Great sandwiches but not real fast.

This was our first visit to the horse radish and all we can say is WOWZA! We had one ham and cheese sandwich with the fig sauce and one without. Both were excellent. The quiche served with bacon was delicious! The salad was very fresh and the bleu cheese dressing was amazing. THEN we had dessert. Oh my god. The chocolate cake - superb. The cheese cake was very good and the crem Brule was also delicious. But the chocolate cake..... :) :) I ordered a decaf with cream to balance out the dessert. It came in a French press and was excellent. Made 2 full cups. The whole experience was nothing but GREAT and we will definitely be going back! I wouldn't say the menu is geared towards kids which is fine. There was a baby there and he was very happy and very well attended by his parents. Actually there was a TV but happily the volume was either off or very low. Gotta love Yelp cuz that's how we found this place.

Someone recommended this place to us because we wanted to find some picnic food. The lady at the front cash register was so nice and passionate about helping us find the perfect things to eat. We got the pastrami sandwich which was probably the best sandwich I have ever tasted in my life! We also got a cheese plate and the butterscotch oatmeal cookie. Everything was delicious!
(5)Danah A.
What a delightful find! Amazing sandwiches on focaccia bread. The roast beef was wonderful & the blt with a side of horseradish honey mustard is crazy good! Really comfortable environment & a wine bar in the back; what could be better?!
(5)Jeff M.
Tucked away in the Oregon wine country is a wonderful lunch spot in Carlton, The Horse Radish. We visited a year ago and have thought of the pastrami ever since. We drove 60 minutes to relive the experience. We were not let down. The pastrami on focaccia is a savory sandwich second to none. My wife had the red pepper soup and enjoyed it very much. The menu is simple and built for lunch. It is out of the way but well worth the drive. We look forward to our next visit.
(5)Michelle S.
This place was recommended by a winery and it was such a great find. The food is so fresh and delicious. Had a red pepper soup, Italian sandwich on grilled focaccia bread and a ham sandwich with fig jam and brie that was to die for. Excellent service too!
(5)Trent M.
Seriously though, 5 stars. Enough said. I get the roast beef sandwich with pickled onions, blue cheese, and horseradish sauce. It's by far the best sandwich I've ever had. I wish it was closer because it's out here kind of in the middle of nowhere. Well worth the drive though!
(5)Karlynn F.
We had the most incredible opportunity to meet Ken Wright and listen to him speak on wine making. Afterwards, we went to the Horseradish for lunch while tasting his wines and it was fantastic! I had the veggie panini and all I can say is that vegetarian sandwich may have been the best sandwich I've had in my life. It was stacked with avocado, hummus, the juiciest tomatoes, creamiest chèvre, and pickled onions. Perfection!
(5)Genelle M.
Appetizer baked Brie with fig jam craisens and hazelnuts. To die for. Ham and pastrami sandwiches so good! Husband eating banana coconut pie. Delicious! Stop by. Staff is great. Service is excellent. We give it a 5
(5)Josh B.
Very tasty sandwiches and soup!
(3)Donald C.
Good prices, cool vibe, great sandwiches made EXACTLY how you prefer to have them made. Meat eaters, non meat eaters, vegetarians, vegans....come try Horse Radish. You'll love it.
(5)Casey K.
In our travels through the Willamette Valley, this sandwich shop rivals some of the "so-called" best of Portland with a varied selection of fine wines, gourmet cheeses, and artisan sandwiches. Not only did we enjoy a hand selected plate of fresh cheese and meats, but every sandwich at the table was filling and delicious. A very pleasant surprise after a recommendation from Winemakers, a local vineyard.
(4)Tiffany M.
Oh Carlton, you are a delight. Options for lunch in this *literally* one street town are quite limited, but at least I know one of the (I think) three options for lunch is a winner. Both the wine and beer list are pretty incredible for such an unassuming little place. JAM and I each tried a different local beer (both of which are escaping me) that hit the spot. You can make custom cheese/charcuterie plates, which I will definitely try on my next visit. But after having started tasting early and in desperate need of some serious food, we opted for slightly more satisfying fare. The veggie sandwich was quite good. We split the sandwich and also got a cup of their potato soup. It was served with a side of potato chips, which sounds like overkill (and it is) but the cannibal in me loves dipping chips in some potato soup. Service here is attentive but not invasive. The atmosphere is very laid-back and welcoming. Highly recommend if you need a bite while near Carlton!
(4)N S.
Another great evening at The Horse Radish. Fabulous sandwiches with Carlton Farms bacon on BLT and smoked ham on ham, swiss and fig jam sandwich. We came to enjoy Isaac Turner a one man band. He is an amazing artist with so many talents. Love his Samsonite suitcase base drum and looper. We look forward to the next time.
(5)Vanessa M.
The sandwiches are literally to die for! I try a new one every time. They also make a great cheese platter and have a wonderful selection of affordable wine to go with your meal. This is a must stop every time I go out to wine country and enjoy it every time!
(5)Aeric E.
Great lunch venue in the small town of Carlton. Great atmosphere. Of course there is plenty of wine. Quality sandwiches.
(4)Matt M.
This establishment came highly recommended to us. We missed out on the live music and nightlife at The Horse Radish, unfortunately, but made it for lunch the next day. Its spacious and has a great vibe. We sat in the back and had probably the best veggie sandwich I've ever had in my entire life. The server was brilliant and jumped right in with some recommendations when we were stuck on deciding the last cheese to add to our order. And his recommendation was excellent. He even included a complementary horseradish cheese that was amazing. So to sum it up: excellent ambiance, excellent food, and excellent service. Can't wait to return and experience an evening at The Horse Radish.
(5)Jennifer J.
YUM! Big portions, so be warned. We split a cheese plate and a Roast Beef sandwich. We would of been just fine with the sandwich. IT IS HUGE! It cam on a gorgeous foccacia bread layered up with about 2" of beautifully sliced roast beef with pickled red onions and a horseradish blue cheese dressing. Darling place with nice service. Perfect little stop between tastings!
(5)Kelli G.
Really enjoy this place .. Been here 4 times when bands were playing .. Good food,drinks, and service
(4)John B.
I must apologize that I no longer remember which sandwich I had. I'm 90% sure it was pastrami and it was outstanding. The atmosphere is very cool; laid back. Food: 4 Service: 4 Ambiance: 4
(4)Lindsey L.
One of the best cheese plates I have had. The Blue Cheese and Bacon dip is truly decadent. From talking to others in the area, the sandwiches are even better.
(5)Adam M.
