Ruben sandwich oh yeah!!! One of the best I’ve had anywhere. This is the kind of small town gem that is fun to discover.

This place is always amazing! We make the 40 minute drive from La Pine frequently because the food is always fresh and delicious. They always feature the best specials. Nearly everything is made in-house. I’ve never had a bad meal here.

The waitress/cook was more than happy to make me a patty melt even though it was not on the menu. Clam chowder, salad, wood chips (homemade, seasoned potato chips) and the patty melt were all delicious and served with a smile.

Both times I've eaten here, I got diarrhea hours later. It looks like hand washing is an issue at this location.

Ordered a large salad and was given that of less than a small. In addition asked for ketchup with burger orders and did not receive. The fries/chips had been soggy as

We stumbled on this when scanning Yelp for a place to stop on the way to Bend. Wow! I had the pastrami reuben and a bowl of the house steak chili. I could smell the chili when we walked in, so that was going to happen.The thing to realize is that this book doesn't fit its cover. This is not a roadside diner in a small town; this is an excellent gastropub worthy of a Michelin rating.Don't miss this one.

Brad is amazing!! We ordered the Reuben, wings, French dip, and clam chowder. Everything was made from scratch including the clam chowder (which was my personal highlight, aside from Brad himself). It’s so great to see something like this in rural Oregon. He is definitely doing it right! A must stop!! We’ll definitely be back!

Stopped in for a quick bite, had soup and chili, and then dessert of course, pumpkin cheesecake. It was all delicious, homemade from scratch, and I wish we could have eaten more!

Hands down some damn good food in central Oregon. Their fish and chip Fridays... you just can't get that crust on fish in many places. Delicious over and over again. Keep on cooking!

Stopped in after a day of hiking at Crater Lake. Sat at the bar and started chatting with a guy who turned out to be the owner. Top notch food, great service, and the owner really cares about the quality of food and creating a good experience for customers.Wanted to stop back in for lunch the next day but it wasn’t in the cards. I’ll be back next time I’m in the area. Hopefully soon.
