That's a catchy name to this restaurant and bar "5 O'clock Somewhere Bar and Grill"! I guess that's a line out of a country song. This place is part of the casino. My guys on my crew went to try their luck, so me and the one other girl on my crew decided to just come here for dinner. It's a pretty modern looking place and has lots of outdoor dining if that's what you want. Neither of us felt like a big meat centric meal, like big ass burger or steak. We got seated by a nice staff member and our server was very friendly and answered all our food questions. I decided on one of the flatbreads as did my co-worker. The flatbreads are kinda like pizzas, but shaped more long and not as heavy with the cheese and sauces. She ordered a salad as well. The food came out looking nice and appetizing and tasted good. The flat breads were nice an hot, so no sitting around on the warming tray for too much time. I hate it when food come out cold ... except salads of course. We just hung out till one of the guys gambling called. I figure they either lost their money or won some money! This is a decent place to eat especially if you're staying here at the hotel. read more

My husband and I had discussed whether to try this restaurant based on reviews. On the positive end of things, the server was prompt and polite when we arrived. After the food was delivered to our table she disappeared. I had to ask a bus boy to get our server to bring us our check. During our dining experience there were young teen boys running around the restaurant. It was very disruptive to a dining experience. The food was marginal, and that is a generous description. My husband was served a beer with lime without a cooled glass. I grimaced watching him try to get the lime slice into the can. We ordered the onion rings, BBQ chicken flatbread, nachos, and a basic salad. The nachos were horrible. There was something very wrong with the chips and the cheese. The guacamole was not fresh. We sent it back. The onion rings were ok, the flatbread was borderline, and the salad I took home and fed to my chickens. Also, I spent all evening in the bathroom after eating their food. Never again! My husband's gut can take almost anything, and he had no issues. The atmosphere is casino good taste. This is not a place I would recommend for locals looking for a good date night or meal. It's best left to those who are gambling and drinking and don't realize what awful food they are being served. read more

What a great vibe. Very bright and vibrant. Restaurant is located in the Compass by Margaritaville hotel. It's located in an airy bright space with lots of windows and a patio overlooking the pool. Staff is super attentive and very nice. Food is good as well. Seems like they attract a lot of locals. The Ko-Kwel 24 hour casino is just across from the main entrance. Over all a fun place read more

Tasha is very hard working and very professional. This place is great! Thank you Tasha.

The service and atmosphere were friendly and fresh. The drinks were good and the food was tasty. The bathroom rooms were spotless.

I was mistaken cause when i hear Margaritaville I think of Mexican food and they had just nachos and quesadillas and that's it. I tried chips and salsa which was store bought chips with Tostitos type salsa. Drinks were not anything special. If you're looking for good authentic food I would definitely eat before coming here. The rooms are nice and staff is friendly and nice. Nice hotel but wish they had good food!. read more

This is our Wednesday hangout for happy hour. We are a group of local women that started out here as a book club but ended up as a simple meet up for those that can make it. We love our waitress Sara and she always knows exactly what we want. Thanks Sara! See you Wednesday read more

The theme and decor is super cute and reminds me of Margaritaville. The service was really good, our server was attentive and friendly. We ordered the happy hour jerk chicken skewers and chips & queso dip, a Bahama Mama and Uptown Top Shelf Margarita. The drinks were good but the food was not. The flavor of the jerk chicken was good but the quality of meat was questionable. The chips were definitely from a bag and the queso was good but probably from a jar. I would say atmosphere and service were a 5 star Drinks were a 3 star Food was a 1 star read more

We stayed at the hotel for three nights. Overall great experience. It was nice to be served poolside with drinks and food. They're happy hour stuff is actually very good. I was surprised. I wasn't too fond of the burger and their fries aren't very good in my personal opinion. What was really good was the pretzel, chicken quesadilla was excellent and the happy hour appetizers were spot on. Most of the service was excellent, Megan was especially great! We came in late night one very hungry and she greeted us and served us with no issues, she was very friendly and attentive. All of the bartenders that we encountered were also very friendly and attentive, although I can't remember any of their names. I will say on our last night we came in we got sat on the patio and didn't get talked to for 15 min. Then we had a server Who looked a little annoyed that we had came in 30 minutes before they closed..even though we hadn't been spoken to for 15 min. I had to get up and request someone speak to us. (There were other tables outside and we saw the server walk by multiple times. She took our order and then asked if there was anything else that we would've wanted, right then and if she could close us out right away because they were looking to close, even though the kitchen was closing 25 minutes from then. She still served other people coming in, and we felt uncomfortable ordering more food. She rushed to close us out and it just felt like she didn't want us there. I won't say a name, but maybe the management should address that issue everything else was fantastic. We probably will be returning. read more

