Apple Peddler

This place is amazing!! My buddy got the breakfast chicken fried steak and it came with a huge side order of biscuits and gravy and 2 eggs...I got French toast with warm apple cinnamon and whipped cream, sausage and eggs. The waitress was lovely. The chicken fried steak was crispy and amazing. Coffee refills as soon as it got low. 10/10 will stop here again. I love traveling and finding great food spots... this is one!!!

Came for breakfast and it was great! I had apple pancakes and Katy had a scrumptious breakfast burrito. The burrito consisted of egg, bacon and sausage with salsa. Teralyn served us expertly and kept our coffee cups warm with plenty of refills! When you're in Sutherlin, Oregon definitely a first choice for a quality eating experience!

The Apple Peddler was est in 1987, as the menus will tell you on the cover. One could surmise the restaurant hasn't seen much, if any remodeling since then as well. On the surface it appears to be a lovely, and even stylish 80s diner. However. The trim is peeling in several places, sometimes held on by scotch tape, the bathrooms are frighteningly unhygienic to say the least, and the old 80s ceiling has certainly seen better days. The faux leather booth seats were old, peeling, and cracked. The places not disguised by trim looked unclean, and untouched for years. The service. I was seated fairly quickly upon entering, the staff was kind, and even a bit overly attentive. The waitress stopped at my booth every time she passed, which was considerate at first, but became an annoyance as time went on. Bring me a variety of condiments before the food arrived. The service I would actually still give a 4/5. After roughly 30 minutes the food made its way out. On to the meal itself. I ordered a chicken fried steak, with over hard eggs, and a side of 3 pancakes. No drinks, but their less than fresh tasting tap water. The chicken fried steak was hard and dreadfully dry on the outside, the batter inconsistent across the whole steak, thicker/thinner in several places. My eggs were cooked decent, albeit a bit slimy on the surface, some of the yolk not having cooked thoroughly in some places. Finally, the pancakes, 3 dry, rubbery pancakes, that without a fair amount of sugar/butter lack almost any flavor. The value of this experience i would say is on par with a local lackluster Sharis. If you are simply passing through, and need something to eat on the way out, it may be worth it, you won't find much better sit down for some miles in either direction. If you aren't overly hungry though, opting to go to the next couple towns over, isn't a bad decision, unless you really want to try this places desserts.

Great breakfast experience. We had our 16 month old with us and they immediately brought us a little thing of fruit for her, just because they are amazing. I had a classic French Toast that was delicious and my husband had a good omelet. Also, they have great hot chocolate. Definitely would go back if we are in the area again.

The food and and the service were NOT worth our time or our money! The service was so poor and unfriendly, that for the first time in 10 years, I left a nickle for a tip. Perhaps she will think about that. We do not know her name as we never had a clear opportunity to see if she was wearing a name tag. The food was luke warm and the service was cold, unfriendly. She NEVER smiled! We will NOT be returning. There are far too many restaurants (including fast food establishments) that give great service and much better food for our money. We were there at approximately 3pm, 4/14/2022. Extremely disappointing.
