    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!

    This fine establishment is a welcome surprise for the town of Stayton. It has a certain charm that…read morekeeps bringing me back. The owners, Kyla and Mac, have left no stone unturned when it came to detail. The tap lines are clean and insulated, the layout is cool (with an upstairs for console games), and the overall game selection is very good, especially for vintage games. There's even a room devoted to pinball and an outside area, both covered and open. The Big Buck Hunter shooting game is one of my addictions. I have the high score at Game On for Elk Adventure (as of this writing). Mac has the guns calibrated regularly for accuracy. And in a shooting game, that is paramount to a fun time and a reason for my success. It's also rare for a bar to take the time to do maintain properly-calibrated equipment for this particular game. Game On has beer and cider on tap, wine, and a nice selection of liquor and some great cocktails. In fact, the Huckleberry Margarita (Kyla's personal recipe) is stellar (although I must confess that me and tequila don't play well together, so I substitute vodka). I'll be returning there soon to see if I can get a new high score on Big Buck Hunter; there is an impending upgrade, which includes Caribou that I have to try. Plus, those Huckleberry Margarita's are calling my name.

She replaced it with a hazy IPA which I didn't love, but ordered anyway because I felt awkward standing up there. The way the bar is arranged isn't great - the bartender was positioned to stand right in front of the beer list, so I had to move around to see. I felt uncomfortable.

But when I heard Matt Spenner was going to be the brew master, excitement crept in. Because if anyone should be able to make good beer, it would be a Spenner. (This is generations of research manifesting itself here, folks). I was not disappointed. To start with, they have some funky names: Citra Lee Ale (named after Matt's wife Crystal, who's a brew mistress (is that even a term?) with Matt), Eukanot Do That on Television IPA (pretty awesome name considering the stuff on TV nowadays), and my favorite to drink, the Schmokin Porter. Their selection is limited, but they have guest beers (and wines), and they'll be coming up with new stuff so stay tuned. The place is open and airy and comfortable. No TVs or one arm bandits here, so you're gonna have to socialize, which is a good thing in my book. Add a dose of country music in the background, and voila, you're soaking in a cool vibe and sucking down some yummy suds. If you want grub, there's a food truck around when you need it. Plus, with the bay doors open, it's like you're chillin' in your bud's new backyard brewery, which is uber cool.

The staff are hard working and friendly, & they do trivia night on Thursday and usually have a band every couple weeks on Saturday nights. The roll up door is definitely a cool touch. Breakfast is available on Fri-Sun and it's the best spot in town IMO. Their avocado toast is really go. They can be pretty busy at times but I've never had an unreasonable wait time... the back of house is as skilled and hardworking as the FOH. They do have a large space to accommodate bigger groups and are kid friendly on the side opposite the bar. There is a variety of seating types- tall tables, short tables and front row seats at the bar to choose from. I would definitely recommend making a trip to downtown Stayton to give this business a try.

I also tried the cheeseburger and the mozzarella sticks. Both great. Their ranch seemed homemade which is always a big plus. If anyone is reading this who has ownership, please open a second location in Portland or Bend.

We both ordered Bacon Burgers with cheese. First, the woman who took our order burned the fries. To her credit, she appeared to be the only one working and was trying to deal with quite a lot. Additionally, she offered to replace with tatortots (with a bit of money back) or a second attempt at the fries. We didn't want to wait longer so accepted the tots. For the cost ($8.50 per burger with cheese), we expected at least decent quality food. The tots were nothing special and the burger was disappointing to say the least. The bun looked/felt/tasted like something you'd get out of a cheap package at the store. It also wasn't toasted or heated at all. There was one strip of bacon ripped in half, a very thin patty that didn't seem handmade as the menu states, and a few other toppings that didn't seem to fresh either. We'll check it out sometime for the actual bar portion, but as for food, we'll be staying away.
