Great local place in a Carlton. Their Food, drinks, and service never disappoint. The owner is especially kind and attentive.

No issue getting a table on a Saturday evening. Loved everything we had from super-cold tap water on the table from start, the wonderful Oregon Pinot Noir (owner's estate), Brussels sprouts, crab cakes, and my personal favorite Shells w/cheese (add the bacon!). No room for dessert. read more

Where do all the locals go? 4th star for the local friendliness, ambiance and true local service. food ok. price ok. location ok. We stopped in for lunch on our way to another winery. I call that fueling up with food please! I had the tomato soup/grilled cheese sandwich combo. OK, I admit! The grilled cheese sandwich was pretty darned good! Located on the main street and parking was available. We got to stroll the main street after lunch and prior to hitting the road to our next stop. read more

The bread on the sandwiches is spectacular! It's not sour and it's soft so it pairs perfectly with all of the options. The salad is also light and perfectly balanced. The restaurant is large and clean. No complaints! read more

I very much enjoyed the pastrami sandwich. Best pastrami sandwich in recent memory, actually. Friendly service in a fun spot.

It's been a while since I had tried the horse radish so a friend and I decided to give them a try. I had the creamy tomato soup and small ceasar salad. The soup wasn't creamy but it was ok. The salad was great, loved the capers. My friend ordered the pastrami sandwich with no pickles or sauerkraut and mustard on the side, the sandwich came out with all of this. When we said something to the waitress she brushed it off and didn't bring a new sandwich out. When she brought the check she told us she took off the $3 fries for the mess up. Maybe I'm old school but if you bring something out wrong you fix it. It was very disappointing. read more

I am not a big sandwich eater but took a chance and ordered one on the suggestion of our limo driver. Oh my goodness ... this was the best sandwich I've ever had. Crispy bread, savory flavors, so much yummy-ness. Felt a little uncomfortable eating it in front of our wine tasting host at Ayers Vineyard but it was just too good to stop. read more

Its in the heart of Carlton. You're not here for the hustle and bustle. Youre here to get away from that. Slow down. Time is running at a different pace here. You can walk the town in a couple minutes but you will have missed it all if you do. Window shop in each store. Go in. Check it out. Now your at the pace for eating in Carlton. The food here is made to order so it may take a minute or two. Enjoy yourself. Your on the middle of all the action here and it will come in and join you here if you let it. Seems like a home kitchen with care and skill. Making your own potatoes chips is a sign of caring. Just saying. Its good food at a little bit of the wine country tax price. There is an extra charge currently for using a credit card. My guess is you will not be carrying enough cash because if you are you're buying wine with that. So be prepared. Its a cute open restaurant. Wood table tops carved out of the tree. The locals seem to be getting orders to go. So you know it's good. A recommended stop on your visit. Make it again and try the next one down. Its a cut town full of artistic chefs read more

I love supporting small businesses, and the hidden gem in Carlton, is a must-visit on your next Oregon wine country adventure. Famously delicious lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch served fresh with regionally sourced ingredients, local Willamette Valley wine, cocktails, and beer, as well as live music on Saturdays. Not to be missed! read more

I always try to find a way to stop into Horse Radish when I'm out wine tasting. Their sandwiches always make the perfect pairing to the days adventures. Every sandwich I've ordered has had fresh ingredients and the perfect crisp on the bread that's required for a hot sandwich. They have super friendly staff and have such fun shopping and wine tasting right in that area! read more

A great place for fabulous food, wine & music. We came here for years for the pastrami sandwich - now only available at lunch! We more than made do with a house made carbonara and a perfectly cooked burger. Owner Julie was also our server-doesn't get any better. This is a new location - with a full kitchen and full bar. Marshall Davis wine is plentiful and the Syrah was a perfect match for our food. read more

After close to an hour of waiting, I asked about the status of when we'd get the plates & was told it's going to be about another 20 minutes. So after being there for about 1.5 hrs, we did get our plates. It was suggested to go there with good reviews. Not a place I'd return to when I come back to Oregon. read more

This was a fortunate choice for lunch today as we were traveling from the west coast of Oregon to eastern Oregon. Excellent , welcoming service and well prepared food and drinks. We ordered the green gimlet and the pear-fetch martini. Both were delicious. The four of us ordered a half sandwich and salad . It was plenty of food and everything was great. I highly recommend this charming dining spot. read more

We were going to an apt and looking for a place to grab a quick bite for lunch and came across this place. It was 4 adults and we were seated quickly as it was a Sunday early afternoon. Our drink & food order was taken and we didn't have to wait long for our food (although our drinks took a little longer because of the bigger party that had come in prior to our arrival). The food was good - the BLT was toasted very well and bacon crisp; Grilled Cheese had a number of cheeses but the special (tomato soup) soup was okay. Overall it's a beautiful place & service was attentive. Would highly recommend stopping by for a bite if you are in the area. read more

The baked brie was amazing. Their portions were enough to bring leftovers home for another lunch.

