    Truly the best chai I've ever had! Started our very wet and cold hike here (trail of ten falls is also well worth your time) service was quick, and it looked like there was a restaurant as well. We didn't stop for long but was unbelievably cute!

    South Falls Cafe - Turkey sandwich

    We decided to give the cafe a go after our hike. Pretty great to have a few options right there, and they actually had a bigger variety than we'd expected to find. The place is great, some nicely spaced indoor seating as well as a large deck of picnic tables. They have counter service at one end, and pickup at the other end of the dining room. We ordered a burger and a Turkey sandwich with fries and sodas. Our lunch was ready pretty fast, and the portions decent. The burger was okay, not the most flavorful but a hearty patty. The Turkey sandwich was nice though, good flavor and a tasty focaccia bun. Our fries and sweet potato fries were good, pretty typical. While I wouldn't say the food was exceptional, the place is great for a state park cafe. Perfect location for a bite after hiking, a cozy interior with a roaring fire, and plenty of food options.

    Great food and great service for a State Park. It's like elevated snack bar food. Ordered (4) chicken tenders and fries with a cookie, which came out to just north of $11. The chicken tenders and fries portion wasn't terribly big, but the flavor and quality were very good. Both were crispy, which totally makes good fried food. The cookie was a bit average, but I can't complain for being off the beaten track. I would definitely come back after a hike for a quick bite. I'd love to try the burgers! Also, they have a legit espresso machine, which I'd be happy to partake of if I hadn't already had my caffeine fix. Seating is pretty plentiful if you include the outdoor seating and there are two single restrooms inside with more a small walk down the trail. Love the fireplace. The man behind the main stand was very graceful with a family whose child had dropped her got chocolate. Quickly cleaned up the spill and got them a new cup while cracking jokes. I love that.

    I love Reuben sandwiches. When I go to a restaurant/café and they have a legit looking Ruben sandwich I order it. This place has one of the best Ruben sandwiches I've ever had. Combine it with very friendly service and some of the most beautiful scenery in the world and you have a home run.

    Fireplace on too keep the weary hiker warm after hiking in the rain

    After doing the Trail of 10 Falls, I was hungry, wet and weary. I walk into the South Falls Café and was greeted by a warm fireplace and the delicious smell of food. I couldn't make up my mind and asked the gentleman at the register. He was super helpful and suggested the burger.. house special. It was so yummy.. crispy lettuce, fresh cut tomato, pickles.. and bacon . The bread was soft and the meat flavorful. The fries were crispy and hit the spot. The warmth of the fireplace, the deliciousness of the food and the excellent service of the cafe made my experience wonderful.

    Came to South Falls for a hike and we were surprised to see there was a little cafe! Caprese panini was awesome, as well as the crispiest fries. They also gave me treats to give my dog. Very cute& friendly! We meant to take photos but we forgot to before chowing down, haha.

    Outside seating.

    What a fabulous addition to Molalla's eating-out choices! I've been here several times before today…read moreand each time the food has been excellent. Flavorful and delicious, Fire Foods delivers the best in Asian food here in Molalla. I haven't had their burgers yet but after reading the reviews here, I'm thinking I need to try one! In any event, with the cold grey day we are having today, a bowl of hot ramen soup was the perfect thing to send the overcast blues flying out the window. Today, I had the Veggie Ramen Soup with shrimp & egg along with a cup of jasmine flower tea. The bowl of soup was so big I had to ask for a container to take home what I couldn't eat at lunch. With big huge shrimps and a perfectly poached egg, the noodles and veggies (broccoli, cabbage, bean sprouts, carrots, onions, bok choy) hit the spot. The broth was delicious with the perfect amount of spiciness - my lips were tingling with the heat! (Tip: I asked for a "1" on the spiciness chart and it was spicy. I think it might have actually been a "2" because it was spicy! I like my food spicy but if you don't, maybe ask for a "0".) Ordering is accomplished at the counter, which is on the left when you enter the front door. When I said I needed some soup for a chilly day, the man who took my order suggested the Veggie Ramen. He then asked if I wanted to add anything to it and I requested chicken, although I got those huge beautiful shrimp. (I'll be asking for those shrimp from now on!) Prices are comparable to or less than any other place these days - veggie ramen soup was $12 and the pot of tea that I got at least 3 mugfuls out of was $2.50. Add-ons to the soup like chicken, beef or shrimp are an additional couple of bucks. All decked out for the holidays, my favorite decoration was the Grinch Christmas Tree! Fun and festive! I'll be going back soon - maybe to try a burger but I love their Asian food so it might be hard to choose.

    So this place was a huge, huge letdown. I expected this to be a decent restaurant being that it was…read moreat a nice golf course, but I was highly mistaken. This place was horrible and it looked like the guys running the place we're more interested in trying to look like golfers than actually knowing how to run a restaurant. The waitress was great, but the manager has absolutely no customer service and is a complete moron not to mention this is some of the worst food I've ever had and they told us this was their new menu that was just put out, big disappointment probably never go back especially after the complete lack of service follow up or respect by the manager. My fish was so battered that the dough was completely raw on the inside. I wish I would've taken a picture of how much dough I picked off and left on my plate and how much fish was actually inside the fillet this was my birthday dinner and when my aunt had made the comment about how bad my fish was and it wasn't the same as what they had had before he reassured her oh it was no and this must've just been a one time fluke then he asked well you haven't paid your bill yet have you then he disappeared never to return or take it off the bill say bringing it up like you may take it off the bill and not doing it is even worse than not doing it at all. This guy is a real joke. And seemed like he was in a real hurry to get out of there so he could sit and drink by the fire outside with some people say I hate to call out all Molalla people but this seems to be the normal out here and I'm really disappointed and disgusted by the lack of people skills for a small town and the effort people put in out here

    Lunch for a 36 day…read more 4.7 Chrispy Chicken Salad (but I replaced the chicken with Salmon) Don't just come for golf, the food here really is worthwhile to have. They have a big menu, good price, and big portion. Normally a normal salmon salad would cost over $17, but here it's even less then $16 ! Chips were crisy. Veggies were fresh. The salmon was definitely worth the extra few dollars
