"We took a Twilight themed road trip vacation. This brought us to The Carver Cafe. Reviews online of this roadside diner vary between real good to very poor. I dissagree with the bad reviews. We arrived to find decent if tight parking. It is a popular spot with Twilighters , fans of the Twilight books and films. This location was featured in the first film where shy girl Bella Swan and her father Chief of Police Charlie Swan dined. The corner table by the window is the place to have you picture taken as that is where the two actors performed their scene. The round table has been replaced with a rectangular set up. The diner is typical of PNW American Roadside Diners. There is a 15 foot bar with 3 stools and tables in the tiny L shaped dinning room. The lower walls are painted forest green and have wood paneling. Images of the regions rich logging history adorn the walls along with an impressive set of antlers from hunting days gone by. It is reasonably quiet given the front door is just feet away from the highway. Parking is on both sides of the resturant. There is a nice set of planters in front of the entrance separating the highway from the entrance. A tall sign set to one side has the establishments name in green. There is not a lot of dining space inside; I counted space for about 40 diners including the seats at the bar. It is a clean enviroment. It is obvious the owners to take pride in their business. The diner appears to be a family run operation with one or two hires not related to the core employees. I could be wrong about this, but the gal who seated us did not seem to be related to the rest of the people working. The cook seemed to be the manager and bottle washer...the younger folk handled the regular duties of order taking, serving and cleanup. All of the staff appeared happy if earnest in their work save for the youngest gal who seemed a little less energetic. We surmised she was the youngest of the family having to wile away her summer in the employ of her family at the family business. She still served us promptly, and did not let her summer dissapointments affect our experience. The young man who also served was very serious and pleasant, wanting his interaction with us to be professional. He really seemed to enjoy his work. So to the gal that I first interacted with. Serious about their job. Efficiency and prioritys we often dont see at other food places. We ordered mostly from the breakfast menu. My son ordered from the lunch menu. The food arrived hot and ready with what seemed like the whole staff bringing out a plate or dish. I saw them all repeat this with other customers as they streamed in. I ordered the Oregon Omelette and Hashbrowns. My daughter ordered eggs with pancakes and a side of bacon with biscuits. My wife chose eggs with french toast and hashbrowns and a side of bacon. My son went after a cheese burger. As we ate, we marveled over how tasty the food really was. Nothing was cold, everything was cooked to our expectation, all of it was really tasty. My wife mentioned her french toast was prepared perfectly. It wasnt too sweet or not sweet enough. She didnt really need to put any syrup on it. That sorta surprised her. She declared it the best french toast she had ever eaten. My Oregon Omelette was perfectly made, the egg was wonderfully cooked and not rubbery. The vegetables were fresh and cooked exactly to retain the right amount of fesh crisp before becoming too mushy. The hashbrowns were not oily. They were wonderfully flavorable. My son didnt give much info on his burger, but by the speed in which he consumed it, I suspect it was to his liking. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her meal as well. As for the poor reviews. One must remember the pandemic shuttered a lot of businesses that are this tiny. This place is a fan destination which causes 30 min wait times. The staff are ready to pl"

Great experience at this cafe for my niece who was visiting from GA as a twilight fan. Even more amazing, the staff and owners who went out of their way to help us get something we left behind. They seriously went above and beyond for us. Thank you!!

As a twilight fan, my wife really enjoyed the place and atmosphere. The food was okay. We both ordered burgers with fries and they were acceptable for the price. However, we clearly noticed that two waitresses looked overwhelmed, so our service was quite poor. Because we sat at the bar stools, we could see both waitresses guiding ice cubes into the cups with their hands, which they did after handling cash, menu, bills, dirty dishes, etc, and without washing their hands. The cook kept touching her face and glasses and then handling bread/buns, which is also not something you want to see.

I can 't even rate this place on food. Four adults, two kids. Ordered at 8:05. 8:25 was told they were out of Bella 's Cobbler my daughter ordered. Other tables got their food. 8:35 was told they were out of tortilla wraps for the burritos two of us ordered. By this time, everyone else in the cafe had their food, even those who ordered after us. 8:50 we 're told they’re out of white bread. First two times we at least got an apology. They had not even started our food so we left. We 're on a road trip and specifically chose the diner because of the Twilight connection. Would think a 'tourist spot ' would make a little more effort. Voir le carte

As someone new to the Portland area and a huge Twilight fan, I was so excited to come here. The wait wasn’t long, and the interior is so charming and quaint I felt like I was in the movie! That being said, our waitress took our order and immediately left on what must’ve been an hour long break. We sat there for 40 minutes and watched every other table sat after us get drinks, food, and even their checks. We had to flag the only other waitress available down after 40 minutes to get drinks. We got our drinks, and then waited maybe another 20 for our food. It was a little bland, but the prices were low enough that I was happy with it and just put hot sauce and s&p on it. The waitress wordlessly...

Went here at 1:09 today and they took 10 -15 mins to hand us menus. Had multiple opportunities to hand us menus, even let us know that they will be with us in a minute. Nothing but stares from us after we were invited to sit at the bar booth. 15 minutes go by, they finally hand us menus. 20 minutes, we get our order in. I'm watching this younger girl in the back with long black hair. She was just standing there as her hair was blowing up in the air from the vents. I already knew this was gonna be a problem. She walks out of view. She comes back with a bunch of plates, and starts to put them above the grill where a younger guy was making food. As she's putting the plates up, A CHUNK OF HER HA...
