Does Oregon's Oldest Restaurant Still Serve Free Turkey Sandwiches?

Huber’s Cafe no longer gives out free turkey sandwiches with every drink purchase but they do have a popular Thanksgiving dinner. We have no idea where they get all of these turkeys but wow, do they do whip up big Turkey Dinners every year! A huge roast turkey is also available as one of their house specialties.
