Fabulous! Here's why: * The burgers! My wife and I each got one. It was everything a classic burger can be - juicy, messy, cheesy, and huge! Order one with bacon, it's the best I've ever had someone put on a sandwich (not that burnt rubber that so often seems to end up there instead). * The shakes! I believe my wife and daughter shared an Oreo chunk and I had a peanut butter and blackberry. Rich, thick, creamy, and, again, huge! They do it the old fashioned way and they do it well. * The location! This place really is in the middle of nowhere; we were circumnavigating Steens and knew this place was here but were not expecting the quality we got. To get this kind of meal and find it in a quiet outpost at the end of a 2-3 hour drive was heaven. * The people! Other reviewers seem to take issue with the young staff, but I disagree. They sat us, took our orders quickly and served us food done right. Our meals did take a little longer than other places might, but I get the feeling that when your cafe is between a mountain, a desert, and a whole lot of wide open space, madly churning out orders is probably not the MO. I enjoyed the relaxed feel. If you're in the area, don't miss it! read more

An oasis in the southeastern Oregon desert - literally! Fields is a tiny town on the empty road between Winemucca and the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. Fields Station encompasses a gas station, general store, motel, and lunch counter all in one. After driving around Steens Mountain Loop for much of the day, we were out of gas and hungry. A quick 42 mile drive from our campsite got us to Fields, gas, and a great burger and even better shake. You can't even call it a milkshake, because it's made with a quart of vanilla ice cream and fresh fruit. Mixed on an old school malted mixer and served in a stainless steel tumbler, two tall spoons stood straight up in the delicious concoction. The half pound burger came out with lettuce, tomato, and a thick slice of onion, plus a pile of crispy fries. The two of us were more than filled up splitting one shake and one burger (your appetite may vary!) Friendly staff at the lunch counter and in the store; a single check for gas, a great lunch, and some provisions from the general store for the days ahead. What's not to like! read more

Wish I had had the opportunity to give an honest review. Got here well before closing (close at 5, got here 3:45). Was excited to try a milkshake but apparently their machine spontaneously combusts at 4pm if they don't shut it off? Or is that so they can get out on time? We were denied any shakes and told they could not accommodate us. Can't say I'd go out of my way to try it again, but hopeful they will find this review helpful. Either way, I'd hope a business owner would plan more accordingly for a Memorial Day weekend. read more

I arrived in Fields looking for gas and food. The service was prompt, my tank was immediately filled, and soon thereafter I had probably one of the best meals of my road trip. Is it the best burger on the planet? I'm not sure. But it was truly a great burger. And the milkshake was gargantuan and super tasty. It was the kind of place you can eat until you're full, keep eating till it hurts, and then keep eating until your stomach literally explodes. I hope to have another few meals there when I am back in the winter! read more

Great service,people and milkshakes. If you don't like guns go back to the big city.

Camping/hiking all over the beautiful state of Oregon we started hearing about the burgers and shakes at this place in Sisters, Oregon and were told it was a must! I am so glad we stopped in Fields for a burger and one of the best milkshakes I have ever had! I have read negative reviews about how they carry guns there.....I am not a gun fan myself but was not intimidated or the least bit nervous that they had guns on their side. This place is remote and if I were out there I would probably carry a gun myself! I would go out of my way again to visit Fields Station! Leaving there and driving thru the Steens Mountain on a full belly made for a wonderful day! read more

Great service for NO competition other than Denio Jct in Nevada-which has NO GAS TANKS right now. Propane is available along with tire service. The comely lass, Jaide - Yes she's married- working there said "Some people should just come with a beer so their neediness is easier for the non-needy people to handle!" as she patted her sparkling sidearm...a gift from her ex-marine husband. Open carry state laws were written after need to carry was a way of life. Lions and snakes do come around at times. Not really much, but you get the picture. LOL Real People! Good Food, Gas at the end of civilization at less than 20% over downtown, ignore the whiners who forgot to fill up where they came from. A breakfast hashbrown & sausage mountain you could choke a trucker with, not that many trucks other than cow and hay trucks come thru out here. The motels here do fill without notice with the tourists, opal miners, birders, and hunters each in their seasons. If so its about 2 hours to a town in any direction read more

