What Lucinda O'Conner doesn't like about Rainbow Cafe:
Nice atmosphere, okay drinks, okay food. It’s open later than anything else downtown, so unless you want generic fast food out by the interstate, this is a good bet. Make sure the salt and pepper are handy. View all feedback.
We didn't get the pleasure of trying the food because we got into town late but if it's anything like Zacks service I have incredibly high hopes. He was awesome and I will be back when I come through for sure!
Breakfast was the usual greasy spoon. It’s very dark so a good place to meet your less attractive friends.
I was in town working nightshift on a nearby wildfire, needless to say I had quite the appetite, and the rainbow filled it. The food was great, and the service better! Thanks to Dani for taking care of us so well!
During my 8 day road trip to Lincoln City, Seattle, Portland, and back to Salt Lake City, I think this was my favorite meal all week. It's a seat yourself place, and I urge you not to be discouraged if it takes an extra second for the staff to reach you at first. Be patient, and if you sit in the back, you can watch the fantastic cook prepare all the yummy food. We had 2 Chuckwagon Benedicts and shared a blueberry pancake (because it was that huge . The music playing set the perfect vibe, and we made a strong connection with the waitress when Chappell Roan started playing. It was so much fun and such a delicious meal. Dani, if you're reading this, you were the best!! I hope we can come back soon and sing Hot To Go together again :
GREAT vibes. This bar made me wish I was staying in Pendleton longer than one night. We were weary travelers passing through the night. Salvation was found at the Rainbow Cafe. The drinks were flowing, and the food warmed our souls. Sure, the cowboy vs Irish identity was weird at first, but take some time to look around and admire the fascinating decor and history surrounding you. One of the owners served us and he was quite the baller. 10/10 would recommend you stop in for at least a drink if you're traveling through pendleton. I shall be back for you Rainbow Cafe, eventually.
