A guest report on the Apple Peddler restaurant (Burns, OR)

If you google “The Apple Peddler” the fourth link your get is one to my review of the Roseburg, OR location of that restaurant chain. I guess for that reason people have written to me with their impressions (read complaints) about the chain. In 2007, I posted this complaint about the Sutherlin Apple Peddler, and here is a recent one about the one in Burns.


We visited the Apple Peddlers restaurant in Burns Oregon on Sunday November 29, 2009, again, for the first time in several years . It was worse than the last time we decided to quit eating there, several years ago for the same reason.
The service was terrible, unfriendly and extremely slow. Waitress was more interested in cleaning tables and filling jelly racks than waiting on us and taking our order.
I ordered a hamburger with french fries. My husband ordered a senior omelet. When she finally brought our order, she brought two hamburgers and fries. She took the one back and reordered an omelet . My hamburger patty was so tough I could barely cut the hamburger in half, and the fries actually had ice crystals still on the inside.
I asked another waitress to return the fries and I received one that was just out of the fryer and quite pale, but edible. My Husbands omelet arrived and the cheese on it was not melted and it was very cold and tasteless, the biscuit was so cold it would not even begin to melt the butter.
We decided to give up and call it quits and took part of the hamburger to the dog. Dog refused to eat it ! So it was 17.99 down the drain as far as we are concerned.
We will not stop there again, which is very sad , as it is one of the few eating restaurants in Burns Oregon. McDonalds is a lot better and at least the food is cooked and hot when we receive it.

    Hey I was wanting to know if anyone knows who the owner of apple peddler is? I went into enjoy breakfast and because I found a hair in my food i told the waiter, she took the plate and the manager came back and argued with me over it. He tried to make me look like a fool that was looking for a free meal!!!sorry but I have money to pay for my food…plus I was a regular but because of this incident I will never step foot into there again so if anyone knows who the main boss’s contact info I would appreciate it thanks….

    Evelyn Platt The place is horrible! I remember one time specifically, our food was ice cold and they didn’t bring our drinks until we were actually getting up to leave. When we refused to pay for them, we could see them making faces and gestures in the reflection i…See More

    Karmen Schatz It use to be nice to go there and get a nice sit down meal, but the service is so terrible now. Those people need to realize if you don’t have people to come buy your food you don’t have a job.

    Donna Tiller We stop there once in awhile to have a Rueben and it’s always been hot and the waitresses were very nice. It’s a long ways from very dirty, but I guess that depends on how big your microscope is. HAH Every cook is different and every waitress is different.

    Mike McDevitt also I would like to add, that person you gave horrible service to, just might be somebody that gives local reccomendations for “a good place to eat” to their customers on a daily basis. So again think twice before you pick and choose who gets good service. Just a lil food for thought….

      Sarah Dee Spurlock Mike I highly doubt your tattoos had anything to do with it. Have you seen the people in this town? Or who work there? Not judging them just pointing out I highly doubt it was your appearance lol. You got crapy service because everyone gets crapy service. You have to go there when the nice people are working but the manager is still an ass. That’s just him.
