Made An Order For Three Burgers, Four Fries & Two Drinks For Pick-Up Because Of This COVID-19. Our Order Was Done Really Fast & Waiting For Us. The Burgers Are Huge, The Helpings Of Fries Was Alot. The Burgers Came Out Just As Advertised. It Has The Thickest Slice Of Bacon I've Ever Had On A Burger. They Taste Great & They Have @ Least Four Variations Of Fries. My Wife Recommended Your Place & Her Description Was Spot On. Love Your Food. I Fully Recommend Their Food If You Like Burgers & Fries. The Best Around. Thanks. read more

We like this place and I gave it 4 stars because I don't want to hurt your rating. Here's the deal, we went there Friday afternoon and we were really looking forward to a meal and drinks but there was someone sitting next to and leaning on the fire pit and he reeked of cigarette smoke, didnt have a mask on, a waitress did say something to him, maybe that he should move but he didn't. Since we prefer sitting outside and didn't feel comfortable with him there, we just went to another restaurant but we were disappointed that we couldn't eat here. read more

Two stars are for the good service, but our lunch was a serious disappointment. I ordered the Yakisoba ginger wrap with chicken. The fries were decent but the wrap...The level of salt was so overwhelming like it was all soaked in strait soy sauce for hours. I barely ate half of the wrap as I just couldn't tolerate the pure salt taste, it was overwhelming. I then tried to just eat the chicken out of the wrap for some protein but chicken was clearly the frozen and precooked variety you might find in a frozen dinner.. I left disappointed and still hungry. My husband ordered the Monte Cristo that was equally disappointing. A traditional Monte Cristo this was not. It was a basic grilled ham and cheese we could have made at home.. This sandwich is always served with a berry jam or compote and a sprinkle of powered sugar on top. It's what makes the sandwich so special. His sandwich was far from special.. Waffle fries so over cooked and hard he couldn't eat them. Big waste of money, $35, and a huge disappointment. Our excitement of being out and about on a beautiful spring day ended up right back at home making sandwiches. PS I just now read all of the other reviews and sad I didn't before we were ripped off today. What I find shocking is how the owner or even the manager can't respond to the disappointed customers recognizing and/or apologize for their short comings . Crickets. I'm predicting they won't be there long. Save your money and read reviews before you decide on a place to eat. read more

This was the WORST meal I have ever had and the quality was just disgusting. When this was brought up to the server I was met with hostility and my meal was not comped even though their quality of service and product was not to my liking. Beware, do not go here if you want a good meal or good service -- you won't find it. read more

Well, we got the bill and were pleasantly surprised. Charged for two burger lunch specials at $8 each rather than the menu price of $12. But why? After we ate, the waitress explains that it is the Lunch Menu price but they ran out of the menus! Did she offer to tell us BEFORE we ordered? NO. They certainly did not run out of alcoholic drink menus: one on the table and one to both of us. What else was on the Lunch Menu? Must I give the THIRD DEGREE questioning to wait staff everywhere I go? Or just at Masonry Grill? It wasn't like the place was full and the menus were all taken. I belong to a group of about 20-25 that eat out once a month. This place would not be conducive for a group this size. With all the hard surfaces, it would be too noisy. For a downtown restaurant I was surprised to see mainly seniors for the lunch hour. Wish them well, but it is obvious they are still struggling. read more

Came in with my family and ordered a $30 steak asked for MEDIUM WELL, i got my plate and first of all the steak was so dry and sooo over cooked, crispy even. The brocoli SO salty.. I asked if I could get something else. Ordered the pasta Alfredo with chicken, got the plate and the breadstick on the side freezing cold. At that point I just knew I'd never come back.. read more

Holy cow. Their mac n cheese is freaking crazy good! Stopped in with kiddo for a bite and chose some of their happy hour items. I wasn't expecting much, but the quality and taste of the hummus plate, nachos and mac n cheese was impressive! I can't wait to take everyone I know there just for the mac n cheese - which is a huge thing for me to say because I've yet to be impressed by this dish anywhere. read more

