Dutch Mill Diner

Fantastic food, cute 50’s decoration, Great friendly fast service and loved the music. Very clean too! Highly recommended!

Best diner food I’ve ever had! I had he horseshoe which is an open face burger and fries smothered in a Gorgonzola sauce! Delicious!!!

The diner burger is what I mostly get here. It’s awesome including their fries. It’s the best. Burger buns do tend to get a little moist after a few minutes upon serving. Great environment too.

Great food great service. I had the diner burger and the patty was juicy and the veggies were fresh and sliced thin. Only comment that I would leave it that Tillamook cheese should have been used. The décor is great, very authentic to the 50s theme that they are going for. A great experience.

Upon checking into our room we were advised to go to this diner for dinner. Very disappointed! They close at 7 and I understand that but we walked in at 6:30 greeted with an extremely cold shoulder. The staff was more interested in cleaning up and closing than taking care of customers. We left after being told that several things weren’t available. Believe me when I say never again go there or refer it to our friends!

They did a great job of the remodeling. It has that total 50’s vibe down to the red vinyl booths, luncheon counter and black and white check floor. There coffee was strong enough to take the enamel off your teeth and burger was hand done with just a tad bit of pink left in the middle! I lived it!

This is a BRAND NEW DINER! Fifties-​style. Décor is amazing and food was so yummy. You gotta try it!

Cute small town café with quick, friendly service and an impressive menu. I recommend the teriyaki burger.

I am visiting from CA and decided to give this place a try despite so bad reviews. Service is hometown friendly and so was restaurant. Food is good not bad at all. I would say give it a chance. We got pancake, French toast and cream of wheat.

We had breakfast there and the waitress was very friendly. She kept our coffees full and was very personable. The food came out quickly. It was predictable ‘greasy spoon’ diner food and the coffee was kind of crappy, but it was cheap and a good way to start the day.

This place would make the perfect setting for a slasher film. I actually feel kinda lucky I made it out in one piece. Gravy tasted just like paste. Mmmmmmmm, paste.

Like the other reviewer (Joanna Y.) said this is a classic greasy spoon but without the flavor. I read the other reviews and I am simply amazed this place can get a 4 or 5 star. I went there with my family and we ordered a Reuban, Pattymelt and I had the gravy with hashbrowns and it really did taste like mothballs. The two sandwiches were as bland and flavorless as could be with a very high grease content. My wife tasted the gravy and told me, «…you have to stop eating that, there is seriously something wrong with it…» She was thinking it was either bad or had chemicals in it. I stopped eating it.
When we went there it was right at noon, and you would expect the place to be crowded or at the very least have a couple customers… we were the only customers for the whole lunch hour. This makes me wonder, did we go there when the «bad» cook was there and only we as out of towners didn’t realize it???
Edit, we also had the «grandma» cook… is that the link?

I read the few other reviews written before mine and second-​guessed if I was even reviewing the same place. Food was very much greasy spoon fare — but lacked all that makes eating greasy junk food worth it; flavor. It just didn’t taste all that good going in my mouth. All I really tasted was grease, honestly.
Everything was a little off. Coffee tasted chalky and like mothballs. Fries tasted like they were once in a freezer for, who knows how long, then baked, put back in the fridge, then reheated. Grilled cheese was quite good in comparison, generous amount of cheese, but still the grease prevailed. (Yeah, I know a grilled cheese sandwich is inherently greasy, but come on, there is a limit to everything.)
I did appreciate the local charm. Friendly young waitress with really bad teeth. Behind the front café area, there is a back room, (classic «lounge»), where you will find the old men with oxygen tanks (really) enjoying some crappy movie on tv and starting their drinking early.
Our cook could have been my grandmother, so I really did want to like it more because it was truly just so darn cute
But I STILL have the taste of a greasy pan in my mouth hours later.

Cute little diner in the middle of town, complete with locals in the back chatting and drinking coffee. Good cheap diner food. Don’t go in expecting anything more than wholesome greasy spoon fare and you’re good to go.
Huge crispy pancake for my son, bigger than his head. A ham and cheese omelet with actually noticeable chunks of ham and cheese. Tasty fresh hash browns. Doesn’t get much better as far as diner food goes. Décor leaves something wanting, but really this isn’t the kind of place you go on a date, it’s where you go for a hearty filling meal.

Based on the reviews here we ventured to have a later lunch here before heading home. The chicken fried steak caught my eye as it is my favorite diner food, and i pretty much base my like or dislike of the place based on this dish.
The place was empty but it was late and we got in just as they were closing. It had that good diner vibe, it was worn, and loved and i had a good feeling.
The server was friendly, and the meal was huuuuge. as you can see, i was starving and I couldn’t not eat it while it was piping hot and had to take a break to take a picture.
so we had chicken fried steak breakfast and the rueben with fries. Excellent diner fries and hash browns. The eggs were perfect over medium and the steak was a top the gravy to show off it’s gorgeous crispy fry. (best idea ever by the way, it helps if you don’t like the gravy as well, which i did). The country gravy was milky and thick the hashbrowns crispy and well cooked, the steak was awwwwesome. so flavorful, it stood out on it’s own with out having to have the gravy. now that’s a chicken fried steak. The rueben was meh, ok, good flavor but who ever said it’s better than K&Z is maybe taking crazy pills. but all in a all it was excellent. FYI — there are no sweets at this place, i was excited at jasons whole marionberry pie thing, but the server said the closest thing to pie they had was ice cream. not close at all. pie less we drove home.

Lunch in Tillamook. I checked Unilocal to see what people suggested, and this diner came up. Only two reviews, but both 5 stars. Ok, so I’ll give it a try…
And it did not disappoint. Typical diner fare, sure, but top quality. As in, I would actually seek out eating here if it was closer (not the case for most diners in Portland) We stopped in for lunch on our way into Oceanside, and then again for breakfast on our way back to Portland. Try the hashbrowns!

We were on our way through Tillamook and needed some grub, and picked this place because we liked the sign. no joke. We were the only people in there, except for the lounge in the back, which normally worries me, but in reality, I had nothing to fear. Standard diner fare, but everything was really fantastic. We’ll definitely be stopping in again if we pass through!

tillamook cannot be accused of having too many restaurants. when i lived in the area, i frequented this cool old diner whenever possible. i usually don’t eat much pie, but it’s hard to resist when the marionberries are in season.
