42 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Independence

“Great Atmosphere Great Beer Great Food Trucks around“

“Best place to get coffee, desserts, pizza, and even a brew on tap. The owners are the sweetest people and we love our collaboration there! You can pick up any of our multi award-winning desserts right inside Brew! You will be welcomed by Cathy and Mitch and they’re amazing team, you can’t get a better experience in such a beautiful little town.“

“Everything about this place is amazing except for the fact that they usually sit you directly next to someone even if you are the only two customers in the whole restaurant. They get nasty about it if you ask to move. Then they'll sit a table directly next to where you moved. Annoying, wish they would stop.“

“Our favorite place to grab food for casual date nights. The food is TO DIE FOR. You can taste how much he loves to cook; he puts his soul into his cooking. Wonderful people, love the atmosphere here. Great place to hang out and enjoy downtown.“

“The place has a lovely western feel to it. Almost feels like you’re in Montana or Wyoming. The staff was lovely and the food was great. 10/10 experience.“

“Don't waste your money! Great, attentive & friendly to the regulars, short, inattentive to the point of needing a flag for us. Menu said $10.5 for 6 poppers, got 4, showed them 1 wing was bloody & pink & got a shug 🤯 considering they want to be the BWW of Indy. First time back with high hopes after a couple years but unfortunately the new bar top hasn't changed much at Arena on a slow Wed night🤷‍♀️ Plus Chases'drinks are twice the size for the same price🤦‍♀️“

“We were looking for a frozen yogurt place close to South Salem and this place rocks. It's super clean, they have great options for yogurt and toppings, and the staff are very friendly.“

“I have always been more than happy with the special #2. The portion sizes are huge and I love it. Id prefer less sweet and sour sauce in the box when you order it to go, but it seems like theres always a relatively equal mix of fully sauced chicken pieces and some only about half. So you can elect to drown your chicken in more of the delicious sauce or eat a half doused ones as is. The chow mein is perfect. Pork fried rice is a great addition that lets you enjoy rice with some appreciated flavor. I originally didnt like the crab puffs but they grew on me quickly.

Ive seen some complain that the outside needs more cleaning or that the environment needs some adjustment. I think the concerns of the outside are fair enough, but Ive never felt the place was unclean. If anything, I take small town restaurants with dated exteriors but fine interiors as a sign of the truly good stuff. And my experience with Jade terrace has basically just been that: the good stuff.

I am currently full to the brim with a special #2 after thinking about it all day and not eating much. You know what Im not full of? Regret. The special #2 filled me up so much, I have no room for it. Great place for Chinese food.“

“As a business owner from Portland, I understand the importance of providing excellent customer service. Team members should make a genuine effort to acknowledge customers when they walk in. I’m not referring to business related phone use, but rather personal phone activity that distracts from customer interaction.

A simple greeting and basic attentiveness go a long way. Employees represent not only the business, but also the community. Customers deserve to feel welcomed and acknowledged. I also believe in second chances because I know you all can do better. Pizza was very tasty. I’ll give you that… with much respect. 🙏🏽🙂‍↕️🙏🏽“

“Lovely staff, love the pond and cozy atmosphere. Nice place to bring family and friends.“

“Had a lunch with here with girl friends. Our server, Aiden, was so fun and amazing! Food was incredible and wine was exquisite! We plan this as a yearly event now. This is a wonderful winery with great service as well as wine and food!“

“Best breakfast I've had. I'll be making the drive from Oregon City down here for the biscuits and chicken fried chicken. You can taste the love put into the food🩷“

“I write reviews for Yelp also and I specialize in winkling out venues where seniors alone feel welcome. And I range as far south as Albany. Of all the coffee houses I have tried, the Urban Grange has been the most consistently reliable and satisfying. Coffee and bake goods are the best in town, parking is the most convenient, and waits are short.“