Came into town for some wine tasting and needed to grab a bite to eat. Stumbled on this lil place; wonderful atmosphere and even better food. Recommend the cheese plate and sandwiches. Great place for a light lunch and some wine.
(5)Tamsen G.
One word: charcuterie. I want to use one word, but really I can't. Because the Horse Radish has a lot to love. Why do I love them? Let me count the ways. 1 - THE CHARCUTERIE. Sorry to yell it, but it's worth ringing the bell about. The meats are fabulous. Truly fabulous. 2 - The fromagerie - really? Amazing meat AND amazing cheeses? No way. It's pretty hard to impress me on this front, but by all measures, their cheese selection is out of this world. 3 - Live music. Like, this guy lives down the street from you and plays that wicked blues for you and your patrons? Get out. No, really. So many things you'd never know about the Carlton community. 4 - Oh, the wines? Yeah. The wines. Amazing selection. 5 - Service. Was. Great. Can't wait to go back. Hopefully minus the drunken trollop troupe of bachelorette partygoers.
(5)Jennifer L.
After a winemaker's dinner down the street, we wandered into the Horse Radish about 15 min before closing. They were kind enough to let us order a drink and listen to the last 4 songs from the live band. The atmosphere was relaxed, the service was great, and the music was entertaining. If we found ourselves in Carlton again we would certainly return for a meal.
(5)Jeff O.
Great lunch stop to sustain us amid a hefty day of wine tasting. Big, filling meaty sandwiches on good bread with great sauce.
(4)Steve J.
We always try to slow-drive out to Carlton when Garry Meziere Orvil Ivie Bill Foss play! It's a lovely drive, and the Horseradish has excellent food and wine to go with Ivie/Meziere's insanely talented music! We always kick some tables outa the way and dance a few! So fun, love it! Great service, fun mellow crowd.
(5)Evelyn S.
I will have to go back in order to give it another try because I imagine that this place really deserves 4 or 5 stars. At this time I can only give it 3. I walked in with a friend and all we wanted was a cup of coffee. We were greeted warmly. The place was maybe 1/4 occupied. We settled onto a cute settee and comfortable chair. The lovely server brought a large to-go cup and asked for $4. She did check back with me on several occasions to make sure I had enough cream, she put the cream into the cup behind the counter rather than letting me put the cream in my cup. $4 for a to-go cup of plain boring coffee is silly. The decor was comfortable and the staff seemed friendly.
(3)Tasha D.
I think this was the best ham sandwich I've ever had in my life. And for something as prosaic as a ham sandwich, it's really hard to get that wow factor. And yet the wow was had.
(5)Margaret M.
This is a great place to put a layer of food down before or after wine tastings in the area! And they also sell a lot of wines too if you want to keep swilling. We had a ham sandwich and a pastrami sandwich that were both excellent - their meats are truly special and we scarfed them down. The waitstaff were incredibly kind and gracious and even brought out some toys for our toddler to play with.
(5)Matt G.
This place is great. Excellent, friendly service. Fantastic food. Great beer and wine selection. And live music. What more do you need? We will absolutely be back.
(5)Sharon M.
Just had lunch today at the Horse Radish in Carlton with my family. The spot was recommend to us by someone at a winery and we thought we would give it a try. The place was very good and I would definitely recommend it for lunch. I had half turkey sandwich and salad. The name itself doesn't do it justice. The turkey was pepper smoked and yummy with avocado. The salad had cranberries, hazelnuts and feta cheese with a creamy vinaigrette dressing. I made all gone. My husband had the brie quiche of the day and my daughter in law had the grilled cheese of the day. A good time was had by all, and service was very good.
(4)Kristy M.
Great wine (and beer!) selection? Check. Nice atmosphere? Check. Delicious cheese and meats? Check check. Amazing dessert? Crap, I didn't get a chance to try any - but the menu was impressive! What's not to like about The Horse Radish? Absolutely nothing! Julie and her staff are super accommodating for groups. I staffed a casual gathering there over the weekend for my university's alumni association. It was our third year meeting there, and I can say with certainty that we'll be back next year. I love The Horse Radish!
(5)Katie M.
I've eaten here a handful of times, always get a sandwich and I'm almost always thrilled with it. This last time the bread was a little stale. The music was loud too. Don't go after 6:45 on the weekend if you expect to have a conversation! The staff are always great, and the owner is very charming. My cheese eating friends were impressed with the quality of the cheese.
(4)Hayden N.
Like the decor and the selection of cheese. I had the organic mixed green salad, which had goat cheese, cranberries, and hazelnut with a balsamic vinaigrette. Also tried the tomato bisque. It was tasty, but I feel that I could make it myself and it was a little over priced.
(3)Corrie H.
Yelp rarely steers me wrong, and this was no exception. After a very long afternoon of drinking in wine country, one tends to need food... and maybe a little drinking that occurs while sitting down. We ordered a large meat and cheese plate ($18.00), and while the portion was not mind-blowing, the fun of choosing one's own meat and cheese was. The options were fairly overwhelming, but at last we settled on Truffle Stack cheese (ooooh, yes!), and four other items. Delicious munching ensued. We also ordered a flight of local wines, and it was nice to savor without the imperative to buy, buy, buy when we were done. The place was deadly quiet when we were there (mid-afternoon), but I doubt it's like that at a normal meal time. The server was attentive without being too attentive. Highly recommended.
(4)Jamie H.
Yum! Great food! My husband and I shared the salmon dip with a warm baguette and I had a veggie sandwich with salad and he had the pastrami. Mine was delicious and fresh! He loved his sandwich. Service was great as well. We will return here for lunch another time!
(5)Heather C.
Lovely patio seating in the back, but you have to open the umbrella yourself if it isn't already open. I ordered the quiche, which was just ok. Eggs and cheese in an unimpressive crust. No interesting texture at all. The salad greens could have been brightened if they were tossed in the dressing before serving. The drizzle was uneven and didn't so much for the nearly wilted greens. Service was so-so. Luckily, I was with great company and still enjoyed my visit. I will look for other lunch options in this area.
(2)Jason P.
Love this spot right in downtown Carlton when wine tasting in the area. The food and service is consistently excellent and they are conveniently located close to many tasting rooms. The sandwiches are always my go to choice here. That's saying something from someone who isn't a big sandwich eater, but they are fantastic here! You can't go wrong with their salads or soups either. And if you haven't had enough wine or aren't tasting that day (shame on you) they have a great selection of local wines and beers on the menu as well!
(4)Ty D.
