We were traveling late and looking for food. As we pulled up I parked my rig in front of the Cafe. I looked to see if I was blocking anyone when a guy with a Mohawk came out and said “We’re open! Come on in and watch the ducks game!” I said I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t blocking anyone and he replied. “I don’t give a shit if you’re parked straight across!

Since we were both stuffed from the sandwiches and big fries, we took a piece to go. OMG! That cake was beyond delicious! Just the right amount of not overly sweet frosting and delicious moist carrot cake. Prices were about the same as Bend, but if that place were in Bend, it would be packed every day. Shout out to the two lovely ladies who were the waitress and cook. If you’re on the Outback Highway 131, don’t...
