The sheriff deputy we saw along our drive through Doris recommended this place to my dad. We found Michelle to be very helpful and informative. The sign outside says "Last Stop Cafe," on maps it's "Cinders Cafe," but it's been known as "Warden Cafe." We have little dogs that also needed a break and there is a dog park right near that has a large dog and small dog enclosures next to the gas station. The Western Burger we got was very tasty. They have fresh cut curly fries and we also got fish and chips. We originally got it to go and they packed it with all the fixings but ended up staying to eat. The bathrooms were clean and they have a very spacious bar area with lottery machines. read more

Great food and even better service. Love this place . Our drinks never got below half. I'm very impressed.

They have elk dish which was pretty impressive. However the elk meat needs to be cooked differently than as a patty steak. It's tougher than beef and has a mild kick of gamy flavor. Maybe a stew is better? read more

We stopped because the kiddos needed to use the restroom and couldn't wait. The young lady that was working was very kind and gracious because there was about 8 of use that had to go. I got an order of fries and they were good. I wanted to try a burger, fries, and a shake but we were in a mission. If I come back this way again I will have to sample the Cuisine. The bar attached in the back has some slot machines if you want to stop and try your luck. The machines where busy even on a weekday in the early evening. read more

As we drove back towards California we stumbled across Cinders. We made a quick stop for a Bite. We opted for the Cajun fries and wings. Not listed on the menu but never hurts to ask... we love lemon pepper wings. Luckily they had the season so they obliged our request and we were grateful. The fries were a huge order and the wings satisfying. They also had some slot games and a claw game for the kids which I must admit we tried to win a stuffed animal but no luck read more

I ordered a swiss mushroom burger and asked that the bun be toasted. I also asked for a coke cola drink with very light ice. I got a soggy bun that wasn't toasted along with soggy fries.... couldn't really call them fries. And my drink was over half filled with ice. What gives? Was I asking too much? read more

This little place in the thriving metropolis of Worden is a gem of a find. The food is excellent and the service was fantastic. This little restaurant even managed to make a Skipper's order taste good. If you're on Hwy 97 between Dorris and Klamath Falls and find yourself wanting some great food; don't hesitate to stop in. read more

Driving south on 97 we stopped for breakfast. It was a very pleasant experience. I stepped out my usual breakfast pattern and had biscuits and gravy and it was great. My wife had a more conventional eggs dish which she also enjoyed. The staff were very friendly and efficient. We've recommended it to our kids who live in Bend. It seems to be very popular with the people who live in the area. read more

Five star. Sure doesn't look like much from the outside but that doesn't matter. Great food. Great service. Real thick bacon cooked to order and generously served. A friendly place and an acre of parking. read more

Nice place to stop for good food while on Hwy 97 in the Klamath Falls area. Staff is very friendly and a fun atmosphere.

this was the first time I ever ate here, I've driven by a whole bunch of times and never really noticed it. I am a truck driver I stopped at the gas station to get a drink and smell the steak cooking. I ordered the New York steak waitress forgot my A1 sauce, but remembered it when she got me a refill for my drink. The steak was unbelievably tender I cut it with my fork and did not need the A1 sauce after all, one of the best steaks I've had in a really long time. read more

Actually a great diner, especially for the deserted stretch just north of the state line. Had a very good pastrami sandwich with fries, and dropped more money than I should have in the slot machine room. Owner was almost too friendly, very interested in making sure I had the best possible lunch. Will be back. read more

This was a definitely a little oasis with good food, and good diner feel. After a long 5 days camping all over Oregon, and before an even longer drive back home... we needed substantial grub for the journey and hoped it would taste better than the quick stops. Low and behold, the service was prompt, kind and the food came out as ordered! Those are definitely bonus points right off the bat for a roadside diner. Then, the coffee was always full and hot... plus the menu was diverse and delicious! Boyfriend at the Bison Breakfast special and I got the breakfast sandwich with sausage. Food was good! Not just oh, good for a diner. Actually good. Meat cooked well, cheese and eggs tasted home cooked, and the pancake was perfectly cooked. We enjoyed half, got full(what?), and ate it on the ride home. And it was still delicious. There were 4 women running this place at the time... cooking and waiting tables. They seemed to know the customers too. *The gas station nearby makes for a great picture. **my boyfriend even won a stuffed animal.out of the claw machine.... first try! That thing must be rigged ;) Definitely an inviting cute place that you should stop by if you get the chance! read more

