The Not So Boring Bar And Grill

WOW! Boring Oregon has been needing some amazing pizza and let me tell you what. This homemade stuff down to the dough and sauce is AMAZING! The head chef is extremely nice and the bartenders are very sweet. This is a great stop on your way to the mountain for a quick cocktail and some delicious homemade food.. I mean seriously, even the ranch is house made. Taste just like moms cooking! Must try ♡

I haven't been there since the late 80's, the place had gone way downhill. Not so anymore. Based on some posts here my wife and I drove in yesterday to check things out. Nicely re-done interior decor, family friendly, good music, friendly people....BUT....the burgers (in my case a Mushroom Swiss) told the tale. Meat sourced locally and EXCELLENT. Also, I'm normally not a Tater Tots fan but on a whim I ordered those while my wife did the fries. These Tots are the best I've ever had in a restaurant. Their pizza gets a lot of Likes locally, but we haven't tried that. Yet. Like all restaurants they struggled during the severe lockdowns, but they're back to serving indoor or out. We wish them the very best in this regard, and we will most certainly be going back for more. TWO THUMBS UP!!!!!!!!!

Air-conditioned, open floor plan so it didn't feel crowded or cramped. Very clean. New owners just bought the place a week ago. I had a Cyclone Chicken sandwich. Grilled chicken, pepper jack, sautéed mushrooms, onions, and jalapeños. It also comes with bell peppers, but I don't care for them. I got Cajun tots to go with. The sandwich was very good. Nice amount of jalapeños. I didn't feel there were enough mushrooms, so I asked for more, and I got a nice cup full! The bun it came on was very good as well. Soft, kinda sweet. The ranch dip is Uncle Dan's, which is the best and my favorite ranch. I make it at home often. I do suggest they invest in new chairs. Some of the older, wooden bar chairs should stay, and there are a few that should be retired because they are rickety. I don't care for the napkins being used. It's a nicer establishment that I feel should have nice, fabric napkins, and provide silverware. I got a knife in my grilled chicken burger, but no fork. I had to use my fingers to get the mushrooms out of the cup and onto my sandwich. I didn't want to use the little sharp knife to do that. I could have, but a spoon or fork would have been better. We will be back. I probably sound very picky, but I am really just trying to give constructive criticism. I was in food service for many years as a cook, waitress, hostess, bartender, delivery driver, supervisor, manager, dishwasher. I had a couple of good bosses along the way who taught me the right ways and the wrong ways to do things. A pet peeve of mine is that every single restaurant I have been to, fills the salt and pepper shakers, parmesan cheese shakers, etc, all the way to the top. Then what happens? Your guests have to take the lid off to get anything to come out. Please, leave room for the stuff to be shaken out! I promise you it works so much better, and it doesn't make it look like you don't stock condiments. It still will be close to the top, and your patrons will appreciate it. 😊 We will definitely be back. It was a great lunch. 😊
