Shari's Cafe and Pies 319 Southeast Nye Avenue, Pendleton, OR 97801

"If you are looking for professionalism, class, and pristine cleanliness, go somewhere else. If you want good food with a friendly, truck stop diner like feel, then this is the place. Our server shouted across the restaurant asking how many in our group. He was very loud, while also nice and friendly. The workers all talk loudly to each other and complain about management in front of customers. It’s weirdly entertaining. Like eating lunch in the middle of a reality show or something."

"8-31-23. Mom and I went in giving Shari's another try. Well I can say we were not surprised about our experience. First off, our server was new and told us she was still in training. Well I do not fault her for what happened. We decided to order the fish and chips and my mom had a cup of loaded baked potato soup, I had the same thing as well but with a of the soup. We waited for around 15-20 minutes for any food to show up. Well the server brought our main entree, fish and chips, did not bring the soup and asked if we wanted after our entree. I could not believe I had to advise her that normally when you order a soup or salad, that should first before your main entree. The soup was so bland I almost laughed at it. The coleslaw was shredded cabbage and mayonnaise only. We were told that there was no tartar sauce they ran out and the manager had gone to the store to get some more. How can you be a cook and not be bothered to make a tartar sauce. I mean tartar sauce is so basic to make. Tartar sauce. I mean come on, that is freaking basic to make. I would not go back to Shari' Oh, I am including a pic of the men's bathroom counter"

"11 July 2023 - 4 Stars The food was as expected. Filling at a good price. Great Pie to end the meal. First time i ever had a waiter, waring his phone - with music playing. On top of that, it was playing loud enough to be heard while a full restaurant separated us. Often, it was much louder than the music being played by the restaurant sound system. At times, as the waiter passed by, you could hear him singing to the music playing on his hip. The waiter gave great service and was pretty fast in all areas of his work. The restaurant itself is in need of some repairs. A number of the seats have colored tape on them. While the tape matches the color of the seats, it was obvious they are covering rips and tears on the seats."

"We ordered the Country Fried Steak breakfast and it was incredible. Everything was cooked perfectly and the portion was huge. The country fried steak was delicious with a good gravy and not greasy. The scrambled eggs, hash browns, and pancakes all had a good flavor. My husband and I shared the breakfast and could barely finish it. We were stuffed for the day. We were visiting with an Aunt we hadn't seen in 40 years. She had a burger and fries and said they were delicious. She took half of hers home. After seeing some of the negative reviews, we were doubtful; but can honestly say we had a great meal. The waitress didn't refill my water glass so I drank everyone else's water since they had other drinks, but I think she was trying not to disturb us. When we were leaving, I forgot my Wet Ones on the table and she came outside to give them to me. So nice of her. That definitely makes up for not refilling the water glass."