Food was good, service...not so much! When they say kitchen closes at nine...they mean...you need to be gone by nine. No exceptions. I guess a place that is more worried about goin home for the night than taking care of their paying customers. With plenty of other people in the place, I can't believe they make you eat fast and run. After a long day that's the last place you wanna stop. Keep going to the next town where you'll be more welcome. I was shocked when there were only 2 other trucks parked in a big empty lot. Now I understand. read more

the food was amazing, really good customer service, and really well kept on the inside! totally recommend

Who knew that I could get fresh hand cut curly fries at this place... I didn't even know that there was a place who still wheeled the instrument to make these delectable beauties! They were crisp, yet soft in the middle with the deliciousness of that fresh potato that made me render the days of being a kid at the Dairy Bar from my home town in Kansas that no longer exists. I rounded out my meal with a big juicy patty melt that was cooked to perfection with a scrumptious char on it! This place was a burger and fries paradise ! My husband says, and I quote " the corn-beef hash was perfectly grilled and crumbly and had a savory combo of spicy and pickling, with tiny strips of potatoes mixed in. The from scratch biscuit was huge yet light and airy! And to top it off the real deal home fries was expertly crafted by someone who knew the right two step process in how to make them correctly. Sliced fresh potatoes that were soft boiled and grilled to perfection with onion and bell pepper made the perfect picture of cooked all the way thru yet Caramelized on the outside ; however, not overly cooked into blackened crunchy cinder chips. read more

I had been here a few times before,enjoyed it and decided to bring my wife to lunch. We had the pastrami burger and volcano burger with curly fries and tots. Both were very good and filling. The server was friendly as well as the clientele. If you want a hearty truck stop/ diner experience ... this is the place read more

The fish burger was perfect, as was the coffee mocha. Best of all, the waitstaff was helpful and friendly. Note that this place is in Worden, but Worden doesn't have its own ZIP code, so the post office classifies it as Klamath Falls. read more

What an oasis!! On the lonely drive along ng highway 97, this is really a lovely spot to stop for a meal! The decor is fresh and cowboy chic. The food was great! I ordered their chicken fried steak with truly homemade sausage gravy and biscuits. It was the best! I highly recommend thr Cinder Cafe! read more

The first time we ate Here a week ago lunch was delicious. I had a tasty elk burgee with a fresh salad. My friend had their fettuccine Alfredo which she loved. So today we decided to take the family there. What a horrible mistake. Granted the place was busy serving Saturday lunch we waited almost two hours between getting our orders taking and receiving our burgers. Some of the burgers were so charcoaled I had to cut the buttoms off for the children to be able to eat them. All the other burgers were cold with dried Out buns. The French fries were not even warm enough to be edible. The cottage cheese was sour. And last but not least most of our salads were wilted brown and soggy. I am still in shock at how atrocious our meal was. This is definitely the worst review I have ever written and I hope it the last I have to ever write like this. read more

Food was great. House made Cole slaw was flavorful. Stopped on my way to Redding, I will stop in again.

This place is excellent. Great service with the exception of yesterday. Yesterday's waitress was so rude, but she's just 1and I've never seen her before so she may not be there when i return. The food is delicious and the service is usually excellent. I go the often. 1of my favorite places to eat. read more

After a drive down to Mount Shasta to take some pictures we decided to stop here for a sandwich,I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with fries and wife had a sandwich and soup,When our food arrived my cheeseburger was loaded with hot peppers.Didnt want to wait for remake so ate part of it and left. read more

This is a truck stop diner so we came here not having high expectations. Upon entering the diner the first thing I noticed was the odor. It smelled of old dirty carpet and like it hadn't been aired out in over 10 years. The waitress was quite friendly and serves us promptly. The salad was wilted and lacking in the veggie department. My boyfriend ordered an elk burger with fries and I ordered a steak and fries. Both of our fries were so over cooked there was virtually no moisture left. The steak and elk burger was cooked fine but overall the meal was mediocre at best. Was expensive for the quality we received. Don't think we will return again, but this diner is in a great location for truckers with plenty of parking. read more

Absolutely fantastic breakfast this morning. Our group of 4 had a variety of items, from a fish sandwich to steaks and the chicken fried steak. Everything was fantastic!! Our server was awesome as well... cheers to a great working team!!! read more

Despite being long-time Klamath County residents, this was our first time eating at Cinder's. "Dy-No-Mite" is how I'd describe both the food and service. Gina was our server, and she was top notch, making us all feel at home and checked on us several times to make sure all our dining needs were more than fulfilled. My sister had the shrimp dinner and devoured it, and her friend had the NY Strip dinner I believe and he had zero complaints. I had the DBL Bacon cheese burger and curly fries. The burger was seasoned and cooked to perfection and the bacon was not to crispy and not floppy either, it was thick cut and they put plenty on the burger. Gina made the experience quite pleasant and both her and the food made the drive well worth it. Thank you Gina, and Cinder's, for the awesome dining experience. read more

