The owners and staff are super friendly.If you're traveling through Bend,I recommend this place.Its kind of tucked away so make sure you don't drive past it. read more

WOW! A must eat when in Bend, OR. Small cafe attached to Palmer's Motel. Heated waiting area outside with coffee if too crowed. Very friendly service, incredible food, large portions, and homemade salsa. Great breakfast/brunch spot...open 'til 2pm. If you are looking for a breakfast spot in Bend, start here, then go to the other places. read more

Delicious food, giant portions, professional and friendly staff AND doesn't break the bank. Would like to take this gem back to Portland with me. read more

We went out of our way to find a good breakfast in Bend and chose this spot because of the good yelp reviews, which I'm having a hard time understanding. It was so disappointing. Incredibly bland, rubbery omelette with no flavor and one piece of hard avocado. No espresso drinks which was annoying for a breakfast spot. Opted for cheap Lipton tea. Toast never delivered. Server was nice and didn't charge us for one meal. But the whole thing set the day off poorly. Should have stuck with free hotel breakfast. read more

Palmer's is a great little down home restaurant with great traditional breakfast & lunch. I go there for early & late breakfasts. It has a warm down home friendliness and the service is great. They provide generous servings. The service is special! read more

Probably the best HIDDEN GEM in Bend. Great family like service. We went for breakfast and I had the special (3 cream pancakes with berries... INCREDIBLE) and we also had the 1/2 (but generous portion) of the "Kitchen Sink". read more

We went here after reading all of the incredible Yelp reviews. Neither of us can figure out why or how this place gets such fantastic accolades. The best part of our experience was the service. Everyone was extremely friendly, and the water/coffee refills were timely. However, aside from that, this would be a two star review. I ordered the kitchen sink with a scrambled egg on top. The potatoes and veggies were oily and not very flavorful. My BF had the Mediterranean scramble which he said was very average, and actually said his cinnamon toast with jelly was the highlight of the meal. He ordered fresh fruit as his side, which looked like canned fruit with one blueberry and one strawberry chunk added for "freshness". The coffee was also very sub-par, especially with so many good coffee options in Bend. Maybe it was just an off day for the cook or something, but we were not impressed. read more

We were headed to a different spot but ended up at Palmer's by accident. But what a surprise! There is drip coffee for you as you wait (though it will be charged to you later once seated). Portions here are large and in charge! The breakfast burrito was twice the size of the usual. I had the country scramble which was really just biscuits and gravy with some eggs and bacon. There hardly were any eggs since it was buried beneath the biscuits and gravy. Loved the homemade biscuit though, it was just the right consistency and still moist even without the gravy! Yummy!!! read more

This diner was excellent.. Really nice and full menu and also the daily special was great.. Nice people working and delicious breakfast.

Meh. Just diner food. Nothing special. Coffee isn't that great. Just a typical greasy diner breakfast joint.

Food was good but service wasn't great at all. Waitress took forever to take our order and we had to flag her down for more coffee even though we finished our meals. Never checked on us, got my husbands order wrong but we couldn't fix it anyways because our waitress never came back. read more

A cozy eatery tucked in the back of the tiny Palmer Motel. This place is always packed on the weekends, and the staff has a tough time with the pace. The food is plentiful and tasty. But I found the bottom of my coffee cup a couple times during the course of one meal - which is never a good thing while enjoying my breakfast! read more

A hidden breakfast gem!! This place is hidden in an old motel and it took me so long to find it, but I am glad I did! The omelets are so good and there are so many to choose from that I'll never be able to experience them all. The service is friendly and attentive. Your coffee and water will be full the entire meal and even if you stay to chat after you're finished they keep filling your cup; that is VERY rare at restaurants believe it or not. read more

Appearances can be deceiving. Palmers looks like a shady place, especially being next to a motel but it is anything but. The staff are incredibly friendly and sweet. Once you are inside, it feels like you're eating in your grandma's kitchen. The food is delicious and the portions are enormous. We had the breakfast burrito and the eggs benedict. Both were filling and made our tummies happy. read more

This is s favorite place of mine. I found it a couple of years ago and so happy to take my favorite people there to share a meal. We love the menu and quality of the food. Service is genuine and friendly. This is where the locals go so if you're from out of town stay away! Just kidding!! read more

Miguel's omelet and blueberry banana French toast are so, so very good. Oh my.

A friend picked this spot for us. Ended up with a 5 man band, myself and my wife. Between all of us we've seen the U.S. many times over with tons of breakfast diners. This place is at least on my top 5 both for food as well as service (while waiting for tables to be combined we say on the deck with heaters keeping us warm and free fresh coffee). Every person got something different and every one of us remarked at how good it was, with plates being passed around towards the end for us to try the others. No empty bellies left the place and everyone had a smile with hugs from the hostess on the way out. I rarely write a review this gushing. The atmosphere is just a typical country diner with nothing fancy. But it doesn't need to be fancy to be damned good. read more

Good old down home country breakfast with incredibly friendly people. Sometimes open at 6:30 am - perfect for early birds.

