Great food and great service! Kennedy is THE BEST! Also met Wende who is AWESOME ❤️ 10/10 recommend this place and will return

Very good food.
I got the mushroom Swiss burger and it was delicious.
David was the best server that I have had in years.
Nice place, good food, friendly service.
And the mixed drinks were on point!

Ah, the Half Penny in Salem, Oregon—now there’s a place that gets it right! The food? Unbelievable! I mean, the quality is so good, you’d think they had a team of gourmet chefs back there, whipping up masterpieces.
You want a burger that’ll make you question every other burger you’ve ever had? This is the place.
And don't even get me started on their fries.
Perfectly crispy, just the right amount of salt—it's like they’ve cracked the code to potato perfection. But wait, it gets better.
The staff here? Top-notch.
These folks are so good, they make you feel like royalty.
Every single time I walk in, I’m greeted with smiles and service that’s faster than a New York minute.
And then there’s Kennedy.
Ah, Kennedy! Every time we go, she’s there, making sure everything is just perfect.
She’s like the fairy godmother of great dining experiences.
Attentive, friendly, and just downright amazing.
It’s like she has a sixth sense for when you need a drink refill or an extra napkin. So, if you’re in Salem and you’re hungry for not just food but an experience, get yourself to the Half Penny.
Trust me, you’ll be raving about the quality of the food and the staff, especially Kennedy, just like I am!
