We went to Wings and Waves waterpark and went to look for a bite to eat. This adorable place was closing, but their food was great and it's sad to see good places close. Thanks a lot Trump! Hope the owners open something in the future! read more

We were headed through town and stopped for an early dinner and oh my! The food was delicious! I got a pork belly banh mi and my husband got the fish tacos. The pork belly was flavorful, tender in the inside and crispy edges. Had a nice amount of veggies also. The fish tacos were moist and tender. We also grabbed a sangria and Arnold Palmer. The sangria was refreshing in a hot, summer's day. It was a bit quiet so we were greeted and seated immediately. It has a lot of places to sit, and a large window that lets in plenty of natural light. Our server was friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be back if we're in the area again! What a lovely place! read more

Absolutely fantastic food that I was pleasantly surprised to find in Yamhill County. The service is excellent. This place could be competitive in the big city but for Lafayette it absolutely exceeds expectations. Highly recommended. read more

All of the 5 star reviews that drew me here were exactly right. This is a great place to eat! Get the cheesy bread. Everything else was fresh and delicious but start with the cheesy bread and the amazing marinara that accompanies it. read more

I have been in many times and have yet to have a meal I have been unhappy with. Small menu, but nicely executed. Pizza and tacos are my favorites. Not a fancy place, but comfortable and welcoming, with solid food. Can't ask for more than that! read more

Today purchased lasagna ! Yum. Kitchen too hot to cook? Consider Hamblin in Lafayette. I also got my usual Margarita Pizza for later. We love this place so close to home! Chef kiss to Hamblin read more

Tacos and pizzas... What more could you ask for? After driving by this restaurant for years I went there the other night and had a nice cold IPA with lasagna and garlic bread. It was absolutely delicious. The owner and the staff were super nice folks too. Definitely going to head back and try other items on the menu soon. Definitely worth checking out. read more

Loved our first experience here today. Delicious crisp salad and baked Italian sausage in marinara and topped with the perfect amount of fresh melted mozzarella cheese. Fast friendly service was excellent and so appreciated. Thank you We will definitely be back! read more

The last time I used Yelp to find lunch in McMinnville, I was very disappointed in my choice. However, this time my fellow yelpers redeemed themselves in spades! The atmosphere is very casual, clean, and comfortable without any pretension. The food offered is a good selection of pizza, pasta, and tacos. The wine list is all local, which is a nice touch. We had cheesy bread, Caesar salad, fettuccine Alfredo, and fish tacos with lemonade and a glass of wine for roughly $65 including tip. I haven't experienced value like this in a long time! Everything was delicious. Well, the lemonade could use improvement, but I'll give them a pass on that. I'm surprised to find such good pasta at a little place like this. There's just nothing to criticize. Good food. Good service. Good value. read more

Great food and wine/beer options. Service was excellent and our pizza and spaghetti were delicious! And don't forget about dessert! Flan was delicious and not overly sweet! We'll definitely be return customers. read more

Wonderful Napolitano style pizza. The 14" pizza was $18. What!? This is like pre-COVID prices. Given how pizza prices have doubled in the past few years, we were nervous as to to quality. We ordered the combo, minus olives and salami. They nicely added more of the other toppings without us asking. The pizza tasted great! We finished half and reheated the rest for dinner. It still tasted great. Since we're in Pinot Noir country, we ordered a couple of glasses to go with. Who knew they would pair so well with pizza? We liked the fact they had local wines, as that is what we want when we are in a wine producing area. Service was friendly and attentive. read more

2nd time eating here, takeout... I'd do it house but I'm scared of taking my toddlers into polite society eating lol... We had fish tacos/steak tacos/banh mi sandwich.. first of all, their meat is incredible... the steak melted in your mouth and not over/under cooked just perfect .. and the fish tacos are packed! I didn't get to try their banh mi cause I'm still super full from splitting the two taco orders with my man, but he had half of the banh mi (which they separated and wrapped, thank you!) And he told me it was the most delicious sandwich he ever had *swoon".. I will say their tacos maybe needed double tortillas to capture all that deliciousness, but the tarter sauce... I need buckets of everyday all day on everything I eat from now on ... This place is amazing Show some love! read more

Their menu has something for everyone. Fish tacos are delicious and reasonably priced. Good beer & wine selection. Did not try any dessert. Recommend. read more

Always a winner! Great food! Great service--love these people! Fun atmosphere! Lunch or dinner. Nice beer selection too.

