Prime rib, smoked BBQ ribs, and a chuckwagon salad bar make a pretty persuasive case for dinner in Haines. Haines Steak House leans into its Western setting, with a dining room full of wood paneling, mounted animals, and cowboy memorabilia. After a day on the back roads around Baker Valley, a hearty steak dinner here sounds like a fine way to finish.
Haines is a small Baker County town on Highway 30, northwest of Baker City, Oregon. It is also a stop on the Elkhorn Drive Scenic Byway, which makes the steakhouse a useful place to plan dinner during a drive through the region. Our Baker City guide can help you put together the rest of the day, while our Eastern Oregon travel hub covers the wider region.
In the words of Michelle, a satisfied patron, the Haines Steak House is the “Best place to eat in Eastern Oregon if you love quality smoked beef and a country western experience with great food, service, and atmosphere.” She enthusiastically recommends the Prime Rib, smoked BBQ ribs, and Salad Bar, describing them as “amazing.”

Prime Rib and the Chuckwagon Salad Bar
The Chuck Wagon salad bar is one of the restaurant’s best-known features, with fresh vegetables and dressings prepared daily. It also includes Cowboy Baked Beans, Prime Rib Chili, and Cowboy Bread. Between the salads, the beans, and a bowl of chili, there is plenty to catch your attention before the main course arrives.
The menu also includes house specialties like homemade prime rib, flavorful burgers, chicken fried steak, and a selection of seafood. For dessert lovers, an assortment of gourmet treats awaits. Families with children will appreciate the thoughtfully curated kids’ menu.
If choosing between brisket, ribs, and prime rib is the hard part, the Steakhouse Combo Sampler puts all three on one plate. The individual dishes are available elsewhere on the menu, too. Consider the sampler if you want some variety before deciding that a bigger steak is what you came for.
Seafood enthusiasts can enjoy the Steakhouse Roundup Ribeye, a juicy 14 oz ribeye served with butterfly shrimp, or the diverse seafood options including Lobster, Alaskan Crab Legs, and various shrimp dishes.
The Steakhouse Chicken Fried Steak is choice beef served with High Country gravy, a hearty option for anyone drawn to a country-style dinner. The Chicken Breast Fillet offers a grilled poultry choice. Appetizers include Prime Time Beef Kabobs, Smoky BBQ or Bourbon Bacon Wrapped Shrimp, and Fresh Jalapeno Poppers, giving the table several ways to start the meal.
The steak selection features USDA Choice Beef, including Classic Tenderloin Filet Mignon, New York Loinstrip, and ribeye. Prime rib comes in 10, 12, and 16 ounce cuts, so there is some room to match the order to your appetite. The classic filet is wrapped in hickory-smoked bacon and served with mushrooms, while the New York strip offers another familiar steakhouse choice.
Not to be overlooked are the enticing desserts, including Blackberry Cobbler, New York Cheesecake, and Key Lime Pie.
The Buckaroos Menu gives younger guests smaller portions, including a Grilled Cheese Sandwich and Buckaroo Burger. Adults can choose wine, beer, or a mixed cocktail from the full-service bar. Coffee, tea, and other nonalcoholic drinks are available, too.
