Looks like a well-painted dive bar in an industrial area. BUT, the food is A M A Z I N G!!! The sandwiches are huge, well-flavored and just darn good. I had a Cubano that was as good as any I've ever had. Husband had the pulled pork with a slaw that stood on its own but highlighted the sandwich (very messy - don't wear white!) The server was great, too. She was efficient, friendly but not a "honey" or "sweetie" in the conversation. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND FOR A SUPER LATE-AFTERNOON LUNCH! read more

Visited here on a Thursday night with some girlfriends. They were closing within 30 minutes of us getting there, so we got one drink & danced around a bit. Seems like a fun place! $5.50 for a white claw seems a bit steep though read more

This is a super fun bar for line dancing. Great vibes and really nice people. Friday nights they have lessons every few hours that are very helpful. Dj plays great songs. They also have pool tables and games. Food is not bad here. Would recommend coming if you want to learn line dancing or have been doing it for a while. read more

Horrible bar service. The food was horrible. Potatoes were cold. Corn was burnt. Chicken fried steak tasted like it was nuked in a microwave. Sat at the bar and takes forever to get a beer when it's not even remotely busy. read more

Very cool bar. Happy house good service and the food was really Good. Played cornhole there and definitely was Digging the vibe. We will be back read more

I miss how Honky tonk was a few months ago... Haven't been back in since I realized the whole crew changed and not for the better. I miss how positive and up beat the Honky tonk used to be just a few months ago... Sitting on the side line watching the shift has been very interesting. Hopefully Honky tonk can get the right people back in there and get this place picked back up where it left off... read more

Honky Tonk has all new servers and bartenders since my initial review. What a difference they have made. This new group is friendly and attentive. If you don't get immediate attention, it's probably because there is a sizable crowd. But they definitely earn extra points for service now. But my interaction with management is what really prompted me to do this update. I'm a huge fan of Big Buck Hunter. So when I played the game there and it performed less than admirably, I wrote to management to try to get the guns adjusted. The manager was very accommodating to my request and has had the maintenance company out on a few occasions to fix the game for me. I really appreciate it when organizations take the time to deliver stellar customer service. This was one of those instances. Plus, Honky Tonk is one of the few venues in the Salem area that offers good, consistent live music and the only one, as far as I know which offers live country music on a regular basis. Throw in the weekly line-dancing lessons, pool tournaments, and special events, and this place sets itself apart from other bars. And the outside patio is a nice place to hang out when the weather is nice (and especially good with live music). read more

would leave negative stars if possible charge you for drinks then tell you there is a cover and either pay or lose the drinks you bought then close whenever workers decide they want which is usually a hour before worse service ever read more

We got their Saturday about 6:30 me and friends . Friends order a chicken wrap split and I order a patty melt. Friends got their meal and finished. 20 minutes after they finished my friend went to look for waitress and my meal. 8 minutes later she came and drop food off and ran away. I'm a waiter for over 40 years and very easy going as they were understaffed. I took one bite of patty melt and it was ok but the fries were like cold. I took the plate to bar and ask them to take off my food and another bartender/ waitress said ok and I'll take my check. 20 minutes later I finished by second beer and went to bar and seen my waitress. I as for my check and ask to make sure my food was taking off as my plate still sit were I brought it back. She came back with an attitude and ask why? I said my friends were done eating for over 20 minutes before we ask you wher my food was at and when I got it the fries were Luke warm. She then proceeded with attitude and gave me my adjusted check. What an attitude. She would have got a 5.00 tip on a 8 dollar bill because as a lifetime waiter shit happens and I'll still tip great because shit happens. But give me an attitude and treat me like shit. You will not only get stiffed and you will get a bad review. I'll give it another try because I have no ideal why. read more

Yeehaw! How did I never know that Salem had line dancing? I went just for line dancing and had quite the time. It's been 12 years since I've line danced and I do not know what I'm doing. If that's you.. the instructor is awesome! All the people who know what they're doing make it look so fun. Great atmosphere for a bar! read more

This is where my wife and I do date night; they have dancing, karaoke, live music, pool and fun around every corner. Their BBQ wings are a must try and the staff is always friendly. read more

Everything was fine until the bartenders 3 goons stood up, and threatened my existence. I was fine with being cut off because that's the reputation of this bar. However when thing's got nasty she was purposefully allowing 3 men to become violently responsible for trying to get 2 gay men out of the bar. I won't say they are outwardly homophobic, but it was close to it. I had only had 2 beers at that point, and certainly not visibly drunk. I wear partials, and have a slur. I was degraded by the bar tender. She even thought it was appropriate to have 3 very large customers threaten me. read more

