If you’ve read some of my recent posts, Brenda and I have been taking short day trip hikes to local waterfalls. This was a trip to the Sweet Home, Oregon area to hike McDowell Creek Falls<\/a>. (Highly recommend the falls hike).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On our way, we stopped at The Point<\/a>, just outside of Sweet Home. Not much to look at from the outside and kind of a diner atmosphere inside. Somewhere, I read you had a “view” to the water. As you can see from the picture, it’s a view (sort of) to Foster Reservoir. OK.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the food and service were surprisingly good! I ordered the special of the day, a Chipotle Burger. Cooked perfectly with 1\/3 lb local beef patty, bacon, chipotle sauce, lettuce, red onion and accompanied by some very good fries. My wife had the grilled cheese and it was awesome as well. Her only complaint was it had too much bacon. Yes, you heard that right, too much bacon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also have been trying NA beers and the only brand I have found I like is Deschutes out of Bend. They had a Golden that I hadn’t heard of and it was, in true Deschutes fashion, very good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our server was Becky and she was amazing. She greets the regulars by name, was very helpful and informative, but not too chatty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we were in this area again, we would definitely go back. Without hesitation. Great find!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
