“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 !”
“their Spicy Italian add anchovies is the best ever, and their desserts are very scrumptious.”
“Fun restaurant in the heart of McMinnville. Interesting menu and great selection of wines from Willamette Valley. Flatbread was awesome and paired well with A to Z Pinot Noir! Made for an enjoyable time with friends. Thanks to the staff that went out of their way to make our experience wonderful!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“This is country French cuisine. Plentiful and delicious. They take the comfort food preparation very seriously but true to Oregon, you can show in your Sunday best or jeans and feel comfortable. We celebrate We drive from Hillsboro a few times a year. The staff always warm and friendly. Just go, and make it a special drive date.”
“Wooden Heart catered our reception in July and could not have been happier. They were fantastic to work with, communicative, professional and fun! We really appreciated Yvette and Ryan (and their team) for making our day super special and for being so accommodating of the variety of dietary needs of our group. It was a relief that EVERYONE got to enjoy the incredible food. Every guest raved about the food and how cool the pizza trailer set up was. We HIGHLY recommend Wooden Heart!”

“I've been wanting to go to this resturant every since it opened! Excellent service, and wonderful food and large portions to boot. It was a very nice dining experience and our waiter, Bala, was wonderful working to change one of the recipes to fit my companions wishes.”

“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.”

“My partner and I had a wonderful evening after the local vineyards all afternoon. Walked in with no reservations but got a nice intimate table in the bar side. The drink menu was hand made and menu was on a chalkboard. This is my kind of place. The atmosphere was lovely and had the perfect Oregon welcoming vibe. All the employees made you feel welcomed and knew exactly what they were doing. I had the Strip Loin steak dish and I can confidently say this was one of the best steaks I have ever had at a restaurant. I asked for medium and it was cooked perfectly. I wanna genuinely say thank you Thistle for a highlight of my weekend getaway trip for my partner and I. We will definitely be back. 🥩🔥❤️”
“We decided to stop in for a glass of wine before going to dinner. Such a great spot. We tasted several wines and bought a glass or two. Kara was the perfect host and we enjoyed our before dinner drinks. Highly recommend if you are downtown McMinnville.”
“Beautiful winery and property! We had a wonderful tasting. Lots of knowledge around the wines and property. We can’t wait to come back and try more wines. They have a huge “reception” area that would be great for events and a cute little outside sitting space for tastings.”

“I had my first visit just this last week and I was really happy to see what a great, healthy and delicious menu it has! 100% rating on all flavors! Chicken kebab, Moroccan mint tea, Mezza sampler and the chicory salad all have high quality ingredients. The value of that for me is why I can enjoy dining out these days. Not just a menu of burgers and fries or tacos that are easy to make at home. I will keep Cypress on my top list of local restaurants worth returning too! The service level of quality management is very enjoyable.”
“Every Memorial Day and/or Thanksgiving, I make a trip out to visit Westrey's warehouse in McMinnville. Dave and Amy are such great hosts who make amazing wine! I always have to buy pinot from Justice, Oracle, and Abbey Ridge because I can never decide on a favorite because they are so elegant and interesting in their own way.If you want to support a small family winery, this is it! Don't miss it on your trip to McMinnville!”
“Really nice tasting room with a lot of bold reds that aren't Pinot Noir. This was refreshing. The way the flights go is they pour enough for everyone into a small carafe and a designee at your table needs to do the pours to make them even. While a little daunting, it was a fun game.
The wine was superb and we really enjoyed everything we tried, ultimately purchasing a few cases.
Will definitely be back!”
“First time to this state much less McMinnville.... And I have to say we had the best time at Pike Road sampling different wines!! The staff is extremely knowledgeable and made our visit...the wines are great too! If you're lucky you'll run into Jeff.... He's big on aerating and everything Oregon!! Quit reading and go!!”
“UPDATE- We were refunded the original charge and received a gift certificate for $50. Thank you for making this right! We'll be back! We've been waiting over 2 hours for pizza delivery. They never bothered to call to let us know the situation. Terrible delivery service!”

“My family just ate there last night for my daughter‘s birthday party with her friends. I’ve never seen any of those girls eat so much food so there’s something to be said about that. The staff was great, the food came out quick and the atmosphere was awesome! We’re planning a two our trip back just to go have lunch and explore the town more.”
“I was at Union Block today, there was one girl working at about 3pm, she was busy! She did great, poor girl, all that, by herself. I hope everyone took good care if her. She kept apologizing, no need. You handled yourself with grace. Thank you for our coffee! Merry Christmas”

