28 Best American Restaurants near Gleneden Beach

“My wife and I recently shared the evening of our 29th Wedding anniversary at the Side Door. While we always enjoy our visits, this night was even more special. The ambiance at the Side Door is quite exceptional ; it always has been but, like everything here, it just keeps getting better. Warm, soft lighting, high ceiling with lazily turning ceiling fans, earth tone colors, fireplace with soft leather couches, good background jazz, and booths for those who wish them. The menu is probably the best on the Coast. While so many restaurants have downsized their menus, and failed to even adequately service them, Brook has maintained a sizable array of offerings that the kitchen unfailingly puts out in a consistent and timely fashion. I had the rack of lamb, which I've ordered four of the last six or seven times we've been in (not commonly offered otherwise, in our area). It was superb; it's a full rack served as four double chops, on a bed of vegetable risotto the like of which neither we've never found elsewhere. With the addition of grilled broccolini, the meal was complete, and absolutely wonderful. My wife's 16oz New York steak with grilled prawns was equally good (we exchanged portions). We had not tried the Coconut Creme Pie before (said to be Jeremy's favorite) but oh my god is it good. It's a must try. If you haven't been to the Side Door, you won't regret going. Price points for everyone.“

“They were very friendly! Wonderful service. The beyond burger was fabulous and piping hot. The fries were out of this world!! Thanks Kennedy and Celeste it was a pleasure meeting with you.“

“We stayed at the Salishan Resort in September 2024 for two nights and enjoyed several meals from the Attic. The food, presentation, and service were exceptional (salads, bowls, and breakfast were especially amazing and I loved the fresh ingredients). A special thank you to the hostess at the Attic – I believe her name is Anna (spelling?). She kept me company at the bar while I was waiting for a takeout dinner order, she has a sweet spirit and lovely energy. If possible, please pass on my gratitude to the chefs and Anna.“

“great veiw and great food!“

“The CUTEST most quaint restaurant. Lincoln City’s hidden gem. The food is delicious and fresh. Oooohhh and the bread with fresh strawberry jam 🤌🏼🤌🏼. I will definitely be telling anyone that is coming this way to stop to eat here.“

“Absolutely wonderful food, quick and friendly service, would highly recommend!“

“Small disappointment regarding their menu. Pouring a 6 oz beer in a brandy sniffer, when all of the other customers are getting 16 oz.
Makes no sense.
If you're going to serve small amounts of beer, please put in the menu!“

“Just had the Crab Eggs Benedict and seriously the best I've ever had!!! The tater tots were fantastic too. Extra crispy!! 5/5!“

“They have the best vegan food on the Oregon coast! I've been all over the coast and this is the best we've had. The vegan bacon is so good. We tried some loaded fries, a sandwich, and a wrap. I'm sure everything on the menu is great. It's located in a food truck court, probably the smallest trailer there! We went on thanksgiving because we were in a hotel, so it was super nice to get good food instead of taco bell since everything was closed while we were there.

“Wife and I had the Fish and Chips there and was the best we’ve had in years! And the staff was polite and very friendly! Enjoyed our experience there much appreciated!“

“This is one of our favorite places to eat on the coast because of the combination of good food and good view. You can get a good view from almost anywhere in the restaurant. This visit the food wasn’t quite as good as we remembered however. Also, we had two little kids and wanted a high chair and booster and they asked if a booth was okay which it was, but we didn’t understand it was a high booth so the baby also had to use a booster seat and is really too little for it so my husband had to kind of hold him in the whole time so a little more distracting from the meal than we would have liked. Otherwise it was great :)

Kid-friendliness: If you want a high chair and they mention a booth, be sure to specify if it’s a regular or high top booth.“

“My husband surprised me with dinner here on our anniversary celebration since we got married in Depoe Bay (we are from Seattle). We got a table with the scenic view of the water, and that was only the start of the great things amongst others! All of the offerings from the tasting menu were terrific but what really stood out was the pork belly served with coffee ice cream - it was so intriguing! I was pleasantly surprised how well this dish was executed. We might just make this our go-to restaurant each year for our anniversary. I look forward to trying other dishes.“

“Stu & I went to Tide Pool this weekend for some good bar food. We weren't disappointed! Fabulous burger & fries!!! And Megan. She was a wonderful host and made us feel so welcome. We are new in town and will back again...and again! Thanks for the great experience!“

“We had a great dinner, even with the kids in tow. The food was amazing, the server- James was very attentive and friendly. There was even live music playing, in the bar area. Easily overhead in the restaurant, which the kids loved. It provided a welcome ambiance and entertained the childern. Both kids actually ate super good, which when eating out says alot. Looking forward to our next visit.“

“Great preparation of ingredients, generous portions and very prompt, professional employees. (no offense intended to Lee's, but after discovering Foon Hing Yuen, I have found my go-to location for Chinese cuisine) Lunch specials have especially reasonable pricing. Now I know why it's so well loved from some of the oldest locals in and around LC!“
