A lot of customers have left there and now go to Touville bar. Any way, I went there last nite 7/28/26 around 8pm. New amazonian bartender working, no hello just I need to see your ID. Ordered my drink which she didn't understand and asked to repeat. got it in a plastic cup, with not even a shot in it. For my 2 drinks of Bacardi and coke, came to $12.50, most expensive around, Then gave her Keno tickets to run and check for winners. She gave me $5 from a winning ticket and turned her back to me. I asked her if she ran my tickets, she says the long ones? So she did them out of the garbage, not sure why she threw them away. Then she asked if I wanted to run both of them, I said yes, stupid question. Anyway Whiskey river sucks these days and I won't be going back. Also they serve no food anymore. Oh and as I was walking there i passed a women on the way, she had a cocktail in a plastic cup, thought nothing of it until I got my drink in a plastic cup. This place is going to die. I don't think a new bar they are building in the back is even going to save it. I truly miss the old Whiskey river. I won't go back. Buyer beware, stay away from this place!!!!

OMG. I noticed a low rating for this stellar, darling place and believe me that was really unfair and a shame that someone would find it necessary to write a negative review, rather than taking the time to speak to management and then give them a chance to correct the situation. This unique cafe, restaurant, bar and boutique has become the pride of Central Point and probably why I passionately defend it. Just meeting one of the owners one time is enough to say with certainty, they'd bend over backwards to correct a complaint. Not only did I love the decor which is beautiful and a great place to take a friend or business associate but the food was enjoyable, the service great, and the people fantastic. A nice surprise was to wander right into Volamos Boutique from the cafe where the clothing is unique, reasonably priced, and classy. Kimberly is fantastic to work with but what surprises even more was customers being offered a glass of wine while shopping! Wonderful experience, so I highly recommend this place to EVERYONE! And by the way -- try it and be your own judge!!! read more

You were able to get hash browns, home fries, pancakes, fruit and there were a couple more options which I can remember. I decided on the pancake being told they were not that big. Well my not that big and our waitresses not the big are not the same. The pancakes were great but I was not a fan of the lemon butter.

I love Crater Lake Coffee so much!…read more I'm visiting family in town and happened to stop in to this coffee shop and keep finding myself going back -- Not only has our food been delicious, our drinks amazing and as expected, but the employees are soooo friendly. So far, I've had 4 different people help me and all were amazing, helpful, and patient while I tried to make a decision on what to try next. One even completely satisfied my 11yo's request of a "fun surprise drink" -- which we later found out was an Oreo shake (not shown, but it comes with the straw on the side and an oreo on top!). The sizes are also larger than I was expecting, both for the food and the drinks... and there are so many options! We've had so many things, not pictured, and all have been great. The bagels, Oreo shake, and biscuits and gravy are top of the list! There are also two sides where you can order on the building -- so you're in and out quickly, and if you go around lunch, there are food trucks in the same lot as well. Seems like people are sleeeeeping on this place since it's kind of tucked away, but it's right across from Walmart -- try it next time you're in the area!

Have to be honest and say it was super disappointing spent almost $30. The two burritos tasted like…read morethey had a frozen egg in it. That was barely heated lunch meat for the meat not freshly scrambled not nothing fresh about it for over $10 apiece. Absolutely would never get them again and the hash brown was like a frozen hash brown salsa. Was your typical store-bought salsa definitely would not get them ever again. If you're gonna pay that kind of money you might as well go to a restaurant like Elmers or crackling Stockland super disappointed, definitely was not what we tried when they first opened and the drink was just OK. The server was very nice.
