Nice, cozy little place to stop for breakfast. Not much to look at from outside, but did not disappoint.

The slowest service around. Make sure you have over an hour and half of time around to wait.

Delicious and lots of food, great service by staff, and beautiful restaurant setting. read more

We stopped by for a quick bite to eat. When we first sat, I noticed the tobacco sauce appeared to be completely watered down. I checked another table and the same thing. After we ordered, I saw one of the workers in the kitchen sneeze and not cover his face. I was in awe and said "are you kidding me right now?" To which the cook and another worker laughed. The food was subpar with the meat on the beef stew being VERY tough, fatty and chewy. The berry cobbler with ice cream was delicious which is why I gave 1 star. We have eaten here in the past and not impressed but figured we would try again. I would recommend this place for berry cobbler only. read more

I come to this area a lot but have never dined here. I used Yelp to find it and the reviews enticed me to give it a try. Let me say that I'm sorry I haven't tried it sooner! The inside of this log cabin ambiance is just gorgeous and is a well done renovation! Sit by the window for a beautiful bird's eye view of the small yet beautiful creek below. The home made biscuits are just ridiculously delicious (and I don't usually eat bread but I ate every last crumb)! Biscuit is served with house made wild berry preserves and again, I don't usually like those but this was to die for... Not too sweet and tasted like wild berries, go figure! You won't regret dining here. I was there on a Sunday morning and they offered breakfast and lunch starting at 8:00 AM. ENJOY!! read more

Wonderful dishes , really nice variety of food . Servers in the lounge were amazing and fun ! Would definitely come here again read more

Stopped in for the brunch buffet. We'd driven by many times but never stopped-we love supporting local small businesses! Well...the food was all out in warming dishes and It looked like maybe we were toward the end time? Most things gone or almost gone. We got our plates and sat down, the food was all cold! So cold I was afraid we might get sick. The restaurant was FULL of flies- we counted twenty at our table. A closer look around a general lack of cleanliness. For $19 a plat plus drink costs I expected more. read more

This place is absolutely incredible. Restored cabin that is beautiful. Service is wonderful. Everything on the menu is incredible. I sound like I work here or something haha. We've been before and I don't know why I didn't leave a review before. The guy that owns this also works it every weekend. He restored the building from being condemned. There is a creek out the back window that's exceptionally beautiful. read more

Great food, and the cutest little spot! Sat in the sun on the patio and it was lovely. If ordering a Mimosa... They are not messing around!! It came in a 16oz glass, ha. It was delicious. read more

Went here on a Sunday morning and waited over an hour for food. We were about to get up and leave right before they brought our food out because we noticed nobody else in the place had their food yet either and they looks unhappy as well. The place wasn't very busy at all. When the food did come out it was average, the French toast was completely burnt, like burnt burnt. They then tried to double charge us on our bill for the most expensive plate of the group. Cute on the outside but matches the rest of the town, very lacking. read more

No non-dairy creamer options for the weak coffee. This is definitely a diner, so that's how one should set their expectations about the quality of food here. But unlike other diners with crispy home fries, mine were on the soft side. My veggie scramble was a heap of flavorless egg. I guess adding cheese is the only way to get some flavor out of the food. There weren't any vegan options. I hope the service today was an anomaly. One hardworking waiter was running around as best he could to service 30 tables-an impossible task. The ambience is typical for a mountain town cafe and feels cozy with nice green trees beyond the generously-sized windows. But someone did not consider the rustic wooden tables leave no space for one's legs, because the oversized leg in the middle holding it up takes up the entire space beneath the table. Very uncomfortable. read more

The food was delicious and fresh! It's a nice and cozy spot and great customer service. Highly recommended.

We came here on a trip to bend and we're surprised at the humble but clean enough wooden decor. Chicken fried steak tasty and rustic, good coffee, biscuit and gravy exceptional, marionberry cobbler WOW! read more

The food was good and the service was wonderful. I had a bacon cheeseburger with their *oh-so-good* curly fries and it was just what I needed after a morning spent on the slopes. I saw some breakfast plates and they looked great too. I would come back again. read more

Very good breakfasts and tavern food. Fun and historic ambiance. Warm and friendly staff. We will be back. read more

Who would've thought that such a tiny place away from everything would have such good food! Service was wonderful and all the food was delicious! I had oatmeal for breakfast one day and it was incredibly delicious. We had Huevos rancheros the second day and omg sooo good! Homemade beans, salsa and tortilla. The last day we had lunch and my husband had the meatloaf which he said was so good. And homemade! I had the Rueben and yum it was fantastic. read more

The food was delicious, I had the waffle with marionberry compote, side of bacon and coffee. The service was attentive and I was seated in a great spot with a beautiful view of the forest and river below. read more

Planned on going to the ZigZag Inn across the street that I have been too multiple times and the food is good and great prices. It was closed due to a staff wedding, so we went across the street to this place. It was pretty busy, waited by front of restaurant with no acknowledgement. Went up to where they were cooking and asked if we seat ourselves (a sign maybe up??), they said to seat anywhere. Then waited 10 minutes for someone to come over, wasn't sure if you were supposed to order up front. Just getting up to check when waiter came over with menus. Asked if we wanted anything to drink, my husband ordered a soda, but was told it was $6.95 for refillable? What?? No thanks. Ordered our food, and then proceeded to wait almost an hour for it to arrive. No one came by and said sorry it was taking so long, or when it would be coming out. We almost left, it was taking so long. Food finally came, and fries were ice cold and hard, almost potato chips. Burger and chicken sandwich were good, but for $17, not worth for the time to wait. Won't be back. read more

Worst service. Had a sign that said buffet or full menu, but would not serve anything on the menu.

