    Best Falafel EVER from Shawarma Express Grill and an Amber Ale from inside Dave's Station
    Michelle B.

    I've been waiting for the right time to try out this new(ish) Food Cart spot in McMinnville. I pulled into the parking lot at lunch time on a weekend a while back and the place was crawling with unruly kids spilling out of the doorway and bouncing off the windows inside the building. Nope. I just kept driving. So, today was the day, I almost had the place to myself at lunchtime on a Tuesday. It was raining, so you will have to stand in the rain to order food from one of several food trucks, but there is plenty of sheltered seating outside with overhead heaters and an indoor seating area that is sparse but adequate. The renovation of this former old Shell gas station has been thoughtful and artistic - it's got all the charm of old fashioned handpainted signs and all the hospitality of your local neighborhood pub including some great old arcade games and a full bar with a friendly server. I was disappointed that the Indian food truck was closed because they would probably have the best vegetarian, non-fried options. All the other spots were open. I ordered a Falafel Gyro from Shawarma Express Grill and- NOT LYING, I'm a huge falafel fan and it was the best falafel I've ever had!

    Food is okay but sitting out on a warm breezy day eating and drinking is the best part of this place. Try them.

    I have had Heater Allen several different times and I have to say that I am always highly impressed…read morewhen I get one of their beers. The Das Bier is one of my favorites by them. This beer is a Kolsch and I always like this beer style due to it's lightness and crispness. That is no exception here with it's clean and floral flavor profile this is an excellent kolsch that I highly recommend if you like this beer style. Another favorite which I have had on more than one occasion is their Czech style Pilsner. Again, a very light beer in which I admire the clean, smooth, hoppy and dry flavors. I am a big fan of pilsners in general and this one is definitely my top favorite out of what I have tried from Heater Allen so far. I have had this beer quite a few times and always come back to it I like it that much. Another impressive beer that isn't any slouch is the Lenzbock, a Maibock style beer. This beer is a malty one but remains light and floral and has a bit of an essence of Spring to it. And then finally I have had the Marzen Lager which I highly recommend as well. Again a malty beer with sweet and subtle notes. I rate this beer very high on Untappd simply because it's a wonderful one to experience and drink. They also do collaboration beers. There was a great beer I had from Wayfinder Brewing, the Teriffica Italian Style Horror Pils, this beer is an Italian style pilsner which I highly recommend (at this point I just highly recommend everything) and loved immediately with it's dry, hoppy, bitter and honey flavor highlights I was instantly in love with it. Of course my instant fondness for it also had to do with their reference to Italian horror films which I am a big fan of with the concept and art for this beer. Heater Allen is a master of light beers and if you get a chance I highly suggest giving their beers a try. My beer drinking experiences with this brewery never, ever disappoint.

    Always good beer and cool local vibes. Inside and outside seating, old rock tunes, shares the lot…read morewith House of Brassi's so you can get great food with your beer. Service is sullen and indifferent - you may feel like you are bothering her when you order beer, but don't let that take away from your experience.

    My sister and I ate dinner here one night while I was visiting. We sat at a window booth and had…read morefabulous service from our waitress Kylie, who was spunky and fun (she wore alien antennae in celebration of McMinnville's UFO Festival which was going on at the time). I ordered the 3 piece fish and chips and a bottle of IBC root beer. The fish pieces were Alaskan cod, tender and with delicious, mild flavor. The cod was covered in a panko crust. I did squirt a bit of malt vinegar on the fish as I like that flavor. The plate came with fries and coleslaw. I am not much of a coleslaw person but this was pretty good. The fish came with a tasty tarter sauce which I just used to dip my fries into. My sister couldn't finish the pulled pork sandwich she ordered so I had some of that too. The pork was tender and flavorful although I wasn't overly fond of the bbq sauce they used. I had dessert! Celia's Homemade Oregon Berry Cobbler. Wow! The piping hot blueberries and strawberries were within a sweet, crisp crust and was magnificent. The cobbler was covered with a huge scoop of Tillamook vanilla bean ice cream. I loved this dessert. This is a comfortable, casual, fun place for a meal. I would definitely come back to eat here while in the old town area of McMinnville.

    Good food but slow, inconsistent service…read more Our server was super friendly and kind but overwhelmed. It took almost an hour to receive my beverage. My order was incorrect, but they were good about correcting it. By the time I received my meal, my dining companion was almost done. Quite honestly, had I been the server - I would have comped something; chips? beverage? This wasn't the dining experience we were looking forward to.

We got here a bit early on the weekday at 2:50p. They open at three so we waited until they opened. They had some great lunch specials. I had the turkey club with a salad. It was good. I'd never seen tomatoes on a club before but it was good. They had a variety of drinks but we stuck to tea and soda as it was a work day. This looks like a great place for cocktails. Now that I got the bad taste in my mouth from former friends I will definitely be back.

Even when I tried to pay the second round, she told the bartender not to accept my payment. haha Even if I had paid, I would still like this place and their cocktails. It is a nice atmosphere, not too loud, comfortable seating, warm whimsical decorations, friendly service, and clean bathrooms. They have a large list of cocktails, mocktails and other non-alcoholic beverages, as well as beer and wine. They can make all the traditional cocktails. A regular told me the manhattan is top notch, but the cherries aren't the best he's seen. Cherry seemed alright to me. They also have several house cocktails and a few specials to choose from. Between us 4, we tried several different cocktails. We even tried the house cocktail designed for the bitterest of liqueurs, Jeppson's Malört. All were deemed tasty by all! They offer several food items from a full kitchen, including appetizers, sandwiches, salads, breakfast, and dinner. They even have veggie burger, gluten free crackers, and gluten free (GF) fried chicken! ! ! Free parking on the street. No minors allowed, bummer...l'd like it better if kids were allowed, but it's so good it's gets the 5th star. If you choose to give a thumbs-up or not, I hope you found my review helpful!
