    full order of biscuits and gravy - huge portion and best in town!

    good food, huge portions, and friendly service in a comfy railcar styled diner. Best biscuits and gravy in town! If you're not super hungry and don't want leftovers get a half order of the biscuits and gravy instead of full -- the full size is huge!

    A picture from across the street and they have great food

    Doesn't look like much but some of the best burgers and a wide variety of other things to eat. I would definitely go back.

    The train was really nice! The omelette was one of the best ones I've ever eaten. The service was good for being a duo handling the order and cooking.

    1/2 order

    While staying in Baker City, Oregon for the night, it was common sense to have breakfast at a local…read morediner called the Oregon Trail. It sounded like something a tourist should do when you're staying in a little town like Baker. The diner is part of the motel next door which is also called the Oregon Trail. Both venues are kinda dated. I'm sure in it's prime it was fabulous! But eating at this venue was pretty cool. It was like stepping into an old school time capsule. We sat ourselves at a booth on the very left of the diner. It was probably one of the only booths where the seating wasn't all messed up. We were instantly greeted and given menus. I did creep on their online menu this morning but it was good to see what I might miss. I got the country breakfast. It had two eggs, 5 slices of bacon and I opted for fresh fruit instead of the hashbrowns. The eggs were cooked perfectly, nice and yolky in the middle. The fruit was super fresh! It was still on the unripe side but still sweet. The bacon was ok. It was slightly overcooked in the middle and chewy on the ends. It was quite the experience eating here. The servers are really nice and really good at making sure your coffee cup is always full! By the time we left, there was a good crowd of people coming in. It was cool to experience Baker's local diner. It was neat dining here with all the locals.

    We saw this restaurant and decided to eat lunch here on . The decor is old school! Deer heads,…read morefish and cool stuff! So happy breakfast is served all day! Food was great and service was excellent. Everyone is so friendly. Will come again!
