Austin House

We stopped in a few times. This place is ran by great people. The food is great. It's a nice break from having too many choices. You eat what they're cooking that night and it's good food. Not to mention having fuel and a small but considerate market. I will definitely make this a stop every time I'm in the area.

Stopped on our way back from Baker City. It was burger night. We got to pick toppings and the price was still reasonable at $12 for a burger with blue cheese and bacon, oven baked fries, plus, a big glass of homemade sun tea! The new owners are really nice and good cooks! Make this a definite stop on your next road trip down Highway 26!

We just bought a summer sausage.
Beautiful restaurant area!
Really nice selection of local stuff ..
Beautiful place!

“Ma” Austin founded this rest stop/restaurant in the early 1900’s during the heyday of the railroad logging years. She served trout, venison, and delicious pies. The current owners are equally gracious although the menu has changed. Anyone who travels Hwy 26 through here should definitely make this rest stop. The huckleberry ice cream floats are fantastic!

After a long days drive we were looking for a place to eat. Google led us to the Austin House. It was literally out in the middle of nowhere!
Inside is a little store with just about anything you would need. Lots of gifts! A nice selection of huckleberry gifts too. There was an ice cream and pastry case.
Around the corner in the cafe there is a beautiful bar from 1864. It is stunning! The place was very clean.
The owner (I think Christy) was manning the store and waitressing. Her husband was cooking. The food was delicious! Very quick too!
We grabbed one of Christy's homemade blackberry cobblers to bring home. Yum!
Christy was top notch! She has a sense of humor and quick wit, which we loved! We enjoyed our stop here.
We will definitely stop again when we are in the area!
