once in your life. I was skeptical about the restaurants food and service after numerous conversations with prior patrons. However, my husband and I lucked out with a fabulous experience last years. The service was quick and easy. Granted, we'd gone during the off-hour so there was practically no one else there. We started off with a bowl of clam chowder. The both of us agreed that it was delicious! Lots of clams and super creamy. My husband ordered the Hawaiian burger ($9.00) topped with ham, pineapple and Swiss cheese. I ordered the finger steaks with fries ($11.00). Both of us were completely satisfied and loved our meals! I didn't feel too great after the finger steaks just because they are very greasy, so beware. Overall, I'd probably go back!

What a great find!!! Only place we could find open along the coast and so happy we did! The best Reuben sandwich I've ever had and the red potatoes are to die for!! Thank you for being open and Merry Christmas!!!!!

It a not fancy place but true shabby shack experience with GREAT food. The options are incredible and all of it so fresh. This is what I want when I go to the Oregon coast, fresh caught local seafood and lots of it. They do serve on disposable trays so it's easy to take with you or eat out at a picnic table. There is some seating inside but limited. The servers are 100% friendly and efficient! Check it out sometime, and even better if you can catch a sunny day to be able to sit outside. There is almost always a line for food so just know that's normal. It's worth it to wait.

I would give this place an overall 2- 3 stars. I've eaten here before and enjoyed the food very much. The chicken strips are fabulous no arguing about that but today the fries weren't very good and the chowder was only warm not hot. The bread in the bread bowl was a really bad version of stall sour dough. I'm certain it would have tasted much better hot. The man at checkout had no problem asking for a 25% tip for take out! Good food and good service speaks for itself you don't have to let the customers know you would like a 25% tip.... Jmo...

Relaxed atmosphere, kind, clean, delicious, reasonable prices, wonderful service, really fantastic chowder and burgers!

I love Newport Cafe, they have a little bit of everything. Great omelets, and pancakes. Great burgers in many sizes and fish and chips. My favorites are their patty melts and prime rib sandwiches which you can get all of them to eat in or call ahead and it's ready when you get there.

I'm from Arizona and the seafood is limited...therefore this menu was incredible. I love this atmosphere because it feels so warm and welcoming. The staff made us feel like we've been coming there for years... I ordered the Sea Burrito which came with Crab, and scallops. I definitely recommend you try it. Also, was advised that the clam chowder was a must so we had to do that. We agree, it's a must! Definitely check out the Newport Cafe...inside out dining availability

A very casual diner located conveniently on the Newport drive. The menu was very vast with something for everyone. Breakfast served all day, sandwiches, burgers and deep fried foods. Very good option for a food stop. Dine in or take out. Outdoor seating picnic tables but be warned it's very windy

BEST PLACE EVER! Seriously. The food is to die for. Fish is fresh and not too much batter. Fries are homemade and delicious! The service is TOP NOTCH! Every single one of the guys that works there is a gem. They honored every request we asked for happily. Super friendly and kind! Checked in on us multiple times. We came here twice during our 5 day stay and can't wait to come back on our next trip to Newport:)

Fantastic food, great service, authentic atmosphere. Best clam chowder of my entire (69 year) life!!

My husband and I love their clam chowder. I don't think we have even ever tried anything else. But it is delicious! One time we were going camping and ate there on our way to the campsite and again on our way home! Yum!

Soggy fries and soggy cod. Drinks were never refilled despite being empty. The only redeeming factor was the clam chowder.
