    Hogg fries info.
    Tanis L.

    Nancy Jo's (burger and fries chain founded/opened in 2012 in Oregon) in Keizer, Oregon, was my last food stop in Oregon on a day trip on Thursday 19 October 2023. I was getting a bit full, and decided to go with the Hogg fries as they sounded good and I had yet to find loaded fries I was really a fan of. Arriving in the early afternoon, there were a couple of other customers waiting for their order. I was briefly the only customer in the restaurant before a few other people/groups arrived. Placing my order was a walk up to the counter and place my order and pay style. When the order was ready, I went and picked it up. A cook/chef was visible from the front counter. The workers were clear and concise in our interactions. For dining, I went with a high top table facing a television that was playing "Mrs. Doubtfire" (a 1993 film) with captions on. The fries were delicious and the fries were a bigger, but not so big to be a streak fry, size with skins still on the fry tips (I like fries with some skin still on). Atop the fries was cheese, burger sauce, fresh cooked bacon pieces (not crumbles), and slices of caramelized onions. It was absolutely delicious. The quality of the ingredients really radiated and I could taste everything. The burger sauce had a stronger flavor. I finished about half the order in-restaurant and took the other half with me. At the Gee Creek Safety Rest Area in Ridgefield, Washington State, I finished the second half of the order. They were still excellent, perhaps even better, cooled down. My taste buds had recovered from flavor fatigue (my taste buds can get tired if I eat a lot) a bit and I was pleased to find the fries tasted even better with my taste buds rebounding.

    Been wanting to try this place for a while. Can by for lunch at like 1:30pm, places pres for burger and fries and shake. Well oh my it was almost $16.00.. the wait was about 20 minutes, at least they made my shake while I stood there and I had that to drink while waiting for my food. The shake was yummy and the Frieda where great but the burger was not great. I only eat about 3/4 of and threw it out. And had more fries. They give about what seems like 3lbs of fries. So it seems that maybe they should give you less fries and increase the quality of the burger. So unless I just want fries and a shake I prob will not make it back.

    Beyond burger with large fries

    First time here... loved it!!! Loved that all burger toppings (except cheese and bacon) come free. I got grilled mushrooms and grilled onions on a Beyond burger lots of sauce too... so good. My husband got a beef patty and also liked his. Vegetarian friendly. The large fries came in a huge bag that my husband and I shared. We had extra despite sharing the bag. And they had free fry sauce too! Definitely will be back.

    Good meal much like the 5 Guys with better fries. Reasonable prices and satisfying. Paper Bags

    Large order of fries.
    Allan A.

    Messed up our order more than once the last time they barely a single cup of fries when we ordered a large fries. Part of me feels like a retaliation from the cooks when I showed up about 15 minutes or early to pick up my order. when I asked if my order was ready they said " I should know better than to ask" good luck trying to reach anybody in management they will not return their Facebook messages or phone calls. No corporate email no way to reach anybody any any kind of management position. I was a huge fan of this place when it first opened and left good reviews and spoke highly of them. All during the pandemic and closure of businesses we would continue to order out from there every other week. I would now recommend ordering from five guys Nobel waves or any other place to get your burger. If you go to the local food eating Facebook groups many people have had the same problem

    The only way I complain is the burgers are not smashed like they advertised, they're good and plenty of fries

Music was excellent; audible but not intrusive. Comfy chairs. Lower lighting, well placed. Service was excellent, friendly and fast. I think our server's name was Mikayla; a gem. Attentive and observant but never intrusive. Drinks: my old fashioned was absolutely perfect and my husband's margarita was fine. Appetizers: beer cheese was well balanced and a bit runny, which I prefer over the library paste version some places serve. The elotes dip was a standout, mildly spicy, with lime in the cilantro, and warm, crispy chips. (Whatever is in their seasoning for chips and fries should be sold separately -- I wanted to try it on everything.) We probably should have stopped there, as the portions were abundant, but our mains were amazing. Smash burger was insanely juicy, nice and onion-y with a few Crunchy Brown Bits around the edges. The roll was fresh and tender, with a good crust; flavorful, not just a shingle. The fries were the best I've had in Salem. Get the garlic-thyme upgrade; you won't regret it. My ribeye was cooked perfectly. Unfortunately they were out of both compound butters, apparently due to a busy Friday, but everything was well seasoned. The vegetable of the day was roasted Brussels sprouts with a sweet-and-salty sauce, almost like kettle corn; amazing. The outer leaves were caramelized without being burned, and the hearts were tender but not mushy. Crispy fried onions were perfect. Fried potatoes were fine, and enriched by their placement between the steak and the sprouts. The diners who came in before us were all smiles when they left, so it wasn't a fluke. Can't wait to come back!

The burgers were perfectly cooked and the garlic rosemary fries were to die for. They have great ranch here and a spicy sauce, I can't remember what it's called. The only thing that made this place of four stars for me is that the drinks are very small for the price they are. Customer service was amazing. We came in an hour before closing were the last ones there and they treated us so well. I would definitely go back and try other foods!

The stark difference in our second experience was night and day, making this visit truly exceptional. The cozy and romantic aesthetic of the restaurant remains fantastic, and the food and drink menu is still absolutely amazing. This time, however, we had the pleasure of being seated downstairs in Tiffany's section, and she was beyond stellar. Tiffany is the definition of exceptional service. She gave us a complete, helpful rundown of how they structure their tapas menu, offered fantastic recommendations, and was incredibly attentive throughout the evening. We had a great time chatting with her and her professionalism and warmth instantly made our return worthwhile. Her suggestions were perfect--she expertly helped us select a great wine and recommended the black ink pasta, which was a showstopper. Cozy Taberna, when paired with service like Tiffany's, is easily a 5-star restaurant. From now on, we will only return if we can be seated in her section!