We visited the Horse Radish on the recommendation of random folks we met in southern Oregon, and it turned out to be one of the more enjoyable meals we had during our trip through the Pacific Northwest. The sandwiches were as good as advertised (I had the ham and turkey special), but what we'll really remember was the outstanding selection of cheeses (in particular the Truffle Tremor), paired with local wines. Service was friendly, and we could have stayed all afternoon.
(5)Felicia P.
Ahhhhhhhhh what a fun stop after a super day! We sat on the patio which offered a view of a parking lot which at first was odd but ended up not mattering much at all. We got wine and built our own cheese plate. Did someone say seasonal brie?! SIGN ME UP!!!!! Cheese, I mean really you just can't go wrong. I think I am part mouse. It was wonderful. The service was good and speedy and the wine selection was on point. I can't help but throw some 5 star love at this adorable little place. I will definitely be back for more!!!
(5)Steve K.
This is a great spot for lunch while out wine-tasting. The food is delicious, the staff are friendly, the vibe is chill, and the beer is cold Recommended
(4)Brandy P.
Every single sandwich they offer is superb, and they have a gluten free bread that actually tastes like bread! Live music and dinner specials on Friday & Saturday nights. Outdoor patio seating that is dog friendly. Yummy cheese and charcuterie plates, perfect if you are out and about wine tasting.
(4)Sandra G.
Great little place, awesome sandwiches & small wine list. For a town the size are Carlton, it is great to find such good food & service!!
(5)Sarah V. M.
We had such a good experience here. Amidst a day of wine tasting we needed a little something-something to go with our next round. We bopped into the Horse Radish and were greeted by stellar service, a variety of meets and cheeses and even half gluten free bread and half regular, to service all members of our party. Next time we'll plan ahead and do a proper meal with wine here.
(5)James B.
very beautiful space for a revamped hardware store. this space embraces the redeveloped vibe of carlton. The lunch is well-executed and the portions are generous. I had the brie and fig appetizer along with the turkey sandwich and I'm still full four hours later.
(4)Atticus D.
Great service, music (blind pilot) on the box and of course a nice selection of wine. Ask for Ryan.
(4)Adam R.
We were in a hurry, and had about five minutes get some food for the road. The woman who owned the place totally got this and prepared us an excellent cheese plate to go. Five different kinds of cheeses, all different, all well cut, all in a very short period of time. She was great! The place seemed nice, airy and decent, but the service shone through. Cheese was hella good as well.
(5)Griffith G.
This place was amazing! We went for sandwiches after doing some wine tastings at some local wineries. The BLT with Avacado (or blat as I like to call it) was terrific. The best bacon I have had in a long time, and I LOVE bacon! (Bacon makes everything better) My father ordered the Ham and cheese sandwich (with the fig sauce on the side) and loved it! He even tried to the fig sauce and admitted that it was pretty tasty as well! (He is not the most adventurous eater so that was a big step for him!) Very friendly staff, quality ingredients, cute space! If you are in the area and need a place for lunch, this is as good as it gets!
(5)Rebecca B.
Carlton is a cute little town and the Horseradish is a good spot for lunch when you're ready to take a break from wine tasting. I see lots of recommendations to get the ham sandwich and I couldn't agree more. Fig sauce. 'Nuff said. It's superb! My husband got the beef sandwich though and that was also very good. But not as good as the ham sandwich. With fig sauce. But I digress...the roasted red pepper soup was also good. I had a half sandwich and recommend that unless you are really starving as the sandwiches are huge.
(4)Travis R.
So I was lured here with the promise that the beer I desperately sought was once again stocked. This was not a lie. For the record, its Hirschbräu, doppel-hirsch. That's German for awesome. Last night I again ordered the pastrami, and once again I confirmed it has no equal. The wife ordered the salmon dip as her main entree. On the side she got the evening special of mac & cheese (so decadently good) and a caesar salad. For dessert I believe she ordered the salmon dip. Her love affair with that evil sauce really is an obsession. Last summer we bought a meat and cheese plate for a picnic, and a small container of the salmon dip to go. She accidentally left it in our car overnight. The next day I had to drive back to purchase more just to calm her tears of rage. I can no longer in good conscious hold that 5th star hostage. In fact, this is the only local establishment I would rate a 6th star if it were possible. My addict of a wife raised her fist in the air and still demands they open up later on week days though.

It was a nice day over a long Veterans Day Weekend. I came back from the beach prominently displaying my pink "Peace, Love, Party" sweatshirt. I thought what are the odds that I will run into anyone I know in Carlton. Well, actually, pretty good I guess as I tried to cross my arms in front of my silly shirt and chatted with a couple of people from church. Perhaps, I'm too old for the frivolity of an ironically themed shirt, but I digress here. The Horse Radish is a low key wine bar and has many little spots to sit which remind you somewhat of a living room in some areas and a pub in other areas. The back room has a couple of pool tables if you want to partake in that sort of thing. We started out to sit on a couch and then found some bar stools with a view of the Boise State game in Hi Definition. We ordered a couple of flights of their red wines. They came out with about six glasses and we both tried some of each one of the glasses of various reds and noted the ones that we liked. One of the ones I really liked that day was a Pinot Noir from Biggio Hamina Cellars. The lighting in the bar is a low and the wood dark it makes it a nice place to hang out and sip wine. We had some sandwiches while we were there as well. A huge turkey sandwich on focaccia bread was tasty and helped soak up some of the wine. I'll be back to try it again, it looked like there was some seating out front for nicer weather and the staff was friendly and kept checking back with you. Don't think some of your Portland friends won't be there because they will. Leave the Peace, Love, Party shirt at home.
(4)Cate E.
I wish we had a restaurant like this in my town. Great sandwiches, salads, and awesome soup! Best of all, they have gluten free bread so I could actually have a whole sandwich. Can't say enough good things about this restaurant!
(5)Don B.
Horseradish is a great little wine bar and snackatorium right in the heart of downtown Carlton. It provides a great respite from the ardors of marathon tasting days and a good place to get off your feet and refuel with grub. They also offer plenty of wine if you need to keep drinking after the tasting rooms close at a woefully early 5 or 6pm. Plus they offer live music on some nights, a pool table in the back, and a patio out the back side of the bar. For wines, the focus is mostly local with some offerings from Washington as well. On the food side, think small plates like hummus, olives, almonds, meats, cheeses, etc. The cheese list is actually pretty impressive, with stand out options including the Rogue blues, Humboldt Fog, Cougar Gold, Roaring 40's and more. For meats, a fairly short but sweet collection of soppresata, capicolla and various other cured pork and beef. The service is friendly but laid back, and at least when we visited on a Saturday had some sort of tasting going on at the wine bar itself. The seating consists of tables and some comfy, lounge-y couches. While a day of wine tasting might usually leave me wanting a bit more substantial small-plate offerings (almonds and olives don't soak up much vino), it's better than what most tasting rooms kick out. This is definitely a nice little oasis in a sea of pinot.
