Noble Wave | Louisiana Kitchen

I had what they call The Ladder, chicken tenders on French toast with an egg and maple syrup on the side. We also had the andouille sausage biscuit plate. The service was good and the environment was funky in a good way. However, somehow, the food was just okay. There was nothing extraordinary about the flavor. I was really looking for a Southern style addicting taste, but I was disappointed. Noble Wave, gimme a reason to go back! I wanna support good and local biz!

Such a cool place. Vibey and the food is outstanding! Split the hot chicken sandwich and fancy fries. The chicken was moist and delicious. The fries have fried shallots and parmesan and were to die for. Number one chicken sando for miles!

A cute spot with a New Orleans vibe. The gumbo and shrimp po’ boy were delicious, and I’d love to come back to try more dishes.

I don’t if I could describe how good the food was here. The king bread pudding cake was amazing it doesn’t look appealing but tastes amazing almost like a Cinnamon Toast Crunch cake. I had the avocado toast with added bacon that’s was very filling and probably a must add bacon the protein helped. Get the garlic mayo sauce.

The atmosphere was amazing! The interior design was so peaceful! The waitress was so nice and handled all her table’s amazing! The food was amazing and was kinda quick! The one thing that could be better was a little so much sauce on our burger but that didn’t stop the food from tasting amazing! I would recommend going! The price was goof for me and what I was looking to pay! I would also say they have very interesting food options for sure got me by surprise! Over all was amazing

The catfish sandwich is amazing! I spoke to the waiter (who I believe was also a partial owner) and he explained how the catfish is flown in from Louisiana and hand breaded in-house. The breading is delicate and flavorful and does not overpower the fish. They have a wide assortment of beers that they switch out frequently, so if you find a flavor you like, you better drink it while you can. We got a couple of deserts which were delicious. The beignets are made to order so they are hot and fluffy and absolutely delicious! The atmosphere is a bit Portland hipster with some great seating nooks for pictures. I would recommend this place to anyone who likes Louisiana style food, however, it can be a bit spicy for those with a sensitive pallet. The price of a main dish isn't expensive for the large portions you get and the price of drinks are competitive. However, the appetizers are a bit pricey for the portion size.

This restaurant was suggested to my husband and we stop there for Sunday brunch. The inside seating was full but we preferred outdoor. It was a nice day out. I ordered the shrimp and grits and my husband tried the ladder which was French toast layered with fried chicken tenders. Food was great, really good portion size for the ladder. I think the shrimp & grits portion was a bit lacking. We also tried the bin-yays (Beignets) and some mimosa. Really good flavor. We will definitely be back to try other items in the menu.

Daniel provided great service. The food was outstanding... one of the best fried chicken sandwiches I've ever had! Most importantly, the beer was ice cold! The great outdoor seating provided a great opportunity to sit and bask in the sunshine, and people watch!

Though it has been awhile since I visited this establishment, I want to get my initial thoughts about it posted. They have done a great job creating a cozy atmosphere, gave an excellent menu and friendly staff. The service has always been excellent and my meals have been very good. My favorite is the étouffée and the gator is good too. The only downside is parking as they are downtown. If you haven't tried them yet give them a whirl.

So the place seems slow for a weekday maybe its the time we came in but theres one waitress and one cook. The waitress was very kind and timely with taking care of us. Lets start with the drinks OMG so good, here I was saying i wished they were bigger BUT they hit! And i mean Hit good. Taste amazing too! The food was delicious but not to die for. The poutine I would rate a 5/10 and the burger is a 7/10. I would definitely get the burger again but not the poutine. The fries were really crispy and thin. And the gumbo sauce in the poutine sneaks up on you with the spice it was a nice touch but overall felt skimpy with the sausages and cheese curds i had 5 of each on the plate. Burger was really good all I would say definitely get the double. For the size you might end up wanting more!

