5 Stars for Mac's Bar & Grill - Pendleton, OR After eyeballing Mac's Bar & Grill for a few weeks, we finally stopped in, and total satisfaction achieved! Our waitress (the young lady with long black hair) was incredibly friendly, attentive, and fast. Excellent service from start to finish. My husband ordered the Brisket French Dip--rich, flavorful, perfectly tender-- and paired with French fries that were crispy to perfection. I had the Chicken Ranch Quesadilla with fries as well, and wow... our taste buds were taken to a whole new level! He enjoyed a cold beer on tap, while I sipped on a delicious Bloody Mary, such a perfect pairing with the meal. The food was well-seasoned, generously portioned, reasonably priced, and absolutely hit the mark. This bar-and-grill experience checked all the boxes. I highly recommend stopping by for a lunch date or kicking back with family and friends. Huge thanks to the chef for the amazing food, and special recognition to our waitress; she truly deserves employee of the month! We will definitely be back for more! read more

Such an amazing place. Me and my friends stop here every time we go up to Washington. The food is always great. The service is friendly and fast. The inside is very well-kept. Pendleton is such a hidden gem of a city. Definitely recommend checking this place out. read more

Good Drinks, Good Food, Great Menu, lots of sports tv to watch or gamble if you want ~ friendly hometown service

So I have given this place a pass 3 times or different issues and not made a negative post ( bad service and cold food) But recently we had a small group of 5 came in 730 on a Friday not a slow time for any bar/grill so was not expecting so fast service bit was 20 minutes before taking a drink order and waitress rolled her eyes when we said we would like drinks before placing our food order 10 minutes and 2 of the drinks came wrong. Didn't say a word amd order couple apps and one sandwich not a huge food order but the group was out drinking and just munching anyways 1 app never came and what did come was not good at all. read more

Food was 10/10 - hot, fresh, and flavorful. It's not often that you find a place that makes a perfect steak. Service was great as well - they were fast and attentive. Great appetizer options, as well as menu options - it's not overwhelmingly large. I will definitely be returning. read more

I ordered a four piece chicken basket I live about 3 1/2 four minutes away up the hill. It's 100° outside when I got I opened my box. My chicken strips look great. My onion rings are over, battered, thick and soggy oil when I called the did not way to make it right. She told me I would have to come back down the hill right now to come and get my order of onion rings replaced or me the dollar up charge after I just paid $14 for a basket and that was the only way she could take care of me horrible service and I will never be back. Do not order the earrings to go or anything to go if you want it fixed unless you have time to come back down and get it done right now cause I will not take care of you read more

I have been to Macs quite a few times. Every time I have received excellent service, food has always been good and they have clean bathrooms! This has become one of my favorite places yo eat when I come to Pendleton. read more

I had the ribeye and prime rib they were both very nice, the staff is energetic and pleasant which is a plus. The food is pretty good they did mess up my steak one time but no one is perfect read more

We had a great late night rib eye steak and prime rib dip sandwich. We also had these amazingly delicious doughy pretzel larva. . They were served with beer cheese and they are delicious!! We even dipped them in the prime rib au jus. Service was okay, lots of unbussed tables so seat selection was limited. Would recommend, and definitely stop in when traveling thru Pendleton. read more

I recently visited Mac's Bar & Grill in Pendleton, Oregon while participating in the Pendleton Motorcycle Rally with some friends. While there my friends and I decided to eat at Mac's Bar & Grill. What a great, serendipitous, idea!! We had a very nice, knowledgeable, friendly server that helped us to decide on our dinner choices. I don't remember how we started discussing Mac's barbecue sauce, but we tasted some and all four of us LOVED it! The sauce starts out tangy and tasty and without realizing it, becomes a bit spicy! The spice level seems to escalate the more I ate it. I ordered the spicy cheese curds on the advice of another motorcycle rider I talked to earlier in the day. The spicy cheese curds were INCREDIBLE, especially with the barbecue sauce! Then for my entrée I went with the Alaskan King Salmon and I requested the salmon to be covered with the barbecue sauce. Best decision I could have made! The sauce added a nice flavor profile that made the salmon some of the best I ever ate! So, long review short, if you have the chance to eat at Mac's Bar & Grill in Pendleton, OR... do it! Also, if you like spicy food, even just a little, try the barbecue sauce! read more

Had the burger, which was massive and well prepared. The service was courteous and prompt even with our large party. The ambiance was chill, reasonable noise level and clean. read more

I've been here twice and both times were poor. It seems the waitresses are pissed the second you walk in. Not sure why. This time-our adult (25 years old) children were hassled about their ID tonight. I just don't understand . I think her name is Cassidy. Not sure pointing your finger at guests is in the training manual. I would like to say I'd go back--but no. Kind of a bummer . read more

That was an unexpected surprise. Clean and orderly, plenty of seating, family friendly, logical progression of service, knowledgeable waitress, greeted at the door. Food was not top tier, but it's a sports bar, so it exceeded expectations. Onion rings were OMG. Fried pickles were definitely a good choice. Good varied menu, seems to be a local favorite spot. All in all, a good choice, all the correct smells, flavors, and visuals. Good choice for a casual date, meeting friends, business team lunch. read more

