The pie case

Save room. Or don't — take a slice home.

The desserts here are homemade and they rotate. Coconut cream and the caramel-apple cheesecake show up most in reviewers' photos and comments — but what's in the case depends on the day and what Sam felt like baking.

Ask at the counter, or call ahead to set aside a slice or a whole pie before they're gone.

Meet Sam

Run by Sam and a small team.

Dairy Diner sits at 22121 OR-140 in Dairy, Oregon — about 22 minutes east of Klamath Falls. Sam runs the place with a small team, and most reviewers name her by name.

On Google it's a 4.6 across 361 reviews, which for a single-location rural diner is rare and worth saying out loud. People drive over from Klamath Falls. They stop on the way to Lakeview. They come back the next time they're passing through.

The chalkboard inside has the day's specials and prices. The pie case has whatever Sam felt like baking. The counter has Sam, usually.

"Sam was alone and did everything like a champion. What a legend. Drove all the way here from Utah and it was worth it just for the food."

★★★★★

"My buddy and I rolled in on our Harleys mid-afternoon. Fantastic food and even better service. Sam is a terrific owner — will make it a point to stop anytime we're in the area."

Dan C. Google review
★★★★★

"We had a double burger and a patty melt, both with fries. Both sandwiches were very good — as well as the fries. We also had a piece of coconut cream pie."

If you're on the road

The last real meal before the long road east.

We're on OR-140 — an easy run from Klamath Falls, and the last sit-down kitchen before the highway gets lonely toward Bly and Lakeview. Heading out that way? Eat here first.
