McMenamins Chapel Pub

Outside and inside both areas so plenty of room to sit and very chill. So very lovely, food are great prices and size portions are perfect. Happy hour also absolutely nice. Ice cream must try . Customer service is excellent, very friendly and very helpful. Your just welcome in as families and don’t feel as of your just at a place eating is very welcoming.

Jen H. was such an awesome server for our date night tonight. She knew all the ingredients of all food on the line and could recall it easily. It made it so helpful for constructing a dairy free burger. Also, she was very speedy with delivering our food and drinks. The Chapel also has a very cool funky vibe!

We've only been to this location a few times because it's a little out of our way, but I swear it's one of my favorite places in the McMenamins network. It's a quiet little jewel tucked away off a busy street, and the fireplace room is tops. Try the tacos on the starters menu, they are fantastic! And as always, the staff are just the best.

Got roped into a buy-one-get-one burger special on DoorDash. Clicked the button for well done. Only got one of the two burgers and it was rare. The chicken dish was missing the dipping sauce. Called to let them know and the guy seemed like he could care less, hurriedly said sorry you’ll have to deal with DoorDash. Even if that’s the case, no responsibility was taken and I’m still short a burger. Could’ve at least offered to make it right and have us pick up. It’s too bad because I’ve walked past this spot and it looks super cool, but lost a customer. Shame shame

Beautiful atmosphere. Good food, good beverages excellent service. We ate lunch and it was quite. No stress environment. The decore is one of a kind. A wonderful place for a date or even for taking your grandparents to. My mind just wondered from walls to the ceiling and back to the floor just talking it all in. I had the Santa Fe rice bowl and loved every mouthwatering bite.

The Chapel Pub is a great cozy Mcmenamins in North Portland. Nice specials and great drinks. Super friendly service. Lots of space. Nice little nooks with books helping set a great ambiance. Also the lights look like they could open a hidden door if move them. How cool is that? This last trip I had my first pulled pork sandwich and it was tasty. My wife had a Gyro and enjoyed it. My favorite drink is the Blackberry Cider, my wife loves the 5th floor.

Gotta respect one of Portland's original brewpubs. Quieter than most of the newer breweries around town, but fine for families and to have a fairly priced meal. Cleverly repurposed chapel, with organ measurements on Thursdays. Fish and chips are solid.

It seems that the most played Oregon game around is to seek out the next Mcmenamins you’ve never heard of. Portland has more churches converted into bars and restaurants than I’ve ever experienced. Most folks i grew up around would consider this a form of blasphemy but my faith relishes in continued life long after the pews have been abandoned for high tops, barstools, and booths. This place had me dreaming of Ireland and a few times I imagined a leprechaun had lost his rainbow here. The wood work was very nicely finished and there were more rooms and nooks and crannies than I had time to explore. If you like the Grateful Dead, then it’s played nearly every other song, which is fine by me since LoFi has taken over the new generation’s tender foot vibe. Well, this locale has been checked off the list and makes it into the top 5 for the chain’s historically relevant properties. I’ll return one day, some day, but not this week.

The food and drink is the same as every other McMenamins and it's not my favorite. I did really like the vibe of the restaurant and the overall feel of the place. Church pews as seats are just as uncomfortable as in church on Sunday but once your bottom falls asleep you can hardly tell. The stone work is beautiful and so are the many fireplaces they have throughout the building. I'd love to see what it's like on a rainy Portland day in the winter. I can imagine that it would be a great place to pop in, grab a beer, and warm up. The staff was great and handled our larger party well.

We went here for a quick cider. First time at this location. Kinda homey and quaint. They had books right by the booths and board games were available too. It was quite nice. It's located at a busy street. Lots of nearby restaurants. They had a nice patio seating available outside. Street parking only. They had private events rooms available too. I love the shrubbery around this Mcmenamins. Very nice to have a neighborhood walk to this location. They had a wood stove in the back with an area for firewood. It's very nice for winter time.

My favorite pub with its smoky interior and cozy feel. The tater tots enhance the whole experience. Charm oozes from every detail without being overwhelming. It's a great pub with typically good service (and that predictable McMenamins' service curse every 4th or fifth visit). My advice for that lull? Order abound and lower your expectations--it will turn out fine.

