This review is for the fair specifically. The fair grounds are great. However, the fair board should really reconsider a few problem areas most of us locals with families have with this event. The rides are lacking, there was half as many as last year. The food is, for the most part, overpriced trash. I get they have to give you a 25% percent commission on top of the vendor fees. However, if you're charging top dollar, can we get some vendors who aren't just pumping out mediocre food for 15 to 20 a plate. Give some more local options to vend instead of whatever circuit of people follow the fair route. Parking was either crazy far out or right in front. That was weird for us. One car ended up in the back by the museum, the other right up front by the midway entrance. It was strange the amount of politics and religion that I ran into in a day as well. The 1 to 2 hour lines for the few larger rides were great in the 95 degree heat. The hefty fees for liquids were also fun. I get everyone is here to make money and expected to spend 300+dollars as always, but this year, we got way less than in years past in both experience and enjoyment. It's just something to consider when you're asking the public for money. Also, maybe a bit better vetting for vendors. Rat candy lady was unfortunate. I hope no one actually gets sick from that fiasco. I'm glad you shut her down after finding out. It was not all negative at all, though. It still is the county fair. My kids rode rides from open til 10 pm. They made memories and had a great time. They both may have a bit of heat stroke still, lol, but it was worth it in their words. I'm sure these issues have been raised before, and nothing will come of my meaningless rant, but I'm sure I'm not alone in my sentiment. I'm headed to the state fair at the end of the months so I can decide if we even come back next year as a group of 20.

Exceptional facility, the fairgrounds bleachers, face east, so you don't have Sun in your face in the later part of the day concessions are good. Everything is paved, it's super clean and easily accessible. I love the sprint car races in June.

We had a great time at the sprint car races. Parking can be difficult to find.

We go to watch my grandson race go karts and I love the fact that it's an indoor race because Oregon Winters can get crazy!

Small community fairgrounds that offer events very often and throughout the year. Great for kids, this rural fairground has everything from truck rallies and car shows to quilting and rock shows to county farm shows and FFA events and everything else in between seasonal events and craft fairs. Most events cost at the door less than $15/person.

I attend a lot of fair events, I have to say the parking at this fair is a bit confusing, along with the layout of the fair itself. The concerts were great this year, along with the beer selection! This fair and food is reasonably priced for what it has to offer, there were a lot of vendor booths and the staff was very helpful when I came into the fair. I look forward to coming back next year.

Came over for the races extremely satisfied great racing well put together better than madras speedway WELL WOTRH THE 4 HR DRIVE VERY WELL thought out will be back

Very informative local museum!! It had way more information and artifacts than I was expecting. Very pleasantly surprised. Cute gift shop attached; however, I was disappointed in the lack of local items to choose from. I would think a historical local museum would curate some great local artists for trinkets and souvenirs. Other than that it was excellent. The room with the wildfire exhibit/information was heartbreaking but incredible at the same time. I really enjoyed the indigenous information as well as the exhibit showing what animals were in the area thousands of years ago. Great experience overall and even has a Lincoln log play station downstairs for the littles.

Loved it. Really wonderful museum (and I've been to quite a few across the country). Has a HUGE collection of taxidermy animals considering the size of the place. Was there on a quiet day by myself so when the model train started up when I entered the room, it scared the crap out of me. :-o It's a nice touch but startling if you're not expecting it.

Open Sundays! (10a-5p) AWESOME experience!! We drove down from Eugene area and we are so glad we made the trip. So much to see and learn. My favorite part was the animal/taxidermy exhibit. You get to touch lots of stuff (tons of fun for the kids), even real animal pellets/hides.

