Went there and as soon as I walked in there was a lady leaving, saying awful service! We were immediately greeted and offered to sit inside or outside. Our waiter was there within 5 minutes and was patient with us deciding what we wanted and came back every few minutes and helped when asked what he recommended between two items that I had picked. I went with the Capellini Pomodoro with chicken and had a side salad. It was delicious and the side salad was large and exceptionally fresh. I can't explain that woman being so disappointed but what I experienced was outstanding. I can't wait to go back! read more

Ordered panna cotta to pick up. Apparently for to go they literally just throw the panna cotta in a box, lose. Absolutely ridiculous. What a mess of way to serve your clients. How disgusting to open and find my food that should be in a dish because it's like a custard (buy plastic cups if you're going to do to go) - literally thrown in a box. Very disappointed read more

The first time we ate here they had just opened and none of us liked the food. The steak was over cooked and beyond salty. We had their lunch during a work event and the wraps and salads were good, not great. We decided to try one more time with two friends last night and it was consensus that the food is not good. The steak was overdone and more like roast beef. The burger had no flavor and came with the wrong toppings. The chicken sandwich was ok - the chicken was good but the slaw was not as described whatsoever. Had to fully remove it. Everyone tried it and agreed it was not only gross but wasn't was described on the menu. The pork sandwich was by far the worst. The service was decent. The ambiance is ok - it was St. Patrick's day at 7 and surprisingly dead. Just not our spot. Much, much better food in town. read more

The dining experience was top notch. We had a party of 6 and the service and food for everyone was amazing. I had the BBQB burger and was able to split it with my wife. My son ate every bit of his lasagna. Plates were cleared promptly when we were finished and we felt well taken care of. I can't wait to go back! read more

Went here with another couple for dinner. Nice place, clean, open. Noise level is high and we found ourselves having to yell a little bit at each other. Ordered drinks and food simultaneously. Drinks came, mojitos not sweet enough for the ladies. But adjusted by waitstaff. Food was just okay. Agree with comments on pub food. Tacos came with fries unless you ordered chips. The chicken on the tacos were diced and the portion size, street tacos, for $15.00+ 2.00 for chicken. My wife had the burger and didnt finish it. Again, just alright. Our bill, two dinners, three drinks $58. Our friends $51.00, two dinner three drinks. We kept getting the wrong tabs. After three attempts, we said forget it and just paid to leave. Won't be going back anytime soon. read more

The hamburger was bland. Not fresh. Fries good though! Service good, super nice. Was able to accommodate our group.

Ordered $52 worth of food on door dash for delivery. We got the fry platter, spaghetti and meatballs, capellini pomodoro, and a slice of Tiramisu. This was the most underwhelming food I've ever eaten. I didn't expect anything as I haven't been there or read any reviews but the food was simply horrible. The portion sizes were minuscule. I was appalled. Neither of the pasta dishes had really any flavor, at all. The garlic bread was comparable to the breadsticks at Pizza Hut. When you turn them over it looks the exact same. The fries were soggy and there wasn't much in there to begin with, they tasted like frozen food. I paid $10 for that. The only enjoyable part of the whole meal was the Tiramisu. I personally believe you should get a bigger portion for the $8 you spend but that being said it tasted as Tiramisu should, it was flavorful and creamy. If you like bland food and tiny portion sizes then maybe this place is for you. Maybe the dessert is more enjoyable like the Tiramisu? read more

Great service, the food was good, and so were the cocktails! They also have a nice option for happy hour drinks and menu items!

Wow!!! A coworker of mine said she was buying and was going to go pickup at Masonry Grill. I've never eaten there before but I just don't have very good experiences with restaurants lately so I was not expecting much. Wow, was I surprised when she brought my order. I ordered a lunch special which was a turkey avocado sandwich and fries. I got 3 types of fries; batter fries, cottage and tots!!! YAY tots!!! I was not expecting that but was very grateful. Sandwich was awesome...yum!!! Sauces on the side even if you forget to ask for them...what great service!!! ALL for $10!!!! Such a deal for such a good lunch...THANK YOU!!! read more

Saturday night and nothing in the fridge for dinner. So after reviewing our options my husband found Masonry Grill. I had had a yen for calzone, but as I love breakfast, whether for breakfast, lunch or dinner, I went for the Breakfast Hamburger. Yum! Lettuce and tomato were crisp and cool, bacon and hash browns crispy and burger cooked to perfection. Oh snd the tots were awesome too. Unfortunately my husband's lasagna wasn't what you'd write home about. Just noodles snd sauce, but the apple cobbler was delish! We'll be back! read more

