We had lunch over Mother's Day weekend. My kids and husband had hamburgers that they all thought were great. My husband thought it was the best hamburger he had had in awhile. I had the chowder, salad, and garlic toast. All were delish. We wanted to try the homemade desserts but were too full from our meal. Maybe next time!

Dory Cove has been our favorite seafood place on the Oregon coast for years and years! Whenever we have a chance we like to head to Lincoln City for delicous chowder, fish and chips, and the most amazing shrimp salads ever!

I previously reviewed this restaurant when times were economically better but now Dory Cove has seem to have fallen on hard times. The prices were always more than what they should be for this area, especially with all the fresh fish and crab available. In a community where everyone knows each other, they should be doing much better pricewize with... More

Lunch with another couple, each had different plate and it was great. Good flavor,not overlooked, and plenty to eat. We had good service and water was good. Some places have poor water but here was good and constantly filled. One minor problem is getting out of parking lot due to heavy traffic. This didn't affect the quality of the place.

I realize the time are tough, however market price all over your menu, in a small hole in the wall dive like restaurant is no good. We stopped in for lunch and decided to just have chowder because the sandwiches were between $10-12 dollars each. That would be a club sandwich for 11.95!! WOW!! Not a good value. Before the... More

Not good at all. We had several items - bad chowder - bad everything. Just not worth the trip when you can go so many other places. The parking lot seems to be full - but wow - we will not go there again and won't take anyone.

Like all restaurants serving clam chowder on the Oregon Coast, Dory Cove claims the Best on the Coast. It's not. Thick as flour paste and bland tasting, it ranks closer to the worst.

We had breakfast at Dory Cove and it was great. They have many choices and the service and food get high rating. I'm sure there are cheaper breakfasts in L.C., but we came away happy.
