Dig In Diner - Fossil

This place was great! Unfortunately according to their signage they are permanently closing as of January 1st. I believe that this is the only place to eat in the area so if you're looking for food, stop by. The service was great and so was the food. They use locally sourced beef and fresh vegetables. If you have a chance to stop by before they close you MUST try the cheese curds.

Great place! Food was spectacular (delicious Halibut fish and chips, burgers, veggie sandwiches and amazing homemade fries! , but the real highlight of our dinner was the live music, which was fantastic! All around excellent service and just a fantastic way to wind down after a long road trip and great day visiting the John Day area. Highly recommend!!

Awesome service, awesome food. We just loved this place and thought it was quirky as the town of Fossil. Loved the hamburgers and the halibut. They have three different parts of the restaurant, the cafe, the dining hall and the bar.

If I could give more then 5 stars I would! Food is great, atmosphere is welcoming and the owners are amazing. This place is a must if you are anywhere near Fossil.

This was the only diner open in Fossil when we arrived. Everything else closed at 6p but let me tell you we were not disappointed one bit. The service was great. The place was busy with locals and they treated us just the same. They were exceptionally nice and brought us a big basket of fries to share while we waited for our meals because the wait was going to be about 45 minutes. When we finally got our food and it was worth the wait. Delicious burgers, fries were hot with a little bit of seasoning, crunchy on the outside and nice and tender on the inside. We had a great meal and an excellent experience. We will be back!