A friend and I went there today for lunch. The server was great. It was early in the day a little after 11. I ordered the Monte Cristo lunch special. I was very disappointed in this sandwich. It was not well constructed and was sort of just a general mass on my plate. The jelly they served on the side was more of a syrup than a jelly. My friend had a wedge salad and she thought it was good. I would never order that sandwich again there. read more

Nice atmosphere and Great burgers and pasta Prices are very reasonable Been there many times and enjoyed it each time

I love it! They have a dope staff that gets it right. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Go check them out ASAP

March 9th, around noon. Extremely rude host. You always want the first person to greet the guest to be warm, welcoming, and a good representation of your company. When we walked in the host ( young plus sized man with messy hair) was really quiet, seemed like he might be stoned... we asked him about switching cheese on a nacho chip to a fries( due to an allergy) at and he said "absolutely not" in a really condescending rude way. We asked him why, and he said "we just don't" and shrugged his shoulders. And then laughed in a rude way. So we left and went somewhere else. Within 30 seconds this man has persuaded me, and all my coworkers at a nearby business not to come back. Do better Masonry. read more

The food was over priced for what it was. The burger I had was ok, didn't come with cheese and it was over "masonry-sauce"d. The meat itself tasted like a hotdog, and was supposed to come with red onion but it was missing from my burger. It would have enhanced the burger by covering up the hotdog flavor, to be completely honest. The tots and fries were perfectly cooked, but lacked any seasoning or flavor at all. The service was ok. Wait staff was nice. read more

A great date night! They had so many delicious things that we had to share our top best menu items. The service was really awesome and the staff never looked distressed with how busy it was on a Saturday night. The dessert and pasta was amazing, but those Brussels were the best we've had in a long time. Only giving it a 4 because the first time we tried to go, we kind of got ignored while waiting in the doorway and then was told we couldn't be seated that night. We understood and glad we came back again. read more

Staff was great, very pleasant. There is a good vibe and atmosphere here. The food was sub-par, like going to a hole in the wall bar.

Came here for a post COVID lunch and also for a dinner. They have a fair bit of socially distances and well spaced seating both indoor and outdoors. They have a nice fire pit outside by the chairs. From the menu we had their flatbreads, Brussels sprouts, nachos, Asian noodle salad, hummus and vegetables as well as the margarita flight. We finished with tiramisu. Everything was fresh and service was excellent. read more

Our family went tonight. We have a vegan teen who ordered the portobello mushroom burger with tots and the Brussel sprouts without cheese or bacon. I had the smoked ribs (they were reasonably priced). My son had a plain burger. Wife had a side salad (that she enjoyed and was impressed by) and charcuterie plate. There were technical issues with our order. Our food arrived very late. The electronic device our server used to take our order didn't send the ticket to the kitchen. This probably won't happen to you, but it was unpleasant. The dining area was about a third full. We unfortunately and inaccurately expected this would mean something about the speed with which our meal would come. Bummer. Particularly since our booth had a clear view of the kitchen (a feature of the dining area that didn't work for me as I waited for our apps). We discovered a new gin though. From Albany/Corvallis. (Vivacity). We loved our gin and tonics. The appearance is nice. Warm clear coat wood on the tables and booths. Edison bulbs. Restaurant name "MASONRY" in moss. High ceilings. (Insert often repeated comment about noise levels here). Ugh. Here is the punchline. High end dining appearance with Red Robin sensibilities. By Red Robin sensibilities, I mean the menu is huge (like Applebees) with many reasonably priced items. I overheard two others groups dining saying they love this place. I don't doubt it at all. Just don't let the polished appearance lead you to believe that service, food, and presentation is as polished. It is not. read more

To the GM/Owners, I am not going to get specific here, except to say this... your server, Bailey, either needs training or maybe a new job that doesn't involve working with the public, either way, no excuse for her lack of customer service skills. After trying 3 times to get her attention , we were completely ignored, I approached the 2 gentlemen in the kitchen area and asked if they could at least bring menus and water for us..,not only did Sam W grab menus he apologized profusely for the long wait.Sam and Malikii were awesome!! Food was not only perfect, the presentation was outstanding! Thank you again Sam and Maliki for saving the day and because of their professionalism, we will return! read more

