Very clean, excellent service. Had the French dip and battered fries. Fries and bread were delicious but the main ingredient, roast beef was dry and flavorless. I'd be willing to try something else. Customer service goes a long way and it's the best I've experienced in a long time. read more

Wasn't terribly impressed the first time we came here, but the second visit was much better. First, the staff was very helpful and understanding when we showed up with one extra person than the reservation we made. We sat outside, but they have lots of heaters set up. Mac and cheese was much better than the burger I had last time. I saw several other things on the menu I want to try, including another stab at a burger, so I'll be back. read more

Love love love their Mac and cheese! Friendly service and I've enjoyed the taste of everything so far I've had or family/friends had. The ribs were sparse on meat, mostly bone, so I wouldn't order that again for its price. I LOVE their margarita flight!! The only thing that leaves me removing two stars was that the most recent time my family and I were there dining in, the host who was prepping the next day's silverware at the table in the corner, right next to ours, was not wearing her mask while she was rolling them really closely to her face and as she talked a lot to various coworkers who'd sit with her and chat. Her mouth being that directly inches away from patron silverware with spit coming out from normal breathing and lots of talking had me wary of her lack of concern over virus spread. She constantly touched her phone as well while handling the silverware. I normally hate rousing any complaint, but I genuinely don't want anyone getting sick nor do I think Masonry Grill's management would be happy if people started getting sick after eating from their restaurant, nor would they likely want any other paying guests to see the lack of health precaution taken by one of their employees. read more

This is one of my new favorite spots. The food is outstanding, the prices are good for the portions and quality, the menu has lots of variety, and the service is also very good. I love that they have so many fry options, and if you want, you can order a mix of all of them as a side. I highly recommend the Soy Ginger Wrap. I'm usually not a huge wrap person but my mom ordered it first, I tried a bite, and I had to go back and get it for myself another time. They have a beautiful, decent sized outdoor seating area, and the interior is beautiful as well. read more

Had the Blue Burger. Best blue cheese burger I've ever had. Made to perfection. Generous serving of tots came with it. Bread pudding for dessert with vanilla ice cream was a great way to end it. Friendly staff and on top of things. Starting to be a regular here. read more

Staff was super nice but the food was sub-par for what it costs. I used to think that you couldn't mess up nachos but lo and behold, they proved me wrong. It just wasn't all that great. My husband ordered the French dip and he said the bread was soggy but the meat was dry and cold, the au ju was good, and the fries were good but you can tell they weren't made fresh. We won't be returning and I don't recommend this place. read more

On the possitive side, the restaurant looks amazing and the service was excellent. I really wish I could say the same for the food. I ordered their grilled chicken alfredo and it was a total disapointment. The alfredo sauce had no depth of flavor and the chicken looked like and tasted like it was boiled and cut into weirdly shaped squares. The "bread sticks" that came with the dish were cold like they came out of the refridgerator. I recommend the owners step it up and do it quick! Grill the chicken, put it on top of the pasta and make an alfredo sauce that's amazing. I'd be glad to come back and write a glowing review of that dish. Until then, I'm not coming back... read more

been here a few times, it's decent, would give 3.5 stars if i could. brussel sprout app is good, though it needed 1 more minute to crisp up the outter leaves. i dig the breakfast burger (without the bun), others in my party liked the bevette steak (i found it under-seasoned), & the butternut ravioli portion was so small (6 ravioli) that it was lucky that person had also ordered a side salad. service was slow, particularly considering there were only a few other tables on a weeknight. noticed they no longer have their video poker/lottery machines in a back room. (i don't care but my husband likes to waste his money playing them.) it's nothing special but i'll be back. read more

The atmosphere is very modern. Very clean. We had dinner with our son and his wife and we all enjoyed it very much. Our server was a super nice guy; attentive but not pesky. Our daughter-in-law had a fruity cocktail ( I can't remember the name) something with berry in the name and it had gin in it. She really liked it. My husband is a Manhattan coni suer, it's his favorite cocktail and he knows a good one when he tastes it. He said theirs was the best he'd ever had! He also had an Old Fashioned and it was spot on. Our son had a beer and the BBQ Burger, his wife had the Grilled Caesar Salad, I had the Beef Tacos and my husband had the Bavette (sp?) Steak. All of it was awesome! Bill was just over $100 for 4 entrees, 3 cocktails, and an IPA beer, and very worth it! Highly recommend this place! We will be back. read more