A charming restaurant that matches the charm of the quaint town it resides in. We went there during the meltdown, and true to small town expectations, I ran into people I knew. They recommended getting the Melt Down, which is part of a fundraiser sponsored by YCAP. The featured Melt Down, was a french onion soup grilled cheese sandwich. Yikes, was it delicious! I hope they consider making it a staple on the menu as I would drive the 45 minutes just for this sandwich. To keep with the cheese, we started with a warm brie cranberry drip, which was equally delicious. read more

I go to the Horse Radish when I'm in the Yamhill-Carlton area. I've seen a few changes through the years. As I read the reviews, I realized I've experienced some of the same concerns, but, never voiced them. Carrie doesn't seem to connect with the customers....she gets the orders, delivers the food, but there's a distant coolness in her demeaner. It's not a show-stopper, but we did hear hear a couple beside our table grumbling about her lack of interaction. read more

Super friendly staff, good drinks, and great vibes for the ambience. Food was just okay. Worth a try if you are undecided.

It was alright - I need to pay a few more visits, I guess. The staff is super friendly though. I did love the band! Live music is always appreciated read more

Once again, The Horse Radish came across with a great meal! I was hesitant to order the Horse Radish Dip because it came on a ciabatta roll. I was afraid the roll would be tough. Absolutely not! So glad I listened to my instincts and ordered it. The roll was tender and the sandwich was superb. A cup of delicious tomato soup and a glass of local (next door!), wine made for a fabulous pre-holiday lunch. I'm pretty sure that lunch saved me at least $100 at my subsequent trip to Carlton Farms because I didn't go hungry! In girl math, I just made some serious dough! read more

Great food great service! Definitely was loud due to a bus full of people there. But the food was great, I have a Turkey and bacon and pesto sandwich and loved it and will definitely be back! read more

My tummy hadn't been feeling well, so I got the grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup for lunch and it was perfect!! the tomato soup was very flavorful with just the right amount of heat and the grilled cheese sandwich was nice and thick not one of those flat pancake looking grilled cheese sandwiches that you get everywhere else!! service was great. The staff were very, very friendly. We sat at the window, which was perfect for watching people walking by. Carlton is lucky to have this gem!!! read more

I went here with my friends after a lovely wine tasting. My BBF did have to make a reservation. I got the pastrami sandwich and the others in my party got the turkey sandwich and the burger. I think the pastrami sandwich won- the pastrami was fresh and not too salty but the winner was the sauerkraut. The burger with bacon was overcooked and dry. I did taste the turkey. 3 sandwiches and an IPA total was $66.50 not including tip. read more

We have been here twice in the last 3 months and both times we have been very happy with both the food and the service and the Horse Radish. On our most recent visit on Easter Sunday, we went for brunch and sat outside on their patio. I got the eggs Benedict (substituted tomato for ham) and my husband for the roast beef sandwich with fries. Both our dishes came out quickly and they were both delicious. The Hollandaise sauce was refreshingly light, their side salad is amazing (cranberries, goat cheese, so yumm), and the fries were pretty good as well. Overall, the food was top notch. Next time you are in Carlton, pay the Horse Radish a visit for a meal and you will not be disappointed! read more

Enjoyed the live music but wouldn't return otherwise. The baked Brie was a very small serving and completely liquid (didn't appear to have the rind at all- just a small container of liquid Brie with the toppings). They had multiple cocktails on the menu made with various juices and flavorings; one was a berry lemonade cocktail so I asked if I could have one nonalcoholic and I was abruptly told "we don't make mocktails." Given I asked for something on the menu, that they clearly had available, and I'm 8.5 months pregnant, I was pretty surprised. I would've even taken a plain juice but she just stood there staring at me without offering any other suggestions. I got a soda since it was literally the only thing on the menu I could drink since they won't give a pregnant woman juice or lemonade... read more

I have been here several times over the last 5-6 yrs, and the lunch I had two days ago was terrible!! First off, it took over 45 mons to get our food. A couple that arrived AFTER us got served before we did (group of three)!! The grilled cheese was meh - a pitiful slice of Swiss? I had the pastrami. It was good, although the bread could have been more toasted and less greasy. The handful of fries (an "upgrade" from the chips the sandwich normally comes with) cost $3... waa-ah?? One friend had the "burger of the day" and said it was delicious. Bad service, mixed food results... Sadly, this was the last time I'll eat there. There's no reason to wait as long as we did for our meal. We'll be going to Park & Main from now on. read more

