I see it was my first time eating at this 51 year old establishment. I can see why the locals enjoy it and why law enforcement eats here. The service is good what's my favorite. Prices are fair. The quality is great. The portions are abundant. And the staff was very friendly and attentive. What a great first experience!

Best burgers in McMinnville! It's a hidden gem! I love getting a double cheese burger with a side of home fries. Great service, small town diner.

Best chicken in town with the friendliest staff. A family business that serves home-cooked meals. We eat here every week at least once but often more.

Best fried chicken in town. Beats KFC in quality and flavor. Best gizzards I've ever had; as tender as their livers.

The BEST cheeseburger in McMinnville, and I am so picky about my burgers! The food is always so fresh and delicious! Our new favorite spot!

Great chicken and service. The restaurant is a little quirky from an atmosphere standpoint but is still great. You definitely need to try the fried chicken.

Yes! The side salad has garden fresh tomato! For me a good burger has melted cheese on the wrapper, this one did not disappoint! Great place!!!

Always love the Chicken Chef. We’re out of towners and only eat there once a year, but the staff is always super friendly, the food is delicious, and the prices are more than fair
