    full order of biscuits and gravy - huge portion and best in town!

    good food, huge portions, and friendly service in a comfy railcar styled diner. Best biscuits and gravy in town! If you're not super hungry and don't want leftovers get a half order of the biscuits and gravy instead of full -- the full size is huge!

    A picture from across the street and they have great food

    Doesn't look like much but some of the best burgers and a wide variety of other things to eat. I would definitely go back.

    The train was really nice! The omelette was one of the best ones I've ever eaten. The service was good for being a duo handling the order and cooking.

    Charming mining themed cafe. Tin cups, gold pan plates. Generous tasty meal. Bought some sourdough starter to take home.

    This was really very very good. I was a little bit hesitant initially based on the reviews that I…read moresaw but that's ridiculous. I'm here to change the narrative. The place is clean and offers a fresh salad bar. Hailey was great as a server!!! Also the menu is vast and reasonable. Listen this place has a soup and salad bar are you kidding me? Where do those exist anymore? And it was really good food you had a large salad that was delicious. I'm a chicken fried steakgravy snob and so I had to try it first and they didn't even hesitate to give me a sample. It was fantastic so we got the chicken fried steak and not too was pretty freaking good. We also had beer battered mushrooms and holy cow they were delicious. If you're ever in the Baker City area of Oregon you should check out the Baker Truck Corral! It was a Ma and Pa type diner vibe with a pretty vast menu. We shared a dinner of chicken fried steak and it was absolutely delicious. The Yelp reviews aren't that great and I'm confused by that because I thought it was fantastic. Definitely if you're in the area stop in Baker City and go to the Baker Truck Corral.

    The food was more than I could eat. This was the best truck…read morestop restaurant at which we have ever eaten. They served breakfast, lunch, and, dinner all day long. The portions were large. The atmosphere fun. Our server, Megan, was pleasant. Highly recommend in Baker City.

    I'm always grateful to have a truly great cup of coffee in my hand when I'm on a road trip…read more Sorbenots is a drive-thru coffee chain with five locations across Eastern Oregon, and their drinks were served at the perfect temperature, smelled amazing, smooth, and beautifully balanced. My amaretto latte reminded me of marzipan, offering just the right touch of sweetness. Service was quick and friendly, and I loved their vibrant, and very pretty cups. The sun motif instantly made me smile. And honestly, all the little drive-thru coffee huts in this region feel like such a charming part of the experience.

    Drove the main strip of Baker City a handful of times, the kind of slow roll where you start…read morememorizing storefronts whether you mean to or not. Coffee Corral catches your eye, then another spot slips past but Serbintos? That one sits different. Looks like a well-kept house with one of those clean U-turn driveways that practically invites you in like, "Go ahead, swing it around you're meant to be here." And when I finally did pull in, it clicked. This is what you want out here. Not the overthought, overbuilt, overcomplicated coffee experience just that smooth, no-nonsense drive-through, in and out, but still done right. There's something about being this far out that changes the equation. You stop measuring things the same way. I couldn't tell you the exact elevation, but I'll tell you this it feels higher. Not in feet, but in feeling. Like everything's been lifted just a notch above the usual grind. Out here, a good cup of coffee isn't just routine... it lands more like a small gift. And somehow, that makes it better than it has any right to be.