Their happy hour is pretty good, other than that. It was alright... watch out for their drinks though.. it's watered down. The waiters seem annoyed when deaf people showed up for the event. Energy isn't all that either. Just can find a better environment and food somewhere else. read more

We came in for happy hour and Taco Tuesdays on a Tuesday afternoon, but it was no way near happy for us. When our server came, we asked for the happy hour menu which wasn't available. Ordered tacos which wasn't available too (on taco Tuesday? They looked so good on Instagram)! So we settled for margaritas and beers. I had to return my "who's to blame " margarita because it tasted nasty (im guessing it's the straw or the glass. The server asked what I wanted so I went for Dancin red wine (safest choice), which wasn't available as well (I'm seeing a pattern here). Server said wines on the menu were not updated. My friend got the Uptown topshelf, which she said tasted like just like lime juice and no alcohol. Since we were not happy at all but our men still had some beer, we ordered nachos. The nachos were delicious! Unfortunately we werent given silverware or plates. So when the server dropped by asking how was everything, I casually mentioned it would be nice to have some silverware. She just walked off as if not caring what I mentioned. She just casually sat with some people a few tables from us and chatted away. My husband who is usually cool even with bad service went inside, paid for our order and asked for a manager to discuss "room for improvement". The manager was nice enough to listen and give some coupons to get us to try them again but I doubt if I will again. Maybe we were not assertive enough about the silverware or maybe our server just needed additional customer service training. read more

Food is ok. Drinks are very good but the service was outstanding. My server Ashley was the sweetest and the hostess was extremely friendly. Young man with braces :) I will definitely be back because of those 2. I was also checked on my the manager maybe? He was super helpful. Great customer service. Those 3 all deserve a raise. read more

Wow this place was overpriced for the tiny portions. We stayed at the Compass Hotel and decided to get dinner here because we were exhausted after a long drive. BAD IDEA. We got the Margherita Flatbread which was not even remotely close to a thin crust pizza. It was so bland and flavorless and just blahhh. We also got the half BBQ chicken. The chicken itself was cooked perfectly (clearly sous vide did its thing), but was a tiny tiny half chicken with a boring and overly sweet one-dimensional sauce. Also, it comes with a tablespoon of under-seasoned and pre-made coleslaw. Seriously, at those prices, what's with the stingy portions? Chicken and cabbage aren't that expensive. Also, the hotel is dog friendly but the restaurant isn't, or so we were told as our puppy was startled and barked once at the front of house. This is fair but it's weird when the next day we saw multiple tables sitting with their dogs by their feet. The hotel is fantastic, the restaurant is really not. Skip it. read more

Outstanding atmosphere, looks very tropical. You can eat and or drink indoors or outside in a cabana or at a table under the palm trees. read more

Came back for another shot... Really wish I didn't one of the managers gave me the creeps! He was following young girls around and he came up to my table to check on us because we looked concerned and he embraced us with his horrible smelling breath! Will never be coming back BEWARE of the manager Paul!!! read more

I like to bring visitors to rogue valley here ironically. They think, "what?! Margaritaville in Medford? That makes no sense." Yes! And yet, here it is! So it's a fun bar to stop at, take a photo, and drink a margarita or two. The staff is always very friendly, laid back but helpful, and it's family friendly. View is of a pool area in an industrial area of Medford, so...lacking. But the music is good island vibes - I sadly heard no Jimmy over my last two hour visit. Must be to maintain staff sanity! read more

I was staying at the hotel and this restaurant is attached to it. I wasn't expecting anything special but the food tasted good! The service was outstanding! The drinks were tasty! This is a nice surprise to the Medford area. After my meal I was able to relax by the fire pit and enjoy a glass of red wine. This restaurant also serves the pool area which is nice. You can rent cabanas and even have pool access for a fee regardless of whether your staying at the hotel. Sounds like they have plans to continue to expand and add more fun things to do. This is my new spot when staying in Medford! read more

