From walking in the door the server was annoyed with our presence. Ordered a few waters and wings to start... she rolled her eyes and returned with our microwaved wings a few minutes later. Upon delivering our appetizer, we were given our check. We then kindly asked to order the rest of our meal. Burger, BLT and mozzarella sticks. Burger was a thin frozen patty, mozzarella sticks with ranch (?) and the bacon on the BLT was burned - you could taste the fries were fried in old oil. Y'all... just don't. There's a cool looking restaurant down the road (KJ's maybe?) - wish we would've tried them out. I'll also state, that I've never written a bad review - just signed up for Yelp for this review -- $46 later, hoping we don't get sick - SKIP THIS RESTAURANT. read more

Loree's Chalet Restaurant - Diners Near Me - Chemult, Oregon

We stopped here while driving to Bend and the best thing about it was that it filled us with sustenance. Our meal was not tasty at all and the salad was awful. Our server was also grumpy and we would not come back here again when we're back in Oregon. read more

It was just after 11am and was handed a breakfast menu. Ok lol so I order steak and eggs. While I waited other diners were ordering lunch items. That was strange cause I really wanted a burger but anyways food came out and Ny Strip was well done on the ends and rare towards the middle. Had ordered it medium rare. No seasonings and steak was just above room temp. I mean it was edible but not enjoyable. #yodo read more

Lots of local color, I had the prime rib and was happy with it. Dry spot in a downpour. Full bar, pool and lots of room. Fast service from friendly staff. I'd eat here again if I was passing through. read more

Loree's Chalet Restaurant - Prime Rib dinner - Diners Near Me - Chemult, Oregon

This is your typical greasy spoon of middle america nowhereland. For what it is, it's a great place to refuel since your alternatives are pretty much starvation or hunting deer in the woods. that said, the homemade ranch dressing here is SUPERB. probably the best ranch dressing I've ever had. have it on the salad, have it on the fries (which I thought were average to below average on their own, but above average with their ranch), have it on everything. you won't be disappointed. I had my ranch dressing with a side of fries and a side of french dip. as mentioned, the fries went great with the ranch. the french dip was a bit on the salty side and didn't quite have the depth of flavor I'm looking for in a french dip. But it filled me up, and did I mention the ranch dressing??? read more

Great find in the right place at the right time! We were driving south through Chemult and had to go through Bly Mountain Pass on our way to Ashland. It was late, getting dark and a rain storm was closing in fast. We were starving and our last chance to eat before turning west was at Chemult. The young man at the gas station suggested the Chalet, and Subway as an alternative. I asked him what was good the Chalet. He said, "I don't know, I've never eaten there!". Regardless, it was no contest, The Chalet it was. We walked in and the young lady who greeted and eventually served us looked very tired. We sat down and ordered a pulled pork sandwich and steak. While we were ordering, we got to chat with her and she turned out to be a very nice and friendly young lady. She explained that she had pulled a double shift on that day and that was the reason she was exhausted. Her young and very cute daughter hung around while mom worked the table. Anyhow, the food was very good and the service was great. We left happy and a few lbs heavier! read more

None of the employees were wearing masks. Salt, pepper, Tabasco, sugar was all already on the table which should not be there during this crisis. I had a bacon cheese burger, it was good, the fries were limp and soggy. My wife ordered the grilled chicken meal with a salad. The chicken was not grilled, the garlic toast had a bad taste like burnt oil, she was not happy at all. I recommended trying another place maybe in La Pine read more

Awesome experience. Today is a vision of our future and Loree's is a part of that. We dream of retiring and traveling - along the way finding the local spots with great food and drink. Not only did Loree's have great food and drink - there were slot machines in the bar area!!! The service was focused on us and the drink (Long Island Iced Teas) rival the best we have ever had. We had the prime rib - not only was it delicious - it was out fast. I highly recommend stopping by or even traveling out of your way for a great experience at Loree's. read more

Fine for where it is at (there are very few sit down restaurants anywhere close by). Sandwiches were pretty standard, steak was still cold in places, and sides were run of the mill diner quality. I saw some people with the prime rib, which looked pretty good, but unfortunately they were sold out by the time I ordered. read more