(4)Michael C.
The Horse Radish is a very nice although slightly chaotically run restaurant. If they get a bit business confusion seems to rein however they seem to pull it out of the fire in the end. Not surprisingly they have a very good selection of wines. Their food is excellent. We had an artisan platter of meats and cheeses that was fantastic. A brie and smoked salmon sandwich was top flight with fresh bread and smooth creamy brie. The atmosphere is low key and comfortable. They have an outdoor area in the back. Nice spot to eat between drinking at all the surrounding wineries.
(4)John P.
Great lunch spot while touring the local wineries. Baked Brie appetizer is amazing.
(5)david h.
Mama Cass? Ham sandwich. Best ham sandwich ever. Incredible cheese plates. Incredible pate. Insanely good raspberry pie. Great service, atmosphere and beer/wine selection. Would like beer on tap but with food this good who cares.
(5)William R.
The sandwiches were great and the service was excellent. So why only a 4? They need to see if they can add a bathroom since the line was about 10 minutes long with only one room. The second item was the smoked salmon dip. There is a prize if you could find even a sliver of salmon. It was like salmon flavored cream cheese that was whipped.
(4)Steve T.
There's a nice emphasis on quality here. I got a pastrami sandwich to go and everything was nice. Good quality pastrami and bread and the fixings to go with it were all fresh. I also bought a couple samples of cheese to try. They have a good selection.
(4)Joe C.
Great food, employees, music and vino! The Radish is an awesome place to hangout out in while in Carlton. Julie and her crew really take pride in looking after all the little details. I only wish I could get there more than once a month. Cheers!
(5)Martha R.
I just adore this place... they are a cheese and wine bar in the heart of downtown Carlton (okay, Carlton is only a one-block downtown so everything is in the heart). They have a great selection of wines, and a nice little cheese menu with some artisan meats, and some other little goodies to satisfy the tummy while drinking all the great wines. This past weekend, they had Doug and Joy from Anthony Dell wines pouring some of their wines... and they were wonderful - both personality-wise, and wine-wise. The staff there is very knowledgeable, and friendly, and there are a lot of other wine-folks lurking about that you can strike up conversations with. The atmosphere is just fantastic, and the location is great for a little wine-drinking break from all the wine-tasting that you have to do... sometimes it's nice to take a little break from the running around, and be able to drink a full glass, and relax for a few, and this is the place to do it. I just wish that this place was a two-block walk from my house... wait, no I don't - I'd be there all the time spending money that I don't have!
(4)Charles H.
I dropped in last week for a quick bite, not knowing anything about this restaurant. Ordered a BLT. It turned out to be an amazing surprise. Everything about it was wonderful and it was probably the best BLT I've ever had. The tomatoes were amazingly fresh and sweet, the bacon done perfectly with salad greens a wonderful sauce. The final touch was that it was on toasted focaccia bread. It was served very simply with thick-cut potato chips. This is a great stop for lunch on any tour of Oregon Wine Country.
(5)Andy P.
Fantastic atmosphere in the heart of Oregon wine country. Great cheese selection, strong wine list and happy, engaging owners. Loved the live music the two nights I was there. Also went in for lunch, and the smoked ham with fig jam was stunning. If every town had a Horse Radish, the world would be happier.
(5)Brian D.
Sat down and had a wine tasting at our table, nice meat and cheese selection, bruscetta that was OK, and 2 nice baguettes. Didn't have any hot food or dessert so I can't comment on that. It's in wine country so its not cheap. I would gladly go back and hopefully will get the chance to.
(4)Bill W.
Everything we had tasted so fresh and local. The perfect place for lunch while visiting the wine country.
(5)Slappy L.
The sandwiches are really good.....We were dissapointed with the sad, micro sized $12 cheese/meat plate.
(3)Mike K.
I saw a magazine cover that named Carlton the "Winetasting Capital of Oregon". It's probably right, and Horseradish plays right along with that identity. You can taste a good (not stellar, but good enough for me) selection of wines, get some cheeses/meats to go along with said wines, get a sandwich and soup if you're hungry, watch the game on TV if it's on, or play some pool in the back. As with the rest of Carlton, it's pretty chill, folks are friendly, and I'll definitely be back. Oh and the food is quite good too.
(4)Christina T.
Great place to grab lunch or meats/cheeses in between wine tasting along Carlton's downtown tasting rooms. We had the selection of artisinal cheeses and meats, served with baguette and fig jam. We split it and it surprisingly was enough to fill us up so we could continue wine tasting along Main Street. They also had a great selection of local wines. We were able to purchase a bottle of the wine we had, which was nice so we didn't have to seek out that winery. Very laid back and cozy atmosphere and reasonable prices.
(4)James S.
Just a killer cheese plate. And great atmosphere to boot. A good value by any definition. Try it out if you are ever in Carlton or anywhere nearby.
(4)Anthony B.
The Horseradish is the perfect pit stop in your tour through wine country. They have lots of cheese, sliced meets, wine, beer, and the option to put peppered or candied bacon on anything. They also have one of my favorite foods: Dipping something delicious into something else that's delicious.
(5)C. B.
We had a marvelous lunch here on a Sunday afternoon. We ordered wine, a cheese plate with goat and sheep cheeses and sandwiches on gluten free bread. We also took gluten free cookies to go. All of the food was very fresh and yummy. The owner's parents were there working and were very friendly. We will stop again when visiting the wine country.
(5)J M.
Great little spot to stop and have a bite to eat while wine tasting. They offered artisan cheese plates, upscale sandwiches, and salads. The atmosphere is unique, they have a sparsly decorated space, that is quite large and the seating isn't crowded at all. Some people were sitting on sofas, while others were perched up on stools next to tall tables. There were even a few tables in the back on a patio.
(4)Terry M.
Had lunch there today! What a lovely breath of fresh air.......nice decor, spotlessly clean, and roomy. We had the pastrami on artisan bread which was warm and fresh and delish, and shared a portion of their quiche which was the best ever!!! They have a wonderful beer selection, not to mention the very best of the local wines, and a fantastic selection of cheeses. I cant wait to go back to try all the other lovely items on their menu
(4)Reed W.