One star for McMenamins' mission - I love that they rehab unique spaces and keep them in the community. One star for their drink menu and the cozy vibes in this place. Minus three stars for their truly terrible "service." We sat at a table for 30 minutes, and in that time, a server came by the table and dropped off two menus without a word. No one came by to take an order despite it not being busy and servers walking around the restaurant. It was super weird, and rude. No thanks! In 30 minutes, we went from stoked to have stumbled upon this place to disappointed and confused.

McMenamin's Chapel Pub is also a nice place to stop on your way back to the Airport, especially when there's time and it's a rainy day. It was a little slow on a late Sunday afternoon, and I was easily warmed up with good service, a pint of stout, and a nice half sandwich (grilled tuna) and soup (veggie tortilla). This all made for a most pleasant return visit.

We used to go to a McMenamins at least twice a week sometimes more. It was our favorite place to just grab some amazing fresh cut fries and a beer if we were meeting up after errands or such. But in the past 5 or so years (pre pandemic even) we just started getting less good service and subpar food for higher prices. We actually almost stopped going. Then the other night we were in the mood for the old feeling of sitting at a McMenamins and decided to visit the Chapel Pub. First disappointment was at 6:00 in the evening being out of sourdough bread. So two of my choices were off the table as they just don't translate the same on wheat bread. Then the fries came!! What in the world happened to McMenamins famous fries! We were served fries that looked straight from a Sysco truck. For this you charge $10.50 for a small side! Come on guys! Our food was less than enjoyable and for a company that keeps opening new places, seems maybe they need to slow down on expansion and go back to caring about food quality. My husband's exact words after paying the bill were "I don't need to go to a McMenamins again". Thats pretty sad from a guy that asked me to meet him there sometimes 4 times a week. I guess some times you just can't go home again. I'm only giving 2 stars because our server was sweet as pie. And beer seemed same as always.

Walked in and the sign said to go to the other end of the restaurant to be seated. There wasn't a host. So we kinda roamed until the bartender was done taking a Igor order. He immediately sat us and was very pleasant. Kids ordered scooby snacks which were mini corn dogs. Food came out burnt. Mcmenamins fries - large portion. Fries were a little soggy. But they came out nice and hot. Vera cruz cod tacos - excellent! Sauce was spicy but it was just right for my taste. Apple cider draft - good smooth taste Whisky barrel terminator ale - nice dark beer. Great taste

we returned to the chapel pub for lunch today after walking over from nearby.......we sat on the back patio.....i had a ruby, and my partner had a rubinator....next, i had the dill tuna, sub salad, and she had the communication breakdown with veggie patty, sub salad.....we love coming here with the beautiful gardens surrounding the building...i've been coming here since they opened yrs ago after killingsworth little chapel of the chimes closed...kailey was the staff person, and she was fabulous...she was so friendly and quick....other folks began to come for lunch sitting out on the patio too....the drink/food was delicious, and we felt so relaxed after a tough wk....thx so much!

I like the layout of this pub, and its multiple wings filled with booths and tables, branching off the former nave, where they have sacriligeously placed the bar. Yep. Dead center. We're all going to Hell, now. Thanks, guys! If we're lucky, maybe we'll be too drunk to notice? Haha! Due to the pouring rain and mid-November chill outside, they had the furnace going full-tilt, as well as the fireplace(s?), because it was as hot as Hell inside, too! Didn't help that we sat at a booth only 10 feet from that black iron crucible. Luckily, my Moscow Mules kept the infernal heat at bay, while spending a few hours writing and engrossed in my work. My wife and I split a hummus plate near the end, which has all the usual offenders, is expectedly delicious, and just right for the price. Despite working up a sweat (we could have moved, but we liked it), this may be my favorite of all the McMenamins pubs (excluding hotels). The atmosphere is warm (have I driven that point home yet?!), cozy, quiet and relaxing. A great place to read, study or just chill; a welcome alternative to the frantic fervor of a coffee shop or sports bar. The next time I need to get some work done, and need a little buzz to keep the creative juices flowing, this is where you'll find me.

Interesting McMenamins location... that's for sure! The chapel architecture is very unique and offers something a bit more memorable dining experience for atmosphere and location. As usual the food is solid. One great thing I can always say is that each McMenamins location I go to the food is consistent across the board. The stop here as far as ordering goes was very light. I just ordered a cup of soup. I had a good seafood chowder while Steve had a salad. As usual we are on a quest to get stamps for our passport and we did indeed get it. Despite having very simple orders from us and the place not being very busy service was very slow. I'm not too sure what was going on there.

