    We stopped by Route 99 on our way to California. The parking lot is conveniently located around the restaurant. As soon as we walked in, the staff warmly greeted us and guided us to our table. It was a bit cold inside, so I kept my jacket on. My husband and I decided to share the Smoked Cheddar Burger and ordered a cup of chowder soup. When we mentioned that we would be sharing, our waitress kindly split the burger into two portions for us, which was a very thoughtful touch. The burger was flavorful and satisfying, and the chowder was comforting and delicious. Overall, it was a pleasant stop with friendly service--perfect for a break during a long drive.

    Brisket chili was immaculate!
    Kyleigh P.

    We've been raving about this spot all night! We stopped in for the first time to grab some drinks after work. As we saw the food come out of the kitchen- we couldn't help but make an order. We got the brisket chili & the spinach dip to start and MAAAAAAAAAAAN. The epitome of my dream spinach dip. Food was so incredible that we ordered 2 entrees to-go. Terrianne (and truly the whole service staff) made our entire experience. That woman truly made us want to come back again and again. If you're contemplating visiting- DO IT!

    The Country Benedict with country potatoes.
    Benjamin M.

    I finally got to try this place! I've heard many good things. I was there around 7:30am, and the smallish parking lot already had about 5-10 cars. Service was super friendly and the ambiance country chic. They offer early bird specials before 8am that were slightly smaller portions, but with substantial savings. I was hungry, so I stuck with the regular menu. I went with the Country Benedict, which consisted of a large biscuit, split, each side topped with a sausage patty and a poached egg, all covered with country gravy. I selected country potatoes as my side. Everything was delicious! The sausage patties were flavorful and the eggs nicely poached. The gravy was well-seasoned and peppery. The potatoes were tasty and perfectly cooked, with a nice seasoning mix that was assertive but not overpowering. I ate most of my meal, and the waitress kindly offered me a refill for my beverage (a Starry) for the road. Great service and great food, I will be back. As a burger and sandwich aficionado, their lunch offerings are tempting!

    First Caesar salad
    Mel G.

    Really friendly staff. And friendly bar tender. Caesar salad came with onions, which I never had seen before. When I asked the server, she immediately took it back and brought one without onions! Excellent attitude. Salad was delicious. Friend had clam chowder which reportedly was amazing. Restaurant has a neighborhood vibe. Service is sporadic. It was impossible to catch someone's attention after the initial order however.

    Armadillo egg

    Was as good as ever last night just for armadillo eggs and they were awesome I know they are a pain to make but should be a menu item

    Came here before we hit the road for brunch. Was quickly seated. One of us ordered a burger, can't remember the name of it, another ordered a Benedict of some sort, I ordered a Taco Salad. Food came out quickly. The burger was huge, but wasn't juicy. The sausage on the Benedict was pretty dense. I wish I would have went with the Seafood Salad instead of the Taco Salad. Taco Salad wasn't bad, but just didn't hit the spot. Overall, it wasn't bad...would probably just try something different next time. The prices are a little high. Looks like a cool little spot with a good size bar, Keno, and an interesting cocktail menu. We are from out of the area, so was just stopping through.

    French dip
    Katherine W.

    We stopped in after the peony farm, and it was ok. I definitely had higher expectations after reading reviews. I got the dip and the meat was dry and there just wasn't much of it. The service was fantastic. Everyone there was so nice and attentive. It was pretty busy, and everything still came out in a timely fashion. The restaurant was well lit and country decor. Overall, I may go back and try something different when in the area next year.

    My sister and I ate on the patio on a cool Saturday. It's cute and rustic. Quite a few flies so I did see our server actually hand out fly swatters, which I've never seen at a restaurant. I had the Fried Chicken (filet) breakfast with gravy, 2 eggs, potato pancake and a biscuit. The meal was good, not great. I wasn't impressed with the potato pancake so I won't order that again. Our server was very friendly and the experience, overall, was good.

    Brisket dip with sweet potato fries
    Anna Marie C.