The server was nice and friendly. We both got prime rib and we both ordered medium rare but they came out with over half well well done and the middle medium. The meat was very tough and I couldn't eat much of it because it was just too tough. My husband didn't have much potatoes but mine had a ton. His had only a 1/4 of the amount I had. We told the server and she just laughed and told him to eat some of mine. My husband a couple years ago had the prime rib there and it was really good. Maybe the quality of meat went down. We just won't be coming back and will find somewhere else in town to go. The whole plate was lacking flavor. read more

Food was excellent. Hubs had the French Dip sandwich with sweet potato fries. Both were very good. I had the wings (hot) and a small basket of fries. I have to tell you that I usually have to salt fries but these were tasty without extra salt. Not sure what spice mix they use but they were excellent! Wings were yummy, cooked perfectly - crunchy outside - tender & juicy inside. Our server was awesome. Friendly, efficient and kept on top of refills for my iced tea. Great place. Definitely will be back! read more

Super good food. I had the Hawaiian rice bowl. For bar food I was shocked. Definitely a good spot in Pendleton

Needed a pitstop on a road trip and the policeman who pulled us over recommended this place. Boy he sure got it right! We both had steak, and we both were very happy with the results. Ever so slightly burns crispy edges and rare in the center just as we asked for. Bravo to the chef! Our server was also friendly and attentive. read more

To start, I have to say I may be spoiled from the food of the portland area and my expectations may be high. So.... the review of the chicken Alfredo was bland and the chicken chewy. The chicken fried steak dinner was OK but I've had much better. The carrot cake was good but the chocolate lava cake was the worst. It was hard very dry could hardly chew it and there definitely wasn't any "lava". Plus both of these desserts were very small for the heavy price tag. I wish I could share a video of me hammering the cake on my plate to show how hard it was. They do have some good foods but you may have to hunt to find what you like. read more

Mac's Bar & Grill - Very small HARD Lava Cake - Bars Near Me - Pendleton, Oregon

The Hotel clerk at the Hampton Inn told us about this place, that it was a good location to eat dinner. Everything here was great, the drinks, staff and the decor. But the one thing that lost it a star was the fact that the food arrived cold and I mean cold. The waitress so concerned and fixed things immediately and way above what we had expected, major kudos to her and the management. Definitely a place to return to next time we roll through town. Again, even though they took our issue in hand with great respect, I have to kill a star just due to the fact that the kitchen staff even let the orders go out in that manner...sorry. read more

Very tasty hamburgers love them like them all service was very good you can watch a game an a many of there tvs

We stopped in when my daughter was playing softball with the college. She love the ribs we don't like the size. They are mini riblet size. It's not a whole rack. It is a quarter of the size of what a rack ribs should be. Prices were a little bit above what a small town restaurant should charge It's definitely a bar with food. I only gave them three stars for the flavoring of the little bit of meat that was on the ribs. read more

This was our first time here and we will be back. I had the prime rib sandwich and my wife had the ribeye. Very good food. Price was a big high but you get what you pay for. read more

I always forget about Macs when we go to dinner and so tonight we decided to go and take our granddaughter. we both ordered the prime rib cooked medium and when it finally arrived it was cooked Well done and it was dry, fatty and tough. My granddaughter got the quesadilla And they were hard and dry. our Waitress was very nice. so I was very disappointed and probably won't go back. read more

We're staying in Pendleton on our way to Eastern WA and needed somewhere to stop for dinner. Glad we chose Mac's! We ordered the fish and chips, fried pickles, and chicken strips. The food was great (especially loved the fries!), and the service was just as good! If we ever come through town again, we'll definitely come back! read more

Want to love this place, but it's so inconsistent. Been stopping by for almost a decade and the food can be great, but I'm repeatedly disappointed by my order coming incorrect or the size of the chicken breast/burger pattie. Seriously just decide if you want to be a dive or charge a few bucks more per meal for quality/consistency. Get your cooks in line. Done with this place for a while. read more

I've tried Mac's multiple times hoping that maybe I'd get good food at least once but everything single time I have ever gone here the food is trash read more

Get here, get here now!! I am at the end of a 5,400 mile road trip from the Seattle area to Tyler, Texas and this fell into the Top 3 Restaurants and Meals I have had on this trip! Huge portions at reasonable prices! You won't leave hungry and maybe not eat till later in the week! Try the BBQ Bloody Mary!! read more

Great prime rib dinner. Also, salmon dinner was delicious. Had the best waiter ever, very attentive, friendly, and helpful! Very reasonably priced as well. Will definitely return. read more

We ordered wings here and then told us 2 hours later they told us we ran out so we order something else and it took them an hour extra to give us our food then the next week we go again to see better service then as we went to check out the lady told me and my friends that we didn't pay for the wings last time when we didn't even order wings last time because they ran out bad service and worse attitude given ever read more