The place was amazing. Way better than I expected in every way. The food was excellent! Traditional yet original. The biscuits and gravy 5 star! Pancakes were awesome as well. You'd never expect it to be so good in its out of the way little location. The service was as good as the food! It's priced a little higher than average but the large portions make up for it. I'll be stopping here whenever I come through. read more

Lower than average. Not a quality place. Fresh paint and same old owner. The bad smell may be masked, but poor quality remains. Who wants lots of average at best food? read more

Took a chance & glad we did! Small, old, by the motel as stated! No complaints about anything. Six of us ordered different breakfasts. We all thought they were delicious. The place was busy but we were seated quickly, ordered were taken, food was great & service couldn't have been better. read more

Palmers has great food. Be careful of their outdoor seating though. Their pine trees are way overdue for a manicure.

Awesome little place with BIG food and a great atmosphere. You've got nothing to lose. Go here or we will cut down your trees!

We would give 7 stars if available. This small cafe tucked in corner of the Palmer Motel offers breakfast and lunch all day til two. Food was fantastic, incredibly fresh, and lots to choose from. Coffee is a continuous pour and you will not beat the flavor. Don't miss this gem read more

This restaurant has wonderful food and the service is the best in town. Prices are pretty inexpensive for the quality of the meals they serve. read more

That was a really good biscuit under the mountain of gravy. Also pepper bacon, chunks of ham and scrambled eggs and potatoes all delicious . Time for a hike. read more

Great little Mom & Pop place for a traditional breakfast. Discover this locals secret!

Wow this was a good breakfast!! Omelette was the best I've EVER had, and omelettes are my standard when eating out for bfast. Wife's food was really good too, and the pancakes we shared were fantastic. Owners were both super nice. Don't miss this place if you're nearby!!! read more

A good breakfast spot, there was a short wait, but it wasnt anything crazy. The food was good and so filling I ordered biscuits and gravy IT WAS HUGE! I couldn't finish it. The serive was great and everyone was nice. read more

Outstanding food and service. The outside of the restaurant makes it appear rather modest and the interior decor is similar. But the menu is huge, the food came out quickly and everything was prepared perfectly. Attentive service was ideal. We will be back to Palmers! read more

We found this great little cafe tucked away next to a motel in Bend, Oregon. The corned beef hash is great, and so are the pancakes. Coffee was always bumped up, and we received 10% off our bill for being first-timers. The seating arrangement is cozy, like real pubs where you often find yourself sitting in close proximity to strangers, so if you're introverted, you may want to choose wisely regarding seating. Still, we loved it, the food was great, and so was the service. Our host and server were more than willing to share information with us about the town, along with ideas as far as what to do during our visit. We really hope to go to Palmer's again at least one more time before we leave. Great place! read more

What a pleasure hidden surprise! We found this on yelp. Had a moment of apprehension when it was connected to a motel, but were pleasantly surprised by the portions and the quality of the food. Our waitress, Gretchen, though, is the reason why I am writing this! She was fabulous! Not only extremely friendly, our coffee cups were never empty, our children (8 and 6) were well taken care of (she gave an insane amount of whipped crème in our sons hot chocolate...then brought a small plate of some for our daughter when she was admiring his drink. She also had a complete "to go" pack for us with utensils/napkins, etc! My son said that this was the BEST restaurant ever! I must agree, it was quite a find! Oh, and when she asked how we found the place and we said "yelp", we got 10% off our meal! read more

Palmer's Cafe is the best breakfast in town, although I always order a turkey bacon sandwich. The staff is friendly and accommodating of various needs. This is a local favorite that we have been coming to for years. read more

Great old-school diner! They have a huge selection of breakfast food and everyone in our party loved what we ordered. Quaint and simple, and great food for a great price. read more

Great food in a small place with friendly staff. They know how to cook breakfast right!

Palmers is a great little hole in the wall café. Very warm and inviting. The staff is very cheery and engaging.

I loved Palmer's Cafe. The nice gentleman host/waiter was so freaking nice. We came on a Sunday morning, clearly VERY busy and packed, but this man kept us all warm with complimentary coffee and a huge smile. I also loved the food and the cool plates which it was served on. Its a small place, with a big heart. I will return for breakfast not only for the food but mostly because I enjoyed the host who was so gracious to us, and professional in a super busy atmosphere. read more

Consistently excellent! The "Light Side" menu with smaller servings are very large!! Always great service and food here.

Friendly service, good prices, great food. Biscuits and gravy as good as Mom's (maybe better, sorry Mom). Short wait but coffee and heat provided. No worries. If our entire trip to Bend was a bust this would have been worth the 3 hr drive from Portland. read more

Palmers Cafe may look like a dingy motel diner but the food and service here was excellent. Free coffee while you wait for your table on the patio with heating lamps and excellent large dishes of food once you get inside. The staff were all exceptionally friendly and helpful. read more