This is an absolutely fantastic place to stop. We have been to a few museums recently and this is by far the best. There’s fun stuff to do for everyone. The artifacts and displays are all extremely interesting and meaningful. The entire place is well kept by people who clearly are passionate about preserving history. Truth be told I stopped in for the gift shop because I can’t pass up a trinket. We decided to get tickets on whim (which were extremely affordable at only $8) to just “pop in” and see the museum. It ended up being the highlight of our whole day! We could’ve spent two hours in there. So if you go, make sure that you make it before 2pm so you have plenty of time to see everything. I’ll definitely be coming back next time I pass through in the future :)

This was my first time here. I've lived most of my life in Oregon and it took me moving to Illinois for five years to finally stop and check it out. I've got to say for a smaller museum it was pretty great. I enjoyed the new exhibit on the Archie Creek Fire from 2020. The pictures were mind blowing. The rest of the museum has a lot of different things to look at. There is a downstairs, but no elevator to ride down. You either need to use the stairs, or it looks like you can walk outside and around the side of the building to get through a gate if you are mobility challenged, or maybe have kids in strollers. It's not overly expensive and has a little gift shop near the front door. If you are visiting Roseburg Oregon, I recommend stopping in and spending some time here.

Great museum detailing the cultural and natural History of Douglas county. From the giant prehistoric beavers to pioneer quilts to the wine industry, this museum has an exhibit for everything. I can't wait to return with older kids so I can actually read some of the things.

It is such a great little museum! 2 floors of exhibits and the detached train station is filled with timeless charm and exhibits with a running train. There are some interactive features for kids and an indoor and outdoor play area. Affordable, clean and well maintained.

The test of a good bagel is how good is it untoasted, and this passes with flying colors. This isn't your authentic crispy shell NYC style bagel, but like the best version of a supermarket bagel you ever had. Pillowy, soft slightly tender and chewey. The cinnamon crunch is like eating a churro bagel. Some might hate it but I love it.

My new favorite bagel place! The variety is so amazing and they’re so yummy. My favorite bagel place had closed down so i was excited when I found this place on a road trip down to visit family. Will be my new pit stop on my way down every time now! So good, so fresh. They were really busy too, so goes to show their popularity. I got the Chicken bacon ranch and a cinnamon crunch bagel. Savory and sweet bagels both hit so good.

We stopped in enroute from Umpqua Forest to the coast. My wife was starving and I had no interest in eating bagels. I used the restroom and upon coming out and smelling the various bagels, opted to try one. I asked what the most popular one was and it was the jalapeño cheddar. I ordered that and my wife got a cinnamon one. I’m not a big bagel fan but honestly until then, I’d never had a great bagel. Man. What have I been missing? Both of them were out of this world. 5/5 Service was friendly. 5/5 Bathroom was clean 4/5

There were so many options for delicious bakery items here, glad we stopped in. We had to get five different things and take them to go for later! Cookies, brownie & a cinnamon roll❣️

bagel not hardly toasted and very light cream cheese, they used to give a generous amount of cream cheese so not sure what happened. will not be coming back for awhile i guess:(

Great bagels and fantastic staff! Loved their omelette.

Very local, authentic bagel shop. Super busy in the morning for breakfast. The western omelet bagel is extremely delicious! They also have a bagel tree in the cafe! Just like it’s name… bubble tea is a new item in the menu.

Great food, great service. We spent $93 including tip and had a starter, 2 mains, a soda, and a desert. We left with enough leftovers for a two person lunch. I will say that the baklava while good was not my favorite part of dinner. You can definitely taste the fresh walnuts in it, and they use local honey, but it was hard to eat and needed more honey throughout. The traditional gyro was delicious. I could have maybe used a little more red onion imo, but there was soo much meat included. That was great. The salad was super fresh, and the dressing was very fresh also. The rice was delicious and not on the menu as a side but cost $8 for the big portion. The lamb burger was well dressed, although a cibatta bun is not my overall fave it went well. And the sample starter was my favorite. The dolmadakia was deliciously seasoned and brined, a lemon wedge would be a nice addition. The feta was fresh, the pickle components were very nice, and the pita was freshly toasted. I will say I've had better spanakopita, I felt like it was lacking herbs and cheese, but as a hot addition to the cold sampler, I enjoyed it. All in all, this was money well spent on a date night. I forgot to mention the attention of the waitress was spot on. Not too much, but just enough. And this place was not busy so the atmosphere was perfectly intimate. Parking is street parking, and that is only 2 hrs at a time until 5pm.

Great Greek food, with a wide variety of options. Can't go very wrong with their gryos, and the moussaka is quite fine too. Pasta was amazingly creamy and well spiced. The shrimp kebab had great flavor and seasoning. It does get a little loud as the kitchen is very close to the eating area and not walled off entirely.

