Inside out: easy place to get in and out of with ample parking. The outside is well put together and cute and the inside is outstanding in its homey feel, of course the train is a major attraction and we thought it was so fun to take pictures of it as it went around! Service: fast and friendly, we came for breakfast and it was stellar even as the place filled up our waitress kept our coffee warm and water full and checked in on us multiple times. Food: the food was delicious, average quality and not terribly expensive. The coffee was tasty and everyone almost cleared their plate! What is better than that? Breakfast is one of our favorite meals and this place doesn't let you down. My mother in law is celiac and they offered her a gluten free bun so she could have 'toast' with her breakfast and that made her day! read more

Good grub but a bit high priced. We had friendly, efficient service. Coffee was always full too. I had the chicken and biscuits which was cooked tasty. The gravy was excellent! The wife had the chicken fried steak which was a typical frozen chunk of meat, deep fried and smothered with gravy. Seeing as we recently spent time in Texas left this rendition lacking in my opinion. The only thing excellent here was the gravy. Overalls decent meal just not quite worth the price charged. But seeing as it's out in the middle of nowhere and an easy on/off I-84 it's a good choice. I'd stop again given the same circumstances read more

Ate here for the first time yesterday, for breakfast. Very clean, friendly service. The model train that runs around and through the dining area is really cool. Good menu selections, and my wife and I were both very happy with our breakfast. Based on this first experience we won't hesitate to try it again. read more

Eggs over cooked. Should be runny for a benidect. Good flavor. A little bit on big on portion size. All in all it's good for a small restaurant. read more

Exceptional staff, good food, and a great environment. I stopped by this Baker City gem with a couple of friends on our way back to Portland after backpacking in Yellowstone National Park. Sumpter's felt like home away from home - just what we needed. Plus there is a model train that circles the entire restaurant... read more

This was a present surprise with the great food and they even have a train that circles inside the restaurant that is pretty fun. Lots of train memorabilia on the walls and about too. I ordered a burger, but can't remember the name of it, but it was very large and tasted great. It came with a salad and I could eat all of it so my wife helped with my salad. The price was VERY reasonable and I would come back here to eat anytime. read more

We are from California and we were on our way back from Idaho, and we randomly stop by here to fill up our tank of gas and go to the bathroom and then we found this diner across the street. It was charming with a little train tracks going through the restaurant and the food was absolutely delicious. I ordered chicken fried steak it was delicious. My niece ordered chicken fried bacon, yes I said bacon. And the cinnamon roll French toast absolutely the best breakfast I've had in a long time. Not to mention the gravy just been an added extra over the top gravy with so much flavor so good. read more

This was an unplanned stop during our trip from Boise to Seattle but I don't regret it. We arrived at around 1pm and were seated immediately. I got the Chicken fried steak, with two over easy eggs, two biscuits, and hash browns. The steak was tasty with a nice coating on the outside. The eggs were cooked properly to my requested doneness. The biscuits were average. The hash browns were fresh but not as crispy as I would have liked personally, if I go again I'll probably request them to be cooked extra crispy. My friend who got the pastrami jack melt with fries enjoyed his meal as well. I stole a few fries and really liked them. Overall I liked it and might stop by again if I'm in the area and looking for a meal. read more

Cute little train themed restaurant. We sat at a window table which I recommend because you got to watch the train go by. Also the have interesting trivia on each table for you to read through. Ok food. It's diner style and for what we got I was very satisfied. My sandwich was hot and tasty. I got the turkey Swiss avocado and the roll they used was not too soft and not hard. Everyone in our party seemed happy with what they got. Since I was on a road trip for this stop bathrooms were a big watch for me. 4 stars cause the bathroom was kinda gross and since they were busy it was a long wait. But for sure eat here if it's on your place to stop. read more

Food is great and the service was great as well. My taco Salad had no signs of ice burg lettuce only good greens!! The sandwiches were great I was told, 3 different styles of French dip!

