Excellent food and good value. We ordered the Reuben and Carnitas Benedict. Food is 5/5 Value 5/5 Service 4/5. This is the best Reuben I ever had. Meat quality and quantity is excellent. The portion is very generous. Taste is well seasoned. Carnitas Benedict is generous and very good. Service is good. The restaurant is busy but efficient. Will definitely be back when in the area. read more

Stopped in for lunch in the way to UO. The place was packed! Despite this, we were seated in 5 minutes, and ordered quickly. Great food! I forgot to take pix before we dug in. Sorry! Daughter ordered the liege waffle and she said it was excellent. Hubs ordered the French dip, which he had devoured before I could take photos. Must have been good, right? I ordered the pulled pork, which was excellent! I would definitely order it again! Our service was also very, very good and timely. No wonder it's packed! read more

Super popular spot in downtown Albany. Went on Mother's Day for a table for two and waited around 30 min (no res.) It took a while to get our food, but I assume that's because it was so busy. Food was delicious and definitely worth the hype. read more

Don't get down here a lot anymore due to medical issues but the cocktail bar(Vodka bar)is one of the best around. The food quality is excellent, a great variety and a neat place to stop and meet relatives from Albany area or on our way from Keizer to Eugene....this was the first place I ever had bacon w/my Bloody Mary years ago. People are really friendly and plenty of parking across the street in a couple of different city-lots. Bustling environment! read more

This place is really nice. The staff are super polite and helpful. The food is delicious and the portions are extremely generous. The food tasted amazing. They have a big menu with breakfast and lunch read more

Great place to go to catch up with one friend for their birthday, or to hang out with a group of friends. I love the atmosphere in this historic downtown Albany establishment. If it's busy, you can go to the bar to order what you want. The food is so darned good that you might be tempted to try to make these delicious meals at home. read more

I met my Cousin, and Aunt for lunch before the Holidays, and what a great choice. I drove from Eugene, and they drove from Salem for our lunch. I had never been to this side of Albany before, so it was great. Heads up for those of you that have never been here, there is parking on the street, or some parking lots I believe. It's an older building with character. It was really busy, but they fit us right in. I don't quite remember everything on the menu, I do remember they had a wide variety of breakfast, and lunch. There were some salads calling my name, but ultimately there was a French dip that won me over. I must say, I am happy with my choice. It was very flavorful, and I also added a cup of chili. I would recommend both. Service was fast, and the staff were all really nice. Sorry, I didn't get any pics. I was too excited to see my family. read more

We were driving through and stopped after reading the great reviews. It ended up being a pretty straightforward brunch spot. The food was fine, but felt mass-produced. They weren't trying to dazzle the taste buds or wow you with inventive flavors, just getting orders out. I can't blame them because the place was packed with a 30 minute waitlist. They ran out of pancake batter and came back to re-take our orders, so it felt like double the wait to get our food. They reimbursed us with an 8 dollar discount, which was a nice gesture. Decent spot, but the hullabaloo didn't live up to the experience. I would look for somewhere smaller and more personal nearby. read more

Food is always amazing. Drinks are always well poured unfortunately our server Samantha was very rude. She had the biggest attitude towards me, my sister and my son, but was very friendly with other patrons that she was serving. I am not sure if it was because we had a kid with us or because we ordered alcohol (ie mimosas for our brunch) but service was not friendly in the least. I will still be going back due to the food being phenomenal but I will be giving this a one star review due to Samantha's poor service. read more

Although it's a long wait for a table on any given day, the menu has a great variety of dishes and each one is absolutely delicious!

Nice cafe. I really enjoyed my grilled cheese with four flavorful cheeses, tomato & basil.

Stopped in for a little food while out for a drive. Always a lively friendly place. Took a seat at the bar and was immediately greeted by the bar tender. She mentioned the special of the day, crispy chicken sandwich which sounded good. Order came out promptly with a side of house fries. Very tasty sandwich. Fries were excellent. Overall a great meal read more

I went here on a week day and I was sooooo pleased! I was alone so I sat at the bar. I had quick, friendly service. I ordered the huevos rancheros which was excellent. My only slight complaint was no WiFi. I was working and needed to use a hot spot but the food was excellent. I'll come back on the weekends to have one of their brunch cocktails. read more

Brick & Mortar absolutely impressed me. The energy in this place felt positive the moment I walked in, relaxed, inviting, and genuinely warm. The customer service was top notch, every interaction felt thoughtful and attentive without being overbearing. And the Bloody Mary, Superb. Perfectly balanced, bold, and easily one of the best I've had in a long time. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. Overall, an excellent experience. Great vibes, great drinks, great people. I'll definitely be back. read more

