19 Best American Restaurants in Newport

“Well I can say as an Executive Chef this little diner impressed me incredibly. great food but above all the entire experience was mind blowing. Amy has a way about her that makes you feel welcome and with all the political stand points of people coming in with individual views on life's she has a way of bringing food and love to a place that all can agree. I loved my 1st experience here and will return. than you Amy for your hospitality and a meal this Chef will forever remember. much love Che Kimmie“

“Newport on a Tuesday night. We drove to five restaurants before finding Zach’s Bistro. Although He was sold out of almost everything, we were able to get the most amazing dinner ever! Even my five-year-old grandson loved the food. I had the fish cakes, with artichoke and dill. Oh my goodness! It was amazing. My daughter had perfectly cooked salmon dinner. Desert was an awesome chocolate, berry and browned marshmallow. I am so happy we stumbled on this fine dining restaurant on the edge of Nye Beach area in Newport Oregon!“

“If you are looking for the best menu in Newport, be sure to visit The Anchor. Pleasent atmosphere, friendly, personable people and great local menu. Service was quick, and our entrées were delicious. Plating and portions were perfect. This is a family-owned organization with the best dining in Newport.“

“Last Saturday, while on the Oregon coast, Kim and I stopped in at Pacific Kitchen at Nye Beach for a spot of lunch. Pacific Kitchen is well located on the beach and quite attractive. The interior is nice and welcoming. We opted to sit on the patio, as the day was quite nice also. We weren’t extremely hungry, so we opted for light meals, referred to as ‘bites’ on their menu. Kim ordered the calamari. It was well cooked, tender, tasty, and an adequate portion. Their red Aioli sauce is quite nice, and quite flavorful without being overpowering. We both enjoyed the calamari. I made the mistake of ordering the Dungeness crab cake with greens and red aioli sauce. It is described as being served with “greens and red aioli”. I suppose, technically, that is true. Let me tell you about my sixteen-dollar crab cake. When my plate was brought to me, I kinda felt sorry for the poor little critter laying there all by itself with three tiny, tiny leaves of something green under a Panko breaded patty slightly smaller than a York Peppermint Patty and about the same thickness. I THINK it tasted good. The serving was so small that it’s hard to tell for sure. I cut it into thirds and had three tiny mouthfuls. There were no lumps of crab in it, only shreds, and the total serving, by my wife’s estimation, was about 2 tablespoons of crab mix. It worked out to five dollars a bite (not counting the 3 tiny greens and the 1 ounce serving of aïoli). Returning to Bend, a quick trip to Costco revealed that they were selling 1 pound packages of Dungeness crab meat for twenty-nine dollars. That works out to about a dollar and ½ an ounce. I’d be very surprised if there was an ounce of crab meat in my Patty that I paid sixteen dollars for. I was more than a little offended and felt very ripped off. I mean, couldn’t they have thrown a tomato or a little dab of cottage cheese or an onion ring or a French fry onto the plate for their sixteen-dollar price? When they called it a bite, they were definitely not kidding. I would’ve walked away quite hungry (as well as quite irritated!) had not Kim offered to share her calamari with me. IF we ever return there, I will definitely not order crab cakes. I’m just grateful that I didn’t order the thirty-two-dollar meal that had two of these crabcakes on it. I would’ve been twice as pissed.“

“Their beer is delicious. The staff was friendly but seemed a bit shorthanded. Sat at the bar and had a few beers. Ordered appetizers and they were pretty good. This isn’t a hotel as far as I know - it’s a taproom and casual restaurant (bar food) for Rogue Brewing.“

“Food, view and service outstanding but their remodel is stunning. The workmanship is a dream. Worth seeing.“

“Great place, great atmosphere, fantastic food. Highly recommend ?.“

“I absolutely love this place! I am always checking to see what the special is because it’s usually amazing!! And the cream sodas are sooo good. So grateful to work right next door, because it’s my favorite lunch spot in town.“

“Try the bacon cheeseburger. It is awesome! Really good service.“

“Off the hook has the BEST clam chowder In Newport the food is reasonably priced and large menu, something for everybody plus a full bar great beer selection as well as wine and great cocktails! Definitely recommend you give this place a try you will not regret it !!“

“Beer is good, but they only filled my growler half way. When i told them it’s not full they just gave me a refund of half. I’m so confused.

They responded and said they would fix it. If we ever are back in the area we will stop by to see. Thanks.“

“Of note, this Mo's does not do fried food and doesn't have the standard Mo's dishes. That said if you want more seafood options and a more seasonal menu, this is the place to go. Watching people unloading and cleaning fish and oysters just outside the window is definitely a plus

Vegetarian options: It's all seafood, so plenty of pescatarian food, but no vegetarian food“

“The real deal. It’s easy to agree that MO’s has world famous clam chowder. It is so good. The fish and chips was some of the best I’ve had as well. Just right. Service was fast and friendly. Made it a destination to visit while in Newport, OR and you should too.“

“Chef and waitress went above and beyond to meet dietary restrictions. Exceeded expectations with fresh, flavorful and nourishing whole-food plant-based food. Thank you!“

“Always a great experience. Wait staff are fantastic and great food!“

“Quick growler fill. Have ate here in the past, but not today. Staff friendly. Always changing trying to maximize the usage of the space they have between production and the restaurant. Fun to go in and see the process regardless of eating there or not.“

“What a great brewery and good food too. I highly recommend the oyster shooter. I have stopped in several times while on the coast and every visit has been great. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The beer is always fresh and delicious.“

“Great Chowder. Best Halibut and Chips I’ve found yet!!“

“A great buffet, lots of salad choices, 3 chickens, 6 pizzas choices, fruits, pastas and friendly people work there. Great view of the ocean and plenty of parking. 2 different visits lunch and dinner so telling friends and going back. Prices are good.“
