Reviews
This food review is really only about their biscuits and gravy (with a side of crispy bacon), since i don’t remember trying anything else. I’ve gone for it several times but the last time was good enough that i had to add them to google maps just so i could leave this review. It’s the best b&g in The Dalles, as i’m certain bc i’ve eaten at literally every (sit down) restaurant here, and looked for good b&g on several additional attempts.
The key to a good biscuits and gravy is actually the biscuit. The gravy is pretty simple. This time, the biscuit had that perfect toasted in butter on a skillet texture, giving a little crunch and not falling apart or getting mushy over time. The gravy could be better with a little more pepper and more sausage, but it does the job it needs to do.
I always get an extra bit of bacon unless i know the gravy is loaded with sausage and on this trip the bacon was perfect, flat and crisp like you’d want for a BLT. The fat was crisp instead of mushy and the meat part wasn’t overcooked. Brilliant!
4 stars instead of 5 bc i haven’t tried their other food and previous visits weren’t as good. There are a few other places in town that might have the quality but their prices are obscene for such a simple dish, while here it’s very reasonable. Drive up the hill. It’s open to the public, Bldg 1, 2nd floor.