It's summer time in Oregon in the middle of a pandemic; of course we were looking for a restaurant with outdoor seating. Myself, my partner, my best friend and Godchild looking for food when we stumbled upon Masonry Grill. They had ample outdoor seating (attractive during Covid season) and a spacious and clean dining area. Also, extra bonus points for well decorated/color coordinated and CLEAN restrooms! What we ordered: Spaghetti carbonara Fresh spaghetti with egg yolk in a black pepper sauce. It was delicious! Cannelloni was cheesy and rich! Chicken Parmesan hoagie was on fresh bread and was served with a generous amount of tater tots (choice of side). We also ordered curly fries and beer battered fries as well. Both were crispy and fresh and well seasoned. What stole the show was the crispy calamari! The breading was not overwhelming and there were also onions and lemon slices fried with the calamari. None of us had ever seen fried calamari with fried lemon slices. It was crispy, crunchy, and refreshing! Now, amid Covid, we all try to be as accommodating as possible and the customer service at masonry grill was absolutely superb. Our server was Dylan. He was cheerful but genuine and we truly felt taken care of. In addition, we met Melissa, owner! Seeing the owner help out on the floor really can boost a restaurant's morale. Great job to Melissa for a successful business and Dylan for the amazing service! Stay well and be safe. Also, please be kind to one another! read more

Since I paid for the lot parking with a timer I know that I waited 1 hour and 10 mins for the food to get to our table. I am very disappointed how long it took! Our server was very apologetic. read more

The service is super friendly and the restaurant is very nice inside. Charming light fixtures and exposed brick wall. We ordered from the lunch menu. We shared a Buffalo chicken wrap and monte cristo with side winder fries. It was all just meh. My boy friend got the margarita flight which he said was really good. We may not have ordered something they are known for but the monte cristo was recommended. Would we come back? Probably not. No and Vine down the road is hands down better food and beer choices. Most of the beer was IPA (yuck). read more

Great Ambience, menu was somewhat limited when we ate there. Weren't excited to go back. May try again.

So I have heard a mixed bag from word of mouth on this location. I generally don't take a lot of things to heart until I have tried a place for myself. And I'm glad that I checked this place out. The venue is well thought out and the the vibe from the music is very fun. The service is on point and the staff was attentive to our questions and requests(which in its self is a lost art). The food it quick, original, and tasty. Check this place out on a sunny day or rainy day but shouldn't leave you lacking satisfaction unless you generally like to complain about sunshine and puppies, lol. read more

So, I went online for some reason and saw a picture of their deep dish pizza. It looked a lot like a deep dish Chicago pie, and those seem to be pretty hard to come by in Portland. So, we loaded up the car on a Wednesday and braved 5:00 I-5 southbound traffic and drove from Portland to Salem. God only knows how long that took. So, we ordered. Server said that deep dish took longer than regular pizza. No problemo. He came back a few minutes later and said they only did DD pizza Friday and Saturday nights. Drag. Didn't say the policy on menu or on-line. Would have been nice to ask if we wanted something else. Server didn't ask, and it didn't occur to us. Regular pizza came, and it wasn't bad. So, here's my beef. They knew that we came from Portland to have their deep dish they advertised. They could have felt sorry about us making the over an hour trip during I-5 hell and given us a beer or something. I mean, there was no way we could have know about their DD moratorium. We drove 80 miles while paying $5.49/gallon for gas. It was a nice trip with the fam, and we found some $5.19 gas on way home. I'm a whiner I know, but customer service goes a long way with me. I remember forgetting a camera for an event at Beaches in Vancouver, and the server ran across the street and bought a disposable camera for us. We tipped the hell out of her. read more

I have been reluctant to come here due to the mixed reviews. Judging from the photos it didn't look great to me. I hate to say my gut feeling was right. I enjoy good food and this did not hit the mark. The fettuccine Alfredo was bland and didn't even use Alfredo noodles. I expected the chicken we added to it to be a chicken breast. It was dark meat cut up and mixed it. It didn't even look good. We also ordered an appetizer on happy hour - the loaded fries. They were excellent criss cut fries but they were lacking them in general. I counted 8 fries. Our waitress was not very attentive either. She never once filled my water up and it was empty when she brought our food out. The only time she was friendly with us was when she brought the check. read more

Went for lunch and after one step in Lynette was ready to leave. It was clean and nice but not the feel we wanted. I wanted to give it a go anyway. Although the place is huge and the only customers, I had to get someone's attention to order. Third strike was Lynette wanted the house burger but with the bean replacing the beef patty. They couldn't substitute-I guess beans cost more than cows. Oddly the bean burger was $10 as was the house burger. She just wanted a burger and fries not the sides with the bean offering. So we left. Nice people nice place but have no idea about food quality since we walked out. Not anything special to draw us back to be honest. It's pub food in a warehouse with stiff furniture. I'm sure it's busy at night. read more