    We decided to go to route 99 because we heard it was the owners of Annette's. We went in with high hopes because we loved Annette's. I loved the decor inside. Very chic farm style and very inviting. The service was good. We went right before rush hour. But after bagging our Togo, no one gave us our check and about 10 mins after our table was cleared we went to the front and paid, they said the waitress forgot to give us our check at our table. As for the food, we found it a bit pricey, $20 for a burger and $20 for a brisket dip. The food was good but I couldn't eat my burger because the patties were so thick, and everything fell apart and was to thick. The "spicy" slaw was not spicy in the least- and I'm a baby. The "horsey" sauce which was horseradish was not spicy either. In all we were very disappointed. We do not think we will be going back due to their prices and food flavors.

    My in-laws have raved about Route 99 since discovering it about a year ago. They highly recommended we check it out. They told us it has the same owner, Annette, from the former, Annette's Westgate Cafe in West Salem. My wife has fond memories of Annette's from when she lived in Salem and always enjoyed going with family and friends. We knew we would be driving nearby on our travels up/down I-5 between Portland and Eugene, so we had to stop in and check it out. We arrived about noon on a Monday afternoon. The parking lot was fairly busy, we parked and headed in. We were immediately greeted by someone and took a quick look at the specials menu before being taken to a table and provided menus. The menu consists of soup, salads, sandwiches, burgers, omelets and scrambles, morning favorites and sweet stuff. My wife immediately decided on the Cowboy (smoked brisket, tomatoes, and bell peppers, topped with cheddar and pepper jack, BBQ sauce, onion straws and green onions, served with breakfast potatoes and toast or biscuit). She opted to order it without the cheese or BBQ sauce. I chose the Smoked Cheddar Burger (2 burger patties with smoked cheddar and thick cut bacon on a grilled brioche bun with chipotle aioli, spicy slaw, pickles and tomatoes). I ordered it without the the chipotle aioli, spicy slaw, pickles and tomatoes. We were seated in the front dining area and we could tell the building was larger so I decided to walk around a bit. I couldn't believe how much bigger it was! There were many more booths and tables and a full bar area with counter seating. The interior is tastefully decorated and clean and the entire building looks well taken care of. Our food arrived and looked delicious! We dug in and enjoyed each and every bite. Our server stopped in and we chatted with her a bit about my wife's experiences years ago at Annette's. This is a must stop if you are traveling near the area! We visit Oregon twice a year and want to make this a regular stop. Delicious!

    My husband and I stopped for brunch. We both had the specials. They were amazing! The drinks were great. The service was amazing! I used to come to Come here when it was Iggy's. When I was a child my Mom performed live music when it was the Western Gentry. This place brings back so many fond memories!!! The decor is amazing as well. I love going here.

    Covered patio

    Food was amazing,staff is super friendly and accommodating! Passed by on our way back to California with our dog and they allowed our dog on their warm covered patio! Definitely recommend this spot to everyone!

There are not a lot of other dining options in the area, so Fireside is a pretty easy choice. The food is just OK. Definitely stuff that is mass-produced and heated on-site.

The real standout here was the friendliness of the staff. Everybody I interacted with was very friendly and helpful.

In the last couple of visits, though, it's different. My past history here prevents me from giving it a 2-star review. I know there has been a management change, and it shows. Some of my favorite staff have departed, seeking greener pastures. The reason for this review now is my most recent purchase ... a $17 glass of Pudding River Pinot Gris. When I found out the price as I cashed out, I felt robbed. I can drive less than 9 miles away and buy a whole bottle for $25. My previous glass of wine that evening was an $8 chardonnay from another local winery. I figured the Pinot Gris couldn't be much more than the Chard, especially one from Pudding River, which I've personally visited so I know their bottle prices. So, before you buy anything at the Fireside Lounge, ask the price. Don't be surprised (aka robbed) as I was.

In addition, the menu also offers a number of vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options for guests looking for something to suit their dietary needs. What I love most about Silver Falls Brewery is the many seating options. The restuarant has balcony seating, as well as an outdoor courtyard with a fair number of tables. In addition, the interior dining room has several large family-style tables that can accomodate large groups. This establishment does a fair amount of business during the spring and summer months when tourist activity is heavy, yet they somehow manage to swiftly seat, serve, and care for guests without compromising on service. The drinks are great, service comes with a smile, and I'm here for supporting local businesses that always shine brightly.
