Barren Fork Brews

I am such a big fan of this place! The food is excellent. It feels upscale but also familiar and affordable. The regular menu is great (shoutout to the smash burger, fried green tomatoes and the forking’ berry fresh salad with chicken) but I REALLY love the brunch and seasonal items! Also, they have the best caramel latte in town and their beer and cocktail selections are top notch. I can’t recommend this place enough and I’m so glad they are in the community now!

My husband and I stumbled on this gem. The service and vibe were excellent! The coffee was some of the best we’ve ever had. I enjoyed the hot honey chicken and cornbread. My husband had the pork Mac and cheese bowl. We enjoyed tiramisu for dessert. If you are in McMinnvile, stop at Barren River Brews!

Such a pleasant surprise, finding this place on a slow morning. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. Thoughtful touches such as toys for kids and fresh flowers. Then the food was delightful. Try the raspberry pistachio latte if you get a chance. We will definitely be back soon!

My partner and I took the dog for a walk in downtown McMinnville and stopped by for an app and some wine on a Monday night. The entire staff was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable and warm-hearted. What a cute find, we will be coming back! 10/10 recommend.

We had the opportunity to eat here over the summer, and thoroughly enjoyed a lazy Saturday brunch on the patio. The service was fabulous, and we even had a table visit from the owners. Amber and Ashley have put so much thought into the menu and decor, and the small town/neighborhood vibe cannot be beat! By the time our entrees came we were so into the food we forgot to take pictures. I promise it was amazing!
