Lamplighter Cafe and Lounge

"Oakland, Oregon has changed over the years with some emphasis on restoring its historical heritage. The Old Town area has an appeal to it that speaks of times past & a look to the future. One business I visited was the Lamplighter Cafe & Lounge, which Had an interior that was both rustic & elegant with a bar fully stocked from the top shelf down, seemingly with every liquor needed to excite the imagination & to enjoy your favorite cocktail. I ordered chicken strips ,fries & coleslaw with a beer to wash it down. The meal was fantastic, with the coleslaw being the kicker for me. Most restaurants make tasteles slaw that I often request a fix or return it. The Lamplighter had some of the best slaw that I haven't had to make myself, so that ensured a 5☆ review. If you, your family, or friends are in the vicinity of Oakland, Oregon, you must visit the Lamplighter Cafe & Lounge. It features great adult beverages & some really good food. *In addition to the lounge, there is seating in the front of the establishment for those under 21 or those not wishing to utilize the lounge area. For patrons wanting to test their luck, various video poker machines are in-house & this being my first time at the Lamplighter, I'm sure there are other features I haven't mentioned. The atmosphere is pleasant with friendly staff & I will make it a point to visit there again"

"This restaurant is in a beautiful, old, restored building with a ton of charm. The town is a couple miles from I-5 and was a very welcome site after hours of dodging raindrops on the freeway. The crispy chicken sandwich and fries were delicious and the service was excellent!!! For me it was a quick stop so I could get back on the road but the restaurant and town deserve a revisit when I have more time to enjoy them!"

"Hello. The owner informed me they are open again. I will return next week to update this restaurant. The owners, Jami and Ron Gettemy did this right.The kitchen was remodeled with two bathrooms added. The menu is eclectic and tasty. The poppers, yes, the poppers are superb with a toss of pork rinds on top for a nice crunch. Request the bacon jam -- a homemade concoction that serves as a side. Fish tacos (cod or ahi) not to be missed. The white cheddar burger and side of sweet potato fries was excellent with crisp bacon. The photos scream yummist on all we ordered. The front is a small restaurant-- the back a hidden bar. I suggest you walk the town and view the buildings architectural features and be sure to turn the corners."

"This food is amazing!! I have lived in Oakland for my whole life and this is the best restaurant we have had in forever! Me and my mom love to eat here on special occasions, plus the staff are always so nice!"