This is one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. The food we ordered tasted like it was rancid (even the bread tasted stale). When we sat, we were surrounded by their inventory for their pantry. After a few bites, we cannot stomach it anymore so we complained to the waitress.. the waitress then told us that they couldn't be anything wrong with their food, and that no matter what we had to pay for it. After an argument, I finally got the owners phone number. When I called the owner, he told me that there was no way that they would give us any sort of deal on our food and we would have to pay for it. He didn't care if we had a bad experience or not. He basically told us it was our tough luck for trying his restaurant. I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone. It is horrible. read more

It's a small town on a long highway. This is "locally sourced" before anyone cared. It's local people and the service is comfy (lots of "honey" going around). Nothing special but it's an okay place to stop and feel comfy. read more

Well, what is a holiday away without a story? We reserved a room in chemut, deceived by "crater lake" in the motel's name. Our destination was a day at crater lake and then some dinner and rest close by. I realize Covid-19 has changed everything, so my expectations are adjusted accordingly. Chemut only has a couple places to get a meal. The restaurant at crater lake has very limited hours, so plan accordingly. Anyway, back to chemut, we went to lorees cafe. The place was quite busy and I could only identify three people doing everything. It took time to get any assistance. The one server was running with take out, the bar, and all the tables. The cook did finally come and take our order and things sped up some. The beer was fresh, salad was good, food comes and my steak was past its time. Ewh! Ok, they addressed it quickly, and I was overcharged for it. During our meal, the owner, who was so used and chatting with the bar flies, starts yelling at our server to get out and never come back. I don't know the history but they were both yelling the eff bomb at each other, she ran out, apologizing, and yelling she quits. It was disturbing and very intense, especially for our two kids who have trouble understanding. The owner told the cook to finish up with everyone and close the place down. Yikes! read more

We ate here tonight , not a great idea but it worked I wasn't that hungry anyways lol Server was rude to us and other customers... Must not like her job there lol read more

Absolutely phenomenal breakfast spot. Just drove out of Crater Lake while traveling with my boyfriend and we stopped here mainly out of convenience, but we were pleasantly surprised by the friendly staff, quick service, and some damn good eggs and bacon. Nothing gourmet but they definitely do breakfast food right. The place also has a nice diner/breakfast joint feel to it. Will 100% be returning. read more

We drove past and then went back, as the outside of the joint is a bit deceiving. Inside is clean and the breakfast was one of the best. Huge omelette and crispy hash browns. Coffee was good too. Do it! read more

Let's face it, dining options in Chemult, Oregon are pretty limited. I have no idea why Chemult isn't more developed given it's the closest town to the North entrance of Crater Lake and a convenient pit-stop for motels and food. Anyway... I was staying at the Whispering Pines Motel up the street and actually came here for dinner twice. The people are extremely friendly and while I didn't order anything extravagant, the sandwiches, fries and burgers were alright and the service was great. I had a blonde waitress, who was really nice and chatty. Keep your expectations in check and you'll be fine. read more

Stopped here in chemult to tired to drive.motel is cheap nothing to brag about.we had to go across the street to pay for the room.what a great little restraint and bar.suprise! There are slot machines ! After a great breakfast,I won 1,500.00 dollars on a penny machine!..so if your in chemult,Oregon stop in and enjoy the wonderful food and gamble a little. read more

BAR REVIEW // TO GO ONLY After like 7 games of pool, a few shots and beers, we got bored and decided to just go back and chill in the room with some beers. Given that there was barely anything around, we just decided to order food to go from here. We got their Chicken Strips which turns out to be a giant slab of chicken! It was fresh and lightly deep fried, which was good because I hate when the breading it too thick. We also got their "homemade" fries which turned out to be soggy because we let it sit in the to go container. I can imagine how good they'd taste though fresh if we dined in. Their Cup of Chili was a little on the watery side and had too many tomatoes in it, but it wasn't bad. The bartender was friendly and even explained to us different games of pool. He was working alone, but he was doing a great job since he had to run back and forth between the bar and restaurant area. Drinks are fairly cheap here, although, the Jameson tasted kinda old...but good news, they got pickle juice here! Can't really complain much if it's literally the ONLY nearby bar. read more

