If you’re traveling east of Bend in Oregon along Highway 20, there aren’t many places to stop to get a bite to eat. About half-way to Burns, you’ll see Hampton Station. This business is a combination cafe, gift shop, and gas station. We stopped there after collecting obsidian at nearby Glass Buttes.
The food they serve is simple and delicious. Hampton Station serves breakfast burritos, burgers, sandwiches, ice cream sundaes, cinnamon rolls, and other sweet treats. When we arrived, they had just pulled freshly baked molasses cookies out of the oven.
I had a turkey, bacon, and avocado toasted sandwich. It also included provolone cheese, red onion, and lettuce. For the side, I ordered a salad with a mustard vinaigrette dressing. The sandwich and salad were very good.
My companion had a burger with bacon with a side of chips. He also ordered a root beer float. The burger was flavorful and well-cooked.
The last time I stopped at Hampton Station was about ten years ago. A new owner took over the business in November 2022. The interior has been updated, and it’s clean and cozy.
Outside, the building has an Old West style. It looks like it hasn’t changed in a hundred years.
If you are looking for a good place to take a little break on the long, straight drive across Oregon’s High Desert, consider stopping at Hampton Station. It’s located 63 miles east of Bend and 68 miles west of Burns. On the day we visited, it opened at 10:30 am.

Good to know, we already passed through that area,but will definitely put it on the list for the next trip through...for the record, I was a little panicky until I saw the second plate ha!
As you know, there's not much out there on some of our highways. This place was better than expected. 🙂
