McMenamins Hillsdale Brewery & Public House

A charming and welcoming atmosphere with delicious food. The location is great with a nice large patio we'll definitely be back to enjoy. Ou server was friendly and the service was prompt. We had the Portland Dip and the Patty Melt and both were fantastic. I highly recommend the tots (truffle is the best!). Scooby snacks are always a great starter, especially with the Portland mustard. I have also had the gyro, burger, and Ruby Ale at other locations and also enjoyed those items. Our server was also kind enough to make me a raspberry milkshake to go. Thank you for a great lunch!

Only just discovered this location (new to the neighborhood), so only been a few times so far. Each time we've tried something new and have not been disappointed yet. The food has been made fresh and hot every time. Menu is small but has a good variety. Beers have been great. Service has been wonderful every time. Looking forward to becoming a regular.

Nice restaurant, serving McMenamins craft beer, seltzer and wine. It's just one room, space so maybe not as magical as some McMenamins locations. I enjoyed a flight and a pint. Friendly staff.

I popped in for a quick lunch on a Saturday. The server was attentive and friendly. The food selection was typical Mcmenamins fare. The fish and chips were a bit over fried. The rootbeer was cold and delicious as expected. The patio was dog friendly.

This was a last-minute lunch pick, and it was a great decision! We had a Fireside Roasted Turkey sandwich with Cajun Tots and an Aztec Salad with an IPA.

Tasty burgers and brew! The Hillsdale location has a smaller, community feel, consistently great service and a cozy atmosphere. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating area. We’ve been to plenty of McMennamins, large and small, and this one is a winner.

Considering how understaffed restaurants currently are, I'd say they're holding up ok. We had no wait getting a table, the wait staff were great, even with the long wait for orders to appear - we assumed that the big sign outside offering a hefty bonus to whomever fills the cook's job was the reason, and so won't complain about that. The food was fine (fish tacos & burgers) and patrons few enough that it felt safe during our visit. Thanks for hanging tough everyone!

Food was good, and our waiter was super nice! We even had an amazing dessert.

Overall a standard McMenamins. No complaints at all. Was even impressed with the service as most McMenamins it's a struggle for good waitstaff. Food was great, beer was cold. AC was blasting (some might want to bring a sweatshirt), and the mood was calm. All in all, would drop back in when coming back from OHSU.

Good service, cool atmosphere. Happy hour changed, now ends at 5, but still says 6 on website. $13.50 for 7 overcooked onion rings.

Charming little spot (emphasis on little) but the service was top notch and I loved the atmosphere. Food and drinks were standard McMenamins fare.

Be careful with the bartender at this joint. She will charge you for an extra drink you didn't order, then gaslight you with a fresh face that you did. After more than 20 years...I won't be spending my money here anymore....especially not with dishonest or confused bartender like this.

Service was great, we had the nicest server. Supper attentive and pleasant. The day was perfect for outdoor dinning and this location has a cool little outside patio. Food is always meh, and with the rising prices knowing what to expect when you go to any of these McMenamins kind of helps your expectations. Cajun tots are always a must! Great variety of fun cocktails, beers, ciders and seasonal desserts keeps us coming back for more. Not to mention we are passport members trying to get those stamps and fill up our passports.

Swung by for happy hour. Medium sized interior with a covered patio to be used in the summertime. Right near lots of other shops, conveniently located. Out of all the McMenamins: this place rates right in the middle. It's not a hotel or otherwise special property. Classic McMenamins experience. Our server was lovely and service was quick at 5pm on a Friday, which certainly cant be said about all locations. We stuck to the happy hour menu and I ordered my favorite drink: the Bourbon furnace. This particular location closed out my passport page so I walked away happy with my prize. Out of all places in the area in general: great local pub offering with attentive staff and wide selection of beer, cider, wine and cocktails-- many made with their own alcohol. Classic burgers and yummy apps.

It took over 2 1/2 hours to get our food served. We only got 1 update from our server who said food in ten minutes but took another 30 minute's. Another couple came in after us and were served and finished their meal before we got our food. The restaurant was not very busy so not sure why it took so long. Recommend you only go to this restaurant if you have no plans to get a meal in a reasonable amount of tim.

I first visited this place in 2010 where I was delighted with a great bison burger served steaming hot! Those days are long gone but here's the thing, I ordered a large burger with mushrooms and it was pretty decent! Substandard frozen fries and a horrible facsimile of what was called coleslaw which immediately raised a white flag and surrendered to my scorn!

David and I returned to the Hillsdale Brewery after a multiple-year absence. That's mostly because this McMenamin's is the closest to David's home and we usually like to try other further out places within this regional chain. When we were here last Thursday, the Hillsdale Brewery was the within walking distance consolation, as nearby Sasquatch was closed for Lunch. And there was a bonus stop at Baker & Spice on the way. We chose a nice booth in the corner and were well served by our wait person. I ordered a Kringle Christmas Ale and their tomato bisque soup. I should have ordered a half turkey sandwich with that, but instead I opted for the full version, which was just too much food. My Son went for the Dungeon Burger and Cajun Tots which is devoured. And surprisingly he turned down what was left of my sandwich. It was a fun outing, even though a dark restaurant on a dark day made for a somewhat dreary atmosphere. But then, this is Portland.

