It frankly amazes me that you can get such…read moreconsistently good food and consistently friendly and attentive service regardless of whether you are visiting here during peak hours or close to closing on a weeknight at this small community bar half way up the canyon. They are just that committed to taking care of people, and it shows. The negative reviews here are hilarious! You can walk in wearing a tuxedo if you want to (if you do, definitely lead with that in your review because it definitely helps... uhhhh... set "context"). They'll still make you a great burger, but don't blame the locals if you feel out of place, or it drips yummy deliciousness on your Armani, or you had to wait a few minutes before they realized you don't know how to respect the busy staff of one enough to place your order at the bar if you're in a hurry. I think they have a staff of 30 or so, a Tesla Supercharger, and your "The Metropolitan" cocktail waiting at Red Robin back in town if you're into that sort of thing. If you're expecting heat lamp fast-food or a tour of the wine cellar, you might... ...you know what, fuck it, this review is getting way too long, you already got the idea, and I'd rather be at the Red Barn.

Yeah.... No. Unless you have three teeth, a lifted chevy, or…read morestill wear Seven jeans, this is probably a bar to avoid. Food=yeesh. Bartender absent while customers wait.

Traveling to Bend from Salem…read more I missed the exit for the first restaurant YELP recommended so we pushed on to find this GEM of a cafe. It's small......just a few tables so you might think it's just a shop, at least we did at first glance. But we were hungry and decided to give it a try. Their hours are only 11:00-2:00 and we were handed a lunch menu. We had wanted breakfast but the cook said she'd be happy to make us some eggs and bacon with toast. She tossed in some delicious country potatoes and fruit too! The coffee was fresh and delicious! Service was exceptional. Felt almost like family. So much I almost offered to help with dishes ;-) We were even given some coconut cake ("the first piece is free") It was a wonderful start to the last leg of our trip. It was one of the best experiences we've had during our travels over the years.

(Highly recommend the falls hike). On our way, we stopped at The Point, just outside of Sweet Home. Not much to look at from the outside and kind of a diner atmosphere inside. Somewhere, I read you had a "view" to the water. As you can see from the picture, it's a view (sort of) to Foster Reservoir. OK. However, the food and service were surprisingly good! I ordered the special of the day, a Chipotle Burger. Cooked perfectly with 1/3 lb local beef patty, bacon, chipotle sauce, lettuce, red onion and accompanied by some very good fries. My wife had the grilled cheese and it was awesome as well. Her only complaint was it had too much bacon. Yes, you heard that right, too much bacon. I also have been trying NA beers and the only brand I have found I like is Deschutes out of Bend. They had a Golden that I hadn't heard of and it was, in true Deschutes fashion, very good. Our server was Becky and she was amazing. She greets the regulars by name, was very helpful and informative, but not too chatty. If we were in this area again, we would definitely go back. Without hesitation. Great find!

The small pieces were the only drawback. Sweet potato fries rounded out our meal. Melted marshmallows with some cinnamon or pumpkin spice would have been a great accompaniment with the sweet potato fries. Dessert was their luscious coconut cream pie. The crust was crunchy, pie itself was smooth and just slid down your throat into belly heaven. A must try for sure! Atmosphere was calm with a few other diner. Flies swirled about overhead in the main dining room and saw cobwebs hanging on a lamp by the window.

The blossoms were good but the brussel sprouts were absolutely yummy- crispy crunchy with a mustard sweet chili sauce that was just the right flavors to add depth to the dish. For cocktails we tried the smoked peach old fashion which were dangerously delicious. Oh the entrees...words are inadequate to describe how good the entrees were. The pork chop and beef medallions entrees were so tender and flavorful and cooked to perfection. The chimichurri on the beef medallions was vibrant, herbaceous, with a little spicy heat. My friend had the pork chop and she said it was the best she has had. Food aside, the Magnolia Grill wait staff were phenomenal. We were greeted warmly and immediately once in the door. We were seated right away and the ambiance of the restaurant is very welcoming. The staff were attentive, professional, and friendly. We had the best service we've had in a restaurant in years. I would definitely recommend 100%. This was our first visit but will not be our last!

The staff are hard working and friendly, & they do trivia night on Thursday and usually have a band every couple weeks on Saturday nights. The roll up door is definitely a cool touch. Breakfast is available on Fri-Sun and it's the best spot in town IMO. Their avocado toast is really go. They can be pretty busy at times but I've never had an unreasonable wait time... the back of house is as skilled and hardworking as the FOH. They do have a large space to accommodate bigger groups and are kid friendly on the side opposite the bar. There is a variety of seating types- tall tables, short tables and front row seats at the bar to choose from. I would definitely recommend making a trip to downtown Stayton to give this business a try.
