Yes, that is an emu next door
Victor M.

We were visiting the Redwoods and Prairie State Parks and wanted to stop in Klamath to go through their Drive-thru tree. Across the street is a delightful local diner that is also right off Hwy 101 with the friendliest of people. The place had a good size crowd for a late lunch hour so we knew that the food had to be good here. The food was absolutely worth the stop. I had the cabin burger which is a BBQ burger with cheese that melted in my mouth and was as tasty as ever. The sweet potato fries were cooked to perfection. Another one of us had the chicken fried steak which was a deep fried juicy pork loin which was incredible. Portions were certainly generous and worth the price. Overall, the patrons appeared to be very satisfied and happy diners and understandably as the food and service were excellent. If I lived in the area, I would probably eat breakfast and lunch every day at the Log Cabin Diner! And be sure to check out the emus next door!!

We drove down today from CC for breakfast and honestly did not expect the kind service and really good food. The pancaked were pretty great, the kind with the crispy edges but super thick and fluffy. We enjoyed the food only downside was the wait, with one cook anytime you gave more than three tables it can get backed up.

Burgers, sandwiches, hoagies

Oh Yum!!! What a gem in the tiny town of Klamath. The diner is directly off the 101 and you will miss it if not keeping an eye out. It is ran by wonderful ladies that have quick wit and make you comfortable the second you walk in the door. Great home style cooking with fresh ingredients. The diner is clean and well appointed. They are obviously proud of what they have. Ample parking is available and there is counter seating along with a small front and larger rear dining room. We will definitely return if in the area again.

Excellent service from Sheri and just as wonderful food, we came in on a rainy morning in march to a lovely diner ready to serve and bring out a smile. The small homey feel of the diner has logging and fishing ambiance from its rich historic past. Highly recommended this this establishment if you're coming through the area.

Almost perfect Eggs Benedict, high praise as I'm crazy picky. Sorry, dove right in before realizing I might want to recommend it to others.

Ate here this afternoon after parking in their lot and walking up to the 'tour thru tree'. I was hungry for french fries, so I schmoozed hubby to pop in for just fries & a drink. Well, we were greeted as if we were regulars by the adorable curly blonde lady (embarrassed I've already forgotten her name). I smelled the coffee and had to have a cup, which turned into a pot by the time I left! Hubby was thrilled to discover breakfast is served all day, so we decided to eat a meal instead of just fries. Hubby ordered the French Toast full breakfast. I'm extremely picky about Eggs Benedict, but decided to give it a whirl. I was thrilled with my choice to risk it...they were close to perfect. The hollandaise was wonderful and the eggs were great, the yolk a tiny bit too 'done', but still great. Hubby scarfed his down...when asked how it was, he said 'great'! We interacted with both servers & they were both so kind. I felt like we were regulars, which I adore! My only regret is that we have been staying in a near-ish campground for the last 2 weeks and just now found this spot! We leave for Oregon tomorrow, so we won't be back for a couple years...had we found this place sooner, we would be leaving several pounds heavier, as I figure the rest of the menu is just as tasty! Big huge plus on the friendly staff!

Country fried steak and eggs with toast and hash

The food, service, and ambience of this little diner is the best in the town! So glad we decided to stop by for breakfast after our hike. Definitely 10/10 recommend if you are in the area. The food: I ordered the Clam Chowder with a side salad and received a thoughtful cup of dried cranberries and dressing on the side which I so appreciated!); the clam chowder was very meaty and full of flavor--this was exactly what I needed after our rainy and cold morning hike! So delish! I would definitely order this again or even an extra to go. My husband ordered the country fried steak and eggs over easy along with toast and hash. Everything was perfectly made. This was also the first time we've seen pork chop used for this dish and were very surprised how moist the pork chop was! We ordered The Cabin burger for my son and he said this was his favorite dish/burger for the entire trip! So good! For my little guy, we ordered the kids cheeseburger with fries--my photo is the fries partially eaten already because he was so hungry he couldn't wait for me to take a food picture (lol). I didn't take a photo of the other dishes, but everyone did agree this was our favorite stop of the trip! The service: We were greeted and accommodated right away. The ladies running the shop were kind, respectful, and attentive. We were a group of 12 (6 kids and 6 adults) but that wasn't a problem. There was a long wait for the food, but we didn't mind since we knew there was only one chef and 12 of us--we were also checked on frequently and we always received refills for our coffee and drinks. We were asked each time if there was anything else we needed while we waited for our food. The chef even offered to redo our bacon for us if we'd like since it was a little on the crispy side, but that was exactly how our kids preferred their bacon--so kind and attentive! The ambience: This little diner is the perfect quiet and secluded small town stop. It wasn't packed and it felt really relaxed. The extra touch of emu and hummingbirds outdoors gave this diner an extra special vibe, too! Absolutely recommend stopping by and eating here.

