A friend told me that Hamley Steakhouse was an absolute MUST when visiting Pendleton, so I decided to give them a try. In the center of historic downtown, Hamley's has large rooms, high ceilings, and lots o' wood, copper and brass, their western motif is warm and inviting.

 

The prices are a bit on the high side, $20 for Meatloaf, $23 for Country Fried Steak and $56 for a 14 oz Rib Eye for example, but the food did not disappoint. The Cowboy Cordon Bleu ($21), a fried chicken breast stuffed with ham and Swiss cheese, then covered with a rich and zesty red pepper and mushroom cheese sauce, was savory and succulent. The homemade mashed potatoes were abundant and tasty, also having been topped with the same cheese sauce, and the accompanying green beans were fresh and hot. An extra $4 got me a side Cowboy Caesar Salad, bringing the total to $25 even (no sales tax in Oregon) plus tip.

The service was excellent, the food plentiful and tasty, and the environment comfy, having been a nice diversion on a long road trip home from Colorado.

San Juan, Puerto Rico: We came for the piña coladas... advertised prominently out front as "2 for 1" until 7pm weekdays ... and decided to try a burger ($10.95) with cheese and fries because the server told us "our burgers are the best, not only in Puerto Rico, but in ALL OF THE US!" We trusted her, first mistake!

Pina Colada - $9

Our burger FINALLY arrived after 30 minutes and was slightly bigger than a White Castle (Whitey One-Bite). There was no sauce, the patty (advertised to be 8 ounces) was small, maybe 5 ounces at best, and accompanied by a pickle spear, very small slice of tomato, and a little lettuce. The fries were shoestrings and not many of them at that. We finished the sandwich literally in less than 3 minutes and I am not a fast eater by any stretch.

Thankfully, the piña coladas ($9) were large and tasty, not strong, good, but thank God it was happy hour because they were way overpriced … $33 for two drinks and an itty-bitty burger ... Never again!
