This was an awesome find. I like the size or their drinks and larger portions than some places. I felt that the prices were okay and they had many options. They allow you to substitute things and service was happy. read more

I had higher expectations- the biscuits and gravy was good, I liked the gravy a lot- the biscuit was kinda dry. My son had an omelette, he said it was good. The portion sizes are typical, nothing to comment on. The service was ok, we weren't totally ignored but service was slow, I thought we were forgotten about a few times. Nothing fancy or interesting going on at this place, just a regular cafe with regular breakfast food :( read more

My group of friends meet here weekly for breakfast. It's like the cafe you stopped at while traveling. Large portions of really good breakfast items done the way you like it. Staff is great. Take good care of a bunch of (7) old guys. Some of groups favorites. Cinnamon French toast-biscuits and gravy- Palmer scramble- Denver omelette Egg dishes come with potatoes meat and toast - read more

Whoever says food quality is exceptional needs to lay of the crack pipe. The gravy Benedict was a contradiction in and of itself. Dry biscuits, tasteless gravy, raw bacon, and eggs wasn't good. The Benedict wasn't a ticket to flavor town either. The French toast topped with berries and whipped cream and the pancakes were really good. The service was good and the nostalgia of a neighborhood diner are great. It was our first time here. I'd go next door to Rocking Dave's for better food, but if I wanted pancakes and sit down cafe I'd revisit this place. read more

it's not the worst, but it's definitely not the best breakfast place in town. I found their biscuits to be dry, although the service was excellent. Unfortunately management supports Republican MAGA candidates, as evidenced by their sign out front. read more

Could have been a 4 star experience. Time In-9:50am Time Out-11:30am Total- 1 hour 50 mins. almost 2 hours. I don't know about you, but that is way to long to be at a breakfast place. I mean, I could see if you were in deep conversation with friends..but this was not the case here. I really felt like a was a hostage.. Waiter said, "sorry, but we have a party of 8 that ordered right before you". The one meal I hate waiting a lifetime for is breakfast. I just want to drink my 2-3 cups of coffee, eat and bounce. The food was pretty good. I had the breakfast burrito with egg, home made rustic potatoes, cheese and ground beef. Seriously it could fed two people, easily. I was starving after a late night show with my band, and I still couldn't finish it...not even close. All and All, worth the visit, huge portions, share options, but, it took a long time. Maybe I just caught them at a bad time. I will return and update my review next time I'm in town. read more

Palmer's Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bend, Oregon

i can only suggest you look at pictures of "Breakfasts Past" and certainly not from me. My weakness for gobbling down good food got the better of me. For shame. The weak coffee was their Achilles heel. It tasted like brown water. But they kept it coming! Then there were the 10% discount coupons for "next time". Mr. B said we're coming back, especially after he ate. He would not allow me to donate them to the locals. It has a divey outside, and is associated with an even more so divey, sad motel by the same name. And the parking was horrid. But then.... Homemade corned beef hash, very nice. I ordered a side, and absconded with one of Mr. B's two eggs and a bit of his great hash browns. Mr B's sirloin steak from grass fed beef from a local Willamette Valley Ranch named Childers Meat Co. There was one slight misstep...over cooking the steak. But the waitress sent it back and the 2nd time was a charm. The steak was perfectly med rare with very special flavor that Mr. B has been moaning over, ever since. And then there were the wonderful biscuits and gravy. The biscuit was as large as a mini loaf but obviously homemade and light. And I suggest you put their wonderful sausage gravy on everything you can lay your hands on, except the orange slice. This is a keeper! 4.5 stars, and only because of the coffee. read more

Palmer's Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bend, Oregon

Got biscuits and gravy. You know what is t appetizing, cold gravy. It was definitely subpar. I'd go to the Pancake House.

Amazing food, great service and good sized portions (shareable) all with a small town feel!

I love the Palmer's Cafe. Food and drinks are amazing! Service is always great. Perfect breakfast place.

Outstanding in all respects; Clean, Bright, Friendly, Throughout; on Site Ownership that truly grasps the spirit & soul of Old Bend as a they're born & raised native, one that has stayed & preserved that essence in Palmer's Cafe... thank you DL. Superb quality Food, Service & Ambience. read more

I had Sunday brunch with my family and we all enjoyed! Great food , atmosphere and service. You feel like you're family and part of the neighborhood when you're in there! Parking in their lot isn't the best, but there's plenty of parking nearby! read more

What this restaurant is: A local cafe with good food and charm. The service is always good and friendly. There are lots of tables and if you come early you'll have no wait. Limited parking so their parking lot may fill up before the cafe does, but there is more parking nearby. Coffee is good and the wait for the food isn't long at all. The prices are typical for Bend $10-$15 and they now serve some alcoholic beverages like Bloody Mary's and mimosas. What this cafe is not: a fancy, touristy or trendy restaurant. It is Also not open for dinner. It's Open Just from 7-2pm. But if you like casual cafes with good food and very good service this place is for you. I added some new pictures of menus read more

Server wearing masks below her chin. Omicron is coming to take care of this. Food is just OK

I haven't been to Palmer's in over 20 years. We decided to give it a go after the culmination of the year long remodeling project. The Bloody Mary was the redeeming factor, it was well made and and had nice olives. The eggs Benedict was definitely subpar. The hollandaise was super tangy and the English muffin also tasted off. We have such great bread options in Bend, why not source the muffins locally? It would completely up the game. The potatoes were boiled and thrown on the griddle haphazardly, flavorless and cold. My person had the country fried steak, which was also cold and disappointing. Needless to say the experience was incredibly underwhelming, even with the pleasant and attentive waitress. It will be another 20 years until I go back. read more