We were traveling through Medford and decided to walk over and try this place. This place has a really cool vibe with new decor and furnishings. Our server Sarah was on it. She greeted us immediately with a friendly smile. She introduced the happy hour and dinner specials and promptly took our order. We ordered one of the specials, the philly cheese steak sandwich. The meat was thin sliced prime rib and the veggies were perfectly cooked. In a nutshell, the food was good, the beer was nice and cold and the service was awesome! We will be stopping by again upon our return home. read more

Rico was awesome!! So fun to talk to and very attentive. Makes a good drink. Cheyenne was also so fun. They will take care of you. read more

Bar food. Smells like oil. Nice staff. Drinks were meh. Tried it and that was it. Sorry.

If it wasn't for Carlos as our waiter, the whole experience would have been a total bust. Atmosphere is stark and boring. Not welcoming. Outside by the pool looked better but it was 95 degrees. The margaritas are very sweet. Awful sweet. This is supposed to be Margaritaville! The food? Processed pre-made frozen garbage. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger medium and fries well done. My partner ordered the fish and chips. My $15 burger was raw. Fries were cold and practically uncooked as well. The fish and chips looked anemic. $18 is way too much for what you get. I had to wait for my order to be remade. It was cooked well done and fries were hot but by then I was no longer hungry as my partner had already finished. I took it home. $29 w/tip for basic crap. Don't bother. read more

I took my family there and had one of the best restaurant experiences. Our server Tasha was super patient and kind with my autistic son and even helped him with menu choices. She was very friendly and made small talk with my kids. The food was fantastic! I highly recommend the 5 o clock burger! 10/10 will definitely go back! read more

We decided to check this place out for Father's Day dinner while in Medford. The food was yummy. The vibe of the place was beachy and fun. We had 2 Power Bowls, the Coconut Shrimp plate, and Fish and Chips. It did take a little bit longer for the food to come out, but when it did, it was delicious. Our server, Natasha, was great! She was very friendly and welcoming. read more

New venue and atmosphere was refreshing and staff very friendly sly and food was excellent. It's good to have a place like this for friends and family when they come visit but also a GREAT place for local date night. Look forward to warm evenings and dinner out by pool! Well done in construction. Big windows looking out to pool! We will definitely go here again! I had coconut shrimp... excellent and fries cooked to perfection. My wife had the one of three specials: shrimp tacos and they were huge!! Couldn't finish them all. Loaded with all sorts of stuff. And can't say enough about friendly service. Nothing worse but last night they were fantastic. Thank you! read more

Great atmosphere and vibe. Food was amazing-I recommend the chicken Caesar salad or any of the flatbreads. The speciality drinks were fun and tasty-favorites were the Sun Burn and Perfect Margarita. Our server Carlos was awesome--friendly, attentive and accommodating. Great dining option in Medford for lunch or dinner! read more

They hosted Slopes & Trails for TGIF on Friday - outstanding service and beautiful new place! Definitely great addition to local event venues. Great drinks, but don't expect great wine - they do tropical. Bar opens to the terrace as well as indoors. Good flow for crowds. read more

This is my spot for Happy hour in Medford! The food is great and the staff is so wonderful. Sarah and Ana are my two favorite bartenders. As soon as they walk through the door they put my orders in. I love that they know my face and my usual. Would highly recommend! read more

The food was amazing and the atmosphere was just what I needed after a long week! The bartender Ana was amazing, fast, and just a great all around person to interact with it. I couldn't have asked for a better place/bartender!! :) read more

The food is sub-par. The wait staff is new. The happy hour is a complete joke. $5.00 for a small bowl of chips that were not refillable and 3/4 of a bowl of cheese dip that we did not get to eat because the chips were all gone. I get more chips out if a bag in the vending machines. Sandwich was dry and super thin. Maybe a slice of meat and one slice of cheese on it. I will never go back, especially if they don't change. Come on. If you are competing with the casino north or south of you and you don't have gaming. I think you food program should be top notch not the bottom of the barrel. But one thing is good about the place it has the good clean smell of new construction. I give it to the end of the year and it will be like every other restaurant in Medford pathetic and gross. Ohh and have your employees wash their hands after using the bathroom. I yelled at the employee that didn't wash his hands and he said he will do it in the kitchen. I told the manager and nothing was done. So disgusting. read more

