I last visited 4 years ago in 2017 amd the food was great. This is my third visit, and i unfortunately im 2021 the food quality has gone down quite a bit. I got the clams and onion rings, my wife got the fish and chips (cod) which we both got in 2017. The fries were weird tasting, the onion rings and fish were soggy and greasy. The fried clams were just like the ones from Skippers, but kept a little too long in the fryer. The garlic toast was good, but the slaw was so-so. Kind or a let down on my anniversary. Maybe COVID caught up with Lil Sambo? It’s a nice family-friendly restaurant (no alcohol whatsoever served here, which is rare and nice). Good portions of food for a great value. They serve breakfast all day too. I’ll probably get breakfast next time.

Very friendly employees who welcomed us with a smile. I had the German pancake with the apple cinnamon topping. I ate it plain with powdered sugar and lemon. It was excellent! Only the faintest hint of nutmeg: not overpowering. I also had the regular pancakes. They had a pleasant buttery taste, crispy edges and so fluffy and tender inside. The home made syrup was also tasty. The store had really cute stuff as well. Will be back next time I’m in the area.

If you enjoy good food with a fun atmosphere and friendly staff this is the place for you!
I noticed some of the reviews weren’t so great but that wasn’t my experience at all.
For me the timing worked perfectly! I was able to order food, check out the fun gift shop/atmosphere and when I was done I had a very short wait for my food and it was delicious!!
I’m a major breakfast fan so I eat that almost everywhere but the bacon here is probably the best I’ve ever had (sorry mom ♀️)
I say check it out

Amazing food, priced right, large portions, outstanding taste!
Great service with friendly staff who don’t just do the bare minimum… our waitress today was really kind and always made sure we had what we needed.
Restaurant ambience:
The inside looks really awesome!
They have a really cool store/gift shop. There are so many things to look at/buy!
These items are all very versatile! Ranging from antiques, to hand made crafts, to souvenirs, and to the newest coolest trending items that kids flip for!
Can’t wait to come back and visit Lincoln city again so I can come back here and try something else from the menu! (And purchase another handmade treasure!)
The plan was to go to Pig N Pancake. Instead, I made a legal U-turn to come eat here instead.
So glad to have made that decision!
Come here and eat! This place is neat!

This place gets a 5 star, hands down, one of the most unique (And delicious) restaurants that we have ever been too. Pancakes were light, fluffy, and no syrup needed. Though, the syrup is homemade and therefore it makes the pancakes even more tasty. The staff was friendly, helpful, and made us feel right at home. There was enough food to feed an army (or so it felt like). We left satisfied and happy… and now I am the grandest tiger in all of the jungle.

This is a great place for breakfast, lunch, and dinner but it is one of only few places in Lincoln City that offers a large selection of breakfast dishes. It is great for kids especially with gift shop full of kid stuff. Portion sizes are large here as well so you will get your money’s worth.

Our breakfast this morning at Lil Sambo’s was AMAZING! I don’t think I’ve ever seen french toast so thick. My eggs Benedict was HUGE, and delicious and the service was wonderful. This is exactly the kind of vacation food we were looking for.

Forget the spot up the road! This is the best place in town for breakfast! It wasn’t crowded, the employees were incredibly friendly and attentive, and the food…..oh my, the food!
They don’t mess around! You want a meat lover’s omelet? The ham, bacon, and sausage is plump and juicy! You want stuffed French toast? Prepare to get STUFFED!
I could say a bunch more nice things and it still wouldn’t be enough!
A+ quality and service!
Get a picture with Bigfoot while you’re here! 😉

This used to be a family favorite restaurant. Over the years some things have got very expensive. When we went the other day, I ordered a half crab and veggies paid the market price of $24.99 for that plate – a bit ridiculous for being a restaurant on the coast. And then I ordered a Mac and cheese as a side for my kids to split, even though it was almost $5. Imagine my surprise when kraft Mac and cheese with extra cheese thrown on top came out! I paid $5 for a half box of Mac and cheese? We will not be going again. I walked away spending over $60 to feed 2 adults and 2 children. Even getting crab, it should not have cost so much.
