Discouraging experience @ Brother's Cafe in Drain, OR. I will not be a returning customer…read more We were excited to eat breakfast at a place we've never tried before in this small town, especially because it's locally owned and had two 5 star reviews. I called ahead to make sure they were open and they said they'd be open till 3pm for breakfast and brunch. We arrived @ 11am and were hungry for breakfast. This is a small town known for being a timber community, so we weren't expecting anything fancy, just a good traditional American breakfast. The restaurant itself seemed old and tired. The grime stuck on our table top had been there for a while, you could tell it hadn't been properly cleaned for at least a couple days, at least. (While writing this review, after the fact: I should have noticed the Health Score, listed on their Yelp page. You'd think they would actually deep clean, sanitize, and thoroughly go through their inventory after getting detailed feedback like that...) We were patient, not in a rush at all, just in need of some good food. The laminated menus were sticky. Our coffee was weak. I ordered a veggie skillet with sourdough toast. Our waitress asked how I'd like my eggs, which surprised me, so I said over-medium. I received scrambled eggs with lots of cheese and a scarce supply of veggies over potatoes, with a side of plain white toast. I was also served spoiled blackberry jam. I was told the Brother's Skillet was 'better than Denny's' so that doesn't say much... Ugh... overall it made me feel grossed out, sad, and disappointed.

We rode our bikes with our friends into Cottage Grove from Baker Bay Campground at Dorena Lake…read more Great ride! Our friend Dan chose Jack Sprat's. We sat outside at a sidewalk table. The menu has pretty good variety. I ordered the Stuffed Poblano. The description looked like it was missing something so I ordered cheese to go on it. Flavor-wise it was ok. The chicken wasn't seasoned very well. There was a huge amount of sweet potato cubes with it. I like sweet potatoes but it was just too much and overpowered the dish. The temperature of my food wasn't hot but just warm...was it sitting around on the pass too long? I didn't like that but I didn't go to the trouble of sending it back. My husband got the Beans and Rice with the chicken breast on top, like what came on mine. He liked his well enough. Our other friend is a wanna-be-healthy guy and a vegetarian so he got Trust Your Gut. It had avacado, sauerkraut, tempeh, and...I don't know what else. You can scrutinize the picture if you want. He liked his. But since I'm the one giving the star rating, I'm giving it a 3. If we are ever in Cottage Grove again I want to try somewhere else.

The salad was mostly healthy salad with cucumber nicely placed around the edge of the bowl. The chicken tender was fried perfectly crunchy and flavorful. I wasn't fond of either the Italian dressing or their honey mustard so next time I'll just get a lemon. Food and Service was good. I would definitely go back if I was in the area.

I hope others have a better experience than we did.

Not greasy and not dried out. Just enough for the 3 of us to get our taste buds going. The elk burger was so tasty and juicy with a flavor that left us craving more. Medium rare with added avocado was the perfect mix. The burger was not so filling that you got the after burger taste and wouldn't have room for anything else. The Marionberry Crisp topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream was enough for us to share at the end as well. Headed up perfectly and delicious! The service was great and the wait time was not long to get a table. Outdoor seating is also available and the inside keeps it nice and cozy for small parties or the occasional big family feasts. We'll definitely stop back here again!

I asked if we could move one table over 3 feet and the server said "I'll figure it out" Her attitude was unprofessional and just rude! She acted like we were the problem and the 6 of us just left. Why do employees act like they are entitled to being jerks. The restaurant lost out on some income due to a server that did nothing to accommodate patrons. We loved the food but never again! She need training and manners Ownership beware, there are many choices for food in town. No matter how good your food is the service is more important

Here's a polished version that keeps your voice but adds a little sparkle:…read more Papa Morgan's is exactly the kind of place we love stumbling across -- a cozy little hole-in-the-wall that just feels right the moment you walk in. We were seated immediately, and our coffee and waters showed up almost instantly (always a great sign ). The place is a bit dated, but in a charming, homey way. I actually loved it -- cute decor and even a small jewelry area to browse while you wait... although "wait" might not even be the right word because the food comes out fast! My husband went with the chicken fried steak, and I ordered French toast from the light menu. We usually split a meal, but today we leaned into both sweet and savory -- and I'm glad we did. Everything was delicious, no complaints at all. Service was quick, friendly, and on point. Our coffee cups never hit empty, which honestly deserves its own gold star. Would I return? Absolutely. This is one of those spots that feels like a local favorite for a reason -- and now it's one of ours too.
