Great food. Had the Prime Rib Sandwich. Absolutely snagging! Great bread, snagging meat and the horseradish sauce... Amazing. The Moscow Mule is made with marticulous care. Great drink. The server was sweet as hell. Never went empty on my drink, and always had a smile. Will definitely be back. read more

I had the New York strip. Pretty tasty and all but was a bit dry. Side of green beens and loaded mashed potatoes was a nice compliment. Pendleton whiskey on ice was an even better compliment. All and all it was a good experience. read more

GREAT food and staff here, definitely worth the 2-3 extra miles along the "Business Route" into town from I-84. Burgers were juicy and tasty, Tots & Fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside!! Hats off to the Chef, our cute waitress Shelby and whoever made that Summer Iced cocktail! read more

Mac's Bar & Grill - JUICY burger and crispy tots & fries @ Macs!! - Bars Near Me - Pendleton, Oregon

After being shoo'd off by Hamley's (even though they were open for more than another hour) we came to Mac's. We had great service and great food. I like the bar area a lot more than the restaurant side. read more

I am from Portland, OR so maybe my expectations were set too high. The service was great but the food was awful! Worst nachos I have ever had! In fact everything was awful other than the Maryhill wine. Teenage kids& young 20's in the back cooking & complaining. So upset we spent over $75 for something that taco bell or burger King makes better. read more

We stopped in after driving for hours. Not particularly busy yet took awhile for everything. Acknowledgement, Seats, menus then food. Ordered the Ultimate Nacho, it was very disappointing. Small and tasteless. I could handle waiting even less than great food but the service sealed the deal. We were not checked on once, dropped check off and away she went. read more

Macs is one of my favorite hang outs. I like the Buckwild Burger. Fries, tots, onion rings and curds are always good. Waitstaff is always attentive and friendly. read more

Have stopped here twice after camping and each time we've had amazing service and excellent food! Makes coming off the mountain for some greasy food after a weekend of drinking so worth it. They have a few slots and I won't $250 on one of them. Get their Poblano Ranch...I could drink it! read more

We always stop at either Mac's or Prodigal Son when we pass through Pendleton. On our most recent trip from Portland back to Boise, Prodigal Son was closed; we gave Mac's another shot. I should say that we always get great service here. The servers are always very friendly and helpful when it comes to menu decisions, as the food comes out amazingly quick. The food is always waaaay more than solid, too. There's a reason we consistently come back here, and it's because we enjoy the hot food. The menu consists of mostly bar food, albeit upscale bar food that is executed well. My fries and buffalo wings (which are stellar) are always hot and tasty. Yesterday, we had a vegan patty burger (mushroom swiss style) and the bacon cheeseburger. Both were awesome AND, for having a ton of toppings, could be eaten without a fork and knife. The person who assembled our burger must have had this in mind, whereas so many other eateries do not. I don't care if you're a garbageman, a line cook, a teacher, that guy who wipes off the stall doors in public restrooms, whatever, just do your job like you mean it. Thanks to all at Mac's who could treat their job like any other ho-hum food service industry position, but act like friendly professionals every day (or at least every time we visit). My only suggestion is that they could expand their craft beer menu, but I'm not sure if that makes fiscal sense in Pendleton (especially when they have the awesome, local brewery Prodigal Son that would probably detract from imports). They could also get a little more adventurous with menu options, but I have the same misgivings about that as I do about expanding the beer menu. read more

As far as Pendleton goes this place is a diamond in the rough. There are very few places that my husband and I (with our big city tastes) enjoy in this town. I like the location, the ambiance, the rewards club, the decent food and drink selection, and the events that they put on. Trivia nights on Thursday is so much fun with friends. The selection of food isn't bad but the appetizers never fill that bar food hole in my stomach. Usually the meals leave a bit to be desired to. That said the food isn't bad; it doesn't wow but it doesn't make you sick. It's decent. The bar is clean and the service has it's ups and downs, as all customer service does. Sometimes it is awesome, sometimes you are shocked. It's a must try for a local or someone just passing through. Like I said, there isn't much else to enjoy in this town. read more

The only thing decent was the green beans. We ordered a 12 oz steak and a 10 oz steak. The 10 oz was larger than the 12 oz. The 10 oz was ordered medium rare and the middle was cold and still moo-ing. The 12 oz had to have been rotten when they cooked it because three different people tried a small piece and were spitting it out immediately. It was DISGUSTING! No words can express how nasty that steak was. The mashed potatoes were fresh and not cooked. They were chunky and raw. It tasted as though they were mixed with sour cream and had a really weird texture and flavor. Couldn't eat those either. We did eat the green beans (which could have been cooked a little longer) and drank our sodas. This is a reoccurring issue that we have experienced. It's not consistent and usually inedible. We heard they had a new menu and wanted to give it one last try. I will NOT be eating there again for a VERY long time (if ever). read more

