6 Best American Restaurants near La Grande

“My favorite kind of place to eat is a local restaurant and long branch hit the mark perfectly our food was excellent and there was plenty of coffee. I have eaten chicken fried steak all over the country and this was one of the best I have had“

“I was blown away by the quiche at this place. It was so full of flavor, and the custard was perfect. The only unpleasant experience was a customer trying to rush the kitchen and being a bit of a butthead about things. Sometimes waiting twenty minutes is worth it. It definitely is in this restaurant’s case.All of the baked items we tried were amazing. The drip coffee is surprisingly good as well. Nice book selection, we found two for my toddler while hanging out.“

“First time visiting Dennys in LaGrande. I came for breakfast and coffee. I ordered the 9 grain pancake slam. They slammed this recipe home, let me tell you. The absolute best pancakes ever. Scrambled eggs with cheese, sausage, and fruit. I could only finish half, but I wanted more. This Dennys has friendlier staff than any Dennys I have ever been to, and I hope they keep it that way.“

“I have been all over this state for work from Medford to Astoria to Madras to Bend to Portland, and this Heaven sent restaurant is THE! best burger I have ever had in Oregon! The Filthy Frys were something to be held!Amazing staff, amazing music, amazing experience!Enough said!“

“A must stay if you are ever in the La Grande area and need accommodations. What a gem! My husband and I, plus teen daughter stayed in an upstairs room that was actually two rooms with a shared bathroom - one with a king bed and the other with a queen. The beds were so comfortable. Everything was very clean and uncluttered, with all the basic amenties needed. We had drinks and relaxed in the downstairs restaurant. The drinks (were great as was the atmoshere) before heading out to dinner. Which was a mistake, as we should have just eaten at The Laurel. Small menu, but from what we saw of the appetizers and dinners as we were sipping our drinks, it looked soooooo much tastier than we ended up with. It was quiet despite being on a main road. The other rooms looked to all be booked, but we never heard or saw anyone. There’s a shared balcony upstairs with seating and view of the street activity. Entrance after hours is by secure code to the building itself plus a separate code to the room. We felt very safe coming and going. We enjoyed coffee and a delicious breakfast sandwich in the morning at The Local right across the street. The historic hotel is within walking distance of shops and other restaurants. If our plans call for us to be back in the area, we would definitely stay here again over a regular hotel. And, we'll eat at the restaurant!“

“We had a great time and fantastic service from Hanna. The food was wonderful. Side note I have severe allergies and Hanna was amazing telling me about each ingredient. It isn't often I get that kind of service. Thank you benchwarmers and Hanna.“
