    Battered and fried prawns with baked potato and wonderful green beans.
    Susan S.

    Awesome! What a find in the little town of Sublimity, Oregon. From the outside it is something you might walk away from. DON'T!!! It's quaint inside. There was 4 of us and we all had something different. The BBQ pork rack was moist and tender and a lot of it. The fried oysters were perfect. I'm NOT an oyster eater, but tried one and I actually liked it. The chopped brisket was moist even though it was lean, and so good. The battered and fried shrimp were perfect too. We were there on a Sunday night and were pleasantly surprised with a Blue Grass band. It's just a group that gets together there every weekend. There were 8 or 9 of them and they were great. What an awesome place. It was a wonderful end to a perfect day.

    Strawberry stuffed French toast and biscuits and gravy!

    We were on our way back from Crater lake and stopped for the night in Sublimity. The next morning we were starving and read a review about the Wooden Nickle. I was apprehensive at having breakfast at a bar, but I was quickly proven wrong! Yummy! All of it! The coffee is strong and fresh! The stuffed strawberry French toast was to die for! The biscuits and gravy was like a southern grandma would make, the restrooms were clean and the service was great! Priced very reasonably! Will be our go to when traveling thru Oregon! Only con.. I noticed the Mimosa and Bloody Mary sat-Sun specials on my way out! If in Subliminal! Go!!

    Friendly local bar and restaurant. Great daily specials and amazing menu selections!! Service is friendly and fast, let us know what sauces were house made - definitely try them!!

    Pulled pork
    K E.

    Love this little spot in Stayton! Food quality was nice for the price and we felt like it was a great deal! $20 for the pulled pork meal and all the sides too. It was enough for two people, my friend and are were glad we shared! Friendly, quick service. We sat in the bar area and there were plenty of tables and everyone around us seemed to be enjoying their drinks and lunches too!

    Chef salad
    Kelley N.

    What a fantastic meal in Sublimity! This hidden gem is open during covid. Wear your mask, wait to be seated but come hungry! The food has always been fresh, hot, delicious and served in huge port. Only thing better than the food is the prompt, friendly and speedy service. Had some of the er best potato skin appetizers here tonight. A platter of 10 i think? After my first bite... heavenly... the rest were gone so quickly I couldn't snap a pic! Sister in law ordered the stroganoff. Brother in law the crispy chicken salad. Hubs ordered the chef salad and I had the chicken po'boy and tots. None of us could finish these huge portions of food. But we loved every bite. A special shout out to our server Ryanna. Forced to wesr a sweaty mask and try to shine in these conditions. , She was so friendly and courteous even in the face of this horrible situation. Attentive as hello, lots of giddy up with our extra requests and drink refills... She made our visit over the top spectacular and we thank her profusely!

    Chicken Nachos. Delicious!

They will take good care of you and happy you will be. Their food is great, even their sides are something to ge extra of and take home or back to your hotel. The pulled pork sandwich is our favorite. They have the best sauce too. We love their baked beans- home made- and their potato salad is super. Their jalapeno peppers are hot, but good. They often have live music outdoors and that is fun. They have a seafood fest on Friday, at least they did when we were there and it is so good and a great price. BBQ oysters are great as is the crab. There really is nothing not to like here.

It was the perfect spot for a casual evening out. We had a couple of drinks, a cider and a Japanese lager, and really enjoyed the atmosphere. The musician playing that night was fantastic! He had a great song selection, and his voice was hauntingly beautiful. I'm not a huge barbecue person because I prefer my meals to have a little more variety than just meat, but I did enjoy the brisket and the pork belly. The sides were just okay for me. I'm from the South, where we take our potato salad seriously, so I wasn't the biggest fan of theirs but I did really enjoy the beans and the corn salad. I'll definitely be back for the music, a drink, and the laid-back atmosphere. It's a great place for a casual evening out!

We went with 4 because the cost was a…read morelittle high (but everything is right!) and the baked beans were a little different than traditional baked beans but this is just a personal preference. We ordered one brisket sandwich combo and one pork sandwich combo. Each came with two sides but we only had 3 options so we both opted for baked beans, and then one coleslaw and one Mac n cheese. The owner graciously cut the sandwiches in half and put one half of each type in our containers so we didn't have to that ourselves. The food was hot, fresh, and a very large portion of meat. The brisket was very well seasoned. My husband loved it. For me it was a little too salty. The pork was perfect on every level! She actually knew how to season the coleslaw and that's something Oregon lacks!! Like I told the owner my only complaint is now my husband is going to be a regular there.

Maybe the best mac & cheese I've ever had. The coleslaw was also outstanding. Next time I'll just ask for a little more fire on the meat but I'll definitely stop again.

The building has a distinct, unpretentious feel. Inside, you'll find a dark, cozy dining area lined with long wooden picnic tables, string lights. The staff is very friendly and while we ate the owner stopped by several times to make sure we were happy. We ordered a double Wimpy burger and a smoked chicken sandwich with a side of spicy mac salad. The owner took our order, and knowing my husband's love for a good burger, he custom-made us a deluxe double smash and a double Gouda smash with bacon to try! All of the burgers were incredibly impressive. They grind the meat in-house, which you can absolutely taste in how juicy the smash burgers are. If I had to pick my personal favorite out of the three, the Gouda takes first place, followed by the double Wimpy, and then the deluxe double. Every single burger was unique and delicious. I didn't ask to confirm, but I'm pretty sure the deluxe featured a perfect slice of heirloom tomato. The smoked chicken sandwich was also fantastic--the chicken was tossed with BBQ sauce, making it incredibly juicy, and it came topped with two crispy onion rings on a soft hoagie bun. Needless to say, we had to take half of our chicken sandwich and mac salad home. We seriously can't wait to go back and try their brisket. What a gem for West Salem!