Love love love this place!! The food is home made and fresh and the service fast which is hard as the waitress was alone! It's not fancy but that's what makes it so cool! A truck driver by trade was sitting next to us and started talking to us. One disappointment was the waitress could not make milk shakes as she just didn't have time--but as noted- it's a great hole in the wall in a small town!! read more

The food was expected, there seems to be only one server, and they can come off as intense! The fries were good and so was the salad!

If you are a minority you and your children will be discriminated against, you will be served stale food, and you will be overcharged for that terrible food. You should definitely take your money somewhere else. We were very disappointed with the server's behavior. From the get go she was non courteous. Saying things like I will be with you when I can. But what was unacceptable was that she didn't bring crayons for our kids. When she came to write order we reminded her about crayons. She was agitated and said, "I have a million customers to serve I can be least worried about that. Are you ready to order or not?" We were shocked and paused. She said, "looks like you are not ready to order. I don't have time." Our kids were disappointed and we could not believe this was real. Meanwhile a family with 2 kids has two cups of crayons on their table with almost a dozen crayons in each. Also she was making small talk on another table while taking their order. She also greeted another couple off very nicely, wishing them best for their trip. What was the difference between us and them you may ask? The skin color. We felt bad for our kids that they have to be exposed to bigotry at this age but more bad for the girl who is so bitter. So we left her some tip while she ignored us making our way out. After this visit I checked that there are almost a dozen reviews on both of these business pages that are complaining about rude server. All of them are from people who don't look like her. People who look like her seems to enjoy hospitality. Being bitter is one thing but by being so clearly discriminatory against children she has shown that she is a horrible person at heart. Not to mention food was terribly non appetizing. Our kids barely touched fries even though they are crazy for them. Fries were soggy with oil, limp and brown. It looked like they refried or microwaved the stale one for us. We asked for fries with one order and chips with other but she brought fries for both. We didn't bring it up with her to save our kids from more rudeness. Next morning we literally ordered the same stuff from Annie Restaurants at Mazama. We could not help notice the difference in freshness, taste and quality. We decided we are never stopping at this place to support bigotry with our hard earned money. We could see flies and fruit flies flying around the ceiling of the kitchen which was visible from seating area. I can only imagine what would be the situation at counter. read more

Loree's Chalet Restaurant - Kids menu with no crayon. Was it just for teasing our kids? - Diners Near Me - Chemult, Oregon

Stopped here on our way to Ca from Wa. While the waitress was nice, she was very inexperienced. She was the waitress and bartender. I ordered chicken fried steak, my husband the grilled chicken dinner. His 6 oz chicken was maybe 3 oz! His Broccoli Cheddar soup fair at best. Runny. My chicken fried steak I could not even cut. You had to saw it with a sharp knife and still no luck. The white gravy was cold and the dinners barely luke warm. Corn on cob mushy and soggy. Salad dressing beyond salty. The chicken fried steak tasted as if fried in bad oil or chemicals. NEVER AGAIN!!! Should have grabbed a sandwich at pilot! read more

My bf and I were visiting crater lake. We decide to dine at this restaurant since it was close to our motel. WORST decision ever made! The waitress on shift at 5/20/2017 at 8pm was the worst waitress I ever had. She was snobby and rude! My bf and I was looking forward to our crater lake trip and she ruin this experience for us. We came there looking to dine-in, however immediately after sitting us, she was snarky and rude to me. Not sure if it was because of my ethnicity, but she was much nicer to the other client there. We decided to get our food to go at that point, since the atmosphere she created was unwelcoming! She gave us our food but only gave us one set of utensil. When I ask for another set for my Bf, she rudely reply that we only order one meal. We clearly order two. I order a rib eye steak special and my BF a Reuben sandwhich. She then proceed to charge us $1 extra for each to go container and overcharge my bf on his sandwhich which is clearly stated in the menu to be $9. Our bill came out to be $27 for two item. Dear Ms. Waitress, If you are reading this review. I forgot to tell you before I left. It look like you have something up your ass all the Fuckin time! Take your shitty personality and shove it up your ass where it belong. We didn't deserve your rudeness and treatment! I hope the owner read this and fire you. You're the reason that place is losing business. read more

