My friend and I happened to stop here for lunch on our way further south because there was enough parking for our truck and trailer. We were pleasantly surprised by how excellent the food was, the patience in answering questions even though they were pretty busy, and the friendly service. The restrooms (even the porta-a-potties!) were also clean and stocked. Keeping this place on the radar for other long trips through the area!

I had the pulled pork sandwich with Coleslaw and cornbread. It was so good. Reasonably priced for the quality and quantity. Although it was a busy Saturday night, they were quick. I loved the on-site bar as well. Loved the atmosphere.

Very good brisket and pork belly. The Mac and cheese was disappointing but the other stuff was SO good I’m still easily giving 5/5. Everyone needs to try this place’s brisket!!!

This place is all ambience and distraction from the reality of subpar overpriced cheap cut bbq. Learn how to play guitar before you buy a custom Les Paul. Top shelf prices for bottom shelf bbq just move on and find a taco bell.

My partner and I make a 2-hour drive to the Willamette Valley Smokehouse quite frequently for the best barbecue in town. Not only is this the best barbecue around, but the service is phenomenal. You are welcomed and treated like family by all staff and especially the owners. The environment is so relaxed and inviting. It's has a very rustic and down-home feel to it, and the premises are immaculate. We have told everyone we know about the Smokehouse and we will be customers for life. We also love the coffee truck. And we just love Charlie. The friendliest Labradoodle you will ever meet. He greets you the moment you arrive along with his buddy D.O.G. ? Thank you all! ?

Parking: There was plenty of parking in the lot and very convenient and close to the food trucks and dining tables

Kid-friendliness: A very safe and clean environment for all

Wheelchair accessibility: The property was open and safe for those who are wheelchair dependent and especially access to bathrooms which are right on the property as well. They have thought of everything!

Meemaw’s Mac & Cheese had plenty of pasta but for an extra $6 for meat I did expect more than 2 slices of pork belly on one and few slices of sausage on our other. Meat truly was tasty but quantity for the cost didn’t justify it. Would come back and try their other items such as sandwiches and platters.

We stopped in here as part of harvest hosts. Went over for dinner and we're so pleasantly surprised! Staff was amazing parking is easy food is top-notch. I think this is the best brisket I've ever had in my life! And I love barbecue so that's saying something.

Drive by here every day on the way to work. Finally stopped by for lunch. Had no idea what I was missing. The best barbeque I've ever had! No only is the meat juicy and tender, but they really elevate the experience with an addictive chimichurri, pickled cucumber and red onion and a well balanced barbeque sauce. My favorite sides were a fresh, light potato salad and a moist cornbread.
