One of the five-star delights of my current hometown of Sacramento is a burger joint called the Squeeze Inn, so named because it's phenomenally popular with its loyal regulars and throngs of Food Network-inspired newbies, yet the indoor seating is limited to eleven barstools at the counter. But now that I've eaten breakfast at the Squeeze-In Restaurant & Deck in John Day, I understand a different reason for such a name. The dining area is plenty big enough here to accomodate several families, but what makes the name so appropos is that this place serves up such a huge quantity on every platter, you hafta squeeze it into your stomach to make it fit. We visited the Squeeze-In on a long roadtrip, and I knew that I'd be eating several eggy breakfasts, so on this particular day, I chose to order a bowl of oatmeal with maple and brown sugar, plus a short stack of pancakes and orange juice. I had high hopes for a big hike later in the morning, so my idea was to NOT GET FULL! But, little did I know that the pancakes here are positively gigantic. And perfect in every way, too! On weekends, there is a breakfast buffet. Usually, the thought of a breakfast buffet brings back nauseating memories of my parents dragging me to a Hometown Buffet. Besides, I didn't wanna get full. But, y'know...When I come back to John Day again next summer, I do suppose that I'll hit up that buffet. The quality of the buffet goods appeared to be right on par with the regular menu items. It might also be nice to eat on the deck in the summertime, too, as it overlooks Canyon Creek.

Great burgers and sandwiches. A good place to stop and take a lunch break on your motorcycle trip across Oregon.

Stopped in for Fathers Day and we just wanted to say that we loved the people here. Everyone here was SO nice and the food was good. We have to come to John day a couple times a year and we really enjoyed the environment (next time we will sit out on the patio for sure). Thanks for a good Fathers Day breakfast!

The food was not outstanding but tasted okay. But already, before I finished eating, I began to feel bad. I thought maybe I'd eaten some wheat (I'm allergic to that), but my dining companion who doesn't share my allergy, was having the same reaction. We both felt terrible for most of the day. It was like an overdose of rancid oil, but even worse. What did they put in that stuff? The one thing we had in common was the fried potatoes - they were crunchy all over, like they'd been deep-fried. How 'bout you change your oil more often. I heard the place was under new ownership since we ate there four years ago. Too bad they've gone downhill so severely. Fortunately, the Outpost down the street has good food. The waitress was nice, though.

9 full tables was there a half hour and not one table had food delivered to it. Staff nice but cook is not ready for prime time!

Loved this place!! This place was recommended by a local working at a nearby gas station and we are glad we went there. The food was really good and the staff were very friendly. Would recommend this place to people looking for a small local eatery that has fresh food and good prices.

Great place for breakfast, lunch, & dinner. Breakfast is served all day and they have all you can eat pancakes. The rheuben sandwich was awesome. The staff was very friendly and there for you and whatever extras you might need. I will defiantly be back.

Got seafood platter and southwest chicken dish. Seafood platter was really good that we ordered it both days we were in town. The chicken dish wasn't great. Their tater stocks were pretty good, hash browns not so good. Though I picked up to go on both occasions, I was greeted well and treated nicely. Ordinary interiors, but wasn't supposed to upscale restaurants.

Breakfast here was delicious. Great hash browns and gravy. Recommend the polish sausage. Waitress was super friendly. Best breakfast in John Day.

What a find! Living in Portland, I'm pretty spoiled when it comes to tasty breakfast/brunch options. I was fairly certain this place would be comparable to other small town diners (good enough, but not exceptional in any way). The Squeeze-In was such a pleasant surprise. The food was plenty tasty, the staff was as friendly as can be, prices were very reasonable, and most importantly they were extremely accommodating to my friend's dietary needs. He has Celiac's disease and cannot eat gluten. They were able to offer gf toast and pancakes, and assured him that there is no gluten in the eggs or hashbrowns either (some places put pancake batter in their scrambled eggs). All of this for no extra cost! That's basically unheard of in Portland. For $34 (not including the tip) it fed four hungry adults! If I ever find myself in John Day Oregon again, I'll be sure to stop by this place again.

My first choice for eating out in John Day. Good homemade food, pleasant homey atmosphere, good value!

We stopped in on our way home to Terrebonne from Ontario. We had great staff help us on a Sunday afternoon. All four of us ordered hamburgers. We all enjoyed the our tasty/good sized meals. The Wi-Fi was high speed.

They have sweet potato fries (and we love those) I am not convinced I can get a great salad in this part of Oregon but they get an A for effort. The cakes and pies in the display case look incredible but we are saving our calories for beer later tonite.

We arrived 20 minutes before they closed on Columbus Day evening,but the waitress welcomed us and soon we sat with our entrees. I had a delicious pea soup and my husband had a salad. My main course was chicken fried steak, which was a very large order but yummy. My husband had the hot roast beef he said tasted rather roast beefish but not good. Since we stayed across the street at our hotel, it was very convenient.