Ignore the other reviews. OK, the waitresses are a little on the chatty side, but the food I go there for is the bbq pulled pork. Ignore the rest of the menu. It is for show. The pulled pork sandwiches are awesome. I got a side of their house bbq sauce my second time and it was better yet. The fry sauce is fine too. I would sub a salad next time just to cut down on the calories, but I love the bbq pulled pork. Don't listen to the whiners. read more

Great attentive service! We actually stumbled in after being shunned and receiving the worst service across the tracks at Cadillac Jacks. Glad we did! Prime rib was melt in your mouth, vegetables fresh and cooked wonderfully . The staff here really made the impact! Our server Michelle could not have done any better! We have been back several times and have enjoyed it quite a bit. Only improvement would be a better wine selection. read more

The service was poor and the, the pasta was severely under cooked and we won't be back! We would suggest you not waste your money there... go somewhere else read more

What do I like about this place? Brittany!!!!! The foods fantastic, but we should all appreciate her. Amazing hostess/waitress! Quick on her feet, great smile, attentive. Giver her your last hundred dollars she deserves it. Okay okay we all want to hear about the food. It's GOOD! No complaints, delicious, tender, and kickin! Come on in. Also buy lots of drinks, don't be shy, they rock. read more

Yes I very much recommend if your into regular food like burger, fries, chicken strips, tater tots. Service was good. Fry sauce was good.

Loved everything about Mac's. I was just passing through town and found everything I ordered to be tasty and the service was fast and friendly. I'd definitely return! read more

Food was amazing! Well prepared with just a hint of unique. My 'southwest style salad' was topped with breaded avocado. Never even considered that, but found it added to the dish. Service was not intrusive, but aware of when they were needed. A real gem - especially for a quiet weekend lunch. read more

We came in on Friday 9/23/16 and had the prime rib dinner, which I have had a few times before with no issues. But this visit was probably the worst it's been ever. One of our friends ordered the same and had a fly in their mashed potatoes and the beers that were ordered, were either from a bad keg or not the right one on the tap. We eventually got settled with the drinks and when the food came out the tots and fries portion was a lot smaller than they used to be, and there was no discount or offer of compensation for the fly in the food. read more

Great atmosphere, friendly service and really good food. We had the Tatchos and they were very tasty. Thank you Chelsea!

Great venue to watch your favorite sporting event or play electronic trivia with a group. Just be really really, (did I say really..) hungry if you plan to eat. Came here recently with five of us for dinner. The coconut shrimp served on a bed of undercooked rice with black beans was an adequate appetizer starter. The house salads were less desirable as some of the lettuce seemed as though they were picked thru the rabbit's cage with chunks of ends & browning leaf. The rest of the random veggie ingredients in the salad were satisfactory. The entrees ordered included rib-eye steaks that were mislabeled on the menu. They should have been called ground chuck steaks. These slabs of meat were flavorless, flat & tuff. Other entrees ordered included a Reuben sandwich that was indgestible, the meat was so old that we had to send it back to the pig trough. The chicken dinner salad was good & plentiful with slices of almonds, chicken breast pieces, various veggies.. The onion rings were overcooked & dripping with oil. We soaked them up with a handful of napkins prior to eating them so that our arteries would be happy. The tater tots were crunchy & delicious. The chocolate mousse cake w/fresh caramel sauce & sprinkled kosher salt crystals was a nice restaurant signature. Look, I get it. Small town USA, not a whole lot of business, cooking oils can't be changed out constantly, meats has to be used up rather than tossed out to control food costs, but when you are one of the newest, nicest venues in town, you have to maintain that level of expectations for your patrons. The 3 stars is based solely on atmosphere & the wonderful attentive service we received from the staff. They were welcoming & accommodating to our every sporting needs, even going the extra mile to offer a replacement for the failed Reuben. The multiple flat screens throughout the restaurant are nicely placed. The overall prices are reasonable. It appears the kitchen staff does not take as much pride in maintaining & mirroring the waitstaff. Ownership take note: change a few things and business will be bustling! read more

Don't bring your kids here during the Pendleton Round up, they won't cook their kids menu during that week, and won't tell you until after you have ordered, so then your kids don't get to eat. Apparently they can't deep fry frozen mini corn dogs at the same time they are deep frying the rest of their frozen crap. But the summer ice drink was nice. read more

Like the atmosphere and the staff is usually friendly... but had the chili cheeseburger and you could taste that the chili was old and burnt... not sure how many times it had been out in the cooler and reheated but it did not taste good... Also the burger was tough and you could tell it was a frozen burger. I was disappointed because I love a good chili cheeseburger and as far as I know they are the only place in town that has one on the menu. read more

