Took my partner here for their birthday and it was just as good as the reviews say. The food was…read moreamazing and the portions were huge. About average price for the amount of food you get. One meal was enough to feed me all day, and the Spanish coffee I got was mixed perfectly. Seats are extremely limited, but the service was super fast so even with a full plate you get in and out comfortably in under an hour. Other reviews mention rude service staff, but my experience was the total opposite. I wish I could've gotten her name to give her a shout-out. :) I do have to mention the lack of parking. There were still empty tables when the parking lot was already completely full. There were maybe eight parking spots altogether, but that would be my only complaint.

I had a, "Select Your Own" omelette with bell peppers, onions, mushrooms and basil. I could barely…read moretaste the basil. Very disappointing in the lack of fresh basil. The bacon was delicious: thick, hot and crispy. The orange juice was very expensive and overpriced. The sunflower toast was barely buttered. The parking lot is very small and I didn't see any close street parking. There are steep stairs to the entrance. The entire place is very small. There was a child screaming and the wait staff wear whatever they wish. Overall, the food was delicious. But, one blueberry pancake cost $11.00 while two pancakes cost $20.00! My breakfast for one cost $39.00!!! I mean, really, $40.00 for breakfast for One Person! And, I had to wait 40 minutes, parking was a big problem and the wait staff looked sloppy and were rude. I don't think this restaurant is worth it.

I know Black Bear has enough choices to keep these guys happy so here we go! We get in and the interior has that bearish theme going like all the Black Bear Diners. Yep, that's cute! We get seated and drink orders taken. I decide on the Patty melt, the other girl on the crew gets the fish and chips and another guy gets some sandwich thing, I forgot what it was called. The food took a little while to come out but we weren't in any rush this time, so no biggie. My patty melt was cooked as ordered, medium and the fries were crispy and hot. The rest of the food looked good and no one was complaining, so that's a good sign. We all munched our food down and left happy. Now, back on the road again ... as the song goes ...

Hands down the best biscuits and gravy I've ever had! And the omelette was dang good too! It's a small place with not a lot of seating but it's definitely worth it to venture in if you're in the area. I wish there was one closer to me. Service was stellar.

It looks a bit small but it's very filling. Husband likes to get the bangers and mash and loves it. The service has been good and friendly every time we've gone and they are extremely dog-friendly. We took our two boys there a few times who aren't used to dining out in public like that. They weren't disruptive (we'd have taken them home and had our stuff to go if they hadn't behaved well) but we let the servers know they weren't dogs who were familiar with being taken out to a dining place and the servers were very accommodating of even making the dogs comfortable and brought out a water dish they kept topped off. Really above and beyond. Could not recommend this place more.

My wife and I happened to be down in Salem for a meeting and decided on getting lunch at Santiam…read moreBrewing. Upon walking in it had a great British pub feel to add to the ambiance. They had a decent beer selection. After deciding what we wanted, I went to the counter to order Scotch Eggs and the Great British Fish and Chips. I was informed that they didn't have any Scotch Eggs. I went back and talked with my wife, and we decided on a pie and I went back to the counter where I was informed that they had no pies. Annoyed, I went back to talk with my wife, and we ordered some sort of bites of which there was a meat option and a vegetarian option. We went with the meat option for all three. After we ordered and we were enjoying our beers, our server came over and said they only had two bites left of meat, so we were forced to have one vegetarian option. I will say both options tasted great! The fish and chips were finally served; it looked great with a crispy batter and perfectly fried fries. The fries tasted great. When we went to have the fish, the batter fell off the fish. Clearly that was a problem, which is too bad because it seemed like it was cooked perfectly. The batter wasn't greasy and the fish was clearly fresh. But we had to eat the batter separately from the fish. It was apparent that the fish was wet when they applied the batter. This is too bad because the fish tasted great and the batter tasted great, but the batter fell right off the fish. This is one of their signature dishes. This was a Monday and clearly they weren't prepared to be open. With no Scotch Eggs, no pies, etc it was disappointing. Our server didn't seem to care that they didn't have most of their menu available. I was excited about this place, but sadly they failed with not having everything on their menu and not being able to correctly prepare their Great British Fish and Chips. Maybe it was an off day, but I don't think we'll be going back.

