There’s gravy, too, of course, and a small cup of cranberry relish.

"It's Thanksgiving every day at Huber's, where turkey dinner is the menu's main attraction. Note the pool of butter in the mountain of mashed potatoes: mmm-mmm, good!"

Michael Stern

"Walls are decorated with memorabilia documenting 120+ years of restaurant history. This picture shows Oregon native James Beard seated at a Huber's table in 1959."

"Huber's hasn't always been in this location, but the old tavern on S.W. 3rd has a fine patina of age."