Yes! Easily the best burger I've had all year - lovely bun, crisp veggies, perfectly cooked bacon, etc. - but the SAUCES! They make them in-house and the BBQ sauce is kind of life-changing. Also the guacamole, holy heck. Crispy fries with a slightly spicy batter go great in any of the above sauces. Nice service, friendly and helpful bartender (Chelsea) who gave us good info on which bars to check out, basically my only complaint was that the lights over the bar are a bit bright. And if you're a smoker, there IS a patio where you can bring drinks but there isn't much in the way of furniture. Still, appreciated! Will def stop next time I'm in Pendleton. read more

Expensive. And only average in taste/quality. Don't look at anything on the menu but the burgers. Kids meals are a joke. The kids grilled chicken kabobs looked small enough to be fish bait on a hook. read more

Open on Sunday even though Yelp says they arent. Lots of TVs for games. Good bacon burger

We stopped in here for lunch after driving in from Boise on our way home to Lake Oswego. The food is good and the servers were friendly. The atmosphere probably would be awesome if they were busier- but it's super cute. We bothe had cheeseburgers very well prepared and the fried pickles are great! read more

Stopped off here in our travels back home to watch a football game and get some food. The staff was awesome in helping us get a table to watch the game. We ordered onion rings and fried pickles for starters and they were great. We ordered the sriracha chicken sandwich and the chicken Cesar wrap meals which were good. However, the chicken noodle soup we ordered was very salty and the peach cobbler was too sweet and barely had any peaches, it was mostly cobbler. I would come back here and try some other things if we need to stop in Pendleton again. read more

Ordered the bacon cheeseburger and it was fantastic! Server (Macy) was very friendly and fast with service. Atmosphere is very laid back and casual. Tator tots are excellent and flavorful. If I am in Pendleton again, I am definitely coming back!! read more

Overall food was okay. The burgers were over done and tater tots out of a bag , which would be acceptable if not for the high price. The worst part of our experience was the local man who decided it was up to him as to when all other patrons should leave. So because of the rude "local" man who told us to leave at 10:10, after we had squared up our bill and just finishing our drink I give this place a very low rating for those visiting. Shame on him! read more

Food is just average bar cuisine. Everything is fried, which is fine but it was overly greasy. I'd give the food four stars because I wasn't expecting fine dining and my dad liked his prime rib sandwich. Steer away from the turkey, ranch and Swiss they forgot the ranch...the three stars comes from the service which gets a single star. Our waitress must have been new because she didn't even bring us silverware for the salad. I don't mind bad service because I'm not paying for that, but let your guests know your new so your tip is better. We had to ask for the check because she left us there so long and then a different waitress working brought it to us...overall just decent, I don't live here but I won't come back if I'm in town. read more

A great place to stop in for a burger! Love the staff and the atmosphere. I come for round up and it's great as its next to the round up ground and all has a rockin party afterwards! read more

Really great food. I got the turkey club and added mayo. I substituted my fries for their house salad with blue cheese dressing which was amazing. There dressings are made from scratch. My husband got the bacon burger with tater tots and ranch. He said it was really good. We both got 2 beers and our tab was just shy over $40 with tip. We were passing through and really impressed. The atmosphere was great and decorations were good! read more

Good sports bar, hosts cool events like beer pong and trivia. Good food and good beer prices. Great location near the round up grounds.

Road trip to hood river stoped in for the first time had Mac's ultimate nachos, I will say they were very good the jalapeño caps were a great added touch to make the nachos a big hit, staff was very friendly I will go back again and try other food!!! read more

Great staff! Leah make a mean gin bloody marry. Just had their Prime Rib sandwich special. The meat is tender and the horseradish sauce is delish. read more

Food is alright but pretty expensive for the quality. 1/2 off Wings on Wednesday is a solid deal but it can get pretty crowded & loud. TVs are around with sportslike content but it's not exactly a sports bar. Good beer on tap for a decent price. read more

Cannot say how much I enjoy their BBQ wings!!! The Buckwild burger is my favorite with tater tots and a cola just is awesome. Wait staff is very friendly and atmosphere is also fun with various specials or bar games in the back . Very well done with layout of building ...... Amazing mojito's read more

Macs Bar and Grill, at least the restaurant part of it, had really delicious food, and very quick and good service! Plus it had a nice hometown feel with all wood stained tables and side panelling. If the price was a couple of dollars cheaper, the food may have been more enjoyable, but honestly... They have the best tator totts on the planet! read more

Went for the prime rib and it missed the mark. My plate came out luke warm. Cheese was applied "fridge cold" onto my loaded mashed potatoes. I got a dirty feel from the restaurant side. All in all the staff was very friendly and stopped by the table often. read more