I enjoyed a mushroom Swiss burger and excellent home cut fries on a road trip stop for lunch last week.....the meal hit the spot, the place seemed clean and well run! I'm glad they've been able to survive these rough times! read more

Stopped for breakfast on our way through the area. Denver omelette was delicious. Service was fast and friendly.

This place is a must stop in this little town. We're just passing through and didn't want to eat at a chain, I'm glad we stopped by. They have a vegan burger, amazing steaks, and even better prices! Our server was also our chef and bartender, he was so friendly and very efficient. Great place to get delicious food, beer, and wonderful service! read more

This was the only place open in town. We went and the bar food was the only option left. Our food came out cold. The chili on the cheese fries was flavorless and tasted kind of sour. The fries were undercooked. The mozzarella sticks and wings were also not cooked enough. Honestly if you have the choice go to Subway. The waiter/bartender was very nice and you could tell he was trying and that's the only reason I'm giving two stars. read more

Dunno why, with many tables still occupied and 1/2 hr before closing, they wouldn't let us in. Even, as we stood outside their door talking about where to go, they poked their head out to emphatically let us know "WE ARE CLOSED." read more

My friends and I came here for dinner. We all had the steak. It was juicy and delicious but a lot of fat was attached. Service was quick and freidnly. It was a pretty chill spot for food and beer. There's also a pool table. read more

Waitress was rude and had no patience to provide any vegetarian food. However she said they can provide a salad with only tomatoes and they don't have any other vegetables. Then we only had a soup. She then served a vegetable salad to the people in table next to us which had lot of other vegetables. While leaving the hotel, she gave us a bad and angry look. read more

Just because you are hungry and this is the first restaurant you've seen for the past 50 miles, spend the extra 5 cents in gas and eat someplace else. Even a 7-11 microwave burrito would be considered 5 star as compared to the open faced turkey sandwich which in reality is a large bowl of tepid gravy with Wonder Bread submerged and no real evidence of turkey. On the decor side you may admire the two 1970's bi-planes made from Busch beer cans suspended from the ceiling by 5 lb fishing line. read more

Had breakfast here right when they opened on a Saturday morning. Everything was delicious. Not kidding, best pancake I've ever had. Super fluffy on the inside, crispy edges and cooked to perfection. Bacon was crispy. My son's country fried steak was amazing. Country gravy was also quite good. Reasonable prices. No complaints from these hungry travelers. read more

Meh...It could've been worse. I came in here thinking,"Gee, what a cozy place. The food on the menu sounds tasty and the server is so nice!" When I left I was thinking,"Gee, that wasn't really good at all!" I have to say, they went overboard on the SALT and deep-frying. Yes, the appetizers were amazing, but the entrees, not so much. The shrimp was WAY too SALTY, the medium-rare steak I ordered turned out to be a few seconds away from raw, and most other things were just way too SALTY. I cannot emphasize more, if this place took the SALT down a few levels, they would earn themselves 5 solid stars. Overall, pretty cozy place and a great server. Good for late night eats and drinks. Just too much SALT! read more

My husband and I stopped in for lunch. He had a bacon cheeseburger that was good however I had the grilled chicken dinner with baked potato ans corn. Mine however was not good at all. The chicken was so over done that I could not cut through it with my knife at all!!!!!! I could not even bite through it. It was unetable.The corn was chewy ans the baked however cooked all the way through was very bland abs wrapped in foil so no crunchy skin. The salad that came with it was good after I picked out the wilted ans skinny pieces. Needless ro say we will not return! They even charged me full price for a meal I couldn't enjoy. 4 bites out of the French bread 2 out of the corn 4 out of the potato and none of the chicken. If you can go anywhere else or druve farther I recommend you do. Even though the waitress was a sweetie read more
