The Galice Store - Merlin

Great Service with okay food. This place is amazing for rafting, ribs, and especially ice-cream. The soft serve is great here and you don't need to be rafting to visit here. It is a great place to stop and eat before getting on the river again.

We went for a ride out Galice Road since we're new to the area. I'd heard that the burgers at the Galice resort were excellent. I have to agree! I was pleasantly surprised to find out they had a grass fed burger. I had the classic burger with lettuce, tomato,!onion and special sauce. It was delicious and you can taste the quality. It came with an actual dill pickle spear, not soggy vinegar pickle chips.We asked for well done french fries which they were and they were also delicious! I could not finish all of mine. They have a lovely deck overlooking the river. This will be my go to burger place when the resort is open. Our server Renee was also excellent. She was the only server and handled all of the tables by herself and did a great job. Thank you Renee!

I used to look forward to getting breakfast at Galice Resort before a Wild Scenic Rogue River launch or when we were in the area doing day trips above the Wild Scenic section. I looked forward to an Ortega Chile Omelet before each trip. I even have one of my fondest memories there. We did a little day trip from Ennis to Grave Creek. As we passed Galice, we pulled our boats ashore and walked in to the bar for a refreshment. That was fun. Recently; however, their customer service and the quality of their food had really taken a dive. I suppose this could change, but until I hear verified reports, I won 't go back in there. I don 't even want to go in to buy a beer. Wait staff have been surly if/when they actually come to the table. Last time we were there for breakfast, I had never seen such a small portion of home fries anywhere, and they were way over-salted. The resort also operates a shuttle service. BEWARE! Chances are that they will get your vehicle to Foster Bar, and it 's probably most likely it won 't be damaged. Last time I use their shuttle service, the driver broke my trailer, left it by the side of the dirt road (that 's what the note said; didn 't even say WHICH dirt road). I was able to find the trailer, and with some help the next day, get it back on the road. I called the resort to find out what dirt road my trailer was on, but they had no idea and couldn 't tell me. There never even was an apology. Since that time, I 've heard many horror stories about their shuttle service. One that sticks in my memory is from a buddy who got to Foster Bar and his truck was nowhere to be found. He called, and they said, Oh, that 's what these keys are for. They forgot to shuttle his vehicle. They offered to bring it over, but it would be several hours. My buddy was able to stack his raft and gear on another boat/trailer and drive back to Galice. I 'm sure they would have preferred to just head out through Powers, but they had to go get the rig. The Galice Resort never offered an apology, and they declined to refund his money EVEN THOUGH THEY NEVER SHUTTLED HIS RIG!!!! Um.... That 's why you should pay with a credit card; he was able to dispute the charge and get the card company to credit his account. AVOID AVOID AVOID! So why don 't I just give ONE star? Good question. I don 't have a decent answer. Maybe it 's just since they used to have better service, and I 'll hold out hope they can get their shit together at some point in the future. For now... me thinks NOT!

I stayed at Galice resort in the lodge after a guided rafting and kayaking trip on the Rogue river. It was quiet, clean, and comfortable but not luxurious. I would stay there again. My one complaint is that the WiFi wasn't working when I was there, so don't count on having WiFi.

I've been eating, drinking, music listening, rafting and fishing at Galice for more than 30 years and it just keeps getting better. They make everyone feel like family.
