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. What Mollie Smitham likes about Rainbow Cafe:

This is the best place to eat and drink in Pendleton. Great breakfast, lunch and dinner. Fried chicken awesome

The Rainbow Cafe in Pendleton is a legendary local institution that has been serving up good food in a unique and authentic old West atmosphere since 1883. Despite some reviewers noting that the service could be slow at times, the breakfast options are highly recommended, especially the chicken fried steak. With a great atmosphere, friendly service, and a historical charm, the Rainbow Cafe is a must-visit stop for anyone passing through on a road trip or looking for a break from generic fast food options downtown. The bar is also a popular spot for locals, offering a large selection of drinks and a chance to chat with the bartender. If you find yourself in Pendleton, make sure to stop by the Rainbow Cafe for a memorable dining experience with a touch of local history.

Breakfast was the usual greasy spoon. It’s very dark so a good place to meet your less attractive friends.