Our group of three arrived around 9:00am on a Sunday, and the place was already busy. We were fortunate enough to get a table upstairs. All of us were happy with the flavor of our food--the veggie omelette, the bacon and blue omelette, the chicken fried steak, and the sweet cream pancake. There were some issues with temperature and texture. The food was room temperature, which was disappointing. You know it's bad when butter doesn't even begin to melt on toast or a pancake. Also, my boyfriend had difficulty cutting into his chicken fried steak, which he described as rubbery. Service was friendly and fast enough. This would have a five star review if our food had been warm and that chicken fried steak had been without the gristle. read more

Food is always delicious here and they have so many options- love the wide variety of breakfast and lunch foods available. Drinks are fantastic as well. The prickly pear mojito is my favorite. Service was excellent. Ambiance of restaurant is very nice too. Love the older part of Albany. read more

My husband and I had a lovely breakfast at Brick and Mortar Cafe. They were very busy but we were able to be seated right away at the bar top. Our seating was comfortable and the restaurant was so cute! Very intimate feel. We LOVED the Mexican mocha, it was the perfect amount of spice! I did mine with oat milk and it was amazing, I compared it with the regular milk my husband got and they were both so good. I had the fried chicken Benedict and my husband and had the Carnitas Benedict. I preferred the Carnitas but they were both delicious! Can't wait to try more of their menu. read more

Brick & Mortar is located 20 minutes outside of Corvallis and we chose it with the hopes that it would be less of a wait than the few other restaurants located within the college town. We arrived around 11am and it was a 45 minute wait, which isn't terrible considering it was the Sunday after a home game. Once seated, it did take a while to order and get our food but the staff was very friendly. The food was your typical American breakfast and lunch, I got the club sandwich and it was pretty yummy. However, the French dip was underwhelming and the Buffalo & Liege was a little odd. The concept of a chicken and waffle sandwich sounded good but the waffles were too soggy. Overall, this is a good choice if you are in need of a breakfast spot in the Albany/Corvallis area but I have had better food elsewhere. read more

Such an amazing breakfast !!! The menu has a variety of different unique things to choose from, they have an amazing coffee menu too. To start off, I ordered a Salted Caramel Latte, it was delicious !!!!! My husband ordered The Black & Blue Omelette, with Hash Browns, Mortar style ( gravy with fresh bacon & shredded cheese). I ordered the Carnitas Benedict, with Hash Browns, Mortar style. It was delicious, the hash browns were probably the best I've had. The Benedict has the perfect poached egg, and was so good. The portions are huge, I could only finish half or less, My husband must have loved his omelette, cause his plate was empty when we left. Definitely recommend !!!! read more

We had to get up early this morning to run some errands and ended up driving through Albany when we found this place on Yelp. We decided to give it a try, and I'm so glad we did. It was very busy when we walked in, but the wait was short. We were starving and didn't want to wait for a table, so we sat at the bar instead. Best decision ever. The service was incredible. The girls were so sweet, Casey is amazing! and the hostess was incredibly accommodating. The food was hands down the best breakfast my husband and I have ever had. If you haven't been here yet, you absolutely need to try it, you won't be sorry. The only regret you'll have is not coming in sooner. Even the coffee was fire! read more

On our drive from Eugene to PDX we planned on grabbing lunch. Decided to make the stop in Albany and ended up here due to the reviews. Driving thru the town we got a bit concerned that the place might be underwhelming but as soon as we hit the location we were pleasantly surprised by the many options in this location. We wished we had time to try them all. Hope we get a chance to visit again. The staff here was absolutely amazing. There was a bit of a wait, but only 10 minutes and it was absolutely worth the wait. The options are plentiful. The food is beyond fresh and perfectly cooked. Thrilled with the knowledge the chef was willing to share about their gluten-free options. All the guests at our table were 100% happy with their meal. Wish it was local to me! read more

My partner and I came here to celebrate our anniversary and it was the perfect brunch spot! It's a pretty popular place so if you have to wait you can have a seat, order from the cafe, or go on a walk and check out the nearby shops. The interior is so cute - industrial yet rustic and cozy. The staff are polite and kind. The coffee was great (just know the espresso con panna is a tiny yet powerful two-shot drink). We ordered egg Benedict's - carnitas and veggie both with mortar style potatoes. We've never had such thick shredded hash before but it was delicious, as were the Benedict's! Not the most kid- or big family- friendly place due to seating but there were a few booths that could work for a family with children. Great for dates and meeting up with a friend or two! read more

