Food: 4/5 Food is always decent. Good portions. Savory and filling. Service: 4/5 They're always pretty busy but find a way to fit you in. Staff is generally pretty nice but can sometimes be forgetful since it's so busy. Ambiance: 5/5 Nice view outside

We were visiting a wedding venue viewing on Sunday & was looking for a place for breakfast while we wait for the viewing to occur & chose this place. I am saddened to say I don't remember coming here several years back - per my husband- but I can say I won't forget again. This place is an absolute gem! Luckily we got there early (opens at 0600 - got there around 0800) because after we sat down, it had a constant flow of traffic. Our party of 5 was sat quickly & order taken just as fast. In Oregon, they can't serve alcohol until after 0700 and when I saw their mimosa options I was get happy. I went with the standard mimosa while my husband went for the dole whip option. They were both excellent & priced well. We split the special eggs Benedict which had great flavor& presentation but the egg was over done which was slightly disheartening. I got a side of bacon to go (for my puppies) and cinnamon roll to go as well. I was full but couldn't go without it ! It didn't disappoint and sure would have been better if eaten there directly. Overall the menu is expansive and I will be back to try more options! If in the area, I would highly recommend stopping & giving it a shot

Ham and cheese omelette

It was delicious. Chunked him that was not too big or too small and not a boatload of cheese that would make you choke. The house potatoes were well seasoned, could go without the bell pepper in them, but overall good. The waitress and staff were all super nice and we were seated quickly and got our food quickly as well. The only downside is that is expensive for a breakfast restaurant, however, most places in Hood River are.

Definitely not marionberry pie
Jillian C.

Plenty of parking in a lot across the street and pleasant staff. I'm sure the breakfast experience is amazing but I ended up here in the evening. Food was ok but ordered a slice of marionberry pie and was given strawberry rhubarb. When I pointed it out to our waitress, her exact response was "But the cook said it was marionberry." Not the end of the world, but definitely annoying as it was not what I ordered and also didn't taste good.

Delicious food!! Sometimes there's a wait but it's always worth it, they have redone the menu a few years ago and all the new dishes are fantastic

Classic breakfast diner environment, friendly and attentive staff with large portions of food. Everything was comforting and pleasant.

food was really good. all the chicken and rooster decor was really cute. the service was not the best, but it was a busy weekend morning. we had to keep asking for specific items multiple times before they brought them. so just be prepared to be a little patient, but the view from the window is enough to make up for it.

Corned beef hash and eggs with breakfast potatoes

Servers were very nice and let us sit on the patio. Food was great. Corned beef hash made in house with veggies mixed in. Eggs just the way we like them. The view from the restaurant across the Columbia is awesome. Banana waffle we destroyed.

mimosa special

Excellent comfort food with a cozy vibe I came here solo on a Sunday around 11 am, so it was packed, but the staff did a great job keeping up. The bartender was knowledgeable and thorough, which was much appreciated!

Chile Relleno Breakfast Tacos were so worth the wait. 5 stars for the mole alone.
Andrew C.

Any decent breakfast spot is guaranteed to be crowded on a weekend in Hood River, and Egg River, due to its proximity to downtown, is definitely on that list. Still our wait wasn't terribly long, and was worth it. My Chile Relleno breakfast tacos were an absolute flavor bomb, with the chorizo stuffed peppers playing off the mole rojo like long lost friends, smoky with just the right amount of heat. Nice portion size, too. As you probably guessed, you can get almost any egg-influenced dish you can think of here, from scrambles to omelets to Benedict's and beyond, and it all looked so good coming out of the kitchen (we were sitting right by it). The place is definitely cozy inside, like a small cabin with a diner vibe, with a bunch of wooden tables and booths scattered throughout and kitschy signs and tchotchkes tucked into the corners, but it is definitely cheery. As I mentioned, it gets pretty crowded on weekends and parking is tight, so get there early. Despite the hubbub, our server was efficient and friendly, so there's a very good chance we'll be back. Count me as a happy customer.

Do they take reservations?

No, they do not. This is a breakfast/lunch joint that is primarily known for their breakfasts. I have always gone a little bit late for breakfast or early for lunch and still had breakfast. I haven't had a problem getting in.

Little did I know that this gem of a place would be where I'd find myself. I was surprised by the weather, surprised by the drive, surprised by the toll bridge, surprised by the parking, surprised by the quality of the coffee, food, and pastry, surprised by the woman whose truck I jump started, surprised by the words of encouragement scribbled all over the restroom walls, surprised by the beauty of it all. Surprised that I found those fleeing feelings of gratitude again. Thank you, Lord, for these beautiful surprises.

My go-to is spicy sausage with Mama Lila's peppers, onions and tomatoes plus the standard eggs & cheese. It is soooo good! Just writing about it is making me want one! This quaint, little coffee shop on West Steuben, the main street in Bingen a small town east of White Salmon, is filled with so much goodness. In addition to all the standard coffee drinks and the aforementioned awesome breakfast burrito, they have bagels and bagel sandwiches, avocado toast, breakfast handpies, and several muffins, scones and pastries. For a small, neighborhood shop they offer a lot of goodness! When I'm out exploring the WA side of the Columbia Gorge or going for a walk at Catherine Creek Trails, I often stop here afterwords and recommend you do the same!

Rude and curt workers, okay coffee…read more I visited this spot for coffee about a week ago, and I'm still confused and thinking about how poorly I was treated while I was there. The girl that took my order was very condescending and rude. When my friend asked about a specialty drink that was written on the board, she acted like she didn't know what she was talking about. After my friend got through her order, she gestured to me. The barista rudely said "I can't take her order I need to focus on finishing yours first" and she walked away. I hadn't even said a word yet and she was already barking at me. It was just such an odd interaction. A different lady ended up stepping in to take my order. When I finally got my coffee, the original barista rolled her eyes, put it on the counter, and in the most monotonous tone told me to have a good day. I left feeling so confused as to why someone is working a customer service job that clearly doesn't want to talk or interact with people at all. There was also a very snarky laminated sign right by the counter where they serve drinks that had a bulleted list of things like "do NOT STARE at the baristas, we are trying to focus. Do NOT linger in this area. STAY BACK" etc etc. The whole tone and vibe of this place was negative and I couldn't wait to get out of there.

Their beer flights come with 6 pours each and it's served in a tall sail (or sharkfin?) shaped tower, each choice is labeled so you know what you're drinking. Their burger with bacon tomato jam was a 10/10! So much flavor and the bun was fresh and lightly buttered and toasted (this really takes it up a notch!). The meat was very tender and lots of flavor (tasted high quality). It's served with a heaping order of fries (or you can upcharge it for $2 and do salad, soup or sweet potato fries). Their chicken wings were tender and came off the bones easily while still having crispy edges. Perfection. After a swim in the river across the street, this place is a chill spot for good food, beer and service. They have indoor seating with views and outdoor seating as well. Inside was nice and cool on a hot day. I'm already looking forward to the next visit!
