Yep! That’s us! We are just downright proud of our good homecooked food. You have got to come and try our good food – we do know how to cook a good breakfast. We are definitely not a fast-food restaurant: we take so much pride in the way our food is prepared! We make our own hashbrowns and home-fried potatoes from the real thing – none of that frozen stuff for us. In fact, we steer way clear of frozen product and we go for the basics. We make all of our own breads, biscuits, and muffins, pies, gravy, desserts–we even bread our own Chicken Fried Steak–just like down on the Missouri farm I spent so much time on when I was a kid. I use the words “Home made” a lot, because I figure I have a right to. I spend more time at Fishtails than I do at the place where I sleep–and so does my family! If you want the best breakfast in Newport Oregon, come to Fishtails Cafe and you will get it.

Fishtails Cafe opened its doors in April, 2000 with a staff of three and a dream–serve good food and make lots of money doing it. Well, it has been thirteen years now and we do serve good food but…we have learned that you don’t get rich doing it–what you get is a whole pot load of satisfaction making people happy with food. Despite our calorie-conscious world, let’s face it, food is happiness. Come try our Marionberry French Toast and you will be convinced. Our fresh homemade bread, sliced and stuffed with a slightly sweetened cream cheese mixture then dipped in egg and cream and grilled–topped with our home made Marionberry Sauce and homemade whipped cream.

We have a picture on the wall in the kitchen that says “Home sweet Home.” The picture is of a house with a green lawn. We don’t have a green lawn–we have a parking lot–but we do have lots of planters with flowers that bloom in the spring and all summer long. Come by and have a homemade breakfast with us sometime – you won’t be disappointed. We can’t wait to see you!
