Three and a half stars. You Oregonians are spoiled rotten with the fabulous maple-wood smoked bacon and other pork products that are available here. To compare Shari's to Denny's is a huge disservice. Granted, Shari's is a coffee shop, but it uses local ingredients, and the pancakes are better than IHOP. Service was friendly and prompt. We would definitely come here again if we were in the area. Also, it is easy access from I-5. Wish we had Shari's near our home in CA.
Review Source:Been doing monthly company meetings here for several years. We come, we keep reasonably quiet, we order food and drinks sometimes more food. Every other time we've had nice pleasant waiters and waitresses they ask how our meeting went or offer drink refills and pies. Except tonight, We get there and order food and drinks and one of the staff orders additional food. Almost every 10 minutes this new to us waitress "Carly" would come by and in a rude and snarky attitude would ask us if we were ordering more food. We were virtually the only people in the restaurant for the duration of our meeting but this seemed to make her annoyed to have to do anything at all. After our meeting was over we went to pay and in doing so the waitress asked uninterestedly asked how the meeting went. "Just mentally tired" Said our supervisor, Â Carly replied "You can only have a meeting for an hour and everyone has to order food." As the bill was being paid the supervisor said "We had ordered food"(Obviously since there was a bill) though she told us we hadn't ordered Enough food! And not to come back unless we ordered more next time. And when she was told we would take our business elsewhere if they didn't want it, she replied "Yeah I guess you can".
So I guess there's a new unwritten rule of Shari's that you can't go there in groups and order the whole table food and pay for it with one check.
I love coming to this Shari's. It is by far my favorite Shari's in Oregon. I usually come in late at night with a large group of friends. They are almost always very accommodating and friendly, even if we show up unannounced with 12+ people. The server we get almost every time, Heath, is AMAZING. Super friendly, and laid back, and just... awesome. I really keep coming to this Shari's for the service I get from Heath, because really, all Shari's food is about the same from restaurant to restaurant.
Review Source:Only been to a Sharis once. Half our group had never been to one.
This was a pleasant surprise. Went for a saturday lunch. Not busy at all. Service was GREAT. Food was great. Had grilled cheese and a salad. 8 people in our party and everyone finished their plates with not one complaint! Even had pie which was sooo good!
I went to Shari's with hash-browns and eggs in mind and was expecting something like Denny's-style food. Â They had a pretty decent menu with things that you would expect to see (steak and eggs) and things that were unexpected (potsticker Asian salad). Â I ended up being sold on a burger that had bleu cheese, grilled onions and bacon. Â
The burger came with lettuce and tomatoes and a kaiser bun, and a side of fries. Â The fries were fresh, hot, and lightly seasoned, and the burger... was delicious! Â I had my choice of how it was cooked, so I got it a little pink. Â It was so juicy and satisfying! Â The bun was fresh, the lettuce was a large leaf of romaine, and the tomato slices were fresh as well.
The people working there were all very friendly and the food came pretty quickly. Â My sister's boyfriend got the seafood platter and I tried a shrimp: awesome. Â Tasty, moist and crispy.
The only thing I didn't about this restaurant was the decor/atmosphere. Â It was very old looking in my opinion. Â Also, looking out of the windows, I could see spiders in their webs, stretched across the greenery. Â I just hate spiders, so I'm a little sensitive.
I would definitely go there again... maybe next time I'll have the stuffed hash-browns, stuffed with sour cream and topped with cheddar cheese, scallions and bacon bits! Â Yum!!
Ok, this is Shari's, so the food at any of these is meh. It's ok, but there are definitely better diners.
For all of you from the midwest, think of Shari's as a crappy Perkins.
Anyway, as for the reason for the one star. I've gotten REALLY bad service here, and I mean REALLY bad.
I came here with a couple friends late at night. Despite there being 5 other people eating here, our waiter didn't check on our drinks for over half an hour. Our food was even slower coming out. That's not all though!
We were playing cards. Not with a Bicycle deck or anything, it was some sort of store-bought card game. Anyway, the owner/manager or whoever comes up and tells us we can't play cards in there. We ask him why, and he doesn't give us a real reason. The jerk wouldn't even let us play cards to pass the time while his restaurant's terrible service was keeping us waiting way too long for our subpar food.
Needless to say, we didn't tip the waiter a penny. When we got our bill, it said his name was "Raymo". WTF kind of name is RAYMO?
If you aren't familiar with this chain, it is the same style as Denny's but with a little bit better food.
If you're going to eat at a Shari's than this is the one to visit. I've eaten here a few dozen times over the past eight years and a few times at other Shari's locations and I prefer this one. The food is high quality for this type of food. Several employees have been working here since I've been coming here so I think that helps the place be consistent.
The interior of the restaurant is very relaxing and you don't feel like you're on a busy intersection. Most of the booths face East away from
the road so it's nice and quiet.