We have to go here every month. Love this place. Have only gotten take out. I get the meatball sub and hubby gets the Italian. Great rolls. Quality ingredients. Can't beat their sandwiches. read more

My husband stopped here and told me we needed to come back, which we've done 4 times. The food is delicious. We've had pasta (the spaghetti sauce is amazing), steamer clams, lasagna, pizza, and fish tacos. Every bite reminds us why we love it here. The service is top notch. Tonight I asked about a couple of wines and their Temperanillo recommendation for my spaghetti was perfect. A great hidden gem in Yamhill County! read more

Wow. Just, WOW! I don't know what I was expecting but Hamblin Eatery knocked our socks off! Killer fish tacos with housemade sauces (I'll be craving that Smokey Mole sauce!) and a roast beef sandwich that was like a French Dip and a Philly Steak had a beauty-queen baby. That baby might be the actual key to world peace. Do I need to mention also a fantastic beer and wine selection and a fantastically artsy setting? Just go. Thank me later. read more

We were just visiting the area and stumbled across this place. While the service was a little slow and we were the only customers, the food was good. Our server was very friendly as well. read more

We stop by to have lunch here, looked it up on yelp for fish tacos. The service was excellent, it was a little cold but they were just opening up. We had their rock fish tacos and pork belly tacos. Both were excellent, the fish was perfectly cooked. We will definitely be back and bring my dad, it's definitely a family ran business, we love supporting the local business owners. read more

We ate here a while back and gave them a detailed rave review. I don't want to override that review but I'd like to have a recent review. This place is amazing and we're trying to figure out where they aren't packed! It is Thursday... But still, the quality of the food here is insane. We would happily pay twice as much at a white tablecloth setting or a beachside setting. We had the shrimp fettuccini and the blackened rockfish fettuccini. Both were magnificent. They make their own pasta and everything is delicious and tastes so fresh. If you haven't been here yet you need to come! Next time we're going to try some pizza. They have a very interesting pizza menu and we can't wait to try some! I may have said that last time but when we got here and saw the pasta menu again... Well, you know how that went... read more

Not to take anything from Lafayette, but this place really stands out. Hopefully it sets the stage for others to follow. Very attractive building. Comfortable, airy interior with original art work on display. Unfortunately for them, not another soul in there on a Saturday at noon, but see they opened in 2020 and managed to hang on thru the pandemic. Small menu of pizzas, sandwiches and tacos. Prices have gone up $2-$3 per item from those shown on Yelp photos, no different than most places trying to survive. Ordered the steak sandwich ($16) and small Margherita pizza ($12.) Generous portions, wonderfully prepared and really, really good. read more

Great little place. All the food we tried ( party of 8, so we tried a lot) was very good. Their homemade tomato-based sauce is out of this world. Their steamed clams were perfectly cooked with a flavorful broth. Their meatballs were a bit dense but when you smothered them in that magic tomato sauce, it was all good. Service started out very good but slowed down when they got slammed by the dinner rush. Very understandable. We are going again tonight. The granddaughter wants lasagna. read more

Wonderful very tasty food from an eclectic menu. Service is friendly and attentive. The fish tacos are fabulous as are the pizzas.

