“Wow - this was a stunning experience all around. The service was truly some of the best I’ve experienced in Oregon, perfectly matched by the incredible food.

“It was so fun to go back in the Pirate’s Den. Thanks to all those who are keeping that small-town staple going. I got the breakfast burrito and cinnamon roll. I liked the large amount of cheese on the burrito. I wish it would have come with some salsa because the potatoes were a little dry by 9:30 am. The cinnamon roll icing and filling were great and I liked the to-go style packaging.“

“We were at Humble Spirit last night and were blown away by our meal . We started with the meatballs and veggie platter, we had the pasta, chicken and the daily special of duck. Every one of the meals was absolutely divine !! The pasta is by far one of the best pasta dishes I have ever eaten. I highly recommend you try Humble Spirit !“

“A Must-Visit Lunch Spot in McMinnville! Every time I visit McMinnville, this restaurant is at the top of my list—and once again, it did not disappoint! In fact, my friend and I loved it so much that we had lunch here twice during our trip. The corn chowder was absolutely fantastic—so creamy with just the right amount of seasoning. My friend enjoyed the ½ Turkey Sandwich, while I devoured the Chicken Cashew Salad, which was fresh and delicious. The broccoli cheddar soup was just okay, but the tomato vegetable soup was a standout, according to my friend. And let’s not forget the in-house wheat bread—fresh, flavorful, and the perfect complement to our meal. Our waitress, Andrea, was incredible! I highly recommend asking for her—she was attentive, friendly, and made our experience even better. To finish, we split a lemon cupcake—our only regret was sharing it! It was perfectly moist, and the cream cheese icing was out of this world. Don’t miss your chance to enjoy an amazing lunch here. Hours: 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM.“

“Looking for a real treat today? Serendipity is the perfect place to experience that old fashioned “Let’s go out for a treat” thing that your parents and grandparents used to enjoy as much as you did!
The prices aren’t bad. The ambiance is priceless and the ice cream, absolutely flawless! Our entire family got brownie sundaes. While we were pigging out I noticed other patrons licking their containers. Yep! It’s that good!“

“If there were such a thing as an afterlife, and I somehow mistakenly ended up being sent to the place where good and decent people go, the chicken pot pie would be a standard menu item for all eternity.❤️“

“love this place! great food!“

“Wow, finally a Chai with real flavor! I just bought two large, beautiful muffins. Blueberry and Carrot cake muffin. The Blueberry So Good. The Carrot Cake tender, sweet, spices you can taste...it doesn't need frosting. It's big enough to share, if you want to. I'll be back. 😃“

“What a stunning location! Although we experienced a delay with our food due to a WiFi glitch that prevented orders from reaching the kitchen, the staff handled it with impressive care and urgency. They quickly sorted everything out, allowed guests to switch to lunch options, and generously comped all our meals—plus treated us to delicious lemon pies. Best of all, when the food arrived, it was absolutely incredible. Everyone in our group was raving about their dishes. Despite the initial hiccup, the atmosphere was lively and the service truly outstanding. Highly recommend!“

“Great brisket sandwich! Smoky, sweet and tangy BBQ sauce. Second to none.😁“

“Whether you are looking to shoot some pool or just shoot some…, some, more pool? There is definitely lots for good folks, food, refreshments, and entertainment available here!
Looks like a real good place to hang out if you like shooting pool! Lots of tables and from what I’m seeing, quite a few sharks’s teeth (trophies) around the place! Definitely my kinda place!
Just stopped in tonight for a couple burgers but really felt like staying and having a few drinks with the friendly patrons who were having a great time there. Looks like there is live music available as well!
The burgers are the best in town! We are definitely coming back to see what else their menu has to offer! 🍔🍕🍤🍺🍷🥃🍹“

“Berts chuckwagon is some of the better barbecue we have around here. Trouble is in the northwest we just don’t have a lot of barbecue. I feel like the sides are what really shine. His ribs are good. They do it smoked style but they are pretty tough and dry and that’s what happens when you smoke ribs. Mine are like 10 times better in the oven and so juicy they fall off the bone. He’s a nice guy and the prices are moderate for what they offer portions are pretty generous. I’ve eaten here multiple times when I didn’t feel like cooking. Will probably come back again. But I do prefer to make my own barbecue over berts.“

“OMG!!

“50's diner type style. Ate the 1/4 burger minus sweet relish. crinkle fries and their fry sauce. Tasted home-made, so full didn't have room for the ice cream they make onsight. We will go again, friendly staff. You can tell locals go here, popular place.“

“If you are craving a sandwich, burger, or salad with a refreshing beverage, this is a place for you. We ordered the prime rib on a Saturday night. It was flavorful and moist. Our CC only critique is that we would have liked a little more variety on the menu. The service was excellent at the pub and cellar“

“Hit the McMenamins Pub, McMinnville, Oregon on a recent visit and had a Capt. Neon Burger with tots and a Dirty Shirley.

The Capt. Neon Burger shows up looking unapologetically hearty. A soft, lightly toasted bun cradles a thick, juicy beef patty cooked to a satisfying char on the outside while staying tender inside. Crisp lettuce and fresh red onion add crunch and bite, while the bacon brings smoky richness that anchors the whole stack. It’s a straightforward burger done confidently...no gimmicks, just solid execution. The toothpick through the top is a small detail, but it reinforces that classic pub-burger presentation.

The tater tots on the side are exactly what you want them to be: golden, crunchy on the outside, fluffy inside, and clearly fried with care. Dunked into the generous pool of ketchup, they’re nostalgic in the best way
...simple, salty, and addictive.

The Dirty Shirley is pure throwback fun with a grown-up twist. Served ice-cold in a tall glass, it’s fizzy, lightly sweet, and refreshingly tart. The grenadine sinks and swirls through the clear soda, giving it that iconic pink hue, while the cherry garnish leans hard into retro charm. It’s bright, playful, and dangerously easy to drink less cocktail bravado, more cheerful indulgence.“

“Went through the drive up after a long day at softball for a quick dinner and the gentleman working the drive up window was so kind and fun! I had forgotten to order a drink until I got to the window and he happily offered to add it to our order. Thank you to him for making the end of our day great!“

“I recommend the waitress Monica Barrera at the IHOP in Panorama City Calif as she gives such great and wonderful service. She asks if everything is ok and always comes back to give refills. This is much appreciated. Best wishes from the original Johnny Blaze, and "may the Blaze be with you."“
