Experience the Difference in Every Bite
At our Madras location, just like our Redmond Pub, we take pride in crafting every dish with care. From house-made cheese sauce to our signature dipping sauces, we create our recipes in-house with passion. For the few items we don’t make ourselves, we partner with local Oregon businesses to bring you the best the region has to offer. We prioritize allergen-friendly dining, dedicating our fryers to gluten-free options so you can savor everything from crispy fries to our hand-breaded chicken worry-free. Our knowledgeable staff is here to help accommodate your dietary needs, ensuring a safe and satisfying dining experience. Browse our current menu below and taste the care we put into every meal!
