Midway has the perfect menu and the kitchen staff does an excellent job. I have eaten in so many taverns (most in the Portland metropolitan area) so I feel I have a solid opinion.I have never ordered something that was not good~I am always satisfied~except once when the broccoli cheddar soup was too salty for me. Prime Rib on Saturdays is delish. My other fav is the fish and chips. Get the beer battered fries which are the best I have ever had. The staff is a solid crew and my experience with the team is A++. Kudos to the team for bringing their best. To the owner...you still owe me a free t-shirt...I am deserving. ‍ read more

Everything is amazing Breakfast on Saturday, best deep fried country steak and eggs!!

TLDR... eat at own risk, severe food poisoning after eating their burger on "special." Not a bad spot if you are just looking for a beer and to gamble. Service is not the best but if you go enough to be recognized you will have better luck. You can watch your food sit in the service window for extended periods while the bar staff chats with their friends or each other. None of this ever bothered me because I understood we are in a local spot a slight step above a dive. Food was always mediocre but again it was on par with my understanding of the place... until yesterday. I got a simple burger and a side since burgers were $2 off. It tasted ok; what you'd expect from a frozen patty joint. A few hours later I was violently ill. Eat here at your own risk. I would not suggest any specials since it's likely the old food they are trying not to throw out. If you do risk it, make sure your health insurance is active. read more

1. In the summer there is NO AC. Staff, cook and customers are sweating cause the owner doesn't wanna pay to get it taken care of. 2. If you are looking for heavy drugs Sarah Garcia and friends frequently use the bathroom for a dispensary of coke and fet all week long. 3. If you disagree with the racist undertones of this establishment and ask questions the person in charge of their social media will delete and block you. 4. The food is decent if you want your chicken strips cooked in the same 5 day old oil as the shitty fish they buy frozen. 5. The customer service of the actual employees is great. Most are kind and helpful. We will always appreciate the worker who suggested mixing to Ciders flavors together ! That was fantastic 6. The best thing is the cutest cat that seems to love the patio area. She's a little sassy but that's okay! So yeah, if you wanna visit a drug ran establishment in a sundown town with no ac, okay food and a social media puta have a fantastic time! Just not during the half time show of the Super Bowl, they mute the tv during that for their "customer appreciation moment" (but only if the performers are black or brown then they keep the volume on) Enjoy the driest unseasoned tacos here on Tuesdays from a whitest lady with burnt and falling out bleach blonde hair, the skin of leather and the stench of Newport 100s seeping into your food. read more

Midway Bar & Grill - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hermiston, Oregon

We stayed for one night in Umatilla as we were passing through the area and it was the first game of the season for the Green Bay Packers so we were in search of a sports bar. We called Midway to see if they had the NFL Ticket and, low and behold, they actually did! Shouldn't be shocking but you'd be surprised how many little sports bars, do not. Anyway, we were pleasantly surprised by our visit to this Hermiston bar and grill! 1) Adequate parking 2) Clean dining room with loads of tables and lots of TVs 3) Friendly, informative and efficient service 4) The pricing was good, the food was tasty bar food I had a tasty Bloody Mary, my husband and I shared the poutine appetizer and then we shared the fried chicken wrap with jojos. Heads up...they're potato wedges...not the sliced, breaded and fried round potato slices which we know as jojos and we prefer. In addition to the info I've already shared; they have 'lottery' playing, darts and several pool tables. read more

