Wow! So much better than we expected from its name! At 6 pm 8/16/2016 we were served good sized portions of very tasty, well prepared and plated food. When we stepped in the door, we were dubious, because its decor was modern casual chic and I had two 15 year old hungry boys to feed. However, most tables were full and it spelled good, so we sat down. They serve locally sourced, scratch made food and everything we ate was delicious. One teen who ate breakfast (served all day) said the bacon was "excellent!" The other teen ate a chicken club, which he really, really liked." Both ordered tater tots, which they said were really good and really crispy." I ate a half beet salad and a half grilled zuchini, portobello and cheese sandwich on in house made sourdouh. Both were exceptional! The boys topped dinner off with in house made chocolate cream pie that had a very nice, creamy texture and a lovely deep chocolate flavor. You know the food is good, when the teens say we have to go back!

Greeted by friendly staff at the door and a friendly waitress taking orders. She recommended the burger which was excellent. Cooked perfectly, great tasting burger with avocado, bacon and cheese and a side of hand-cut fries. Reminded me of my moms home-made fries. The buns are made fresh daily and you can taste the love they put in their food. A great atmosphere in a very open space complimented with fresh ingredients and genuine care makes this "diner" a great place to eat. Prices were higher than a diner, but the quality supports the price making this a good value. Back again for the white bean pork chilli and the Cobb salad. The chilli was excellent with a deep smoky pork flavor served with a side of wonderful toast and just the right amount of heat. The Cobb salad was also wonderful with very flavorful grilled chicken, lots of bacon, and a fantastically rich blue cheese. If you like very flavorful blue cheese, this will not disappoint. This place is better every time I go.

I Dont dislike it but First time my girlfriend and I went the experience went well. food was okay service was friendly . Soups are always a little warm though thats a downer. But for our 3rd time we went I was very dissapointed my beer was less than a 12 oz when I asked for a 16. And I noticed the male server was sweating real bad and he kept wiping his forehead with his hands. Not knowing if he washed his hands or not left me an unsanitary thought. I got an Alfredo with shrimp . portion of carrots and broccoli were poor . My girlfriend got the biscuits and gravy. We thought they were both okay . But soon as we got home we got a disgusted and upset feeling in our stomachs. Eventually we both threw up basically our whole meal. Hopefully next time is better.

A wonderful, upscale diner, not a greasy spoon. The food was fresh, homemade and tasted fabulous! I had the French Toast which is served with fresh peach and bananas slices along with real butter and real maple syrup. The hubby had classic eggs benedict, which was mild, creamy and delicious! He loves his eggs benedict and he said they are some of the best he had ever had! We will definitely be stopping here again the next time we are in Oregon!

Nice little diner! We came into the diner 10 minutes before closing for dessert and drinks. The server, Jenny R. was so friendly even after being on shift for 12 hours already. I asked for a suggestion and Jenny suggested the chocolate creme pie. She explained, it was the owners grandmothers recipe, so I tried it. I was glad I did because it was the BEST chocolate creme pie Ive ever had! Thank you Jenny for the great experience!!!

While I would never want to rush a restaurant, the label "quick bite" was misleading. Since there was no to-go case (turned out to be a sit down restaurant), I ordered a soup after being told that it was already prepared. Turns out, it took them 15+ minutes to get the soup. Its too bad for the misunderstanding, but the worst of it was just that the staff was not very helpful :(

Had a wonderful breakfast here. The chicken fried steak is great and the gravy is the best! The uncured bacon is delicious. Great coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice topped off the meal just right! They have local and organic items and offer some healthier options too. Our favorite breakfast spot in Oregon, so far. Maybe well get to try lunch or dinner here sometime.

Tried for the first time, but we were disappointed. White bean chill fair but served just warm. Fries over cooked served too salty. Both the pulled pork, and Ruben both were too salty & greasy. Service excellent, clean restaurant. $20 for two 1/2 sandwiches, two chilies, side of fries, no beverageeheard the breakfast is good may try that if we go back

I have been here a couple of times. Sometimes they get busy and I have had to wait for quite a while. Other times, even when busy, I have been in and out of there! Their customer service is great - very polite! Great food, Fair prices. Great for a small gathering or lunch meet up (can get noisy due to being small and busy). I recommend for anyone!

Great little place. Food was excellent. Service was quick and friendly. The place was clean and hip northwest without feeling overly hipster. Locals like us were comfortable there Prices werent bad. The breakfast sausage in my omelette was possibly the best Ive ever had. Really good experience. Well be back for sure.

I came in hangry. Then the server brought crayons and other games that brought the kids out of their funk. The Reuben she recommended was the best Reuben Ive ever had. They cure the corned beef in house. The bread and cheese were local, as was the ketchup for my tots. My wifes shrimp linguine alfredo was amazing as well.

Stopped in for lunch just after 11am when they open. The young gentleman who served us, was a bit awkward at greeting and communicating, but was nice enough to get us sat down and take our orders. The food was excellent! The Reuben sandwich is superb, as is the pulled pork... Best in the valley dare I say?

I went here with my family for breakfast and we all had a pleasant time. The food was good and the service was as well. Nothing really stood out but I sense talent in the kitchen and I will return again. Everything was homemade from sauces to breads, local meats etc means this has a lot of potential.

We have enjoyed many tasty meals here. My husband likes the spaghetti & Ive tried several different things. I especially enjoy the pulled pork. Wonderful bread & cookies too. Being close to the hospital its convenient for getting away for a bit when needing to stay close to your loved one.

amazingly delicious food made fresh from scratch, from old-school sandwiches and burgers to an amazing array of seasonal specials that rival local fine dining establishments. truly some of the best eats anywhere. definitely our favorite for breakfast -- best anywhere, and available all day.

Mediocre food for twice the price. Update: was convinced to try it again and spent $12 at the farmers market for a burger that consisted of beef, cheese, and bread. Thats all. No sauce. No veggies. So I was wrong. I overrated them by giving them one star.
