Takoda’s has a full bar with local beer and wine and their extensive menu is sure to have something to please everyone in your party. Kail and Darin Harbick of Blue River ran the restaurant for years and though they’ve now passed it down to their son and daughter-in-law, the spirit of community service has always been first and foremost at Takoda’s.ĭuring the devastating Holiday Farm Fire of 2020, the restaurant stepped up to feed dozens of first responders and firefighters breakfast, lunch, and dinner for days on end-all without having power themselves! Photo via Takoda’s Facebook page Takoda’s has a markedly small-town, mom-and-pop feel to it, and it strives to serve both its local population and those who are just visiting the area. This is also a great option for hikers who’ve been out enjoying the river with their furry friends, since dogs are allowed on the patio while you dine. Surrounded by trees and ferns, you can sit beside a peaceful pond soaking in the rays and sipping on a cold beer while friendly chipmunks scurry about.

But while the dining room is nice, the real draw of Takoda’s is their back patio. That being said, Takoda’s takes on a cozy, lodge-type feel in the winter as you watch the snow pile up around you from the comfort of their warm and inviting restaurant. Inside the restaurant you’ll find a spacious, wood-paneled dining room with cozy booths and tables, and an upstairs seating area to accommodate the crowds that can gather on summer weekends. The restaurant sits right between the tiny communities of Rainbow and Blue River next to the Blue Sky Market, and it almost emerges like a mirage out of the surrounding forest. If you’re anything like me, you’ve learned not to expect much from the food choices on remote forest roads like this, but Takoda’s has gone above and beyond feeding hungry hikers and travelers for years. It’s more than just a convenient place to grab a bite after hiking up to the gorgeous Sahalie Falls, mountain biking the McKenzie River Trail, or luxuriating in the nearby Belknap Hot Springs. I still have those emails so if anyone wants to see how rude and unprofessional corporate is I will be glad to send them over.There aren’t a ton of food options along the McKenzie Highway from Bend to Eugene, which is what makes Takoda’s in Rainbow, Oregon such a gem. So I emailed corporate and explained the situation and they rudely emailed back that I was pretty much out of luck and they are not refunding me. She played dumb and acted like she had no clue what I was talking about. I reminded her that I was here 2 days earlier and asked these specific questions and she said I could return items. Well I came back to the store 2 days later and talked to the same employee and told her that these items did not fit, she rudely says that I cant return or exchange items. I asked her an additional time just to make sure of her answer and she said Yes I could return or exchange the items. She said Yes, I would just need a receipt of purchase and to bring them in before 30-days after purchase. My recent purchase, I had bought some bras and I specifically asked the employee at the register if I could return or exchange these items if they didn't fit as there was no dressing room in the store. If I could give a negative star of the store that I visited and the corporate I would give them negative 10 stars.
