Let me just enlighten anyone that hasn’t had the pleasure of visiting this amazing little place! I will start by saying, that I only gave it 5 stars across the board because I couldn’t give it 10 in each category. I live nearby in a neighboring town, and never really ventured around the heart of this quaint and very historical town… a very good friend took me on a scenic tour just after it was illuminated for Christmas. It is magical! ✨

But before you...

If you're looking for a local dive bar / restaurant with amazing food and service this is your place. John was the most helpful with local microbrewery choices. He was very kind and knowledgeable and his love for his job was evident. The food was surprisingly delicious. I loved that they had local / farmers market veges on the menu. This is a family friendly spot on the square in McMinnville.

I had the wings. My dinner guest had the Smokehouse sampler and was very pleased. We shared the fried green tomatoes. Everything was awesome. Service was outstanding as well. Can't wait to visit again when I am back in town.
