Restaurants in Carlton

“I’ve eaten at Blind Pig several times and always had a great meal. Last Friday (February 27) I had the absolute best smash burger I’ve ever had. ANYWHERE. Lots of grilled onions, I had grease running down my arms. DELICIOUS!!! I don’t know if they have a new cook or what, but now I dream of that burger and can’t wait to go back.”

“Great food, service and atmosphere.”

“What a great way to taste a fresh hopped beer during hop harvest. Great location for young and older families. I want to go back when they have live bands. The pop up smash burger was the cherry on top. It deserves all the accolades.”

“I was so lucky to stumble upon this tasting room in Carlton! I honestly can’t stop raving about it. Nicky provided fantastic service, and every wine I tried was delicious… the Rubis was an absolute standout. I’m thrilled to have joined their wine club and can't wait to go back!”

“My wife and I did a weekend trip for her birthday to Lincoln City. When we arrived we decided to book a wine tasting in the area, found Violet Vines, booked a tasting, and off we went the next day! Neither of us were sure what to expect, but the person that helped us was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Talking to him we found out he was the owners son (apologies for forgetting the name!) and told us all about the wines. We did the wine flights and after we finished, he brought out their sparkling red wine. We were both initially skeptical, but it was amazing! Highly recommend if you go to try the Extra Brut Sparkling Red Wine! The wines are all dry and the bubbles added an extra dimension. Highly recommend Violet Vines Winery!”

“An amazing experience a great hospitality. Ryan always makes the experience for my wife and our guests enjoyable. I truly hate to tell you about this hidden gem but these guy's deserve the recognition. Hands down my favorite place to hangout and enjoy the sports on TV at the tasting room.”

“Good variety of wines with a wine maker that has great passion for his work.”

“The food is fresh & fabulous! The service impeccable. A marvelous beverage selection that enhances your food. Have been several times and have never been disappointed. I highly recommend Park&Main!”

“Great downtown tasting room with beautiful outdoor and indoor tasting areas. We enjoyed our tasting at Ken Wright Cellars which is located at the old train depot in Carlton. Wines are very nice and our wine educator was excellent. The location draws a lot of walk-ins but we never felt crowded or neglected. Each tasting is waived with a $100 purchase. We enjoyed the wine and therefore purchased $200+ to have the fees waived. The owner and winemaker Ken Wright has years of experience in the industry. He buys excellent fruit and in turn produces excellent wine. Definitely worth a visit when in Carlton or nearby.”

“The BEST Thai food in Salem! We love going here for lunch, the woman is so nice and texting our order is super convenient! Great service �”

“My friend and I had a terrific time last weekend at Laurel Ridge. Channel (sp) was our host and guided us through their wines. We loved ALL the wines we tasted and the charcuterie platter was terrific! Channel was knowledgeable not only about the wines but the wine region in general so we learned a lot! Highly recommended.”

“We had an amazing time during our visit! While we didn't sample every wine, the Cabernet Franc truly stood out for us. The winery itself is intriguing—it may appear to be a simple storefront in the city, but it boasts stunning views of the valley and mountains. We also enjoyed the bocce ball courts, and the staff provided a warm and friendly atmosphere. Plus, the prices were very reasonable!”

“We have been dropping in to the Horse Radish for lunch in Carlton many times over the last 10+ years . We stopped by today, and decided we neeed to let people know how good it is. They have the most delicious sandwiches anywhere. I had Carlton Ham on ciabatta bread with bacon and fig jam--perfection! A half sanwich with a half salad and a glass of wine was the perfect lunch. Loved it!”

“Nice place to visit fora Quick snack. Or minimal groceries, including but not limited to, Hot/Cold Quick snacks, Ice cream & treats, Milk, Beer, Soda, Lottery tickets, Cigarettes/Vapes”

“This place has sentimental value for me, but even without that I give it 5/5. The wines were incredible, the view was absolutely amazing, and Mary Lou, who guided our tasting, was so knowledgeable and easy to talk to. We booked a tasting ahead of time, which is recommended. We went midweek, so we were actually the only people there for almost the entire tasting. A group came in as we were tasting our final wine and deciding on what to purchase. Reservations are recommended, but if they have room they’ll take you as a walk in! My parents were married here 31 years ago, so to be able to visit with my husband and experience it was incredible. I highly recommend visiting, buying some wine, and enjoying your time at Anne Amie! They will ship wine to you (depending upon the state you live in) and you can also ship it yourself from the Newberg Mail Room! You can buy their wines online, too. Amazing experience!”

“Sweet food, service & ambiance. Will always stop here on our way through Carlton.”

“nice customer service good food”

“Looking for a quick lunch, did not expect a whole kitchen in a gas station. Ordered the first sandwich on the list and was pleasantly surprised at the quickness and great flavor of the club and REAL chips made fresh. So thanks for the amazing lunch!”

“The portions were huge. The food good and the prices were reasonable. Very fast and friendly service too.”
