There were 12 in our group, and there was a table large enough to accommodate all of us. We went on a Friday night which is the evening Prime Rib is served. We were served a nice portion of meat, red potatoes and a choice of clam chowder or green salad. Our server was very efficient making sure we were all happily satisfied. We will go back because there are other things to try on the menu.

Tired of camp food so we came here for dinner. Looked cool from the outside. Walked in and it was…read morecool and very causal inside. There was no signage to seat yourself or wait. No one approached so we grabbed a table. Waitress came quickly for drinks and I ordered a very nice hazy ipa. I won't review my wife's Diet Coke. Placing our food order took some time. I was starting to get that uncomfortable, did she forget about us, feeling. She apologized when she walked up for taking so long, so all is forgiven. Food took awhile to prepare. Didn't seem that busy, but maybe short handed on a Saturday night. Well she showed up to collect bill and I had to tell her we didn't get our food yet. Opps. I think our waitress was new, so all good on wait times But when my Ruben came it was dry. I let her know they forgot to put on the thousand island so she went to kitchen and found out they ran out. Really...send out a dry sandwich with a missing key ingredient. They offered to run to store. Right. I'd be done by the time they came back. I kinda made my own with Mayo and ketchup. That helped. The thing that saved this from a 2 star review is my wife loved her magareta flatbread. Options are limited in town. This might be a much better place on another day and time.

People age, operatots change. Life moves in. We were sure we had stopped here in Canyon City, but something was different. It's the Squeeze-in, with new paint and theme. We added an egg to the Special. We split meals. Our one giant pancake was split into two big pancakes, courtesy of our server and the cook. Bravo! Our coffee was tefilled as needed. Our breakfast filled us up. We were pleased. We will return.

So you're not going to go wrong with a steak. The prime rib here will put a smile on your face unless you have your heart set on gluten free tofu or something. They also have a friendly bar that is mostly locals but so long as you don't sit there with your big city snowflake attitude you'll find the folks at the next table or barstool to be friendly enough. I always enjoy reading the picky, whiny negative reviews over trivial complaints posted by these butthurt children. Want to know why the locals don't like you? Try not being so whiny. These ranchers, farmers and blue collar types work for a living at jobs you wouldn't last five minutes at. Have some respect. I like John Day. Not my favorite little burb in Eastern Oregon but it beats the pants off of downtown Portland. I also like the townies. Well, I tend to like anyone who has a weathered face and hands that have done real work but that's just me. As a Veteran I am always treated well out here. Seems like I'm always sitting next to some Marine at the bar who's eaten some of the same dirt that I did. If you want to be treated well by strangers, try being more respectful. You are in their playpen so park your attitude in the trunk of your Prius before you head inside. I'm already salivating over my next return trip for a real man meal here!

Good meal for the price. Service can be a little slow but it gets done. There is a full liquor bar and pool tables in another room. The menu is extensive with lots to choose from. Sadly their menu isn't shown on yelp so no one knows the great food available. I'm posting lots of pictures to help. The fried Mushrooms are crunchy outside and Juicy inside. A good appetizer. I would eat here again if I get back this way. Enjoy

But was greatly surprised when I walked into the store. It would give the Safeway and Fred Meyer in my hometown in Florence Oregon a run for their money. First of all the service with a cashiers, and the stockers is exquisite you ask them a question and you get a sensible, friendly helpful answer that must reflect on management. THEN the range or selection of products and the amount of organic products that included is exciting and encouraging. I got my products but then did a tour of the store and was just overly impressed. Everything you need for daily life. Do yourself a favor even if you don't need anything go visit Chester Chester's market you'll be pleasantly surprised. I highly recommend shopping there or just visiting to buy snacks or things to nibble on.

My tour guide was a tall guy, unfortunately, I cannot remember his name. He was very informative about the museum and about the home. I felt sad at one point because the last person to own the home/business, went for a simple procedure and unfortunately passed away. You can still see the date he left on the calendar. The museum was very informative and some of the patient letters were very touching. This is a very nice gym within the small town of John date. Also, when you go into the reception center/gift shop you will see all of the items people have found in their yards that date back to the early 1900s. I highly recommend visiting the museum with a guided tour.

An important piece of Oregon and Chinese history, a must see!…read more I felt very fortunate to have visited the Kam Wah Chung Museum on my recent trip to Oregon. Seeing how the early Chinese settlers came to the US under harsh working environment, racial discrimination, language barriers and away from their families made me realized how resilient and strong of all these Chinese men. Being part Chinese and an immigrant myself, I could relate to some of their struggles. Located in John Day on the main street, this musem contains two parts. The first part is the museum with glass cased exhibits with illustration of early Chinese settlers and brief descriptions of the lives of Doc Hay and Lung On. The second part of the museum is only available as a guided tour, where you can enter the living quarter and pharmacy of Doc Hay and Lung On. I highly recommend taking the guided tour of the living quarter/pharmacy of Doc Hay and Lung On, as the staff tried to preserve all the original details back in its days. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, and she mentioned each single detail (down to mouse trap) in the house. The front of the house contains a red chair that Doc Hay would take your pulse and determine your health, with the pharmacy right behind his chair. We also saw Doc Hay's bedroom, common kitchen, sleeping quarters and Lung On's room. The most striking part of the tour was when guide mentioned how the Chinese settlers had to lock themselves in every evening to avoid getting shot by drunk white people. They also set up a water pump inside (vs. outside) of the house to avoid leaving the safety of the premise. Despite the harsh circumstances, I saw many posters on the walls of spending good time with friends and making huge fortunes. I admired their optimism and hard work under such extenuating circumstances. Overall, this is an important part of Oregon and Chinese history that you should definitely see. It is wonderful to see deliberate efforts are made to feature the contribution of minorities to the US history. It is also heartwarming and yet bittersweet to witness the obstacles our ancestors overcame to give better lives to future generations. Inspirational and highly recommend!
