    Elkhorn Club & Linda's Thai Room - Hot and Spicy

    Elkhorn Club & Linda's Thai Room

    This is the toughest review I've ever written…read more We arrived in Burns, where there aren't a lot of dining choices, save the Apple Peddler and the McDonald's in neighboring Hines. And because it was a Sunday evening, neither the Pine Room or El Toreo were open. We settled on Linda's Thai Room, located inside the Elkhorn Club bar. The reviews were generally good, although I was a bit skeptical about an Asian restaurant in a small Western town. Much larger cities have trouble offering anything beyond American-Chinese (meaning far from authentic) fare, so I wasn't expecting too much from Linda's. The first thing that greeted us was a sign on the door "WE ONLY ACCEPT CASH OR LOCAL CHECKS," even though there were decals for Visa and Mastercard on the adjoining window. A hand-written sign told a much more somber tale: "My mom and restaurant owner just passed." Going online, I was unable to find out anything about Linda. No feature story from the local newspaper. No restaurant website. Not even a photo of her on the restaurant's Facebook page. Most of the tables inside the small restaurant were filled with plates, serving bowls, glasses and the like. It's like the restaurant was having a rummage sale of things that had been in storage. And it turned out to be true. We sat at the only open table and after being handed menus were told they did not have any noodles or pineapple. That eliminated a number of menu choices. My wife asked the elderly gentleman who was waiting on us (who we later learned was Linda's husband) what was in the Thai fried rice. He looked back at us unable to answer. We suspected he might not have been involved in the operation of the restaurant and was filling in following his wife's death. Kristy ended up ordering pork fried rice. It was the saddest plate of rice I had ever seen. Except for the pork and some sliced tomatoes, there appeared to be no other additions. No mushrooms, no green onions or egg and barely any soy sauce added in. It wasn't very good. I ordered a Thai basil pork dish. It was surprisingly good with pork, Thai basil, garlic and a flavorful sauce. Service was slow. Linda's daughter was the only person in the kitchen, so she had to do it all. From a Facebook post, I learned she had come to Burns from Portland to help her mother when her mom was suffering from medical issues. From the post, the daughter said she didn't want to be there but came to help her mom, while holding down her own full-time job. In another post the daughter said she was overwhelmed by people leaving voice mail messages for orders they expected at a certain time, but for times before she could arrive after her other job and they expected those orders to take priority over people who were dining in. The daughter said she was trying to hold things together until the business could be sold. It's a tough situation for her and her father. I wouldn't wish that kind of grief and stress on anyone. I just hope than everyone who comes in has patience and empathy for a grieving family just trying to make a go of it.

    We were driving through heading back south from Idaho and I yelped some restaurants in the area…read more Not a lot of options and I saw this Thai offering. Very mixed reviews but decided to give it a try. Saw they were closing soon so I called on the way into Burns and first asked if I could still order to go--didn't want to be inconsiderate. They obliged and took my order: the yellow curry with chicken. We pulled into town and I ran in to pick up my order, trying to be mindful that they were closing soon. It looked like they were just then getting started. Not another soul in the place. I stood there for a couple minutes and was told that I may "want to sit down as it's going to be a bit." I took notice of the ample handwritten signage all over the counter. "This is not fast food!" "Thanks for your patience.", etc. and figured it would take a little longer since they were cooking "fresh to order", so they advertise. I can appreciate that. No problem. I asked how long they thought, (15 mins) and said no problem, we would go fuel up the car and use the restroom and be back. We did come back and the food was ready. I was very pleasantly surprised that they had my order in a box with not one (typical of an order of curry) but TWO giant tubs full of curry. Along with a little box of white rice. I was so excited. Where I'm from, the Thai restaurants charge the same amount for less than half. The food was piping hot (tastebuds are still burned, as I couldn't help myself to wait. Haha) it wasn't bad but flavor was lacking a bit. A little bland. It was tasty and comforting but but not spicy at all. If you desire more flavor, order it spicy. It seemed like it was missing something. A certain spice or ingredient, but I couldn't pinpoint it. So like I said, overall: huge portions. Not a ton of flavor. But I will get many meals out of it and I appreciate the generosity. I'd be curious to try the other curries and see if the flavor changes. But I don't plan to be in Burns, OR anytime soon.