Before heading out of town we decided on breakfast. though there are other choices we picked the Squeeze-in. It was across the street from our hotel, and not currently crowded from the BMW bikers get together yet. The food was hot and plentiful. The coffee steaming and the juice tasty. The staff was friendly and the locals were funny! what more can you ask for when visiting a new town. Definitely a great breakfast spot that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

So there we were, fresh off a two day stay at Fall Mountain Lookout -- up at 6000 feet (plus another 20 or so walking up the steps to the lookout), not a person around, in essence camping under cover. (Ok that's a total lie, the lookout has electricity so our camping meals were breakfast quiche, meatball sammies and General Tso's chicken... how's that for roughin' it?) We rolled into John Day on the way home, looking for breakfast. I admit, I was lured by the nasty but comfortable familiarity of McDonalds, which was our destination. We passed the Squeeze In and were struck by their banner that said Breakfast Buffet. I'm a BIG fan of breakfast buffets because while on the one hand, I don't really love breakfast food, but there are times I want it... and my wants run to something like, "Could I have ten pieces of bacon, one piece of french toast and a big plate of hash browns?" That's a combo I've never seen on ANY breakfast menu. So a buffet lets me have the breakfast I want. We walked into the diner, and it's a simple local eatery. Looks like your grandma's dining room, sorta. The service was FAST and with a great smile from all we spoke with. The buffet looked simple and basic, but as we opened the lids on the steam table, we saw all the things you needed... and some pleasant surprises. They take their biscuits, fluffy and flavorful as they are, half them and then toss them on the grill with butter to brown then just a bit. This made for the best damn biscuits and gravy EVER. Their bacon is thick cut. THICK CUT BACON ON A BUFFET. I was in heaven. No limp, paper-crumbly cheap bacon here. The five pieces I had (*burp*) were heavenly. Thick, fluffy french toast with a fresh strawberry compote was really a delight; they even had a can of whipped cream to finish off the top with. Sausages (link and patty), crambled eggs, a selection of little pastries, some mini scones, fresh fruit, potatoes... all the breakfast basics. Each was very good; quality food with great flavor. They only do the breakfast buffet the first Sunday of the month, but I'd do it again! It looks underwhelming when you first walk in, but it'll do you right!

Great service! Fantastic breakfast! It's where the locals eat! Reasonably priced! Fast service with smile! Warned me about hot plate! Very nice waitress! Definitely will eat here again when on John Day!

We are bicycling cross country through small town USA. Our meals have ranged from the great to the not so great. This diner ranks in the top two of places we have eaten in the last three months we have been on the road. The waitress Trista deserves special mention as super friendly and quick on her feet. Plus the food is all fantastic. Don't hesitate-squeeze in here and have a great meal with friendly service

Found myself over here on work and needed to refuel before the long drive home. I was so hungry and very thing looked delicious. Since I was in John Day I figure it would be fitting to opt for the most redneck-sounding thing on the menu (Gobbler and Tater Sticks). While ghis was just a joke, the wonderful meal was not. I was thoroughly blown away! The Gobbler was a Turkey and Cranberry sauce sabdwich on my choice of bread. The sliced turkey was piled high and the cranberry sauce appeared freshly made. I literally inhaled it in 5 minutes and enjoyed every last bite. The tater sticks were basically long tater tots, probably prefrozen, but consistantly reheated to perfection. I probably could have chugged their fry sauce mixture straight from the bottle. I typically qualify my reviews with a disclaimer when I am starving because that could sometimes cloud a full accurate judgment on taste. However, I am not doing so in this case as all 3 of us in my party raved about our dishes. The French Dip broth was described as very freshly made and flavorful. The Veggie Scramble was piled high with eggs, hash browns, and veggies (and by high I mean that dish was HUGE). Since breakfast is served all day this would be the way I would go next time. Prices were extremely readonable and the small town service was wonderful. This is a great little place to full up your bellies if you happen to be passing through John Day.

Looks like the place where locals go. Better than average burgers, very good coffee, excellent service even when busy.

In this tiny sleepy town of John Day there isn't a whole lot to choose from. Yawn! But, after reading some Yelp reviews we opted for the Squeeze-in. Overall, we were not disappointed. If it were not for the young waitress, this restaurant would have earned a solid 4 stars. The food was very good, and very satisfying. It reminded me of a great home cooked meal. I had a pulled pork sandwich topped with coleslaw and a side of fresh and yummy fries. It was perfect! The strawberry lemonade was loaded with strawberries. Love that! If you are looking for good home-cooked style food this is the place to go in John Day. The waitress kinda blew the experience through a series of bad server etiquette. We were never offered a refill on our drinks and our cups sat empty throughout most of the meal. She never came by the table to ask how everything was or to see if everything was to our liking, thus it was not until she brought the check that I had the chance to ask for a refill. Then she only brought 2 out of the 3 of us who needed refills our drinks. When my son's meal was delivered, instead of her placing the plate in front of my son, she handed it to me, without even so much as a warning as to how burning hot the plate was. I nearly dropped it on top of my own plate, but managed to get it down on the table before I dropped it. It burned the hell out of my fingers, which ached for a few hours afterward, and the waitress was still at the table and saw my immediate reaction of gasping in pain but said nothing. No apology...nothing. She just turned around and walked away. Anyway, I can't fault that restaurant for one servers inadequacies. They have a help-wanted sign on the front of the building...so maybe they are looking for a replacement.