There are times in our lives were we create behaviors that become a staple in our weekly or regional travel routines. Mine is a walk, a walk to discover the undiscovered in the towns I travel to. Tonight's walk led me to a sign "Mac's Bar and Grill" and it didn't let me down. I took my seat at the bar and was immediately intrigued by the beers on draft. Although not as vast as what I'm am use to, their selection was diverse and on point. I had a Bruce Lee Porter from Prodigal Son Brewery, local and delicious. I then was driven to my purpose of the walk and dove into the menu. Pulled Pork, Burgers, Wings, Rueben, French Dip or should I behave and go for one of the 4 salads? Choices, choices, choices and exactly what should be expected from a bar and grill. I personally went for the Pulled Pork Sandwich with Tots. I place my order, ordered another Bruce Lee Porter and my food arrived. I was instantly impressed at the portion and quality of the food. My first bite was into a properly seasoned tot and it was on point. I continued by slicing the Pulled Pork Sandwich in-half and was instantly looking for napkins, as this sandwich split at the seam. After properly prepping myself I took a bite and this pulled pork sando satisfied. I must profess that whenever I try a new restaurant and see a pulled pork sandwich on the menu, it is my restaurant food barometer. How is the flavor? Is it house pulled? Is it house roasted/smoked? Boom, boom, boom!!! This pulled pork satisfied each. Flavor: sweet with a little spice. House pulled: Ummmm yes, there was effort here. No large chunks and unwarranted pieces of fat. House Roasted/Smoked: honestly I am not sure, but I'm leaning on the roasted side. Either way it was moist and flavorful. On top of that, properly dressed with fresh coleslaw. Needless to say, I was stoked and for 10 bucks, seriously excited. After getting a picture for the food, let's talk ambiance, if this is what your looking for. Let's just say if a 50s Diner crashed into a Bar & Grille, you would have Mac's! With the timely rumble of the trains passing to the south and the Pendleton Round-Up Grounds to the north, this place has a little bit of energy. This energy is not missed with the service at Mac's. Although strapped with a large bar section, Kyle (bartender) was attentive at the bar, while still tending with his tables. He was running the vast majority of the night, but never failed to check in with me at the bar. Having worked in the restaurant industry, I understand that it is very difficult to tend bar and wait on multiple tables, at the same time. Kyle tended to all of us in an professional manner. I am thoroughly satisfied that this walk for the undiscovered turned up with Mac's Bar & Grill. Cheers! Oh and on a locals tip given to me at the bar tonight: "Rueben"! read more

I was told your food was excellent so we decided to try their Fish & Chips & the Chicken Strips , my wife and I were both disappointed in the product the Fish & Chips was definitely oily unedible the french fries were overcooked along with the Chicken strips.The order was to go and we were missing some items from the order. We will not frequent this place again, it may be a good place for young crowd but its definitely nothing but bar food at best. Glenn & Judy read more

They need to refreshed on ID laws only bar in town that wont except my CDL ID, or my Washington ID that yes they will say it was expired but it still qualifies as an ID three months after expiring or if it has a punch hole and yes, indeed they don't have to qualify as an idea, but it is not and it won't take paper copies from Oregon the fact I just got in Oregon and waiting for it in the mail will never be back as well as friends and fam and my works after after ruddly doing this in front of the whole place for every one to know and will be posting the name of the employee tomorrow morning on here.so everyone that wants to disagree with me and say I don't know how bartending and hosting goes well I do. I have my Oregon food handlers, and Oregon liquor license. And have been a bar tender so there's reason to believe me on my experience there a I hope y'all have a better experience there. If you do indeed ignore this review. And go there. read more

Good food and so many tv's! This place has it all! Really a great sports pub experience. Staff was friendly and helpful. The menu is much more than burgers and fried food. Good food for a family meal or a beer and burger with the guys. read more

Spicy Sriracha burger was solid. Served up with smiles and good service. Drinks had a strong pour, and the place is perfect for kicking back and lying about all the fish you didn't catch on the Umpqua that day...Cheers read more

First and foremost, I want to compliment them on their excellent service! The young waitresses were so attentive, and so friendly! I would go back just to be served by them! Great job girls! The fries were seriously SO good, and so were the burgers and Philly sandwich. Giving four stars instead of five because my prime rib dinner wasn't the best. Green beans were bland, and prime rib was really tough! read more

They told me I didn't pay for my wings last time I went, but I don't even eat the wings when I go.....where yo mom at Mac's

If you're on a low salt diet, skip this place! You'll have hypertension before you finish your meal. We stopped in here after reading some of the more positive reviews on another site. It was in the middle of the afternoon, on a weekday, and there were a total of two tables filled and one person sitting at the bar. We chose our seat and the waitress brought our drinks quickly. We placed our order and food came out lickity-split. I had ordered a french dip sandwich. It had a small portion of meat on a hard roll, a little cheese, and a side of tots. The Au Jus tasted like straight beef bullion cubes. It was like dumping salt in your hand and licking it straight from the palm with a salt chaser instead of tequila. I wasn't able to finish the sandwich because there wasn't enough water in the world to get the sea-water out of my veins. My husband said the food was unremarkable and the slaw tasted 'off.' We'll pass on by next time we're through. read more
