GREAT EATS & DRINKS Danelle Lochrie, one of the culinary masterminds behind wood-fired pizza restaurant Hearth & Table, offers the following spots to check out: Otis Cafe is home of legendary all-day breakfasts and baked goods, including the famous German potatoes. Located in the Lincoln City Outlets, breakfasts and lunches at Salt can’t be beat; linger to browse photography, furniture, hats and more. Kyllo’s has been a local favorite for more than 30 years, offering a laid-back dining experience with stunning ocean views and an outdoor deck. If there’s a wait, enjoy a stroll along the beach until your table is ready. The Rook & Larder food cart has a menu focused on local seafood and produce. Savor a juicy burger and a creamy milkshake at Hwy 101 Burger. TRIBAL HERITAGE & EVENTS Alfred “Bud” Lane III, vice chair of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, recommends visitors check out the full calendar of events — including concerts and exhibits — at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. For more local lore, stop by the North Lincoln County Historical Museum. The galleries showcase the cultural heritage, traditional practices and enduring presence of Native communities in the region, as well as how the area changed with European settlement. The Chinook Winds Casino Resort, owned and operated by the Siletz tribe, is a mustvisit destination for gaming and more. “I usually take friends and family to the casino for dinner or events like shows,” he says. “It’s near really beautiful areas like the beach and the Siletz River.” For natural beauty and to connect with the area’s tribal heritage, try Devils Lake and the Devils Lake State Recreation Area. Golfers can tee off at the tribeowned Chinook Winds Golf Resort, just a five-minute drive from the casino and part of the resort complex.