Love the eclectic atmosphere and style -- fit right into the downtown vibe with an artsy, funky flair. There was a Cajun theme underlying it all, but it still felt very Oregonian. Service was very friendly and prompt. The menu was ambitious in its soulfulness but did not deliver on its promise. The shrimp and grits were bland and served as a relatively small portion. My husband ordered a variation on chicken and waffles that was topped by an egg and some kind of bacon. The decadent tower of hearty layers was under seasoned and dry. Would not rush back for the food,, but enjoyed the experience overall. Plus it was a good time bonding with my cousin enjoying mimosas (which were a great bargain) over brunch!

The Noble Wave, is supposed to be a Cajun restaurant, parking was hard to find in this part of downtown Salem. There was five of us, we got a table right away because there wasn't many people there, maybe ten, the place is big inside, plus, there is seating outside on sidewalk picnic tables, not many people there for a early Saturday night, it was almost 6:00pm, but we thought we'd give it a try. The, "Hot Bird" chicken sandwich, was very good, and had a generous piece of delicious chicken on it! Another one of us had, the shrimp and grits, she said it was okay. The Louisiana poutine was not a winner, much of it was left on the plate, I ordered fried cheese curds, it was dripping with cooking oil, the oil tasted a bit old. I couldn't eat it, no one could! Service was fine, he was very nice. Your best bet is to stay with the, "Hot Bird" chicken sandwich, it's good, I would recommend ordering that. I wish them well, but, I doubt we will return.

I really want it to be great, but it just seems like a slow vibe/attitude with ok service. Be prepared for salty food, but always fresh and warm.

this food was good, no cap. Overall, I felt the gumbo needed a little bit more spice. It was a little bland but still enjoyed. took about 35 minutes to get our food, to be fair, it is memorial day weekend and it was overall decent. I bought the gumbo and my boyfriend got the chicken sandwich! flight of drinks was delicious. cute place to be

Saw a lot of reviews about this place online! I was very excited to come try this spot. Overall the inside was nicely decorated and the service was great! The food was pretty good, definitely more of a lunch spot than a brunch spot. The drinks were extremely good! I had a gimlet for the first time and it changed my life it was so good. We ordered the chicken sandwich and gumbo. The portions were HUGE. We tried gumbo for the first time and weren't fans. It was a little too spicy to eat a lot of and very heavily seasoned. It was good for the most part but would not be able to eat a full meal of it because of how overpowering it was. Overall glad we stopped by during our travels to try some new things at Noble Wave!

I came in as I was enticed by the gator. However, gator was off the menu as apparently their distributor runs out periodically. Staff was lacking and not particularly friendly, aside from the tall man in the LSU hat (I think the owner ?). I ordered spicy fried pickles to start , shrimp and grits and the beignet chicken sliders with fries. We asked for no slaw on the sliders and when they were getting brought out, guess what was on them? Slaw. They took them back and brought the fries back out and the fries were already lukewarm. The fried pickles were AWFUL, if by spicy you mean salt, then yes, they're spicy. The saltiness of the food here is astonishing . The chicken sliders batter was also too heavily salted. My kid only ate them cuz she felt bad that I paid for them. The shrimp and grits were pretty good. And at no point for staff come by to refill our water to flush down their salty food. Would never go here again.

We visited on a weekend morning shortly after opening. We were promptly sat alongside another party or two. It wasn't busy at that time. It was awkwardly quiet in the restaurant which one wouldn't expect in a Louisiana inspired restaurant. (If you know, you know.) The atmosphere is nice but only gently nods at the true culture the food is representing. The server was incredibly nice yet unfocused which resulted in one of our orders being completely wrong. However, they made it right without question. It was unfortunate that it was a kid's meal as they never understand why they're the only one at the table without food in remake situations. The authenticity of the flavor is close but not what you'd expect if you're wanting true Cajun fare. It is however, arguably the closest you'll get in the Salem area at a restaurant. There are definitely some staple cajun dishes and atmospheric nods missing but overall, it's a nice spot that definitely has the potential to bring New Orleans (or Louisiana in general) to the area with a little more focus on the origins of their theme / cuisine. I would love to hear Zydeco, Jazz, or authentic music in the restaurant upon our next visit. As someone with a Louisiana area code, I was expecting more authentic fare. Overall, it's absolutely worth a visit. I'd encourage the ownership to consider the economy. I'd rather pay less for a lessor portion than a lot for more than I can eat in two sittings thus goes to waste. Perhaps consider this and the comments before mine that more can be done to bring the level of authenticity up. The benefit being those of us who are famished for authentic Cajun food would drive from all around regularly for it.

