A quick lunch outing turned into a worthwhile discovery this week at Dutcher Creek Golf Course, where a familiar local name is trying something new just in time for the summer season.
Scoops and More, already well known to many residents for its location along Rogue River Highway, has introduced a new food truck now stationed at the golf course. The move brings their menu directly to golfers and visitors looking for a convenient and satisfying meal while spending time outdoors.
According to the owners, the food truck will operate Friday through Sunday throughout the summer months. In addition to its regular presence at the course, the team plans to take the truck to other locations, encouraging customers to follow their social media for updates on future stops.
During a recent visit, I opted for the fish sandwich, a straightforward choice that delivered more than expected.
The sandwich features beer-battered cod fried to a crisp golden finish and served on a toasted brioche bun with cheddar cheese, fresh lettuce, and tartar sauce. While the ingredients are simple, the execution stands out. The fish was cooked just right, with a light, crunchy exterior and a tender interior that held its texture without becoming greasy. The brioche bun added a subtle sweetness that balanced the savory flavors without overpowering them.
No fish sandwich is complete without a side, and the fries held their own. Served hot and crisp, they paired well with a house-made fry sauce that adds a familiar regional touch. The flavor carries a nostalgic note reminiscent of the classic fry sauces many in the Pacific Northwest grew up with, offering a small but meaningful connection to local food traditions.
Beyond the meal itself, the addition of a food truck represents a notable step for a small business already rooted in the community. Expanding into a mobile format allows Scoops and More to reach new customers while maintaining the quality and consistency that helped establish its reputation. It also adds another local option in a setting that benefits from accessible, casual dining.
Dutcher Creek Golf Course, particularly during the warmer months, draws a steady flow of visitors, making it a fitting location for this kind of venture. The presence of a local food truck enhances the experience, giving people a reason to linger a little longer after a round or stop in even if they are not there to golf.
For those passing through the area this summer, the food truck offers a convenient and well-executed option that reflects the kind of small-scale entrepreneurship helping shape Southern Oregon’s food scene. If the fish sandwich is any indication, Scoops and More’s latest venture is off to a strong start and is likely to attract both loyal customers and new faces in the months ahead.