Restaurant was clean and service was prompt. My wife and I had the Fried Brussel Sprouts and found then salty and very tough, like they had not been cooked long enough. She had the Pulled Pork Sandwich with the waffle fries and both were awesome, she said. The sandwich was flavorful and the fries were crispy and not greasy. I had the Yakisoba Salad with chicken and if I get it in the future, I will NOT add the soy ginger dressing: it was heavily salted and that ruined the salad. All in all, we'll give it another try in the future. read more

I went on what appeared to be opening night. The physical space is very impressive. The owners clearly invested a significant amount of money in renovating the building. It has much more natural light and should open up to the outdoors during the warm-weather months. It still feels a little bit like a work-in-progress, however, with few wall hangings, some open space in the back apparently serving as a storage area, and an entrance area that could use some finishing touches. It will likely be a loud space. The menu is standard higher-end Oregon pub grub fare. The beer selection is excellent. I ordered the burger with tater tots. The tater tots were perfect! Golden and crispy -- very hard to stop eating. The burger was mediocre. It was advertised as coming with a "special sauce" -- they hardly put any on. The biggest issue with this place, however, is the service. It was completely haphazard. Nobody at the bar knew who was supposed to take my order. The bartenders looked completely harried and confused. While trying to order, my bartender was distracted by two different things. The two televisions were on random channels (not live sporting events) -- clearly no one was paying attention. I had to ask for salt & pepper, ketchup, and silverware. Nothing came without me asking for it; no needs were anticipated. The ketchup is served in a small ceramic bowl, which is much classier than serving it in a half-full bottle with crusty ketchup around the lid. The problem, however, is that they keep the pre-filled bowls of ketchup in a fridge in the kitchen (rather than behind the bar), so it took 5 minutes to get my ketchup after being served my burger. The burger also did not come with a steak knife, which made it difficult to cut in half. I fully understand that opening night can be crazy, but this place should have invested in training its servers better before opening. Hopefully it will do so in the future. read more

It's a really great place to go and enjoy dinner with friends and family really nice staff and crew

Slowest bar service EVER !! Watch the bartender putting away dishes anc other stuff while waiting on our 2 drinks! Ate our meal before getting another round of drinks. Food was good. Once we got drinks they were good but expensive for the small glass full of mostly ice they come in. read more

I'll pass next time. I recently went here after reading to mediocre reviews, I thought it looked cool and wanted to give it a chance for myself. We went at lunch time and the place was dead maybe 3 other tables, but yet service was slow, so slow we were scrounging to see if we had enough cash on us to pay and leave. The food was just okay, nothing special or extra tasty, just underwhelming. I think it was one of the few times I felt like leaving my leftovers instead of taking them to go. I really think they could use some work on curating a better menu, maybe quit trying to be mediocre at a bunch of things and be good at a few. This place seems like it has the right ingredients to be a fun happy hour if they worked on the food and drinks a bit more! read more

Comfort food- super good! Loved the pork chop I had. The old fashioned didn't have a cherry in it, which is a staple to that cocktail.

Lunch. Ordered Cesar salad, added chicken. Came two Romain spears wilted from grilling. Topping dropped on top. No way to eat this. Asked for a simple bowl of chopped lettuce and was refused. Friends Cobb sales had brown lettuce, though it was at least chopped. My water glass was dirty. Your chef is not willing to chop me some lettuce? Get over yourself. I won't be back. read more

Did not read reviews prior, didnt know this place existed, used to be a spaghetti place here. We were just driving around and my wife saw it. So we tried it. It seemed sparse, little unorganized, found out its been open less than a month. Ok. Got an appertizer, "cakes.". Very good. But as soon as the appetizer was set down, the meal came. Ouch, this is the first thing you do NOT do in a resteraunt. So the food. Burger for me, risotto for the wife. Excellent. Oops, wheres my salad dressing?? Lol. We will definitely go again. Issues were not the staffs fault, blame management and bad training, no way I'd blame the staff, very nice people. read more

