A menu not compromised in any way with options for anyone. The house salad and fresh baked bread started the meal off with a follow up consisting of the most succulent and tender ribeye steaks I think we've ever eaten overall the meal was amazing. Fantastic service was beyond exceptional. Never had to wait for a thing. The hostess was right there the whole time. Fantastic experience overall absolutely love the place. Definitely will be going back.

An old diner in Ontario, home to local folks. The staff was…read morefriendly and ambience was okay, maybe dated a touch. I ordered the half plate of finger steaks. It comes with a two sides and a salad. I chose the twice baked potato. The finger steaks were great and the potato was pretty good. The green beans were fried with onion slices. The salad was a simple Caesar, but an ample amount of it. Not a bad meal for the price, and I didn't finish all of it. The food took a while to come out and it was fairly busy, but worth the wait.

The owner is often there and somehow seems to know almost every regular by name - it gives the place a true family-run feel that's hard to fake. The food is delicious, and the atmosphere is pure, nostalgic Americana. The old-garage aesthetic is done right, and the vintage cars that make regular appearances inside the bar add a seriously cool touch you don't see anywhere else. The staff is always friendly, and there's plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors, so it works just as well for a casual pint with a friend as it does for a larger get-together or event. If you're into it, there are also casino machines on-site for a little extra entertainment. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Bert's is absolutely worth the stop.

The Rocky Mountain oysters were way over cooked but good flavor. The salad was way under par with croutons that were hard and tomatoes that were slightly wilted and a hair in my wife's salad. Very underwhelming for a meal, with tip, of almost $200 for 2 people.

The Sirloin with 2 sides is only around $13 compared with almost double that on the dinner menu. Good specials on drinks too. Summer took great care of me. She's excellent. Even though baked potatoes aren't supposed to be ready that early she got me one. I got the lunch rib plate, which is a huge beef rib (although a little smaller than it used to be). It was mostly meat and not much fat. Way too much for me to eat, it provided lunch the next day as well. I brought home a burger to my wife, which was also cooked perfectly. It's a fun old-fashioned place to go to. Lots of animal heads on the walls and cowboy type things. This is in the old Sizzler right off the freeway and just into Oregon. They are owned by the same people as Indian Creek steak in Caldwell. Happy hour and lunch prices are very good, dinner prices can easily be $50 or more. their happy hour runs until 6 o'clock every day, which is great.

We ordered a steak sandwich with tater tos, adding a side salad. The tots were crispy golden. The salad was fresh, crouton-y with fresh tiny tomatoes, cucumber and grated cheeses. The sandwich pickle slice was crispy, the sandwich good. Will we return? Next time we visit Ontario before 8 p.m.

I told em' I should get a free hat much as I tell my pals ta go eat in da joint. The babe waiting on us couldn't do it .. don't matter I'll eat here when I pass thru Ontario anyhow. The Irish Red ain't bad if yas has a driver. (It's way way good!) But on the side a this and almost as important as da food is the servers here. Never been one that was anything less than absolutely professional, got my order right and was cordial and warm. Every dang time! This is no bunk. I am happy to part with some a my cabbage here. If yer drifting through Ontario Oregon it's duck soup to pull the ol' boiler off the hiway for an hour or so, gas up, and fill yer ownself up at Mackey's at the same time. I never had anything I didn't like off the menu. Look around when yer in dis joint. Might see Hammer and a couple of his brothers sucking down a lil' grub, you nevah know. Even if yas don't there's good folks here and good company. OK, I'm done chinning.

From the brick walls, to the cowboy accents, dark wood beams in the ceilings and animal heads on the wall, it seems a little kitschy but it's really not. I never heard about this place until they posted on Facebook looking for people to lunch with them and I'm so incredibly happy I lunched. We were pleasantly greeted by the hostess with a "sit anywhere you want" and a huge smile. We picked a nice little two-seater in the corner. The lunch menu is very reasonably priced with an assortment of mouth watering options like a hot pastrami sandwich, chicken bacon ranch sandwich, burgers, you name it...all coming with chips and a choice of side. A steal for all that food! I ordered the Hot pastrami sandwich with chips and a side salad, hubby got the patty melt with chips and upgraded to the macaroni and cheese side. Soft drinks are served in goblet style wine glasses which made me feel a little hoity-toity but in a cool way. Food did take a little longer than I expected to come out, but it wasn't a bother....it gave us time to chat and appreciate the vibe. Food looked absolutely delectable when it arrived; everything looked freshly cooked, salad was sparkling with fresh cut veggies and the chips were just the right amount. One bite into that hot pastrami sandwich and I had a moment of pure bliss. That pastrami was perfectly sliced, cheese melted, coleslaw was fresh, mustard had more of a tap instead of a kick and crispy pickles. Every bite made me eager for the next. Hubby gave me a bite of the macaroni and cheese to try and it tasted homemade...creamy! Hubby also thoroughly enjoyed his patty melt...patty was medium as ordered, melty cheese and grilled bread. We can't wait to visit again for lunch soon and dinner as well! This is absolutely my new favorite place!
