The chef was also very helpful and made our lunch quickly and got us back on the road. Thank you Angela!!

The old…read moreowners were rude to Truck drivers but at least their food was reasonably priced and the food was good. When starting a restaurant you want to build a clientele it's better to start with lower prices and have the best food and service possible to get them in the door. People are creatures of habit. If they enjoy their experience eating at your restaurant they'll continue to come in, but for the love of God, lower your prices be courteous to your customers and attentive to their needs. Don't just act nice to the people you know and ignore the ones you don't. # 1 your prices are way too high. # 2 the menu is very limited # 3 unfriendly Service very disconnected # 4 biscuits and gravy were shit thin like bread

I love Josie's!! This is a gem in Sunriver. It's family owned and family friendly. You can tell…read morefrom the moment you walk in it's a family business. I think everyone who works there is apart of this family. They argue and bicker that way but you know it's out of love for one another. I've been here a few times now and every time I've come in I've never been disappointed. The sandwiches are made with love and they really listen to any request you may want to add to customize your meal. What I love the best is the ingredients are fresh and they do not cut corners here. Josie's special sauce is a must try on any sandwich! The experience that made me smile today when I came in and made me want give this review is the customer service. I ordered a normal breakfast sandwich and added some veggies. The lady that took my order was very sweet and attentive. She never once rushed me or made me feel like I was a bother by adding things to my sandwich. What took it to the next level was the inquiry about the soup of the day, clam chowder. My absolute favorite!!! They didn't have any ready yet because obviously it was morning. I asked her what time they closed and I told her I would come back later in the day for it. She said it would probably sell out before I got back so she offered to put in a ticket for a later pickup. What?! Who does that and on top of it said to just let her know if I couldn't make it back in time. Right there is above and beyond customer service. This is why I will frequent a place if the service is good. I don't need to feel like I'm being pampered on, just welcomed. This place is just that and on top of it, delicious food too! Great service, quality and its a family establishment. I love it.

Upon delivering our appetizer, we were given our check. We then kindly asked to order the rest of our meal. Burger, BLT and mozzarella sticks. Burger was a thin frozen patty, mozzarella sticks with ranch (?) and the bacon on the BLT was burned - you could taste the fries were fried in old oil. Y'all... just don't. There's a cool looking restaurant down the road (KJ's maybe?) - wish we would've tried them out. I'll also state, that I've never written a bad review - just signed up for Yelp for this review -- $46 later, hoping we don't get sick - SKIP THIS RESTAURANT.

We just wanted to stop by somewhere to get food before we lost signal and we stumbled upon Lion Mountain Bakery from following the signs on the road. We were surprised to see what was inside. Around 11am there was a performer singing some sweet neologisms. There were also lots of art that you can purchase, some books that you're able to check out. I'm guessing this is where the people of Oakridge come to get work done because there were ample seats and WiFi set up. In fact, there were a couple people getting work done when we got here. What we got: Breakfast burrito $9 Breakfast sandwich $9 Shriek breakfast sandwich $10 Quiche $6- goes well with ketchup and green Tabasco sauce Triple Timber $6- specialty drink that has: hazelnut+caramel mocha with 3 shots of espresso The Roaring Lion $5.5: vanilla chai tea latte with 2 shots of espresso. There were also affordable baked goods like cookies, scones, abs brownies depending on what you're craving. I read a review that someone mentioned it took a while to get a sandwich. The lady at the front mentioned that there would be a wait time of 30 minutes because they had a limited space at the grill- so it was nice we were warned beforehand.