Absolutely the place to stop if you love Greek food or you are seeking authentic Greek deliciousness 😋!!! The staff was professional, warm, welcoming... all of the staff worked harmoniously together serving everyone from the moment we entered to our departure. Easy walking distance from nearby hotels. Thank you.

Pretty good food, but no one can compare to Al's Mediterranean in my opinion 😉 The French fries were so tasty! Excellent service and clean space.

Great dinner - I'm gluten free and had the rice & chicken bowl (too lazy to look up the name) and got gf pita with it which was incredible. My +1 had the moussaka which was fantastic. Friendly service, tasty food, and atmosphere was fine. They were offering a BOGO that night which made the meal very reasonably priced. No idea how often this happens; we were just passing through.

I’ve always loved Alexander’s Greek Cuisine and was excited to stop in for their $10 gyro lunch special (and the “kids eat free” offer). The food was delicious, and one of the servers — a very kind woman — was absolutely wonderful. She was warm, attentive, and made our lunch feel special. What felt strange, though, was the service dynamic. The man who seated us said he’d be right back, but he never returned. Instead after a while of waiting, the woman came over and took care of us, and from what I could tell, we were the only table she was serving while the man handled all the others around us. He checked in warmly with every table except ours, grabbed our check and brought it back without much interaction. It left me feeling like maybe he didn’t want to serve us, which was disappointing — especially since I’ve always really liked this restaurant and came in excited to support it. Regardless of a lunch special, I’d expect not to be treated like we’re second tier. I still want to give credit where it’s due: the woman who stepped in truly turned things around and showed what great hospitality looks like. I hope management recognizes her kindness and also takes note of how those small differences in treatment can really affect a guest’s experience.

I find it surprising how many of my Douglas County friends have never been to Alexander’s Greek Restaurant in Roseburg at 643 SE Jackson Street. Personally, Alexander’s is in my top three Greek restaurants in the U.S. Not that I know a lot about Greek food, because I always order the same thing. It’s just that Alexander’s does an exceptional job preparing a Gyro and Greek salad (pictured) just the way I like it. Alexanders has all the traditional Greek dishes. But the one I always select is the Gyro platter combination. The Gyro (pronounced yee-ro) is ground beef mixed with lamb (traditional Gyro) cooked on a vertical rotisserie, then sliced and served wrapped in pita bread, along with tomato, onion and tzatziki. The platter includes an ice-cold delicious salad with Greek dressing. I usually add a Too Shy IPA. I satisfied my craving Friday at Alexanders and encourage others to do likewise. Trust me when I write having a Greek restaurant like Alexanders is a privilege not many small towns can boast.

I decided to pop into this farmers market since we were visiting family. They had a great selection! I would say about 50 vendors. We had delicious scones at one place and some amazing bread at another.

Had a great day at Market. Downtown venue is cool. As a vendor I appreciated the ease of application process. Jamie was exceptional in dealing with the inevitable challenges that come up when coordinating an event! I would encourage vendors to check into it!

Shop here often. There is a large selection of local gardeners and Craftsman. All fresh grown organic if wanted. Very busy market and is always full of booths at least 20 to 30 plus at all times. I recommend it highly lot of quality in Roseburg to see. I will come back here again, and again.

I was wowed by the selection of vendors here! Come early because many had sold out of any edible options by noon! Found a great apron, freeze dried candies, plant sticks, and CBD gummies. Everyone was so nice. Lots of parking. Would definitely recommend stopping here.

In A Nutshell: -The Umpqua Valley Farmer's Market is a nice collection of fresh veggies, fruits that are very unique to Oregon. -Marionberries were plentiful. -Loved the sunflower sprouts! -There is a tamale stand too & I highly recommend grabbing one of their Jalapeno Tamales. Overall, this is a perfect-sized farmers market!

Lovely people, fresh produce, seafood and bread. We got there at 9:10am, got 4 dungeness crab, fresh pasture raised eggs and freshly baked artisan sourdough bread. Will be back next Saturday for some rockfish and probably more bread! Good way to,support local farmers, fishermen and small businesses that otherwise struggle in these crazy time. Support local!!