I went there last year on a bike ride. We got caught in a storm and while they had no rooms, the owner said we could stay under the roof of some construction that was going on. She was awesome! We got there just in time for the burgers and shake. Get there early (4:00, I think, is when the grill closes). I would give this a 5 stars but, as mentioned in one of the reviews, there was a cook that just didn't seem to be in the right business. Wow! She was one rude person. Need to get rid of her or have a good heart to heart talk. Otherwise, great place and very nice people (minus one). Given that, yes, I plan on going back this year and recommend it to anyone going to SE Oregon. read more

Spent the night at Fields Station motel and had a burger and milkshake at the café, wish we hadn't done either, it was a huge disappointment. Everything was served with an attitude and any requests were denied. The rooms were dirty with windows that did not lock (no security). Entertainment was swatting flies that came through the holes in the screens. Our hope is that this review will help someone make a better decision than we made. read more

This place is definitely out of the way ,but well worth it .I think the milkshake may have been the best I've ever had , and the cheeseburger was fantastic! Throw in friendly service and I can easily recommend read more

If you ever find yourself in this particular part of Southeastern Oregon then you have to stop by Fields Station, no literally, if you don't stop here you won't see another store for hours. Luckily the food and service is pretty decent. I would say the "famous" milkshakes everyone talks about were good, but a little overhyped. All in all a great experience. read more

I'm sitting in Virgin Valley, NV wondering if the Fields Station service station sells propane. These Yelp reviews are a great resource for those unfamiliar with specific locations. Over time I've become so used to Googling info that I forget that telephones are still useful tools. Others reviewers haven't mentioned much about the service station at Denio, home of "famous" Denio Burgers. That's a long "i" in Denio. One must be aware that the Denio gas station may be out of gasoline at any one time. Depending on a gas station out in northern Nevada or southern Oregon for gasoline can be dangerous. Also, cell service is poor out here. Oh yes; I don't remember if Denio sells diesel. I think it does. Back to Fields, or Fields Station; it's a great resource for camping supplies and fuel in an area of few other choices (like none). read more

Surprisingly spacious and clean rooms right next to a restaurant with satisfying food and near naturally beautiful areas with plenty of wildlife! Sandy, one of the owners, was very helpful and friendly. read more

This used to be a great place to eat and get fuel. The owners were great people and took pride in the business, but it looks like there is someone new running the place now and not doing so well. Well heres the experience- interior has been changed for the worse, a lame attempt at a beer bar has been installed, upkeep and cleanliness is ok, staff was unimpressionable, used foul language, and was more worried about their personal business than the customers. Food was a 2.5 out of 10, and the coffee was made with alkali tap water which made it un-drinkable, probably hands down the worst coffee I've ever had, and yes I've had authentic jailhouse JO! In conclusion I hate to leave a bad but honest review like this, but maybe it will motivate them to get back to the way that they used to be, love this place and hate to see it in this condition. read more

I don't ever write reviews, and I really don't want to tell other people about this place, but man, they deserve a shout-out. This is a special place, with warm, open people, laughter, beauty in spades, and some of the best damn home-cooked food you'll ever eat. Go there, be nice, and thank the universe that places like this still exist. read more

Best milkshakes in Harney County. Stopped in at the Fields Station after a tough morning of antelope hunting. The gals at the store were so kind and pleasant. Ordered a peanut butter milkshake with a pump of chocolate. I couldn't even finish it because there was so much ice cream!! By far the best milkshake I've had in my life. Cute little store with a lot of old charm to it. Would definitely recommend heading there if you're ever out in the Steens! read more

I had been there a month earlier in Dec. and wanted to bring my wife back for 39th anniversary lunch while camping in Feb. We drove 4 hours from Boise to do this. Within the first 30 seconds of walking in the guy that either owns or runs the place talked us out of lunch with a surly reply and sour face to my question of "are you cooking lunch?" Ok, skip lunch, so we thought to order one of those great shakes we'd read about. 10 seconds later after another one word reply from him, well lets get those to go, we don't eat or drink in rotten company. Before we could hardly taste those shakes he gave me a piece of his mind when I mentioned we'd parked right next to Bog Hot Springs, never mind the other side of the road was a muddy mess. If this is called western hospitality I guess I haven't lived in the west my whole life. I've never been chastised while voluntarily giving someone my business and money when I can and will surely drive on by next time...While he was heavy into the condesending preaching to us we got up, paid and walked out, leaving those shakes with a heavy bitter taste to them right on the counter. read more

Stay clear of Fields Station.! The food is average, but it's also a bar with plenty of drinking going on. Everyone is carrying guns and I saw a few assault rifles. It's not hunting season and it's in the middle of nowhere, so what are they protecting themselves from? I own guns but not to show off. We made the mistake of booking a room there and paid before we saw it. Yikes, it was the worst and we are not that fussy! We left with no refund then drove over a 100 miles to Lakeview and stayed there. Lakeview is really nice so skip Fields and go there. read more

Real Americana, it's like stopping at a old Route 66 roadside stop. Great food and hospitality.