We love Zigzag for breakfast! Food was exceptional with great service. Their scramble was really good, homemade biscuits are light and perfect. Their homemade raspberry jam is a bonus!Fruit cup was fresh, crisp, and had variety adding in mango and papaya. What a treat! My wife is particular and asked for egg white scramble with add ins and she was beyond happy! This is our second time here and the last time we had mimosas and bloody Mary's and my blood Mary was amazing! Way better than timberlines bloody in our opinions! read more

Interesting little place. Very woodsy and cabin like decor. This place is supposedly really good for breakfast, but I came in for a pizza. I went inside and noticed I was the only one in the store. The inside seemed to be a bit disorganized. Not sure if they were moving around inventory or what. There were racks of t-shirts and hoodies in the front, shelves of nick knacks here and there, odd supplies for the home and so on. I noticed the tables and chairs in the back of the store. There was no waitress...so I wasn't sure if I should sit down at a table or order at the counter. An older guy behind the counter looked busy until I caught his attention. I asked him if they made pizzas. He looked at the clock as if they were closing, but then nodded and said they did. The older guy then handed me a menu. I was just needing a cheese pizza to go. No biggie. I ordered and It took about 15 minutes. Pizza tasted good minus the burnt parts. read more

A very quaint and reliable place to eat in Zigzag. Came here after a night of snowboarding looking for a big breakfast and this place delivered. Stayed in a cabin half a mile up the road and was happy to encounter this joint firsthand. First thing's first, it was warm and woody inside. There was an nice older man that sat and served us. We had coffee and ordered the Belgian waffle with eggs and the chorizo and egg tostada. Everything came promptly, which was surprising because there were only two workers and a half dozen patrons. The food was hot and exactly what I expected it to be. The waffle was both crispy and soft, perfect in every way. The tostada was crunchy and flavorful, both filling and not at all heavy. I recommend this place in terms of fast, home cooked, simple comfort food. read more

AMAZING Benedicts.... this coming from an admittedly judgmental hollandaise SNOB! I didn't take pictures of the food. But, I noticed the most recent menu pictures were more than 2 yrs old. So, I thought I'd help everyone out and share their current menu: read more

We hit this place up for breakfast and it was a great treat. The kids loved the bear shaped pancakes and we loved the biscuits and chicken fried steak. They also had a great selection to choose from for my protein diet friends. The wait staff was friendly, although they mistakenly brought us more bear shaped pancakes. Coffee was good. Food was great, biscuits were the bomb. Tip: this place has two bathrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs in case there is a line. Come hungry and leave full. Highly recommend this place for breakfast. read more

Mediocre food and appearance. Serviceable if you need ro eat in that location but otherwise find something in Welches OR.

"It is wild how good this is!" I said that at least three times while eating my veggie scramble. Ingredients, the combination, the flavor and sauces, one of the best breakfasts I think I've ever had! And the biscuit was really really good, and I might need to buy jelly from them, so tasty! It was super quick and I really liked the cabin feel/vibe! read more

Lovely spot to stop and have a nice breakfast. There is only one gentleman cooking, so be patient! Your food will be hot and tasty. We had the French toast and lumberjack platter. Solid food, would recommend. read more

I absolutely love this spot! Gorgeous location, great customer service and fantastic food. The Eggs Benedict does not disappoint. It's always my favorite dish on a breakfast menu but Zigzag really gets it right. My girlfriend loves to get the Zigzag scramble with smoked salmon. Highly recommend. Extra parking is on the left. read more

This is the coziest place to come. It's so clean and the food was the best yet. I was hesitant to get the biscuits and gravy but i was not disappointed, best i've ever had. read more

Can't say if the food is any good as we have been here an hour without getting our food order. So starving. I'll add a food review when food finally arrives, if it arrives! read more

The french toast and "Marian" berry pancakes were delicious! We got mimosas too but be cautious because ours came in pint glasses and tasted like it was half champagne. Great place overall, but it did take us awhile to get our food even with it not being super busy. read more