There are some realy great vendors here. They have an amzing booth with a glass blower and painter couple. A must see booth. Also check out the mushroom booth, very good stuff. Another very cool booth is the copper artist, his frogs are adorable.

I want to like this park- it's such a beautiful area and the splash pad, big soccer fields, and play structure are great.... but unfortunately, there seems to be a pretty constant stream of unsavory people. The bathrooms often have garbage, drug paraphernalia, or someone living in them- my son walked in on a passed out, mostly naked man on the floor. We spend a fair amount of time here for soccer practice but it's not someplace we would come otherwise due to these factors.

Splash pad is a lot of fun, but needs more seating and more shaded areas for parents and caregivers.

Bikepath around 2 sides from cemetery to green bridge. Lots of soccer fields / that is the focus. Quite a few benches scattered on the perimeter. Community associated buildings near Harvard. A very comfortable place to relax in the shade next to the river.

Cute little place! Loved the splash pad. I wish there was more for little kids, like 2 ish. My son was mostly just running around.

It seems to be a delightful place for children to enjoy themselves.

Fir Grove is a great park for the people of Roseburg. There are some great events at the arts center and most kids in town remember playing soccer on these fields at some point in time. These pictures are some games that were there for the arts festival. It would be cool to have some inclusive games like these in Roseburg parks.

My dog and I like to walk around here sometimes, so we have fun mostly.

This place was okay. I’m gonna assume I came in on an off day because it was dead central in here. Our waiter was very nice though. The food was okay. It was one of those places where they have so many options, but lots of it is the same thing or there is a very slight difference. I went with a party of 5 and only one person liked what they got which was the fajitas, but everyone else was pretty neutral. The alcohol would be the only thing I go back for if I ever did.

Excellent food, salsa, chips, and service!!! I make sure to come here every time I am in Roseburg.

We walked past the place the night before and it looked interesting. We decided to come back and try it. We read the menu before coming and we're excited about the fresh food. The cerviche was excellent and the shrimp too. I wasn't as impressed with the mixed fajitas , beef and chicken, I would recommend sticking with the fresh seafood options . We will definitely come back .

We stopped off for dinner on the long drive down to Sacramento from Seattle, and ordered our typical judgement plate we use to check out a new Mexican Restaurant. Big Bad Nacho. These guys hit it out of the park! The presentation was amazing, unfortunately we forgot to take a picture before we ate it..... but it was one of the best. I wish we lived closer. Super nice owners and amazing food. Clean too!!

The place is lively. Great atmosphere. Select staff is really slow and the food is exotic but not authentic. I got some asada tacos and the meat was almost non existent (and seemed old and too chewy too). The rice and beans seem more like canned stuff than authentic beans boiled fresh from the pot and then refried. It’s a decent meal for anyone whose expectations for authentic are below true authentic.

This is our second year in a row coming to this gem in Roseburg, and it absolutely deserves every bit of praise. The taco salads are hands down the best we’ve ever had—we’ve tried both the shredded chicken and the shredded beef, and they are both incredible. The meat is flavorful and tender, and the seasoned rice in the taco salad is packed with flavor—not your typical filler rice. The chips and salsa? Next level. The salsa is dark and smoky thanks to roasted peppers and tomatoes, and it delivers a rich, bold flavor you don’t find just anywhere. Everything is consistently fresh and delicious, and the service has always been friendly and welcoming. If you’re in Roseburg and craving Mexican food, don’t miss this place. It’s become a must-stop for us every time we’re in town!

The sauce on the “Pollo a La Diabla” was ketchup based and terrible. The portion for nearly $20 was small and flavorless. Veggies in the fajita burrito were not cooked well. Servers were cold and could hardly get them to look you in the eye or smile. They weren’t busy at the time we went in but we still only got checked on once after getting our meal and it was mainly just to give us the check. Will not return.

Gluten Free on menu. Hostess totally spaced out and slow. Server nice but not interested in customers. Shrimp and grits were SO salty....ate the 3 pieces of Shrimp but couldn't eat the rest. I felt like my ankles were swelling as I ate it. So didn't eat it. Atmosphere was nice. Won't go back

Great food and service. The atmosphere is what you'd expect for the quality of food and prices. Salad, scallops, stuffed chicken, cake and Crème brûlée were all fantastic. I wish there were normal straws and not paper. Overall a great experience.