If there is a magical world where fried food is healthy, I would eat at Noble Wave 7 days a week. I could never get enough of the Po Boys on fluffy rolls with perfect french fries and choice of 9 different house-made sauces. And, yes, in my magical world, "BIN-YAYS (BEIGNETS)" (also fried) are obviously healthy too so I'm getting 2 baskets of those heavenly-powdered-sugared-bites EVERY day. The vibe is southern pub with comfy booths in a spacious room with a bounty of eclectic artwork. The service is no nonsense and efficient.

Three-times eating here and we keep loving Noble Wave more and more! We recently ate at their anniversary crawfish boil and had a wonderful time - definitely worth the wait for the great food, drinks, and ambiance! This place has a lot of heart, and it's evident the staff really care about the restaurant, the food, and the service. This time around we ordered gumbo and 5 pounds of crawfish plus sides (crawfish is not a regular menu item, so sorry for the tease if that's what you're looking for!) and it was delectable. The spice was ON and I certainly appreciated that! We ate at the bar, and our bartenders were fantastic at making sure our drinks were made asap. We love that Noble Wave gets us our fix of Cajun food when we're craving it. Although many dishes are made with chicken and/or beef (andouille and gator are options here, too!), this is a great restaurant to bring folks who are vegetarians and pescatarians. From the yummy food to the drinks that replicate the ones sold in the French quarter (e.g., Hurricane and strawberry daiquiri) there's something here for everyone, whether it's your first time trying Cajun food, or you're craving an old favorite.

Food was great! Got the chicken and waffles- had a nice balanced flavored, not bland and not overwhelming, consistency's were great. Would recommend!! Service however was pretty minimal, long wait times to order and get our boxes and check. waitress was dismissive, and there was no consistency with our service.

With the mixed reviews I was surprised how much I enjoyed the food! The oysters on special were OUTSTANDING. My friend really loved the poutine which had a wonderful flavorful gravy and the cheese pull on the melted curds *chefs kiss*! Enjoyed the shrimp po boy as well the Deimos was cooked well and was everything you want in a sandwich. The bread seemed fresh possibly local? The fancy fries added a nice touch too and seemed to have a couple pieces of fried calamari. I just wish it were maybe bigger and fewer pieces would've been okay. They were a bit small and over fried past flavor recognition. As others said the ordering system ordering at the counter and being seated isn't my favorite. But the food really didn't take too long and there was a waiter who checked on us a couple times. If I were in town again, I'd eat here for sure!

Amazing flavor that packs the slightest but most perfect kick at the end! Service was amazing friendly and attentive! The music wasn't my vibe but most definitely fitting for the ambiance, the place is a vibe of its own! Only thing i was hoping for was maybe some veggies or okra in my gumbo for a textural contrast but wasnt needed as the flavor was so rich! Compliments to the chef and the service staff!! Will be back with friends!

Best gumbo we've ever tasted! Very spicy but delicious and authentic. Catfish poboy also excellent! Clean and friendly staff who take pride in their work. The chef took time to speak with us. We would return next time we're in town.

Well, it's not something I like to say but this visit yesterday caused us to feel we probably won't go back. It doesn't help that we are from Louisiana and know what a catfish poboy is supposed to be. My husband's poboy was basically a batter sandwich. The fish was so thinly slice that you couldn't see much less taste the cat fish. Pitifully. I had the hot chicken. It was ok. Service was extremely slow and to took about an hour to receive our order. I know the owner is from Louisiana but feeds most who are not and don't know. Sorry guys. This was a bust.

