Searching for a place to relax, have a meal (after working under tents for their Western Days all…read moreday in the cold blistery wind weather), we decided to visit Horseshoe Saloon, only to tell us: we go outside (pointing that way) to ORDER our food (from two food carts), and bring them back to eat inside - if we want, or eat outside. We went outside (back in the cold wind), and found no one in both food trucks. We also don't feel like this is the type of food, we want for dinner, since we ate from a food cart, during my event! We couldn't find the exit, back to our parked vehicle, since we're inside a locked-in coral, so we have to go back inside the bar, where people were staring at us, that we didn't order food or drink, to go back to our vehicle. Embarrassed! For those visiting Prineville, this is what you'll get!

Sadly, today at 4:40pm on a Thursday afternoon we were confronted by an angry, aggressive drunk who…read morestood at the bar yelling at us. Then approached our table yelling about masks.

When hubby found this restaurant, it was where we turned around last night, I couldn't believe, we didn't come here sooner, instead we went to another restaurant, and ended coming back here. (That's what happens, when you search and new in town). Flowers hanging on the front porch, and first impression display as you walked inside, got me! The plague on the wall, as you wait to be seated, all signs, we picked a good finale night to spend dinner. This time, we ordered what each wanted: Hubby ordered Prime Rib, thin sliced with side dish Wild Rice Pilaf. I ordered the Cod Dinner with side dish Bacon Pepper Green Beans. We shared a salad. And a complimentary Molten Lava Cake, with a candle on it. Thank you, Danielle! Only negative that I found? This is Prineville, Oregon, why butter from HOUSTON, TX? Is Oregon butter, not good enough, for Prineville? Also: After three nights, three restaurants, there's always the same Clam Chowder, do they get their supplies from one source, or are they from Texas, too!

A little expensive for the portions. Today i ordered breakfast #5 full size, biscuits and country gravy. Full means 2 biscuits cut in half, the country gravy was thin and the "sausage" in the gravy tasted more like ground beef. Staff was fast to drown us with coffee but no respect as customers. My family won't be returning. read more
