We have driven by Vinwood hundreds of times but have never stopped because their front patio…read moreoutside seating is shaded. However today we discovered they have a back of building outdoor seating area that is sunny! They brought our pup water and everyone super friendly. The place was busy - always a good sign! We shared the grilled chicken wrap with ranch and fries. Loved it!! The romaine in the wrap was fresh and didn't taste like it came from a bag. The chicken was delicious. I'm picky about lettuce and chicken so I was very happy with the wrap and will order again.

Overall, it was a pretty good experience. We came as a group of 10, and the service was pleasant. I…read moreabsolutely loved the artichoke dip--it was honestly the best thing ever. I ordered a burger, and it was quite good, with crispy fries on the side. There were a couple of small issues: one person in our group waited a long time for their pizza and only received it when the rest of us were almost finished eating. We also didn't have enough napkins and asked for more twice but never received them. Still, these were minor things. The atmosphere was relaxed, with cozy lighting that made it feel comfortable. Overall, not a bad experience, and I would come back again.

We opted for the pretzel with beer cheese which was good enough but the pizza was not our favorite. A little more freezer pizza-esque than restaurant quality. Great selection of beer though we didn't order any this time. Good in a pinch and overall liked the vibe, but food-wise there are probably some better options.

So many stars should you give to an out of the way, local, divey tavern? It depends, of course. A…read morelot of people might look at the basic menu, or the rustic surroundings, basic furnishings, and award their stars based on those considerations. So do I -- sometimes. But sometimes you walk into a place, feel the vibe, enjoy the situation, settle in with the locals, and tell yourself that life is good. I love a good local bar. As long as the locals are friendly, the service is decent, there are food options, and the place isn't disgustingly dirty, I am in. Alpine Tavern checked all of the boxes. Add in a horseshoe pit in the back and cheeseburgers on the menu, and Alpine Tavern is worth a stop in you ate in this neck of the woods.

They grind their own meat for smash burgers, smoke their meats daily, make fresh soups from scratch. I can't get enough of it! I sat at the bar one day and got to see a variety of their menu options. Everything looked so fresh and flavorful! The tri tip salad looks like it's to kill for -I can't wait to try this myself!!! The taco Tuesday deal is a STEAL. The tacos are big and flavorful for $2 each! The service is always so kind and welcoming. I could not be happier for these folks. They appear to be a staple in the community and I hope the tavern thrives!

I was surprised they didn't have any hard alcohol. Clean place, 6 or more lottery machines (good for the owner) but not interested in those. The bartender was nice and mixed between being behind the bar and playing pool with some patrons. Beer was fairly inexpensive and was a very comfortable vibe. But- I wish I could have grabbed a cocktail. I'm curious if it's always been a "tap room" which I find hard to believe. More like a 4.5, - had this been a true dive bar with some spirits, I would have given it a 5.

I was glad to try another food establishment out in Monroe…read more I have been to the other's, and while one of them is more higher end, and the other a dive/ sports bar they are great I wanted to give Benny's a shot. I have read many reviews online, and happened to be in the area around dinner time on a Saturday evening. We showed up at the right time, it wasn't quite packed yet. After we sat, a lot of locals started packing, in, and out. Even though they were so busy, the service didn't lack one bit. The women were on top of their game, and we had excellent service. The pizza was delicious, and had an amazing crust. I think we had the Benny's combo with pineapple added, and no onion on half. I took pics, but only after slices were taken. Will have to come back for more delicious pizza.

Second - the service was excellent. Super friendly wait staff and very attentive and prompt. Third - the pizza - Benny's Combination - was some of the best I've ever had. And I used to make pies for a pretty kick ass pizza place in Northern California in my younger days. The crust was just about perfect, light and crispy. Great combo of meats and fresh veggies. The Italian sausage was especially notable, I thought. Plus, a great marinara sauce! The salad bar is classic, too! Old school, buffet-style with a huge variety of fresh vegetables, side salads, and even Jello salad! Just like the old days, pre-COVID! I think the smaller salad order cost only $6, and my wife and I were both able to make very decent sized side salads to accompany our pizza. We both ordered a pilsner, which was a cool, crisp and outstanding pairing for our meal. I had read positive reviews about this place, and it was definitely worth the drive... about 20 to 25 minutes from Corvallis. We'll be back!