Well, let's just start this review by saying: don't eat here unless you're hungry. My wife and I split two meals. We ordered the gumbo (chicken, shrimp, and sausage), and a Hot Bird sandwich. They served the gumbo in two cups, at our request, and cut the sandwich in half for us. The gumbo was deliciously spicy. We ate every bite and loved it. The sandwich was huge (see my picture) and very tasty. I barely finished my half, and my wife was not able to finish hers. Food was delicious. The staff were attentive and friendly. Prices were decent. We'll come back again, but next time we won't eat breakfast that morning so we have room in our stomachs for our entire meal. If I could change anything, I'd make it so you pay and tip after your meal instead of paying and tipping beforehand. I really don't like to tip before I eat.

I ordered the andouille sausage po boy and it was amazing. Sauces are delish. Boyfriend ordered the burger, he enjoyed it. Said it was a good burger but not the absolute best..he is picky about his burgers lol. Atmosphere is cute, I loved my dish. Boyfriend also loved my dish enough that he kept sneaking bites. As for drinks, I got the heartland cider- amazing. Not too sweet, just perfect. Boyfriend got the ratchet blonde ale which was also just as good

Everything my wife and I have ordered from here is simply the best. Service isn't always speedy, but the food is always well worth it. The Classic Bird is the best chicken sandwich I could imagine (especially with a side of the Hot Bird sauce), the Louisiana Poutine is addictively delicious, and the gumbo is dangerously good. Drinks are also good. Their Sunday brunch isn't as good as their weekday food (imho), but the biscuits are huge and amazing! If you have to wait longer than desired, just relax on the somewhat uncomfortable chairs and wait for some of the best food in Salem. It will be worth it.

Drink: Dirty South Food: Shrimp Po'boy & fancy frys Pros: love the music!! This caught my attention immediately. The drink presentation was dope but the drink was ok! It was pretty tart but I liken it to the lemon wedge in the drink. The fry's were really good. Cons: parking can be a hoot! The po' boy was okay. The breading on the shrimp came off which was frustrating.

Amazing beignets and chicken! The bread pudding waffle is to die for! Great seating and service as well.

Long wait time. Food looks good but the fries were a salt lick and the sandwich I had was pretty dry and could have used some other ingredients in order to help it pop. I got the Cajun sausage sandwiche and the biscuits was good but the egg did not pop so it was very dry sandwich and could have used something to moisten it up. Also the sauce was a bit much for the salty fries. My wife coulsnt finish hwr fries. The crew did come and check up on us which was good and wish it tasted better than it looked.

Will travel for food. Overheard a conversation at dinner about Beignet Sliders and had to get up and inquire. I halfway scared the table, but I got the inside scoop: Noble Wave in Salem. Fast forward to the next day, and we're on the road. Noble Wave is located in charming downtown Salem. The restaurant is spacious, includes outdoor seating and order-at-the-counter service. On Sundays, they only serve brunch (and close at 9pm!!!) We grabbed a booth and ordered a couple of plates, included the Beignet Sliders. The sliders were GREAT. 3 decent sized beignet sliders piled high with slaw and a delicious chicken tender. I'm not normally a traditional slaw person, but this slaw was great: not too heavy on the dairy. The chicken tender was absolutely delicious. Some of the best chicken I've had in Oregon. My roadtrippin' brunch partner got the shrimp and grits (in-house only) and I got the Hot Bird. I've never been a grits fan, but I am now. The grits didn't taste cheesy, but the entire dish was outstanding. I liked the addition of andouille sausage. The roux was on point!!! I was a bit skeptical about the Hot Bird. I feel like Crystals Hot Sauce is used incorrectly outside of the South. I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't realize the Hot Bird was the best chicken sandwich in Salem, but I totally get it. The sandwich was HUGE and juicy, with that kick that only Crystals can deliver. The fries weren't hot, but they were still really good. (If a fry is good cold, it's a good fry.) I know I'll get random cravings for this chicken sandwich in the very near future. There is a King Cake Bread Pudding on the menu and I could not say no. When they brought it out, it was a hunking huge slide of ooey gooey sweetness. Probably the best bread pudding I've ever had. Sooooooo good. Order it; they do not skimp on portion. The drinks aren't too shabby, either. I got the frozen slushy flight. Hurricane, Passionfruit (?), and Coconut Melon. Surprisingly, the coconut melon was my favorite. None of the slushies were overly sweet (my worry when it comes to fun cocktails). Overall, Noble Wave is definitely in my Top 5 of favorite restaurants. If only there was a Portland location...

