   Our server was great. She was friendly and very attentive. Unfortunately, she did not get our order in before a 15 person group and we waited a pretty long time for food. All of our hashbrowns were very inconsistent with some very soft and mushy, while others very burnt and crispy. My sister's French Toast were served undercooked, very mushy in the middle and she had them sent back. The mimosas were overly sweet with no hint of champagne in them. I'd rather pay more than $5 for a good mimosa, than have a cheap mimosa taste like mango puree. I was pretty excited to come here as the reviews looked amazing prior to going. But this was not their day for good food.

   Tastebuds Bistro is a great cafe in Lincoln City. We went there for a late Sunday breakfast/lunch. They do take reservations, which is good since they can be busy at peak times. We were seated quickly, but with only two servers managing orders, bussing, etc., initial service was a bit slow. The food here is excellent and tastes homemade. The chicken-fried steak is very good--light, crispy coating and very tender steak. English muffins are homemade and so good. If you're in the area, this cafe is a solid stop.

   Great burger selection and fries and homemade potato chips. The servers did a fun beer sampling for us as well. Will go again. Nicely accessible through a door immediately next to the blue spot.

   Thanksgiving dinner was superb. Turkey, white and dark meat, dressing, mashed potatoes, yams, candied yams all covered in gravy, green beans, cranberry sauce, unlimited non alcoholic drinks, and finally pumpkin or apple pie. Great service and no prep or clean up. “Who cold ask for anything more”.

   Tastebuds is one of our favorites. They have great food and are super people. Thanksgiving was very nice. We enjoyed their take on the green bean casserole and the pumpkin pie, made from real pie pumpkins was soooo good.

   The food was great and plenty of it. I’ve been to this location a few times and the food and service are always the best. Love their chorizo gravy.

   Absolutely loved this place! Food was so delicious. Four different types of gravy for biscuits. Crab omelet was a real hit. Stuffed french toast got me stuffed with happiness. One member in our group had an allergy (pepper) and they were very careful and considerate to accommodate. We had three birthdays to celebrate and each got a cupcake and a song. Owners are super fun and really care about their guests. And it was such a good price! Wish we lived closer so we could go every week!!!

   Unfortunately our first visit here didn’t live up to the high ratings left on Google. The pancakes didn’t taste right, like they were missing an ingredient. My sausage was unusually salty. My menu item included three eggs. I got one scrambled and they were dry. When we we’re ready to leave, our server was no where to be found. After waiting 10 minutes we walked up to the counter and asked someone in the back to help us pay up. Maybe they were having a bad day with short staffing, but he place wasn’t busy. Don’t think we’ll be back.
