This is a townie dive bar so as a greasy biker of course it's my kind of place. There is actually another dive bar in this tiny burb that I like better but this place is definitely ok. They have Colorado Koolaid light on tap so that and a burger and I'm a happy guy. They also serve up Chinese that's the sort of Chinese you'd never actually find in China but that's ok. The special is usually pretty good. No complaints at all. Staff is great. They leave you alone if you don't want to be bothered but are very attentive if you need anything or refills. Just what you'd expect from a townie bar eve though I don't live here. North Plains used to be out in the boondocks but with urban sprawl it isn't so much anymore. I like the people out here. Blue collar folks who actually work for a living. I mostly stop in here for a beer and a burger when I'm on my way home from the coast. They also put on a great breakfast and open up early so it's a good place to stop when I am headed west. read more

Amazing townie bar!! Love the vibe here. And I'm a little too obsessed with the HOMEMADE crab rangoons :) So good! All the bartenders are the sweetest folks ever. So happy to have this place in town! read more

The bartenders work their butts off to make sure all their customers are taken care of. They should be commended for how well they achieve that goal. read more

Fun. Laid back bar and restaurant that will not pressure you to order and order. Take your time, settle in and relax. Onion rings were huge portions...hubby loved the jalapeño poppers. My pic Iis less than half of my order! read more

The Old Hich'en Post - Onion rings....sorry I ate half before I remembered photo! - American Near Me - North Plains, Oregon

Great bar, and even better food. Salute to owner "Li" or "Lee" who makes this a must stop. Friendly service and pleasant environment. A Dive-bar vibe means great prices on drinks and a fun atmosphere. Menu surprisingly includes a variety of chinese foods that are very tasty . As an out of towner, i was pleasantly happy to come upon this establishment. Pool and video slots a huge bonus. I cant wait to return. 5 stars read more

If you expect fine dining you need to go somewhere else. It's a Dive Bar on the edge of civilization. I had a decent burger and outstanding tots, very crunchy and hot. The Bloody Mary was regular mix. The bartender was very busy, she did the cooking as well, the restaurant was closed, and she did a fine job. She exceeded expectations. (Onion Rings were great, too!) read more

Quality locally owned dive bar with surprisingly great food! Been coming here for 10+ years, and i hope to be coming back for another 10+ years! read more

this place sucks. the food sucks, the people suck, all the bartenders are on cocaine and just bitchy. the owner is cheap and waters down the liquor. do yourself a favor and keep driving by. hopefully they go out of business soon. read more

A nice relaxing place to have food and drink with friends. I really enjoyed their ample wings and jalapeño popoers. The blue cheese and Buffalo sauces are awesome. The atmosphere is really relaxing. A come as you are place and leave feeling better. read more

I've been there many times to eat breakfast and have Bloody Marys. The drink is never that great and my omelette is always over done. I've mentioned it every time I'm there and the female cook still doesn't get it omg! Please find someone to else soon. The drinks are getting worse as well . N.P mom read more

Good solid american breakfast place. The staff is friendly and patient with kids. Lots of locals in the early morning. Restaurant is separate from the lounge. It is only open for breakfast and lunch. read more

Great friendly service! Down home cooking that is a great way to end the day. Easy to strike up a conversation.

They serve breakfast and lunch from 9am to 2 pm. Their portions are big and the chicken fried steak is good. The staff is friendly but the overall atmosphere is horrific. Then again the majority of the time it is a dive bar with slots. Okay place to eat if you're snowed-in in North plains and desperate. As bars go, it's a pretty awful bar. read more

This place has a really nice 'local' feel. Nothing out of the ordinary but their breakfast is very good but the service is a bit slow. I would go back again. read more

Good bar for North Plains. Lots a locals. No-nonsense service. Draft selection could use some help. A little tweak. A good stop if you golf at Quail Valley. Haven't dined here yet. A lucky keno ticket makes me have good memories. read more

No stars willingly 1 STAR BECAUSE I KNOW OF NO OTHER PLACE TO GET FRIED GIZZARDS.. Double order gizzards two ranch sides for dipping, TO GO. Too much breading, ranch hot runny not cold creamy, adding insult to injury NO NAPKINS! OUTTA HERE! read more

