Tried to stop by this place while visiting the area but unfortunately it was closed. Just wanted to give an update re:their on-again/off-again hours. We asked around town & the owner is dealing with some serious health issues causing unexpected closures. Hoping other reviewers will extend her some grace if they find the place unexpectedly closed. read more

Excellent breakfast cafe! The prices are amazing, and the food is delicious. I tried the French toast and bacon. The French toast was cooked to perfection. It also had some vanilla flavor. The breakfast sandwich had bacon, egg, and cheese. It was delightful. Everything was cooked to perfection. That bacon was also very tasty. I had a cup of coffee, and the waitress made sure my coffee stayed full. This is a cute little cafe that you do not want to miss! read more

The perfect lunch spot after hiking at Crater Lake! Excellent food in a very cute small town cafe. The service was excellent and felt like I was right at home. I didn't even get a picture of my partner's food because he ate his BLT so fast. I got the grilled cheese and a n ice cream sundae after. Our whole meal was $17. read more

Local here in Chiloquin and this little spot is a hub for many folks. Good simple food made by good people. Hash browns with sausage gravy, egg on top is perfect every time. For anyone dropping in from larger cities, welcome! Reminder,, this town has just over 700 people. There is no hustle or bustle. There isn't even a stop light! Slow down a bit, come by and take a seat. Enjoy some good food, good people and beautiful scenery. read more

This little hole in the wall cafe in Chiloquin was such a pleasant surprise! I got a BLT, which I tend to get because it's hard to mess up. It was delicious, but the potato salad...I haven't been able to stop thinking about it, and it's been weeks! It's homemade, and so delicious. It's not sweet, and it's nice and creamy and chunky. I just want to order it by the tub full. The customer service was also top notch. You can tell this is a small town eatery, everyone who walked in the door was greeted as a friend. I'll definitely be back. read more

We got some great sandwiches, including outstanding BLT (as other reviews have mentioned), with the bacon cooked just right and on the spot. Also clearly beloved by, and loving to, the community this restaurant serves. A place where everybody knows everybody, and they are also friendly to folks just passing through. Good humored all around. Wonderful train town atmosphere. Especially if you're here for Train Mountain Museum, this is the place to grab breakfast or lunch. The decor is all about trains and it goes deeper than that, with real pride and connections to the things that make Chiloquin special. read more

The ambience is old-timer hangout. My impression is lots locals support this business. I do not understand how in the world this business has a five star rating. Maybe they have an abundance of family and friends that wrote five star reviews. I ordered a green side salad and cream of mushroom soup. The salad was inedible. Wilted green lettuce, brown iceberg lettuce, slimy cucumbers were the main ingredients. I was able to eat the cherry tomatoes but that was about all. The soup wasn't creamy it was as thick as wallpaper paste. If you can't get something as simple as soup and salad right you should probably just close up shop. read more

Man the breakfast here just blows everything out of the water compared with everything else available in Chiloquin. Don't think: just go with the full breakfast plate and a side of three French toast. How did she make the toast so soft and tasty? The owner definitely puts her heart and soul into the meals. All the items were extra delicious: perhaps she added margarine to them? In any case I had ordered to-go at 6:30 am and she whipped them up quite quickly. If you're staying in the area or need something before your crater lake trip (south entrance), this is definitely the best spot to get your grub on! read more

The food is exactly what you're looking for in a lovely little small town cafe: soup of the day WAS AMAZING (homemade hearty hamburger), the turkey avocado bacon (tab) was AMAZING, and the bacon cheeseburger was a homemade patty with a grip of bacon.

Our second visit! The first was for breakfast last year, and my daughter and I split a gravel pit, an enormous combination of every good thing about breakfast! All the elements were well made, and the combination seemed to be intentional and original. We also had an order of biscuits and sausage gravy that was equally wonderful... Real gravy (not too starchy), and a real, giant biscuit. The second visit, we brought a group for lunch, and there were seven of us, so they put us in the back. It was fine. There are all kinds of train memorabilia everywhere, and it with a trainstop right in Chiloquin, it made a lot of sense. The service was really great, very friendly and "local," and the patrons seemed to know exactly what kind of place this would be. We had a variety: burgers (thick and can be ordered medium rare, although mine was more medium), home made chili mac soup, BlTs and club sandwiches, all the things that make a local diner very special! This, plus a visit to Collier, is an ideal long weekend! read more

We ordered the Green Machine smoothie and a matcha, and both were really good and definitely a highlight of our visit. Where the experience fell a bit short for us was the food. While the presentation was great, the taste didn't quite match expectations. The breakfast tacos listed potatoes, but they ended up being more like tater tots, and the tortillas weren't warm -- my friend wasn't very fond of them. I ordered the #5 sandwich, which was described as being on jalapeño toast, but it came on regular toast instead, along with a pickle on the side. The sandwich itself was okay -- not bad, but something I could easily make at home. For the two drinks and two food items, we paid around $40, which felt a bit high considering the overall food experience. I can see why this place is well-loved by locals -- it fits the neighborhood vibe and likely appeals to the regular crowd -- but as visitors, the food didn't quite live up to the hype for us. Overall, it's a cute spot with great drinks, friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere. I'd probably come back for beverages, but I'd skip the food next time
