Downie's Café — Restaurant in Bay City

This was a true delight! We were visiting from Utah and were recommended this place by our Airbnb host. Quaint little corner place with amazing food. A little small but there were 8 of us and they were able to accommodate on a Friday morning with fast and friendly service. The food was outstanding. I got the eggs Benedict asked for my eggs poached well and they were perfect, the hash browns were perfectly browned- crispy but not too hard. My daughter got the chicken fried steak which came with seriously good homemade country gravy and fried cube steak. My daughter does not like eggs but I asked them to make them over hard for her and now my 12 year old is a believer in eggs and says I have to learn to make them like them. Honestly everyone got something different and me being 6 months pregnant, I tried all of it lol the Farmers omelet was so good, fluffy eggs with the perfect amount and flavor of fillings and country gravy on top. Pancakes, French toast. All seriously good. There is a giant homemade cinnamon roll that was everything you could hope for and more also! I just couldn’t say a negative thing about any of it. The service was incredible also, had two service leaders for our table. they were busy and still took time out to talk to us and give us all the good places in the area to visit as well as make sure we had everything we needed. So friendly and down to earth like we were all good friends. I will remember this place next time we come through and make sure I don’t miss it. If I could give this place more stars I would. 10/10 recommend.

I’ll stop babbling now lol thanks...

Stopped here yesterday as we were heading up the coast. So glad we waited for a table. The place is small and only open until 2:00pm. The staff is very friendly and inviting. We asked what the local favorites are, and boy was I happy with the answer. She said the chicken fried steak and cinnamon rolls are a big hit. Well, she had me at chicken fried steak. It was perfectly cooked how it is supposed to be, not a frozen hockey puck dropped in the deep fryer, but actually breaded and grilled on the flat top. It was absolutely delicious along with the hashbrowns and gray. The rest of the family tried other items including a light and fluffy strawberry pancake, once again fantastic tasting, a huge club sandwich and last but not least a hand breaded chicken sandwich that my very picky son tasted and stated "This is the best tasting chicken sandwich I had". He even liked it better that other nationwide famous chicken place. The fries were incredibly tasty as well. The chef is amazing, cranking out so much delicious food in such a small kitchen. We took a cinnamon roll home and had it this morning with our coffee, it was light and very tasty, wish we got two. Give this place a try, it is worth it, we will...

I wanted to try breakfast at this small cafe on my way back to Portland.

It was busy, and I sat at the small counter and was moved to a table a short time later.

I ordered two pancakes, two eggs, and two sausage patties after a long wait.

The menu offers omelets, French Toast, Ground Round Steak, and much more.

I received my order on two plates in about ten minutes with no problems.

The pancakes were huge with good taste and were fluffy.

The eggs and sausage patties were both good and not overcooked.

The cafe has a lunch menu with homemade pies and cinnamon rolls.

Located in Bay City on 5th Street, just off Hwy 101 and next to the mini-mart.

You might have a long wait for a table and cash is the only payment accepted.

A nice to stop for breakfast on the Oregon Coast with good food, friendly service, a menu with a number of options for breakfast and lunch with a homey...
