Nice little diner if you’re in the area. We got there about 1/2 hr before they closed but they were kind enough to let us stay almost 45 min past and we weren’t the only or even the last table to come in. They even took a large group 10 min after flipping the open sign. The burgers are all smash burgers and were a little dry. The fries and the fry sauce was good. We even got some coffee on the house. The owner Terry was quite friendly, is a car collector and usually has one of his cars out front. This day, it was a beautiful trans am. Check them out if you are in Tillamook

First off, this is more if a diner than a cafe. Interior is nicely decorated and the staff is friendly. The Cadillac burger was really good. The only thing I would chance is the fry sauce, which felt a little bland to me. Otherwise this is a great place to eat and I would definitely eat here again and try one of the other great burgers they offer.

Had the chili burger enough to share. The peanut butter milkshake was delicious.

Possibly the most welcoming reasturant owner I've met, the shot of espresso milkshake really was worth the hype he gave me, definitely worth dining here because I know I'm coming back for that milkshake

A big WOW! Don't let the name (Dutch Mill Cafe) fool you. This is a fantastic 50's dinner. The decor is authentic and extensive. More than just plaques and tins on a wall. And, all dusted and clean. You can tell that they care for their items and take pride in sharing with their customers. The food was amazing as well. All burgers were cooked to perfection and served steamy hot. Great homemade sauce. Shakes were a big treat with a nice variety. It was the best service we have had on our 7 day trip. Genuinely friendly and not because they had to but because it is in their nature. Bathrooms were clean.

I ordered the fish and chips and a dinner salad. My food was hot and fresh, the fish was fried to a crispy golden brown. The fish was served with crinkle fries. The salad was fresh and cold. They also make real ice cream shakes that look delicious! The atmosphere is like a fifties Cafe. You order up front at the counter as you walk in, then have a seat anywhere and enjoy listening to fifties rock while you eat.

We need more places like this! Lots of fun stuff to look at and the food was good. Service even better! We came in before closing and they served us with a smile the whole time. Place is clean and is best on the block!

Best burger on the Oregon coast. Great selection of burgers, sandwiches, fries, onion rings, milkshakes and more. You won't go away hungry or grumpy unless you're a fool.