I gave this place a chance 5 different times, different days and times with different groups of people. Every time it took way too long to get serviced. I stood at the bar, money in hand and it would take 15 min to get a drink and it wasn't very busy. The staff didn't make eye contact and weren't welcoming. My fiancé got the same treatment. read more

Went back to Honky Tonk to see the growth what they have done. Nothing! Same bar, horrible music, drinks are over rated. This place can be a success too f they choose their bands better. I know they want the western theme, understandable Western theme? Maybe. Customers and band with them lasting hats? Maybe not. Alcohol to mix ratio? Not good. How they stay afloat? Beyond me. I think lots of friends in the industry, that only lasts so long Good luck. read more

came in been sitting at an empty it's not empty anymore for at least 20 minutes and then the crowd comes a line at the two bartenders one that put a wig on with no mustache but a hat the other one has a wig on with came and asked us for anything even though they've seen not going on, but I don't recommend this place for read more

Went to the Honky Tonk because of the band that was playing that night. We had decided to eat there. The food was mediocre at best. The service was good not great. Probably would eat before I go next time. Not worth the price for mediocre food. read more

If you want to feel comfortable and enjoy moral people, probably avoid this place. The owner is downright rude and it's likely why the service is terrible. I waited a bit to make my review because I really don't like leaving not great reviews but yeah, you couldn't pay me to come back. Bad vibes, rude owner and generally not a good time. Trust me, go somewhere else. read more

Great service. Friendly and quick. Great place to meet friends. Call when they are not busy to ask about free line dancing classes.

It's rare when you meet complete strangers that treat you like loved family. To all road dogs, this place is worthy of your business! read more

New owners have done wonders with this establishment. I've been in three times in the past few months - I simply cannot get enough of the house made brisket chili and the top shelf bourbon selection is an added bonus. Great staff and wonderful service - recommend! read more

We enjoyed our evening out on the patio listening to the Robert Henry Band. Wait staff did an okay job for as busy as it was that night. read more

Honky Tonk Bar and Grill - Robert Henry Band. - Dance Clubs Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Good ol'tasty hamburger and fries. The hamburger was seasoned to perfection, and so were the fries. All the veggies were fresh and crisp. I also ordered the hot wings, and they were pretty good. They were crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. The flavoring was Franks, and I would have liked to see it with a little more authentic sauce. Good, though. Service was fast and friendly. I will return. read more

I am absolutely upset with the owner about the way they treated another patron. They were rude and abusive. I will never visit this establishment again and hope that others will be aware that this is a very inconsiderate establishment. read more

I feel so bad for the staff! The manager/owner is crazy mean! I don't want anyone to get in trouble, but every dang staff member I spoke with has had a bad experience with her. She even came to our table and demanded to know the person who complained about the slow service. It was super awkward and I just can't go back. I love that this business supports veterans and conservative values, but that woman is horrible! I'm sad that I can't support the business anymore, but I wouldn't be true to my values if I kept going there with that women being so unprofessional and hostile. Hope you get rid of her - if you do, please let me know so I can come back! read more

If I could give a 0 star I would. Terrible service, our group of 4 stood at the bar waiting for a drink for a very long time, bartender made eye contact several times but would serve others that would just walk up first. My husband decided to walk to the other side (the front) to get served, thinking maybe they don't serve that side. When he went over there he stood for a long time and waited his turn, then got skipped again when a few people leaned over and hollered for another round. My husband hit the bar a few times and said "Hey I've been waiting and I was next" he was not rude just trying to get the bartenders attention over the loud music. The bartender did not like it and refused to serve him. Another bartender came over and took our orders. She came back and said that she could get the entire groups drinks but my husbands, that they have decided not to serve him. Frustrated he said ok, and my husband who was not served paid for all of our drinks. when my husband asked for quarters to play pool the male bartender threw the dollar bill at my husbands face, and told him to leave. After talking with the manager and pointing out the fact that my husband never did anything wrong she told him "I know, the bartender does not like you, and wants you out so you have to leave". I went and talked to the male bartender and tried to close out our tab, the bartender would not give me my husbands card unless I showed him my boobs. We threatened to call the cops and the manager tried to take my husbands phone, and the manager said "that would cause problems for the cadets who are here" (they were clearly underage), we end up being shoved out of the bar without the card and noticed the charges on the card in the morning. We had a 30 dollar tab at max and were charged $299.99. When calling the bar the next day after seeing the charges we got told "don't be a dick and leave you card, it was so nice of you to buy rounds for the patrons that where left when you left" If I could give a negative number I would, but I can only give a single star. read more

