After being at Matt's on Mississippi a great number of times and trying brisket at every other Bbq place we decided to stop in on a Wednesday at lunch time. I got the brisket plate he got brisket and pulled pork combo. Brisket was taste wise very good. One of the best I have had outside of Texas. Good smoke and came with a side and toast. Not as tender as Matt's but taste wise it was maybe a little better. Coleslaw was good, toast was not really toasted. Overall a great place to get me some brisket if I'm in the Newberg area.

My 28 year Portland resident friend is from Texas, his wife, my self (who lived in Texas for two years) and my wife all had the most wonderful lunch on the way to a winery last week. Brian is a hands on owner and cook for this wonderful and delicious establishment!!!!! Would strongly recommend and will absolutely return!!!!! P.S.

My second visit. I doubt I'll return. The brisket was the fattiest I've ever encountered. I was…read moreembarrassed to have brought friends here. We sent the plates back 3/4 full, (we ate the beans, they were very good) and told the server that we thought the brisket was super fatty. She shrugged and took our plates.

It was the perfect spot for a casual evening out. We had a couple of drinks, a cider and a Japanese lager, and really enjoyed the atmosphere. The musician playing that night was fantastic! He had a great song selection, and his voice was hauntingly beautiful. I'm not a huge barbecue person because I prefer my meals to have a little more variety than just meat, but I did enjoy the brisket and the pork belly. The sides were just okay for me. I'm from the South, where we take our potato salad seriously, so I wasn't the biggest fan of theirs but I did really enjoy the beans and the corn salad. I'll definitely be back for the music, a drink, and the laid-back atmosphere. It's a great place for a casual evening out!

Ordered the pulled pork sandwich which had a 60/40 meat to fat ratio and bun was quite soggy. Corn was not a Mexican street corn but good. Beans were actually the best. If I come back I'd order the brisket and see how that is. Service consists of ordering and paying up front, getting a pager and choose where to sit.

This hardworking couple churns out tender brisket and pulled pork and yummy condiment sides that pairs with that richness perfectly. Their menu is simple and straightforward. The Big Burrito ($15) was HUGE and they definitely did not skimp on the Sampler ($15) either. The 21oz Sparkling Raspberry Refresher was only $3?! And we definitely had leftovers to eat with tortilla chips as nachos (protip) for another snack/meal. Get there early and it's worth the wait!

We ordered one brisket sandwich combo and one pork sandwich combo. Each came with two sides but we only had 3 options so we both opted for baked beans, and then one coleslaw and one Mac n cheese. The owner graciously cut the sandwiches in half and put one half of each type in our containers so we didn't have to that ourselves. The food was hot, fresh, and a very large portion of meat. The brisket was very well seasoned. My husband loved it. For me it was a little too salty. The pork was perfect on every level! She actually knew how to season the coleslaw and that's something Oregon lacks!! Like I told the owner my only complaint is now my husband is going to be a regular there.

I'm really disappointed by our Mother's Day experience at Loam--especially because we've had great…read morevisits here before. We had a 10:45 reservation but ended up waiting outside on the sidewalk for over 40 minutes. We got a couple of "it'll be soon" updates and one offer to sit at a picnic table on the sidewalk. That wasn't an option for my husband's back. And, by that point, it felt like we'd already had the full sidewalk experience! To add to the frustration, we watched a table that would have fit our party turn over and be given to a group that had arrived well after us. Once seated, things didn't improve much. Our daughter has celiac disease, and after talking through options with our server, she ordered a modified breakfast plate. When it arrived, it had two slices of (gluten-full) toast placed right in the middle. We asked for a remake. While we were waiting someone came over to tell us (firmly) that the kitchen isn't dedicated gluten-free. We fully get that, but that's different from putting bread on top of everything on the plate, especially after we'd already discussed the restriction. As I was saying that, the staff member walked away. The interaction felt more like a lecture than the apology that would've been appropriate. The food overall was okay, but not memorable. My husband said the "special" Bloody Mary was the worst he's ever had--memorable, just not in a good way. On the positive side, the gluten-free coffee cake was excellent, and thankfully the company made the day worthwhile. My guess is there may have been an issue with our reservation. We made it in person previously and it was written in a notebook. When we called to confirm the day before, they initially couldn't find it. It felt like it might not have made it into the system, and they were trying to accommodate on the fly once they realized it. If that's the case, a little transparency upfront would have gone a long way--we would have appreciated the option to adjust our plans rather than end up waiting outside for so long. Overall, this felt like a series of misses and mishandled opportunities to improve the experience. It's also an excellent reminder of why I normally steer clear of dining out on holidays.
