We stopped here for lunch at the recommendation of a great friend. His description was spot on. We had a bacon cheeseburger and a regular cheese burger. They were old school delicious! Perfectly grilled bun, all of the condiments were fresh and delicious. The burger was cooked perfectly and lean. Fries were abundant and not greasy. To top off our meals, we had an amazing milkshake (mint/Oreo) and a chocolate/cherry malt perfectly balanced. We could have split this meal as portions were large.
We passed through Fields several times during our camping trip in the Steens. We enjoyed their signature delicious huge cooling milkshakes, bought gas, ice and a hefty breakfast sandwich. I never miss stopping here when I'm in the area.
We had been looking forward to having the famous milkshakes for weeks. We ordered and paid for our milkshakes and the girl that took the order and the money said nothing about our having to wait outside. Our friends were looking at the items on the shelves, hoping to buy some souvenirs. A man came out of the kitchen and in a very loud and obnoxious voice asked if we were waiting for milkshakes. When we said yes he pretty much yelled at us, telling us to go and wait outside, that someone would let us know when to come back in to get them. This experience pretty much ruined the milkshakes for all of us. None of us will ever return and we will never recommend Fields to anyone. I do not know who that man is. Maybe he owns the place. He belongs in a different type of work setting. His demeanor is going to cost Fields Station a lot by way of loss of customers. We stopped at Denio Junction and found them to be polite, hospitable and their amenities were far superior. The room rates were far better also.
We checked in to Fields Station a little after 4 pm one week ago. We had a room reservation and were expecting to eat at the restaurant. After the woman in charge took my credit card and ran it for $100 I asked about eating. The response was No - that I had to call in my order by 4:15 and that information was on the website. I looked at my watch which said 4:16 which I always keep a minute ahead. Then I looked back at the person in charge who reiterated I was too late for meal service. The fact was that I was standing at the desk before 4:15 as I checked in, but nothing was said to me to remind me I was close to the meal cut off. All I got to hear was that "we work 9 hour days and it was going to take her an hour to clean the grill". So, here we are 40 to 50 miles from anywhere one might get something to eat, and there would be no accommodation even though I walked in before 4:15. I admit I do not remember looking at the website, and it does say meal service till 4:15 during the week in very small print below the website title. It says nothing about calling in ahead of time. I was also carrying a 2-page confirmation for our room with no information about meal times. We were the only customer Fields Station had for a $100 room with no TV or microwave and yet, there would be no food because we "did not call in ahead by 4;15" even though we were actually in the establishment a few minutes before 4:15.. The place is also inundated with flies. There were flies in our room when we checked in and we spent a good time of the evening killing flies. We did have breakfast in the morning. It was very good, but there is only "outdoor dining" which means you get to sit on a dirty patio and fight flies. We took our breakfast to our room. My advice: even though this is the only place with a room accommodation for many miles do not stay here. The attitude is lousy, and I feel we were "taken" with an overpriced, unclean room receiving nothing to eat. Peter
Mostly lousy attitude was my first impression. $8. A gallon for deisel. Burgers had no onions & had soggy buns. Narrows
