The inside sure is different from the outside. Its very nice atmosphere. They were out of steak and prime rib and halibut which is why we went there. But service was good.

Well it’s Friday evening it’s time to stop for dinner on the way home. This place was the best stop and this time they just ruin our evening. I’ve been looking forward for a great and best stake we always ordered here in the past after hard week. This food changed so much and I’m not going back ever again. Just so everyone aware steaks weren’t fresh. Meat color was dull pink and meat it looked like it’s been frozen. The rest of the dinner was ok.

A legendary The Dalles restaurant that’s better than ever! Lily and Romul Grivov and their team are doing an outstanding job. Steaks and burgers, pastas and razor clams, chicken and eggplant Parmesan—everything is excellent. Complimentary ice cream at the end is a sweet touch. The bar pours generously, with consistently great wines by the glass. A longtime locals’ favorite and a go-to for celebrations, it’s also fun to see folks from all over the Gorge discovering the Hi-Way House.

unpretentious dining experience rooted in authenticity and local history. There’s no sense of forced nostalgia —just honest food, warm service, and a deep respect for the community it serves. Feels like you belong - and the portions are generous! Menu is dynamic. Bar program is also impressive.

WOW! My wife & I were blown away by this phenomenal find located just off highway 30 in The Dalles. We had hoped the cuisine would be on par with the decor in this classy but comfortable retro-vibe restaurant the is reminiscent of cool joints from a bygone era. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and the quality of the food surpassed all of our expectations. The next surprise was our server Mary Ann who may actually be an advanced AI by the way she recited 6 or more appetizer specials and at least that many dinner specials; yes, count them: 6 specials each! The precision and articulation were superhuman and a sight to behold. Raving about a super-fresh salad dotted with strawberry & blueberries, parmesan cheese and real-chunky blue cheese dressing may sound like a reach, but wow, when you taste FARM FRESH you then realize how you've been missing out. The crown jewel of tonight's dinner, however, was the perfectly prepared generous razor clams, lightly fried and BURSTING with coastal flavor. My gaaad those were AMAZING. I had the mash and my wife had the baked potato side. HUGE fresh cherries and delicious green beans adorned and rounded out the entree. Craft Beer and stunning Italian Sav Blanc with generous pours capped the evening. The Hi-Way house, its cuisine, decor and service easily earned 10 stars. What are you waiting for?

First time here and very impressed. It was busy but we got seated rather quickly. They had a live violinist and he played songs I actually recognized. The atmosphere was on the romantic side and the staff was attentive. The food was really good as I had the Parmesan cod and my husband the salmon. The drinks were strong like we like it. Although we were stuffed they surprisingly gave us complimentary peppermint ice cream and small glass of prosecco. Will definitely be back again to try the steaks.
The Pork Chops were excellent. The sauce was the best. Service was very good.

Great food and service. The fish and chips were very fresh and among the best I've had.

LOVED IT!!! Luis was the absolute BEST! We are here clearing up my deceased fathers estate and we were all physically and emotionally exhausted. We came in and we were instantly welcomed with a wonderfully cozy table, given drinks and made to feel right at home. We were treated to a fantastic meal and exceptional service from start to finish. We will 100% be going back before we leave and we envy everyone that lives here and gets to enjoy the Hi-Way house regularly. An extra special thank you to Luis, you were so wonderful at raising my sister and my spirits, thank yous will never be enough for the gratitude we feel for you making us laugh and enjoy ourselves for what had been the first time in weeks. You are a true treasure!

Amazing food! The clam chowder is a must-have! There were so many delicious options we had a tough time deciding. Eggplant parmesan and prime rib won with no regrets. I can't wait to visit again!
