The Gingerbread House is a quaint little cafe that serves home-style cooking hot and fresh. I had the Jalapeno Cheese Burger with home-style fries. Small seating area, fresh handmade gingerbread house cookies, and reasonably priced handmade jewelry. Friendly service, public bathroom, plastic & cash accepted. Place your order at the front desk and have a seat for a fresh home-cooked meal. My personal favorite; is the Bacon-Cheese Burger with Jalapenos. Yummy

I have such fond memories of this establishment! When my family would drive up to visit my grandparents in Black Butte, we would stop here for a quick meal. I would always get a hot dog. The food was always great, the service excellent and the vibes are always right. I'm 39 now and miss those childhood memories.

Food was fantastic! Wife and I split a large double burger. They have many milkshakes flavors and malts. We thought the price was very high. 1 burger , tater tots and milkshakes come to 33. Every thing was very tasty.

It was a joy meeting Carol and eating here. You can tell she truly cares about her customers. Our meals were all prepared with love! I had the veggie omelette and it was healthy and delicious. Gently steamed veggies, not greasy or overcooked. My daughter had the burrito and my husband ordered chicken fried steak. All were wonderful. They have a cute area for photos and you can decorate rocks and put them around. Just a wonderful time!

We found this gem during our west-coast trip. The Gingerbread House exceeded our expectations. The jalapeno burger was exceptional. The fries were perfectly crisp. The onion rings were out of this world! Not greasy, perfectly crisp. These are the best onion rings I have ever tried! We topped it off with a gingerbread cake with ice cream! It was absolutely delicious! Also, the choc shake was another hit! Definitely a gem you din’t want to miss out on when in the area. We will definitely be back if we take another trip to Oregon!

The owner really puts the Q in quality. We ordered BLTs and they were huge. The freshest of the fresh! My son ordered biscuits and gravy well after breakfast time and we also got gingerbread men and cobbler. Perfect! I wish I had taken photos of the cute gingerbread “kids” in the forest or the chickens or the huge, happy pig outside. Very accommodating to my autistic son.

My husband and I just stopped here for a late lunch. We’ve passed by here many times on the way over the mountains, but never stopped. I had a garden burger, which was “the original garden burger” you don’t see on menus very often anymore (but which taste the best in my opinion). My husband had a 1/3 pound cheeseburger. They were both so delicious! The buns taste like they are homemade and were fresh and soft, and the burgers cooked perfectly. Just like you’d hope classic diner food to be. The fries and chocolate shake were great too. The best part though, was the service. The staff was super friendly. Highly recommend!!
