If you're in La Grande, Oregon, make time to be served at the icon: Nell's-N-Out Drive-thru. Pride and excellence show up in every order. The burgers are wrapped just right, the fries are hot and fresh, choose your favorite, all placed gently into a crisp paper bag and folded with care, simple, classic, perfect. The drink menu delivers, and the Huckleberry shake is absolutely a must try. Best of all, the ambiance is whatever you make it. It's pick up only, so maybe it's enjoyed in the comfort of your car with the windows down, or maybe you make it all the way home. If it lasts that long.

For decades, I have heard people rave about the Haines Steak House. Fans were devastated when the…read morerestaurant burned down in the late 1980s but elated when the then-owner rebuilt and returned it to its previous renown through the Pacific Northwest. Over the Labor Day weekend, our group of six was camping at Union Creek, between Baker City and Sumpter and decided to drive the short distance to Haines to eat at the steakhouse. We expected steakhouse prices, so that wasn't an issue. But those were the smallest portions I've ever seen. I based my observation through comparisons with Chandlers in Boise, the RingSide and Saylor's Old Country Kitchen in Portland and St. Elmo Steak House in Indianapolis. I ordered the beef sampler, which included brisket, ribs and prime rib. It truly was a sampler. There was hardly any meat. The ribs came with barbecue sauce but the brisket and prime rib didn't seem seasoned at all, which meant they didn't have much flavor. And with the prime rib, they wouldn't let me choose a temperature. What I got was medium rare. That was a new one for me, to take what they brought me. The baked potato must have come from Oregon. It certainly wasn't one of the massive bakers Idaho is known for. Again, based on other steakhouses I have eaten at, the potato was very small. My wife ordered prime rib, medium, and what she got was also medium rare. Maybe it only comes in one temperature! The salad bar was a throwback to the 1950s and '60s. Uninspired lettuce, but a large selection of add-ons and dressings. I hadn't seen Catalina dressing in decades, but they had it! The honey mustard I opted for was good. I don't care for old-style chili they served but my wife said it was good. Likewise, one of our companions said the baked beans were very good. Our waitress brought an extra basket of cowboy bread, which was good. She also brought a refill carafe of Pepsi for one of our guests and me. That was nice. It took a long time for our orders to come out from the kitchen. With a party of six, that's understandable, but it would have been nice if our waitress had checked in and given us a status report while we waited. Overall, we were disappointed. After we got back, an Internet search revealed the restaurant was for sale and was in closing. Maybe the Johnson family got tired and that's the reason we didn't have the stellar experience we anticipated. Hopefully, the new owners will return the Haines Steak House to its previous glory.

Man, how to review this place?…read more First of all, I want to give a disclaimer. I'm not a local. We stopped for dinner here when we were driving through Baker City and had stopped for the night. We did a Google search for a place in Baker City that was kid friendly. And eagle Cap grill is one of the options that came up. This is definitely a local establishment. If you're looking for an option that isn't a chain restaurant. We had a good time at the eagle Cap grill. However, I wouldn't say it's exactly kid friendly. Don't get me wrong, everybody was super sweet with our kids, but there aren't any extra accommodations for small children, if that makes sense. Like some breweries have outdoor play areas, or there's room to run around, or they have like kids menus with crayons, etc. The food that we got at eagle Cap grill was good, although I wouldn't say that it was great. It was about what I would expect from a traditional American diner. Also, the layout of the interior of the restaurant is very cramped. I appreciate that they were full, and good for them by the way, but I was basically eating dinner with the table next to me while I was eating dinner with my family. They're also wasn't any room to move around inside the restaurant. So there was one point where my wife got up to take one of my daughters to the bathroom, and it ended up being an awkward maneuver to do so. The service was excellent, everyone was friendly. Absolutely no complaints there. Honestly, the biggest thing that brings this down to a four-star review, was the price. Look, I understand times are hard, I understand restaurant margins are super slim, however, I spent over $50 for two entrees. We didn't get any food for my kids, don't worry they ate from my wife's and my meals, and it still cost over $50. And that was before tip. So again, I'm willing to pay a little bit extra to eat at a local establishment, I'm willing to pay a little bit extra for food that isn't mass produced, but it can't be twice as expensive, can it? Anyway, we really did like this place. And would definitely come back if we were going back through Baker city.

We decided we were tired of the national chains and wanted to do something local. A quick scan of the Yelp app and we were headed for Burger Bobs! We arrived to a charming old time burger stand. No tables inside or out, you either take it with you or tailgate. The owner warned us it would be about 25 minutes for food because they were backed up. We deeply appreciated the warning! Tired of the road we decided to wait and do some walking around. The Tax Deduction ordered the Steak Fries and I decided to try the Super Burger with fries. The menu is really complete, everything you can think of, see the photos. Talking to the owners we learned this building started as a Arctic Circle burger joint in 1960. They seem to be the second owners of the building. There is evidence of their support for local community events and schools on the walls and windows, which I think is awesome. Our food was great, we really loved the fresh fries and the burger was perfect in every way. The steak fries were loaded with steak chunks and had plenty of fries. It is a ways off the Interstate, you have to be looking for this place, and willing to eat in the elements or in the car. But, if you choose to, you will be rewarded with great service, great food and owners who truly appreciate the business.
