In the middle of nowhere, beautiful open countryside with friendly cook. The food is what you would expect for a diner, solid breakfast, very good burgers. Burger was large, cooked to order with choice of cheese and toppings. Yes, the food is heavy on grease and salt but tasty and just what you need to get you back on the road. read more

Silver Lake Cafe & Bar - Outside front - Bars Near Me - Silver Lake, Oregon

The Silver Lake Cafe was a Thankful and pleasant surprise. When you travel through the high desert country in Central and Eastern Oregon where you just don't have many places to eat. Silver Lake Cafe located on the East side of town right on Highway 31 was the only restaurant in over 75 miles that served breakfast on our trip to Boise. It opens at 9 am. It was a simple and clean stop with nice restrooms. The prices were very good as was the food. It is nice that people step out in faith to operate a restaurant both for the locals and travelers in this remote area. THANK YOU! They also had good coffee and offered fresh homemade pie. 65320 Highway 31 Silver Lake OR 97638 read more

Stopped here on the way to the Cowboy Dinner Tree for a beer or two, the ladies are great friendly fun service and prices are fair! Good people! read more

If you want some amazing home cooked food stop by this cozy cute restaurant! Great service and very tasty food! Worth the drive out there!

This old place has changed hands and was empty for a while since I first visited it years ago. It looks is age outside and in with decor that appears to be rejects from am old antique shop. However, the food is first rate. Before I notice a sign advertising the summer specials of Argentine beef pie and chicken pie, I ordered ta hamburger with a tortilla chili with a side of a bowl of chili. The burger was loaded with pickle relish, thousand Island dressing, pickles, tomato, lettuce, onion and a thick round of beef--appropriate for ranch country. It was very good. The chili was taken out of the freezer, the secret of how they can offer four varieties of soup. It was hot spicy and okay. Service was good. read more

Great food made with lots of genuine care by the owner. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and served a fantastic breakfast. Hashbrowns were perfectly crisp and the eggs were delicate and delicious! This was a great surprise on the long stretch of Hwy 31! Highly recommend! read more

Had breakfast here after spending the night and having dinner at Cowboy dinner tree.. was a lovely way to start the day and the owner/staff are wonderful. My husband loved the good old fashioned home cooked breakfast.. can't wait to visit again!! read more

Was surprised how good this breakfast was for out in a small town. Wasn't expecting much but everything was homemade and delicious definitely will come back and try their dinner. Super friendly staff. Their biscuits and gravy are so delicious. read more

Silver Lake cafe never disappoints us. We stop here every year and Maria Patty Landon and the staff are absolutely fabulous, filled with love generosity. Her baked goods are on point, as well as the special ingredient in the French toast biscuits and gravy. If your kids don't want to sit while they wait for food, they can go in the back and feed the horses! Don't miss this stop when driving through Silver Lake, even go ahead and drive out of your way to go there. You won't be disappointed read more

We had breakfast at this place. I get this is a rural area and I may need to lower my standards a bit. The food was not good. But my biggest issue is the place is flat out dirty. Ketchup, salt and pepper, silverware were all gross and dirty. I could barely eat. And crazy expensive. $17 for 2 eggs, hash browns, toast and bacon. Never again. read more

Really good food with daily specials and multiple choices for sides including more than one soup. Cute and cozy with fantastic friendly wait staff! Will come back! read more

Best meal we've had in quite a while. The mushroom soup had morels (unreal!) and the French dip was a roast that practically melts in your mouth. Would recommend 100%. We will be back! read more

Food was very fresh and the portions were huge. I had a mushroom bacon Swiss burger and my husband had their Club. Very friendly staff. Also note they have some Indian dishes and fresh soups in addition to their main menu. read more

Great little cafe, good food and friendly service. We stop here on our way to Boise from Southern Oregon. Consistently clean, very fresh food served with a smile with the smile! read more

Stop through over the weekend. I did not eat any food. We went into the bar. It's a very rustic bar. They have a good selection. The drink was well measured. The bartender was very friendly and accommodating . read more