Masonry Grill has a wonderful atmosphere, bar and potential. I hope to see it realize the latter soon. Drinks are generous and well priced. Tonight we had the Mango Drop and a Masonry Punch and for appetizer, Nachos with chicken. For dinner, our party of 3 ordered The Cluck, Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and Lasagna. Well... the nachos were good. The Cluck, a crispy chicken sandwich, recommended by staff, is just that. Nothing special. Curly fries were said to be good. Lasagna? Who the heck uses steak on lasagna?? Prego sauce, over cooked noodles and steak.. steak! Save this choice for OG, you'll be happier. Fettuccine Alfredo had little cream but more of a milky, runny sauce and chicken from a can, Chicken of the Sea style. And very little of that, even. Sigh. Inquiry about menu and questions about food brought only blank looks from staff. Price for all was $81. So not bad for 3 people but quality was disappointing. With so many wonderful choices available in downtown Salem, Masonry Grill will need to step up their game. I would however, recommend the appetizer and drink menus. I will be back if just for these. And the atmosphere. read more

My wife and I had high hopes for this place, but sadly, no dice. I was quite excited to see that they had a monte cristo on the menu, however the thrill of victory quickly turned into the agony of defeat when my meal arrived. My idea of a monte cristo is a sandwich that is batter-dipped, dusted with powdered sugar and served with a side of preserves or compote for dipping. The sandwich that came to the table was none of those things and basically looked like a school cafeteria meal. I've eaten many monte cristos and this was pretty much the saddest excuse for one I've ever encountered. Fortunately the accompanying tater tots and beer were good, hence the two stars. All I can say is whoever came up with this place's menu needs to go to the Purple Parrot in Reno, NV and order the monte cristo so that they can see how it's supposed to be done. The waitress was friendly but not very attentive. Oh yeah, my wife got a pizza and it was underwhelming at best. With so many good dining options in Salem, there's no reason to ever go back. read more

The space is large and acoustically very live and loud. The open kitchen contributes to the noise. There's a cafeteria atmosphere in the area where they majority of the tables are located (no table decorations at all). We sat in a booth-- some of the booths have electrical outlets (sweet). We had the Brussels Sprouts to start. Nicely plated, good combination of ingredients, but evidently a trainee in the kitchen thought it was a good idea to heavily salt a dish that was already salty with bacon and cheese. Yuck. Our drinks arrived next, and they were okay. The ribs come with a fabulous cilantro lime coleslaw that might be the best thing we ate. The Brick Chicken was decent tasting (although I'm not a fan of burned food-- see picture-- I try to avoid carcinogens in general). My husband said the ribs were good. Dessert was bread pudding. It came with a nice vanilla bean ice cream, but was not pudding-like at all. (They had run out of Death by Chocolate). Prices are high for the quality. Well intentioned, but we will wait awhile to return after they work out the kinks. Service was outstanding. In fact, our server was the one truly bright spot of the experience. read more

So sorry to say, very slow service over 30 mins to get to order and over 30 wait to be served and then the food was ordinary, with a very high price. If you go on lunch break, allow well over an hour for lunch. Like 1.5 hours at least. I expected so much more. read more

I like the location, the fire, beautiful setting, great food, fast service and 1930's vibe. The music also sets the mood and I believe the Masonry is a great addition to Salem. read more

I was not happy at all with the food or service . They put bacon on my fries when I told them not to. They did not give me another plate of fries all they did was pick the bacon off totally not acceptable. My burger came back raw when I asked them to do it well done. The manager in charge just wanted to give us more food when me and my friend were very disappointed at this point . read more

Never caught his name but our waiter was the Saturday night bartender super nice guy food was super good and drinks as well would highly recommend ! I will definitely be back read more

Service was good. Food was just ok. Prices are pretty good. Risotto was pretty good. Ribs were not something I would order again.

