Tastebuds Bistro 6042 U.S. 101, Lincoln City, OR 97367

"This cute little Bistro is right on hwy 101 as you get to Siletz Bay. They have an extensive breakfast and lunch menu with all the staples. Most everything seems to be made on site from the sausage links to the handbreaded chicken Fried Steak to a variety of gravies. The portions are massive! Picture is a HALF order of biscuits and gravy! The food is well prepared, eggs cooked properly, bread toasted nicely. All that said, salt and pepper throughout the cooking process would do a world of good. We were greeted promptly and hot coffee came out swiftly. The waitresses were cheery and polite, very attentive. The restaurant has all sorts of things to look at, and an impressive collection of hot sauces."

"Spectacularly surprised. Musta been asleep at the wheel for too long and passed this south Lincoln City restaurant many times, thinking (wrongly) that this was the same place I had visited years prior. Found that new owners had been doing a spectacular job for past two and half years, and I had been missing out. Daughter was visiting and we were exploring opportunities after I recognized it wasn't the same signage or prior owners, after entering. Service and food were top notch. I had Chicken Fried Steak and expected single slice of French Toast, and got three instead. No problem, even though more than I usually eat, it was all so good I force-fed myself it all. (see pix of food, not me) My daughter had a half order of biscuits and gravy and side of hash browns. Tons of biscuits/gravy for a half. Service was awesome. Busy but no chaos. Staff right on the mark, as we discussed how to keep a smile while having tongue piercing. Not here though. There is a complication on their hours depending on who you use for your dine search. When my daughter was looking up Tastebuds, it showed them being closed SA/SU, which is not true. Their actual restaurant hours are 8-2pm W-M, except Tues. the only day restaurant is closed. Cheers"

"Cute little restaurant serving breakfast and lunch. Staff is friendly and service was fast. The hamburger was well seasoned and perfectly cooked. I will go back to try breakfast for sure."

"Tried this for breakfast this morning with family. Was not a hard location to find as it was nestled right across the street in it's own lot from Pelican Brewery off 101. Upon arriving, we were seated quickly despite the Bistro looking busy/packed with patrons. Before I get to the food - want to stress that the service was 5 star across the board. Our server was attentive, friendly, and welcoming and that's sometimes really overlooked at restaurants. We ordered the Country Benedict (only available on Sat/Sun!), 2 Egg Breakfast with pancakes, Berry Stuffed Fresh Toast, Biscuits & Gravy and a Chicken Fried Steak. Aesthetics wise, the food looked appetizing, was hot, looked fresh and smelled great. Upon eating it, we can truthfully only recommend the County Benedict, Pancakes and Eggs. The chicken fried steak was subpar, as the fry wasn't executed as great as you'd hope and the taste left a lot for improvement, and the Biscuits & Gravy was extremely underwhelming as the gravy was WAY overpowered with sage to the point none of us could finish it. That being said, the French Toast was well done but didn't expect whole fruit inside of it which made it slightly difficult to eat but otherwise very tasty, and the pancakes were light and fluffy and sweet - sleeper hit! The true winner was the County Benedict - the chorizo gravy was INSANELY GOOD, like should not have been as good as it was. Highly highly recommend this dish on the weekends - it's worth it's weight in gold! All in all, would recommend Tastebuds Bistro for breakfast for the French Toast, Pancakes and Benedict on the weekends. Solid 4 star establishment with 5 star service. ⭐⭐⭐⭐"

"Outstanding. The menu includes plenty of breakfast options, a huge variety of hamburgers, sandwiches, and salads. Me and the person with me ordered a patty melt with onion rings, and a Denver skillet. The melt was hot and juicy, the onions rings light and flaky. Delicious. I was told the Denver skillet tasted very, VERY, good. Put this together with some of the best wait staff I’ve ever encountered, and you can be sure I will be going back for more. Can’t wait to try some of those hamburgers. Beer is available for those that need their thirst quenched."
