The Main Street is a quaint little 50's diner in the middle of downtown Pendleton, OR, home of the famous Pendleton Round-Up. We asked the gas station attendant where to get a good breakfast, and he didn't hesitate in telling us "the Main Street Diner." When you first walk in, it feels like you stepped into the past. From the decor on the walls to the old-fashioned tables and chairs, it feels like 1950. The old movie posters on the wall brought back a lot of memories, and so did the 45's of Elvis, the Shirelles, Bobby Darin and more.
We ordered bacon and eggs and they were fantastic. Crisp thick bacon and three eggs with a mound of hashbrowns and toast, cooked just the way we like them. The waitress was friendly and our coffee cup never ran out. We went back for lunch and had what they call an "Italian Stallion", which tasted like a pizza in a sandwich. It contained pepperoni, ham, bacon and cheese and was really quite good. We also shared an old-fashioned milkshake, served in the tin mixing container and topped with a cherry and whipped cream! A highly recommended restaurant.
Overall: Worth driving from anyplace