This is a must stop for my friends and I before an afternoon of wine tasting! Delicious sandwiches, my favorite is the Italian. The Brussels Sprouts & the Brie appetizer are a must. Service is always wonderful and personal. And if you have never been to one of their winemakers dinners you are seriously missing out! read more

I had this on a wine tour served for lunch and it did not disappoint. The sandwiches are delicious. The turkey sandwich was huge, fresh served with lots of yummy goodness. The tomato soup was a delight. It wasn't overwhelming, it was just right. I would go here again in traveling through. Support a small business, and give it a try. I promise you, you'll thank me! read more

Hate to day it, but don't remember what I got here. One of our group had the Frittata which they said was great and another had the Burger of the Day which the described as a weird combo. Looked at the menu online now and remember I got the Italian. It was OK, but when they say pressed I think of a Cuban sandwich which is hot and crispy. This was not crispy. read more

Great vibe, great food good draft beer. Stopped by for lunch and this was a fantastic find. Pastrami sandwich with tomato soup hit the spot on a rainy day. Definitely adding to my favorite places when we pass through again. Would like to try their dinner menu sometime - it looks pretty good also. read more

Wonderful lunch after a morning spent bopping around wine country! And as someone who wasn't drinking, I was particularly looking forward to my next meal. We were seated immediately by a friendly hostess and given menus to look over. Their lunch lineup is basically the picnic fare of my dreams. Hearty sandwiches, salads, chips & dips, charcuterie plates, hummus - all looked fabulous. My husband, friend and I shared the oh-so-decadent baked brie accompanied by fig jam, hazelnuts, and cranberries. Next up, I opted for an Italian combo with a side salad and both were absolutely excellent. The sandwich came with heaps of sopressata, genoa ham, hot coppa, provolone, spicy peppers and Italian dressing. And whereas some places might throw a measly handful of lettuce on the plate as an afterthought, this salad came was a delightful blend of mixed greens, goat cheese, dried cranberries & hazelnuts tossed in a fig balsamic vinaigrette. Total win all around. read more

We had reservations Saturday afternoon and were seated within a reasonable time of arriving. The hostess told us that someone would be there to take our order. In about ten minutes the server came and took our drink and food order.The drinks came right away and then we didn't see her again for 40 minutes. It took that long to get two grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup and baked Brie. I had had the sandwiches and soup before and was really looking forward to it. When we finally got our food after getting up and inquiring, the meal wasn't at all like I remembered. The bread was just plain white bread and the soup was just warm. The Brie was so soupy that you needed to eat it with a spoon. We asked for a box and the server never came back. We had to get up and ask for that, too. Going to try another restaurant in Carlton next time we are there. read more

Having seen this place for years, we were looking forward to trying it. Unfortunately, we were disappointed. The ambiance was weak - very sparse and cold feeling. Hard to hear each other (and I'm not old!) One person in our party was vegan and that was definitely a mistake. The brie appetizer was the smallest portion of cheese I have ever seen. The cookie dessert definitely needed ice cream, not whip cream. It was just not what I had hoped and expected. read more

Food was perfection. Waitstaff friendly and got everyone's order exactly right despite our little changes. Nice ambiance. 5 star so far. But we waited just over an hour for our lunch. We were there in a Saturday and it was fairly full so if we go back it will be mid week. read more

Food was good. Service was adequate. Communication was so poor that it ruined the meal. Came in figuring an hour would be enough to get a sandwich. I was wrong. Waited 10 min for someone to come introduce and take order. 45 min later I had to flag down the hostess to find out what was wrong. We eventually got our food, we had to eat a few bites and leave to get to our event, but it's never good to pay before your food even arrives. Yeah service wasn't great and it was pretty busy but the fact no one EVER apologized for the wait and explained why a Sandwich took an hour until it was too late is why I likely won't eat here again. Food was good but the experience was ruined. So much for a birthday lunch. Side note maybe if you're short staffed or really swamped you give customers a heads up. Instead all the tables had to ask what was happening. read more

The most unorganized morning; our group had reservations at 10:30 right at opening. 20 minutes to get drinks, 1 hour 20 minutes to get food which mostly arrived cold & the portions were less to be desired considering the cost. You would think on a holiday weekend at a place you have reservations the facility would be properly staffed since you were already serving a limited menu. Unfortunately, we will never be back & another brunch joint strikes out in the Yamhill County area! read more