Super, super cool little restaurant. They've got trains going throughout the restaurant and have an awesome setup. I can't wait to take the kiddo next time. Service was great and the place was clean. Food-wise, I had the club sandwich and it was delicious. I would also recommend the fried pickles...chips not spears. read more

Very good food. Staff are very friendly. The beers are from Barley Browns (I think it's the same family). There is a model train running through the restaurant, our son liked that. read more

4 of us to eat and 2 had burgers/ 2 had sandwiches..none of us could eat all our food, mostly the huge amount of fries. Awesome meals for all. Weather was cold/windy, we went in thinking soup and sandwiches....NO GO, does not have soup. We all should shame them into having soup read more

Model train decor, the train comes by your table every few minutes. Regular family food. Not many choices but good. But the floors and bathrooms need to be cleaner. Check back.... read more

Always a favorite when passing through town! Sad to hear hours of business were shorter but we made it work! Friendly quick service, wide variety of menu selection including breakfast all day. All ages enjoy watching the train running throughout the restaurant! read more

Sorry to say it looks like new owners. New menus no dinner just fast food, I will miss the place. read more

TRUCKER POST: Had the chicken omelet with a salad instead of potatoes or toast. Salad was very yummy, fresh mixed greens. The omelet was thin, which I love, but ALL DARK MEAT for $12 it was a little underwhelming. Coffee was good and always full. Server was very nice and wifi was free. Pretty expensive for what it was, but not many options with you're hauling a TRAILER, they're aren't too many options, better than subway read more

This is definitely a great place to relax and enjoy a wonderful breakfast. The food was fantastic and the service none the less. I tried the Country fried Bacon breakfast and it was absolutely amazing ! My lovely wife had the Rubin which was actually the 4th one on our trip and was in absolutely heaven. Her claim is that it was the best Rubin she has ever found. read more

food is good a tad oveepriced been here a few times but all the waitresses here are practically zombies bad additudes low effort and angry. came in an hour before closing and refused my and my partner breakfeast but claim to serve it all day. I don't belive it takes 40 mins for pancakes. Another ocassion she was just sour almost didn't want to tip any of them. as I've said decent food a bit over priced can get a better deal and customer service at oregon tail motel resturaunt. read more

If you like fried food this place is for you!! I stopped because the Yelp! Reviews are 4 Stars; All I can say is to the people who gave this place good reviews, what is wrong with you? I would not go here again. Beware of the gut bomb! read more

Stopped in Friday evening at 7:30 . Placed an order for a burger and a brew . Burger showed up 40 minutes later . The burger was suppose to have fries. I was told they were out at the moment but had some cooking. Now that I've eaten the burger the fries arrived . I got the beer 15 minutes after placing the order. The person I was with ordered the exact same thing except with a coke. They never received the coke. Our waitress did apologize and acknowledged the poor service. In summation ,if you are in no hurry,not worried about service and not particularly worried about cleanliness the place is ok. I don't recommend it for service ,or food quality . I won't be back ! read more

Wow.. really impressed with SJR. A buddy from Poky said he ate here not too long ago and recommended it. Said they have a model train that runs through the restaurant that adds a nice touch. The first leg of our spring break vacation was Baker City and we decided to give SJR a shot. Not disappointed! Food was excellent- from the chef salad to spicy chicken tacos to chicken fried steak and the fried pickles- all was tasty. My only complaint... only 3 beer choices (all micro IPAs)- I did break down and have a Jack Porter (I believe that was the name) IPA pint- what?! I wanted a beer with dinner and an IPA was better than nothing. But seriously SJR- you need to expand your beer selection. Ok, back to dinner... prompt, friendly service; did I mention excellent food; and a fair price. Good job SJR and Baker City- we'll be back! read more

We stopped in for lunch on our visit to town. The 3 of us split the mushroom burger and chefs salad. There was plenty left over. Large portions if you like to share. read more

One of our favorite places to stop on the road between Boise and Seattle. They are only open until 3pm and closed Mondays though, so time it right. They have a model train that runs all through the restaurant, which is great for entertaining the kids. Food is quite good, too. read more

