    Cinnamon Swirl French Toast Breakfast
    Aubrey J.

    Love the chill vibe here. The breakfasts are absolutely delicious with generous portions. The service has been great. The waitress is very communicative and considerate to all patrons. Definitely a "must go" place for breakfast!

    We decided to try this place out based on reviews, and it was close by. The menu prices were a tad higher than the current pictures. They were really busy when we showed at 11am on a Wednesday. The staff seem to have a great team approach. It was nice to see, although maybe a bit understaffed. All were really nice. We ordered a Manhattan burger with onion rings, and the Chicken Fried Steak meal. The burger was good, basic, and the onion rings were amazing. The cook did mess up two parts of that order though. The CFS was large, but thin, and crispy. It tasted good, but I was shocked at how thin it was. The eggs were a perfect over medium. For covid they are social distancing, requiring masks, wearing masks, limiting how many are in the store and how many are seated, and controlling the flow of traffic. I felt comfortable eating in the restaurant.

    This location is convenient and the service is decent, other than that, it just ok. The prices are way too high for the quality and portions of food you receive. I mean, way too high. You can get a better deal for a grand slam at Denny's for 1/2 the price and the decor will be a lot more updated. Paying $4.40 for a side of onion rings (about 6) or 2 pieces of bacon for $3.00 is just hi way robbery. The photo of the burger is attached and will speak for itself in quality and size. It had a cheap flat bun with a pre-packaged meat party and a thin small piece of bacon slid in-between. All that lack of wonderness for a whopping $13.. Not right! The French toast topping (pictured) was runny and therefor made the bread soggy fast. Experienced cooks would know this the first week in training. This place isn't decorated in authentic 1987 decor on purpose it's just never been remodeled or updated. The menu is archaic with minimal choices. The drink choices are few and the prices are high. The seating is old and comfortable is not the word that comes to mind. The bathroom is tiny, old and not the best smelling. So, it takes a lot to get me to give you 2 stars, but the proof or evidence is to overwhelming to avoid and ignore.

    Cute little diner, friendly staff. Stayed on top of the coffee refills. I had the country fried steak, it was tasty. I would go again if I'm Salem, Oregon again !

    Great little diner! This was our 2nd time in. A nice go to place, if you're in the area. Waitress was very attentive and nice. We will be back.

    Senior portion chicken fried steak!  Incredibly yummy, tender enough to cut with a fork, excellent sausage gravy, all home made!

    Went here while on a work trip and the food was phenomenal…read more It's an order and pay at the counter then get your food when it's ready kind of bar atmosphere. Super friendly staff. Their ciders are great, I tried the Viking Cherry Cider and loved it so much I bought a six pack to take home, at $18 for 6 it was still absolutely well worth it. For food my coworker got the Fish and Chips, deep fried in beef tallow for those who avoid seed oils, and said it was excellent. I had a caesar salad and fries to go with my cider and it was a lovely meal. This will absolutely be one of our go-to spots when in Salem from now on.

The inside atmosphere is sports bar fabulous plenty of seating for groups or couples. We shared a juicy hazy IPA and an order of scotch eggs while sitting on the patio, which is shaded and comfortable with both picnic tables and bar-top seating. I was thrilled to find that the scotch eggs were not only delicious but also authentically prepared. The yolk was soft and slightly runny, and the crust was perfectly crisp and flavorful. This establishment is a true hidden gem. While the food prices are a little steep, the quality definitely makes it worthwhile. We will be back!

We felt well cared for, and I felt celebrated. The food was delish. We loved the fondue as an app, I think we ordered two, and some oysters. Everyone enjoyed their main courses, I loved my goat cheese dumplings. A few of the guys mentioned smaller servings, but I prefer quality to quantity, so maybe just order another entree‍. Bottles of wine were reasonably priced, which I always appreciate. Thanks Clink! for giving Salem a beautiful place for celebrations. Trying the happy hour next...
