    Heading home after a terrible little getaway when our friend suggested checking out a nearby area. We saw this place and decided to stop in for lunch. It definitely feels like a nicer place and the service was so friendly and prompt. Nice clean place including the restroom. We're not hunters but the pieces on the wall are impressive to say the least. Now for the amazing food. Our friend foolishly just ordered a burger with potatoes. Don't get me wrong, he loved it and ate every bite there. However, he did see the meatloaf sandwich and realized when he saw that on the menu he didn't put it together that it was a sandwich and not just meatloaf. After seeing that (and it did look terrific) he had some regrets. I got the nachos and was surprised how spicy they were. I enjoyed every bit of them, three times actually because yeah, their chips held up and there were that many toppings to go around too. It was massive and if not the biggest nacho I've had, for sure one of the top. The flavor was really good, but even I had regrets. Somehow they also have the most amazing Nashville hot chicken sandwich. It was a thing of beauty coming out. It was this huge glistening piece of crispy chicken. Not too spicy and had such a delicious flavor. It made our friend realize why I like honey with chicken, sweet and hot are a fantastic combo. He also went with the mac salad and I have to say it really took me back. The flavor reminded me of the mac salad my grandma used to make. She had a couple of differences, but that flavor, I haven't had that in decades now. So yeah, I was a little jealous I only got a taste of chicken and mac salad. It's like the food just gets better and better here. I would definitely recommend stopping in for a meal.

    Riverside taters

    Ambiance is fun and appropriate for the location. Servers were quite busy (holiday weekend) but friendly and helpful (if a bit forgetful). The food was ok. We ordered riverside taters that were pretty good. Nice and crispy, but could have used a little more seasoning imo. Served with not enough ranch. We each ordered a fried chicken sandwich and it was OVER fried. Either the oil was too hot or over-used. But the kicker, for me, was that the sandwich was huge, but once you cut into it, they had shaved down the chicken breast until it was about a half of an inch thick. It was disappointing. My side salad was overdressed. Hubs thought his salad was good. All the food appeared fresh and house made, so that is a plus. We could have just caught them on a bad day, but that thin ass chicken breast did it for me. Hubs was more upset about the cook on it. I'd try it again, but maybe not the chicken sandwich. We also ordered a couple of drinks that were pretty good.

    Prime rib dip with macaroni salad.

    What an epic little eatery along the Deschutes River in Maupin. The special of the day, prime rib dip! I went with a side of macaroni salad. Awesome! The prime rib was tender and moist, on a soft roll with 2 kinds of cheese. The au jus was perfect - not too salty.

    Ribs, corn grits, cucumber salad
    Dave G.

    Nice comfortable place with great service. Waitress was super friendly and attentive- food came out quickly. Ribs were massive- good BBQ (not the best but meaty and smoky), sides were a great match, and prices were very good. Left satisfied!

    Sautéed prawns with peanut sauce
    Jeff F.

    Still the best. Swung by for lunch when the fishing got slow, as always got top notch service and dang good drink with some sautéed prawns. Just what ya need when your hands are getting cold and the fish are snubbing ya.

    I vote no.  Burnt ribs, horrible.
    Connie M.

    I vote no. Burnt ribs, horrible. Grits weren't good, cucumber salad was old. My sister had a better experience.

    Amazing buffet for Mother's Day tonight. So many delicious choices of excellent food. Everything…read morewas so good including the array of desserts . I would definitely enjoy this again. The service was perfect. Thank you Luis. Sitting outside on the deck was so comfortable and beautiful.

    I ate at this restaurant twice while staying at the hotel in March and April, once for dinner and…read moreonce for breakfast. Both meals were great. Service was prompt, and the restaurant atmosphere is very pleasant. It's kind of funny because you'll have people in suits having a business meeting over dinner, and other regular hotel guests just dining casually in t-shirts and jeans. On both occasions, I was dining with another family member. When we were there for dinner, we were having a really hard time deciding what to order, and our server let us know that there was a 2-for deal going on for some of the pastas. Each of us had been considering a pasta, so that solved that problem! Both were delicious, and we had leftovers to take home. When we were there for breakfast, I was feeling adventurous and ordered the lox and bagel, which I've only had a very basic version of one other time. It was soooo good, and very filling. Several other options on the breakfast menu also sounded really good, but I'm glad I went with this for the experience. I'd definitely eat here again if/when I stay in the hotel again. Since there's no free breakfast offered by the hotel, they give you vouchers for the restaurant, so you can get a pretty good deal on a meal.
