    Breakfast with a view
    Leticia V.

    We stopped here for breakfast on a Sunday morning around 10am. Our girls group just had a fun weekend renting a local cabin and this was our final stop before everyone headed in different directions home. This place was busy and had no visible parking out front but we noticed a half broken sign that said more park..so we went down a gravel drive and found some free spots for our cars. It was so crowded inside we asked to sit out in the patio area. The weather was lovely and that mountin morning breeze felt great! I got the chicken fried steak and one pancake with the marionberry compote (only available in season jun-aug) on top. This was probably one of the better Chicken fried steaks I've had. Its season well, crunchy, and it sits on a bed of peppery gravy. The potatoes are soft and the eggs were cooked perfectly over medium. The biscuit that came with was also soft and buttery. If you're a CFS lover, I highly recommend this one. The pancake was for the table and we all agreed the marionberry was the star of the show! So sweet and citrisy! The pancake was golden crispy with a fluffy center and had a delicious vanilla note. It was a great place to fuel ourselves for the road while reminiscing on an epic girls weekend!

    Eggs Benedict

    Busy little place. Was very happy with our food. Staff were very friendly. Be patient and just enjoy.

    Prices are a bit high, ~$25 for most breakfasts, $8 for 2 eggs, but I'd imagine it's expensive to get ingredients out here, Staff was friendly, it took less than 20 mins from walking in the door to having food in front of me, super speedy! Food was good too I had the chocolate chip pancakes. Two huge pancakes for $18, I couldn't even finish the plate. Wood tables and chairs with a gorgeous view of the forest.

    Lumberjack Breakfast and Eggs Benedict
    Cathy S.

    We stopped here on our way home out of Government Camp (less than 15 mins drive) for breakfast. It was pretty empty for a Monday morning so we had our pick of the seats and decided to sit right by the window. I would describe the style as cabin getaway vibes. They have the main restaurant part and a deli section for grab and go things. There was also an upstairs area where the restroom was but I wasn't sure if it was actually open for dining (my toddler loved the wooden bear statue toilet holder! How cute!) There was a corner area by the fireplace mantle with board games that seemed very family friendly. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and were told we can sit wherever. And water and drink orders were taken right away. I got the Lumberjack Breakfast special with the sourdough pancake option (available when they have them) and the sausage was super flavorful! My husband got the classic eggs Benedict. We got enjoyed our breakfast potatoes and I'm glad his came with fresh fruit! I haven't made up my mind about the sourdough pancake yet but I would recommend coming for breakfast here in our out of your way from your Government Camp trip!

    Boxes stored everywhere, dirty glass, chitchat in the kitchen.

    The place is filthy and disorganized. The air and walls are greasy and gross. Seriously overpriced. Food okay. Service mediocre. Four employees standing around chatting instead of cleaning or filling coffee. Avoid this cafe at all costs.

    It's so bad. The prices are obscene especially for the quality. It was $9 for a side of 2 eggs just as an example.

    Food (scrambled eggs, biscuits, and pancakes) was fine but $7.25 for a biscuit and $7.40 for a soft drink was too much :-(

    Expensive food. Uninviting and rude staff. Looks run down from the inside and not really much of a store at al. Outside is pretty though! ;)

    Waited about an hour for food that tasted a bit bland for the price tag. Interior is cute but overall I'd look elsewhere for breakfast

We asked for extra sauce and WOW did they comply! They do not skimp on toppings like most places. You get a wonderful amount of toppings, cheese and their tomato sauce is excellent! And!!!

We were totally amazed and VERY happy customers! The waitress was so wonderful, helpful, knowledgeable, kind and patient with us (we had 2 young children with us). And!!! If you love the mountains like we do, the restaurant is a log cabin located in the forest so enjoy the warm, rustic dining atmosphere! There's an upper level that you can from your table and it's filled with beautiful, old antiques! Well done, Zig Zag Inn!!! Next time we're in the area we will definitely be back! AND, let me also say, it is kept very nice and clean! YES! 5 thumbs up!!!

    Zig Zag Inn - Baked chicken dinner was horribly overcooked. Huge chunks in mashed potatoes. Gravy was not even warm.

    $17 bucks for an OK slice of pizza and a soda…read more I get it with the prices... The place is remote, they do have a high overhead in running the place, and yes, they have a captive audience. If you want to get something to eat otherwise you have to go several miles down the road. I get it, but at least make the food a little bit better... It is a nice place, it's down some steps, a little hole in the wall. . It is small. The regular slices of pizza were eight bucks, they wanted 12 bucks for a slice of their "special" pizza. I chose the barbecue chicken, pizza, chicken, Walla Walla, onions, garlic, and the base of the pizza is barbecue sauce instead of tomato sauce.. The crust was just OK. It was kind of chewy. It tasted a little bit flat. I could definitely smell the garlic and taste the garlic, and the onions were OK. I did like the barbecue sauce. It had a nice flavor to it. The chicken? Not much of it, and what there was was tiny little pieces. I could hardly taste it at all. Look, if you're gonna charge that much for a simple slice of pizza and call it a barbecue chicken pizza, at least put a fair amount of chicken on it. I was disappointed. I wouldn't eat here again.

    We were in the midst of our August anniversary trip and had taken a nice drive to visit Mt. Hood…read more As we had already had brunch a few hours earlier, we weren't exactly hungry, but wanted some beers. Mt. Hood Brewing looked promising, so we decided to stop by. It was also in the middle of a heat wave in OR, so we asked to sit outside. After my husband snagged our table, I brought our well-trained and well-behaved Siberian with us to the patio. There was another poorly-behaved dog, but my dog could not have cared any less, and it was far enough away that it didn't bother me too much either. The outdoor seating was minimal and basic, but did the job. Thankfully there was shade from the umbrellas. I put my dog in his "tuck" command under me as he is trained to do at restaurants, and proceeded to look at the menu. To be honest, the food looked pretty good, and also smelled pretty good, as I watched other patrons get their meals. However, we were still pretty stuffed, so we settled with a beer flight. The beers were out to our table pretty quickly, but after trying them, my husband and I came to the consensus that we expected more from the only brewing company in town. As another Yelper put it, the beers fell flat for us too. I was hoping there would be more/different notes to each beer, which is the whole point of sampling multiple, but they all seemed quite monotone. It started getting pretty warm underneath our umbrella, so we quickly wrapped up our beer flight and left. The view was gorgeous, and the location splendid (hence the 4 stars), and perhaps next time I'd be down to try one of their dishes, specifically the elkburger, but I was a little disappointed in the beer. I've been to plenty of breweries to enjoy beers there and also bought craft beers/growlers for home, so I'd like to say I'm decently versed in beer, but this missed the mark.
