21 Best Bar & Grill in Salem

“The food is constantly great! Macaroni and the chicken sliders are currently my top picks. The Bowser BLT will be my all time favorite though. Wonderful place to go have a fun date.

Just wanted to update! My opinion still stands! This is the place I compare all others to for price and quality. Coin Jam sets the bar for food and fun locally and constantly stands on top all the others for me.“

“We were on a road trip from California, to Oregon, to Washington then back again, and we needed to stop for food. I looked this place up and it had a high star rating, and I can see why! It’s not too fancy, just nice, and the staff is super friendly. I think it may have been the one we who served us. We split a meal, and he automatically split it onto separate plates for us. So nice! We got a Rueben sandwich and sweet potato waffle fries. Very good! Like really, really good! The house made ranch was absolutely delicious! The owner saw how much I was just using my fries as a vessel to eat the ranch (haha), and he brought me more and also some serrano aioli to pair with it. Wow! So yummy! We absolutely recommend you make a stop here!“

“The customer service and food is awesome 😎“

“I would like to THANK the Owners, and Staff, of the Half Penny! You made accommodations for a dual family Birthday party for us today. The food was delicious, the staff took care of our needs, and the customer service was PHENOMENAL! You can tell that they really support not only their customers, but each other, as well. THANK YOU, again, for the great experience! I plan on enjoying their nightlife very soon. 😁“

“Food is amazing and so are the vibes you get froms this unique setting. Love it !!“

“Staff was prompt and responsive. I ordered the Prime Rib Special. It came out remarkably fast. Medium rare as requested. Unfortunately the baked potato was over done and yet cool. The prime rib was lukewarm. The horseradish sauce was off- I can’t tell why but it had a peculiar flavor that should not have been there. Seasoning of the prime rib was on point and so was the zip sauce. I wasn’t feeling up to potential confrontation so when they asked how the food was I just said good. With prime rib it’s hard because if they warmed it then it might not have come back medium rare…also there was no steak knife but again I didn’t ask“

“Like this place, but tonight is second time they have accused us of not paying for our drinks. I offered to pay for what I actually ordered, but lead bartender, told me that it was a second time and I was 86. I offered to pay for the drinks I actually ordered, but she insisted I was 86 if I didn't pay for extra items, so I walked out. It was second time accusing me of not paying and being aggressive about it. They need to learn how to properly train these young ladies, as I have paid for and paid extra for my drinks/food here. Very disappointed about this, and will not be back to a place that doesn't respect or trust the customer. This is a enjoyable establishment, only hope the staff learns to listen and understand the customer“

“I got an insane amount of delicious food for so cheap, the waitresses and bartender were so friendly and pretty and it was such a nice clean place with fun atmosphere! 10/10 would go again.“

“Leslie is a sweetheart and makes the best drinks! the happy hour menu is extremely affordable and the wings are fire! Go enjoy the best bar in town!“

“My grandma and I came to tiki lounge today for a late lunch. Robert was our chef and Jen was our server. They were both very polite and welcoming. Attentive and the food was phenomenal! Fresh burger not frozen and the portions are immaculate! Dinner for two was cheaper than McDonald’s!!! Will definitely be back!“

“Great place. Just go and experience it yourself!“

“Great food, great drinks and amazing staff. Our favorite sit down family restaurant.“

“Bartender Phill is awesome!!!“

“they have it all....pool,cold beer, lottery,poker.“

“Nacho's & onion rings for dinner. I've never had bad food there, and the staff is friendly & attentive!“

“Good place w/good people. Pool takes center stage in this bar. You’ve got a high chance of running into a grand master pool player who’ll be willing to teach you.“

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

“As a displaced Southerner, I approach BBQ in the PNW with caution. Two bites into the pork belly and I was instantly a ten-year-old again eating the food my father and uncles worked for days to prepare. The Vault is what happens when Down Home Comfort Food meets haute cuisine - homemade, fresh, extremely generous portions of authentic, perfectly prepared fare. The BBQ is phenomenal and the sides are delicious as well. Corn was still snappy, the fries were hot even delivered, and the tacos are phenomenally flavorful without being loaded down with spice. Try the jalapeno poppers which are *obviously* hand made! The burgers are juicy and freshly-made to grilling perfection, and the Alabama white sauce will knock your socks off. The prices are ridiculously low, as I would happily pay twice the asking for the generous portions and extremely high quality of ingredients ... not to mention the obvious love, skill, and pride that go into the food. Bonus: no Styrofoam containers here, but reusable aluminum pans that just need a quick wash packed skillfully to avoid using too much container. And where else can you play cribbage while enjoying your food and superbly crafted cocktails?“