We stopped in on our way to our vacation at the coast. We've stopped in here before, and never regret it. Small town homey vibe. Always good food. The kids declared their chicken strips the best in the world and my Reuben was fantastic. I will definitely get it again when I go through. My husband had the French dip which he said was extremely tender. They make their own roast for the French dip. The only complaints I heard were that the French dip could have been more flavorful and the ranch was a bit too salty -nothing enough to impact my review. We will definitely hit the spot again if we make another trip through Oregon. The ladies and service were great! Get the bread pudding to go with the whiskey sauce. Super yummy! read more

Very good burgers. I'll give it 5 stars even though they mixed up the toppings/ sides on all of our orders. Friendly service. Would definitely stop in again! read more

We had a delicious cheeseburger, fries and salad. Everything was fresh and delicious. Thank you Danny and Patty. Even the coffee was Amazing! And this place is in the middle of nowhere! Alicia was outstanding, she told us they grind fresh coffee beans and you could tell the coffee was fresh and way more than you would ever expect- Considering where this restaurant's located. We will definitely be stopping here again!!!! read more

Best hamburger I have ever had. The staff welcomed our entire fire crew and were happy to serve us. Perfect family atmosphere. I wish we could have stayed longer to play some pool. Thank you for having us and displaying such wonderful hospitalit. I pray the Lord blesses this restaurant and all the families represented here. read more

Eat here!! Give them all your money!! Biscuits and gravy are top notch, hashbrowns are crisped to perfection, coffee is exactly what you need. Plus, the service is incredible and the ambiance just what it should be. Will absolutely stop here every time I'm in the area. Thanks Silver Lake Cafe!! read more

The chili was good but if you're coming for a drink be prepared to pay $9 for a **tiny** pour....

At last! Great food has returned to Silver Lake! We really enjoyed our first visit for dinner since Maria's opening. What a fascinating conversationalist! She's finally returned home to her Silver Lake wheelhouse, bringing talent and joy to a good idea: breathe life back into the historic Silver Lake Cafe & Bar; one of the best little roadhouses ever, and settle back into the place she knows and loves best. We're longtime locals too and it brings the entire region many smiles to find the café open again, under such confident and enthusiastic management, after so many years of changes. Maria and Sue are mighty good cooks. These women kicked out fierce grilled tuna AND cheeseburgers; and were really good company. Unexpectedly diverse beverage options: We had a hard cider and a craft beer with our excellent dinner. Oh, Also...PIE! Seriously. HOMEMADE PIE! Get. At. It. read more

Had the double bacon cheeseburger and steak fries. Huge burger cooked just right. Friendly staff. Worth a return trip.

Ordered an adult grilled cheese sandwich. Got grilled bread and cold cheese. Took it home and grilled it myself. Not the first time I've had terrible food here. Not worth the overpriced menu. If you're hungry in Silver Lake, grab a bag of chips and keep driving. read more

On our way to scope out a few areas along the Fremont National Recreation Trail, we decided to stop in Silver Lake for some burgers. This being the Oregon Outback you never know when somewhere will be open and you can never be sure they will take card, so I always grab cash in La Pine. Thankfully they were open. The lady working told me they were normally open 11-7 and closed Mondays. I went with the bacon cheeseburger. It was outstanding, fresh juicy and cooked perfectly. The fries are house-cut and were also delicious. If you're on an adventure in the Oregon Outback, bring your cash and swing by. read more

Seemed cute. Ended up gross and unsafe. No precautionary safety measures from staff -- no social distancing between employees and customers, no masks or gloves of any kind on staff, food being touched/prepared/served with bare hands. Disregard for customers was apparent and disappointing. read more

Shockingly good! I had a pear and squash purée soup, superb!!! I would never have expected this fare in the middle of nothing!! Definitely worth a drive!! read more

Stopped in here for dinner and we always get served great food! Great service too! I always appreciate a clean bathroom as well! Nice spot for us to stop on our way through for elk hunting. read more

Well, maybe not four stars but I'm glad to see the Silver Lake Cafe is back up and running. I stopped in after some hunting, took a seat in the bar and had a good hamburger and a beer. This place is full of local color. One cowboy at the bar decided to light the wood stove without opening the flu and the result was worth the price of admission. I hope to make it by mid day so I can have a cinnamon roll soon. read more

