After spending the morning hiking, we were pooped and hungry and on our way back to Crescent City, this place appeared like an oasis on the side of the road. The food was delicious and the folks working there were very welcoming. And who doesn't love a cute old-school diner! So if you're in the area and wondering if you should stop there, the answer is yes, you totally should.

We figured we might get a decent diner lunch. We ended up liking it so much that we came back the next day. The staff greeted us warmly and told us to sit anywhere. The place has the feel of a small-town roadside diner, with a counter, a handful of tables and even a petting zoo next door. It was clean and well kept, with locals and travelers eating side by side. I ordered the Klamath cheeseburger, and my spouse chose a breakfast with fry bread after seeing a photo of it. Then a tall, fluffy pancake arrived at the next table, and we wondered if we'd ordered the wrong thing. We hadn't. The portions were generous, my burger was delicious, and my spouse loved the fry bread. Even the tater tots stood out: crunchy outside and creamy inside. We went back the following day to try what we'd missed. I had the chicken fry bread taco, which reminded me of a cholupa (but better) My spouse finally got the pancake breakfast, along with a peanut butter milkshake. The portions were just as generous, the food was delicious and the staff was every bit as friendly. If we're back in the area, we won't have to search Yelp for lunch. We'll be heading straight to the Log Cabin.

In many respects, Log Cabin provides a typical diner experience: the same plates of eggs, hash…read morebrowns, and sausage gravy, large portions, and the ever present table side jam collection. But in other ways, they've managed to distinguish themselves from the rest (and that's not counting the two emus they have outside). They offer two relatively uncommon dishes: fry bread, which comes in a shareable size topped with cinnamon sugar, and a giant pancake. The emphasis is really on the cake, as this behemoth is over an inch tall and probably owes its perfectly cylindrical shape to a cake mold. Order just one at a time! The rest of the offerings are rather standard, but they are still quite enjoyable. You'll leave stuffed, that's for sure.

So tasty! We'll definitely be back!

Showed up at 7pm on a Wednesday night, place was more than half empty with only one waitress and the bartender working, so short staffed but again not terribly busy. We waited up front for 10 minutes to be seated made eye contact with both employees working several times, not a hi, hello, be with you shortly or seat yourself just ignored. The bartender was next to the door talking to someone who had way too much to drink and could have easily excused herself to say something. So we spoke to a table waiting to pay and they said some people sat themselves so we grabbed a few menus and sat ourselves. I get it, they're short staffed but an acknowledgement goes a long way. We sat, the waitress walked by our table 7 times, didn't even acknowledge us....at this point we'd been there 30 minutes. Again we put up with it due to it being the only place to eat, finally my husband flagged the waitress which forced her to stop and acknowledge us. We ordered two pizzas and water kept it super simple. We waited another 30 minutes, no water no food. At this point we saw several People leave and come back later to pay since they were tired of waiting, same with people who were sat down but no one came to take their order so they left. We are not the type of people to see an understaffed place and be troublesome, we understand and give extra grace but the lack of acknowledgement, attention, service at all was a slap in the face and to top it off the food was terrible. Either properly staff it or train your staff to be more politely and communicative. We later went to another restaurant just as busy only two employees and they were wonderful! Attentive, greeted us, told us to seat ourselves, came as soon as possible, apologized for the delay and it all makes a difference. Food was great, service was phenomenal and we didn't mind the wait due to having someone with social skills. Do better!

Paragon manages to be cozy and welcoming while still feeling incredibly cool. By the looks of it, everyone from newborns to retirees hangs out here, and somehow they're all stylish. It's such an eclectic mix of people and has that neighborhood coffeehouse energy where you immediately understand why people become regulars. I ordered one of their signature drinks, the Van Pan latte, while John stuck with his classic vanilla latte. Both were delicious, the staff was incredibly friendly, and they even treated our pup Blu to a pup cup. Then came the ham and cheese croissant. We ordered ONE to share on the road. Took our first bites, looked at each other and immediately realized sharing was no longer an option. We went back and ordered a second one. Yes, it is that crispy. What was supposed to be a quick coffee stop turned into coffee, breakfast and one of those places we were genuinely sad to leave. Great drinks, great food, genuinely warm service and an atmosphere that makes you want to hang around. Easy 5/5. If we lived nearby, I already know we'd be regulars.

Your name will be called for that as well. A coffee counter is on the back wall where you will find sweeteners. A place to put dirty dishes is also in this area.
