Welcome to Wallowa Lake & Wallowa County
🍳 Best Breakfast
Sugar Time Bakery (Enterprise) – Homey, charming country breakfast stop, and filled with locals chatting over coffee.
Blythe Cricket (Joseph) – Bright and healthy breakfast fare.
Wallowa Lake Lodge – A lovely short walk from the chalets. Great for kids — they can roam while you wait.
Cheyenne Café (Joseph) – A true local joint. Expect friendly stares if it’s off-season — they know you’re not from here.
Arrowhead Chocolates- The only place in town to get a proper cappuccino. You may find yourself making multiple stops here during your stay…which would be a good thing.
🍔 Lunch & Midday Favorites
Embers Brewhouse (Joseph) – Family-friendly, casual, and conveniently located.
Wallowa Lake Lodge – Patio seating in summer and a cozy dining room in winter*
Slack- Sometimes you need lunch and a cocktail.
Imnaha Store & Tavern – A worthwhile backroads adventure. You'll get a meal and a story from the owner
Terminal Gravity Brewery (Enterprise) One of the best outdoor seating set-ups I have been to…the beer helps to.
River Street Market (Enterprise) A contemporary Market, with delicious fixins…has everything you need for a picnic or charcuterie board.
🍽 Dinner & Evening Eats
Wallowa Lake Lodge – Bar and Lodge Dining. Love walking from the Chalets to the Lodge for food and drinks.
Stubborn Mule (Joseph) – Steaks, baked potatoes, and pie! A must-visit at least once during your stay.
Range Rider (Enterprise) – Cowboy vibes, cold beer, great food, and local live music. The couch area is great for kids, and the locals are always welcoming. Pro-tip, come for dinner and stay for music; this way you will have the best seats when the music starts.
🍷 Drinks & Music
Stubborn Mule (Joseph) – Reliable, friendly bar with hearty pours.
Slack (Joseph) – Great outdoor seating in summer…Pendleton Whiskey is the vibe here.
Range Rider (Enterprise) - Regular live music and local energy.
Wallowa Lake Lodge – Music on the lawn.
Rusty Spur Bar (Joseph)- Video Poker, Cigs, and locals
Stein Distillery (Joseph)- Today, most distilleries are just marketing fronts, and they barely produce anything original. Stein is maniacal about their product. All the crops for the whiskey is grown on their nearby local farm and distilled onsite.
