My first time here at The Waterhole, and it has been a fantastic experience! I ordered the sweet potato breakfast special with a Bloody Mary, and both are delicious! The atmosphere is very clean, with excellent service, great music and lighting! Highly recommend this Prineville gem!

Update 12/2023. Still great and good food/service. This is a cool place for a quick bite or just a beer. Full bar too. The food was hot and fresh prepared. Family friendly that is still a bar. A couple poker machines on the side. Clean throughout with ample parking. Service was friendly. Prices were fair. I'm go here anytime I'm in the mood for some beer and food..

Today, I ordered two sandwiches from The Watering Hole through their online system. For some reason, the estimated wait time for online orders was 45 minutes, but the bartender and cook were incredibly kind and prepared my food right away, so I didn’t have to wait long at all. The bartender was very professional and charming, and the food was fantastic! I had the chicken parmesan sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious—definitely to die for!

Nice place, well lit. A few people were eating when we got there (early 4:30 pm dinner). Plenty of TV screens to watch college football (Ducks and Husky games). Server was polite and attentive. Food came very quick, at about the same time as the appetizers and it was hot and delicious. My wife had a seafood dish and I had a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich. We both got a large side portion of tater tots, too. We will go back again.

Ordered their pulled pork BBQ sandwich and it was amazing. Something special and unique about their coleslaw which really added to the great flavor. We will definitely be returning in the future!
