Disappointing Experience at Everybody’s Brewing at Northwood, Battleground Location
We’ve always loved Everybody’s Brewing in White Salmon, WA – it’s one of our favorite spots with its warm, welcoming atmosphere and delicious food. So when we heard they opened a new location in Battleground, WA (which is much closer to us), we were excited to check it out. Unfortunately, our recent visit was a huge disappointment.
From the moment we walked in, it was clear this location wasn’t up to the standards of their White Salmon counterpart. The ambiance was off, with leftover decor from previous businesses still cluttering the space. It gave the place an unfinished, neglected feel. The staff, though friendly, seemed rushed and stressed, and the addition of a live band playing right in the middle of the dining room made conversation nearly impossible. It was loud, chaotic, and not the relaxing experience we were hoping for.
As for the food, we were let down again. At the White Salmon location, the dishes always taste fresh and locally sourced, but the food at Battleground felt bland and mass-produced. We ordered two “Big German Pretzels,” which looked nothing like we expected. When I asked the waitress if that was how they were supposed to look, she confirmed that they were and added they're handmade, but they looked and tasted like something straight out of a Sysco Foodservice bag. Every dish we had was completely lacking the freshness and quality we’ve come to love at the White Salmon spot.
We’re really sad about this, as we had high hopes for the Battleground location. Unless they overhaul the space, refresh the decor, and bring the same level of hospitality and quality food that makes the White Salmon location so special, we can’t see this location surviving in the long run.
We still highly recommend the White Salmon location for anyone looking for a great dining experience. Sadly, we won't be returning to the Battleground one anytime soon. Hopefully, they can make some serious changes, but for now, it’s a big miss.
