I wanted desperately to enjoy this. I was told it was a great steak and a great restaurant. And in fact to mediocre steaks plate pod but not heated frozen vegetables, , unimaginative coleslaw, a cold plate of kids, macaroni and cheese, well that was the highlights. More fun playing one of the games by the wood stove then enjoyable eating. None of the food was bad. Except the being cold thing. But really nothing was bad but nothing was worth writing home about. The garlic bread was a little bit off. Bad choice of spices. I think someone used the off the shelf Italian seasoning set of being creative. There was a single herb Emily mix that didn't mix well with the rest of what was going on. Seats were uncomfortable. Tables were beautifully clean. I don't think I'd go out of my way to come back. That's pretty much the opinion of the two people I was with as well. We were there for dinner. It was a little over $30 per person, we don't have alcohol so it was $100 for three people. The Sunday of simply School of ice cream. Marionberry pie was good. About average for the area. Little expensive with a scoop of ice cream at $8 for a slice.
When I was served my cup of clam chowder straight run of the milk lamb chowder, I got a teaspoon to eat it with. Then after dinner had a" Sunday" which was just like I said, a scoop of vanilla ice cream with some Hershey syrup on top and I was given is gorgeous hefty soup spoon. A little weird. Wait staff was friendly. All in for $100. There's a lot of other places I would have rather eaten. And a whole lot of places I...
Read moreThis place is a true gem among today’s fancy accommodations and modern facilities. Very eclectic setting along the highway with ultra clean motel style cabins behind it. Something out of an old small town movie. The restaurant: Family ran by a gentleman and his wife that cook and provide homemade food, pies soups, and sauces. You name it! Alcoholic beverages are served as well. The food is absolutely amazing as it’s mostly all cooked by Gabriel the owner. He has worked in the restaurant business for many years and has previously put many on the map for sought after places to eat. Most everything on the menu is hand crafted and delicious. The restaurant offers an overwhelming selection of menu items that surely provides anyone a satisfying meal of taste and comfort. Sometimes people traveling in the area need or expect a special foo-foo and or an atmosphere of extraordinary setting to enhance their moments. This is not that place. The Bunkhouse restaurant is very rustic, yet clean and eclectic to old wayside diner charm. If you need fancy or are expecting high end dining atmosphere, just keep driving. Food wise, I find this place amazing because of its character and great tasting food and expansive menu items. I have reviewed many places and restaurants across the Country including 243 in Oregon alone over the years. In my opinion and without being a true Chef, places like the Bunkhouse restaurant are the ‘must see, ‘must eat at kind of places. Hopefully you will enjoy it...
Read moreWent to get an espresso milkshake and when we went to the counter we couldn’t understand the cashier at the counter and she was really quiet and mumbly, not to mention wearing her mask incorrectly, but the menu said there was a number of syrups available including pumpkin spice and hazelnut, so when we ordered she got irritated and said we only have strawberry, chocolate and vanilla, and when we asked if she couldn’t put the hazelnut or pumpkin spice into the espresso milkshakes she got mad and said we only have chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry and literally slammed her hands down on the counter with each word, not giving an explanation or anything. So we got a chocolate and I honestly got turned off by the idea of buying from here so I didn’t buy anything, also we didn’t taste any coffee at all I’m it, pretty sure it was just a chocolate milkshake with no espresso and it was the Latina cashier,...