Let's dive into the missing star. The only reason I drop a star is the time it takes to get the meal after ordering. Every meal has been a great flavor. Great options and great coffee bar while you wait. Full bar for the early birds. Pastries are fantastic. There is a wait of probably 30 minutes or more. It is worth the wait but earlier the better. Menu is full but not pages long. Great options to choose from. Sweat or savory or both. Pancakes, crepes, waffles. Chicken and waffles or crepes with salmon. Flavors for everyone. read more

Awesome breakfast! Had Huevos Rancheros, which was delicious and nicely plated and my wife had the cinnamon role which she always has when we breakfast out and ranks this one her number 4 favorite. She would have ranked it higher but it is a bit too small for a breakfast roll. We would have given it 5 stars except for the coffee. Good coffee is a must for breakfast but this was bitter and tasted burned, more like Starbucks burned Sumatran crap. I roast and grind my own coffee and I know B&M can do better than this. There are over 70 countries in the world that grow coffee. I suggest trying coffee beans from Haiti, Bali, Ethiopia, or Guatamala. Any of those properly roasted will result in a cup 100 times better than the burned beans B&M are currently serving. read more

I have been here a handful of times. My first time here the food was amazing but the past few times it's really gone downhill. It's very inconsistent and the food isn't up to par as previously. My last visit on Thursday I got a biscuit instead of bread for a $2 substitute which is fine with me. It was probably the worst biscuit that I've ever had in my life. It was super dry with absolutely no flavor. Unfortunately Thursday would be my last time visiting this place. read more

My wife and I ordered chicken fried steak, eggs, medium. The Chicken fried steak had no seasoning, the gravy was tasteless and was a little chewy. The hash browns were burnt. Toast was not included. The worst thing was the Bloody Mary. It was so spicy hot it was Undrinkable. They make their own Bloody Mary mix! They should tone it down and offer more spice so each person can customize it. Friendly staff read more

Been coming here for a few years now. The food is usually good until it isn't, especially when it seems they're a bit short staffed. Their prices have gone up at least twice but there is a hit and miss in the quality of the food. Most recently, when the bill arrived, we had been charged for ranch sauce for our fries as a "side". For as long as we've been coming here, we have always been asked if we wanted ranch or something for the fries with our burgers or sandwiches & now we're being charged extra for that too? I get prices have gone up but going out to eat is expensive enough and to be nickel & dimed for something like a small cup of ranch is very dissapointing. read more

I am from out of town and found this gem. Joplin' with people, great food, huge portions, and all of the staff are friendly and constantly checking in on the guests. I got their homemade granola with a side of Greek yogurt and 5-grain toast which came w what tasted like the best homemade jam. They gave me a full cereal bowl (2 cups?) of granola! I ate a ton and still had granola left over to take home. It was delicious! My wife had the Belgium waffle w bacon and eggs. My daughter got the Liege waffle which has sugar cooked into the batter (per the waiter) taste like a funnel cake. If you don't like sweet, stick with the Belgium waffle. My wife loves sweets and said it was a little too sweet for her. Coffee and iced tea were amazing as well. I had the con panna espresso. Will definitely come back! read more

A Hidden Gem for Breakfast Lovers! This cozy little diner is everything you'd hope for in a small-town breakfast spot--warm service, hearty portions, and that homemade taste you can't fake.

The menu is pretty extensive and it's great that they serve brunch until 3pm! Staff was very friendly and accommodating. The downstairs is very cute, the upstairs feels a little dinghy. I went with my family and between us, we tried biscuits and gravy, lemon ricotta pancakes, bacon burger, waffles, salmon hash, and hash browns. The food all TASTED excellent, but as soon as we got it, it was slightly cooler than lukewarm. Almost room temperature for every single dish which was disappointing but we were hungry and the taste was good so we ate up. Drip coffee was also not warm but the mocha was yummy. I would definitely go back if I could have warm food but unless I'm super hungry again, I don't know if a plate of cold food is going to thrill me. I want that lemon ricotta pancake again but warm because it had great flavor. It's almost 4 stars but food temperature took off a star for me. read more

I ordered the Huevos Rancheros. it was presented very nicely and was tasty. I was not happy with this meal overall. I ordered it because of the ingredients. The way it was presented, was appealing, however as I consumed the huevos, there was very few black beans and and veggies. Over half of the volume of food was shredded potatoes, way too much starch. The meal was over priced with so few veggies and too many potatoes. The service was slow for my table, because the waitress was busy with a larger group, and all of the remaining staff were busy cleaning and setting other tables. read more
