Stopped into Gilgamesh Brewing while traveling for work and completely forgot it was St. Patrick's…read moreDay. 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.

My partner and I stumbled upon Ovenbird Bakery when driving through Independence, Oregon this…read moresummer. The charming bakery is located on the main strip downtown, and is loaded with character! There was a couple playing chess on one of the bistro tables out front, and two elderly gentlemen having a lively conversation about local politics. This is just my scene! We ordered a marionberry danish and a sugar cookie, both of which were fresh, delicious and well-priced. The staff were super friendly and offered us a sample of freshly-baked dog treats for our pug Penelope, who we had in tow. Ask the bakers about their recent visit from Abraham Lincoln, it will make for a fun story and laugh. I hope you decide to visit this gem of a bakery, and tell your friends about it too!

This is my go-to when I need lunch for a staff meeting, baked goods for a special event, and/or just a yummy snack. Here's what we've had AND highly recommend: Chocolate cupcakes Lemon cupcakes ANY deli sandwich on their made-fresh-daily focaccia bread. (you're welcome) Scones (All flavors, but my favorites are the hazelnut chocolate chip & the maple & the lemon flavors) Hubby loves all the danishes (esp. the berry ones) This place is a little gem in town that shouldn't be missed. Enjoy!

The food is made fresh every meal and the taste shows it! It feels very homemade with a hint of business, if that makes sense? The service is great, with it being small the fear may be too little staff to stretch all responsibilities however, based on our experience they communicate and flow seamlessly together as a team! If you're looking for a good, welcoming, and comforting breakfast this is the place! With even sweet treats available!

Would recommend for coffee, working remote, lunch or drinks with friends. Great place to call your own and become a regular.

THe seating area was great, with a roof providing shade but still allowing for fresh air. Service was very friendly and very attentive. I ordered the Bacon Cheddar burger and my companion went with the Cowboy Philly Sandwich, both with fries. The Bacon Cheddar burger was great. A thick beef patty was paired with bacon and cheddar. The sauce was a nice, creamy 1000 island. It was rich and messy. The fries were good too. The brioche bun was soft and rich; it held up nicely. The Cowboy Philly Sandwich was an interesting combination of beef brisket, pepper jack cheese, grilled onions and red peppers. The sauce was a chipotle mayonnaise. There was slaw on the side. I just had a bite, but it all tasted good and went together well. This is a solid place for a good breakfast or lunch/dinner with great service.

The restaurant itself is tucked away by the Independence Airport with a casual dining environment and views of the runway. We were a group of 7 and were attended to really well. About 4 of us ordered pancakes and we would've been fine if 2 of us only had. The only thing that was a bummer was 2 or 3 of the pancakes were super hard in the middle so we weren't sure if they'd been frozen and rewarmed or just had a pancake batch that wasn't fully mixed. The cinnamon roll is also too much for one person to eat alone so be mindful of that. It wasn't very appealing from the look of it but we wanted to try it. Probably wouldn't order it again but if you're sharing amongst people give it try. The omelet was a fan favorite at the table so we'd definitely recommend that!
