The Snaffle Bit Dinner House

Fantastic food! Great service! We found them by accident just driving through and am very pleased we did!

Spade burger was delicious and filling and well priced!

Was well worth the visit

Fantastic place to go out to eat and even better food!

food was good and the portions are big 💜
friendly staff and very welcoming.
it was nice to see how when a customer walked in they knew who they were. such a small town that everyone knows everyone.
It was weird seeing alot of Trump stuff everywhere but that's just their thing I guess.
I highly recommend to try this restaurant out.
The owner and cook is such a lovely lady

Great food, although it's a bit pricey. $100+ with tip to have dinner and drinks for two.

Love this placed and there staff!!! So many dems giving bad reviews come on grow up... 🙄 or move back to a state that supports your crazy 🤪 lol sorry had to say it i get so sick of seening rude comment just because of political sides it's about the food people

Bet food I have ever had

What an exquisite and charming find! Who would have thought you could find a true FIVE STAR restaurant in “No Man’s Land” between John Day and Canyon City! Brenda, the owner is an amazing restaurateur. Top notch all the way. You will not be disappointed with your visit to The Snaffle Bit Dinner House!

Excellent food. One best tenderloins I’ve had. Great environment and wonderful people!

Food was great service was great , but the only disappointment for me was the political opinion push and my broken sauce with my Tenderloin! Met and talked with the owner who is the only galley Chef and Sous Chef. Flavors where outstanding and her abilities to run that kitchen by herself is by far the most impressive performance by any Chef or owner I have come across in a very long time!!! Outstanding! Thank you! I can't wait to return! She's selling bye the way!

We had the privilege of being in John Day, Oregon during this summer's wildfire season. A fine server from another establishment in town recommended The Snaffle Bit Dinner House and boy-are we glad she did and that we went to try it out for ourselves. It was fantastic, all five within our party were well fed and more than satisfied with quality, value, variety, and flavor. Brenda is amazing! She cooked up some of the best food I have ever eaten, and being the old boomer that I am, I have been to three continents and all of the major so-called food capitals on the globec(NYC, Paris, Rome, Tokyo, Seoul, and son on) but here I was in John Day, Oregon and talk about serendipity! Our meal was so good, that we decided to go back the following night and have a run at it one more time. Consistent quality, once again-Brenda is in a class all by herself. Her waitstaff was equally fantastic (props to Rowdy and to Megan!), attentive, friendly, courteous, and helpful. Special thanks to Étoile for recommending this gem, you live up to your name!

I wish there was more then 5 stars...This place is incredible, the food, the atmosphere and the service are all beyond the 5 star ranking. Go there, don't hesitate. I have know about this restaurant for more than 15 years and finally made time to go. What a treat.
