When you’re looking for the best lunch in Central Oregon, you don’t have to look far. Located right off Highway 97 in Redmond, Madaline’s Grill & Steakhouse has officially been awarded Best Lunch in Central Oregon 2025 in the Source Weekly’s annual Best Of Central Oregon awards. This recognition celebrates not only the delicious food but also the welcoming atmosphere and loyal community that make Madaline’s a Redmond favorite.
A Local Favorite in Redmond, Oregon
For more than two decades, Madaline’s has been serving Redmond locals and visitors from Bend, Sisters, and beyond. Our restaurant blends bold Mexican flavors with classic American steakhouse traditions, creating a menu that is both comforting and exciting. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch on your work break, meeting friends for margaritas, or fueling up before heading out to explore Central Oregon’s mountains and rivers, Madaline’s offers something for everyone.
Why Madaline’s Lunch Stands Out
Value and Variety:
One of the biggest reasons our guests voted us Best Lunch is our $10 lunch specials. Dishes like the Deluxe Macho Burrito, sizzling fajitas, fresh salads, and juicy burgers are all served in generous portions that guarantee no one leaves hungry. It’s the kind of menu that lets you enjoy a quality lunch without stretching your budget.
Fusion of Mexican and American Flavors:
Unlike many restaurants in Central Oregon that lean heavily one way or the other, Madaline’s has found a balance. You’ll find tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and seafood dishes alongside hand-cut steaks, burgers, and American comfort classics. This mix keeps lunch exciting and appeals to families and groups with diverse tastes.
Freshness & Consistency:
Our guests often tell us that what keeps them coming back isn’t just the flavor, but the consistency. You know you’ll always get fresh chips and salsa to start, hearty plates, and friendly service that makes every lunch feel like home.
A Fresh New Look
In 2024, Madaline’s underwent a full remodel that reimagined our space while keeping the warm, welcoming energy intact. Today, diners enjoy Roman clay walls, stone countertops, rustic woodwork, and handcrafted décor that blends Old Mexico with the inviting comfort of an American steakhouse.
This updated atmosphere has made Madaline’s an even more popular destination for business lunches, family meals, and casual get-togethers. Whether you’re stopping by solo or with a large group, the space feels modern, stylish, and comfortable.
Centrally Located in Redmond
One of the things that makes Madaline’s a top choice is our convenient location right on South Highway 97, just minutes from downtown Redmond and a short drive from Bend, Terrebonne, Sisters, and Prineville. For visitors heading north to Smith Rock State Park, or south toward Mt. Bachelor and the Cascade Lakes, Madaline’s is the perfect stop for a satisfying midday meal.
Travelers appreciate the easy access and ample parking, while locals know they can count on Madaline’s as their go-to Redmond lunch spot.