Our 6th McMenamins stop in a week (we're working through our passport) and by far the WORST! For the 1st time in my life, I left zero tip. It was deserved. After ordering drinks and food, we were abandoned. Cook or some other wait staff brought the food (late and the buns on both burger and sandwich were burned). Asked for a second round of drinks at that time and they never came. Another employee stopped by to change out menus and said, I think she's bringing your drinks right now. Still nothing. Our food is done, we are ready to go. I checked myself out at the bar. Missed opportunity Chapel Pub, if it had been busy, this attitude would be understandable. But there were only three tables occupied in the whole place. We were enjoying the fire and would have had more beverages, were even planning on a distillery flight. Purple/lilac haired waitress, do better to earn your tips.

I eat at McMenimans a lot. My favorite Salad is the Aztec salad with grilled chicken, which is organic. Thank you for making it organic! Love the service here and is right across the street from where I work at PCC. They always have a Porter that like, and they always are friendly. This location in particular is quiet frequently and so the service is usually quick.

Always a delicious meal at McMenamins. This was our first time at this particular location. We had a sandwich, which was delicious, but I must say the Terminator soup was spectacular.

Parking: own parking lot Atmosphere: stunning (nice wood fire place) Seating: around the bar or tables Reservation: not sure (we didn't have one) Drinks: very good selection Food: yes, but we didn't eat there Price: average Staff: friendly (average) Very nice location with a good selection of crafted beers. We have been there in the afternoon after lunch and it is more quiet, can't judge the atmosphere for evening hours. This location doesn't have a pool table.

We have been here for over two hours. Ordered food an hour and 15 minutes ago and still have no food. The server is extremely unfriendly. We brought people from out of town and are extremely embarrassed. We have had to ask for water several times and when it was brought to our table of 11, the server basically dropped the pitchers at the end of the table and walked away. This is unacceptable service and we will not return again. Very disappointing for a Mcmenamins.

Definitely one of the smaller/quieter McMenamins, but still a cool vibe as always. Bar tenders are nice and are always really great at making you anything you could want. Lots of street parking right out front.

Visited the area and this was walking distance from the event. Inside is a little dark but it is fitting for the building ... loved the antique feel of the place. Service was amazing and she followed up often to make sure we had everything we needed. The bacon cheeseburger was cooked perfectly and seasoned just right ... the tots were way better than the fries! The Portland Dip was fantastic ... sautéed mushrooms, Swiss cheese, and deli turkey with au jus dip. Lots of room inside that it felt as if we were the only customers. Will have to check out some of the other chain sites.

01-31-2020 Update Bumping up to three stars from the initial one star as the manager has reached out and want to make things right. Things do happen that is not under the control of the establishment. Understandable. Would still want to dine there for the experience; time allowing since it is quite the drive from across the bridge to the North. As an added note, The server did apologize and was very nice about us leaving on our first visit. He was just really so busy. Original Review This is not a review of the food since we didn't have any. As soon as we walked in, the vibe was different. We seated ourselves as the sign near the door stated and waited around 20-25 minutes before being asked for our orders. The waiter arrived at our table just as we were standing up to leave. We had considered them for a graduation party once but definitely after that experience probably taking them off the list for the future.

Stopped in for Happy Hour! Got two ciders and the black bean dip. Everything was yummy and the vibe was chill. Would definitely come back again :)

A review in 21 syllables: This pub is so sweet You would never believe that It used to host wakes

It's kinda surreal how similar all McMenamins locations actually are. They're all dark inside; sunlight fighting to eek in though the tiny windows, dark, old furniture, kitsch throwback weirdness all over the walls ("history", as one review called it), carpets smelly with generations of whatever the heck the building used to be. Despite that, I can rely on each location to provide me with cajun tots and tasty beers. So. Thanks for the continuity. I think.

McMenamins does it right-again-at this location. They have the smallest detail taken care of. Ordered clam chowder and scooby snacks and they were delicious, as usual. I will be back for more, if not at this location then another McMenamins. Thank you guys.

McMenamin's is so great for ambience, but really has crummy food . Tonight , I ordered off the happy hour menu. The food was something I might throw together on a really busy night when I have not grocery shopped. The caesar salad was straight from a Costco bag. The veggie sliders were frozen garden burgers , which would be ok except they were SO DRY. I couldn't take more than a bite . A little dollop of hummus was the only thing to break up the dryness and that was not much of a help. Both meat burgers ordered by my party were over cooked . Service is good, everyone here is really nice.