Had been traveling all day. Husband remembered stopping here 8 yrs ago, so we decided to stop. Sat at a table, patiently waiting for maybe even just an acknowledgement that we were seen. NOPE. My husband went to the bar to order and a gal came over with menus. Took our drink order. I've never been in a bar that serves a greyhound in a pounder glass (16oz). Our food order was taken. She could not tell us the price of the special, could not tell us how many gizzards in an order. Said they were by weight. Had no clue how much they weighed, nor was she willing to go ask. Gizzards were so over cooked, they were chewy. The coleslaw tasted as though it was on the last day or perhaps a day past its pull date. One bite and that was a strong no. Asked for some horseradish and some ranch. She never came with it. We found a gal at the bar to get it for us. More irritating is the fact that while she should have been getting the ranch she was busy chatting about her family at another table. As an observation from a "secret shopper" who goes in to establishments all over the western states, as well as a retired bartender, let me suggest a few things: Always acknowledge your customers even if it's "be there as soon as I can guys", stay focused on the tasks at hand. You will find that you make far more in tips. The owner needs some refresher or training for the cook in the back when it comes to the fryer. An Auto fry, while very pricey will pay for itself in satisfied customers and give you a great food reputation. To all servers, if it's overwhelming, consider another career. If it's an off day, ask to be pulled from the floor or perhaps trade a shift. Working in a bar should be fun! I may try again at this location one day, just to be fair. For now, off to Idaho for a review. If you want to drink here, I would suggest you sit at the bar. The blonde bartender was interacting with her crowd and kept things going. read more

Food sucks big time!!! Worst fish and chips ever!!! So was the chicken wings. Carrots came out of a bag you could buy from the store. Would not recommend eating at this place. I wouldn't even give this place one star but there's no option to leave it blank read more

Midway Bar & Grill - Watered down Long Island ! The worst ! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hermiston, Oregon

Midway Bar & Grill absolutely nailed it. This was the first place we stopped after moving to Hermiston, and it honestly set the tone perfectly for our first night in town. Great vibes, friendly people, and food that hits the spot--it felt like the perfect welcome. The servers were extremely attentive from the moment we walked in. They got us seated and served quickly, but never made us feel rushed. Just smooth, professional, and genuinely kind service all around. The food was amazing--huge portions at prices that really make sense. It's hearty, satisfying, and you can tell they don't skimp on quality or flavor. What's even better? They have rotating daily specials that keep things fresh and affordable, which we'll definitely be taking advantage of now that we're locals. All in all, Midway Bar & Grill gave us an awesome first impression of Hermiston. If every place here is half as good, we're in for a great ride. Highly recommend for anyone new in town--or anyone who just loves great food and even better service. read more

Love this place 4 Pool Tables waitresses are Always very attentive if you needed anything! Drinks and the Food is great just to kick back relax with read more

We walked in and the host said "feel free to seat yourself anywhere." So we sat ourselves at a high top across from the bar. Even if it was Michelin star quality food, it would not excuse the non-attentive wait staff. We sat for 20 minutes and then had to walk up to the bar to ask for menus and let the wait staff know we were there. We ordered our food but not even the attempt to ask for refills or another beer. Terrible service. She did apologize for the wait but this still does not excuse her lack of attention. She didn't even notice how my tacos came without chips but all the other taco orders came with chips. I don't recommend this place unless you want to wait an hour for your cold tacos and have to chase down your server for another beer. So thanks for nothing Andrea at midway. Save yourself the trouble and head to Nookies. read more

Haven't been for awhile because of a bad experience, but decided to give it another try. Had the chicken and wanted mashed potatoes, they were indescribable, kept getting chunks of undercooked dehydrated sliced potatoes. Finally gave up. Chicken was overcooked and had no flavor. On the bright side our waitress was very attentive and pleasant. read more

Service was sub-par. The food was okay, but the flies I had to fight off my food the whole time was reason enough not to go back.

