Brand 44° N — Restaurant in Oregon

Absolutely love their food but this is the second poor experience I have had there. With that being said the food is no longer worth it. First poor experience our waitress never came over to check on us to take our order. We had to go through the hostess and we had already been waiting outside for awhile. After the the waitress still never attended to us the rest of the time. The second time was mothers days. Understandable the busiest days of the year but thought I would give it another go because I love the food. We get there and parking was an absolute mess. There was a two hour wait. Which we expected and gave our number decided to run errands while we wait. We barely could get out of our parking spot because people decided that parking along the fence next to the road of the hardware store was a good idea. Completely blocking those who parked in the correct parking spots in. After two hours of not receiving a phone call we come back and were told it was still another hour!! For two people. Unless we wanted to sit at the bar. Being pregnant already waiting two hours and then my only option was to sit at the bar and that “all kinds of people sit at the bar sit there, Christian’s, pastors.” Just absolutely insulting. I saw that I wasn't the only person who was pissed off about incorrect wait times. And if you are still that far behind and gave out the wrong wait time, probably should have stopped taking names until you were caught up just ensure customers experiences.Then I addressed to the hostess about the cars parked that are blocking people in like us and barely able to get out. By the time we were done eating the cars were still there and nothing was done. Worst mothers days experience ever. And absolutely no control over your parking lot. The atmosphere and the food is not...

We were invited to brunch on New Year’s with some friends who are foodies. They recommended Brand 44 N, which we haven’t tried, but it was a good sign that their parking lot was packed!

We entered the venue and we met with a great little sign, if you have mood poisoning, stay home! The vibe was wonderful and it was a bustling warm and cozy establishment. Even though it was busy, we were seated immediately, and our server was fantastic.

My kids have some food allergies (gluten & dairy), and she was fantastic about knowing the menu or making confirmations on possible alternatives. However, one of the most impressive parts of the visit was a wonderful lady providing samples of fresh donut holes. Because my kids couldn’t have the donut holes due to their food allergies, I passed (even though they looked terrific). Get this, we order our breakfast (corn beef skillet which was lights out, huevos rancheros which my son loved, and toast & bacon which my daughter loved) and this beautiful person brings out TWO full size chocolate sprinkle donuts for my kids that are dairy free and gluten free! She also brings me two donut holes to try and says she didn’t want us to be left out…I mean, come on! Who does that these days. Maybe at the Ritz or something but at a local diner? Very impressive and a shout out to the ownership and management of this establishment.

We loved our visit, the food was top notch (one of our favorite breakfast joints ever), and will...

I just had to get on and leave a little review to say, I have only been here twice. The first time, my BLT was just fine, nothing special. Second time I went, I got a FANTASTIC chicken fried steak. BUT, my review is for the service. I had two different servers between my two visits, and both women were just absolute angels. They really made a defined my experience here as overwhelming positive. I wish I had either of their names, but rest assured, Brand 44 has some great servers running that place.

(On my last visit in particular, my husband and I were having a very difficult morning, and we were both very sad. After we ate a few bites, we decided neither of us really had the appetite we thought we did, and even though the food had basically just came out, our wonderful server packed up everything for us, drinks and all. She didn't ask any questions, or make us feel weird, she was just a gentle spirit and non judgemental. She left me feeling a little lighter on the way out, just by being kind.)

Eat here and tip those...