“Food was alright just a tad over cooked. Waitress was not very nice. The place is old and needs updated and the floors were disgusting! The menu did not have the correct price so if your on a budget, you get to guess how much more the price is.“

“Online ordering is very easy and when we picked it up, the food looked even better than in the photos. Our order was done right on time and was the most delicious Thai food I’ve had in Oregon or NY. I can’t remember having Thai food anywhere else, but it’s likely better than that too. The salad rolls and papaya salad were my favorite but the grilled pork was an important part of the meal.“

“the food and drinks are amazing!“

“Not only are the pizzas delicious, with the yummiest pizza crust but YB has some of the best customer service I've ever encountered, especially in the last few years when customer service seems to have seriously declined. I would go back to them again and again just for that.“

“I absolutely love the Sippery and regularly travel over from Salem to enjoy their delish fresh smoothies, coffee, and bagel sandwiches. The workers are always so incredibly friendly and I just love the vibe. Highly recommend it’s worth the drive!“

“We love the brisket we had the tater salad is gluten free!!!“

“I love this place!! I put a bumper sticker on my 74 jeep I’m building for my grandson. Great place!!!“

“Comfortable, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff. Supports local events, ie: Monmouth Music in the Park, Western Oregon University concerts, & Tailgating, local service organizations & charity events. Locally sourced products, wines , & brews. Healthy meals, cooked on order. Sunday brunch, catering, family dining. Please visit!“

“Wonderful food and friendly attentive service. Sidewinder fries were epic.“

“Westside is without question the best taphouse in Salem. Great variety of beers, ciders, and wines that skew PNW local. Almost always something new and unique to try. Small selection of cans & bottles to go. Friendly staff & nice atmosphere. Year round outdoor seating as well.

Kid-friendliness: 21+“

“It is hard to find good breakfast in this area and Cafe 22 hits the spot. I love their peaches, the pancake thickness isnt overly cakey and hard to swallow. The bacon is thick and cooked just right. The raspberry jam is real raspberry jam. The water mentioned in the another review is because they are on a well so it does taste little bit more tinnish, a lemon wedge in my water cured that. Stopped by the fruit stand for fresh strawberries, on the spendy side, but oh the flavor, absolutely nothing beats an Oregon strawberry. Had I known they did strawberry short cake, I woulda skipped the breakfast and went straight to the fruit stand.“

“My family had a great experience with booking a party at Left Coast Estate. Jacquelyn and I worked together to plan a great birthday experience for my daughter. Everything from the food to the setting and of course the wine was fabulous. She communicated well with me (from out of state) and made everything happen seamlessly. Thank you so much!“

“I live in Salem Oregon but I work out in Monmouth so I frequently stop at the Dutch Brothers here in Monmouth for my drinks and let me tell you the staff here are just so amazing they're always so nice and they always make my day you're all your locations need to have a crew like these guys and I just wanted to give them a shout out today to let them know this customer appreciates everything they do and how they make me feel every time I come through thank you guys and you guys are and always will be my favorite shop.“

“Their menu is amazing.The best pork ramen in town .“

“This has been such a happy surprise. Bethany the bartender has the best energy and way w all the customers. Rita’s Taco Truck is phenomenal, my mouth is watering just thinking about their food, Able and his mom are a DREAM TEAM. Only reason I didn’t give five stars across the board is because the smoking area is rather large and the smell can be smelled inside.“

“Amazing Dutch Crew, always friendly and excellent service!! Truly the best!!!“

“Beautiful place. Great wines. Knowledgeable and friendly staff.“

“Amazing crew! Love everything about this team!“

“Let’s me start off by saying two things. First, this is the one and only winery in the valley to which I hold a wine membership. Second, having Renee back is a sign of good things to come.

Ever since I have been coming here (and I am speaking exclusively about the Rickreall property), I have found that, when I take guests, they absolutely love the wine. They also like the tasting room. And the side yard, with the koi pond, and the back yard, with the lawn and seating, remain somewhat underutilized, but wonderful, parts of the property.