Amazing staff that explains food details. The ambiance is cheeky with some cool cubby like bench seating. Kiera is super friendly and works hard to make your order pleasant. She understands the food concept and helps make recommendations as well. The food arrive nice and hot. The kale salad was wonderful with the fresh dose of Parmesan cheese and lightly coated dressing

Waited 85 minutes total for my order. Only ordered a salad and pickles. Was not checked on or given any updates while I waited.

Glad to have found this place. We ordered oysters, a catfish poboy, kale salad, beignets, and special cocktails. Everything was great! I had to come back and order 2 more orders of beignets to go. Trust me, they are addicting. My only suggestion would be to work on the interior decorating and have a theme. We saw a few Mardi Gras beads and feather boas, however, a mural, painting, string lights, just a little something to give a more Mardi Gras feel would be awesome. Otherwise, the service, the food, and everything else was great! We will definitely return to try more things on the menu!

Best chicken sandwhich I've ever had. Amazing. Got the food in like 5 minutes!! Looks like a mung bean vegan situation, but far the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. ORDER THE HOT BIRD!

Y'all!!! The shrimp and grits are to die for! We shared that and two spicy Bloody Marys and it was plenty! The waitress told us about a guy who ate three helpings one day!!! Totally worth it! We sat outside and enjoyed the sunshine.

This place was outstanding. Super-convenient location right in the heart of town. The beers: well-curated list with a variety of styles, and representing a variety of breweries. Somebody put a lot of thought into the making of this list. The food: delicious. Both the carnivores and the vegetarian in our group enjoyed their meals. The service: prompt, attentive, and friendly. A+ staff all around. Would definitely go back, no question about it.

We came for brunch, I'd like to come back sometime for dinner. When you come in, you order at the register and then they tell you where to sit, kind of an awkward setup and staff is not super friendly, you don't know who your server is and they don't necessarily come back to check on you. That being said, the food was very good, but they advertise a Cajun brunch, the only entree that looked Cajun to me was the shrimp and grits. We had chicken and waffles and then I got the ladder which is kind of like chicken and waffles except with French toast. The chicken was super yummy and the eggs cooked well plus some interesting flavors like fried sage. The cocktail was really tasty too. They also have beignets which was a nice touch.

A downtown gem with a nice vibe. Menu wasn't extensive which was nice so my choice to try the Classic bird turned out to be the perfect choice. A solid burger popping with flavor. Only made it through half my meal, but it heated up great the next day. Service was great! Easily found parking on the street nearby.

We went on a Sunday with my friends and kids, so we actually got to try their brunch items as well. My friend ordered the sweet waffles and the boys and I ordered the hot bird and chicken biscuit. I got the hot bird because that is what they are known for and my friends also stated that it was the must have. I tried a bite of the sweet waffles and they were great. With my hot bird I was okay, but not worth the hype. However, the thing to try is the Chicken biscuit. I tried some of my son's and it was way better than the hot bird. By the way they make legit biscuits and huge ones at that. Also their fries are also very good and you do get quite a bit with your order. The only negative things I can say is that there is a wait for food, we waited for about 30-40 minutes for our food to arrive and the prices are a bit on the higher side, so a family outing my hit the pocketbook a little hard, so be warned! Other than that, we enjoyed the food very much and do look forward to coming again!