“Such amazing food! And the portions are HUGE!!!!! Worth every penny. We get El Primo once every two weeks it seems ha! It’s that good! And look at the size of that burger! We always order take out, and part of that usually means less food. But that NEVER happens with El Primo. We’ve had dinner at the restaurant too a few times. And they’re wonderful. The inside is bigger than it looks. And the bar side is super cozy. 100/10 recommend!”
“Absolutely love this place in town! The service is always so wonderful and the girls (sometimes a boy) that work there, are fabulous. I always get a brownie sundae/"Serendipity Surprise."
Those that are curious what I get, here it is (if you want to try for yourself!):
- Brownie
- 2 Scoops of moose tracks or cookie dough or cookies and cream
- 1 Scoop of vanilla
- Light fudge
- Heavy Caramel (I mean almost drowning)
- Medium Peanut Chunks
- Light Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
- Medium M and M's
The two young ladies from 9/5/2024 last night at around 8pm, were wonderful! This sundae typically lasts me 2-3 days! This business is people of colour friendly!
Cheers!!!”
“Oh my goodness delicious!!! Heard of this spot word of mouth (always try to check out local, family owned businesses). Tried the asada, pastor, and carnitas tacos. All three delivered steaming hot and tasty, tried all with the 4 homemade salsas. I recommend the spicy Verde sooooo good ???”
“Went in on a random Saturday out late spring-was packed in town and snagged a couple spots in here. Was packed for great karaoke- service was great even with a crowd! Would suggest to anyone.”

“Popped in for a wine tasting during a small Bachelorette weekend, we enjoyed the wines, service, and vibes. Live music was so fun but didn't overpower our conversations. There may have been some sing-along. If I could, I'd give an extra star for the people there, they paid attention to our glasses & we never had to wait between tastes, even with 5 of us, and they had a good sense of humor. We enjoyed our visit!”

“I love it here! not only is the vibe relaxed and welcoming. The employees are really keen on giving you suggestions of what to try and have even learned my plate l palate to help me broaden what type I beers I enjoy based on what I've experienced in the past. Becky and Alyssa are really well versed in the differences of the styles and regional flavors. love coming in here for a point or two or even to grab things for home. the varietals are unmatched.”
“Best house made Pot Stickers in Yamhill County. The atmosphere is vintage 1970's Chinese restaurant style. The bar has had a small renovation the flooring has been redone and additional seating has been added. The service is always great and the food is scratch made. When you order sweet and sour chicken you actually get pretty good sized pieces of chicken not just breading. Their pot stickers are large and made in house not frozen! We have tried almost everything on the menu and every dish has been excellent. Our favorite go to is an order of pot stickers. Then we pick 3 from their Pick Favorites selection; crab puffs, BBQ pork, and sweet and sour chicken. Seriously the best Chinese food I have had in a very long time. I like that they do not use artificial coloring or MSG. The owners are very nice and great people which is refreshing. They also own Kin's Bar and Grill in Lafayette, Or. I was told we could get the same amazing pot stickers there as well. FYI they do have a lot of pool tournaments at any given time. We still got great service and food even with so much going on.”
“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.”
“Food took a while to get to our table, but 🤤 lord have mercy it was soooo goodddd we got the three tacos shrimp, beef, and chicken! All there were amazing like 10/10! The horchada was so good definitely homemade! Everything was so good and there servers were very attentive! I would recommend to anyone!”
“This place has delicious food. The food is tough to beat. They use quality ingredients that you can taste in every bite. The Hot and Sour Soup is the best I have ever had. It has a unique flavor that you don't get at other Chinese restaurants. If you are in the area , give it a try. You won't be disappointed in your meal.”
“what an exceptional tasting! thanks Drew and staff for the amazing hospitality. we will definitely be back!”
“We are so fortunate to have The Eyrie Vineyards in Oregon. If you visit, please learn the history of this vineyard so you will understand why Oregon is able to maintain its beauty and bounty.”
Cheap Eats
“Anytime I'm in McMinnville I make sure to eat here. I live in Hillsboro with probably over 100 Mexican food trucks and restaurants and feel confident saying this is the best Mexican food I've ever had. Everything is top notch and grilled to perfection, the salsa bar is the icing on the cake. I could seriously drink all the salsa they serve. If you haven't tried this place you are missing out on this one of a kind gem.
Parking: Can be difficult to find parking during lunch hours”
“I have had a closet obsession with this brewery when I would visit every year or so from the Midwest when wine tasting in Willamette Valley. Fast forward a decade and now I live in Seattle near an amazing taproom who brings in Heater Allen beers (The Bine in Bothell). Life is good.”
“These guys here are fantastic. They create many unique specialty drinks that you won't find anywhere else. I highly recommend the Twix Remix; it's a peanut butter shake with an espresso kick. So delicious!
Vegetarian options: I said vegetarian, not vegan.
Kid-friendliness: I mean I'm sure they won't mind if you bring one.
Wheelchair accessibility: It's a drive through”
“Restaurant has their own parking lot
Plenty of seating inside and outside

Pretty extensive menu with the white variety of options
Complimentary chips and salsa were both delicious
Portion sizes are enormous so you definitely will have leftovers to take home
Nice place for a meal!”

“The service is always great. The food is always delicious. I love the crispy chicken sandwich and maple bacon burger. Our family goes to Grain Station regularly and we love it.”
“Even though I was traveling on business, staying at the Hotel Oregon was enjoyable. Never have had issues with the common bathroom. The rates don't include breakfast but there is tea and coffee available. There is breakfast available on-site, and several nice breakfast places within a few blocks.”