Once the waitress decided we were the problem table, it went down hill fast. Heckler from head waitress as we are going to our car. yelling at us. Never,ever again. Cook can't do eggs to save his life. Shitty all the way around. Oh and we are born and raised here. read more

I'm loving the Bend vibe here! Haven't been in? What's wrong with your? I'm kicking myself for not visiting sooner. The staff are sweet and fast-fast-fast! The food is fantastic and abundant. We were stuffed from delightful pancakes and fruit. The remodel is darling and so clean! Love it! Ok, I have to add... these folks use legit fabric napkins. Awww. Parking can be tight so consider a slight walk from there nearby parking lots. Don't dawdle; this place has them lining up in the morning. Get in early. I had the honor of visiting with the owner. He is a gem! He has overcome great adversity. His attached hotel is only available to those needing urgent care at the hospital and he provides this for no charge. This is what Bend is about. Good people doing good things. Proud to know them. Five stars just isn't high enough. Thank you for all you do. read more

Food was good but came out a little warmer than cold we watched as food would sit in the window for at least 10 minutes

We happened on this place by accident .The wait was reasonable, the staff friendly. The food was fast and it all tasted great. Kudos to the chef. The deck was super cute and it just had a good clean home town feel. I recommend this place for a great breakfast and a great menu. read more

Palmers cafe is awesome, we found this place on our way out of town on Sunday morning and where seat and served promptly. Their fancy water, chilled, coffee hot, amazing food & cheerful service. We will be back to Palmers cafe read more

Glad we came back!! We use to love Palmers but stopped going when the new guy from Palm Springs took over the restaurant a couple years ago. That fool is gone and Dave is running the restaurant himself now and has brought back the best of the older cooks to get it right again. Service was great. Friendly and helpful. Food was great as well. Omelet with stuffing falling out. Gravy that actually has flavor. Good selection for everyone. The owner is exceptionally polite and grateful. To everyone, give them a try again. As good as they use to be!! read more

The waitress was great. But the food was not. My steak was so tough and full of grissell (sp!) I couldn't even cut it with a steak knife. The ice tea was weak and sadly the Potatoes were undercooked. Won't be going back. read more

So many tables open, atleast 12 of us lined outside waiting for a table, not a single staff came out to tell us what is going on. I know they are short staffed but Atleast get us seated or inform us. Food wasn't all that great, It's Shari's standard. Would not recommend nor will come back here. By the way, parking is also a problem. read more

We have been in Bend a long time but today was our 1st visit to this place. The service was friendly and helpful. Both of our breakfasts were really good. I had the scramble with sausage, bacon and mushrooms and it was delish. My wife had the veggie scramble and she enjoyed it as well. We both recommend this place, thx! read more

NOT closed! They have the BEST Biscuits & Gravy in Bend... homemade and generous. Good coffee and super fresh ingredients. Don't miss this gem! read more

The breakfast selections at Palmer's are great, and the portions are fantastic! This isn't one of the most popular spots in Bend, but that's what makes it a fantastic place to go - there usually isn't much of a wait to get in. The servers are very friendly, and always have great suggestions to make. As far as menu items go, you can't go wrong with the daily special. On this visit, I had the Mt. Bachelor Omelet, which was amazing - the Portobello mushrooms and Swiss cheese really made it flavorful. As a side, I opted for the Swedish pancakes, which were done to perfection. My family also ordered the breaded pork cutlet (quite tasty), the buttermilk pancakes (again, huge!), and the chicken-fried steak (not as flavorful as the pork cutlet). We all enjoyed the country potatoes - so good! The dining room can seem a bit crowded, but that's about the only downside to mention. read more

Wonderful atmosphere, dog friendly patio. The server went above and beyond, for us and our pup. The food was also delicious. Great spot!

Waitress was very friendly. We had breakfast here. Eggs were cooked well but it went down hill from there. Something that was called home fried potatoes. We're very old and mushy and not even hot. There Ham was cold. Would not recommend stopping at this place way to many other places that are good in bend. read more

I grew up in a family where greasy, stick-to-your-ribs food was a staple...a wonderfully, heart-disease ridden staple. I am almost certain the chefs/cooks at Palmers are long lost relatives, because they know how to cook!! Now that I'm older I try to limit my artery-clogging food intake, but every once in a while a place like Palmers is a heavenly treat! My breakfast was absolutely delicious! I had the chicken fried pork chop and it was cooked to perfection. The gravy was tasty and the potatoes were crisp and perfectly seasoned...a little greasy, but again, that's sorta comforting to me. Our waitress was a sweetheart! The place was super busy, but she was attentive and came to our table several times. Whenever my husband and I visit Bend, Palmers is a must! read more

ok so I hate to be this guy but it was honestly one of if not the worst omlette I've ever had the chick was hard and difficult to chew, the veggies were gross and at least a few days old the cream sauce that was inside of it tasted sour and old and frankly the o my good think about my meal was the potatoes and I've had an upset stomach and have had diarrhea since I ate it yes morning I would not go here again and I'm still a little upset about how I payed 18$ for a nauseating meal read more
