Valley Commissary

Nice to have a casual place with healthy options. The only thing I found really weird was they left the ribs in the kale. Who does that? It’s like eating sticks. I have never seen even an unprofessional, at home cook, leave the ribs in kale. But, all in all, a nice addition to our wonderful town!

Went in for the first time today on a lunch date with my husband. We both ordered the burger. The first bite was amazing! Juicy and full of flavor, the mushrooms and onion were seasoned perfectly. It’s then I noticed my burger was still bleeding! We did order medium, but I have never been served a burger that was only cooked literally on the outside. My husbands was the same way. I did mention this to the staff and they had no problem with cooking a new burger for me. Unfortunately, the new burger was cooked to the point of crunchy and tough to chew, they also failed to put any of the yummy toppings on. When I mentioned that to the server she just said, «I will make sure they know about that». I have a feeling they were well aware. The fries were very good and exactly how McMenamins used to make their shoe string fries. It was a bit spend for just a burger and limp pickle.

Tastes awesome and amazingly fresh, would recommend to anyone! Love the use of local produce. Menu regularly changes, depending on availability of ingredients. Owner truly takes pride in ingredients, menus and preparation.

Fabulous food! Nice staff. There are usually some little differences with ingredients with their regular menu items depending on what is currently fresh and in season which makes going there even more fun. Good atmosphere although it can can a little loud when it’s full so just something to consider if you are looking for a quiet place to eat. I wish they kept more than one microbrew available on any given day however, having said that, I have tried a few beers I may never have otherwise! All in all a very good place to eat and I will be back often.

Ate there yesterday. Great food, healthy, tasty. I enjoyed the generous toasted beet salad and kale/​squash soup. Others reported fried chicken sandwich, roasted butternut squash sandwich, fries and mac & cheese were excellent. Prices reasonable for great food.

We are from out of town just visiting family wife and I stopped for lunch I had pork belly sandwich with mushroom soup she had the chicken sandwich with fries omg good fresh fresh ingredients pork belly tasted wonderful soup so good I could eat a gallon wife’s sandwich out of this world plus fries as good any from the south we are coming back tomorrow for breakfast

Another one of McMinnville treasurers. Love the atmosphere. Love the food. You read what is in the sandwich and you say. really? Then, you eat it… YES REALLY!

Really good food, I had the fries, butternut squash soup and the burger.
Soup was at perfect temperature, with a perfect blend of sweetness and savory.
The burger was superb in taste, the bun a little too springy for my liking.
Fries were perfectly salted and the aioli was really good.
the chefs seem like the like working there and care for their clients. I got asked once how my food was by both of them.

Absolutely THE place to get a meal in McMinnville. Great local/​seasonal food — Your only problem will be deciding what to eat. Friendly and professional waitstaff. Great options for kids plus a rotating selection of beer/​wine on tap. My favorites are the fried chicken sandwich with kale slaw, the burger, and of course… The pastrami. Oh and any of their specials… just order anything! Can’t wait for my next visit.

Here’s why this place works:
–quality of ingredients (fresh, local, flavorful)
–prepared by inspired chefs
–made to order
–homemade everything
–inventive and unique
Definitely one of my go-​to lunches in wine country. My favorite is the friend chicken sandwich. So crunchy, tangy and juicy on super yummy fresh bread with kale slaw. I have serious cravings for that sandwich sometimes.

Stopped in for a quick bite, ordered a couple of sandwiches. Both were really nicely prepared with tons of flavor and fresh ingredients. The food is not typical, there is a very creative flair to it, with some flavorful ingredients you would not normally put together, but they do and it works. Really small menu, food is interesting and really good. Love the interior with roll up doors, cement floors, roomy tables. Its so fresh and clean.

Great meal! Had the ‘Mercia burger and the fried chicken sandwich. The sandwich was more of a po boy style and it was delicious. And it had kale, so that offsets the whole fried thing.

This place is off the hook for freshness. Everything is local, baked fresh every day. Menu changes according to what the farmers bring in. Staff is friendly and welcoming. It doesn’t matter what you order, it’s al fantastic. Def coming here again.

Fantastic, gourmet, food. Best burger and fries in Mac. Always interesting specials. Friendly and efficient service. A little spendy for me to eat lunch there all the time, but we’ll worth it when you can. I only hope they expand hours.

I loved this place! I have been driving by wanting to stop and finally made the time today. I wish they were open for happy and dinner I could so see myself enjoying their fries with aoili with a glass of wine.
I got the blb with no bacon (im a vegetarian) and the chef asked if I wanted fennel, great addition! everything is well seasoned, the atmosphere is open and friendly. The wait staff offered me water while I wait and they were all super friendly. I will definitely be back. Please open for dinner!

Really enjoyed the Caesar salad with «cornbread crumbs»… My initial reaction from a visual standpoint was that it was overdressed but it was just the right amount. The bitterness from the kale mixed in with the greens was a nice balance. My burger was pretty tasty, definitely high quality beef but our medium rare request seemed kind of overlooked. Kind of regretting not getting the duck breast special, it sounded bomb! I’ll be back.

This place is incredible. The food is delicious – let me cap that. The food is DELICIOUS. I came down from Portland to visit family, and had easily the best meal I’ve ever had in McMinnville. Had the soup of the day (something with cauliflower and fennel – I would have taken a pint of soup home if I could), and had the falafel sandwich. All made from scratch, all totally DELICIOUS.
If you’re in McMinnville, this spot is worth seeking out.

I try to make it here once every two weeks for lunch. I’ve never been disappointed. What stands out about this place is that from the food to the service, the staff cares. Everything is genuine.
Not sure what to order, don’t worry. Just ask, take the daily special, or close your eyes and point. You won’t be disappointed.

Stopped in for a quick lunch on the way out of town. Fantastic experience… everything comes together flawlessly: friendly service, open/​welcoming space, inventive food and great music. I love the vibe in here — it complemented the fabulous food. We had olives for the table, watermelon/​tomato soup, kale/​beet salad and pork belly gnocchi. Perfectly balanced flavor and textures. We’ll definitely return next time we’re visiting the area.

Excellent service and delish food! Valley Commissary is a welcome addition to McMinnville. Try the chickpeas and the summer veggie sandwich. They have beer and wine if you dig it. I’m very picky about the service I receive and I have only kudos so far!
