Excellent little Brewer and bakery, tasty food. Very good beer, especially the Mexican chocolate and the Vienna lager blend, which had a nice hop after taste. Very friendly staff, it's worth a visit.

It was fairly quiet when I arrived but picked up later. The Trailbender IPA was excellent, very West Coast. Food was good and well presented by a very friendly server who took the time to answer my many questions. A cool place in a small town. Very impressed and wish I had another day to hang out

The service was great and the food was amazing. The brussel sprouts appetizer was so yummy. I had a grain bowl with shrimp-spicy and delicious. I would come back!!

We had a steak. It was okay not great. Fries were soft. The jalapeno burger was not spicy at all. Jarred jalapeno. Needed seasoning. The server was great. Atmosphere was nice. Bathrooms were clean and painted interesting.

We ate here because of good reviews on our way through town to a camping trip and it was so good we made sure to eat here on our way back through as well! Great food and service! I wish we had this little gem in our hometown!

Stopped for a quick bite to eat while on the Giant Loop Rally. We had the Thai peanut wings and the stuffed jalapeno. Both were excellent, bf had a local IPA and I had a local CBD Blood Orange drink that was excellent. Our server was great, knew the menu and made great suggestions.

Great food. Salmon chowder was amazing. Great casual atmosphere. Very welcoming staff. Not how I expected to be treated in such a redneck town. Thank you 1188. We will be back.

Wow! Great fresh food, atmosphere and service. I’m very impressed and satisfied. I had the Blue Mountain Burger, Jalapeños Stuffers, 2 pork tacos, 2 cocktails, and everything was absolutely excellent. 1188 has standard and unique menu items, well designed interior great service, and it’s kid friendly. Highly recommend for anyone and everyone visiting John Day.