Great breakfast, great service, great experience! Never seen anything like it in Oregon and it reminded me of my moms restaurant in Montana when I was little. Wish I could have tried the milkshakes but it was 9am so .... I chose a hearty breakfast instead. read more

This place has a surprising amount of beers on tap and the cafe served up really good milkshakes. The burgers were also way above average, which makes it kind of spectacular tasting, considering you're in the middle of nowhere. A true oasis! You may even be greeted by mayor Thaddeus, if you're lucky. read more

What a great little place. We stayed overnight at the little motel. It was clean and comfortable. We ate at the little cafe and we can confirm all the great reviews about the food and the incredible milkshakes. But as with all of the small places we explored in Eastern Oregon, it is the fabulous people that provide our most delight. Son's and daughter's of ranchers and farmers, hard working, helpful, honest. In our world it's easy to forget that there are still a whole community of great folks out there. read more

Ms. Sandra Downs is the secret ingredient that keeps Fields Station running like a well-oiled machine. I was there last week with a group of Geography students from Nevada. She was pumping gas, running the store, managing the restaurant, working the cash register, seeing to the mail, and conversing with half a dozen customers at a time. She is a marvel of efficiency...I'll bet that she could manage a wall street brokerage house...but she always has a smile and a kind word of welcoming for both friends and strangers a like. When I worked in the area in the 1970s, Sandra and Tom weren't there yet, that's too bad, because I am sure that it would have been the place away from home (Pullman, WA at the time) that I would have gone to feel at home. Kudos to Sandra Downs, the grande dame of Fields Station. I hope to see you again sometime. Thanks again for the warm smile, and hand shake, and the help you gave to my kids.

Please ignore the reviews that say they dislike a tourist trap but then complain because they don't get one. Fields Station is America. 100% small town hospitality easy going and in no hurry. I had heard of the Hamburgers and milk shakes they serve . They did not disappoint. Usually my brother and I travel around the Olympic Peninsula on our yearly scenic, exploring, bird watching and fishing expeditions so this year we went in the opposite direction toward the Steens Mountain area. The Catlow Valley is beautiful as you approach Fields Station. The reward for the long drive was the food and people at Fields. The beer is sold in iced glasses which made it even more appetizing. My brother made the mistake of ordering a Burger of some sorts which must have taken up the good portion of a quarter beef to make. Along with a salad topped with two peppers of some sort that he devoured. I was disappointed in my Chocolate Malt Milkshake because I had to eat it with a spoon! (sarcasm noted) It was perfect. Oh did I mention the beer? Oh did I mention the friendliness of everyone from the staff to the visiting motorcycle group from New York to the two lady bird watchers from San Francisco and the couple who had passed thru the day before but had to return just for the same meal they had previously? If you want the real America go to Fields Station and don't forget to buy two charms. One a hamburger charm and the other a milkshake charm for the staggeringly high price of a dollar apiece. I bought one each for my wife's charm bracelet just to remind her of what a great place Fields Oregon is. Mitch and Steve G. Brothers on a mission read more

The fields station may be a small establishment in one of the smallest towns in Oregon, but don't let their size fool you. What they lack in size they make up for with by far the finest quality customer service that anyone could ask for. GREAT food served in large portions, prepared perfectly to your request every time and the BEST milkshakes you will ever have the pleasure of consuming. The owners and employees are a tight knit group of family and close friends, and run like a well oiled machine, thus making the business thrive and together thriving to make your customer experience as satisfactory as possible. You will always feel like a welcomed member of the community. The majority of the people who work at the Fields Station proudly stand by the constitution in excersising their right to bear arms, and because of this you will ALWAYS feel safe and protected. The people of The Fields Station are valued and cherished members of the community and we very much appreciate their dedication to running such a successful business. If I could rate this place with 100 stars I would. Don't miss out on stopping by the Fields Station, you will NOT be disappointed! Oh, and be sure to give the cute blonde boy, (son of employee) Thaddius, a high five! read more

food was good, not as good as rome station, but rome has problems of there own. plenty of supplies, Motel was very clean and nice, people where friendly, would stay again. read more
