Wow!!!!! I would give 6 stars if I could. What an incredible meat restaurant in a small town…read more Recommended through a friend who comes tubing here. Soo much space both indoors and outdoors to sit and eat with friends. We ordered a few drinks, highly recommend the wine flight seen in the pictures, the flaming cheese, complimentary garlic bread, and then the steak! I don't think you can go wrong with any meat but we got the 36 oz steak to split three ways. We got amazing baked potatoes and broccoli as sides plus a lamb chop! Who would have thought you could get that as a side. Excellent! A friend got the rib eye and it was incredible. Honestly we almost came back the next day because it was so incredible. Planning another trip back to get this meal!!!

Probably the worst steak I think I've ever had. Look nothing like the picture, and meat tasted like…read moreit was old and was sitting out for a while . My girlfriend had the fillet and did not taste like a filet at all and was overcooked . My ribeye was not seared and was cooked by what looked like an 18 year old kid wearing basketball shorts who obviously did not know how to cook a steak . The au gratin ​​​ potatoes I took one bite and they sat there the rest of the meal. And for two steaks and a gratin potatoes I think $105 is way overpriced . I seriously went to McDonald's afterwards .

Came up to visit Oregon for some tubing and needed some lunch on the way out. We were intrigued by…read morethe slots in this town so we stopped at Messie's, plus it's a great name. Clearly a local spot, but staff was nice and showed us to the outdoor seating area. We asked what was good on the menu and overwhelmingly she stated the chicken done anyway. Boy was she right. Top chicken tenders I've had! Juicy, crispy, large portions too. My husband got the half chicken which was an insane amount of food while another friend got the quarter chicken. Definitely recommend the quarter for one. Fries, tots, curly or waffle, all excellent. The salad was weak but to be understood. Great deals on hard seltzer 5/$15 and a huge Bloody Mary! Dropping stars because while the signs for wearing a mask are up, there was no evidence anyone even had a mask available. No sanitizer albeit the place seemed clean enough. Bathrooms were not ideal though. They did have stalls set up for the slots... I recommend getting takeout or coming back after covid goes away!

The interior of the building is decorated in a western style, stage coach stop theme. Mainly because if you read the local history on the menu, the building used to be a "Roadhouse" where the stage coach stopped. I found the atmosphere very different for the area and really relaxing. When I was there it wasn't too busy, so I sat at the bar. The owner was there and I was able to chat him up some. He has an interest in a local cold case from 1948 that I also follow. He was a great guy to chat up, extremely friendly. The food here is pretty good. I ordered The Blue Barrel. Basically a bacon cheese burger with hot bleu cheese on it. Per the menu it suggested I put A1 on it per the chef, so I ordered it that way. Man was that good. Huge patty too and it was cooked just right! I really enjoyed the burger. The service was a little off. The lady working the bar would disappear and I would have to ask for things or try to find her. Not a huge selling point especially when there were only a couple of people in the place at the time. I really have to say that I liked this place a lot. I loved the atmosphere, the servers, the owner, the food. It was great. I will definitely be back.

I called the next night thinking no way is anyone going to admit they found $200 cash BUT..Huge shout out to Mike (apparently the owner I had no idea) for putting it in an envelope with my description and being kind enough and most importantly HONEST! enough to return it. ​

My husband ordered the beefsteak sandwich with fries. It was very large and got rave reviews. The sliders were the star of the show. The runner up are the deep fried green beans. Large beans fried until crisp but still tender and juicy inside. Dipped in a side of ranch or ketchup makes a perfect appetizer.

Maxson's Pride of Oregon, a paddle wheel boat, is truly a hidden gem. The friendly crew described…read moreits history--built in 1989 as a replica of the Rosie O'Shea paddlewheeler. A portion of its journey from the shipyard to the Rock River was actually made overland. The interior of the main deck is appointed with attractive woodwork, and there is a bar. The upper deck is open air. Ample seating is provided. This was a lunch cruise and our group was seated and served upon our 11 AM boarding. The quality of the food (catered by Maxson) and service exceeded our expectations. We began with rolls and a generous tossed salad with Italian dressing. Our entrée choices were beef bordelaise, fried catfish, and a vegetarian plate. The fork-tender beef was cloaked in a red wine sauce and the fish, though heavy on the crust, tasted fresh and was greaseless. Our sides were fresh steamed veggies and a twice-baked potato. Chocolate cake was served for dessert. There were pitchers of lemonade and water on the table, and coffee and tea were offered. Our leisurely cruise upriver lasted two hours and ended at 1:30. Travel is limited to a 7-mile-long navigable stretch of the Rock River. Narration was provided at various points of interest. We spotted at least two bald eagles onshore. Just delightful!
