The staff are hard working and friendly, & they do trivia night on Thursday and usually have a band every couple weeks on Saturday nights. The roll up door is definitely a cool touch. Breakfast is available on Fri-Sun and it's the best spot in town IMO. Their avocado toast is really go. They can be pretty busy at times but I've never had an unreasonable wait time... the back of house is as skilled and hardworking as the FOH. They do have a large space to accommodate bigger groups and are kid friendly on the side opposite the bar. There is a variety of seating types- tall tables, short tables and front row seats at the bar to choose from. I would definitely recommend making a trip to downtown Stayton to give this business a try.

Well I knew it was too good to be true. We had 2 wonderful visits then we were right back to why we…read morestopped going here in the first place. It's unfortunate for the staff that works hard and seems to enjoy their jobs that there is a female bartender and server that are continuously rude and terrible at their jobs. These individuals are mentioned multiple times in reviews, and not in a favorable way. It's a shame too because this place could be great! Will never go back! At least not until we know particular staff are no longer there. What could be an oasis in a food desert was nothing more than a mirage. Sad for Stayton.

Three of us stopped at Cheers On 1st for lunch. We had heard the it was nice, and I have to say,…read morefor what it is, I am impressed. It is a neighborhood place, only five tables and three banquets, but it has a wide variety of premium beers available, and a full bar. The locals were friendly, our Server / Bartender / Cook, Ginger, was attentive and accommodating. The food was good, we received great service, and the dining area and bar and restroom were super clean. This ain't no dive bar! We ordered Chicken Fried Steak, two eggs (over easy), hash browns and homemade gravy / $9.50; Chef's Salad, iceberg lettuce, ham, turkey, egg, tomato and American and Swiss cheeses / $8.50; and French Toast, two eggs and sausage patty / $7.75. Our Server, Ginger (Go Beavers!), whipped all this out while keeping up with the other customer's orders ... wow, She was flying! Three-Star Food and Five Star Service. Next time, I'll try the burgers.

The space was huge - way bigger than expected. I was bummed there was only one IPA and the keg blew on my order. She replaced it with a hazy IPA which I didn't love, but ordered anyway because I felt awkward standing up there. The way the bar is arranged isn't great - the bartender was positioned to stand right in front of the beer list, so I had to move around to see. I felt uncomfortable.

When I heard Stayton was getting its very own brewery, I was happy to hear their downtown was…read moregetting a lift. But when I heard Matt Spenner was going to be the brew master, excitement crept in. Because if anyone should be able to make good beer, it would be a Spenner. (This is generations of research manifesting itself here, folks). I was not disappointed. To start with, they have some funky names: Citra Lee Ale (named after Matt's wife Crystal, who's a brew mistress (is that even a term?) with Matt), Eukanot Do That on Television IPA (pretty awesome name considering the stuff on TV nowadays), and my favorite to drink, the Schmokin Porter. Their selection is limited, but they have guest beers (and wines), and they'll be coming up with new stuff so stay tuned. The place is open and airy and comfortable. No TVs or one arm bandits here, so you're gonna have to socialize, which is a good thing in my book. Add a dose of country music in the background, and voila, you're soaking in a cool vibe and sucking down some yummy suds. If you want grub, there's a food truck around when you need it. Plus, with the bay doors open, it's like you're chillin' in your bud's new backyard brewery, which is uber cool.

This fine establishment is a welcome surprise for the town of Stayton. It has a certain charm that…read morekeeps bringing me back. The owners, Kyla and Mac, have left no stone unturned when it came to detail. The tap lines are clean and insulated, the layout is cool (with an upstairs for console games), and the overall game selection is very good, especially for vintage games. There's even a room devoted to pinball and an outside area, both covered and open. The Big Buck Hunter shooting game is one of my addictions. I have the high score at Game On for Elk Adventure (as of this writing). Mac has the guns calibrated regularly for accuracy. And in a shooting game, that is paramount to a fun time and a reason for my success. It's also rare for a bar to take the time to do maintain properly-calibrated equipment for this particular game. Game On has beer and cider on tap, wine, and a nice selection of liquor and some great cocktails. In fact, the Huckleberry Margarita (Kyla's personal recipe) is stellar (although I must confess that me and tequila don't play well together, so I substitute vodka). I'll be returning there soon to see if I can get a new high score on Big Buck Hunter; there is an impending upgrade, which includes Caribou that I have to try. Plus, those Huckleberry Margarita's are calling my name.

We were in the mood for burgers, but didn't want to eat inside anywhere. We decided to try Rif's…read moresince we hadn't been there since the name/ownership change. We both ordered Bacon Burgers with cheese. First, the woman who took our order burned the fries. To her credit, she appeared to be the only one working and was trying to deal with quite a lot. Additionally, she offered to replace with tatortots (with a bit of money back) or a second attempt at the fries. We didn't want to wait longer so accepted the tots. For the cost ($8.50 per burger with cheese), we expected at least decent quality food. The tots were nothing special and the burger was disappointing to say the least. The bun looked/felt/tasted like something you'd get out of a cheap package at the store. It also wasn't toasted or heated at all. There was one strip of bacon ripped in half, a very thin patty that didn't seem handmade as the menu states, and a few other toppings that didn't seem to fresh either. We'll check it out sometime for the actual bar portion, but as for food, we'll be staying away.