Love this place! When we make the journey from Seattle to SLC as we occasionally do, we always time it so we can stop for a meal at Sumpter Junction each way. I have twin boys who are train-obsessed, so the train around the entire restaurant keeps them well-entertained, which is such a blessing when they've been trapped in the car for hours and hours. And my boys are SOOOO into trains that they have to "choo choo" very loudly and race around the restaurant, and I am very apologetic for them but the locals have been extremely patient and even amused. My boys have literally been talking about this restaurant since we went there a year ago (they were 3 years old!). That's how much they loved it...stayed in their little 3-year-old brains that vividly. The food is yummy, the service is excellent, and the people are awesome for putting up with us. Every time we make our way through Eastern Oregon we will stop at Sumpter Junction! read more

Hearty food!!! Read: heart attack food. Had the chicken fried steak with cheese and sausage gravy, and it tasted a lot better than it looked. Good coffee, clean bathrooms, attentive service. 70s decor with a little model train whizzing by your booth every 5 minutes makes this place memorably weird. Worth a stop off the interstate, this is good grease. read more

Super easy access off of the Interstate, tons of parking, room for trailers and RV's. The decor inside is SO CUTE - they have a model train running throughout the restaurant that is mesmerizing to watch. The food - holy smokes do you get a lot for the price - HUGE portions. Very well prepared and very tasty (we had breakfast). The servers - were extremely friendly, the food came out quickly. Prices were reasonable. Nothing bad to say about this place, at all. read more

The perfect breakfast to start our day with. We wound up here when we found out that the Best Western's in-hotel restaurant was closed for remodeling. I'm glad we did. Very diner-esque on the whole, with some interesting decor. Our waitress was everything you'd expect from a country cafe, very sweet and attentive, made nice small talk. Was very impressed with our meals. My French toast, eggs, and bacon were pretty much as good as it gets. The coffee was perfectly strong, and never went low. My boyfriend's chicken fried steak was good, though I'm not a huge fan of this particular meal. I loved the trains. The big display right by the front door was really well done and interesting to look at and appreciate. read more

Really loved the breakfast here. There were four of us and we ordered the chicken fried steak, biscuits and gravy, and an omelet. The hashbrowns were cooked perfectly. Not greasy or mushy! The portions were large so perfect for sharing. They have an extensive train display that runs throughout the restaurant so that you can see it wherever you are sitting. Service was excellent. read more

I have eaten here on many occasions as I am traveling to or from Ontario, Oregon. Each time I am not disappointed. I stopped for breakfast on Wednesday August 24th on my return trip to the Valley. They had a special called the Country Benedict, which was their spin on eggs benedict. It was two sausage patties with eggs on a country biscuit and slathered in country gravy! OMG! This was SOOO good! It was served with hashbrowns that were golden, crispy and delicious. Sumpter Junction Restaurant is ALWAYS busy, but I was seated and served very quickly. Each time I come here I am very pleased. As you travel I-84, take a moment to stop in and sample their food. You will be happy you did. read more

Average food but not your average restaurant. My Blackstone Bennie was bland. The hubby's biscuits and gravy were good. They are not getting 4 stars because of the food they are getting 4 stars because of the amazing train track that goes throughout the place. And they have stevia packets to sweeten your coffee! read more

My husband and I stopped by for a late breakfast. My husband had a recent surgery making it difficult for him to sit in a booth. Our waitress was very accommodating and showed us to a table where he was able to stretch out his leg. Even though we were the only ones in that area, she was very attentive and friendly. The food was GREAT, too. The portions are fairly large which left us with leftovers for later. We will definitely stop by again. read more

Decent food. Vegetarian options available. Mediocre service. Won't substitute food. Wasn't able to order exactly what we wanted. Train was cool to watch with a child but the service and food need work. Didn't ask how we wanted our eggs wouldn't substitute eggs for hashbrowns. Basic menu with breakfast. Stopped because we were on the road. read more
