    Absolutely worth the drive from Salem, though the GPS is a bit wacky and we passed it while looking on the opposite side of the street. Once located, we chose one of the two drive through sides and ordered a cheeseburger combo and a double cheeseburger, drink, and order of onion rings. The menu features both a small and large, and I'm glad I asked about the size. Small was plenty enough for two to share with a lot left over. Likewise, the combo includes a bag full of crinkle cut fries, both served with a fry sauce - so if you prefer ketchup, you should ask for it. They also have fresh made shakes with ice cream, milk, and flavors, but didn't receive their delivery and were unable to accommodate orders. There were benches in a grassy area next to the stand, but no table. We drove to the nearest park in hopes of finding a picnic table, but ran into the same issue at the city 'park' in front of the courthouse. Both burgers were juicy, with cheddar (from multiple choices available) and loaded with toppings on a soft bun. I prefer a leaf lettuce and got several chunks of yellowing lettuce from a bagged salad type, but overall, it didn't detract. Onion rings were piping hot and perfectly crisp, as were the fries. If you've got a hankering for a burgers, there's a reason this place has been around so long. They'll fix you up and keep you coming back. We're already planning a trip back for a shake having experienced the love they infused into the burgers!

    I typically order a double cheeseburger meal and it's absolutely the best burger I've ever eaten.

    I've stayed here before.... but this time it was for our son's graduation from Oregon State…read moreUniversity. GO BEAVS! After a booking error on our end, the hotel was able to get us a room for Thursday. We thought we had reserved a room for Thursday through Monday. So it was a huge relief to get that worked out. We did have to move rooms Friday, but that's not the hotel's fault. As an EVS worker for a large hospital, I tend to check everything. From high dust to floors and everything in between. I can tell that the employees take pride in their work. So kudos to the Housekeeping staff. Also, to the Housekeeper who found something we had left behind and returned in to us, you're awesome. I wish I had gotten your name. Thank you. Now to the front desk. Monica. Monica, you were always kind, eager to help, and an employee that every establishment desires to have. I know it had to be a crazy weekend due to the college graduations, but you rose to the top and did it with a smile. Thank you. Now the restaurant staff. You all are awesome too. After a couple of disappointing dinners at local restaurants, we decided to have dinner at the hotel. Delicious. The staff was friendly, professional, and our meals were great. Thank you. The views from the rooftop are gorgeous. Parking isn't bad. The rooms are clean. The property is clean. The staff are amazing. Although we no longer have kids in Oregon (two of our kids graduated from Oregon State University) we love Independence and we love the Independence Hotel.

    The location of this hotel is right on the river, with a rooftop deck, and is lovely. The room we…read morehad was clean and perfectly average. We kept hitting our toes on the metal foundation frame of the beds, which was frustrating, but the beds themselves were comfortable. The breakfast was standard hotel fare but perfect for our needs.

We were finally greeted and seated by our waiter. He was the star of the place. Super attentive, polite, professional, and patient. The ambiance here is cool. There's indoor seating and outdoor seating. The decor was nice and the place felt clean. No complaints there. The issue was the food. We ordered the hot honey wings, the grilled chicken Cobb, the gilga-burger, the guacamole bacon burger, and the campus burger. None hit the mark. When you walk into a brewery that looks this great, you kind of expect more from the food. The wings didn't have flavor. The burgers had the taste of old grease. It left us all disappointed. Overall, the ambiance was great and our waiter was awesome, but the food left a lot to be desired.

Walked in expecting a normal dinner, immediately realized we had made a tactical error in the best way possible. The place was packed, loud, and had that kind of energy you can't really fake. Solid 10/10 on vibes if you're in the mood for it (and even if you're not, you adjust quickly). Despite being clearly short staffed, the service was impressively good. Not "everything is perfectly on time" good, but "everyone is working hard, communicating, and actually cares" good. They were very upfront and apologetic about the delays, which honestly went a long way. Food came out a bit slower than usual (again, not surprising given the circumstances), but overall I'd put it at a strong 8/10. Nothing overhyped, just well-executed and worth ordering again. I had the classic lager and it was meh. This is very subjective I realize but I'd rate it a 4 or 5/10. All things considered, it could have easily been a frustrating experience walking in on one of the busiest nights of the year, but it wasn't. Credit to the staff for keeping things running and keeping the tone positive. I'd come back, ideally on a slightly less festive evening, but also kind of glad I saw it at full capacity.