Location #2 for the McMenamin's Passport, was able to get the location stamp and the beer flight stamp. Last week I decided to finally break down and buy the McMenamin's passport, and this location was my first outside of Kennedy School (which I've already reviewed.) I went during a Friday afternoon, and it was super easy and quick to get service. The location is beautiful, just like most McMenamin's locations, and this one used to be an old church. There is an outside patio which is nice and shady for hot summer days, and a cool dark interior if you want out of the light. All the beers I sampled were good; I preferred the more adventurous seasonal beers over their standby's, but you also can't beat a classic Ruby or Terminator (or if you're really adventurous, you can get a Rubinator.) If I was still a student at PCC I'd come back here more often; otherwise, I'd save it for happy hour as their regular food tends to be a bit pricey for the quality. If you want food though, I recommend the cajun tots.

I don't know what happened to this place but the service is nonexistent. We waited 20 minutes for someone to take our order, and when we did order, our food hadn't come out after an hour and a half. Our drinks were never delivered. We ended up leaving after sitting at a bare table for almost 2 hours. We noticed as we walked out that none of the tables had been bused -- I don't know if they're having staffing issues or what, but it was a weird, unpleasant experience.

Delicious first bites until you realize there is WAY too much salt. Like hurts your tongue and you can't finish your plate. With the cheese fondue, my tongue couldn't even find the taste of cheese, it was like hot salty glue. The tacos were nice though. But everything else has twice as much salt as it should and there didn't seem to be even a little bit of Cajun flavour to the tots. Drinks are good, staff is lovely, nice vibe though.

I live 2 blocks away. I eat and drink here often. Friendly staff, good food. Excellent happy hour food & drinks. 2 georgous outdoor patios with a fire pit & heaters. A Huge indoor fireplace and a very warm wood stove, too. Recommend!

Along with the theme that McMenamins seems to stick to, converting cool, old buildings into pubs, they did it again, this time with a chapel, hence its name. The inside is small and still has the same atone for your sins feel about it. I'm not sure if I would've really enjoyed drinking in there to be honest as it also felt a bit stuffy, luckily enough there was a large table outside in their garden and that was a lovely experience. I had a seasonal cider which honestly wasn't the best as well as some pear brandy which was strong and quite tasty. Overall this was a very nice afternoon out at a very lovely place.

I am giving my first experience at Chapel only 3 stars. The ingredients of my salad were fresh and the dressing was tasty. The server was very cool.....McMenamins always has great people working! However, my dinner salad was too small. I was expecting a little bit more for the 10 plus bucks I paid. Even my roommate picked up the box and said it felt empty. I just finished my salad and I'm still hungry.... :(

I understand there's a shortage on labor and various ingredients these days, but to serve Vienna sausage and call it corn dogs and to not inform your guests about substitutions they make is just bad service all together. McMenamins overall seems to be on a downward trend when it comes to quality of service and food lately. The one star I'm giving this review is for the pretty good fresh hop IPA they have on tap now.

This is one of my favorite McMenamins. Most likely it's because of the history behind it (you'll have to visit it and learn more). There's a small parking lot yet I have never had a problem getting parking. Fresh Oranges and Fresh Grapefruit! Yep, if you order a screwdriver or greyhound, they squeeze the juice right there. It really makes a difference in the drink. Yum! It's nice to come on a cold day because of the warm fireplace. Perfect for keeping your feet warm. One star off for mediocre service. I had to wait a lot and it wasn't that busy. x.xviii.xii

This was actually my first McMenamins experience, so I'm a little bummed it turned out this way. I went here before a show with my friends the other night. We ordered drinks and hummus. The bar was very empty and therefore our food was brought out in no time. However, there was a raging fruit fly problem that started as soon as the plate was sat on our table. We spent the entire time swatting away and killing bugs. Despite being so empty, it took 15 minutes to bring out my friends drink, but the waitress said mine was still being made. After another 15 minutes, we finally just went up to the bar to grab it ourselves.. it turned out she had gotten my order wrong too, and I ended up with a weak $10 drink that tasted like sour cucumbers. I didn't want to wait any longer, so we quickly had our drinks and got out of there ASAP. I was really hoping for a better experience than this.

