28 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Rickreall

“Always a fabulous experience“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“100% recommend. Great wine, view and staff.“

“Delicious Pinot Noir and the Chardonnay was excellent! The atmosphere and staff are top notch!“

“the food and drinks are amazing!“

“Had an awesome tasting at Evening Land. The property is absolutely beautiful and has some of the best views we saw in the Willamette Valley. We ended up spending way more time there than we planned because the atmosphere was so relaxing and welcoming.

What really stood out was the hospitality. Everyone was friendly, down to earth, and genuinely excited to talk about the wines without making the experience feel intimidating or overly formal. We learned a lot, had some great conversations, and never felt rushed.

The wines were fantastic across the board, especially the Pinot Noirs. You can tell there’s a lot of attention to detail in both the winemaking and the overall experience.

If you’re visiting Willamette Valley, Evening Land is absolutely worth a stop. Great wine, beautiful setting, and some of the best hospitality we experienced all weekend.“

“Great Atmosphere Great Beer Great Food Trucks around“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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🤦‍♀️“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“I absolutely love Burgerville as it is one of the only fast food burger style restaurants that I know that carry gluten free, vegan buns and dairy free shakes.
The people here are always super friendly and do their best to make your food good and their service even better. I travel all over Oregon and SW Washing and have been to many locations, this location is by far my favorite one to visit.“

“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. 🙏🏽🙂‍↕️🙏🏽“
