Fern Restaurant & Lounge

This place is garbage. Over-​priced, unfriendly staff and subpar cafeteria food. I ordered the wings and go these over sized, over cooked, bland wings whose breading fell off when picked up. A whole plate of left over wing breading, cool. The waitress was a grump who could care less about everything except her next cigarette. I get wings every place I go and this place will stand as the worst place I’ve ever had wings. Fk this dump, i would highly recommend people please save yourself some time and avoid this hole, good god whatta joke!

Even a little town diner should have more than decent food for a good price… The Fern doesn’t have any of it! We walked in thinking we would support a ma & pa operation while on vacation and waited 5 minutes before a leaving customer noticed we we’d been ignored by the staff waiting to be seated. There was no sign telling us to either seat ourselves or wait to be seated.

Very friendly wait staff. I had the Bacon Blue Burger with Sweet Potato Tots… tasty. I wore my coat the whole time because it was down right cold in there, but overall it was a good family dining experience.

This place was not great.
One star service. When we walked in, no one was at the hostess station. We stood there for about a minute or two until I peeked around the corner, and found someone chatting in the kitchen. Additionally, I think it is pretty much basic serving to make sure that your guests continue to have water throughout their meal. About halfway through my sandwich I was thirsty, and I never was given a refill. Upon completion of your meal, you pay at the register.
One star ambiance. I didn’t love the plastic tablecloths, old carpet, and poorly painted walls. The menus were paper in a plastic cover, but nonetheless, they managed to be discolored and stained. The bathrooms needed to be cleaned pretty badly, and they were about one step up from a campground restroom. There was a surprisingly extensive arcade in their back party room, and there was also a bar past the dining room. Keno was availably for your entertainment pleasure.
Three star burger. I had the Fern Wastern Burger, which was topped with BBQ sauce and an onion ring. They gave a lot of (fried) options for sides — french fries, waffle fries, sweet potato fries, and tater tots. I had the waffle fries, and my meal was actually pretty good. My fiancé had a bowl of the chili, and that was very lackluster. I also took a peek at the salad bar, and it was ok I guess.
I would recommend not coming here, but I’m not sure about the other options in the area.

Ugh… I had a lot of debate in my head over this being a 2 Star or a 1 Star. I have decided to give this place 2 stars, but only because the burgers and fries were good. Other than that, everything about this place sucked. Crappy service, crappy food, crappy atmosphere. I would NEVER come back here unless it was my dying grandmother’s final wish. Do NOT come here for any reason, it is garbage.
TL;DR: Please don’t come.

The best Breakfast in town, served all day!!! Love their thick cut smoked bacon! Staff is friendly. Their pizzas are also good along with the clubhouse sandwich and fries! This is where the locals come! If you are from the city please stay away. This is a small town and all good things take time!!!

The food wasn’t seasoned and my biscuit was cold. It also took over an hour to get our food but the place wasn’t full. The party that sat down before us was already leaving before we even got our food. In one word: UNDERWHELMED. I would not recommend this place.

The food was nothing to write home about. The pepperoni pizza omelet was the special; my husband tried it, won’t be having that again. Chicken fried steak was OK but my hash browns were very greasy. The service was terrible, you shouldn’t have to ask for more coffee twice. The only good thing I can say is we didn’t get charged for our drinks. Free coffee and Mt Dew.

Microwaved clam chowder, paper plates, & heavy pizza. Bland food & drab décor. Would not go there again!

Food was okay but the service was lousy. One item was late and we got double charged for it. Check was fixed but with much unnecessary drama.

Great food, excellent service! We got a steak, burger and a pizza and all were good and the clam chowder is the best

It is fair for what you pay for. I was impressed by the service and liked the atmosphere

The new owners (as of October) have done a wonderful job with the place. We went in on a busy Sunday afternoon and they were slammed! Even with how busy they were, the service was timely and friendly. The salad bar was small but everything was extremely fresh. The gluten free pizza was delicious and the burgers, juicy and flavorful. The employees were buzzing around but still took the time to check in on their patrons. The homemade desserts were delicious and definitely worth saving room for. All in all it’s great to have another option for good food in Tillamook.

I give the fern four stars because It’s a very nice place to have breakfast and Lunch. Is a very nice size. Also They have a little arcade for the kids. The service was really can’t speak fast and we were out in a short period of time. And we were plentiful. There was only one little problem Me and my friends had a steady but it had a lot of fat on it. Also The pizza it isn’t the best in the town So is not exactly the best place to go to eat pizza better to eat breakfast.

I had the patty melt and the sweet potato fries. For the love of G-​d, do not pass up the sweet potato fries… they are to die for! The patty melt was beefy, cheesy and satisfying. I had ice tea with lemon to drink…$ 9.25 for dinner seemed reasonable.
You won’t be impressed by the appearnace of tbis restaurant. The décor inside and out is nothing to write home about, but it has a warm friendly feeling. There were a lot of families there, so it seems like a popular place with the locals. My waitress was friendly and efficient.
This is not a fast food restaurant, so there was a bit of a wait, but nothing unreasonable. Good simple food… burgers, sandwiches, chowder, salad bar, pizza.

The only thing worse than the service is the food. I’ve had better food at truck stops! A run-​down, seedy disaster — run away!

The vibe was great! Lost of old folks talking about their hayday.
Run down looking but it’s a sad little town.
The German sausage was kielbasa, not German sausage so –1 star.
The waitress was great. The coffee was great. The old folks were great.
The décor was sadly great.
The couple nearby with their screaming kid wasn’t great, but can’t legally kick kids or their retarded parents.

Flippin’ horrible.
Needs a remodel like the world needs to get rid of Heidi Montag.
Food was mediocre.
Service was non-​existent.
The waitress knocked my straw out of my drink, getting soda on me. Her reaction was, «Your straw is on the floor.»
Really? I watched you kung fu my straw and then you blame me?
And you won’t even give me another?
Poo on you!

Just south of the cheese factory, this is your basic diner food done pretty well. I stopped here with a bunch of friends after camping — we were tired and starving and their breakfast options (served until 2 p.m., says the menu) definitely hit the spot. Most of us got omelets which were huge, with huge amounts of hash browns, and huge amounts of satiating power.
Service was nice, artwork on wall was full of majestic logging scenes. Go check it out!

This place is no frills dining to be sure, but the food was pretty good. We had breakfast here one morning, and everything was pretty decent. The staff was pleasant, the food was pretty quick, and the portions were large. You won’t leave this place feeling hungry. The building ain’t much to look at, but that isn’t much of a turn-​off for me. It’s not a dive by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s no 5-​star restaurant either. If you’re looking for a comfortable place to stop in for breakfast, I’d recommend it.