This WAS a place we liked to come to for a quick breakfast... Corinna was awesome and knew what we wanted and how we liked our eggs etc Not sure what happened or why she isn't there any longer, but the place is falling apart now Took 20 minutes to place our order. During this time,we watched a table of 5 walk out. We also watched every other table have to send food back because it was NOT what they ordered. Our order finally arrived only to have scrambled eggs instead of over medium that was ordered. They tried to blame it on a new computer system that was sending the orders to the kitchen wrong. Then to top it off the owner or manager was conducting business at a booth nearby with her speaker phone on. Ugggg Corinna was the "glue" that held this place together I give them 6 months to run this place in the ground. read more

Incredibly blessed to have a place we can gather safely as a group. Service is always top notch and the food is good. I look forward to going every Tuesday read more

If you like food that comes from the frozen section of your supermarket, buy it there instead of paying extra to have them serve it to you here. Forgettable atmosphere, the only good thing about this place was the waitress who tried to be helpful with suggestions, stating that she wouldn't recommend anything that she felt was bad. This food is tasteless, so not sure just how she could recommend anything. Forget about stopping here, drive the extra distance to Hillsboro or anywhere else, not worth it. Bleah! read more

Small place with decent breakfast. They close after lunch and will open another side of the restaurant/bar area in which we never go. We will continue coming back for the breakfast. read more

Not too bad. People were friendly. Basic family restaurant atmosphere. Restaurant is only open for breakfast and lunch. The left side of the building is the restaurant, the right side is the bar. Food is decent and reasonable, I am deducting one star because their chicken fried steak comes out of a box (they don't make their own - just warm up the frozen ones). read more

The Old Hich'en Post - an empty restaurant - American Near Me - North Plains, Oregon

See all

We want to thank your beautiful waitress on Monday the 27th of August. We had just finished up at a festival and wanted to support local community before we went home. Tried a different restaurant in the town and they would not serve us but when we walked in to your restaurant at closing time, she stayed open for us and treated us like family. We had a great meal and never once did she try to hurry us even though she was technically closed. We were all so grateful to her and the cook staff for taking care of us. Each year we return for the festival Faerieworlds and each year we will make sure to stop and eat at your wonderful restaurant. The food was good and the service incredible. read more

Not the fastest place, not the best food, but if you want nice homey feeling where the waitress still calls you "hon" and the coffee never stops than this is the place. The food portions and price are great. The staff is very frendly. The food is good. I recomend this place read more

This is a small bar in North Plains. Doesn't look like much, but the bartender is super friendly and she highly recommended the Chinese food. Well, I took a chance and guess what? It was delicious. Exceeded my expectations! We were trying to go to the Helvatia bar and grill, but it was super packed and always is. So we went here instead. My husband got a burger and it was delicious as well. We will be back. read more

Awesome local restaurant! This place is a classic where the staff knows all the locals by name. The food is awesome and the prices are fair. If your traveling through the area and want some great food, this is your place. read more

Service needs improving. They forgot to brings items we ordered. Tables all around us remained uncleared (it wasn't that busy to do this). When we finally got our food it was good but it took forever. When our bill came the forgotten item was on our bill. Well let me say she still charged us for it so that ended being her tip. read more

Horrible service. Forgot silverware, never refilled coffee or water till we asked, flies everywhere...I had basic eggs hashbrown toast bacon. Meh. My brothers plate was not cooked at same time, and all of us were almost done with our plates by the time his came. That is pretty darn bad!! None of us even took to go boxes. Yuck. I have family that go for coffee meetup pretty much every weekday, so I suggested we try it one weekend with all of us (5 total). Stick with just coffee and you'll be alright. read more

On a discovery day to North Plains, stopped here for Sunday lunch. Sat at the counter and met several friendly locals. Waitress has been there 23 years, knows everyone and the scuttlebutt around town. My BLT was good. Decor could use a bit of a face-lift, but hey, it's a genuine small town diner (and bar at night?). So, if you go with that experience in mind, it can be an enjoyable option. read more

