This is a cute little spot in town. Very homie and very much a home cooked meal. The service was great, very friendly. We hit this spot before taking off to the Strawberry wilderness for a hike, I highly recommend. read more

My husband and I popped in here a couple times and each time left very happy. Coming from Boise to hike in the mountains, I was very hungry by the time we reached Prairie City and thankfully we found this little place. Our second visit was coming out of the mountains and we wanted a quick bite before driving the 3 and a half hours home. The restaurant itself is super tiny, even with the new rearrangements to comply with COVID19 social distancing orders. But it creates a kind of a homey feeling you only get in small rural town restaurants so it actually amplified the entire experience. There seems to be outdoor seating with would deliver a great view of the mountains on a clear sunny day. The food was great! We both have sensitive stomachs and the food didn't make either of us feel wonky at all. My hash browns were browned perfectly. The hot cakes were delicious as well especially covered in blueberry syrup. We left with a cinnamon roll that we took backpacking with us. It made an awesome dessert after a long day exploring! The second time in we ordered the same thing but also took home a slice of cherry that tasted like heaven with each bite! Awesome experience, I would definitely return next time I'm in Prairie City. read more

Great breakfast food highly recommended if you are in town the chicken fried steak is great as well as the biscuits and gravy

Best breakfast spot ever! Delicious food and friendly service. We had a hard time choosing a pie so the waitress gave us a taste of all 3. All were terrific, but definitely liked apple the best. She also gave us spots to check out on the way to the painted hills that were great tips. Everything you are looking for in a small town diner is right here! read more

Best place in town, food is always great, service is fast. Great little dinner. Must visit

After camping overnight in Ochoco, we were starving for a real breakfast on our way to Strawberry Mountain. Chuck's is an adorable small town spot offering great breakfast and lunch options. As expected of a small town outside the city, the residents didn't seem to give much care to masking during the pandemic. This was a bit of a red flag but we kept our distance while waiting for a table during their busy time. After being sat, our masked server approached to take our order. We were masked with sanitizer on the table, clearly being careful about the experience and she greeted us by asking "Do you mind if I take my mask off to take your order?" ... UM YES?! Of course we do lady. That's pretty obvious and also why are you even asking us this ridiculous question? After awkwardly saying we did, she proceeded to take the order as normal but we were flabbergasted. The cook time for our food was quite long but it was all delicious. We'll definitely be back but maybe not for a while given the obvious lack of seriousness with which servers seem to be taking contact. Food was great, parking was easy, wait was minimal. To the owner, please coach your staff on ways they can reduce the spread of Covid-19 by wearing their masks during a 30 second order exchange. Their safety should be a priority. read more

Excellent breakfast with huge biscuits. Coffee good as well. While in the diner I heard people recommend the Hotel Prairie as well. Wish I'd stayed here rather than in John Day. read more

Great little hidden gem in the mountains of Eastern Oregon. We truly enjoyed ourselves with the people who were extremely friendly and the food was excellent. I had the biscuits and gravy and my wife had the pancakes with sausage. Yummy food! read more

A great place for a early morning meal. I had the biscuits and gravy..yummy. My wife had bacon & eggs ! She loved her meal as well.

Great lunch spot ! Everything fresh. Fantastic BLT and veggie sandwich. Friendly service. Full of locals.

My husband and I split a club house sandwich and it was pretty good. We didn't care for the cheese that they used in the sandwich but all of the other ingredients put together is was fresh and good. We also ordered a cup of clam chowder each. The clam chowder was super think and mediocre. read more

We had heard that Chuck's LIttle Diner opened at 6 a.m, and as we were leaving early, we went there a little before 7:00. Already there were about ten local diners in there, all chatting away and greeting the newcomers arriving from the neighborhood. The food was delicious, and lots of it. I admired all of the old-time pictures on the wall, of which someone had taken care to preserve. The staff was friendly, and we enjoyed the local people. This is really a charming town! Give Chuck's a try! read more