Hands down best fries I've ever had. They start with whole potatoes and cut them in-house. Although I've had many good burgers over the years, the Baby Hoss at the Silver Lake Cafe is probably better than any of them. I never tire of them and it's my favorite thing on the menu. If you like burgers, you need to try one here. They also make good shakes and have a pizza oven. read more

Hadn't been back to Oregon for a while and remembered I had a great lunch before at this place. They must have new owners now. We had the cheese burger and a wrap. The Burger was under cooked and soggy enough to saturate the bun. The fries were limp and so salty we couldn't eat them.The wrap was OK but about double in cost as any other small town. The burger was a little pricey also. I don't have to guess why we were the only customers there. One more thing, can somebody get the cook a hair net? read more

It's understated. It looks like any old, worn country diner, and even the menu looks ordinary, but food this good is rarely found in places like this. There were clues: a paper sign on the wall about the pies for dessert (freshly made on the premises), a local who dropped by some vegetables from his garden, the demeanor of the people around - content. These are my kind of people: they under-promise and over-deliver. I was just traveling through after camping, but I'll make a point to come back next year. I hope they don't lose the magic in the meantime! read more

First of all FUCK this owner!!! My family stopped by to use the restroom headed home from visiting me. They have never been to Oregon and have no idea where they are... Keep in mind my family had an infant & 2 kids under the age of 10.. when you're on a road trip, kids gotta pee right??? My family stopped to use the restroom and this RUDE owner YELLS AND CUSSES at my family!!!! Screaming they got off to drop off their garbage and use the restroom and "it costs $ to run the sewer" My family would've been fine paying for some stupid ass drink to use the bathroom but this FUCKING BITCH did not need to cuss at my family!! You handled this so shitty and if you're the OWNER, you should have some fucking manners, you scared my little brother when you slammed your dishes into your sink. read more

This place was great! We spent the weekend in Silver Lake hunting and ate most of our meals here. Good breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Great friendly staff and awesome biscuits and gravy. We even got in late one evening (9pm) and just needed something to go to eat back at our motel room. The staff was very accommodating and the food and milkshakes were just what we needed after a long day hunting. read more

Outstanding burgers! The service is great. The current owner has really brought the standards up for this place.

A great lunch stop oasis in Oregon's Big Empty. Enjoyed stopping here for lunch for years. Sometimes it is closed between owners. The current operators are great, friendly, attentive, make simple fair that is good, including desserts. The building may be quite funky but it's worth the stop. read more

We stayed overnight at Ana Reservoir RV park. Heading north on Hwy 31, we found our new breakfast place! The ONLY place for miles! I looked on Yelp and was very happy to see the wonderful reviews. We were warmly greeted by Maria (owner) and felt right at home. We both had the classic breakfast and it was mighty tasty. My hubby loves a great sausage patty and Maria fixed him right up! Needless to say, I had so much on my plate that I left with 2 pieces of bacon and toast for my late morning snack. Did I mention that I had the best sourdough toast, btw it's grilled on both sides and so yummy! Maria gave us a tour of her new bar, that I might add has only been open for 9 months. You can surely tell all of her hard work she has done to make it homey for the locals and visitors alike. If you're in the neighborhood passing by, this is the place to stop to eat! If the parking lot is empty, don't let that sway you. Turn in and have a great meal! read more

Wow . . . all I can say is that the food was DELICIOUS !!! If you want outstanding service and real good homemade food, the Sliver Lake Café is the place !!!! I absolutely loved the meatloaf and biscuits served with an amazing gravy. My friend had a burger and she thought it was excellent and so tasty. I will definitely go back soon for another homemade meal !!!! read more

WE went all the way from San Antonio, Tx just for Ms. Maria's Grand opening. AND we were not disappointed! We were received with a smile, and even though we arrived the night they were preparing for Grand opening, she managed to serve us a warm chili meal. HeR waitress was terrific! Was very disappointed couldn't spend more time with my baby sister (we have been friends since we were Young). Had a real good breakfast the next morning and said our goodbyes. We knew she was going to do well. Love you, BIG SIS, LOLIPOP AND DAVID RUBIO ALSO, ORALIA AND BEN FRAGOZO FROM SAN ANTONIO, TX. WE LOVE YOU Need MISS U!!!!! read more