Small little place great for the local regulars. My drink had bugs in it the bartender said it was an old bottle they were trying to empty. She didn't throw it out. When I left I looked and the bottle with bugs in it was still on the bar, waiting to get the next patron sick. read more

Keep your expectations in check, but if you are looking for cheap beer, a patty melt, and to meet some real country locals then you've found it. read more

I have only eaten breakfast here and have really enjoyed it. I think they have the best biscuits and gravy in the area. My son loves their French toast. The portions are large and prices reasonable. They are very understaffed which can be a problem when it gets busy read more

Great bar. Excellent Chinese food and pizza. The blonde bartender Veronica is a ray of sunshine and super friendly. This place has improved tremendously over the past few months. read more

Labor Day. One waitress. The place was full of people that hadn't ordered. We ordered orange juice, but after 15 minutes of still waiting, left money on the table and left. People arguing their bill and others not getting the right food read more

Nice local gem. :) My family and I often go here a few times a month and it has a dish for everyone. The portions are generous, so typically one can be split between two of us. I really appreciate how quickly our order is taken and how fast our coffee cups are refilled (I am a big coffee drinker and this is a most if it is before 10am). Thanks! read more

I love the breakfast here! Giant pancakes, yummy sausage, yummy bacon, perfect eggs it hits the spot every single time love the bar as well it is very much overlooked but I always have a great time here! Grew up here so I love the whole atmosphere whether it's packed full of people or just a couple people at the bar. The bartenders are very sweet! DJ is always friendly and willing to play my requests even when they're are ridiculous read more

Veronica is all 5 stars:)!! Love her,the service,she is a rock star!! She gave great customer service at Topgolf,and her personality keeps you coming back! Who cares about the decor?! It's not your house,and the drinks are priced so you forget about it shortly lol!! Support our local businesses and Veronica!! Love and miss you at Topgolf!!! Montana:) read more

Service and company was great. We walked in at 2pm and was informed that they close at 230 so was a little rushed in ordering. Settled for burgers and fries, burger with egg and bacon on it. Was an ok burger, and fries were frozen type. The company was great though, we were the only ones there so we chatted with the waitress as we ate, she was very nice and fun to talk to. Basic mom and pop place, nothing all that special but not bad either. read more

Great place for an entomologist to eat and do work at the same time. I think they made a mistake when they sat us in our booth. Obviously it was already taken by a family of 12 flies. The people and staff are friendly, unfortunately so are the 12th generation flies constantly dive-bombing you while you try to eat. If you are brave enough to eat here, I'd recommend having an arm free to swat at them. The regulars brushed it off like it was part of the charm. To me, it was a lot like being on Fear Factor. read more

Suzie, the cook, forgot to make my husband's breakfast. My husband, brother-in-law and I were here on 6/24/18, on a Sunday. There were only two or three other people in the restaurant. We wondered why there weren't more people in the restaurant. Our waitress was really nice and gave outstanding service. Twenty minutes after ordering, the waitress brought out my breakfast and my brother-in-law's breakfast. A few minutes later our waitress came over and apologized to my husband because Suzie, the cook, forgot to make my husband's breakfast. So he waited, and waited. Our waitress came back about five minutes later and told us that she was paying for all of our breakfasts because this never should have happened. My husband told her to just skip making his breakfast. The waitress said that the cook had just 'started' cooking it. The waitress said that the cook was cooking it now. We waited for another 15 minutes, and during this time we saw about five or six platefuls of food being brought out to other customers. My husband just asked the waitress to just put his breakfast in a to go box. He thanked our waitress and walked out the door, because he was so frustrated. My brother-in-law went up to the counter. The owner blocked and stood in front of our waitress at the cash register. The owner charged my brother-in-law for two of our three breakfasts. I told our waitress and the owner that the waitress should not have to be the one to pay for our breakfast because it wasn't her fault. Suzie, the cook, has made several mistakes throughout the years, but hasn't made any mistakes in the past few years on our orders. We only live two minutes away from the restaurant. When we got home my husband ate his breakfast and it was cold! We have enjoyed eating breakfast here for over thirty years. But, NOT ANY MORE!!!!!!! read more

Customer service is great. Great breakfasts. Friendly happy people. Clean. Homey feel.
