Having grown up in Lexington it's great to see this building being open again. They have done a…read morecrap ton of work renovating the inside to make it friendly and inviting from the dive bar it was when I grew up there. The food was very good, my dad raves about the clam chowder, my wife ordered the bbq sandwich special which she said was very good. My Buffalo chicken wrap was excellent, just the right amount of spice and the veggies where fresh. Tots extra crispy as ordered. They prepare all the food fresh and in house, which is awesome. The wait staff and owners are super friendly and are working to train new staff to keep the service at the high level they expect. We will stop by again when visiting my home town.

If you find yourself, passing through Lexington, on your way through the Blue Mountain Scenic…read moreHighway, stop at Broken Spoke for lunch or a beverage. I am from Heppner (which is 9 miles up the road) , and left three decades ago. Many people have owned this small town establishment over the years; I'm so pleased that the newest owners have retained a much needed watering hole, the entire family can enjoy, in this community. First, the service; friendly, genuine, welcoming, engaging and appreciative. My mother was in town last week, so we decided to come here for dinner. That was the first time for me, after many years of being away from the area. The restaurant was busy, two unexpected birthdays that night and it was remarkably hot for the weather, so many didn't want to cook in their homes. Molly, our waitress and wearer of many hats it appears, was fantastic! She's from the area, so she knew probably everyone in the building, with exception to me. My mother, not being a local anymore, but still is a local... I am not. Molly, truly was so great, I knew I would be back. Second, my meal, so good. I ordered Cajun chicken breast, mashed potatoes and PBR with lime (because it's classy). The chicken was moist, and packed full of flavor. Gravy for the potatoes, lovely. I appreciate when a chef, will season their food. The gravy was lightly seasoned with salt and pepper. (Love that!) So, last night, second time into the restaurant/bar. One table with a couple people seated at it, when I walked in. I sat at the bar, this time I asked my regular bar question; can you make a Manhattan? Since, the Heppner bar disappointed me to a whole new level (see that review), I ask "can you" make... due to Heppner. Molly, "it's been a while, but we will figure it out". 1) the fact she was willing to figure it out, big gold star on her side. 2) I offered to teach her, just the way a bartender explained to me.. "area code for Manhattan, 212... 2 whiskey, 1 sweet vermouth, 2 dashes bitters", (brilliant!) She was receptive. No arrogance. No bullshit ego. (Second big gold star for her). 3) the bar was out of sweet vermouth, she put it on the order for the bar (third big gold star). 4) and here he biggest of gold stars, She suggested, "I can make you an Old Fashioned?". Helz Yess! Manhattan is my drink to sort of test a bar/bartender. Followed by an Old Fashioned (Heppner can't/won't make/learn either drink). My beverage was delicious. She and I talked about the drink, I explained my version I make the sample syrup with a combo of dark brown sugar and pure cane sugar sample syrup. I was hungry; Molly told me special, before I could and was about to ask... "Pork tenderloin, loaded baked potato, and corn on the cob". I was like... get out of my brain! DONE, decision made... PERFECT. It was so exactly what I wanted, without knowing what I wanted. My meal; delicious! The pork, juicy and flavorful. Cooked perfectly. The corn on the cob; sweet and so easy to eat because however it was cooked was perfect. Everything was fantastic. The one table of people, happen to be the newest owners of the establishment; I met them and thanked them for being there and not giving up on this community. LONG STORY SHORT; do yourself and this community a favor; STOP. EAT. Experience the charm and beauty of community. And have an Old Fashioned, their simple syrup is made with pure cane sugar; delicious! Say hi to Molly.

I grew up in Umatilla- class of 1984. I am back in Umatilla twice a year visiting family and…read moretonight was my first time in The Bridge. I have lived in Las Vegas for 11 years and so coming home is a reality check and a stark contrast to my life there - especially when it comes to Shopping and food options (I will forever be a small-town Umatilla girl at heart) My experience at The Bridge tonight was a WOW!!! surprise. I ordered the vegetarian pizza on cauliflower crust, a huckleberry wheat beer and a blackberry lemonade margarita - THIS PLACE IS LEGIT! I loved the decor and ambiance. My server Kim was AMAZING. This will be my go to place on future visits home. Excited to be here for live music.

What a gem in such an unexpected spot. Stopped here for dinner on a road trip, and I was starving…read moreand looking for a burger and a beer. Boy, did I go to the right place. The waitress brought me a cold tap beer immediately and recommended the Beggin' for Bacon burger with truffle oil fries. I went with her recommendation, and she did not steer me wrong. This bad boy (see photo) was a 1/2 lb of beef with bacon mixed in to the patty plus a couple of slices on top. I was in heaven. Their fries are really wonderful, I ate far too many but with a cold beer what can you do? The wait staff was super friendly. She struck up a conversation about the national park on my T-shirt and chatted for a while. Nice. Umatilla is a pretty sad looking town, they are luck to have such a great establishment there.
