It's been a minute since we found good local food! The hot rod is SO good! But I have to say my favorite is the way they speak to my son. He's talkative, big, high energy & they treat him like the child he is. They talk to him, answer questions if they can. It's so nice seeing friendly faces that smile every time you walk in! Highly recommend : )

If you've read some of my recent posts, my wife and I have been taking short day trip hikes to…read morelocal waterfalls. This was a trip to the Sweet Home, Oregon area to hike McDowell Creek Falls. (Highly recommend the falls hike). On our way, we stopped at The Point, just outside of Sweet Home. Not much to look at from the outside and kind of a diner atmosphere inside. Somewhere, I read you had a "view" to the water. As you can see from the picture, it's a view (sort of) to Foster Reservoir. OK. However, the food and service were surprisingly good! I ordered the special of the day, a Chipotle Burger. Cooked perfectly with 1/3 lb local beef patty, bacon, chipotle sauce, lettuce, red onion and accompanied by some very good fries. My wife had the grilled cheese and it was awesome as well. Her only complaint was it had too much bacon. Yes, you heard that right, too much bacon. I also have been trying NA beers and the only brand I have found I like is Deschutes out of Bend. They had a Golden that I hadn't heard of and it was, in true Deschutes fashion, very good. Our server was Becky and she was amazing. She greets the regulars by name, was very helpful and informative, but not too chatty. If we were in this area again, we would definitely go back. Without hesitation. Great find!

We ordered chili cheese omelet & it hit the spot, also had a nice hot cup of coffee, side of fruit was such a big serving & super fresh! The sausage plate was delicious & the sausage was cooked to perfection & a really good size. The kids oatmeal is a great choice & is made with water (for those with a milk allergy) Cons- served kids water/drink in a sippy cup & the straw attachment was full of gunk, and the juice sippy cup the lid was bit up from previous kiddos. My suggestion is to get rid of those as they are not sanitary & most parents are careful not to risk their kiddo getting sick from leftover germs. All in all prob won't come back but it really was great food. Also if you are interested they do have a full bar in the morning! Enjoy!! Sorry I didn't get any pics on this trip.

The menu leans into classic American comfort food, and everything feels like it's made with care rather than rushed out of a kitchen. The standout for me is the turkey Reuben. It's one of those sandwiches you think about later in the day. The turkey is tender, the sauerkraut adds just the right amount of tang, and everything comes together perfectly on grilled rye. This Reuben is dressed with a smoked pepper spread instead of mustard and this is what absolutely turns it up compared to your usual turkey Reuben. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, the kind of place where you can sit with a cup of coffee and take your time. If you're in Salem and looking for a solid comfort-food café, Bodhi Cafe--and especially that turkey Reuben--is well worth the stop.

The prices are reasonable and give folks in town another breakfast, brunch, or lunch spot. Because they're gaining in popularity (you go, Bodhi!), I really hope they put up signage, like Ba's did, that tells people to order before sitting. When I was there on Friday, I managed to grab the last available spot after I ordered. There were many people who were holding spots while they waited for others to join and others who had ordered but were looking around for a place to sit. People don't seem to get the concept of sit after you order, so I hope the shop can help remind/teach folks.