I have to give this 5 stars because it is such a unique place to go in Medford. Very personable staff, awesome atmosphere outside and inside

I've been twice since it opened. The atmosphere is fun, the inside is beautiful and the outdoor seating area is spacious and comfortable. The service both times was good. However, the food was unimpressive. The power bowl was pretty small for the cost and the lettuce was wilty/soggy, and although the description mentions quinoa in the bowl, it is a minuscule amount. Went again today with a friend, she had the bacon cheese burger which she said tasted good but it was so greasy. I had the fish and chips which were ok. The tartar sauce had a bit of spice, which I liked, the fries were pretty standard. The fish and chips was $18 for 3 medium size pieces of fish sitting on top of a handful of fries and a small dish of coleslaw. Friend got a side of coleslaw with her burger, and we both thought it was pretty good. read more

We love this place. They have only been open a few months, but we have been many times. The drinks, especially the margaritas, are fantastic. My favorite is the Perfect Margarita, it's clean and crisp without being syrupy. We've tried much of the menu and have enjoyed everything. I'm partial to the flatbreads. Friends have really enjoyed the coconut shrimp. The ambiance is right out of Key West...definitely does not feel like Medford. Carlos was our first server, he was great, very friendly and knowledgeable. Service is great. We already have another date planned with friends. read more

I'd rate this new establishment five stars just for the amazing ambience alone. The front desk receptionists are very friendly, and as soon as you walk through the restaurant, you feel as though you've been transported to somewhere other than Medford...somewhere tropical, fun, and relaxing. You can sit indoors or outside near the pool. The servers, for the most part, are very friendly and attentive...I especially liked Carlos and (I believe her name is) Cheyenne. The food is good but not yet consistent. This restaurant is brand new (barely open a couple weeks) so I believe it will take some time to get everyone one the same page, which is understandable (at this point). An example would be the nachos. The first time I ordered them they did not come with guacamole or sour cream. On my second visit they were topped with guac. On my third they were topped with guac AND sour cream. And on my fourth (yes, I actually like the atmosphere AND the nachos this much), it was back to just guac. Also, for some reason the quesadilla my mom order came out very wet and soggy on the bottom. But everything else eaten there has been good. I can't really speak for the drinks as I haven't had an alcoholic beverage there. However, my friend had one she thought was super amazing (I believe it's called Coco Cabana, or something similar-sounding). She just loved it. So I had my mom order the same drink on a different visit. The drink my friend had was a yellow-ish color and tall. My mom's came out a red color and short. Carlos explained the difference is size is due to only allowing the short cups on the patio. He also said there is no difference in the amount of alcohol, that the taller cups just have more mix. However, that doesn't account for the extreme difference in color. So again, I'd say they need to work on their consistency. But that said, I'll still be headed there again real soon. :) read more

We have been here twice. What's GOOD? The staff is SUPER-friendly. The food is really good - I recommend the BBQ Chicken flatbread , Caesar salad, quesadilla. I have only had those items. The reason I gave 4/5 stars is because both times, the wait to get drinks and food was REALLY long. Highly recommend, nevertheless! read more

This is my fifth visit. The food is consistently tasty and well prepared. Excellent service. Shout out to tonight's server, Trinity, and to Manager, Carlos. All guests have enjoyed our visits in thus fun and unexpected venue in our valley. read more

Best team ever. Cheyanne and Rico rock it. Atmosphere is great. We stopped In for a quick drink and a pretzel.

Bland, horrible service, extremely overpriced and took forever. We almost missed our flight. Tacos were so dry, rice was hard and crunchy.

Food and drink were excellent. Loved the layer atmosphere. Carlos was very attentive.

I came here for a birthday with my friend and we were shocked with everything. I did not have high expectations, but they were blown out of the water very quickly! The service was fast but you can definitely tell the chiefs took great care of the food they're serving. From the decor to the drinks everything was amazing and delightful! Our server Angelica was amazing! She checked in on us and was able to help us decide what to eat! I can't wait to come again and I will definitely be asking for Angelica as my waitress! Overall, the service was great and will be back soon! read more
