My brother lives in Brookings and we went here for dinner.We ate on the patio. Was full inside but looked like everyone inside was eating and had food. We all ordered burgers. I had the bleu cheese burger for a couple dollars more. We waited a very long time for our food to come. About 40 minutes. I don't like raw onions and had to scrape them off the bottom of my bun...also tasted horseradish in something in the burger which I also don't care for. The hamburger itself tasted pretty good and the onion rings were awesome. Prices seemed ok $11.00 for burger with the fries or onion rings and $2.00 extra for the bleu cheese.....wait was waaaaaay too long, my brother said he usually doesn't wait so long for the food and that was a first.....Burgers were good after I scraped onion/mayo combo off!! Also, the waitress was very sweet...she came out a couple of times and checked on us and apologized for slow cooksThank you for the review and patients. If you expressed your dislike for onions the server should of informed you about the Aioli. I will look into this. We will always retoast a bun for you in the future. Cant really explain the horseradish flavor. We have it in the kitchen but only by request. Thank you again for the review. Travel safe. Cheers!!

Casual, Family Friendly , Great Seafood , Clam Chowder, Burgers ,BBQ Ribs, Chicken , Brisket , Salads, and Deserts

Their advertising is correct - the clam chowder really is the best in memory. The rarely available calamari steaks are tender but heavily breaded, come with an unusually good coleslaw and French fries. The Oregon Alevine Pinot Gris, $6 per glass, was a perfect accompaniment.This is a quite unpretentious diner type establishment with well-prepared seafood.

We made reservations at this rather interesting place. The restaurant area is below the art store. Arrived and no one in the store so walked down some rather worn and small stairs to the restaurant. Ordered our meal - all pretty standard. Waited and Waited. Eventually we were served some warm bread and 15 minutes later a very small salad - one slice tomato, one slice cucumber and a little lettuce. Waited a good 30 minutes for the main course to arrive during which time the waitress was able to avoid us. What arrived was not what we ordered. Overheard another patron complain of the same thing. Waitress offered to have the cook go out to obtain what was apparently was missing. In any event it took us almost 2 hrs to get a meal - not what we ordered and very unexciting. Did not live up to the ratings. Suggest go elsewhere.

On our last night in Brookings after a weeks stay we decided to try Oxenfre. We were greeted quickly and seated, our waiter, Jack was very energetic and seemed to truly enjoy his job. We placed our order for drinks and an appetizers, tempura deviled eggs. Again quickly arrived and the drinks were very good, but the deviled eggs were to die for. During this time we ordered our entrees, Korean short ribs and shrimp and grits. The short ribs that my wife had were yummy and full of flavor. Now, I am a lover of shrimp and grits, having lived in North Carolina previously. I have to say these were as good or better than any I have had. So after all of this, I guess Iâm saying, try it youâll like. And ask for Jack, heâs great!!!

Matties was established in 1982. We offer gluten free and egg white omelette. We get our smoked meats from Taylor's in cave junction. Our staff is amazing. Come visit us!
Reviewed By TheBestonOR101
Busy, busy place so go early or be patient. Service is great, food satisfying and prices pretty reasonable for the area. The only drawback for us is maneuvering through the tables. My spouse is handicapped and people can get irritated with our process to get seated. Since this place is not large, you should be aware of space constraints if you have similar issues.

Classic american menu.
Reviewed By charlesodonnell
Between Eureka and the Oregon border is the small town of Smith River. It is just north of the 199 highway cut-off through the redwoods to Highway 101. It has excellent food. A full service restaurant, but limited Gluten free options. Small wine list. Service and food were very good. This tribe has it figured out. Offer great service, large spacious rooms, add a few slots and a bar and you have the makings of a 4 star resort. Great place to stop driving if you have been going up or down Highway 1.
