“It is hard to find good breakfast in this area and Cafe 22 hits the spot. I love their peaches, the pancake thickness isnt overly cakey and hard to swallow. The bacon is thick and cooked just right. The raspberry jam is real raspberry jam. The water mentioned in the another review is because they are on a well so it does taste little bit more tinnish, a lemon wedge in my water cured that. Stopped by the fruit stand for fresh strawberries, on the spendy side, but oh the flavor, absolutely nothing beats an Oregon strawberry. Had I known they did strawberry short cake, I woulda skipped the breakfast and went straight to the fruit stand.“

“Walking into Bentley’s felt like stepping into a Christmas postcard—the entryway decked out in festive décor set the perfect cozy vibe.

- Apricot-cured pork belly tacos with pickled shallots + cilantro for the perfect balance of flavor.
- Blackened salmon over pea lentils and leeks—perfectly balanced.
- Mac n’ cheese leveled up with smoked gouda, bacon, and a juicy chicken breast.
- Daily special: pea risotto with chanterelle mushrooms (don’t judge the pic, it was divine!).

IIf you’re craving that warm holiday ambiance and unforgettable bites, Bentley’s is the Salem icon you need to visit this season.“

“I had a late lunch at Applebee's in Salem, Oregon today 12/9/25. The server's name was Anya. She has a great smile, she's kind, personable, attentive, yet not overbearing. She warned me that the Cajun pasta dish I was ordering may be too spicy for some people, which I appreciated. The dish came in an appropriate amount of time. The meal was hot, and it was spicy, yet for me the meal was just right, and well prepared. Server Anya asked if I wanted my coffee filled, which I did and she brought me a whole new fresh cup. At the end Anya thanked me for coming in, told me about a burger special being ran during the holidays and invited me back. Wonderful service and an excellent meal. I will definately be back!“

“The most special-occasion restaurant I patronize. Classy ambience, view, sharp personnel. As a senior dining alone I don't feel as comfortable here as I would at Josey's, say, otherwise I would patronize them weekly. I lunch only, and have had what I would call pub grub. Regulars who review on other forums report that the kitchen is capable of performing at a very high level. An exceptional venue for Salem and it deserves to live.“
