Tates Umapine Mercantile

I live in Japan where good American pie is impossible to find. That’s why I travel to Tates in Umapine Oregon. Sure I have to travel 5864 miles to get good pie but it goes to show just how good the homemade pie is. All of the food is homemade and the owner is the cook and baker. If you’re into pie like I am, go to Tates for the best pie of the Pacific. When you go to Tates, make sure to say hi to Tara for me.

I was passing through Milton freewater and was looking for a great local spot. I stumbled upon a place that was in a little town I hadn't heard of(newish to area). It's in an older building and inside is a very cozy feel. One could tell the inside had not been updated you much(which is amazing). It has a well used and well maintained feel to the place. A selection of a few quick grab food items, drinks, and some local made good. The owner/cook/meal prep/server informed me they were in between meals and only had deli sandwiches. I asked if they were more of a place with a rotating menu and one just sees what's for food. She said pretty much and I thought it great. Better to have one very well made meal than a bunch of them made in a haste. So I had a simple but well made turkey sandwich w

Tara and Rob catered our son’s Rehearsal dinner. The Tri-tip was absolutely perfect, the sides and desserts (there were 5🤤) were outstanding! Milton Freewater is so lucky to have them in this community!!!

HUCKLEBERRY JAM!!! If you ain't at TATES... This is a place that needs a small amount of recognition. not too much though, because I want to keep my seat! FRIED CHICKEN FRIDAYS, chicken takes 2 days to make, and it is most likely a top secret family recipe...

Went for my first time last Friday night and had their pulled pork tacos. They were absolutely to die for. I plan on going back to give them a try for lunch next week.