We ordered a big Reuben and a finger steak basket last night and had it delivered by 541-to-go. The Reuben was extremely dry, the tiniest hint of sauerkraut and a teeny tiny bit of sauce. The meat was almost like a jerky texture. The finger steaks basket the finger steaks weren't like the normal finger steaks they usually have and soggy. Both sets of fries were cold and extremely soggy. Our whole meal was super cold. We have gone to midway numerous times over the last few years and usually don't have bad experiences but the food this time was almost inedible. It was an extreme let down. read more

Food is good, service at the bar is bad, if you get a table service seems okay. I really want to like this place, broasted chicken, wings, and burgers are great, beer is cold and the ambiance is nice, but as mentioned, no designated bar person, so if you sit at the bar, little to no service and long wait times for beer and food. The bar is generally packed and most people have an empty drink and no food while sitting there,. read more

Service was slow. Never got a refill on my iced tea. Breakfast was not hot toast was dry. Food was mediocre. Won't turn one exhaust fan so smells like smoke. Overall would not recommend. read more

Been coming to the Midway about once every 3 to 4 months with the wife as a date night and we have never had an issue...but for some reason tonight 4/22 we had the worst food and the worst service. It felt like all the wait staff had deer in the headlight looks do to the amount of people in there...not your typical experience Saturday night staff. Then the food, she ordered a Prime rib...all sold out, she the ordered shrimp...all sold out, she then ordered a steak (well done) it came out medium rare...we finally had enough and left...I am not sure what happen this night and I am hoping this was the exception not the norm. read more

Went in for a takeout order last weekend and boy I've never been treated so poorly by h the heir staff. I walked in to order and expected to be greeted by someone. I sat down at first stool in their bar and was totally ignored. There was one bar tender and she was standing just a few feet away chatting with two of the four other people at the bar. I finally waived her over and asked if I could place a To go order and how long it would take. Whitney did place my order and poured me a beer. I waited well over the " twenty minutes " drank my beer and watched as other orders went out. All the time noticing a box and container sitting there waiting to be picked up. I finally asked another employee if she could see if that was my order. She asked who had first helped me, I pointed towards Whitney who was still behind the bar attending to others. Well it was my order and I was able to get helped and out I went. My only regret was that when paying for the order when placed I tipped Whitney to insure prompt service. Boy was I wrong. She saw me there and not once followed up with her customer service. This place can be busy but it wasn't that busy at the bar that she couldn't have followed up. She just blatantly chose to ignore me. That's the kinda service this place has. Unless you're white and young I wouldn't go in there. They'll take your money but then you're on your own to get what you paid for. read more

Absolute trash staff. Tried to tell me it was midnight when it was 11:15. Never felt so disrespected.

My first time here. This is a come in sit where you want place. Burgers and onion rings are good. Servers were friendly and they definitely have their regulars that come in cause they knew them by name. I will come again! read more

Staff was over worked and still amazing! Burger, fries and salad was better than expected. Flat beer was a disappointment so I ordered another.....flat again. Few spots in town have the same issue, is it soap residue on the glasses or what idk. Zero bubbles means flat beer. Unfortunately for me the beer is the most important so next weeks meals will be elsewhere. read more

Horrible service if you wanna go somewhere and stay sober definitely the place to go couldcouldn'tget a drink or any sort of help the 45 minutes I was there read more

So far I've only ordered food from here once and I ordered it to go. The plus was that they serve food until 2am which is great for us night shift workers. When I arrived to pick it up it still wasn't finished so I sat at the bar and had a drink. Bar mades were very nice and welcoming. The food I ordered was mostly fried food and it wasn't bad. I ordered Jo jo's & although they're homemade they were kinda dried out and bland. read more

Such a great place for dinner and a drink! Their food takes a bit to come out but it is totally worth it.

They recently updated their menus but for some reason our last visit was horrible. I ordered a fish sandwich and is wad a tiny patty and was rock hard! Slow service too. I hope this was just a one time issue. ... read more

Midway Bar & Grill - Whiskey sours are amazing - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hermiston, Oregon

Was in back in July of 2017. Myself and a couple of guys were off post running some errands and were in uniform (US Army). It was late morning and the waitress was nice-enough; the place wasnt busy. We ordered some breakfast and waited for over an hour. The waitress came back to tell us they were out of everything we ordered, then shot us a disingenuious apology. I didnt want to believe it was because we were in uniform, because this seemed like a military friendly place. Guess I was wrong. Won't be back; made sure my entire infantry battalion knew not to go there. read more

