    Patio closed

    As many have pointed out, the food here is great, so is the service, but apparently the patio being closed is a regular thing. I would give it more stars, but since this is “Bring Fido” the review has to be based on us needing to leave the dog behind.

    Foods good but not as dog friendly as hoped

    Last two times we have tried to eat breakfast there with our pup we couldn’t. Once because the patio was closed because it had rained earlier and the second time was because they weren’t going to open the patio until 10:00.

    Don’t bother

    We were excited to try this place out, after finding it was recommended on Bring Fido.
    We arrived a little after 9am, and asked to sit on the patio (we had our dog). The establishment wasn’t busy - and they told my husband it would be at least a 20 min wait to sit there. The staff weren’t friendly at all so we just left. Brought our business to Snug Harbor Bar & Grill a bit further up the road and were happy we did.

    Patio Closed

    We took two small dogs there after reading Fido’s reviews and they said their patio was closed due to rain so no dogs. It’s oregon, it’s always raining. It wasn’t raining when we called in. That’s the second time I’ve tried to bring dogs and the patio has been closed. The woman in front not friendly at all. Done with this place.

    Food made with love

    This is a busy spot for locals and visitors alike. They have a few tables outside where you can sit with your pup and they even have a special menu for dogs.

    The outdoor seating was already full for breakfast so we couldn't bring our dog in, but the food was still incredible! You can order traditional breakfast meals, but they really kick up their menu and have interesting specials. Next time we visit I'm definitely getting the frosted flakes French toast. The chicken fried cutlet with biscuits & gravy plus a giant cinnamon roll was enough for the two of us to share and still have leftovers for our pooch.

    The staff is also what sets this restaurant apart, so friendly and accommodating!

    Wonderful

    Hands down best breakfast in Lincoln City. My wife and I loved it so much we ate there two days in a row. They were wonderful to Cooper, our 4 month old golden retriever puppy and we couldn’t have been happier. Such wonderful people and food

    VERY dog-friendly, delicious food, limited hours

    Nelscott Cafe has three picnic tables in a side yard for canine diners. Not only do doggies get a complimentary homemade biscuit, they also have menu items that can be ordered! The food is fresh and delicious here. I'd be happier if they were open for dinner.

    Best part of the day!

    My Mom took me here for lunch. Fresh water was brought out and I ordered chicken breast with tillamook cheddar off the K9 menu - I roamed on the patio and chowed down with my Mom who had a delicious Reuben. Love this spot and will return!
