Best breakfast place in Salem, Oregon! Fantastic vibe, amazing food, loved Xochitl, our waitperson…read moreand Lindsay the owner is so lovely and personable. A must!!!

Otters are easily one of my favorite animals and I absolutely loved the decor here. The walls are…read morelined with art depicting otters doing human things. Hanging from the ceiling are roughly a dozen colorful umbrellas. There is no shortage of visuals in this restaurant. The food: Beignets - we tried the classic and the Berry White. Both were great, but I'd give a slight nod to the original. The one buried in powdered sugar helps keep the texture of the Beignet. The Pickle Gambit - super thinly lengthwise sliced pickles in a light batter. Comes with chipotle aioli and ranch. Good portion size. One of the best fried pickles I've ever had. Ned's 5-Alarm Chicken - really good crust and very flavorful. One regret is we didn't go waffles with this. Lemon Poppyseed Slaw - tastes like a classic slaw. A little sweet and creamy. Goes really well with the heavier dishes that we got. The Shrimp Incident - small shrimp and sliced sausage with a Cajun cream sauce and crostini. We thought this was ok Country Mac - my favorite part was the fried chicken as it was very tender and flavorful. The shell shaped pasta was cooked al dente - it was firmer than I would like partly due to the pasta being on the thick side. The Mac is Cajun forward and not very cheesy. Staff was very friendly. We enjoyed our meal, but it was definitely on the heavier side and could have used something to balance it out.

You must go to Willamette Valley Smokehouse. It is just the best, they smoke everything. They are a…read moretruck, but a large one with a huge seating area where you will be cool and comfortable. They keep the place ever so clean. The service is just down home friendly. They will take good care of you and happy you will be. Their food is great, even their sides are something to ge extra of and take home or back to your hotel. The pulled pork sandwich is our favorite. They have the best sauce too. We love their baked beans- home made- and their potato salad is super. Their jalapeno peppers are hot, but good. They often have live music outdoors and that is fun. They have a seafood fest on Friday, at least they did when we were there and it is so good and a great price. BBQ oysters are great as is the crab. There really is nothing not to like here.

Went to Willamette Valley Smokehouse on a whim with my husband because he was wanting to try the…read morefood, and I'm glad we did! The first thing I noticed was the ambiance and the music. It was the perfect spot for a casual evening out. We had a couple of drinks, a cider and a Japanese lager, and really enjoyed the atmosphere. The musician playing that night was fantastic! He had a great song selection, and his voice was hauntingly beautiful. I'm not a huge barbecue person because I prefer my meals to have a little more variety than just meat, but I did enjoy the brisket and the pork belly. The sides were just okay for me. I'm from the South, where we take our potato salad seriously, so I wasn't the biggest fan of theirs but I did really enjoy the beans and the corn salad. I'll definitely be back for the music, a drink, and the laid-back atmosphere. It's a great place for a casual evening out!