The atmosphere is wonderful. The remodel was beautifully done. Went for an early lunch. Got there around 11:30am on a Tuesday. Let me start with the menu. Clearly, whoever picked the font for the menu did NOT look at it carefully. Several words looked like typos because the font is scrunched tight. It was actually hard to read and that isn't just because I'm over 40 and need my glasses. I had my glasses with me. The food was pretty good. The apps were a bit overpriced for the amount we got. Tots and curly fries were great. But the thing that made my experience over the top bad (and which probably jaded my opinion of the food) was the total ineptitude of our server. He clearly has never waited tables before and was a tad (if not flat out) creepy (stared awkwardly at us only a few feet away.) He couldn't answer one question about the menu. We had to ask for silverware and we witnessed another table get up and get their own silverware as well. Also had to ask for refills for our water. And while the service was terrible, I firmly blame the management for not properly training him. That was clearly obvious. I understand there are always kinks to work out with a new restaurant but even standard levels of service were NOT met here. I'll likely come back again for drinks and see what it's like at night - but that is mostly due to the fact that the atmosphere is so great. Fix the service and I could easily give this place 4 stars. read more

So absolutely terrible. It took forever to get our food, and when we did, 2 out of 4 of us couldn't even eat more than a few bites. I ordered the nachos, which came glued together with cheese and a little dollop of guacamole and sour cream. But the most horrid thing was the salsa. I love salasa. It's my favorite thing ever. This salsa is the worst I've ever had in my life. It stunk and it tasked bad. Everyone at the table concurred. I will never ever in all the days of my life, ever eat here again. The female workere were very nice. They were the positives in a sea of negatives. read more

First off I'm not one to rate off service, but this was hands down the worst service ever. Constantly waiting for the server, the bartender "forgot" my dates drink that I asked about 3 times and we finally got as our meal was almost done. Got the bill and couldn't get my card out fast enough to catch the waitress. Waited 10 mins, comes out of the back walks past us grabs her phone at the bar and walks out. Comes back 5 mins later talking on her phone before grabbing my card lol. Food was mediocre, the guava drop that we waited for all night tasted like a lemon drop with a splash of grapefruit. Honestly reading the reviews I thought this place was getting trolled. But sadly it could not be more spot on. Don't waste your time hoping to find a new spot in Salem. Very noisy as well. read more

Great local spot with friendly staff, tasty food, and excellent local wine selection! All covid protocols were followed, staff made great recommendations and were appropriately attentive. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, the mac and cheese was creamy and flavorful, and the BBQ sauce was soooooooooo good! Outdoor seating area was comfortable with plenty of heating elements to stave off the winter chill. Highly recommend!! read more

Went there on Nov 1st with my family for their grand opening. Very impressed for this being their first day. My wife loved their lasagna. My kids loved the calamari. I had the ribs with coleslaw and substituted fries for the mac. Everything was great. Being their first day they were still waiting on some furniture deliveries. No high chairs yet but the friendly owner assured some were on the way. The drinks were fantastic and the team was impressively organized for a first day. Another great location downtown. A few suggestions. Make a small kids menu, you already serve Mac and cheese and could easily make a kids size portion. You also seem to have the ingredients to make a kids quesadilla, kids taco, maybe a slider? Would be nice to have kids cups available too... other than, love the place and looking forward to eating here again. read more

Enjoyed the ambiance the most. It's definitely a cool restaurant and was designed well. The food was decent, but nothing to write home about. We had the queso fundito, the beer pretzels, the brussel sprouts, burgers, a ham and cheese sandwich, and the grilled caesar salad. However, the service honestly ruined the experience for us. It is apparent that the waiters (particularly our main waiter) were not trained well at all. He seemed aimless and shy, but what's worse is that he couldn't answer our questions (whether a sandwich was hot or cold, if they had a happy hour, etc.). The times he did offer answers, he followed them up with "I believe" and didn't go find out the correct answer unless we asked. I said several times during the meal that I would consider coming back after they'd been open several months. I think the space has potential, but they need to iron out some wrinkles first. read more

Nice ambience, the decor fits a casual down to earth vibe. I had the roast beef sandwich and my wife had a wrap. There are several fries choices as well. Very delicious. They also have a terrific bar and many brews options. The server is super friendly as well! Thanks and we'll be back! read more

