I am staying in the Joseph area on vacation, and this place came up as a good place to eat, so I…read morethought I'd give it a try. The food was really good. I got a large romaine salad with chicken. It was plain, but in a good way. I don't know what it is about Joseph and Enterprise, Oregon, but the size of their salads is about five times bigger than where I'm from, and I'm loving it. It was hard for me to finish because it was so big, and I am a big eater. The lettuce tasted very fresh, and the dressing tasted homemade. Regarding the service, the woman who greeted and served me was extremely polite. She checked on me often, filled my water every time it was down a couple of ounces, and seemed very kind. I would say the service was great. When it comes to the ambiance, this place is a trip. Honestly, I did a double take and walked in and out a couple of times because I wasn't sure it was a restaurant. I thought it was a pet shop. I honestly could not tell. To me, it was definitely quirky, but it fit the overall vibe of the town of Joseph. I really enjoyed watching all of the customers come in with their dogs. The dogs were so happy and immediately got treats. It was dog heaven, to be honest. It made me think about my dog, who is no longer with us, in kind of a sad way. At the same time, it made me want another dog. The next time I'm in Joseph, I'll definitely be stopping back by here to grab a bite.

The decor is fascinating. Part Old West kitsch, part small town charm. Memorials to local regulars who have passed create a special feeling in Cowboys and Angel's. Alicia is the daughter of the owners who cook and run the place with her help and a few other young folks. What a salesperson along with being a fantastic server. Alicia anticipates your needs before you even knew you had them. She put my husband's half-finished (delicious) choco shake into a little cup to go and brought a scissor to trim the straw to avoid poking one's eyes out! Hubs ordered the last homemade maple bar and Alicia warmed it up for him. Super fresh and so good!! I also couldn't help noticing the cinnamon buns the size of a tricycle wheel. To tempt me she gave me a mini size to sample. Don't tell my doctor. I'm not supposed to eat sugar, but that was gooooood! Also warmed up, btw. Moist and buttery cinnamon goodness. For main meals, I enjoyed the taco salad! What a winning combo of seasoned ground beef, fresh (not bagged) romaine lettuce, red onions, olives, avocados, salsa and sour cream on the side. No component was more prominent than any other. Even the sour cream was thick and rich. They fry the shells to order! A first for me and I have eaten many taco salads. Hubby had zero complaints about the cowboy breakfast with a huge ham steak, over easy eggs, hash browns and English muffin. See my pix and drool! Or better yet, when passing through Elgin on your way to Wallowa Lake and Joseph, have a meal and lots of fun with Alicia. We are likely stopping by again on our way home!

I loved that tater tots were an option instead of fries. They were the perfect pairing. We also shared a generously sized dinner salad that was fresh and a great complement to the meal. Happy hour is hard to beat with 50¢ beers and $1 well drinks! It was a little sleepy on a Sunday evening, but that gave us a chance to chat with the locals and enjoy the friendly, laid-back atmosphere. If you're in Joseph and looking for a casual place with great food, good prices, and genuine small-town hospitality, the Rusty Spur is definitely worth a stop.

Took them 45 min to get 3 of our orders done then 15 min To get the rest, food was alright though. Also ordered chicken sandwich and cut it open to share and figured out it was fully raw/pink. Was there for 2.30 hours. We thought it was just a bad day and they were busy so we went to breakfast the next morning we got welcomed and sat got our drinks pretty quick ordered and no surprise took us 45 min just to get our breakfast and we had to get up and find our waiter to get our refills food was OK again.

We happily took most of it home and enjoyed it again the next day. One thing I really appreciated was that they were happy to pour a few tastes of the beers on tap so I could find the right one instead of guessing. I landed on the Moose Drool, and it was the perfect match for the pizza. Great food, great beer, and friendly service. If you're in Joseph, Embers Brewhouse is definitely worth adding to your list.

Great outdoor seating with friendly staff and quick service. We split a pesto veggie calzone with a salad and some beer. We both hadn't had a calzone in years but it truly knocked our socks off. Such crisp dough, fresh filling, and really good sauces (ranch, hot honey, marinara). The salad was delicious and appreciated after many days of backpacking meals. Also great selection of local and far away beers on tap. Will definitely come back here next time we're in the Wallowas.

We stopped in for breakfast on a recent visit to Wallowa Lake. We had wanted to grab breakfast at…read morethe Blythe Cricket but it was closed on Mondays (even the 3rd of July). I love the Wallowa Lake lodge so I convinced my family to go there for a rare breakfast out before leaving town. We arrived and it was nearly completely empty(I should have taken that as a sign). I opted to sit outside since I love the porch and the backyard with its view of the creek. Our waitress was so cute and friendly but all of the menu items listed sourdough and she mentioned when I ordered (last of the group of 6) that they hadn't received their shipment of sourdough so the only option for bread was rye(which is odd since rye bread does not appear on the menu at all). She let me sub toast for a biscuit. The wait time was lengthy and when the food arrived it was mid. I ordered the veggie omelette, it was small and bland-not bad once salted but not generous in portion or well flavored. My biscuit, however, was the best part of the meal-flaky and a decent size. Our kids ordered pancakes and they looked (and tasted) burnt-like they had been cooked in a pan after cooking bacon-but no bacon flavor. My husband ordered the lumberjack and it would only satisfy an anemic lumberjack. It looked like only one egg was used for his scrambled eggs. The parking is convenient but I would def pass on breakfast here. It's edible but nothing special.