We were on vacation in Arcata seeing the redwoods when we decided to drive up into the mountains. We had been driving for over an hour and were getting pretty hungry (as was our 9 yo). Upon review of our available options we decided to try out the Log Cabin Diner in Klamath. We were not disappointed. Overall the food was good and the service was great. We had the biscuits and gravy and our son had the chili (a bold move). We are just about everything they put in front of us. None of it was exceptionally great food but it sure hit the spot. The best part for us was the emus they have in a field next to the restaurant. They were walking along the fence line right behind us and were a lot of fun to watch. If you find yourself up in the mountains and need a bit to eat then this is the place for you.

Scrambled Eggs, hash browns, sausage and biscuits with gravy.
Steven R.

While visiting the Redwood State Parks, we had breakfast here twice. The food here tastes homemade and the service is great! My wife enjoyed her Eggs Benedict, my daughter enjoyed her pancakes and all of us enjoyed the eggs and Hash Browns. Coffee was hot and our food came out quickly. We rarely go back to the same restaurant twice when on vacation so this place is unique. If you stop by, ask for some bread to feed the emus!

Biscuits & Gravy

Great service and food!! Ordered the Chicken Fried Steak & Biscuits and Gravy was so amazing. Portions are generous! Didn't need to add salt or pepper flavor was on point. Coffee was so delicious! Staff shared photos and stories. Love this place!

Highly recommend this small town diner. All day breakfast, great customer service, and the food hit the spot. Thanks, Ms. Rachel; my son really enjoyed feeding your emu.

The place was super busy when I arrived there were people waiting outside, which is always a good sign but since I was dining solo, I got seated right away with no wait at all. The atmosphere inside is warm, cozy, and welcoming, with really cool décor featuring cars and car photos that give the restaurant personality and a fun, nostalgic vibe. It feels comfortable rather than fancy, the kind of place where you can relax, sip your coffee, and enjoy your food without feeling rushed. I ordered the shrimp and Swiss cheese omelette with jalapeño, and it was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and perfectly cooked. The portion was generous, and it came out piping hot and surprisingly fast considering how busy they were. The coffee was amazing too rich, fresh, and exactly what you want with a hearty breakfast. What really stood out was the service. The servers were attentive, friendly, and on top of everything despite the crowd. They made sure coffee stayed filled, checked in at the right moments, and kept things moving smoothly without making it feel rushed or chaotic. Another big plus: the prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality and portion sizes. It's rare to find a place that balances great food, fast service, cozy ambiance, and affordability this well. Overall, I'd easily rate it around 4.5 stars. If you're driving along Highway 101 or anywhere near Brookings, this spot is absolutely worth the stop. It's busy for a reason great food, great vibe, and great service all in one place.

S-L-O-O-O-W Service [Klamath CA]…read more So it looks like the restaurant has rebranded because the sign in front now says Blue Ox Cafe and is part of the Trees of Mystery across the street. The restaurant is next door to a vintage roadside motel called Motel Trees. Inside the restaurant is spacious and had just reopened for the season this Spring. I had the Babe's Burger w/ Tater Tots and hubby the Cheeseburger Sliders small plate. While the food was good the kitchen service, on the other hand, was very slow... holy moly, it took at least between 30-45 mins to get our food. We were probably dining at the same time as the recent 1-star reviewer who complained about the wait. We were there on a Sunday during the Memorial Day weekend. Everyone was waiting for their food... and it's even worse when families have kids. We came to dine here because it was convenient and just across the street from Trees of Mystery. Our server was nice and sweet though and totally not at fault for the long wait from the kitchen. Hopefully you won't experience the same as many of us did that weekend when you dine at the Blue Ox Cafe (aka Forest Cafe). Review #3775

My waitress was a super kind and sweet woman who was attentive, but not annoyingly so. She got me my food rather fast - from my appetizer (the fried pickles, which were delicious!) to my burger! She even brought me out a pitcher of my drink so I could give myself refills.

Service: our server was kind and pleasant. Food arrived in a timely manner. Ambiance-average for the coast. I gave a 3 star because, while the breakfast was on par, later on in the day... not so good. We ate breakfast and headed south. Dessert review: On our return trip north at dinner time, we stopped in to get the chocolate cake as we were celebrating our 31st anniversary on 3/19. Husband went in without me and asked for chocolate cake. At first the worker began to cut "unusually small pieces" at ANY price point. My husband spoke up about how small the size. When the worker rung it up, the price was $30 for 2x , yes 2x, let me repeat that...2x pieces of cake!!!!! She had a bad attitude, she was rude, she was put out to provide good service to a paying customer. She justified $30 by saying the cake was from Cheese Cake Factory. I recognize good labor is hard to find on the coast. (I'm certain I've seen this same chocolate cake and cheese cake for sale at our local Grocery Outlet...about $30) I'm sorry for the restaurant that this is the best employee they could find. When my husband came out ... he was p.o.'ed. Then he told me the cake was a few dollars short of our breakfast price and $30 was charged to my card. I FLIPPED A GASKET AND WAS EVEN MORE P.O.'ed. We are locals and we feel SO RIPPED OFF AND TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF! My husband thinks he was hustled and gouged and overcharged BECAUSE HE WAS! Unfortunately, I don't think we'll return. Word to the wise, if the price isn't printed in the menu...buy at your own risk.
