This Cafe is worth the visit. You will get your money's worth. This was my first time. Had the fried chicken with potato wedges and chili. Everything was delicious. It's in downtown but you won't regret it.

Amazing breakfast. You must try the chicken fried steak one of a kind. I don't know about the bar at night, but we stopped in for breakfast and were extremely happy. It takes time because of the small kitchen but its well worth the wait.

What a great place to stop on a road trip! very old bar and a large selection of locals to speak with the bartender was excellent and made me golf. the nike jordan golf clubs were a funny note) bar was clean and eating was fresh, good value and tasted amazing. a stop for the trailer who needs a break from the road. I understand that they remain open much later than others in the city.

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.

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.

Note to self: NEVER go to The Bo during or after an event! Nothing like the lack of the red carpet. Paper cups and plates, plastic ware and serve yourself water and coffee. How about waiting over an hour for some limited food choices. Nothing like some over easy scrambled eggs, over cooked ham and over margarined toast.

Best service I've ever had at the bow and that's saying something.