Last year they had a makeover so it's quite decent seating. I'm rating the cheeseburgers. Consistently perfect although one cook is better than the other but I dont know which is which. They have two kinds of fries, one is cooked until they are burned really bad...the others are the best fries I've ever eaten. The meat comes from a local butcher and is fresh daily. Perfectly assembled the cheeseburgers are a work of art. Chocolate milkshakes are made with CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM something very rarely done.. read more

For travelers heading north on US Hwy 97 into the Klamath Basin and the "Oregon Outback", there's very few dining options between Weed and Klamath Falls. Just four small towns dot the trail, and two of them (Macdoel, CA, and Midland, OR) offer zero in the way of fresh food. Despite the growth of the K Falls area and especially Bend as a tourist destination for adventure-seekers, restaurants in this 90-mile stretch are an endangered species. For every eatery that is open, you pass as many vacant turn-key eateries and dilapidated husks of former restaurants such as the spectacularly decaying Juniper Lodge restaurant and motel which stands open to the elements and curious exploration in the south end of Butte Valley (one can hardly believe today that it was still in service just ten years ago!). The road slows down around a couple of corners in Dorris, the last California town, just enough to keep 3-4 places open, but even Dorris has seen its best and cheapest option, Mi Ranchito Taqueria, shuttered in recent weeks. Very sad! Just a couple hundred yards shy of the stateline, the ghostly Cal Ore Supper Club's wooden siding splinters as it sits below its fantastic rusty neon/googie-era sign. By the time you enter Oregon, you might be demoralized enough to crave a heatlamp-beaten corn dog at a mini-mart, but you don't hafta settle! Cinders Café is just three miles ahead in Worden, and it is a trucker haven, a heaven for coffeeshop mavens. Surely, the bar is set low for quality when competition's nearly non-existent, but Cinders shoots well above it and achieves excellence, particularly in the area of breakfast where the sausage, biscuits, and gravy are some of the best you will likely find for hundreds of miles in any direction. I've always been in too much of a hurry to or from K Falls to stop in the tiny hamlet of Worden to eat at Cinders. I've often wondered about it as I've passed it about 60 times in the last ten years. The Wikipedia page for Worden says "As of 1990, Worden had a 24-hour café and truck stop", and Cinders was still open 24 hours when I first began visiting the area often. Back then, if I was hungry on Hwy 97, I'd just gut it out and fill the gullet with the greasy fare at Mollie's truck stop and diner which served at all hours near the cluster of cheap motels just north of the junction with State Rte. 39. Before it closed a couple years ago, Mollie's was a bit better than Cinders at providing the definitive atmosphere of a mid-20th-century coffeeshop with its chrome-moulded tables and wrap-around front windows, but the food at Mollie's was barely better than Denny's. Cinders completely buries Mollie's food while providing a much less hooker-y feel. Trampy trucker-friendly ladies of the night would often buzz around Mollie's, and while it was sometimes fun to gawk at the groadiness of road-weary johns getting frisky with pitted-skinned, peroxided chippies in tube tops revealing dubiously tatted tatas, I'd rather I was eating Cinders' fantastic food. Cinders is simply the best traditional American diner food north of Lulu's in Redding or south of the Portland metro area. My girlfriend got the "Worden Benedict" which is biscuits & gravy with plenty of fennelly sausage. All the elements tasted homemade. This ain't no Sysco crap! I chose the Philly cheese omelet special which combined perfectly grilled peppers with prime rib (I opted to hold the onions) and gooey cheddar. If the chef turned the leftovers from the previous night's prime rib into this omelet, it can only be a credit to his creativity and resourcefulness. If it was not leftover prime rib, then he must've begun roasting it before the crack of dawn because it was totally delightful. Service was fast and friendly, even though only one waitress was there to serve all of the guests and handle tickets for a couple Oregon Lottery keno players. She apologized beforehand that she was nursing recurring migraines with new meds, but despite the appearance of being frazzled, she executed her job incredibly well and kept lively conversation with a couple old-timers seated at the horseshoe-shaped bar. It sounds like life moves slowly in Worden....or at least, everything moves slowly except for this waitress and the traffic whizzing past at typically 10mph above the posted limit. The big topic of conversation was the antique gun that the waitress had won at the NRA dinner in Dorris earlier that weekend. Our bill was $20 even including my girlfriend's coffee. We left a 35% tip because Cinders really earned it. From now on, we'll make a point of stopping there! (Please note: I entered the address as Worden, OR, but Yelp defaulted it to Klamath Falls.) read more
