Fodor's Expert Review Rainbow Cafe

$ Pendleton American

A downtown institution since 1883, this historic saloon hasn’t changed much in more than a hundred years. Locals donning cowboy hats and leather boots still belly up to the bar seven days a week for no-frills breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The Rainbow chicken, a half chicken coated in batter then pressure cooked, is a signature item.
