The food there is pretty good, and the prices are very inexpensive... especially for adult beverages. They also have two pool tables and a bunch of televisions playing different types of shows.I went again for my favorite thing that they make there, it isn't on the menu, but it's called Tofu Chow Funhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/eatsalem/~3/Iz___ogLzrw/lucky-fortune-restaurant-lounge.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jia)3<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/eatsalem/~4/Iz___ogLzrw" height="1" width="1"/>http://eatsalem.com/2012/01/lucky-fortune-restaurant-lounge.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343315702330953744.post-6132722493831956219Sun, 01 Jan 2012 02:45:00 +00002012-01-01T16:20:30.388-08:00steakindependenceRagin' River Steak CompanyThe historic main street in Independence, Oregon has always charmed me; in the six years I've lived in these parts, it's changed, grown, and from my eyes improved with renovations and the like.

I ordered the Aunt Jenny's Mushroom Burger, medium, and the iceberg wedge salad. The burger was flavorful, but it was well done and a little dry for my taste. The mushrooms were thick-sliced and fresh though. My iceberg salad was huge, but it barely had bacon on it.
