Gem Creole Saloon - McMinnville

I had an amazing first experience at the Gem Creole Saloon. I tried the gin fizz, marionberry sour, voodoo fries, and biscuit bread pudding, all of which were delicious. Although the fish and chips (with catfish) weren't pictured, they were also fantastic. I can't wait to return and explore more items on their menu. The bartender was incredibly personable and left a lasting impression on me.

Heaven truly feels like a place on Earth. This was the most incredible culinary experience I've ever had. The service was fantastic, the atmosphere was delightful, and the food was simply outstanding. We enjoyed shrimp and grits, jambalaya, gumbo, and an impressive array of cocktails. I can’t wait to return!

The food here is delicious, and the owner is absolutely wonderful. The staff is friendly and makes you feel at home. This is definitely one of the best places to eat in McMinnville.

A great Creole restaurant in McMinnville. This has become one of the places where we stop through the area at any time. Open for lunch and dinner with friendly service and a good selection of whiskeys and beer. The fried chicken is up there with some of the best I had. Very recommended for anyone who loves a little Creole/Cajun.

A little too dark for me, but great food, service, place to be. Will keep coming back as much as possible. Had to give a 5 because a 4 just wasn't enough. Need hotter food for those who like it hot and some utensils for the crawdaddies.
