When have you ever seen a Hungarian restaurant mentioned on one of those blue highway info signs? Neither had we so that's why we had to stop and check out Novaks Hungarian restaurant. By far the best highway stop food ever, one of the very few non-chain, real restaurants off of an interstate. Chicken paprika, challah bread, chicken dumpling soup, and stuffed cabbage. Wow it felt great to not feel disgusted after a meal for once, the best food of the trip in my opinion. They even stayed open an extra hour for us and gave us free extra portions. If you ever drive through central Oregon this place is worth stopping for.
