I came here with a friend on Saturday for Memorial Day weekend. Man it was packed, and they only…read morehad two servers!! Both servers were SO friendly and did such a good job despite being understaffed. Our server had a purple shirt who had the most amazing attitude and was so friendly! The food was great! The small Caesar salad could've easily passed for a large. Well worth the $9. Nice homade croutons and I loved the big chunks of Parmesan. The spinach artichoke dip was SO good!! Bread was toasted perfectly. However some of the Chips were so salty and inedible The wildcat burger was perfectly spicy, not too much spice at all! So well balanced. Just what we needed. We sat outside which was so nice because the inside was packed and super loud. Would definitely come here again!

So much seating inside or out! Bring a crowd! The seating outside is mostly shaded so don't let…read morethe heat deter you from enjoying the summer weather. I drank a mango peach cider that was a perfect blend of fruit and slightly sweet. An oriental chicken salad was $19.00 and portion large enough to share. A chicken sandwich was also $19.00 plus $2.00 for sweet potato fries. The fry sauce was ketchup and mayo, I'd skip it. It wasn't busy for a Thursday afternoon so no waiting. The service was 10/10!

Great first visit to Golden Valley…read more We only had cocktails on the patio, which was incredibly well maintained. All of the shrubs are trimmed, and the flowers are beautiful. We were meeting friends in 45 minutes, so this was the perfect stop. Destiny was our server, and she is the type server that you wish would be all restaurants. She has been at this site, the baby of the company, for 8 1/2 years, and it is evident. She knows the concept, the menu and made our experience one that I want to come back for the dinner menu. She was extremely friendly and engaging as well. Thanks Destiny, and Golden Valley for providing the perfect visit.

This is your classic dive bar/diner with video poker in the back. They do breakfast and onion rings…read morewell but that's about it. I ordered a garden salad which turned out to be just a plate of pink tinged romaine lettuce and a plastic cup of ranch dressing. For $6 I expect better. I do appreciate that they took it off my bill.

Blue Moon has become our go-to for variety and affordable dining out. The iconic lounge can't be…read moremissed, with its large lighted neon sign decorating 3rd Street--it's basically a lighthouse for hungry adults. The atmosphere is definitely "loungy," but clean and warm. The lighting is low (perfect for hiding how much we eat) and the big tufted leather (faux, not sure, but very comfy) booths are great. Service is friendly and prompt, and if you are a regular you get an even friendlier greeting, like Norm from Cheers. We keep hoping someone will yell our name when we walk in, but so far, no luck. Lately, we opt for the bar countertop, which is harder to score than a winning lottery ticket on most nights at prime dinner time. This night, Noah was our server. He is always friendly and a genuinely nice person. Tonight, we heard about his vacation trip to see his grandmother in New Zealand--we were so engrossed we almost forgot to order our food! It amazes me how incredibly busy this bar restaurant is--full to the brim--and the staff (typically 2 servers/bartenders and 2 cooks) manage to stay friendly, tell stories, and never miss an order, check, or payout of a lottery ticket. Most nights when we go it's just Hailee working. How Hailee handles THE WHOLE BAR by herself is incredible to witness; we think she might be a magician. We love Noah, but Hailee is our favorite. The food is excellent; you can order anything on the menu and it will be good. We love the Grilled Cheese and Tomato Sandwich (sub soup, didn't know it was a $3 adder--my wallet had a mild heart attack, but it was worth it). The sandwich cost $10 and typically comes with a generous portion of fries or tots. The clam chowder was delicious, savory with lots of clams. The sandwich has a lot of gooey American cheese and the tomato slices are fresh and juicy; this meal is an incredible value at $10. We also love their club sandwich: turkey, bacon, tomato, lettuce, and cheese on toasted sourdough, $14, served with a generous portion of fries or tots. This lounge is for adults only (sorry, kids, no tots for you here) and a cash-only establishment (so hit the ATM first, unless you want to wash dishes). Blue Moon is a local favorite and is doing a wonderful job keeping the prices reasonable for a blue-collar community in a "bougie" neighborhood. If you're visiting McMinnville, stay away--this place is for locals only (kidding, not kidding). It's a five-star experience without the five-star prices.

Oh man!! We are adding this place to our rotation for sure. We came here to celebrate our four year…read moreanniversary and were not disappointed!! We got two pizzas and a Caesar salad. At first we thought they accidentally gave us the large but the small is just a great size!! The crust is well seasoned, and the marinara is SO good. You can tell they make their sauce.

They also do beer flights!

Good experience yesterday at Two Dogs Taphouse. We had been to the McMinnville Wine and Food…read moreClassic and wanted a pub-style dining experience. This was it. It is understandable that they have garnered 4 stars overall, as it was good...for what it is. The flow of customers kept coming in thru out our entire visit. My vegetarian wife had the Hummus and Flatbread which she enjoyed thoroughly. I had the Patty Melt. It was good...but it was not a traditional Patty Melt. Served on sourdough versus rye, and it had dijonaise? It needed more. The grilled sourdough needed more grilling as well. The accompanying fresh cut french fries were great. You order at the counter, and host, Ryan was quite friendly and knowledgeable. My wife had the recommended Boneyard RPM and she loved it. I stuck to Sierra Mist after the wine. We did see someone giving "pleasure" to someone else outside in a car. Not a great sight while eating. Good experience, not great...but I will still come back.

They have some seriously delicious sandwiches, and I've tried a variety of them, but my go-to is always the Reuben. It never disappoints! The staff is always super friendly, which makes the experience even better. And they have a really nice patio right next to the river, making it such a great spot to sit, eat, and enjoy the scenery. If you're in Silverton and looking for a good sandwich, definitely stop by Mac's Place!

Partner and I came to town for an anniversary trip and Mac's was one of the few places open late…read moreenough for us when we got to town after 8pm. Vibes were good, bartender/server was friendly. Reviews made it seem divey but lights weren't turned down low enough for to meet that criteria imo. A bit too cold/wet for us to eat/drink outside but sounds like that might be the place to be on a nicer nite. Menu was pretty extensive for the bar, maybe a bit pricey for what you get -- but the $2 draft beers on Thursday nites was a good deal that made up for that pretty well. I thought my turkey reuben was great; husband liked his steak wrap too (as seen in other reviews' photos comes out on a plate completely unadorned) and ate a bunch of my cajun fries. There was basketball on TV, a pool table, music. All in all a good place to start the vacation and enjoy a decent welcome to town.
