Unique! Phenomenal! That’s Langdon’s Grill. This family-friendly restaurant is situated within the beautiful 175-acre golf course of Langdon Farms. Located just south of Wilsonville, the rural farm-themed setting is a rare find so close to a major metropolitan area. The restaurant features made-to-order American-style cuisine reminiscent of some of your favorite home-cooked meals. Offering a full-service bar and amazing views from both the patio and the dining area, Langdon’s Grill presents a culinary experience like no other.
Sitting on a property that was once a working farm, you can’t miss the Red Barn Clubhouse, which is home to Langdon’s Grill, Bar and Restaurant. The inside seating area is host to a wall of windows which overlook the 18th fairway and a lovely man-made lake. One of the property’s original existing barns can also be seen from the restaurant. In addition to the steady clientele of golfers, dine-in customers come from miles around to enjoy quality casual dining and the country atmosphere offered at Langdon’s Grill. As spring approaches, and in particular when everything is in bloom, General Manager David Stead notes that “you’ll really be looking over a beautiful space, and it’s much more quaint and quiet than other local-area restaurants.” Unlike the familiar business park setting which often sits on a busy main street, Langdon’s Grill is a venue set inside a peaceful and serene golf course. “That’s what sets us apart,” expresses David. “That’s what makes us unique.”
As for the restaurant fare itself, Langdon’s Grill has dedicated many years to developing and promoting its quality casual dining. The chef, Pancho, is a 20-year veteran of Langdon Farms who learned his trade “on the job.” His knowledge and experience complement the venue’s style perfectly. Sharing his expertise with the cook staff, they serve up such favorites as Langdon’s Grill’s phenomenal California Chicken Sandwich, the Friday Special Prime Rib Steak, Prime Rib Dips, and Philly Cheese Steak Sandwiches, as well as Langdon’s Grill’s own Cajun Chicken Mac-and-Cheese. Surprisingly, the most popular dish is the Teriyaki Plate. Patrons see it coming from the kitchen and can’t help but remark how delicious it looks. In addition, a wide variety of “deliciousness” is included throughout the breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus. The full breakfast menu is available Saturdays and Sundays, and a Happy Hour menu is offered seven days a week. Friday and Saturday evenings also have live jazz added to the menu.
The qualities of a venue such as Langdon’s Grill are sure to foster a unique company culture. “Down home, fun, loose but respectful,” are all accolades David Stead attributes to the Langdon’s Grill culture. “We treat you like you’re a part of our family, welcome you into our home with a smile, and call you by name whenever possible.” This culture extends into the community as Langdon Farms Golf Club hosts numerous private events and fundraisers, and in turn, Langdon’s Grill provides all the catering for these special events. Actively supporting around 150 charity-related golf events each year, General Manager David Stead relates, “charity is certainly a core aspect of what we do here.”
Only minutes from home, come and experience Langdon’s Grill’s beautiful and unique farm-themed setting in the midst of this spectacular rural property. “We want you to feel like you’re dining at home on your family farm,” says David, “only we’ll do all the work.”
