Let's start this off by saying the service was good. The food however was just barely ok. The prime…read morerib was tough. The 18 oz ribeye was cooked to perfection, really good. The Rocky Mountain oysters were way over cooked but good flavor. The salad was way under par with croutons that were hard and tomatoes that were slightly wilted and a hair in my wife's salad. Very underwhelming for a meal, with tip, of almost $200 for 2 people.

I got there at 3:50 pm. Ten minutes before lunch was over. And during their happy hour (several…read moremeals as well as drinks to choose from). The Sirloin with 2 sides is only around $13 compared with almost double that on the dinner menu. Good specials on drinks too. Summer took great care of me. She's excellent. Even though baked potatoes aren't supposed to be ready that early she got me one. I got the lunch rib plate, which is a huge beef rib (although a little smaller than it used to be). It was mostly meat and not much fat. Way too much for me to eat, it provided lunch the next day as well. I brought home a burger to my wife, which was also cooked perfectly. It's a fun old-fashioned place to go to. Lots of animal heads on the walls and cowboy type things. This is in the old Sizzler right off the freeway and just into Oregon. They are owned by the same people as Indian Creek steak in Caldwell. Happy hour and lunch prices are very good, dinner prices can easily be $50 or more. their happy hour runs until 6 o'clock every day, which is great.

Bert's is a must-visit anytime I'm in the area. The drinks are consistently great, and the menu has…read moreenough variety that everyone in your group will find something they love. The owner is often there and somehow seems to know almost every regular by name - it gives the place a true family-run feel that's hard to fake. The food is delicious, and the atmosphere is pure, nostalgic Americana. The old-garage aesthetic is done right, and the vintage cars that make regular appearances inside the bar add a seriously cool touch you don't see anywhere else. The staff is always friendly, and there's plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors, so it works just as well for a casual pint with a friend as it does for a larger get-together or event. If you're into it, there are also casino machines on-site for a little extra entertainment. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Bert's is absolutely worth the stop.

But...the basement bar keeps the grill open until 1 a.m. Service was excellent, polite, friendly, helpful. They have a good Non-Alcoholic beer selection. We each got a Guinness NA. We ordered a steak sandwich with tater tos, adding a side salad. The tots were crispy golden. The salad was fresh, crouton-y with fresh tiny tomatoes, cucumber and grated cheeses. The sandwich pickle slice was crispy, the sandwich good. Will we return? Next time we visit Ontario before 8 p.m.

I told em' I should get a free hat much as I tell my pals ta go eat in da joint. The babe waiting on us couldn't do it .. don't matter I'll eat here when I pass thru Ontario anyhow. The Irish Red ain't bad if yas has a driver. (It's way way good!) But on the side a this and almost as important as da food is the servers here. Never been one that was anything less than absolutely professional, got my order right and was cordial and warm. Every dang time! This is no bunk. I am happy to part with some a my cabbage here. If yer drifting through Ontario Oregon it's duck soup to pull the ol' boiler off the hiway for an hour or so, gas up, and fill yer ownself up at Mackey's at the same time. I never had anything I didn't like off the menu. Look around when yer in dis joint. Might see Hammer and a couple of his brothers sucking down a lil' grub, you nevah know. Even if yas don't there's good folks here and good company. OK, I'm done chinning.

Unless you want to wait 50 minutes to get RECOGNIZED, then go here otherwise do NOT WASTE your time going here. The food is mediocre at BEST, the head bar tender literally tried serving people who came after us and when we looked at her she realized she forgot about us and came to help. Whist sitting there, there were TWO OTHER PEOPLE WHO WALKED OUT bc they were tired of waiting on her bc she clearly could give two craps about non local people. There were people sitting next to us who she clearly knew who she tended to like they were the owners (which they weren't, they were just a bunch of locals talking crap about everyone in the bar. To say this was a DISGUSTING experience, that's being kind. NEVER again

Mr. Steve and I are travelin' down 84 and pull off in Ontario, Oregon. After tetherin' Steve, I…read morefind myself walkin' along the vacant sidewalks of dusty, downtown Ontario on a searing and tortured Sunday, 1pm. Carl, I tell you, the soles on my boots was beginnin' to liquefy and I needed shelter, or perhaps vodka. The Spuds-N-Suds Tavern, while terribly named, is the place (in Ontario) to put a bullet into the afternoon with cheap libation and cheerful chatter from the barstaff. What makes Spuds heaps better than the local competition, however, is that it falls into the always intriguing (in my mind, at least) category of hipster/divebar..minus the hipsters, of course; that tribe congregates in a couple of holes down Boise way. An inauspicious entrance with an old air conditionin' unit dangling precariously over the front door led into a pleasantly dilapidated cafe which in turn led into the bar. The bar itself was small but tucked into two fairly large rooms that contained the usual collection of huddled locals at video poker games, seemingly hired by Central Casting to man the stools. But the bar itself was comfy, glasses of ice tinkled, a stereo sputtered Dolly Parton, and the lulling smell of cooked onions wafted through the room on a deep fried breeze. A lone, middle aged Indian woman sat at the bar, nursing a can and I could make out the warble of a drunken old galoot yellin' incoherencies in the adjoining cafe. Ahhh..home for the next three hours. I picked a perch, ordered the first of many, and relaxed as the sweat dried on my lower back. I wish you was here, Carl, you'd like it here. For a time, I sat and enjoyed the banter - folks here are real nice and the conversation was the perfect counterpoint to the vodka buzz that was creepin' up from my belly. Yeah, time to see what they'd come up with in that funky cafe up front. French fries are mandatory here..they didn't disappoint, and the chicken sandwich was strangely good (after five vodka tonics.) A lovely young bartender can give you a bit on Basque culture - she's half. But it's the atmosphere that makes this joint a great distraction on I-84. Carl, if you're like this cowboy, and welcome the wonderful calm that comes from sittin' in a cool and quiet tavern on an early Sunday afternoon, you can do no better (in Ontario) than Spuds N' Suds.