I've been to this place on many occasions, always hoping for the food and service to get better. It never did. It accommodated large groups so it was our only choice at the time. Just left there 10 minutes ago very pissed off! It took them 30 minutes, after I ordered, to inform me that they were out of the appetizer I wanted. Wow. Don't go there!! Go anywhere else but there! read more

Been enjoying the broasted chicken for decades. Larry and now Stuart are moving forward with an expanded menu and a large selection of craft beers. This is unconditionally the best chicken period. It is now a full blown sports bar with super cooled liquor for cocktails and multiple TV's. This is not fast food, just good food. If you are looking for DQ speed, go to DQ. If you want good food try the Midway. read more

Beer is good, service is okay and food yeah had a burger and a chicken wrap and definitely was not that great. Been here three times would recommend eat some where else and drink here. read more

Fantastic place!!! It's huge inside! The staff was top notch and as a soda lover, I loved it even more. They give you a mini pitcher for your soda so you are not waiting on refills often. I ordered the boneless wing app as my meal with a side of fries. I thought they were going to be a small order so I ordered the fries. I was wrong. It came with a large order of wings and it took everything I had to finish them all. The wings were cooked well and did not have the usual hard crunchy coating on them. They were delicious! Best wings I've had in a while! read more

RETRACTION TIME! They won me over, im addicted. Ill leave initial, like 6months ago review in double parentheses, erase some stuff following as i think i needed to change, not them as much!PREVIOUS((Done takeout from them a lot-ok that lines edited- One night, i called to order, friers had been turned off for the night. But they still made me best burger in town at past 12 The midway burger was tasty this time, and they got the "plain" part right. Appreciated at midnight. likely their best food, heard the salad/ wrap stuff is good if youre into that(chicken's kinda over rated and despite reviews, very basic. it just pressure fried chicken, my friends probably buttermilk based brined, dont know). I appreciate your after hours service but fryers are off, past 12am, so get a burger. seems past 8-9pm, you're the only ones open ive lived primarily in portland so this fact drives me nuts, i operate late.)) The rest is new now. So i got used to their hours, and general rules, thats kinda the key. If your comin last min. Dont expect a masterpiece, but it'll be good. People are nice there once you get the flow of things, and know how to treat others as you want to also be treated. Patience can be a bit thin for certain servers late, but they just wanna go home, enjoy their freedom. So got to say sorry for being a rat bastard with my previous review, when something pisses me off, and im very hungry, i can be quite bipolar! Im pretty much always running their for steak fingers, with fries. Sure theyre kinda tough but i trick my brain into thinking of them as very tender battered fried beef jerky. And it works. Get to em quick, their great. Everything else else is relatively good to very tasty, depending what you like. I dont drink anymore, but people seem to enjoy the bar atmosphere. 1 thing though, PLEASE PLEASE start salting your fries at least. You order a fried whatever basket from a bar you should expect salty gresyness, if you got salt issues ordering food, thats your problem. Ask for no salt. Keep it up, ill keep getting your late food! read more

If give this place 5 stars as the service is good and the food is good and the drinks are decent. Took away one start after observing the waitress cough and sneeze into her hand and then proceed to handle food without sanitizing or washing hands. All in all it is still my favorite place in Hermiston. read more

Terrible service! Had our ID checked upon entering by bartender and once we sat down our ID was checked again. we informed our server that our ID had already been checked and she says she needs to see them because she is our server. Upon telling us the specials we were told we had to wait for her to put orders in until after 5:00 (It was 4:59). She told us about "bar time" which is 15 minutes delayed. Nobody uses that back home although I had heard of it. My co-worker mentioned that he had never heard of it and our server says "when you are the owner you can do whatever you want". I informed my co-worker I was not eating. He decided to order wings at regular menu price but when he asks for a couple of different sauces...Surprise, our server informed him that this was impossible because they have to shake the wings up. May have been that our server was just terrible but I would not eat here if they paid me to. read more
