Love this place. Music played but at a comfortable level. Nice people staffing, friendly service, consistently cooked burgers. Note: I'm not a drinker, so our trips here have been for the burgers (which are tasty and huge!) and the chicken fried steak and eggs (which was very good and enough to feed 2 of us AND leave leftovers.) Great locals place. read more

Great place for lunch and staff very friendly. I had a business lunch and it had a nice quiet section.

The Tangent INN is pushing 90 years old, and I love the it for the historical aspect. It is definitely top notch American bar food. Lot's of different types of people, from farmers to bikers and everyone in between. We stopped in for a bite to eat, Karaoke was on the loud speaker and pool balls were being racked. The guests seem to be friendly. Servers were friendly enough too. We ordered a Steak and a Burger. And the fact that the food came out piping hot was incredible. You do not know how many high end places I have gone to where the food is lukewarm. And I LOVE FRESH COOKED HOT food, skillet to table. Everything was delicious, and it would have received 5 stars but my steak was more of a medium even though I asked for medium rare. Great flavor though, spiced well, butter on top was the kicker. I can not say much for the burger, it wasn't mine, but I can tell you, it was gone before I was done. Looked really appetizing too. Did not have any alcohol, only water, but I would go back there again, and you should too. I love supporting local. read more

The food, service, and ambiance are all great. Our bartender Katie treated everyone with warmth and kindness and the general atmosphere was pleasant. We three ordered the famous tangent burger that had a slice of cheddar spilling over in a crunchy cheese lover's treat. Cost of our meal to include a couple of drinks was under $60 however two of us did split our burger. Thanks for a great night. read more

(This is all satire we had a great time) Came here to meet a man about an envelope. Was pleasantly surprised that I left with more than that, good fries, lots of crispy cheese, and great service. No one was concerned with our identities just good food. A lot of under the table deals go on in my life but never have the under tables been so clean! Will be back in the future (or not I'm none of your concern) read more

I went, I ate, and I conquered the Kraken challenge! As my first food challenge, I'm really happy I was able to do it here at the tangent inn. The food was extremely delicious, and the people and their warm, happy interactions seriously made my day! I came in extremely anxious and scared, but the cheers and support I got for challenging this burger really made my day! Everyone was happy and having fun, and I enjoyed every second of the experience! Thank you to all that was here on July 2nd, 2021! read more

I'm giving a two because the service is good. The food sucks though. This is a breakfast review, the bacon is paper thin deep fried it had grease pooling on top of it, hash browns are also deep fried more grease on plate, the biscuit was cold not fresh the gravy cold needs some flavor my husbands toast not even toasted. Coffee cold, put cream it was old and made lumps. Everything was cold. Even the building. One cook came out standing by kitchen door eating something I hope he washed, there was another older woman in and out of the kitchen eating at the end of the bar coughing a lot. If you're going to sell food do it based upon serving high quality good food. This was a huge disappointment. read more

My grandma owns this restaurant and this places workers are kind the food is delicious perfect for a date really kind 5 stars in my opinion

Food is good but but their prices are not. They charge for take-out orders and a ridiculous fee to use a credit card. Not aware of any other tavern or restaurant that charges you a fee. I used to enjoy going there but in my opinion it has lost it's friendly home town feel it once had. Feels more like a corporation now. read more

Very good place to eat, we ate there a month ago. Our waitress was very friendly and did a great job serving the food was good ,as well

I use to work there.. bartend and cocktail.. it's been thru a few owners but overall nice place with outdoor venue.. beautiful in the summer to have a beer and sit on the back patio surrounded by green trees and fresh air.. Tangent Oregon is a chill area.. not a whole lot of drama .. good place to have a drink after a long day of sun and fun! Super laid back.. read more

So, I upgraded to 5 stars for soft Taco Tuesday. However returning for dinner I ordered the elk sliders and was excited I grew up eating elk. Let me just say it is a shame that poor elk died for these. I was starving I ate half of the first of two and it was so dry I had to wash it down with my soda. The 2nd was burned black, how in good conscious can you serve something like this to people? No pride or ownership of your product is clearly demonstrated at the Dixie. Now that I think about it, it was the dinner hour, and we were the only fools eating. Smart locals, drinks good food bad! read more

Such a shame that a restaurant has decided it's more important to be political than it is to actually produce good food with good service. Food was over cooked and greasy. Drinks were warm and service was well, poor is being kind. Their market seems to be the local dueling banjo crowd. read more

Was great bar and food excellent. Cook had popped out of kitchen and since we were at the bar we asked if he had any day special. Described and awesome burger with avocado and aioli and cooked them medium rare. Perfection. Would definitely go back if in the area. Jake read more

If you want to get waited on forget it. They totally ignore you. 3 people at the bar, owners playing the poker machines and the bartender pretending like we weren't there. Waited 10 full minutes before walking out. It won't let me give 0 stars or I would read more