One doesn't expect such a fantastic dining experience in the small town of Lafayette, Oregon but I'll be darned. Best fish tacos I can recall and I've had a lot of good ones. My hubby had a hamburger, perfectly grilled. The glass of wine from a local winery was perfect. Service was friendly and fast. Truly a lovely surprise! read more

Had an amazing lunch at Hamblin Eatery today. I was passing thru town on business and thought I would stop in for a quick bite. Had an amazing roast beef sandwich that was amazing! Service was great...clean environment and cozy. I will be back and recommend others to stop by! read more

AMAZING service and very friendly staff. The food is out of this world! The pork belly tacos are packed with flavor and the pork is crispy but melts in your mouth. Never tasted anything like it. Their Caesar salad is homemade and delightful and the Thai pizza is a must have. We also ordered the rock fish tacos are they were super fresh and very delicious. Highly recommend this place to anyone in search of great food! read more

Hamblin Eatery - Thai Chicken Pizza - American Near Me - Lafayette, Oregon

This was a pleasant little surprise. We were passing through Lafayette looking for a quick lunch when we spotted the sign on an older (but renovated) brick building. It was toss up between this place and the Mexican place next door. We chose well. The owner is very friendly and explained that they "opened" on April 1st in the middle of the pandemic. They have overcome that shitty luck. When you walk in you order at the back. At first blush I was expecting a typical taco cart menu which would have been just fine. We ordered a BLT (with avocado) and steak tacos. The owner's admonishment to "save room for dessert" was cute but kind of silly (it was 1 pm). We were in for a surprise when the food showed up. This isn't "taco cart" food. The three steak tacos were made with some of the best sliced beef I've ever had. (As an aside as we left they had a delivery from Carlton meats). The tacos had two very good sauces which was so good I was dipping chips in them. The BLT came on a baguette bun and was loaded with avocado. When we finished our meals the owner brought us a sample platter of 4 types of flan. Clearly she wasn't kidding about saving room for desert. That was the best selection of flan I've ever had. As we left the owner invited us to a wine tasting on Saturday. She also tried to give us glasses of ice for our bottled sodas. This place is way better than it had a right to be. I can't wait until they get a chance to operate outside of the confines of a pandemic. read more

One of the things I love best about northern Willamette Valley is that it's hard to find a bad meal anywhere and Hamblin Eatery is no exception. We were just looking to get a quick lunch on our way back to do yardwork on our property and just happened to pass by and liked the look of the building. Was expecting a quick-serve deli and a basic menu but this place offers so much more. The interior is really cute with gorgeous wood tables and beautiful local artwork. The service is friendly and we enjoyed speaking with the owner who let us know they just opened a year ago. But the star of the show was definitely the food. I ordered the pork belly tacos and my boyfriend ordered a pizza. We were expecting a decent, passable version of each but they were each one of the best meals we've had this whole trip! My pork belly was super tender and succulent and the taco was perfectly built. And my boyfriend said his pizza was one of the best he's ever had. Kudos to Hamblin Eatery - I'm sure they'll be blowing up very soon! read more

This I'd really great food and service. We ordered fettuccine chicken. Also pizza. Both were excellent

Friendly, fast service. Exceptional fish tacos. Clams were fairly spicy, but not too much, tomato, wine, garlic sauce. Looking forward to trying more from this little place. Also loved the soothing, and pleasantly odd music playing softly read more

Hamblin Eatery is one of a kind restaurant here in Lafayette which is just a 10 minute drive away from downtown McMinnville. I ate the Porkbelly Tacos with my appetizer being the cheesy bread which were both phenomenal. I highly recommend driving over and giving this place a try a 5/5 from me! read more

The Hamblin Eatery is great restaurant with consistently good food, and service. For the quality of food being served Hamblin's pricing is very reasonable. It is one of the best dining values I have come across in a long time! Things I would recommend on the menu: Caesar salad. Their homemade dressing is wonderful and it's a very large portion easily feeds two adults. Lasagna. Their sauce is great and the portion size is perfect Alfredo: home made and delicious Baked Meatballs: homemade, large portions and delicious Chicken wings: I always get the mango habanero wings. They are delicious and not super spicy so don't be afraid. They have many other flavors, but I have only tried these. Sub sandwiches: bread taste homemade or at least locally baked with generous portions of meat and toppings. Delicious! read more