This little wine bar caters to the spotty wine crowd that meanders around the county looking for the latest wine craze. It's obvious the owner has deep pockets as the customer base would never cover the costs here. In any case they do have live music which is to their credit... although they aren't very venturesome with their choices and seem to hire the same old blues crooners week after week. Check the place out for a grin sometime. There's a dive bar about a block away if you get bored and run out of money.

We had the pastrami on artisan bread which was warm and fresh and delish, and shared a portion of their quiche which was the best ever!!! They have a wonderful beer selection, not to mention the very best of the local wines, and a fantastic selection of cheeses. I cant wait to go back to try all the other lovely items on their menu

This little wine bar caters to the spotty wine crowd that meanders around the county looking for the latest wine craze. It's obvious the owner has deep pockets as the customer base would never cover the costs here. In any case they do have live music which is to their credit... although they aren't very venturesome with their choices and seem to hire the same old blues crooners week after week. Check the place out for a grin sometime. There's a dive bar about a block away if you get bored and run out of money.

YUM! Big portions, so be warned. We split a cheese plate and a Roast Beef sandwich. We would of been just fine with the sandwich. IT IS HUGE! It cam on a gorgeous foccacia bread layered up with about 2" of beautifully sliced roast beef with pickled red onions and a horseradish blue cheese dressing. Darling place with nice service. Perfect little stop between tastings!

Really enjoy this place .. Been here 4 times when bands were playing .. Good food,drinks, and service
(4)John B.
I must apologize that I no longer remember which sandwich I had. I'm 90% sure it was pastrami and it was outstanding. The atmosphere is very cool; laid back. Food: 4 Service: 4 Ambiance: 4
(4)Lindsey L.
One of the best cheese plates I have had. The Blue Cheese and Bacon dip is truly decadent. From talking to others in the area, the sandwiches are even better.
(5)Tamsen G.
One word: charcuterie. I want to use one word, but really I can't. Because the Horse Radish has a lot to love. Why do I love them? Let me count the ways. 1 - THE CHARCUTERIE. Sorry to yell it, but it's worth ringing the bell about. The meats are fabulous. Truly fabulous. 2 - The fromagerie - really? Amazing meat AND amazing cheeses? No way. It's pretty hard to impress me on this front, but by all measures, their cheese selection is out of this world. 3 - Live music. Like, this guy lives down the street from you and plays that wicked blues for you and your patrons? Get out. No, really. So many things you'd never know about the Carlton community. 4 - Oh, the wines? Yeah. The wines. Amazing selection. 5 - Service. Was. Great. Can't wait to go back. Hopefully minus the drunken trollop troupe of bachelorette partygoers.
(5)Jennifer L.
After a winemaker's dinner down the street, we wandered into the Horse Radish about 15 min before closing. They were kind enough to let us order a drink and listen to the last 4 songs from the live band. The atmosphere was relaxed, the service was great, and the music was entertaining. If we found ourselves in Carlton again we would certainly return for a meal.
(5)Jeff O.
Great lunch stop to sustain us amid a hefty day of wine tasting. Big, filling meaty sandwiches on good bread with great sauce.
(4)Steve J.
We always try to slow-drive out to Carlton when Garry Meziere Orvil Ivie Bill Foss play! It's a lovely drive, and the Horseradish has excellent food and wine to go with Ivie/Meziere's insanely talented music! We always kick some tables outa the way and dance a few! So fun, love it! Great service, fun mellow crowd.
(5)Adam M.
Came into town for some wine tasting and needed to grab a bite to eat. Stumbled on this lil place; wonderful atmosphere and even better food. Recommend the cheese plate and sandwiches. Great place for a light lunch and some wine.
(5)Evelyn S.
I will have to go back in order to give it another try because I imagine that this place really deserves 4 or 5 stars. At this time I can only give it 3. I walked in with a friend and all we wanted was a cup of coffee. We were greeted warmly. The place was maybe 1/4 occupied. We settled onto a cute settee and comfortable chair. The lovely server brought a large to-go cup and asked for $4. She did check back with me on several occasions to make sure I had enough cream, she put the cream into the cup behind the counter rather than letting me put the cream in my cup. $4 for a to-go cup of plain boring coffee is silly. The decor was comfortable and the staff seemed friendly.
(3)Tasha D.
I think this was the best ham sandwich I've ever had in my life. And for something as prosaic as a ham sandwich, it's really hard to get that wow factor. And yet the wow was had.
(5)Nancy R.
This was our first visit to the horse radish and all we can say is WOWZA! We had one ham and cheese sandwich with the fig sauce and one without. Both were excellent. The quiche served with bacon was delicious! The salad was very fresh and the bleu cheese dressing was amazing. THEN we had dessert. Oh my god. The chocolate cake - superb. The cheese cake was very good and the crem Brule was also delicious. But the chocolate cake..... :) :) I ordered a decaf with cream to balance out the dessert. It came in a French press and was excellent. Made 2 full cups. The whole experience was nothing but GREAT and we will definitely be going back! I wouldn't say the menu is geared towards kids which is fine. There was a baby there and he was very happy and very well attended by his parents. Actually there was a TV but happily the volume was either off or very low. Gotta love Yelp cuz that's how we found this place.
(5)Rachel M.
Someone recommended this place to us because we wanted to find some picnic food. The lady at the front cash register was so nice and passionate about helping us find the perfect things to eat. We got the pastrami sandwich which was probably the best sandwich I have ever tasted in my life! We also got a cheese plate and the butterscotch oatmeal cookie. Everything was delicious!
(5)Danah A.
What a delightful find! Amazing sandwiches on focaccia bread. The roast beef was wonderful & the blt with a side of horseradish honey mustard is crazy good! Really comfortable environment & a wine bar in the back; what could be better?!
(5)Jeff M.
Tucked away in the Oregon wine country is a wonderful lunch spot in Carlton, The Horse Radish. We visited a year ago and have thought of the pastrami ever since. We drove 60 minutes to relive the experience. We were not let down. The pastrami on focaccia is a savory sandwich second to none. My wife had the red pepper soup and enjoyed it very much. The menu is simple and built for lunch. It is out of the way but well worth the drive. We look forward to our next visit.
(5)Michelle S.
This place was recommended by a winery and it was such a great find. The food is so fresh and delicious. Had a red pepper soup, Italian sandwich on grilled focaccia bread and a ham sandwich with fig jam and brie that was to die for. Excellent service too!
(5)Karlynn F.