Best service I've had since moving to Salem. Holly, our server, was great, and even went above and beyond to help point out great places in the area to check out. As someone who moved to the area right before all the closures, it is SO nice to have someone steer me in the right direction on how to enjoy myself being here. Hands down, I will be back. Brian was the manager on duty and did an incredible job on being accommodating. read more

I was hesitant to check this place out and couldn't have been proven more right the first trip in. Terrible, slow service and some options were overpriced for what it was. The management was particularly offensive and inappropriate when called upon. I would not recommend this place to anyone for any reason. I would give them less than a one if possible. read more

Great food and much better owners then before and very friendly a little slow but it is a nice place to go sit down and enjoy a healthy meal very fresh food as well read more

I've been here a few times with my wife now. We enjoy the happy hour food and drinks, I feel they have good prices for that. Definitely get the potato skins if that is something you like, fantastic deal on happy hour. read more

Good times to kick up your heels and hang out with friends. Great spirits, environment is just as it sounds... definitely on the country side. They have karaoke along with line dancing throughout the week. Bartenders are on point. Ask for Amelia.. in my opinion.. she's the best! They also have a full menu, but I have yet to eat here. Once Covid is over, I'll grab a bite to eat and update review!! read more

My first visit with my friend was pretty good. The drinks were stiff, service was prompt, and because it was a weeknight, there was line dancing and karaoke. My second visit with the same friend was terrible. Considering the state we go ourselves in the first time, I immediately downloaded the Uber app upon our arrival. No need, it turned out, because the BEYOND crappy waitress served me and my friend mostly soda and cranberry. Five drinks and all I got was a near diabetic coma. She was also entirely incapable of managing the "crowd" of patrons and continuously walked past us without even looking up. Finally, my bill was far higher than expected. I don't know what she was charging me for Sprite, but I do know she charged me full price for onion rings I ordered during happy hour. This was reflected in her tip. read more

Though the food and music are great, they decided to become political by placing derogatory posters against government officials on their walls which then made me decide to spend my money someplace else where I don't have to be aware of how someone votes. I loved eating here as did my entire family and we spent approximately $1200.00 per week on food, drinks and lottery. We have now taken our business a mile away to another business where we don't have to deal with politics while enjoying our time out. What a shame! read more

Linda J Comical while in the establishment you didn't have anything say! Yet can come on and leave a distasteful review! If you aren't happy with price, food or service that's one thing! But personally attacking someone you don't even know! Classless to say the least, by your statements everyone can see who the ugly nasty person! Hope you can find some health and happiness! Side note your review was left on 8/2/2021 which was a Monday , Honky Tonk was closed for an employee retreat 8/1, 8/2, and 8/3! So did you even visit the establishment? Shameful! read more

Horrible food and service....... food was so nasty... terrible cook...... stand at the bar and the waitresses just ignore you!

Had a hamburger it was real good. Line dancing, live music some nights. Service was excellent. Friendly staff.

Went to the Honky Tonk on a Friday night with hubby & girl friend. Customer Service was good, staff was friendly, Place was clean, steaks had good flavor (a little fatty). Marked this with three stars due to karaoke-did get to sing one song but then people were chosen to sing again that were young and chosen by DJ. read more

Stopped in for a late lunch on a Monday. Was extremely happy, had the cowboy burger! Everything was perfect, perfectly cooked burger, fries had amazing flavor and texture, great quick service. Good beer selection. Was not busy, I like that but they serve awesome food. Will be back for sure! Will recommend to everyone who's looking for a Good bite, extremely fair prices. Great beers on tap. Cool fun mixed drinks. It's country for sure but don't let that stop ya. I'd give them 6 stars if it was possible. read more

Great atmosphere! Super long drive from Vancouver, but no cover for live music on Friday and Saturday, good drinks. They don't serve pitchers of beer, but service was friendly. Spacious and fun. Will make the drive again. read more

This place is a hidden gem. Very country, line dancing.... need I say more. BUT the young lady Tanya is very sweet and a great bartender. Food is fantastic. We had wings and the bacon wrapped prawns. VERY YUMmmm. Great happy hour and drinks... come try! read more

For a small town this country BAR is BIG time! The service is amazing and ALWAYS with a smile, when they are busy for lunch even the cook serves so your food doesn't get cold. I ordered the special Grilled Turkey and Swiss with fries. BEST grilled sandwich EVER. NO JOKE. The fries are seasoned and yummy too. They also serve hush puppies like a bread with your meal with a hot chili sauce and that is amazing too. Great bands on the weekends and line dancing lessons too! A country bar is not usually me "go to" BUT this one is in this town! read more