This location is rad. Looks old, they have an Organ that I remember our waitress saying they have someone play about once a week(?) something like Wednesdays or something (can't remember). Across from a HS and close to PCC. Pretty chill place when I went there and the employees were nice, always a plus. I know people think mcmenanmins isn't that great generally but I like them. Generally their happy hour does it for me. Never fails with the HH Cajun tots and usually a slice of pepperoni pizza with a pint gets the job done. For two, generally about 20 bucks.

I absolutely loved McMenamins Chapel Pub! We came here based on a suggestion from a friend and I'm really glad we stopped here for lunch on my way out of town as it was the perfect end to a good trip. The ambiance and decor were probably my favorite aspects. The outside seating area looked beautiful and would probably be a great place to sit had it not been raining. The area we sat in had a really cool fireplace so we still got to enjoy a nice atmosphere. I ordered the Brewery Taster and was pleasantly surprised. The size is certainly worth the $8. I also ordered the Mac & Cheese. Among the other dishes ordered at our table were the Smokestack Lightning mac & cheese, two Flame-Grilled Burgers and an order of Tater Tots. Both bowls of mac & cheese contained generous portions and I ended up liking the Smokestack better. I'm not sure why but the tater tots were incredible, I couldn't stop eating them! I'll definitely have to stop by again next time I'm in the Portland area.

Since Chapel Pub is within walking distance of my home, I've been here a handful of times. Prior to tonight, I would have given it an "ok" rating. Tonight was not the case. I could clearly see they were understaffed as there was a track meet going on at the high school across the street (bringing in more foot traffic than normal). People kept coming in and asked to sit outside ... when they weren't staffed up enough. They should have told the customers that eating outside was fine but that they would need to come in to order. Service lacked HARDCORE today. I saw a kid come up to ask if he and his family could just get some waters (and they had been there for awhile). I got my drink right away but not a single ask if I even wanted food. I had to ask the waiter to order some food. Food arrived about 20 mins later ... drink was empty ... and not a single person asking if I needed anything else. This isn't the part that frustrated me. I sat there by myself for over 20 minutes trying to get someone's attention .... a) to get an updated tab so I could pay and b) to share that my order (the sandwich) was INSANELY greasy! I literally took 2 bites of the sandwich and had a few fries! When I finally got someone's attention, I shared that my drink had been empty, that I was trying to get someone's attention and that my food was awful. All I got was a "sorry about that" without any offer to take a bit off of my tab. I paid a full tab for 1 drink and 3 bites of food! Terrible!

EDIT: I originally gave them 1 star and wrote this "I just went here on a Sunday at 4:15 PM with my husband and son and were served by a younger blonde bartender/waitress. She couldn't be bothered to smile, or be personal in anyway shape or form. We chose not to order food and leave after one drink because the service was so horrible and she was rude. Get a better bar staff and maybe we might come back in the next decade." After receiving a very professional and polite response from their management I am changing it to 3 stars. I am still very disappointed with the service that day, but I would try it again (with a different server).

Charming jewel. When u walk in you're greeted by a warm and cozy room with a huge old school fire pit.. love it The place has a bit of a musky smell but it's a lod place so it is what it is. Still love.it... as you continue to walk thru to the bar area, you're fascinated with more charm, the low light ambiance charm. I'm headed to a ladies brunch across the street but gheez I'm coming back here and bring the fam and friends. Oh and the barten arw friendly which is always a Plus in my book...

I am a tripster. This is not my favorite McMenamins, but is it close to home. The service is generally pretty darn good because this place is never that busy. The food is McMenamins general menu. We did show up with a group of about a dozen people and took over the bar. The tenders where fantastic, patient and super friendly. We ended up having a super great time. The outside seating area is nice - and dog friendly. This location is kinda odd, until recently it was funeral home and some of the local neighbors had their loved ones memorials and funerals here. Maybe that is why it is not that busy...

Wait for our food was a little long, however nothing crazy. I've worked in food service for years so i understood the wait times; considering there looked to be two servers for the whole place (including the bar. they did everything). Overall had a nice time and would definitely visit again the next time I am in Portland.