We had the most incredible opportunity to meet Ken Wright and listen to him speak on wine making. Afterwards, we went to the Horseradish for lunch while tasting his wines and it was fantastic! I had the veggie panini and all I can say is that vegetarian sandwich may have been the best sandwich I've had in my life. It was stacked with avocado, hummus, the juiciest tomatoes, creamiest chèvre, and pickled onions. Perfection!
(5)Trent M.
Seriously though, 5 stars. Enough said. I get the roast beef sandwich with pickled onions, blue cheese, and horseradish sauce. It's by far the best sandwich I've ever had. I wish it was closer because it's out here kind of in the middle of nowhere. Well worth the drive though!
(5)Jamie H.
Yum! Great food! My husband and I shared the salmon dip with a warm baguette and I had a veggie sandwich with salad and he had the pastrami. Mine was delicious and fresh! He loved his sandwich. Service was great as well. We will return here for lunch another time!
(5)Heather C.
Lovely patio seating in the back, but you have to open the umbrella yourself if it isn't already open. I ordered the quiche, which was just ok. Eggs and cheese in an unimpressive crust. No interesting texture at all. The salad greens could have been brightened if they were tossed in the dressing before serving. The drizzle was uneven and didn't so much for the nearly wilted greens. Service was so-so. Luckily, I was with great company and still enjoyed my visit. I will look for other lunch options in this area.
(2)Jason P.
Love this spot right in downtown Carlton when wine tasting in the area. The food and service is consistently excellent and they are conveniently located close to many tasting rooms. The sandwiches are always my go to choice here. That's saying something from someone who isn't a big sandwich eater, but they are fantastic here! You can't go wrong with their salads or soups either. And if you haven't had enough wine or aren't tasting that day (shame on you) they have a great selection of local wines and beers on the menu as well!
(4)Ty D.
We visited the Horse Radish on the recommendation of random folks we met in southern Oregon, and it turned out to be one of the more enjoyable meals we had during our trip through the Pacific Northwest. The sandwiches were as good as advertised (I had the ham and turkey special), but what we'll really remember was the outstanding selection of cheeses (in particular the Truffle Tremor), paired with local wines. Service was friendly, and we could have stayed all afternoon.
(5)Felicia P.
Ahhhhhhhhh what a fun stop after a super day! We sat on the patio which offered a view of a parking lot which at first was odd but ended up not mattering much at all. We got wine and built our own cheese plate. Did someone say seasonal brie?! SIGN ME UP!!!!! Cheese, I mean really you just can't go wrong. I think I am part mouse. It was wonderful. The service was good and speedy and the wine selection was on point. I can't help but throw some 5 star love at this adorable little place. I will definitely be back for more!!!
(5)Steve K.
This is a great spot for lunch while out wine-tasting. The food is delicious, the staff are friendly, the vibe is chill, and the beer is cold Recommended
(4)Brandy P.
Every single sandwich they offer is superb, and they have a gluten free bread that actually tastes like bread! Live music and dinner specials on Friday & Saturday nights. Outdoor patio seating that is dog friendly. Yummy cheese and charcuterie plates, perfect if you are out and about wine tasting.
(4)Sandra G.
Great little place, awesome sandwiches & small wine list. For a town the size are Carlton, it is great to find such good food & service!!
(5)Genelle M.
Appetizer baked Brie with fig jam craisens and hazelnuts. To die for. Ham and pastrami sandwiches so good! Husband eating banana coconut pie. Delicious! Stop by. Staff is great. Service is excellent. We give it a 5
(5)Donald C.
Good prices, cool vibe, great sandwiches made EXACTLY how you prefer to have them made. Meat eaters, non meat eaters, vegetarians, vegans....come try Horse Radish. You'll love it.
(5)Casey K.
In our travels through the Willamette Valley, this sandwich shop rivals some of the "so-called" best of Portland with a varied selection of fine wines, gourmet cheeses, and artisan sandwiches. Not only did we enjoy a hand selected plate of fresh cheese and meats, but every sandwich at the table was filling and delicious. A very pleasant surprise after a recommendation from Winemakers, a local vineyard.
(4)Tiffany M.
Oh Carlton, you are a delight. Options for lunch in this *literally* one street town are quite limited, but at least I know one of the (I think) three options for lunch is a winner. Both the wine and beer list are pretty incredible for such an unassuming little place. JAM and I each tried a different local beer (both of which are escaping me) that hit the spot. You can make custom cheese/charcuterie plates, which I will definitely try on my next visit. But after having started tasting early and in desperate need of some serious food, we opted for slightly more satisfying fare. The veggie sandwich was quite good. We split the sandwich and also got a cup of their potato soup. It was served with a side of potato chips, which sounds like overkill (and it is) but the cannibal in me loves dipping chips in some potato soup. Service here is attentive but not invasive. The atmosphere is very laid-back and welcoming. Highly recommend if you need a bite while near Carlton!
(4)N S.
Another great evening at The Horse Radish. Fabulous sandwiches with Carlton Farms bacon on BLT and smoked ham on ham, swiss and fig jam sandwich. We came to enjoy Isaac Turner a one man band. He is an amazing artist with so many talents. Love his Samsonite suitcase base drum and looper. We look forward to the next time.
(5)Vanessa M.
The sandwiches are literally to die for! I try a new one every time. They also make a great cheese platter and have a wonderful selection of affordable wine to go with your meal. This is a must stop every time I go out to wine country and enjoy it every time!
(5)Aeric E.
Great lunch venue in the small town of Carlton. Great atmosphere. Of course there is plenty of wine. Quality sandwiches.
(4)Matt M.
This establishment came highly recommended to us. We missed out on the live music and nightlife at The Horse Radish, unfortunately, but made it for lunch the next day. Its spacious and has a great vibe. We sat in the back and had probably the best veggie sandwich I've ever had in my entire life. The server was brilliant and jumped right in with some recommendations when we were stuck on deciding the last cheese to add to our order. And his recommendation was excellent. He even included a complementary horseradish cheese that was amazing. So to sum it up: excellent ambiance, excellent food, and excellent service. Can't wait to return and experience an evening at The Horse Radish.
(5)Sarah V. M.
We had such a good experience here. Amidst a day of wine tasting we needed a little something-something to go with our next round. We bopped into the Horse Radish and were greeted by stellar service, a variety of meets and cheeses and even half gluten free bread and half regular, to service all members of our party. Next time we'll plan ahead and do a proper meal with wine here.
