Had a fantastic time at Taproot Lounge & Cafe! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I ordered the Bacon Jam Elk Burger, and it was amazing—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The vibe was great because it was karaoke night, making for a fun and lively evening. Thanks for a wonderful experience! Highly recommend.

I have been searching for a spot with some healthy eats when we visit Salem. This is definitely at the top of my list now, definitely looking forward to going again. Innovative side dishes are super, and my house veggie patty had great texture and flavor.

Great spot. I stopped in for a coffee and had a genuinely good experience. The server was helpful without trying too hard and actually took the time to talk. He shared how he moved from California to Salem over 10 years ago and gave me solid, honest tips on places to check out around town. The atmosphere is relaxed and intentional good art on the walls, not random clutter. He also explained that they host open-mic comedy and have bands play from time to time, which fits the vibe perfectly. It feels like a place that actually supports local culture instead of just pretending to. I’ll definite

We had a great experience at taproot yesterday. I took my daughter's and they loved the food. I had the sticky wings and they were done to perfection! My oldest daughter had a breakfast sandwich and the upbeat had pancakes and bacon. Overall it was delicious. The atmosphere is a little dark and we liked it! Our waitress was also the bartender and she did a fantastic job of being attentive to us! We will definitely be back.

Enticing Menu, we went for breakfast; & ate lunch instead. sounded so delicious. Hard to decide. Not the same boring dishes like everywhere else so I couldnt wait. Our waitress was prompt & patient with me. I had her come back 3 times cuz I couldnt decided. She recomended the pork belly fat with onions & rice! It was SUPERB! Good prices. $19.00. YUMMY! I will visit again!
