Food Trucks - The Hidden Gems

Don't overlook the little guys! Some of the best food in town comes from the most unexpected places. Track down local food trucks, pop-ups, and hidden gems for delicious bites you might otherwise miss.

Grab a Pint on the Patio

Because everything tastes better outside. When the weather is warm, grab a seat on the patio, order a cold pint, and settle in for some sunshine and people-watching. Come winter, many local spots fire up the outdoor fire pits so you can cozy up under the Southern Oregon sky. Add in a little live music at some of the local favorites, and you've got the perfect excuse to grab a pint, stay awhile, and enjoy the local vibe.

Save Room for Something Sweet

Many local restaurants and bakeries make their desserts and treats from scratch, with fresh-baked goodies that can disappear fast. Find a favorite, grab it while you can, and get there before it sells out!