We were in downtown Salem so we stopped to shop at some of the local businesses. We just happened to park in front of the Nobel Wave restaurant. After we were done shopping we chose to eat there. Oh I'm so glad we did. Service and food was excellent. Wife had the hot bird (chicken breast) sandwich and I had the shrimp poboy. Both came with fries. The hot bird wasn't too hot, but perfect spiciness. It was BIG. Poboy was delicious too as the bread made it so good. Even the fries were cooked perfectly. The fry dipping sauce is called doink sauce. Good fry sauce. Having lived in New Orleans as a child it brought back great memories of the great food the city has to offer. Very authentic down to the hot sauce. Hot sauce is a go to for any poyboy. When asked, the server brought me a big ole bottle of Crystal hot sauce. The true hot sauce of Louisiana. We were stuffed, but couldn't resist an order beignets. We got an order to go however when they arrived, we opened the to go box to try one each. Well... we ate all of them. Powder sugar puff delights. The order was substantial in quantity. We are for sure going to try this place for Sunday brunch in the future. Highly recommend.

It starts by walking up to a counter, ordering food, paying the bill (Sounds like fast food) and leaving a tip while the cashier points you to a table. I paid the $45.00 and pre-paid the tip. Next; you wait, wait, wait, wait. No kidding, no exaggeration, 45 minutes of waiting for pre-paid food already tipped! (In retrospect - I would have asked for a refund or informed them I was not going to wait more than 20 minutes). No one came to our table to refill beverages. Other tables were also waiting, waiting, waiting for 45 minutes. Their food: the table next to us ate a small portion of their food; maybe because they were late for an appointment - or because the food was not delicious. We surmised; it was both. Our food; 100% missed the mark! Service: 100% missed the mark! Setting: Noisy; but we knew that going in - figured it was just a great place to mingle - dine - hang out. The Jambalaya was in my opinion not edible. It was sour & bitter; The broth left an aftertaste that was somewhat nauseating. The (Bacon) Chicken Cheese Curd Sandwich - No bacon - lots of cheese curds, Deep Fried Chicken, on a "tiny bun" served with cold French fries - house sauce - no ketchup - (they served and ran - and did not return). We were full of anticipation of eating here - By the look of the crowd - I suspect many of the patrons who were dining were also expecting something else. Sometimes restaurants have an off day or a new chef. Also, the shortage of help is a problem. Many patrons understand - however hosts will often accommodate guests with a complimentary item, or visit the table with updates, and offer an apology - not at Noble Wave! In Downtown Salem, there are many choices for decent food, good prices, and great service. Maybe Noble Wave will use these comments to improve the experience for other patrons - it's a tough business, but you have to treat your patrons better!

5 stars for the staff 4.5 stars for the flavor 4 stars for the pricing and size of the dishes Can't wait to try more of the dishes here! Adding an egg was a great addition but I should have asked the cost as it was $4. Not a crazy price but a little shocking as adding extra shrimp was a similar price. Everything on the menu looks amazing so I can't wait to be back for more dine in!

THE LADDER is an incredible brunch dish! A tower of French toast and fried chicken tenders topped with an unctuous fried egg . Doused with maple syrup, I enjoyed every bite of it. When in Salem, you gotta stop by Noble Wave and order it!

The food is mediocre pub fair. The ambiance is bar like and you'll likely find people smoking at the outside tables. It's not a standard for me and I've only been a couple of times. On the upside, they are often open when other restaurants have been closed.

A group of 3- we ordered poutine, burger with fries and hot bird Caesar salad.... Poutine was okay not much flavor, friend said the burger was excellent but didn't finish it, Caesar was okay not enough dressing, lettuce was not romaine although chicken was very tender and good. For the Love of Food

Loved the look of this place. It was a bit expensive, but I liked that they had three beer size choices - 5, 10, 16 oz - and good outdoor seating availability. The beignets were amazing. We would have ordered fries but they were like $10. We went in mostly for beer and an appetizer. They had a good drink selection.

You pay up front with tip before you eat your meal, which I always hate because you should tip based off quality of service. Waited forever for food that was okay. Not a fan of the syrup they have. If you're gonna prioritize waffles on your menu, use real syrup.

AAAAAAHHHHHMAZING!!!! The best chicken and waffles my husband and I have ever had. The biscuits and gravy are legit (I would eat those biscuits with nothing on them, they are so fluffy) and the maple butter is to die for. I'd put that s**t on EVERYTHING!!!!

