Where to Eat in the Willamette Valley
The Horseradish
Carlton
Crave-worthy sandwiches and comfort food is what they’re known for! My favorite sandwiches in the valley. The menu is hearty and satisfying, and the vibe is casual with indoor and outdoor seating. A great lunch stop when you’re tasting in the Carlton area.
