Coyote Joe's

Willamina is undeniably a small town, and while there are good thing and bad things about a small town, one thing you can look forward to is a tasty local eatery where everyone is friendly and your family can just relax. Coyote Joe's provides both. The decor definitely reflects the frontier, timber mill style of the town, but it doesn't feel county like a Cracker Barrel. Everything is simple, from the drink station to the cash register to the dessert case. One look at that dessert case, though, and you'll know you're in for a delicious meal.



The burgers are generous in size and flavor. The sides and appetizers are more than just something to stick on the plate, and the desserts range from the classic to Willamette Valley specials. Moving from a metropolitan area to the countryside of Oregon seemed like some sort of banishment straight from the movies, but with a local joint like Coyote Joe's, we might be bored, but we'll NEVER be hungry.
