10. Cafe Ruch
Reviewed By RLRaceGirl
We have been here many times and we always love the food and atmosphere. Very casual, like an old diner feel, and the food is wonderful. Freshly prepared, lots of weekday specials to keep you coming back. They have a whole refrigerator of beers and wine and such to buy, along with 3-4 local beers on tap. We highly recommend the pastrami, and the gyro. Lots of meat in their sandwiches and lots of fun time along the way. Great place to stop when wine tasting to get a break from the normal fare.

We were traveling through the area at dinner time and chose it because of the great reviews although I wasnât even in a burger mood. The food was amazing! There were creative combinations as well as classics. They also had neat wild game burger options such as elk, buffalo, and camel. My beef burger had huckleberry jam and jalapeño cream cheese on it which was delicious! We are gonna try this combo on our burgers at home! My boyfriend had an elk burger that he couldnât stop talking about! As we were eating and for the rest of the day he kept saying âwowâ and âthat was a good burgerâ although he is not one to get excited or impressed over much. We ate here as part of a 24 day road trip through Washington, Oregon, Montana, and Wyoming where we were eating 1-2 meals out per day and this was our favorite meal of the trip in regards to the taste of the food!!! The outside of the small restaurant doesnât look impressive but the food and service is great! Highly recommend!!!!

Stopped in for a cold drink after a little wine tasting. Travis the bartender was very nice and friendly. We came back Sunday for another drink and enjoyed a few of the locals. Jacksonville is our new favorite small town in Oregon!

I so wanted to like this restaurant, but, frankly, I was disappointed.Hubs and I stopped here for dinner on a cold, December night. A perfect evening for barbecue!I had the ribs. Hubs had the peppered pork loin. We both started with salad - the ranch dressing was great! A promising start!But, alas, the night went downhill for me from that point. Hubs received a generous portion of pork and really liked it. He wasn't that thrilled about his side of onion rings. Way too greasy.I received a nice size portion of pork ribs. However, they were quite fatty and managed to be sopping with liquid and overdry at the same time. I think they were braised when proper BBQ is smoked. But they were overcooked, then drenched in watery sauce. The baked beans I chose as my side were almost inedible. VERY HOT - spice-wise. And I survived New Mexico with all of its chilies. Not a whole lot of flavor, just plan HOT. Later on that evening and early the next day, I regretted my decision to eat even the small portion that I did. Restaurant was tired-looking. I think they were trying to look rustic, but the place just looked worn. Scuffed tables and chairs. Poor lighting. Kind of depressing, despite the pretty Christmas tree in the front room.And what's with the continuous roll fabric towel in the bathroom? Haven't seen those in more than a couple of decades! ICK!If I were to go back, I'd try a sandwich with salad. Maybe those would be better.

I wasn't overwhelmed by the food served here but their outdoor patio is magical with wonderful green tree coverage overhead and little lights and flowers adding to the atmosphere. This is one of our local Medford, Oregon relative's favorite restaurant and their salad entrees were good. But the chicken parmesan dinner wasn't very tasty....needed more tomato sauce and to be made a bit more crispy or oily. It was rather dry. The char entree was good. The house salad also needed to up its game with some nicer greens instead of the romaine lettuce. It was also quite small. But again, the atmosphere and lively clientele and service make it a nice dinner out in this cute western style town of Jacksonville

C ST. Bistro, opened in winter 2011, and is a true gem in a old miners town. Using locally sourced ingredients we have a love for letting ingredients speak for themselves.

Freshly ground top sirloin is part of what makes these burgers the best! Then, they are cooked perfectly and topped with the freshest and best ingredients. My favorite are the Forager with flavorful, wild mushrooms! side dish of fingerling potatoes or the wonderful tomato basil soup!

The Mustard Seed Cafe is a tiny little restaurant, but perfect for breakfast or lunch.Hubs and I stopped here for a light lunch before going wine-tasting. We both had the soup and half-sandwich combination.We chose the Hungarian Mushroom Soup. I have the recipe and use it often, so we knew what to expect - lots of flavorful mushrooms in a sour cream and paprika broth. YUM! I don't remember what types of sandwiches we had, but the half sandwich was small - if you're a hungry person, order the full sandwich. Flavor was good, but it wasn't real filling.No ambiance. Good service even though it was busy. Restrooms are in a different building but they ARE heated (thank you!). Again, tiny restaurant.I would definitely come here again.

Great service from Jori. A truly wonderful waitress. But beyond that, the food was excellent. We all had different things, all arrived together and beautiful presentation. We are a picky group of ten eaters and everyone liked their food. Curry, delicious eggplant lasagna, kebabs, lamb....everyone loved it. Bread tasty, dinner salads light and flavorful. Desserts were good, lots of choices. Fun, fun place and super elegant.I am pleased that Pam enjoyed her dining experience at the Jacksonville Inn. The strength of the JVI is our wonderful Employees and Jori is one of the best.
