If ever in Eastern Oregon be sure to check out the Cowboy Dinner Tree INC. Ranch style cooking in an awesome atmosphere!
You will not leave hungry! You can order either a 26-30 oz Cowboy Cut Sirloin or a Whole Chicken, served with a baked potato, Cowboy beans, a salad, they have great iced tea, and finished off with strawberry shortcake or butter cream pie. Naturally, I tried both! The food was all fantastic!
A little backstory: Years ago, under a lone juniper tree stood an old shack—now home to Cowboy Dinner Tree. Back then, ranchers drove cattle from Paisley, Summer Lake, and Silver Lake through the Sycan Trail to the lush meadows of Sycan Marsh. The Dinner Tree marked the halfway point, where hungry cowboys found the chuck wagon waiting with buckaroo beans and biscuits. Now it is the Dinner Tree carrying on the tradition and still serving homemade from scratch ranch style food.