So good we ate here twice two days!! Stopped in at the local ski rental place and Zigzag Mountain Store and Cafe was recommended by a local who said it was the best breakfast around. The kicker was he said he was no longer able to eat here. We asked him why and he said because he was a vegan. Of course we had to take his recommendation, it had to be good! We had the banana pancakes, the veggie scramble, chicken and waffles and the chicken fried steak. The portions are huge and the biscuits that come with the entree are out of this world!! My only suggestion is to give yourself some time, there was only one waitress handling all the tables. Be prepared to wait a bit for your food...trust me it's worth it. We are here for another day, we should try another place but enjoyed this so much we'll probably be back tomorrow. read more

There are always cars in the lot so we just had to check this place out. We had a friendly greeting and our waitress was very helpful. The chicken and waffles is absolutely to die for the chicken was crispy and tender and absolutely delicious is the gravy. I had the house breakfast, the potatoes were delicious but the biscuit that came with was something special it was flaky and buttery and everything could be dunked in the side of gravy. Will absolutely be going again!! read more

This place is located in an awesome spot by a small river and close to Welches. The staff seemed overwhelmed on our visit- not enough servers and minimal attention to customers. Orange juice was undrinkable and tasted like concentrated out of a can with too much water added. Pancakes were made with a sourdough batter and were too bitter to eat. Very, very pricey for the food and experience (over 45.00 for two people with 2 coffees, one juice, two entries). I would have complained at the time and tried to resolve the issues in person, but staff too busy to catch. I hate to leave bad reviews, I truly do, but this was such a waste of my hard earned money :( . Think it needs a bit of an overhaul. The location earned two stars- pretty spot for sure. read more

We were heading for a short road trip to Government Camp, and stopped here for a late lunch, just a random stop along the way - just by accident that we found this. I told our waiter, "the view reminds me of Norway!" There is also a roaring stream below us, and autumn leaves right outside our window. What's missing? The Fjords, and waterfalls. He said: "I wouldn't know, I've not been there." "Like this!" And I pointed him the windows. After taking our order, I looked straight ahead from another window, I spotted a roof covered with moss! In Norway, there are many fisherman's hut, with slate roofs covered with grass & weeds! Close, but good enough! Memories of that trip, came rushing back! Yes, even our bedroom have views such as this with waterfalls! Oh, how I LOVE & missed Norway! I was craving for Coney Island during this rainy weather, but they don't have that today. I ordered the Senior Menu: Meatloaf, baked potato & fresh vegetables. (OK, I just saw on TV the other day, the history how meatloaf came about, let's see if this one taste as good as any meatloaves I've fixed or had during the years). You know what? This was the best meatloaf I've ever eaten! Half baked potato with butter & sour cream, (I must be hungry), was also delish, and the veggies . . . I remember eating those years ago, now I'm eating them again! Sure bringing a lot of my childhood 'comfort food', right now! My hubby had the Bacon Cheese Burger on a Ciabatta bun and curly fries (one look of those fries, I say: I WANT THOSE!) But I had some of his, and all of mine! But mine goes very well with my meatloaf! Enjoyed our lunch! Enjoyed the scenery. Enjoyed our private meal, it was almost like they were there FOR US, and they're just waiting to SERVE US. One negative: The floor, was dirty, like are those wood chips from when they remodeled the dining area, or crude from someone's shoes? No matter! read more

I do not right reviews on a regular basis. But when you are buying a (1) cup of coffee for $4.25 for a black Coffee I thought was extremely expensive. Later I looked online to see what a cup of coffee costs, $2.75 I did not question the server at the time.

After passing by for many years driving to Mt Hood to ski or hike, we stopped for lunch today. It was superb! Big menu, many choices....even for vegetarians. I had a baked potato and sautéed fresh veggies... sounds ho hum but delicious! Husband had a veggie burger on ciabatta with aioli etc. it came with a mountain of curly fries! Service also top notch. Our table at the back had a perfect view of a creek and woods. We will be back often! read more

You have to make sure you don't miss this cute cafe/store when you are coming off the mountain. It's nestled off the highway in the small town of ZigZag. We're glad we made a stop. When you first walk in, it looks like a country store. Walk a little further and you'll see the tables and realize it's a restaurant. Walk a little further up the stairs and you realize it has a fabulous space for lounging around with comfy furniture with a "coffee house" feel. I would definitely meet here for small group meetings. Jerry, the owner, definitely did a good job of dividing the space into whatever suits your needs... shopping, dining, and relaxing. We were there for lunch.. and started off with a very tasty beer (in bottle or on tap). The food is mostly diner food. The burgers and sandwiches were good. We need to come back for breakfast.. I've heard good things.. Give it a try when you are in the area.. and don't forget to check out the digs! read more

We went for breakfast and the food was so delicious!! Every single person in my family enjoyed their food. There was a picnic table outside which we chose to sit at because of our dogs. It was mostly covered by shade and comfortable. Service was good as well. Best food we had in town. read more

Mediocre food at best. French toast had a good description but flavor of a bland French toast made with chibatta bread which is a stupid idea from the chef to put it nicely. Wife ordered chicken and waffles made with chicken fingers and plain waffle. Chicken fingers presumably from a precooked package. Price is much higher than quality of food or lack there of. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Over priced poor quality look elsewhere. read more