We love this place!! good atmosphere, friendly staff and most importantly amazing food!! best cheese curds ever!! the fried pickles and fried bird is so delicious, anything you order here you'll be happy with, the beignets are delicious too

Noble Wave was delicious! We got 1 appeteaser, and 2 sammies. The best way to describe each dish is delectably crunchy. Only complain would be that it is pricey for what you get. I believe it's a really well portion sized meal. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The Bin-Yay sliders was a great combo of sweet and savory. I wish I would've gotten some maple syrup, maybe next time. The Classic bird was beautiful. It had a crunchy chicken breast on it with house sauce, pickles, and lettuce on a super soft bun. The Hot Bird was semi hot and crunchy, unlike other hot chicken sandwiches that drown their chicken in hot sauce. Noble adds the hot sauce to the top of the breast, so it doesn't get soggy and their sammie gets to keep its crunch. It's all on top of a semi soft sweet bun with coleslaw, pickles, and crystal hot sauce in it. This place is on my must return list. They have other things on the menu I want to try fried alligator.

Very nice and bright inside, with big windows. We sat by the window. First you go up and order at the counter, they bring out the food. Food was very good, we both had Hot Bird Sandwich and their special sandwich. Drinks were good too, we had mojito and sazerac. Service was great during Covid-19, very cleaned and tables spaced out. Meter parking.

TL;DR: Yet another wonderful brunch spot :-) Went here for a birthday brunch on Sunday. There were 6 of us and we were able to be sat right at open with no wait. The mimosa's are a STEAL and so yummy. Try the pineapple one!! I ordered the sweet waffles and these were to die for. The maple butter is DELICIOUS. Soft, warm, sweet, buttery - everything you want from a Sunday brunch waffle. Others got chicken and waffles, biscuit and gravy, and the shrimp and grits. Everything was scrumptious! Two of us are from the deep south and said the grits were good! The biscuits are massive and the gravy was super flavorful. Staff did a great job of keeping water and coffee full. It was a fun time!

I asked about the cheeseburger and the guy said he thinks they had the best in town. He undersold this. It was the best cheeseburger ever. Juicy, this thing was dripping in the best way. The cheese was perfectly melted. We traveled to a park 5 mins away realizing it was the wrong one; 4 mins to the next and still was the best burger we ever had. The only travesty was having to split it and its two and half hours away. I dream about this burger. We also got the chicken beignets sliders the chicken was seasoned to perfection. The slaw needs a little something something but thats okay. The fries with the gravy was very savory and a little earthy loved that the soup in a container. Highly recommend

This is great place for a drink and good food. I went all out and over ordered because it all sounded so good. I was bit disappointed. Not a good place for kids, adult get away. I will be back!

Food is good looks fresh everything looks tasty and fortified atmosphere was decent do you know I would've been nice to see him maybe more Black people in there but you know we are in Portland but everything seem legit

Found this gem trying to escape the recent Salem heat wave while on travel for work. The office I was visiting kept talking about it so I had to go. Awesome location and had no issues parking, but can see how finding a spot on the weekend may be an issue. You walk in and place your order at the counter and then pick a table to sit at. It's not the largest spot but we had no issues finding seating. What came next was amazing. I had the bin-yay sliders and my coworker had the gumbo. The sliders were freaking delicious! Hands down best beignets outside of New Orleans - no joke. Crispy on the outside, pillowy soft on the inside, and sprinkled with a hefty dose of powered sugar while piping hot to get it to stick. The fried chicken was moist and well seasoned and the coleslaw had just enough moisture so that it added much need texture and crunch while ensuring it didn't over soak the beignet. I honestly felt like a glutton eating, as I have no idea what my coworker was rambling about or what was going on inside the restaurant...my only focus was my meal. The gumbo looked good and I was told it was, but my coworker didn't finish it (should've had the sliders). I'm disappointed in myself that I didn't try the draft beer, as there were so many different options that sounded good. I would definitely hit up Noble Wave next time I'm in Salem.
