Chili Pepper Cafe - Oregon

Came up to visit Oregon for some tubing and needed some lunch on the way out. We were intrigued by the slots in this town so we stopped at Messie's, plus it's a great name. Clearly a local spot, but staff was nice and showed us to the outdoor seating area. We asked what was good on the menu and overwhelmingly she stated the chicken done anyway. Boy was she right. Top chicken tenders I've had! Juicy, crispy, large portions too. My husband got the half chicken which was an insane amount of food while another friend got the quarter chicken. Definitely recommend the quarter for one. Fries, tots, curly or waffle, all excellent. The salad was weak but to be understood. Great deals on hard seltzer 5/$15 and a huge ****** Mary! Dropping stars because while the signs for wearing a mask are up, there was no evidence anyone even had a mask available. No sanitizer albeit the place seemed clean enough. Bathrooms were not ideal though. They did have stalls set up for the slots... I recommend getting takeout or coming back after covid goes away!

I had the half pound cheese burger and my husband had the black and blue burger. He especially enjoyed his. Good flavor, good Smokey and crispy bacon. Real hamburger not pre-made patties. I had the fries. They were okay. My husband had the hand made chips. They had really good flavor.

It's a nice little bar, in Oregon, Il I would go back, very busy at times..

On the outside it looks a bit foreboding, but Messie's has become one of our favorite local eats. It's your pretty standard bar fare menu, but the food is seriously delicious! I usually go for the chicken wraps, hubby like their Italians beefs, and we've tried a few different soups and liked them all.

Best chicken tenders in town. Great Friday fish fry too. Inside and outside seating. Great to ride motorcycles too and snowmobiling to messies is fantastic too
