It's the oldest continuously operating cafe and bar in Oregon. From the neon outside and in, the…read morehistory and ambiance is a throwback that dates to the 1880's. The bar is long, with pictures of all the Pendleton Round-Up lining one wall. The place is a fascinating time capsule. Way in the back, beyond the bar and the pool table, a very small dining room with counter service and several humble booths are tucked away next to the kitchen. It's old, and proud of it. I've only eaten there twice; I once had a great breakfast there many years ago with my son. The portions were generous, the service was excellent, and as American style breakfasts go, it was about as good as they get. It's not "inspired food." It's the standard stuff, and there's something comforting about that. It's Americana at it's best. The second time was my birthday, and again, I was there with my son. It was evening. When we got there, we were the only ones occupying the cafe. It looked exactly as it had 20-plus years ago. My son ordered a hamburger and fries. Again, no trendy toppings or fuss, just very fresh, very well prepared hearty fare...exactly what we were looking for. I had their "famous" fried chicken. it was without hesitation, some of the best I'd ever tasted. It came with jo-jos, a salad, and garlic bread. It was all excellent, and almost too much food. If you enjoy old school dining in a small town cafe, it's going to be hard to beat the Rainbow Cafe and Bar.

You can't tell they make their own dough and they use great ingredients!! The fried ravioli is also a family favorite. Mixed drinks are prepared quickly and always tasty. The entire menu and personality of this lace is so fun!! I love their sense of humor and whimsy in everything they do. You've gotta get here for pizza if you haven't yet. Hands down the best pizza in Pendleton, Hermiston, and all of Tri Cities. Not sure about Walla Walla as I haven't tried pizza there, but who knows?? Could be!

The food was pretty good but the hamburger patty was quite a bit smaller than the bun which made it…read morehard to eat. The service was extremely slow. The seating was uncomfortable and the long wait for our food didn't help. I think the clincher for the one star rating was we didn't realize they automatically put a tip on the bill. We didn't feel they deserved a tip but apparently they did... They also add a 3% credit card charge.... [I just read the owners reply...wow!!! I am sorry you had another unhappy customer but that wasn't us. We didn't say anything while we were in the restaurant and we didn't order a well done hamburger. So sorry you had another unhappy customer.

I finally had to go park and go inside to find out what happened. There was a nice girl at the counter who explained they only had one cook and one other girl who was new and confused. I waited inside and the new girl brought me two regular sized cups. I told her I ordered large, but she said well, here's regular. I waited another 10 minutes, and finally got my 2 meals. Wow. Not one apology. Its so unfortunate that a place that makes great chicken is so completely inept and without any customer service skills or care.

We arrived thirty minutes early for our 1:30 reservation, and the very nice hostess greeted us warmly and sat us within five minutes. The table was in the back a bit, and it felt warm. I asked the Manager, Denesh, if we could move to a waiting list for the bar area as it felt cooler. He was so gracious and asked if the booth by the door was okay. He was excellent. I had the Halibut Fish & Chips and it was so good. I feel there were too many fries on all of our plates as no one could finish them. The Halibut was also generous and so flavorful, and the others enjoyed the Chicken Tenders as well. It was so nice that Rebecca, a server, recognized us and gave us all a big hug. She was not our server, and I can't recall our server's name. She was excellent also. We will be back next year and I will ask for Rebecca.