This review is not about the food. I never had the chance to try their food because we had to leave. First time here. Although the reviews weren't too good we wanted to try anyways because of the history and personality of this establishment. This is a" seat yourself" place so we did. We didn't see any staff around except for the bartender that avoided eye contact. It was ok probably busy mixing drinks. Not a big deal. Here's the bottom line. After 20 minutes of waiting no one has taken our order. The tables before us were still waiting for their food to come out. We can't wait any longer. As we were leaving the waiter apologized and said that they were really busy. It looked pretty average to me. It was on a Wednesday evening. There were empty tables. The place must be understaffed. I'm generously giving 3 stars because the guy that came was sincerely apologetic. Not sure if I'll comeback.

Attempted to do a pick up order and they cancelled 5 minutes before the scheduled pick up time. 5 minutes!! You had over 20 min to cancel. People are on their way to pick up their order and luckily I live nearby but it's still not okay. Gave my money to another bar.

I've been here a few times, the service is very hit and Miss, the food / drinks are up to the typical McMenamins standards, middle of the road, average brewery food & drinks. Unfortunately I've experienced mixed levels of service at this location. Sat on the patio with not many tables, but waited a long time between seeing a server. I understand COVID has dramatically reduced everyone's work capacity, but I Sat waiting for 20min to check out... My experience was also hindered this time by another party taking the closest table next to me, when a lot of the patio was open. Not very courteous.

This is a charming and cozy spot, especially when the fireplace is burning. They have a nice selection of McMenamins beers, wines, and spirits to go along with the typical food menu. Tasty desserts and friendly service. The outdoor area looks charming but we have yet to spend time out there. I LOVE THE THURSDAY NIGHT ORGAN CONCERTS!!! Pick a song, any song (from the HUGE list) and the organist will play it.

Better than most mcmenamins! They had a few menu items that my vegan wife could enjoy! White bean soup was dang tasty. Gold standard tots as always. Very good servers for our group of 19 including kids. Cozy space with raging wood furnace. I can't believe I haven't been to his one before but I like it quite well.

Very unique building as are most of the McMenamins locations (minus the strip mall locations). Great artwork and painting as well. We have stopped in here a few times since completing our passports when we have been in the area. The menu has some great sandwiches that we are not privy to in Salem along with some other creative cocktails. Def worth the stop.

Small but quant. Friendly staff. Love the old organ. Great advice. Weird that this was an old mortuary and wedding chapel.

The service here is so slow. It is unworkable slow. The servers pace, one might say, is statuesque. This is routine. This is normal. This is now expected. I mean to say by others. We will no longer go there. There are never enough servers. It is the managers fault or the business fault. There are never enough. They run a skeleton crew. And the servers are also the cooks. And then they are also the bartender. What kind of plan is that. It really is the business's poor design. Once the food does arrive it is entirely and completely only average. How could it be better when the sever is the bartender and the cook and running behind on everything? It can't. The food cannot be any better. To be fair to this location, all of the food at all of the locations of this business is merely average. Portland has a hundred amazing restaurants, go to any of them instead of here.

How have I ever skipped penning this review? I was a resident, living in Piedmont when the Chapel of the Chimes was converted into another brilliant McMenamins endeavor. Like the interior much.... the features preserved and accentuated, fun to roam and enjoy. The outdoor garden, a treat. Enter from two sides in. Coming to the Hotel Oregon location in McMinnville has spawned my interest to check whether I ever reviewed my erstwhile neighboring McM joint. Same food.. never terrible. never great. always sits midle-of-road for me. The charm is in the buildings! Oh.. and the happy hour prices/food to

I would prefer to have given a 3 1/2 star as a compromise between my wife's experience and mine. We arrived before 5pm as part of a group that eventually counted to 13. The first thing I heard from the bartender was that they didn't have anyone coming in until after five. Really, on a Saturday? We sat for 15 minutes before the apologetic and helpful bartender came in and got us started. Service was excellent and that is the main reason for my 4 star review. My neon burger was ordered cooked "medium" but see the photo, that looks rare. I've ordered the neon burger many times in the past at other McMenamins but this one was lacking in the blue cheese that usually runs down and all over while being eaten. As for the bacon, barely noticeable. Drinks and tater tots were great. However the order of falafel bites server across the table from me looked like mini dark brown brownies and tasted (yes I had two of them) way over cooked and on the edge of being burnt. They were awful and the woman who ordered them didn't eat even half. Again, service was excellent and the atmosphere of this McMenamins is really fun and interesting. But they were under staffed and food was either under cooked or nearly burnt. Will we be back? Yes, but I have hopes of better results out of the kitchen.