After spending a couple hundred bucks on food and drinks, I walk out to my car in the adjacent parking lot, only to find a $39.00 ticket! The door into the restaurant was in the parking lot, I assumed they at least validated. The fact that the door and outdoor seating are in the parking area tells me they probably own the lot. No great way to make money on their customers. I won't be back read more

Love this place. Great food, amazing drinks and a perfect place to sit outside and catch up with friends. The outdoor seating with the fire going makes it perfect anytime. read more

An absolute disaster. Terrible food and service. You're better off going to the local Arby's for sandwiches and fries. Not cheap either. This place has to do some seriously reflection on what is going wrong here as echoed in the other posts. Time to bring in Gordon Ramsay guys read more

Great atmosphere for date night, girls night, or a family dinner. Staff is very friendly. Cocktails here are great, and we love the tacos and the steak salad. Curly fries are pretty good too read more

We LOVE everything Chef Sam has to offer! We went for the grand opening this evening and everything was incredible! My kids loved their Mac n cheese and my Risotto with bacon and shrimp was soo good! My friend had the pomodoro which was really flavorful but still light! Cocktails by Bree we're perfectly balanced with fresh fruit purée! Wish we had room to try the bread pudding or homemade ice cream sandwich! Can't wait for my next visit to try more of the menu! read more

See all

Went on a friday night and it was busy. The service was not very good. The atmosphere was loud and I understand some people enjoy that. The food was not very good: the tots are simple tots like you would buy and cook in the oven at home, the burger patty was pretty hard, the smashed potatoes were not tasty and were actually very dry, the ribs had to be cut apart with a steak knife and were quite tough, the side salad was lettuce and two slices of tomato and nothing else, the chicken tacos were ok, the steak was just ok, and when we asked about the broccolini we were told it was just broccoli but actually came out with peppers, mushrooms, etc. We will likely not try our luck there again any time soon. read more

Yumm!! We both had the smash burgers....amazing! Great service and great food! I will definitely be back!

My husband and I went to Masonry for lunch shortly after they opened in November and had a great experience. We were there around 2:00, so the restaurant wasn't crowded. The food was really good--I'd call it elevated pub food--and the service couldn't have been better, friendly and attentive without being overbearing. There were vegetarian options, too, which is always appreciated. We're both looking forward to going back--I suspect Masonry Grill will become one of the few go-to restaurants we choose from. read more

Had a really good experience. One of the better gluten free pork sandwiches I've had in a long time. My wife is very happy with her yakasoba steak salad. Good services. Both we mikes suggestions. Both were awesome. read more

My husband and I went there tonight and everything was perfect! Our server was Malcom and he was attentive, friendly, and quick. I ordered the butternut squash ravioli and it was by far the best I have ever had. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and we loved our server! read more

Very new restaurant to Salem, and It kind of shows. Not complaing though, I was please with the over-all vibe of the place, I enjoyed the decor/atmosphere. The servers were pleasant and attentive. However it does seem like they are still adjusting. Figuring out some kinks. Our drinks were wonderful, we just had an appetizer of the fried brussel sprouts. Some were a little over, some were a little too fried crisp, but very delicious in flavor and the addition of blue cheese was a nice surprise. Overall, I think they need to grow a little and get things rolling, but they are off to an amazing start, we will be back again! read more

A group of us decided to try the new place in town. The space is very cold and sterile. The waitress seated us promptly, there was only one other table. We had to ask to order drinks, which took a while. Our server did not know basic menu items and had to go to the kitchen several times to ask. We had calimari and burgers. The calimari was cold, tasteless and rubbery. The burgers were dry and could barely cut it in half. When we asked for a side of the sauce, we were told there was a charge. Very unappealing meal on all accounts. We might try it again but we will wait months until they can get their act together. Very unfortunate for a new restaurant. read more

Burnt chicken and only stems for the broccoli. Super disappointed:( and for the price was not worth it. Also, two red potatoes served whole as the roasted potatoes?? Whackkk and expensive for no reason read more

I truly enjoy the several vegetarian options and how fresh everything is. The servers are extremely helpful and I cant get over how beautiful the restaurant is and how the bar feels like a New York bar. read more

Beautiful space in a fantastic location. The bar, service , & menu is diverse & high quality. This is in the heart of downtown.
