2. Pappy’s Greasy Spoon | Canby, Oregon
The #1 Authentic Breakfast House in Oregon is Pappy's Greasy Spoon. Everything Pappy's serves is made in-house and is served hot with the kind of healthy portions you expect at a real breakfast house. There are so many reasons to love Pappy’s Greasy Spoon that we had to reduce them down to our top 10 reasons why they deserve the title of the #1 best breakfast house in Oregon (in no particular order).
- Scratch Biscuits
- House-made Sausage Gravy
- Hand-Cut Baby Reds Homestyle Taters & Country Skillets
- Sausage Patty with Grilled Onions & Green Peppers
- Thick Ham Sliced Directly Off the Shank
- Fresh Local Oregon Marionberry Syrup
- Corned Beef for Reubens

3. Dean's Homestyle Cafe | Clackamas, Oregon
Dean's makes our pick for #1 Homestyle Menu. Dean's makes the list for many reasons, but the unanimous favorite is their mix-and-match homestyle breakfast menu. Don't you hate it when the menu at chain restaurants make you choose between items? At Dean's Homestyle Cafe you don't have to choose between bacon and eggs or hash browns and french toast, because they're all included. Dean's stands out among breakfast houses in Oregon because the Homestyle Breakfast lets you mix and match as you please so you always get your choices, your way.
More Info & Directions:
Be sure to put your name on the list when you get there; sometimes there is a line out the door even when the wait is only 10-15 minutes. You might want to bring a jacket just in case you get a booth by the door—you're going to thank me later. They also have some fun décor and mugs with nearly every name. If you're drinking coffee, they just might have a mug with your name on it!
TIP: If you're looking for a truly authentic breakfast house experience, look for places that don't make you "add a side" of bacon or hash browns. If it's not included in one of the meal options, they better be doing something special, like our next #1 spot.
4. Off the Waffle | Eugene, Oregon
The #1 Waffle House in Oregon is Off The Waffle. These waffles found in Eugene are so amazing they will blow your mind—and their disco ball bathroom is pretty epic! Off the Waffle earns its name and a place on our list because of their amazing waffle flavor combinations. From savory to sweet, everything is handcrafted with love and made with fresh locally sourced ingredients. Though they do not offer many of the traditional homestyle breakfast options, their selection of premium ingredients give you the flavor you want combined with a relatively healthy breakfast option compared to others on this list. Here are a few of the strong points about Off the Waffle:
- Vermont Maple Syrup (AMAZING)
- Fresh Organic Strawberries
- VERY Thick Bacon Sides (Premium Nitrate/Nitrite-Free)
- Havarti Cheese, yes please!

Mattie’s is an amazing breakfast house right on the edge of Brookings and is our top pick for Breakfast on the southern coast. True to its name, Mattie’s features some incredible pancakes.

12. Beckie’s Cafe | Prospect, OR
The #1 hidden breakfast spot in Oregon is Beckie's. Beckie’s is a place that you’ll never find if you don’t know where to look. It’ll never appear online if you don’t search for breakfast around Crater Lake (or, more specifically, if you search for breakfast in Union Creek or Prospect, but why would you ever do that?) and if you’re tunnel-visioned while you’re driving up highway 62 you’ll zoom right past it. But if you’re taking your time and you want an authentic Oregon homestyle meal, there’s no better place than Beckie’s. And the pies – oh, the pies are just molto bene.