The food is consistently good, and the service is always well balanced. I usually get the Seared Blackened Ahi, The Mac and Cheese (add chicken breast and ask for a side of the bacon jam to go with it), the Shortrib, or Just a good burger. I've never had an issue with quality. If you can cook well, they offer the same quality of meal that you would cook up for a date night. Not to put too many places down, but in Roseburg, that is rare. The drinks they make are always good! I enjoyed the Ginger Mule and my date got the Paper Airplane. My only complaint about the place is that it is too loud to hear who is at your table when it is busy. They could look into some sound dampening to hang from the ceiling (they make flat, decorative ones that you don't really notice). I've been going for years and always enjoy it.

We have been coming here for years. Since they opened the best food and service and it's obvious because the employees have been there pretty much this entire time. It is our go-to place for a special celebration, and anytime we just love True.

Okay **THIS** is the place. 10 star service and food. I came here once for an anniversary dinner and again tonight for a birthday dinner. They are exquisite. For appetizers, I recommend the short rib empanadas and the Gouda Mac and cheese. The Gouda Mac and cheese is topped with a bacon jam that is to die for. I’m not exaggerating. For dinner, honestly anything is great. This place is only open for dinner hours. I ordered the halibut, and others ordered the scallops and burger. Our child had the Mac and cheese and fruit bowl. We loved everything. Cooked to perfection with so much flavor. For dessert, we had the espresso creme brûlée and chocolate cake. Don’t judge okay, it was a birthday dinner. For drinks, we ordered the cilantro pepper margarita and TRUE which were super tasty and refreshing. This is our special occasion spot and I must say, the service is spot on. You won’t be disappointed with a meal here.

Upscale dining experience with craft cocktails and specialty entrees. Perfect for a romantic dinner date or enjoy two screens in the bar area for sports viewing.

Wow!!! The food was incredible! We’ll definitely make a trip back to the area to dine here again. It is 5 stars in all respects. The food, presentation, and staff were all top notch! I would try anything on their menu.

Brix was perfectly fine. The food was acceptable but not something to write home about. It would be a great spot to enjoy a quiet drink and get burger, but I wouldn't necessarily choose it for a celebration or intentional date Night. We came on a saturday and the server was friendly, but she was working alone, so grace was needed.

Was a dark atmosphere. Chair at my table was wet. Some food from someone else stick to my fingers as I sat down. Let's just say wasn't all that clean. Had Gluten free bread so I told the server I needed to be Gluten free. Ordered the Bonjour Burger. Got the side salad. Salad was good. The gluten free bread looked amazing...I began to wonder if it was indeed gluten free. I take two hours to react fully...at which point I get very ill and sometimes go into shock. So I will definitely revise if that happens. Also, the burger was supposed to have bacon on it. No bacon on the Burger. All the bacon I have dealt with has been gluten free So not sure why they left it off. If a place has to alter an item to be gluten free they should tell you before hand what will be left off before you order, so you can change your mind if you don't like how it's being changed. The burger itself was very greasy but done nicely. The grilled onions were good too. Server was nice. But can't really get behind this place. Won't go back. Might be fine for others.

First time here and we're impressed with the food quality and service. The sandwich I ordered is really good which comes with avocado, fresh red onion and tomatoes. The salad as a side order is also delicious and too plenty for just a a side order and this menu is just $16. So you are hungry for American food in Roseburg, this place should be on the top list.

What a lovely restaurant! Server was amazing and food made to perfection! Definitely recommend to anyone I know!!!

We were on the last leg of drive home to Hillsboro from California on a Sunday when my partner spotted the Brix Grill online. We liked the menu so we jumped off the freeway. Our server, Lacey, was super-informative when answering our questions about downtown Roseburg. We’re restaurant-supportive people and we noticed, not unexpectedly, that the DT was quiet. We also noticed, however, a steady stream of travelers who found their way in. The restaurant’s marketing is clearly effective in selling the menu and the vibe. Lacey was terrific. We’ll definitely stop again on our way to or from Hillsboro.

