Of course, many like to gamble, but don't overlook the award winning buffet. It is fantastic! It is about 10 miles/10 minutes from the house; west on Hwy. 18. If you are headed to Lincoln City/the coast, the Casino will be on your way.

This is a thai food truck in McMinnville that I stalk. Hahaha! The chicken rama (I have to double check that I am spelling that right) is a peanut chicken and broccoli dish that I think rocks. This is about 15 miles/15 minutes from the house.

Small town vibe; great pizza; five minutes away in the quaint logging town of Willamina. I also consider Willamina to be a town of artists as they host an Art Tour every year and have amazing shops filled with local artists' wares.

Delicious! I love the speciality waffles, including the chicken and waffles. I have a southern friend and even she thinks they rock. Babica Hen is located about 30 miles/30 minutes from the house past McMinnville (headed east).

I am giving away my age with this post, but I am telling you, if you want good simple food at prices at affordable prices (I always feel like I am back in the 90s) and cheap drinks, the American Legion is the place to go. It is OPEN TO THE PUBLIC and not just Veterans. The prime rib on Friday nights is the best prime rib I have ever had. This is located about 15 minutes east from the house.

THE CLEARWATER CAFE at Newport Historic Bayfront is absolutely delicious and has a great view of the Newport Bridge and Bay. My husband loves the Surf and Turf there and I love the red curry seafood chowder. Newport is about an hour plus from the house, past Lincoln City.

Restaurant located in the heart of Lincoln City, and right next to D River State park (which is located right on the beach). The view is amazing. Surprisingly, the fish and chips are not good at all there, unless they advertise local fresh fish are being used, but the clam chowder is amazing. If you like calamari, it is very good there too.

I am adding this to the sightseeing portion and the food portions of my guidebook as pretty much any restaurant you choose on Third Street in Mac (as some locals call it) is going to be good. And there are many quaint shops to explore in McMinnville's national award winning downtown. Mac is only 15 minutes from the house.