The food was very good. My wife got a burger and it had this huge "skirt" of melty fried cheese on it. I got the pastrami and they were both very good. A nice surprise in rural Oregon. read more

Outdoor covered seating adn great food and beer on tap give an oasis in a small town in COVID extreme times. Fire pit in back under cover to take chill off read more

What a wonderful find. I'll admit that I was very skeptical about going to a bar. From the outside of the building this place looks like a dive. Inside was AWESOME!! It was very clean and organized. There was no cigarette or old stale smell. The custom made tables and bar was a nice addition. The staff was nice and helpful. There was a lot to choose from on the menu and they have daily specials. The food was great. The portions were pretty big and we weren't able to finish everything. The prices felt reasonable for the quality and quantity. I'll definitely be back. read more

If you have the appetite, you must try the Tangent Burger. Truly a knife and fork sandwich. This is also the only place in the Albany area to get steak fingers, which I love. Homemade fries and home made fry sauce. Awesomeness abounds. read more

First time here on a Saturday afternoon. Place was packed, and more peple came in after us. Service was good, especially considering how busy they were and the food was fresh and tasty. Would definitely return. read more

Went once a couple years ago for dinner and the burger was absolutely terrible, didn't plan on going back but heard they had a decent breakfast now so figured I'd give it a shot. Not terrible, but not good either, says hashbrowns on the menu, wasn't hashbrowns but frozen potato squares that weren't even cooked all the way, gravy was meh, eggs were fine and the chicken steak fingers were ok. Wasn't terrible but I won't be eating there again. read more

Be careful where you sit outside... my bar stool fell through a gopher hole and I hit my head on a something metal (a jack maybe) and my shoulder and tailbone... many bruises and probably should've had my head checked out. The owner responded with we can't keep up with the gophers, we probably shouldn't have these stools out here and I'll comp your next round. Ordered jalapenos poppers which were still frozen, asked for tots instead which were great. When paying the owner had not informed the bartender of the comped drink. I really thought it was all handled very poorly even for a local dive bar. read more

Went here with my aunt's and uncles today. The waitress was very friendly and made recommendations Food portions are very big And everyone was pleased with the flavors. We ordered a variety of burgers including the Tangent burger, pastrami burger, jalapeno popper burger and a chili burger. I want to come back and try the breakfast (it's a good menu) and want to see this place succeed. The only negative is one plate needed a reheat and the server had to be flagged down so we could order (most people don't need that much time to decide). I definitely recommend this place. Oh and the atmosphere is quite cozy. read more

This place serves up a good cheeseburger! It's a no frills sort of place. Minors allowed in half the establishment and a bar occupies the other half. Pleasant staff. No kids menu but the apps are well priced and there's a pizza on the menu that my kids split. The pizza crust is just fried up cheese with toppings. I was also pleasantly surprised that with all the cheese the food wasn't dripping in grease. read more

Squeaky clean roadhouse with friendly staff and good, cheap bar food. The Tangent Burger was a glorious sight to behold and almost as good to eat. The fries could be crisper, should be. Beer prices are fair. We will be back. read more

Went there again. Came in at 4 and had descent service, then she got off and the service went down hill. Sat here for over an hour and half and nobody came to check on are table at all. I had to go up to the bar and ask for a box. I really wish service was much better. When I don't have my husband with us service really really sucks. I hope one day the service will be better Was here for the first time and waited over 15 minuets to get served and there was maybe 10 people in the whole place. The bartender was to busy talking on read more

The food is amazing, the staff is all friendly. You never leave hungry! Their tangent burger is delicious, and their appetizer tacos with the cheese shell. Mmmm read more

This place has improved a lot since it was the Dixie Creek. Food is awesome well worth the money. I highly recommend this place. Just check out the other reviews and you will see that I tell no lies! Glad that the PNW crew met here now I've been introduced to an awesome restaurant bar! Check this place out and bring a group! read more

I moved to Tangent end of June and drive by this place every single day to and from work. I want to stop Everytime to grab a drink. Finally, since football was on today and I needed a Broncos fix, me with no TV, got the chance to go! Grabbed a couple beers, some hot wings, sat at the bar with a TV. It is super adorable on the inside. The bartender was amazing. Wings were pretty dang good, cheep beer. I'll be back for taco Tuesdays! And live music on Fridays. :) I'll be back. read more

Little off the beaten path, if you're freeway driving, which we were. But a great find. Ordered a chicken sandwich (forget the name of it, something mustard), was freaking huge. Very tasty. Wife ordered a French dip, likewise very generous portion. She had cold slaw, which she liked. I had "tots," that spent a bit too long in the fryer. A little too crispy for my taste. Service was prompt and attentive. Definite recommend for the price. read more

Really good burger, the melted cheese skirt is a real thing! The tots were good and crispy, wife's fries were a little soggy but the potential is there. Really good and worth the drive! read more

The food is delicious and the staff are very friendly. They were super helpful and accommodating.
