Shorthorn Bar & Grill

Just had a great milkshake,grilled cheese, and fries. Good diner food and nice folks.

You walk in and immediately get the good "diner vibe." I want to go back when hunting season is in full swing. As it was, eavesdropping on rancher talk was a charming listening-in on the agrarian slice of America. In conversation, our server told me her daughter owns the place. Now, ain't that quaint?

Speaking of charming slices, breakfast was just what I'd hoped it'd be - the hashbrowns and eggs weren't overly shiny and the 3 buttermilk pancakes (in lieu of toast) were AMAZING. My strategy for this more-than-ample plump proffering was to scarf the ham 'n eggs, nibble on the hashbrowns (watching carbs these days) and to eat only one of the pancakes. I was stuffed. The star of the plate were the pancakes! Dense, chewy, gorgeous texture and taste. I took the two survivors with me and my girlfriend enjoyed a Shorthorn brekkie the next morning.

In the category of "I WISH," it would be great if they served 100% pure maple syrup. And real butter. But that's just not gonna happen in most simple eateries, now is it? Other than those two minor non-issues, this was a splendid place to eat a splendid breakfast in a splendidly rural setting.

Of the 30 entrees, only 2 were over ten bucks. In my opinion, that makes this joint score a single $ in terms of price.

Not many places to eat in this part of Baker County.  The omelet was quite good.  The potatoes were packaged and fried, a bit greasy but not terrible.  The toast was store-bought bread.  Portions were generous.  Eat here and you'll be satisfield.  

There's a bar attached but we didn't go in there.
