Hale's Tavern - Hermiston

Something has changed with this restaurant. The food isn't as good as it used to be. We were regulars until the Last time I went in. I ordered take out @825pm after I had just got stitches from the hospital and couldn't cook. I was told a 15-20 min wait. So I went back to the bar(my 1st time back there) it was packed and busy so I sat at the bar to wait for my food. The bartender rudely told me she was closed and no longer serving. This was 8:30pm. I said I'm just waiting for my food and then she offered me a drink. ?I went back up to the front after my beer and waited for my food watching people pick up their to go food, and others that were seated after I ordered my food eating. I was confused. At 9pm, I asked what happened to my order and the waitress that was extremely nice, went back and asked the chef, came out and said the chef had already put away everything in the fridge, therefore he couldn't make 2 of my meals. My son got his spaghetti n meatballs(the container was a huge mess and covered in sauce as if it had been tipped over) but my husband and I didn't get ours. I got a partial refund but I wasn't happy because by then, everything was closed. We went back again to try again hoping it would be better. I ordered a roast beef with au jus that was nothing but grizzle, fat and like rubber.i couldn't even bite through the meat. It was so disgusting. It's a shame because we used to really love this place but the service in the bar and the chefs food is not worth it. I gave it one star because the waitresses are really friendly.

Always great service great food and great atmosphere

Both omelets where burnt with a thick rubbery tan layer of egg. Meat was fatty and grisly. Place used to be good. It has gone dowhill. Last time I will eat there. Cook and server obviously didn't care and served it. Food is overpriced.

If you're hungry want something good to eat definitely stop there I'm sure the locals know about it but if you happen to be cruising through make sure you stop.

It is hit and miss, sometimes you get a good steak sometimes not, more not lately!!! They also charge extra when you use a credit card!!!