Amazing little slice of hometown Oregon, in this wonderful restaurant, owned by Valaria. We loved our breakfast, and felt very welcomed! The food is wonderful, and could tell it's a very popular place with all the locals! We had eight for breakfast, but it was one of the highlights of our trip! read more

Good food, reasonably priced and efficient service. The locals seem to love the place which is always a good sign. Great place for breakfast or lunch. I want to come back for one of the cinnamon rolls. They looked amazing! read more

Passing through Prairie City at lunch time. What a great little place. Lots of locals and the place was crowded. But the 1 server handled all orders with a smile even though she was non stop busy. Food was excellent. My veggie sandwich (sautéed) served on the best sesame seed bread I've ever tasted. The onion rings are a must. I think there is cornmeal in the batter so they have a wonderful crunch! Don't miss this place. read more

This is by far one of my favorite places in the area. The owners are great and I've never had a problem with the service. I saw that one person gave bad review. I was shocked because I've never had this problem. We all have bad days. I'm a local and go there often. Service is great! Keep in mind that you're going to wait a bit longer if it's crowded. My only wish is that I could get breakfast all day!! read more

Chuck's is a great little restaurant with a small Town friendly feel. Great food ( make sure and try the biscuits they are the best ) good place to meet the local color . Don't pass up if you're going through Prairie city and are hungry. read more

This place is delightful. The food is wonderful. The service is wonderful. If you go in the morning for breakfast there's usually a crowd of locals there which seems like a good sign to me. I've been twice and both times I enjoyed the whole experience immensely. So far, I know they make a great steak dip and onion rings, and a great chicken fried steak with country gravy. read more

Love this place! Our family of 5 ate here both mornings during our stay at Hotel Prairie. Some of the same locals were there both mornings and the waitress was always welcoming. There is no kids menu but there is plenty for kids on the regular menu. The pancakes are huge and made from sourdough - so light and fluffy! My husband and I split a delicious veggie and bacon omelet one morning. The homemade biscuits were also wonderful. The only thing I would change is stronger coffee (espresso even?) and real half and half, not the powdered stuff. Otherwise this place is a wonderful piece of eastern oregon not to be missed as you pass through Prairie City. read more

This cozy spot, with the original lunch counter from the early 1900s, is right out of a Norman Rockwell painting. We had a great country breakfast and the owners were very welcoming. read more

Best breakfast in Prairie City! Waitress was super friendly and the food was served within 5 minutes of ordering! Worth the trip to Prairie City. read more

Chuck's Little Diner - Ordered the "Basic Breakfast". Yum! - Diners Near Me - Prairie City, Oregon

Horrible place!!! Doesn't even deserve one star. The food may be OK, don't know because it's been 35 minutes since we ordered and we haven't seen anything, but the service and the server's attitude stinks. Asked for a drink when we first ordered our meal but after 35 minutes still haven't received it. Bottom line-no matter how "cute" the place is or how good the food is, the server and the service is atrocious. Stay away. There are plenty of other places to eat in Prairie City. read more

Sign me up- I'm in! This little gem has both indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoor seating is on a nice deck covered by a light parachute, so it's shaded. The food is wonderful. The fluffy (mile-high) buttermilk biscuits my friend had were fabulous. The omelets are perfectly cooked, with the right amount of cheeses and stuffing. The hash browns are actually browned (gasp!). The menu even says that they don't serve "hash whites"- I thought I was the only person who used that term. I live about 2 hours from Chuck's, and eat there every time I go camping up in the Strawberry Mtns. The service is great and the place is clean and tidy. Good job, Chuck's! read more

We stopped in for breakfast while traveling through eastern Oregon, and their food is excellent. The waitress even asked each of us how we liked our bacon cooked (which came out perfectly for each of us)! Great standard breakfast fare - hash browns, eggs, bacon, and homemade flaky biscuits. There's also a cute outdoor patio. read more
