Wallowa County offers a fine blend of rustic to refined dining. From hamburgers to enchiladas and chow mein, you should find something to titillate your taste buds.

Wallowa Lake has the famous Vali’s, Russell’s at the Lake, Summit Grill and the Glacier Grill. And don’t forget the mouthwatering feasts at the Wallowa Lake Lodge.

Joseph provides a mouth watering array of choices. Authentic Mexican Food served by friendly waiters can be enjoyed in the beautiful garden pond setting just next door to Stagestop Realty.

Love Pizza? Try Ember’s Brew House or Gobbler’s Knob where you can rent a movie too. For a great Steak & other specialty’s stop by The Stubborn Mule or The Outlaw.
For friendly, great, down home cooking you can’t beat the Cheyenne Café. Others include The Mountain Air Café, R & R Drive Inn, Old Towne Café, or Calderas for a fine dining experience. Don’t forget the Hydrant Pub for one of the best hamburgers in town.

Enterprise offers an array of fine dining establishments. La La Guna and El Bahia Mexican Restaurants and Happy Garden Oriental Restaurant offers international treats, while others like Subway, Friends, Heavenly’s and the Top Hand Café offer great food with a chance to meet the locals. Remember that mouth watering meals can be found at Lear’s Main Street Pub & Grill, and the Range Rider Saloon. Ummmmm! Love that steak and the cheeseburgers. For a special treat, stop by New York Richie’s. You’ll not only enjoy the yummy pizzas and special sandwiches, the owner is a kick.

If you are driving through Lostine, don’t hesitate to take your family in to the Lostine Tavern for a super breakfast or scrumptious cheeseburger.

If you are in a hurry while driving through Wallowa, pull up to the Little Bear Drive Thru and order one of their great meals and famous shakes to go. If you have time to relax for a great steak dinner, try Plush West Steak House & Saloon.
