Grubsteak Mining Co. in John Day

Good Food & Good Service

Saw the wonderful reviews when looking for a place close to the John Day Motel. Since we knew nothing about it we decided to go in and hope for the best. Whelp, that’s what we got! THE BEST!! Prime rib to die for. Perfectly rare as requested. Jackie, the server was a delight and wonderfully attentive. Thank you Jackie. (My doggie 🐶 loved the doggie bag as much as I did!

First time trying and we will be back!

Awsome food and way awsome Bartender

My husband's steak was very good. My seafood platter seemed to be frozen. It was supposed to have clam Strips and they substituted popcorn shrimp with out asking me first. The mashed potatoes would have been good if they were warm.

Tasty fish and chips and burger. Good coffee. Excellent service.

Great service & excellent all-you-can-eat prime rib dinner. Generous draft beer pour.

First was disappointed they had no changing table to change my baby. Had to go out to my car. Second we waited OVER AN HOUR for our food. I got a pulled pork & the bun was soggy. (Ew!) Hubby got bacon burger and it was burnt to a crisp... Waitress never apologized for the ridiculously long wait or asked how the food was (maybe she knew it sucked) i dont know. Not sure we will ever go back !

Excellent ribeye steak and the bartender was very friendly and attentive she did a great job. I recommend stopping here when you're in John Day.

Favorite bar and my favorite bartender and perfect environment and I usually hate leaving my house to "people" but I love going here

Tasty homestyle food! Big portions, homemade yummy dinner rolls, clean establishment - great find!! Great service - friendly and happy folks!

Good sandwich

Steaks were amazing!!! Great quality cuts that were cooked perfectly. Hubby and are already talking about coming back next time we're in town. (PS we haven't even left the restaurant yet.)

I love coming here

Much better than other reviews suggested - service was friendly and attentive. My chicken fettucini was excellent: firm noodles with a thick cream- based sauce. And...it's open til 9pm open on Monday.

The food and service was great!

Casual dining downtown John Day. Steaks, seafood, amazing meatloaf "just like Grandma used to make." Excellent service and fair prices. You won't leave hungry!

Great food and staff. Great prices

Great service and delicious food

The bacon bacon cheeseburger is amazing!

We stopped by for breakfast and were Very pleasantly surprised! The food was served on time and perfectly delicious. The owner Carol is a local and shared historical stories with our family about the area, we spent the day exploring the county via Carol's recommendation and returned for a steak dinner that was cook to perfection! Be sure to stop by if you are in the area...for some regional wines and great local stories.

New and exciting specials as well as an Asian themed night! The Grubsteak Mining Co. Bar and Grill is turning Grant County upside down, check out what we are doing!

The prime rib was good but the sweet tea was not sweet at all

We had fettuccini with shrimp, saucing with homemade cream and their signature steak. Just awesome!! Still delicious even after microwaved.

Great customer service and drinks were good at a good value but we were out of towners and some of the locals didn't care for us being there

Great food!! Great service!! I recommend it to anyone!

I eat there a lot. The other day I had one of the new items and it was very good. Next week I'm going to try another new item that caught my eye. I love the blond chick that waits tables. Nice place, good food and nice people.

Great food and nice staff will definitely go there again

Food was medium to good, but service was horrifically slow from the kitchen (not the server's fault). We were there in early afternoon on a quiet Saturday - very few customers - and still waited for over half an hour for a Rueben sandwich and a cup of soup. Too bad.

Great good, great service

Stopped in tonight for dinner and was very impressed dispite a few questionable reviews. The service was quick and friendly (thanks Chantel!) and the food was perfectly cooked and delicious! Thanks for making John Day a memorable stop on our Eastern Oregon road trip. Ü

Friendly and fun staff, good food, pleasant atmosphere. Quiet dinning area plus a separate bar room for drinks and good times.

The service was great

It's a nice place to go and get a nice meal in a friendly atmosphere

Good foodFriendly people

Great place to stop along U S 26. FYI if you're in a hurry, this not McDonald's: food is made fresh and definitely worth the wait. Staff is friendly and efficient. Prices are good. Value is great!

Absolutely love grubsteak. Wonder employees. And there food was amazing.

Great food, good prices, and great Staff

Fine meal.

Very good and reasonable. Ihad potroast and wife had meatloaf

My husband and I were traveling home and were hungry and wanted something cold to drink. We stopped in at 1188 brewery and got no service so we left and walked a couple over doors up to the Grubsteak. Jackie was our waitress and turned our evening around! She was so sweet and genuine. She is the kind of person you want to help your weary travelers. We will definitely return and will recommend The Grubsteak Mining Co.! Thank you for a great experience!

Great Service. Good food.

Food is consistently good. Prices are a little high, but I've never had a bad meal here.

Their window advertisement showed a French Dip sandwich with fries and salad, for a decent price, $10.99 if I remember correctly. The service was non existent, and when the waitress was around, she was less than friendly. I received my two orders, it was in a plastic bag tied tightly. When I get back to the hotel, there weren't any salads. It was now pouring down rain so I didn't go back. I should have just went across the street to Dairy Queen.

it's not fancy, the food was great, service was excellent.

Great Chef, Awesome Bartenders! I saw Ren and Shannon! Great experience!

The food is always wonderful and the service is awesome too.