Went here with my family when they first opened. Our party consisted of two adults, one senior, and two children. Be aware, if you're looking for the worst service for ridiculous prices, to be ignored, and not eat, masonary grill is your holy grail. This is my first review ever and I've been to some bad restaurants. To start, we weren't greeted when we walked in. Then when we got our table, we asked for hot waters and lemon since its chilly out and they brought us iced waters. When we told our waiter we asked for hot waters he said he didnt hear us and took our drinks. Minutes later a lady who I assume to be the manager came out and told us she had no cups that could hold hot water... what restaurant has no cups that cannot hold hot water??? To make matters worse, 40 minutes pass by with our waiter walking back and forth to not acknowledge us or take our order. We even stacked our menu to let them know we were ready. After waiting an additional ten minutes, we walked out and went to Ritter's down the street and they have the best service. We were extremely happy after we actually got to have some food. Needless to say, after reading other reviews before even posting, we will never go back and have been telling people about our experience here when asked where to go. read more

Salem struggles to open good dining venues and Masonry Grill is part of that struggle. They have a great location and an awesome dining space but the food is sub-par. My husband and I went there on November 14, 2019, a Thursday night, it wasn't busy and there were plenty of seats available. We were seated immediately. The open concept, hard surface dining/bar area makes it very loud inside even when there aren't a lot of patrons. Sound dampening should be a priority. It appeared they were going for the Portland vibe which really is out of place in Salem. We had plenty of time to look over the menu because the server never appeared. By the time they did we ordered cocktails, our appetizer, and our entrees. We were served our appetizer relatively quickly but the cocktails took too long. They weren't difficult; an Old Fashioned and a Manhattan. When they arrived they were well made but the pour on the Manhattan was skimpy. It only filled half the serving glass. For our entrees I had wanted the ribs but was informed they "just ran out five minutes ago", so I went with my second choice; Brick Chicken. I asked to substitute the potato which came with the chicken for Mac and cheese which was listed to come with the ribs. When it was served there were two potatoes and no Mac and cheese. Upon pointing this out to the server, they apologized stated that the substitution confused them. Really? It was served with three spears of broccolini which were cold and rubbery. The chicken was dry and luke warm. My husband opted for the lasagna and he reported it was passable. Not great, not awful, but so-so. His dinner was piping hot which told me the kitchen staff needs to get their timing better. Speaking of the kitchen, it is open to the dining area so you can see the staff. I think the eclectic was to have that 'grill' feel, but the staff there should be aware the patrons can see them. When I'm am waiting a long time for my food, I don't want to see the cooks standing around chatting. As I listened to the serving staff bring food to adjacent tables I often heard the staff apologizing to the patrons about their meals. So much so I commented to my husband they should rename the place the "I'm sorry" grill. With such a small menu, how can they do so poorly? Is all the staff new? Like brand new, never worked in a restaurant new? I was hoping for a home run for Masonry Grill but it was a swing and a miss. I may go back to try their lunch offerings, but it will be awhile. If you're looking for a good place for dinner, look somewhere else. read more

Adding a star as we have been back in a couple of times and have had much better experiences. They tried out serving weekend breakfast for a bit, might bring it back but aren't currently offering that, and it was good, nothing unique, standard fare, but, as they were trying it out, we had a pleasant experience, Went back in again last night for dinner and I have to say their Smash Burgers are out of this world crazy good, I got the meatball sandwich which had really tasty house made meatballs, my wife got one of their October special Smash Burgers, a super cheese version, I had a bit and it was the best burger I have had in a long time, moist patties but with nice crispy edges from the smash part of the cooking process and the cheese and grilled onions were great. I still must try their deep dish pizza to see how it compares to my favorite Chicago style from growing up there, they only do that on Friday and Saturday after 4, FYI. They have a really terrific selection of liquor, lots of whiskies that I notices in particular, and, as I noted in my first review, they use the best vermouth, Carpano Antica, instead of the typical cheap versions that everyone else has, so Negronis, Manhattans, and Boulevardiers are going to be a notch above just based on that alone. We sat at the bar again and had attentive and friendly service from the bartender and the kitchen has greatly improved efficiency of getting food served. Definitely on our list of favorite downtown places now. read more