I really want to give this place more stars because it is obvious that the owner put a lot of money and work into this place but the overall experience wasn't the best. The place was really loud, we could barely hear our server and had to ask him to repeat himself multiple times. Also, the menu wasn't anything special. I could go a restaurant down the street and find the same menu items but have a more relaxing experience. There wasn't anything on the menu that I was eager to try but I got the Mac and cheese because the server recommended it. It was really good, kind of a small portion though. My fiance got a burger and waffle fries, the burger was okay, nothing special but the fries were good and crispy. read more

I was very excited to be able to try the newest place in Salem, only to be very disappointed. The environment was very cute, well decorated and clean which lead me to think the food would be amazing. I asked about the "grilled" Caesar salad (warmed lettuce) and was told I could get the cold option so I did. I also paid $4 for chicken and when I got the salad, the chicken was TOTALLY bland and had no flavor. The portion was good, but it really was killed by the gross chicken. I also ordered a raspberry lemon drop pretty good which is why they have the 2 stars. I won't be coming back unfortunately, there's too many other new restaurants being developed in Salem that I'm excited to try or go back too. read more

Our fist experience here was less than stellar, but I'm hoping it is just due the fact that it's a new place and they need to get their kinks worked out. It took FOREVER. It was just over two and half hours from the time we walked in the door to the time we paid our bill. We called and made a reservation, which they did not have record of. No big deal we put our name on the the list to wait the estimated 45 minutes, and told the hostess we would be at the bar. After 55 minutes we went up to the server to check and see where we were, and she said annoyed "I called you 10 minutes ago!" We had been sitting there waiting and heard not a thing. She got us seated a few minutes after that. The bartender was working his butt off, and made excellent cocktails! Service was not great...slow, servers were unable to answer simple questions about the menu and didn't offer to find out. We put our drink order in when we were seated and they didn't arrive until well after our dinner had been delivered (which also took a while). The kitchen staff looked like they were working their tails off and were very efficient. We had a group of 5, and all of us loved our dinner. The food was all GREAT. We all agreed we'd be willing to give it another try down the road, but their first impression with us left much to be desired. read more

Masonry Grill - Burgers Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Masonry Grill has a beautiful space and nice layout. It's a good looking little grill. It has so much potential... but my experience sucked. It's noisy. You need to find your outdoor voice to talk to the person next to you. For a place that spent so much on making the restaurant look nice, its odd to me they didn't think about sound. The food is slightly below average American food. The kicker though, the service is so bad, its hit or miss if you will get your food in time for your hour long lunch break. read more

I love their lasagna. I expect the rest of the menu is good but I wouldn't know. Lasagna every time and I always ask for more garlic bread. It's the best! read more

Delicious food! We've had quite a few things off the menu and each one has been fantastic! Would recommend!

Stopped in passing by as I'd been looking forward to trying this new place. What a great find! Everything was fresh and delicious. The menu is limited for now but they do a great job with the things we tried. Bleu Burger and Caesar salad are both the best in Salem. read more

This place would be 5 stars if they had the wait staff to support the insanely good food! We waited for a table but food was worth the wait. I ordered the bbq ribs with Mac & coslaw - soooooooo good! Would give bbq joints down in Texas a run for the money on that dish. My mom got the grilled Cesar salad which was well appointed and would also be recommended. Drinks choices also give stars. read more

Incredible is the only word I can think of to describe the food at Masonry Grill! Went for Valentine's Day with my husband and another couple and had the best time! We had a few appetizers (I think I've tried them all by now) and cocktails (favorites are the Drops and the Smoked Old Fashion) we all ended up ordering the V-Day Special which was an 8oz Fillet cooked to perfection as each person ordered it. The mashed potatoes/asparagus and peppercorn sauce made me want to ignore the table and eat with my eyes closed! The whole table said the steaks were better than any steaks we've had in the Valley. Tiramisu was the dessert special it did not disappoint. Reminded me of one I had experienced in Italy! I really hope this special makes it onto the every day menu. Can't wait to go back and try more of The Masonry menu. read more

Had a fairly average dining experience. Friend and I split a burger and a cobb like salad. Burger was really good!! Overall ambience was loud and our waiter wasn't super attentive. Women's bathroom was clean, but required a staff member to let us in because code thing wasn't working. Nothing too amazing, but I would go back. read more

