Coastal league restaurant and bar — Restaurant in Lincoln City

I’m going to include information from the couple of weeks they were open before as “Allies”.

When they first opened as Allies, their menu was on point. It has since shifted to 70% Mexican, 30% generic American. The previous menu made sense, this one less so. At least to me.

Today I stopped in for the first time since they reopened and their menu changed. I will preface will the fact that I did not have my glasses with me and so reading was not at its best.

I didn’t see anything on the lunch menu that wasn’t just basic fair. So I just defaulted to the bar menu and ordered Taquitos. Now, with this dish it’s important to have your glasses because they fill them with 98%cream cheese and 2% pickled jalapeño bits. Mine was plunked into a deep bowl?!? And then a smaller dish was plunked into that which contained my “salsa” and sour cream all mingled together. Eating a deep fried corn tube filled with cream cheese is difficult after a couple of bites. It’s rich, and well tasted basically like a large amount of cream cheese.

I’m not really sure who wants to eat 4 of those, or even more than maybe half of one. It was nasty.

The only hot sauce available is Tobasco! Because that makes sense when your menu is 85% Mexican. Because so many Mexicans enjoy tobasco. *so much sarcasm

Anyhow, not going back. Which sucks, because this was our only community spot. I was so excited about their first incarnation.

Hopefully they can compete with the 6 other Mexican eateries in our tiny tourist town.

I’ll caution that the German place in that odd location before them died. They died because their food sucked at first opening and the location is not convenient or obvious. You are having the same issues right now. I really hope you can pivot. I want you...

I visited when this place was briefly known as “Allies at the Coast.” There were a lot of troubling rumors and disturbing posts online, particularly from one of the owners. Still, trying to support a local business, I decided to give it a chance—hoping the reality would be different than what I had read.

Unfortunately, my visit only confirmed those concerns. That same owner, known for the online behavior, was at the venue—this time openly screaming at a young woman who was clearly a customer, not a staff member. It mirrored exactly what former employees had publicly spoken out about. The woman looked like she was on the verge of tears, and whatever was happening, there was no excuse for treating anyone that way.

It’s no surprise the business shut down and reopened under a new name. The experience left a terrible impression, and I won’t...

Very inviting, we were exhausted after a very long stressful car ride and the staff was so welcoming it felt like showing up at your long lost friends house. Hospitality thru the roof. Kid friendly but actually kid friendly, everyone was so kind and engaging to our toddler who really needed to get some energy out. Great bar selections and food was exactly what we ordered and quick ticket time. Thank you for the change of pace of how our evening was going! Chicken Noodle
