Reviews for Territory in Independence, OR
We loved our experience and the food was amazing! Our waiter was super nice and knowledgeable. We got the French Dip, Cobb... Salad, and sweet chicken wings! Everything was so delicious! The French dip was done to perfection! The Salmon on the Cobb Saladwas great! And their Diablitos Margaritas were so good! We had them tone down the spice and opted for the mango and pineappleflavors. You won’t be disappointed! Read more
We had a wonderful meal at Territory this evening. The food was exceptional, service not so much. We had our meal delivered,... without cutlery, and were asked if we needed anything. ???? We ordered a bottle of white wine and weren't given an ice bucket.???? (Being seated by the fireplace didn't keep our wine chilled.) Service was slow, but the food was very good, so we will beback.

This is a really pretty venue. You have the choice of sitting inside (at a table or bar) by a fireplace, sit in the adjoining... all glass atrium or dine outside. Lots of seating options all with beautiful views of the Willamette river. The restaurant ispart of The Independence Hotel and , there are tables on their roof that have even better views. I'm not sure if you can orderfrom up there though. There are lots of good local beer and wine options and hard liquor as well. Food prices were a little onthe high end. Most dishes were either $15 or $25. Lots of good appetizers. I've had their steak, fish and chips and Salmon. Theywere all very good with excellent presentation. The staff were all very friendly. This is one of the best places to take an outof town friend or relative. Read more

Very nice dining experience. A great place to go for a nice dinner date. View of the Willamette from the covered back deck was a... pleasant addition to dining experience. We started with appetizers. The brussel sprouts were amazing and the portion was huge.Could make it a meal all by itself. We also ordered the tamarind spiced wings, which were a disapointment when compared to thebrussel sprout dish. Not a lot of flavor in the wings but the addes goat cheese dipping sauce was a pleasent addition toaccompany the wings. For the meal, she ordered the frence dip. The sandwich was superb but was lacking the salty and savoryaddition of the au jus as custimary for this meal. It was instead served with a rosemary infused oil dipping sauce that was toorich for this sandwich. The smoked gouda, carmelized onions and sauted mushrooms went superbly in the sandwich. I ordered thetriple pig burger for my meal. It was an outstanding combination of pork loin, pork belly, and sweet and spicy bacon. Theperfectly toasted ciabatta roll combined with the excellent combination of pork, cheese, slaw and secret sauces, made each biteworth the trip. Each meal came with fries that were eerily similar to the frozen shoestring fries you make yourself at home. Anattempt to uplevel the side was made by adding sea salt and chopped parsley to the fries. They were good but not great in myopinion (wife loved them). Overall, the meal was priced well for the quality of food and service you receive. Staff was verypleasant and attentive. I would highly recommend a trip to Independence to try it yourself, I dont think you will bedisappointed, I know we will be back (I had my eye on the newly added Coq Au Vin or the cajun mac and cheese).

My husband and I really loved this restaurant before they closed for Covid restrictions and their renovation. The covered patio... is a nice addition, but could use some gentle fans or misting on the hot days. My husband and I shared the brussel sprouts(which were our favorite things the last several times we had gone before they closed) and they were tasty, but they changedtheir recipe a bit to use the fatty chunks of bacon instead of the meaty bacon they had used before. It just wasn't quite asdelicious as it had been before. My husband had the burger and loved it. I splurged and ordered the steak with chimichurrisauce, but was very disappointed. The plating was underwhelming (no garnish or anything, just the steak and its juices runningdown the side which really didn't look appealing), the chimichurri sauce was good but sparse (the waitress actually brought memore), and the steak was cooked very unevenly (I ordered medium, and probably 20% of my steak was actually medium, 10% was justfat that I literally couldn't chew nor swallow, 15% was charred solid and tasted like charcoal, and the remaining 55% wasmedium-well or well-done).... If it was a good deal for the steak with no sides, that would be one thing, but it was $27! I feellike I wasted that money since I had like 3 bites that actually tasted relatively good, but I would not call it delicious. I didorder the lemonade mixed drink and it was tasty. The service was pretty good, but the steak really tainted the experience. Atthis point, we will only go back when I'm in the mood for a burger since my husband liked that so well and it was a reasonableprice. Read more
My friend’s burger was over cooked but their gin drink was good. Nice cross breeze when sitting inside and I had to order... their Cajun Tillamook Mac n Cheese. It had andouille sausage, bacon, four cheeses and was baked in the oven. Read more
