21 Best American Restaurants near Bay City

“GREAT FOOD AND SERVICE!!! The very nice lady running the place really busted her hump to make sure we were taken care of. We have been coming to this place for years when traveling through. Never ever not had amazing food and drinks. This is a definitely stop for a drink, food or gamble. I had fish and chips hand beaded at time of order home made coleslaw. AMAZING!“

“While driving along the Oregon Coast, which reminded me so much of my hometown scenery, I decided this was a place we absolutely had to stop—and I’m so glad we did. Just as I imagined, the food was delicious and full of the warmth and care of a small-town kitchen.

Traveling with three children and bringing them into a restaurant is never easy, but the staff went out of their way to make special bear-face pancakes just for them. The kids were so excited, repeating “It’s so good!” again and again. My wife and I also enjoyed chatting with the waitresses, which made the experience feel incredibly homey and welcoming.

It was a truly wonderful breakfast in a very friendly, family-oriented atmosphere. Whenever we drive the Oregon Coast again, this is definitely a place we’ll stop by. Thank you so much.“

“Marco Polo is Awesome! people there were wonderful. if your driving thru Tillamook, this is the place to go!“

“Great food, good atmosphere“

“we all know about Downey's cinnamon rolls but we all have been sleeping on this cheesecake!! I got one piece for my wife and it was the best cheesecake I have ever had 🤤🤤 do yourself a favor? go grab a slice ❤️“

“The gentleman was working solo tonight on the floor. The bartender was helping where she could. It was great to see the positive attitude and team work when he clearly was getting his limits pushed. Good job!!!!!“

“We had the catch of the day, which was pan seared halibut with roasted vegetables and chantarelle mushrooms in a creamy Sherry sauce. It was delicious. The service was great also. Very pleased we ate here.“

“It’s hard to mess up fried cheese curds, and the cheddar ranch is a 10/10 (it’s just ranch with little shreds of cheese in it). Nothing else I had was particularly good. The mac and cheese has a weird savory taste to it like they added chicken broth/something that doesn’t normally go in mac and cheese, and the burger is just a low-mid tier burger with good Tillamook cheese. The $10 “ice cream nachos” are fun and an affordable way to try several flavors if you can’t pick one! Expect to spend about $25 per person if you get both food and ice cream.“

“Visiting from out of state, the biscuits were mile high and hardy portions, fantastic flavor and service.“

“After countless attempts, false hope, and near-mythical sightings, we finally witnessed the impossible: PRONTO PUP WAS OPEN. The clouds parted. Angels sang. Seagulls froze mid-scream. The Pacific Ocean itself seemed to nod in approval.
Standing guard out front was a giant corn dog you can RIDE LIKE A HORSE, and because we are clearly well-adjusted adults, my husband and I mounted it immediately and rode it like feral children while cars drove past honking. Were they cheering? Who knows. But if you want the full Pronto Pup experience, dignity must be abandoned at the curb.
We then declared, that we would feast!!
The Original Pup reminded us why classics survive generations.
The Pepper Jack cheesy pup was melty, glorious, and dangerously addictive.
The Louisiana spicy sausage pup brought the heat and chose violence in the best way.
The Zucchini pup had absolutely NO business being that good and yet here we are.
And then came the Pickle Pup.
A jaw-dislocating, life-altering, GIANT PICKLE wrapped in glory. I literally could not get my mouth around it, and I have a big mouth. This pickle changed me.
As if that wasn’t enough, we also had a cup of chili, which somehow made everything better and felt like the warm, comforting hug we didn’t know we needed.
The only pup we didn’t try was the jalapeño pup, not because of fear, but because legends require sequels. This was a calculated decision. A promise.
The staff were friendly, fast, and clearly operating at elite corn-dog levels. Service was phenomenal, prices were solid, and in a shocking Oregon coast plot twist: the bathrooms were clean. Not “fine.” Not “acceptable.” Spotless. Heroic.
Come for the pups. Stay for the rideable corn dog, the phenomenal service, the spotless bathrooms, and the validation that yes, Pronto Pup is real and yes, you should absolutely act unhinged while you’re there.
We will return.
Jalapeño pup, your time is coming.“

