Great local place. Excellent service. Excellent coffe. Excellent food, from maple bars and cinnamon rolls to omelets and sandwiches. (And more!) (The onion rings are worth cheating your diet with.). Beware though: the full biscuits and gravy can feed a family. -smile-
Arnie's was so good! My husband is very particular about his sausage gravy. He said this was some of the best sausage gravy he has had, even better than what he makes! The homemade corned beef hash was very flavorful with the peppers and onions mixed in with potatoes. Very generous portions. The service was friendly and efficient. I love the diner vibe of the restaurant. The place was very busy. Looks like a favorite spot for the locals too.
Such an incredible discovery of arguably one of the finest cafe's on the Oregon coast. If you're in Warrenton and need breakfast or Brunch just go to Arnie's Cafe. Great food, served quickly, by attentive wait staff. I felt right at home like I was in my own kitchen. The keilbasa scrambled eggs with hash browns and English muffins I ordered reminded me of Ketch Joanne's in Half Moon Bay, California. Another find. Loved the ambiance. Loved the coffee and loved Arnie's. A 5 star recommendation.
Looks like another building in an industrial area but inside is the classic diner like experience with a pastry/coffee counter and a bar to sit at and watch the food cone up in the window. Its a great atmosphere and the food was amazing. Their hashbrows were so crispy - they were a bit oily though but they totally the foundation for a great meal. Biscuits and gravy were solid. Id pass on the chicken fried steal though as it was pretty tough and there were sp many other good things on the menu.
Stopped in on a whim. The server was very nice, and quick to serve us. It's a busy little place but very clean and inviting. The breakfast was very yummy. We got the breakfast sandwich, hashbrowns, and the corned beef hash! If in town again we'll definitely stop by!
Always an excellent stop. Usually we do breakfast, but this go around I tried lunch since we were nearly there at noon. The Riley sandwich was very good, and although covered in jalapeños, it wasn't screaming hot. Just great flavor with a pinch of heat. I opted for onion rings as a side and they were very good as well. The place is always clean and the staff are super friendly and welcoming.
Super popular breakfast spot in downtown Warrenton. It's spic and span clean and bright and accommodating, and the staff is dialed. The place works like a well-oiled machine, turning over rushhour tables fast, taking orders fast, keeping your coffee cup filled, and getting food out fast. This is standard American breakfast fare. Eggs and hashbrowns. Chicken fried steak. House-made corned beef hash. Pancakes and waffles. Eggs Benedict. A signature series of biscuits and sausage gravy. All well-prepared. All of that said (I'm speaking of the weekends when I tend to go out for breakfast), the place is packed and waits can be really long. That's why I gave 4 rather than 5 stars. In this regard, I suppose they're a victim of their own success. Last time I was there (a Sunday) there were 10 parties ahead of us, and a 45 minute wait. While that might not seem unusual in Portland during Sunday brunch, it's a long wait for the North Coast. The food is good, but it's not something particularly exceptional that I'd want to stand in line for. There are breakfast places nearby (I live in Astoria) without a wait that have food every bit as good. That being the case, it's hard to justify waiting so long for a table.
First visit last weekend for breakfast to-go. The restaurant is small and cute, with ample parking between the lot and street. Although pretty busy with the weekend breakfast crowd, service was friendly and the order ready fairly fast. We had a couple of egg plates and everything was tasty. I would say that although my hash browns were cooked well and nicely crunchy, I ended up stealing my hubby's breakfast potatoes (so good...yum). The sourdough with mine wasn't my fav, so I stole his English muffin too. :) Regardless of the breakfast thievery, it was a good meal. We would definitely stop by again.