(5)James B.
very beautiful space for a revamped hardware store. this space embraces the redeveloped vibe of carlton. The lunch is well-executed and the portions are generous. I had the brie and fig appetizer along with the turkey sandwich and I'm still full four hours later.
(4)Adam R.
We were in a hurry, and had about five minutes get some food for the road. The woman who owned the place totally got this and prepared us an excellent cheese plate to go. Five different kinds of cheeses, all different, all well cut, all in a very short period of time. She was great! The place seemed nice, airy and decent, but the service shone through. Cheese was hella good as well.
(5)Griffith G.
This place was amazing! We went for sandwiches after doing some wine tastings at some local wineries. The BLT with Avacado (or blat as I like to call it) was terrific. The best bacon I have had in a long time, and I LOVE bacon! (Bacon makes everything better) My father ordered the Ham and cheese sandwich (with the fig sauce on the side) and loved it! He even tried to the fig sauce and admitted that it was pretty tasty as well! (He is not the most adventurous eater so that was a big step for him!) Very friendly staff, quality ingredients, cute space! If you are in the area and need a place for lunch, this is as good as it gets!
(5)Rebecca B.
Carlton is a cute little town and the Horseradish is a good spot for lunch when you're ready to take a break from wine tasting. I see lots of recommendations to get the ham sandwich and I couldn't agree more. Fig sauce. 'Nuff said. It's superb! My husband got the beef sandwich though and that was also very good. But not as good as the ham sandwich. With fig sauce. But I digress...the roasted red pepper soup was also good. I had a half sandwich and recommend that unless you are really starving as the sandwiches are huge.
(4)Atticus D.
Great service, music (blind pilot) on the box and of course a nice selection of wine. Ask for Ryan.
(4)Margaret M.
This is a great place to put a layer of food down before or after wine tastings in the area! And they also sell a lot of wines too if you want to keep swilling. We had a ham sandwich and a pastrami sandwich that were both excellent - their meats are truly special and we scarfed them down. The waitstaff were incredibly kind and gracious and even brought out some toys for our toddler to play with.
(5)Travis R.
So I was lured here with the promise that the beer I desperately sought was once again stocked. This was not a lie. For the record, its Hirschbräu, doppel-hirsch. That's German for awesome. Last night I again ordered the pastrami, and once again I confirmed it has no equal. The wife ordered the salmon dip as her main entree. On the side she got the evening special of mac & cheese (so decadently good) and a caesar salad. For dessert I believe she ordered the salmon dip. Her love affair with that evil sauce really is an obsession. Last summer we bought a meat and cheese plate for a picnic, and a small container of the salmon dip to go. She accidentally left it in our car overnight. The next day I had to drive back to purchase more just to calm her tears of rage. I can no longer in good conscious hold that 5th star hostage. In fact, this is the only local establishment I would rate a 6th star if it were possible. My addict of a wife raised her fist in the air and still demands they open up later on week days though.

It was a nice day over a long Veterans Day Weekend. I came back from the beach prominently displaying my pink "Peace, Love, Party" sweatshirt. I thought what are the odds that I will run into anyone I know in Carlton. Well, actually, pretty good I guess as I tried to cross my arms in front of my silly shirt and chatted with a couple of people from church. Perhaps, I'm too old for the frivolity of an ironically themed shirt, but I digress here. The Horse Radish is a low key wine bar and has many little spots to sit which remind you somewhat of a living room in some areas and a pub in other areas. The back room has a couple of pool tables if you want to partake in that sort of thing. We started out to sit on a couch and then found some bar stools with a view of the Boise State game in Hi Definition. We ordered a couple of flights of their red wines. They came out with about six glasses and we both tried some of each one of the glasses of various reds and noted the ones that we liked. One of the ones I really liked that day was a Pinot Noir from Biggio Hamina Cellars. The lighting in the bar is a low and the wood dark it makes it a nice place to hang out and sip wine. We had some sandwiches while we were there as well. A huge turkey sandwich on focaccia bread was tasty and helped soak up some of the wine. I'll be back to try it again, it looked like there was some seating out front for nicer weather and the staff was friendly and kept checking back with you. Don't think some of your Portland friends won't be there because they will. Leave the Peace, Love, Party shirt at home.
(4)Cate E.
I wish we had a restaurant like this in my town. Great sandwiches, salads, and awesome soup! Best of all, they have gluten free bread so I could actually have a whole sandwich. Can't say enough good things about this restaurant!
(5)Don B.
Horseradish is a great little wine bar and snackatorium right in the heart of downtown Carlton. It provides a great respite from the ardors of marathon tasting days and a good place to get off your feet and refuel with grub. They also offer plenty of wine if you need to keep drinking after the tasting rooms close at a woefully early 5 or 6pm. Plus they offer live music on some nights, a pool table in the back, and a patio out the back side of the bar. For wines, the focus is mostly local with some offerings from Washington as well. On the food side, think small plates like hummus, olives, almonds, meats, cheeses, etc. The cheese list is actually pretty impressive, with stand out options including the Rogue blues, Humboldt Fog, Cougar Gold, Roaring 40's and more. For meats, a fairly short but sweet collection of soppresata, capicolla and various other cured pork and beef. The service is friendly but laid back, and at least when we visited on a Saturday had some sort of tasting going on at the wine bar itself. The seating consists of tables and some comfy, lounge-y couches. While a day of wine tasting might usually leave me wanting a bit more substantial small-plate offerings (almonds and olives don't soak up much vino), it's better than what most tasting rooms kick out. This is definitely a nice little oasis in a sea of pinot.
(4)Michael C.
The Horse Radish is a very nice although slightly chaotically run restaurant. If they get a bit business confusion seems to rein however they seem to pull it out of the fire in the end. Not surprisingly they have a very good selection of wines. Their food is excellent. We had an artisan platter of meats and cheeses that was fantastic. A brie and smoked salmon sandwich was top flight with fresh bread and smooth creamy brie. The atmosphere is low key and comfortable. They have an outdoor area in the back. Nice spot to eat between drinking at all the surrounding wineries.
(4)John P.
Great lunch spot while touring the local wineries. Baked Brie appetizer is amazing.
(5)William R.
The sandwiches were great and the service was excellent. So why only a 4? They need to see if they can add a bathroom since the line was about 10 minutes long with only one room. The second item was the smoked salmon dip. There is a prize if you could find even a sliver of salmon. It was like salmon flavored cream cheese that was whipped.
(4)david h.
Mama Cass? Ham sandwich. Best ham sandwich ever. Incredible cheese plates. Incredible pate. Insanely good raspberry pie. Great service, atmosphere and beer/wine selection. Would like beer on tap but with food this good who cares.
