Maxwell’s At the Coast-Restaurant & Lounge

I love the look of the restaurant and our food was satisfying. Service was okay but I could hear the server complaining about more tables coming in or something (this was around noon), well we’ll just say don’t go here for the service, go here because the place is convenient and not too expensive for good food. The attitude in there just made us a little uncomfortable.

I had breakfast here a few weeks ago. Basic greasy bar breakfast. I thought the price was right.

KJ is rude and for a big book the selections are limited. Staff are friendly but allow people to smoke immediately in front of the door by the restrooms and allow patrons to cuss out people who ask them to close the door.

I was here in April and wrote a poor review of the karaōke set-​up. After visiting again in August, my opinion has changed. The Karaōke DJ («Pearlesque») did a great job of handling a big crowd with lots of singers. People got their turns rapidly and therefore lots of people got to sing. The last guy took a ton of breaks and sang a lot. Not so the case with this gal. Much improved!

Surprised at how delicious the special was. My English friend said it was the best fish and chips he has had inAmerica since coming 13 years ago. The service was excellent and they were accommodating for gluten-​free.

Staff in the bar wasn’t very friendly, despite the ‘no pissy attitude’ sign hanging on the wall. Food wasn’t great either.

This was the highlight of my visit! The drink called «gorilla’s ass» was served in a giant carafe. It was delicious. The fish and chips that I ordered was amazing and the portions could feed two people. Seriously… I’m overweight and can put down food but I couldn’t even finish half my meal. The chocolate cream pie was the BEST I’ve ever had. If you want a fresh greasy spoon with giant portions and good ambiance, go here! I forgot to mention the wait staff was sassy and hilarious. We are having a family reunion n Lincoln City and all 20+ of us are coming back!

Never disapointed for breakfast or lunch. Older, rustic décor. Reasonable prices for a lot of food! Looks like a fun place fo hangout for drinks, full bar, big screen.

Actually much better than we expected. Great drinks and very good fish and chips. The fettuccine alfredo is basic and doesn’t have a lot of chicken but is good and cheesy.

Walking into this bar was a mistake. The bartender had a horrible attitude and was very unprofessional. She was too busy hitting on a customer to provide good service. The place was dead. Will not go back.

Walked in and was greeted by surley, grunting bartender. We asked several questions to which each was answered with a grunt and «We’re packed». and «you should go down the road». We left promptly and found a lovely place down the road to spend our money. Non-​existent customer service!

My wife & daughter love the chowder here. It’s not bad, but it’s not great either. It looks like they have recently done some remodeling which is good. It is a little bit of a dive, but the updates have helped that.
I will say that the service has always been friendly & on top of it. This is a OK spot to stop at.

Lots and lots of space. Fairly divey. Dark. Cheap. Friendly enough. Covered smoking section out back. Nothing special but not many things are in this town.

Good place to pop in to watch a football game or get a crazy strong cheap drink. This place is frequented by locals and tourists alike. They have a great happy hour that goes til 7. The foods pretty questionable but not terrible. My favorite item being the 12 tacos for 4.95. Yes… they are small tacos but they do give you 12 of them. The fried items are very fried. If you are on a diet this is the wrong place for you.
The bar does have a fireplace, boasts of nightly karaōke, and has plenty of other «bar» related items to keep someone entertained.
The service was quick and reliable when we were there and everyone was very friendly. Worth it for cheap drinks while watching a game.

Really, really average. Would not have eaten here if not for the lack of options at 10 pm. Caesar salad drenched in packaged dressing and «calamari» was deep overfried chunks of indistinguishable flesh. Found a rubber band in my salad and was not offered so much as an apology. Service was quick though, so if you’re looking for a quick sit down meal that is a half-​step above fast food, look no further.

For the available options in Lincoln City, this place isn’t bad. The place definitely has a «Lincoln City» feel…
What the food lacks in quality, more than makes up for in quantity. The portion sizes are huge. For what it is, the food is decent… just don’t go in looking for a healthy meal.
Waitress was nice — service was prompt.

I would give this more of a 3 ½ if they had it. I have been in the bar area several times for karaōke. Perlesque is an amazing KJ. She has an enormous song list for both karaōke and dancing and really know how to keep the party going. The bar is huge and can get pretty packed but the bartenders really kick some serious tookus and keep the drinks flowing. The bummer is that this place always seems to attract some pretty brazen unsavories who clearly needed a mamma to teach them some manners.
I’ve eaten in the restaurant for both breakfast and dinner. Dinner food and service was ok, but breakfast? This guy was like Sybil… one minute a complete jackass and the next he was polite and attentive. The breakfast, however was pretty darn good.

Where to start? The waiter was friendly but had obviously been drinking. He wore a dirty shirt and kept rubbing his face. The carpet was very dirty and stained and the restaurant generaly could stand to be cleaned.
The food was also a huge let down. My wife had the razor clams, They were tough, flavorless, and soaked in butter.
I am a huge Chicken Fried Steak fanatic and was exstatic to see the big sign on the side of the building proclaiming «FAMOUS CHICKEN FRIED STEAK». Talk about being underwhelmed. It was burnt tasting, the gravy was obviously from a packet. The mixed corn and carrots that were with both our meals were obviously canned.
My daughter had the only possitive experience. asside from part of her bacon cheese burger being burned, she liked it.
To sum it up, we paid 50 bucks for a sub par meal. we won’t be going back.

The very fact I started coughing when I walked in wasn’t a good sign. The server was polite and attentive, but it appears that they haven’t cleaned and deodorized since the «no smoking» law went into effect years ago.
For those sensitive to residual smoke, forget about eating here.
They did have a wide variety of food available. The burgers looked good, as did the fried seafood.
I honestly didn’t stay long enough to order, for I started coughing. The server was polite and understanding.
Also, another spot that is open late.

If you’re ever staying in Lincoln City and need great food anytime of the day and/​or night, head to Maxwell’s!