The staff? For the most part, great. But, as a person who gets out here infrequently, you notice the turnover. The wine club? Erratic. Sometimes you get updates. Sometimes you don’t. Sometimes wines ship on time. Sometimes they don’t. At times, email communication is direct, spirited, and often. Other times, it is infrequent or confusing at best.

I think the major problem for this property is making it a destination, rather than a place on the way to other destinations. Rickreall is, to be fair, an access point to other areas. Sure, the bright red paint and signage help. But only to a point. A full food program would help (and I get it . . . staffing). Making better use of the outdoor space (which is starting to happen). Better communication with members who bring others who can become members who can then . . . you get my point.

Circling back, on a visit a month ago, I took a long time, out of town, friend (he’s been here nearly a dozen times). The guys behind the counter seemed a bit too casual and didn’t exactly act like they knew what was going on. We both enjoyed a glass outside and had a chat with a couple from Bandon, then moved on. It was fine. Not great. Just fine. Then, on my last visit last week, I brought my cousin with me. He is from out of town and knows a lot about wine (having made wine and worked at wineries in Napa). When he visits, we always stop here. Renee was working. It was like magic! Not only did she recognize my name from my email correspondence, she took an active interest in what we had to say about the winery. Not a feigned interest. A real interest. And, if some of the things we discussed are actually going to happen, it could be a real breath of fresh air for this place.

Wineries are hurting right now, here and elsewhere. This place needs a person—especially in a forward-facing position like managing the wine club and the tasting room—who understands that, responds to fans like me, and works to draw in new customers. I really think Renee can do that.

I want this place to show up on lists that you see in local and national media. I’d love to hear people saying, “I enjoy the wineries near McMinnville and Carlton, but I love that place in Rickreall!” And I will continue to support them. I can’t tell you how many times I have had people over for dinner and, when they take that first sip of a wine from here, they are amazed. Then I tell them about Eola. I spread the word.

So, this is a long way of saying something fairly simple: Renee, thanks for making me feel optimistic again about this place. I am rooting for you! I hope you hire and retain people who love this place as much as you (and I) do.

Those reading this? My comments aren't critical. They are constructive (on Google, no less!). And this place, when it is running smoothly, deserves more than five stars.“

“Great food and awesome service. I'm here either dining in or picking up my dinner at least 3 times a month“

“I was bummed they no longer have their classic halibut fish & chips, and we opted to stay true to what we wanted and got the Pacific cod fish and chips. We were super pleased and went back the very next day and got the same thing! Yummy!“

“The Employees/Baristas/Broistas always make exactly what I want, and they’re so friendly and kind. Thank you so much for making me feel so special every time I come over to get my drink. ♥️“

“best iced coffees always nice great drinks. and always supporting good causes“

“Been coming here consistently for a few years and it’s our families favorite local restaurant. Great food, drinks and service. Also so many different places to sit and enjoy different vibes between the bar, outdoor seating and upstairs parlor.“

“Amazing place! Amazing food! Amazing decor! Amazing beer! Clean bathrooms!“

“I literally drive from the north area to go to the commercial street store. The atmosphere, and the people who work here are the best. Never had a bad drink. I always look forward to the crazy girl at the window (Teri) she makes my mornings. The manager Jordan wow she knows how to run a store. Thanks everyone for making my morning great…“

“We were able to be seated super fast, great menu selection and warm comfortable vibe! Highly recommend!“

“I had a great experience at Panera Bread. The restaurant was clean, welcoming, and had a very relaxed atmosphere. The staff was friendly and helpful, and my order was prepared quickly and accurately.

The food was fresh and flavorful. You can really tell they use quality ingredients, and everything tasted well made. The bread and soups are always a highlight, and the portions are just right.

Overall, it’s a great place to grab a quick meal, meet with friends, or even get some work done while enjoying good food. I’ll definitely be coming back again.“