(5)Steve T.
There's a nice emphasis on quality here. I got a pastrami sandwich to go and everything was nice. Good quality pastrami and bread and the fixings to go with it were all fresh. I also bought a couple samples of cheese to try. They have a good selection.
(4)Joe C.
Great food, employees, music and vino! The Radish is an awesome place to hangout out in while in Carlton. Julie and her crew really take pride in looking after all the little details. I only wish I could get there more than once a month. Cheers!
(5)Martha R.
I just adore this place... they are a cheese and wine bar in the heart of downtown Carlton (okay, Carlton is only a one-block downtown so everything is in the heart). They have a great selection of wines, and a nice little cheese menu with some artisan meats, and some other little goodies to satisfy the tummy while drinking all the great wines. This past weekend, they had Doug and Joy from Anthony Dell wines pouring some of their wines... and they were wonderful - both personality-wise, and wine-wise. The staff there is very knowledgeable, and friendly, and there are a lot of other wine-folks lurking about that you can strike up conversations with. The atmosphere is just fantastic, and the location is great for a little wine-drinking break from all the wine-tasting that you have to do... sometimes it's nice to take a little break from the running around, and be able to drink a full glass, and relax for a few, and this is the place to do it. I just wish that this place was a two-block walk from my house... wait, no I don't - I'd be there all the time spending money that I don't have!
(4)Matt G.
This place is great. Excellent, friendly service. Fantastic food. Great beer and wine selection. And live music. What more do you need? We will absolutely be back.
(5)Sharon M.
Just had lunch today at the Horse Radish in Carlton with my family. The spot was recommend to us by someone at a winery and we thought we would give it a try. The place was very good and I would definitely recommend it for lunch. I had half turkey sandwich and salad. The name itself doesn't do it justice. The turkey was pepper smoked and yummy with avocado. The salad had cranberries, hazelnuts and feta cheese with a creamy vinaigrette dressing. I made all gone. My husband had the brie quiche of the day and my daughter in law had the grilled cheese of the day. A good time was had by all, and service was very good.
(4)Kristy M.
Great wine (and beer!) selection? Check. Nice atmosphere? Check. Delicious cheese and meats? Check check. Amazing dessert? Crap, I didn't get a chance to try any - but the menu was impressive! What's not to like about The Horse Radish? Absolutely nothing! Julie and her staff are super accommodating for groups. I staffed a casual gathering there over the weekend for my university's alumni association. It was our third year meeting there, and I can say with certainty that we'll be back next year. I love The Horse Radish!
(5)Christina T.
Great place to grab lunch or meats/cheeses in between wine tasting along Carlton's downtown tasting rooms. We had the selection of artisinal cheeses and meats, served with baguette and fig jam. We split it and it surprisingly was enough to fill us up so we could continue wine tasting along Main Street. They also had a great selection of local wines. We were able to purchase a bottle of the wine we had, which was nice so we didn't have to seek out that winery. Very laid back and cozy atmosphere and reasonable prices.
(4)Anthony B.
The Horseradish is the perfect pit stop in your tour through wine country. They have lots of cheese, sliced meets, wine, beer, and the option to put peppered or candied bacon on anything. They also have one of my favorite foods: Dipping something delicious into something else that's delicious.
(5)James S.
Just a killer cheese plate. And great atmosphere to boot. A good value by any definition. Try it out if you are ever in Carlton or anywhere nearby.
(4)Katie M.
I've eaten here a handful of times, always get a sandwich and I'm almost always thrilled with it. This last time the bread was a little stale. The music was loud too. Don't go after 6:45 on the weekend if you expect to have a conversation! The staff are always great, and the owner is very charming. My cheese eating friends were impressed with the quality of the cheese.
(4)Hayden N.
Like the decor and the selection of cheese. I had the organic mixed green salad, which had goat cheese, cranberries, and hazelnut with a balsamic vinaigrette. Also tried the tomato bisque. It was tasty, but I feel that I could make it myself and it was a little over priced.
(3)Corrie H.
Yelp rarely steers me wrong, and this was no exception. After a very long afternoon of drinking in wine country, one tends to need food... and maybe a little drinking that occurs while sitting down. We ordered a large meat and cheese plate ($18.00), and while the portion was not mind-blowing, the fun of choosing one's own meat and cheese was. The options were fairly overwhelming, but at last we settled on Truffle Stack cheese (ooooh, yes!), and four other items. Delicious munching ensued. We also ordered a flight of local wines, and it was nice to savor without the imperative to buy, buy, buy when we were done. The place was deadly quiet when we were there (mid-afternoon), but I doubt it's like that at a normal meal time. The server was attentive without being too attentive. Highly recommended.
(4)Charles H.
I dropped in last week for a quick bite, not knowing anything about this restaurant. Ordered a BLT. It turned out to be an amazing surprise. Everything about it was wonderful and it was probably the best BLT I've ever had. The tomatoes were amazingly fresh and sweet, the bacon done perfectly with salad greens a wonderful sauce. The final touch was that it was on toasted focaccia bread. It was served very simply with thick-cut potato chips. This is a great stop for lunch on any tour of Oregon Wine Country.
(5)Andy P.
Fantastic atmosphere in the heart of Oregon wine country. Great cheese selection, strong wine list and happy, engaging owners. Loved the live music the two nights I was there. Also went in for lunch, and the smoked ham with fig jam was stunning. If every town had a Horse Radish, the world would be happier.
(5)Brian D.
Sat down and had a wine tasting at our table, nice meat and cheese selection, bruscetta that was OK, and 2 nice baguettes. Didn't have any hot food or dessert so I can't comment on that. It's in wine country so its not cheap. I would gladly go back and hopefully will get the chance to.
(4)Bill W.
Everything we had tasted so fresh and local. The perfect place for lunch while visiting the wine country.
(5)Slappy L.
The sandwiches are really good.....We were dissapointed with the sad, micro sized $12 cheese/meat plate.
(3)Mike K.
I saw a magazine cover that named Carlton the "Winetasting Capital of Oregon". It's probably right, and Horseradish plays right along with that identity. You can taste a good (not stellar, but good enough for me) selection of wines, get some cheeses/meats to go along with said wines, get a sandwich and soup if you're hungry, watch the game on TV if it's on, or play some pool in the back. As with the rest of Carlton, it's pretty chill, folks are friendly, and I'll definitely be back. Oh and the food is quite good too.
(4)Michelle M.
Great sandwiches but not real fast.