We went to The Flight Deck restaurant for Fathers Day for 6 people…read more We had a reservation. We had excellent service ice tea was always full even noticed my ice was melted and gave me a fresh glass! Attention to details was obvious and she was very friendly. We had fresh clams, peach boysenberry salad, Ruben, Salmon, fried oysters, and fettuccini Alfredo. All entrees tasted great and the portion sizes were very generous. Most importantly the prices! WOW.....the value of our very large meal for six and drinks entree was very reasonable! Lastly the ambiance was great especially if you enjoy watching aircraft arrive and depart directly in front of the restaurant. 180 degree view is also quite nice as the Willamette Valley views are gorgeous with the mountains as a backdrop! I highly recommend the Flight Deck for casual dinning or even a business lunch. We will definitely return soon and thank you!

Lots of regulars looks and feels Old. The waitress was very nice and took our order. Prime Rib, baked potato, salad, corn bread and a veggie. It didn't take too long. Here's how it went. The corn bread came out first. It was not warm and had probably come out of the fridge about an hour before serving. It wouldn't even melt the butter. The salad was your basic mixed greens with two unpeeled baby carrots a wedge of tomato and thousand island dressing. It was ok. Now the main course the rib was over cooked. I ordered medium and was more med well but it wasn't hot? Also it was very tough. The baked potato was not cooked. They split the thing before the served it so they had to know it was done and they still severed it. My brothers was The same. His meat was the right temp but it wasn't hot not hot and it was tough. The au jus was something I've never seen. It was weak and broken and someone had out liquid smoke in it. Very unpleasant. The broccoli was actually cold to the touch. We told the waitress who was very apologetic and she offered to sub anything. So we both decided to try the masted potatoes instead. They were watery and not warm. Disgusting. I checked Yelp before we went and saw that it was 4 star so I was fairly confident it would be good. Not at all. This place is terrible. If you are expecting bang for you buck try Micky Ds instead.

Everyone is friendly, the atmosphere has a really cool vibe, and I love that if you don't use all the money on your game card, you can save it and come back another time. Even without Area 51 and the quarters, it's still a fun place for a date night and definitely somewhere we'll keep coming back to!

It wasn't crowded when I arrived, around 3 or 4pm. Service was very friendly and relaxed. It had a comfortable, friendly vibe. It seems this place has a lot of regulars, because a couple groups came in after me and were greeted by name. It was Tuesday, which meant the Happy Hour menu was available all day. The prices were quite reasonable, and we got plenty of food. We ordered the Korean Street Tacos, and Curried chicken lettuce wraps and the cheeseburger with hand cut fries. Everything was delicious. The Korean tacos were a nice mixture of fresh veggies and rich meat flavors as well as some heat. The wraps were generously filled with a great classic chicken salad with curry, and had a great crunch. The burger was juicy and rich, was a good size and had a yummy brioche bun. The fries were cooked well and the ranch was creamy with a dilly kick. This was some solid food at a great price. Apparently Tuesday is trivia night, but we left before that started. This is a great place for some great food. I can see why this place has regulars!

Cozy and not too loud. Their specials menu of select food and drinks was nice, but I was a but disappointed to learn that the only non-alcoholic offering was a canned golden beer (and soft drinks, water - haha, per our server). They did have a decent selection of draft beer. I shared that many restaurants are offering mocktails and that they're missing an opportunity there. The table ordered a sampling of the menu; Korean tacos, Caesar salad, Mac & Cheese, Burger and fries, and Lettuce wraps. Drinks included strawberry lemonade, draft beer, wine, and ice tea. The Korean tacos were good, but not excellent. I think the shell could be improved upon, maybe a fried won ton? Maybe some chili sauce on the side? The Caesar salad was very good, but the mac and cheese was bland and disappointing. Overall it seems like they're working through some kinks. The server could've used some help, as he seemed to have the only one working all of the tables. No ketchup on the table for fries or offer of any. A condiment station might help, but the place is relatively small. I'm glad we stopped in and will certainly give it another shot. It's nice to have an affordable family friendly spot in Salem and I wish them the best of luck!
