And if you dare question any of the above, you're told to shut up, suck it up... and be thankful for what you got! The Prodigal Son is a throwback to the best of pre-Covid times: Fantastic beer!

You can't tell they make their own dough and they use great ingredients!! The fried ravioli is also a family favorite. Mixed drinks are prepared quickly and always tasty. The entire menu and personality of this lace is so fun!! I love their sense of humor and whimsy in everything they do. You've gotta get here for pizza if you haven't yet. Hands down the best pizza in Pendleton, Hermiston, and all of Tri Cities. Not sure about Walla Walla as I haven't tried pizza there, but who knows?? Could be!

We were promptly seated but then probably sat for 10 minutes before our waitress came over. She was friendly but perhaps had too many tables to cover. Long delays to get drinks. We tried to order another round of drinks shortly before our dinner arrived. Our dinner came and we once again tried to get drinks. When our waitress came to check on the dinner we asked about the drinks again. Finally as we were done with our dinner we requested she cancel the drink order. 5 minutes later she came back with our drinks and said the bartender just poured them. Disappointing.....

Seems like a bad buy on managements part. Then I set the empty carafe on the end of the server in front of the table while she took drink orders, she looked at it, then walked away...? If sat there empty most of the meal- aka they came back several times to take our food order, give us food, and check in before they finally filled it again. Drinks were decent, can't really mess up a mimosa I guess. I thought the food was gross and bland, I didn't eat it. The rest of my party liked their food though. Edit: bumping this up a star because of the nice reply I got. I'll be sure to support this business again as soon as I can and update my review. (This review was originally three stars)

My morning peach was super flavorful the goat cheese and peach Jame with the salty bacon such a good balance. Definitely easy and almost just a little too much jam. My daughter's bacon avocado panini was also right on point. Oh and they squeeze their own grapefruit and orange juice. You can tell everything is from scratch. I wish we had a place like this at home. The ambiance is so cute hippie, little county chic and hipster. The music is great love the rustic seating. Def should come to this spot of your in town.

It's the oldest continuously operating cafe and bar in Oregon. From the neon outside and in, the…read morehistory and ambiance is a throwback that dates to the 1880's. The bar is long, with pictures of all the Pendleton Round-Up lining one wall. The place is a fascinating time capsule. Way in the back, beyond the bar and the pool table, a very small dining room with counter service and several humble booths are tucked away next to the kitchen. It's old, and proud of it. I've only eaten there twice; I once had a great breakfast there many years ago with my son. The portions were generous, the service was excellent, and as American style breakfasts go, it was about as good as they get. It's not "inspired food." It's the standard stuff, and there's something comforting about that. It's Americana at it's best. The second time was my birthday, and again, I was there with my son. It was evening. When we got there, we were the only ones occupying the cafe. It looked exactly as it had 20-plus years ago. My son ordered a hamburger and fries. Again, no trendy toppings or fuss, just very fresh, very well prepared hearty fare...exactly what we were looking for. I had their "famous" fried chicken. it was without hesitation, some of the best I'd ever tasted. It came with jo-jos, a salad, and garlic bread. It was all excellent, and almost too much food. If you enjoy old school dining in a small town cafe, it's going to be hard to beat the Rainbow Cafe and Bar.

The whole place is well decorated, pretty cozy, and definitely got a vibe to it of a local place. Service: everyone was fine and friendly, we were friendly to them as we could tell on the Sunday night it was just the two folks and they were doing their best. Drinks and food: the drinks were strong but good, the food was excellent. We got the chicken and it's definitely enough to split with someone, and the French dip which my husband said was meh. The potato jojos were huge but tasty. Over all very well worth the visit! A nice historic place and experience.
