Squeeze-In Restaurant & Deck — Restaurant in Canyon City

Squeeze-In is your typical, small town cafe with with a menu identical to what you’d expect in a restaurant like this. We arrived just after opening at 7:00am Saturday morning. I started my day with the Eggs Benedict (English muffin, two poached eggs, and ham covered in hollandaise sauce and served with hash browns, $10.50). I don’t usually order eggs benedict but on this particular rainy morning in John Day it was just what I needed. It filled me up for my entire 6 mile hike in the cold and snow. The eggs were cooked perfectly, and the hollandaise was very fresh, definitely made that morning. I thought my English muffin was a little overheated, it was chewy in the edges but still edible. My hash browns could have used a couple more minutes on the grill but again, good enough to eat!

My husband kept it simple by ordering f the Classic (two eggs cooked any style, served with choice of bacon, sausage, polish or turkey sausage, hash browns and toast, $11.00). He enjoyed his breakfast as well. Eggs were a little overcooked but nothing a little maple syrup couldn’t fix! I loved the fact that he got 4 sausage links instead of the usual two that most cafes I’ve been to serve. Definitely a great value!

My favorite thing about this little establishments is the vibe between the service and the regular patrons. Call me a creep, but I love to people watch and listen about what others are talking about. You can tell nearly everyone coming in is a regular by the conversations. I think that even though all these cafes are very similar, they all have their own personality that differentiates them from one another, and I’m totally...

Sadly our experience here was not good. In fact we left with out even ordering. We were there approximately 25 minutes. The place was fairly busy when we entered. We saw one waitress, a bus boy and someone who came out with the waitress to help serve the one table. Possibly the cook or bus boy.We saw one table recieve their orders. We waited about 15 minutes and didn't get a menu so I helped myself to one by the cash register. At that point the waitress was at the cash register and seemed to be struggling with the machine. Then 3 more tables of customers came in. Then she was cashing out the table of gentleman who had received their food. There was a 10- 15 minute period of time when she didn't come into the dining room at all. At least 6 people left including myself and my husband. I think the lack of help was the problem. There was a help needed sign in the window. It was never more true than that morning. I felt sorry for the waitress. We were neither greeted or waited on in that amount of time and true for all the customers who came in while we were there....

I came here on Easter sunday. The place was packed when I arrived and everyone was eating their food so I didnt think it would take long to recieve my order. I ordered to go and was standing around for over an hour. I do not know what happened but it took an extremely long time to receive my order. It was not a big order. I didnt want to spend that long at the restaurant hence the reason I ordered to go. I was late to church because it took so long. I have come here in the past. Years ago. The service was fast and the food was good. So I came back when I was in town. I was disappointed in this visit. The food was okay this time. Just the very long wait...