“GREAT breakfast! I had the corned beef hash and my friend had the chicken fried steak breakfast burrito. Cranberry mimosas were the perfect top-off. Loved the outdoor patio. Will definitely return!“

“We've only gone here for breakfast, but we're gonna do lunch/dinner one day... soon™. This our favorite place for breakfast when we stay on the coast. Every item on the breakfast menu is amazing and the staff? They're friendly and want you to have a good time. Extra honey with your tea? You get it. Extra onions with your meal? You get it. It's a home meal away from home.“

“What a pleasant surprise! My family and I walked into this shop and were immediately greeted by Corrine, who was incredibly warm and patient, even with our large group of kids and all our questions. Her superior customer service alone is reason enough to return, but the treats blew us away. The dark chocolate and pistachio fudge were fresh and delicious, ice cream delightful and creamy, but the true standout was the white sea foam. It was hands down the best I've ever had—not too hard, not too soft, and with perfect white chocolate. It was so amazing, it might be the best thing I've eaten all year. I would love to know if you offer shipping; this treat is worth it. Seriously, please let me know if possible. 😆 Also, I notice the ice cream prices were better priced than the other shop next door. We also loved the souvenirs. My teenager and I bought matching pullovers. Overall, it was just a great shop and I'm just a satisfied customer! P.S: Go Damian Lillard/WSU!! 😊“

“My friend and I stopped at the Blue Agate Cafe looking for food and a bathroom and a place to sit. We visited during Phase 1 of re-opening from Covid19. We were hungry and grubby and not from the area. But, we were met with eyes smiling from behind a mask and immediately felt at ease. After our order was placed, I asked about using the restroom facilities. I was met at the back door with a squirt of hand sanitizer so, mask on, I took care of my needs and washed with soap and running water, for 20 seconds, twice. We were offered outdoor seating in a pretty little back courtyard sheltered from the wind and full of blooming flowers. The food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the house made veggie burger and, as a connoisseur of veggie burgers, this was easily one of the best I have ever had. The service was friendly and just made me feel easy and welcome. Lunch yesterday was a delightful culinary and social experience. I highly recommend this small eatery to anybody wishing to be treated as family in all the best ways. Thank you.“

“Amazing staff, was so sweet to my kids when we went in yesterday and let them ride on all the rides and the owner even gave both my kids a few extra coins to get a couple more rides in! Food was quick and hot and amazing and overall great experience!“

“Absolutely loved this spot! 🦪✨ The oysters were hands down the best I’ve ever had! The atmosphere is both fun and cozy, making it perfect for a relaxed meal 🍹😊. The staff were super friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. Every dish we tried was incredibly tasty 😋, and the drinks hit just the right note 🍸. We’re already excited to come back and explore more of the menu! Plus, the outdoor seating is a huge bonus, especially because it’s dog-friendly 🐶🌿. Highly recommend!“

“You love a local hole in the wall? Go here. The staff were wonderful. The fry was perfect. The clam chowder was creamy and light and delicious with fresh bread for the bowl. Dont let the appearance fool you. Absolutely worth your time.“

“Love this place! We go here every time we go to Rockaway Beach! ❤ Happy New Years!“

“Wonderful food, great social atmosphere, exceptional customer service, and all around a great time. If you haven’t been, it’s a must!“

“waitress was on point with our food drinks were great atmosphere like down home thank you Heather (bartender/waitress ) for the great food and hospitality beautiful view of the lake to?????“

“Went there for breakfast and had the breakfast burrito. I love breakfast burritos and hands down this was the best one I have ever tasted. Owners were amazing and welcoming and the food… I am tempted to do the 1.5 hour drive next weekend just to have it again.“
