Snaffle Bit Dinner House

That must have been done while my phone was in my pocket. I have loved every meal I have ever had at the Snaffle Bit Dinner House. I have bragged how good the food was. Best place to eat in John Day. True story. Three weeks ago, while walking around a yard sell, phone in pocket, I received an email thanking me for my purchase. While in my pocket I ordered and payed for a new toilet from ebay 365$ Now that wasn't funny.

Was passing through, planning on going to Grubsteak. As luck would have it- Grubsteak was closed. I was SO GLAD! Brenda was awesome!! The steaks are top quality. I had the ribeye and HOMEMADE tomato soup with baked potato. Highly recommend the Copper style. It is WELL worth the money. I promise you haven’t had anything similar before. I’ll definitely try to be back at some point!!

To be honest I really wish I could say that I have eaten here. I was unable to order and struggled to find an updated menu. I was able to get in contact with a sweet lady there and get an updated menu but was not able to get in contact with her again after several calls to order. The many years I have been cooking I haven’t ran into one place that does not have issues in updated social media, websites, internet and phones plus a downed POS every once in awhile. I have been through the evening rush, Fridays that are a big day for customers who recently got paid, catering, events, parties and so I am one who knows more than most when things get sour... they get sour. This place seems to be suffering from one or all of the above or I’m just one for bad timing ( as usual ). I don’t know if it’s because the food is so amazing and that they are so slammed that they just can’t keep up with demand or it’s just lack of strong leadership and organization from crew members or managers. My review is solely based on trying to order and my experience and background in this industry let me make this clear so you don’t read this like the food is bad, THE FOOD HAS A WONDERFUL REPUTATION FROM ALL WHO HAVE EATEN THERE. Just seems unattainable And it’s a bit depressing to be honest because word around town says they are top notch Who knows...Maybe next week I get to have that experience. As a last note it would be awesome to know when they are done taking orders or any reservations on social media. It just keeps people in the know so they don’t end up depressed like I have 2 times in a row LOL :)