Positives first! The wait staff were great! Beer was cold and the calamari was very good. Now for the negative. My Buddy and I both ordered the classic burger. Mine was medium rare and his was medium well. Both burgers were dry and way over salted! Definitely will be back to try something different! read more

We loved the Mansory Grill. Our waitress Alexis, was friendly, attentive & helpful. I had the Classic burger and it was tasty & my boyfriend had the Guac burger. He also loved it, the guac was fresh & the small chips gave it a delicious crunchy taste. Ps. We highly recommend the waffle fries with the buffalo blue cheese dressing. read more

So happy I came to opening night! The food was amazing! First started off with the Masonry Margarita while we waited for a table. It was delicious! Once we were seated at the table we ordered two appetizers Fried Brussels sprouts"with red onion,lime,and bacon" and also Trio of cakes "crab, zucchini,and black bean" by far the crab cakes were the best tasted so fresh! But all three were delicious. Capelinn Pomodoro was ordered and was delicious and we also ordered the smoked ribs with Mac and cheese and waffle fries. Now ribs are one thing that really am hard to judge on. But they were good and the bbq sauce was delicious. I already have plans to be back very soon to try out some more food! Definitely recommend this place. The food and drinks are delicious! Nice work on grand opening night! read more

Masonry Grill - Scanning menu outdoor dining - Burgers Near Me - Salem, Oregon

A very neat place to dine with a very pleasant atmosphere and a gorgeous bar. All of the smash burgers are fun and tasty and the choice of potato sides are all good. If you are looking for something more calorie/ carb friendly the Cobb salad is excellent. I've always had excellent service here. Friends that I have taken here have always enjoyed it. read more

We ate here on one of its first days open, so I plan to return and hope to find that they can earn 5 stars next time because it is a cool environment that could really set them apart in Salem! The seating was okay, the service was slow and the food, while it seemed lIke it would be good, was just average. This is the reason it received average stars. The parking was easy. read more

I wish we could give 1 star My chicken and vegetables were burnt and my husbands burger was covered velveeta and wilted lettuce. The server was in the kitchen talking to the cooks the entire time rather than checking on his tables. And the tab was $60 for bad food and bad service. We would not recommend it come back. read more

Went here with my wife for lunch. I got a Philly that's as close to the real thing as I've had for a while. Wife damn near had an orgasm over the caesar salad Harry Met Sally style. The menu is smaller than expected but it's really good. The quality is unquestionable. Whoever is in the kitchen has an honest passion for food and making each bite just right. You're not going to find some crazy combination or off the wall creativity. You're just gonna get the best salad/ philly/ pasta you've had in a long time. read more

Service was good. Ambiance was nice. The food was a disappointment, honestly we probably wont be back unless it's for a drink at the bar or somethin. The three of us ordered burgers and they were pretty sad looking compared to the photos on Yelp. All three of our burgers had one tomato slice and we had to pick it off because of the hard middle. Not impressed food wise. read more

Had lunch and drinks with friends. Clean and nice inside. Food was pretty good. Drinks a little weak. The service was with no problems. The seating however was uncomfortable, chairs look nice but are rock hard to sit in. Bathroom outside restaurant. read more

The service is excellent. I love the ambiance. It is refreshing to go to a restaurant that is not a tap house! The menu choices are good. We had the pretzel and mustard sauce appetizer. The smash burger is the best one that I have had. It had lots of flavor and it was very juicy. The lasagne is not what I am used to but it was tasty. I will definitely be back to taser other items on the menu. read more

Waited an hour for an ice cold burger and when i tried to send it back without ordering another entree (because we had to get to a movie) the waitress told me it will still be on my bill. Very strange experience . read more

Photos of this place were more tantalizing than the actual food. When the waiter finally showed up we found him to be quite nice and efficient. Menu has quite a few options but the food was just ok. There was so much sauce on the chicken burger that there was no way you were going to finish this with the bun intact. Agree with Paige, the salt level in the wrap was like "holy poop!" I think this would be a better bar than a restaurant. I might come back sit at the bar and only get a drink and a pupu at a window seat. Oh, and if you dont get a parking place on the street be ready to pay some obnoxious parking company $3 bucks /hr to park in the lot. Dont even get me started on trying to park downtown anymore!! read more