What a great little spot in Roseburg. I grabbed breakfast here and was quickly impressed by the staff being so friendly. Food was good and the prices were very reasonable. The place itself is great! Fun and cozy at the same time. The decor is awesome and I was impressed with the fun Halloween decorations. That staff i think are what really make this a good spot. Fun friendly staff who are very attentive and all pro. Will be making this my new breakfast stop. Thank you brit! I'll be back!

Went to Brix last nite to try their new smoked salmon dish. Was told that my fella and I were getting the last two pieces of salmon they had. It arrived smothered in an overpowering red sauce that made it impossible to taste any fish at all. It was accompanied by a cake-shaped rice item that was fried on each side. It was so overcooked that its consistency and texture resembled wall paper paste; it was impossible to spot a single grain of rice. On the plate was some scattered arugula and a few snap peas. I had one bite of fish, one of rice, and one pea. The pea was good. My fella tasted one bite of the fish, winced, and we agreed to send the dishes back. Our server asked if she could bring us something else and left, ostensibly to bring menus. Instead, she returned with our ticket which reflected the cost of my one Margarita and his diet cola. She had spoken with the manager, Tatiana, who told the server that we always returned our food, a blatant lie. Obviously, we were being asked to leave. I have been a patron of this restaurant for 26 years, through its many owners and ideations. I live and work in downtown Roseburg. In all these years, I've only returned food three times. First time was when I was served a God-awful appetizer consisting of five shrimp which were covered in three different types of sauces. I ate one shrimp and almost gagged. Tatiana at first declined to take this item off the bill, then begrudgingly said she'd take 50% off the appetizer. I told her I was not paying for something that I simply could not eat, and she finally removed it from the bill, after some seriously nasty attitude. Second time was a bowl of three bean soup, also the last of the soup that day. I could not identify what kind of seasoning they used in it, but it was awful. I choked down a half cup or so and put the bowl aside. I told the server of my disappointment in having to go home hungry, but still ordered a to-go cobb salad with salmon to take home to my guy. The soup was removed from the ticket. Last night was the third time I returned a dish. Last night was also my last rodeo with this restaurant, mainly because of the manager who behaves like a pit bull when any dissatisfaction is expressed. The service is at times subpar, but even still, I generally tip 30% - 50%, often more, as the servers can testify. At the business where I work, at least once a week a customer will ask for a recommendation of where to eat lunch downtown, and we invariably recommend Brix. No more recommendations, and I will gladly explain why. 10/18/25 Update: Wow, apparently I've been blocked from Brix Grill & Chill site. What a way to treat your customers. Sayanara, Brix, hope you manage to stay in business with this kind of attitude. Roseburg is a small town and memories are long...our shop has been in business for 57 years on Jackson Street, and it isn't because we've treated our customers like disposable annoyances. Good luck.

El Dorado Mexican Restaurant in Roseburg is a gem! The food was excellent, served fresh and flavorful. The building has a unique layout, but it’s spotless and very inviting. What really stood out was the staff — incredibly friendly, helpful, and genuinely happy, which made the whole experience even better. I’m already looking forward to going back to try more from their menu. Highly recommended!

Hidden gem in the heart of Roseburg. Amazing food, great service, very clean, warm atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

Love the outdoor seating where there are few places we can bring our pups while we're out exploring. The food is great and love the staff. We always get the fish tacos and Pina Camerones. The remodel looks great!

El Dorado is by far the best Mexican restaurant in town. The food is consistently excellent—fresh, flavorful, and authentic. Every dish feels carefully prepared, and the quality never disappoints. The service is just as impressive; the staff is friendly, attentive, and makes you feel truly welcomed. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick lunch or a nice dinner out, El Dorado delivers every time. Highly recommended!

Small restaurant but big flavors! One of the best in town.

Best Mexican food in town.

Meh. I was in Roseburg on business and this restaurant was recommended by a local. The two people working front of house seemed bothered when I asked to place a to-go order. The female server was too busy folding napkins but when she finally looked up, she seemed confused. I asked her about a menu item but she didn't speak much English and didn't understand my question. I went with what I thought would be a safe bet: enchilada. I was super disappointed and ended up only eating about a third of my meal. Oh well, maybe I'm just picky when it comes to Mexican cuisine.