Standard McMenamins experience: Good location, cool building, comfy atmosphere, good service, and ok beer. The food is always about what you could make at home with standard grocery store ingredients. Better than fast food, but not what you want for restaurant prices. These two fish sticks cost over $20.

What to say? Its a McMenamins. You know what you're going to get. At least the service is better than it used to be.

My husband and I went there tonight, it was our ten year anniversary of our first date and it was here. Their food is always solid, same with tonight. The reason for my review is the service, our server was incredible. We were simple guests but after 11 years in the industry myself I can spot an excellent server and she was it. She had short blonde hair, wish I got her name to give her proper shout out, but if you're out there, thank you!

As most folks in the PNW know, McMenamins restaurants are some of the best! Each one has a unique sense of style and character. Out of all of the ones I've visited, the Hillsdale McMenamins is my favorite! Today, we sat outside on the patio to enjoy their happy hour specials on a sunny day. We started off with a bloody mary and their oaks lily cocktail, which was one of their seasonal specials. My partner had the tavern salad, which was made with fresh ingredients and topped with grilled chicken for only a few dollars extra. I enjoyed the Tres Tacos for the super low price of $5 (happy hour discount!). We split a bowl of cajun tots because that's always a must! If you've never been to McMenamins, the tots are a staple and you're missing out on one of life's greatest pleasures. In addition to the consistently high quality dishes and drinks, the service here is always phenomenal! We've been served by Summer multiple times and she is always so warm & welcoming. Highly recommend paying this location a visit as we approach summertime!

The burgers are great. The service is not. It's so hot or miss here I stopped coming. I tried emailing online about my last experience but no one ever got back to me so I guess I'll write it all here! I was served caffeinated tea after specifically asking if the mint tea was caffeine free. (It's not, it's a mint/green tea blend.) needless to say I did not sleep that night and got heart palpitations because I am very sensitive to caffeine. My server also made rude jokes when I said I had a dairy allergy and asked if I had an epi pen after he gave me a salad with cheese on it. He failed to inform the kitchen of my allergy. The whole night was so awkward after that. Once my food was remade it was delicious but I don't want to feel awkward like that ever again. I won't be back!

Great burgers. And they have good tartar sauce for fries or tots. Friendly servers and fast service most days. I'd much rather call ahead to order a great burger than eat horrible drive through food.

Nice quiet place to slip in for lunch! The service is great along with the food, I definitely recommend!

This is a McMenamins establishment, which generally merits three stars. Three stars is the golden mean for McMenamins in that every McMenamins experience meets, but does not exceed your expectations. The beer is...meh. The food is...meh. The service is...usually slow, but the venues are outstanding. So add service to venue and you get another...meh. The Hillsdale Brewery is the same. It's nice place, with measured pour cocktails and a pretty limited menu of mediocre food. Last time I was here the service was actually pretty fast! If you're looking for a place for a date, or a quick family bite, this place is okay. Not more and not less.

We used to love this place, but the service and menu have both declined. Recently ordered two higher bowls and Cajun tots. The tots came badly overcooked (sharp and crunchy, with almost no softness remaining to the potatoes inside), and we asked if they could be remade and were told this is just how they are. (It's not; we've eaten McMenamins tots here and elsewhere many times and they've never been like this.) The higher bowl with peanut sauce tasted like someone added a strong ginger Thai sauce to a Mexican bean bowl -- initially confusing and after a few bites, not even edible. How is this even an option on the menu? We paid the bill and went home to cook dinner. We may try again eventually (with the next menu perhaps), but more likely will just drive over to Raleigh Hills from now on. It's quite disappointing, as this is our neighborhood.

My first McMenamins! I hear they're all over Oregon, but not so much in Washington where I'm from. I actually thought most of the food was above average, from the crispy tots to the green salad with pickled onions to the fancy local organic ketchup. However, the burger was just average, although I did like the little bit of oily crispiness in the bun. Shame, because it sounded great on paper (grilled mushrooms, peppers, cheese). Not a bad meal, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again.

I've been here a few times since it's in my neighborhood. You standard McMenamin's fare - good happy hour deals, etc. The reason the rating is so low is that on at least two separate occasions we've had just the rudest server. Now I tend to be at least SOMEWHAT aware of my demeanor, and usually err on the side of kindness and appreciation, especially if someone is having a hard time. But when the server (men, both times) gives you the vibe that you've somehow pissed them off from the moment you walk in, and that doesn't change no matter how much you thank them.... look, I don't need you to be the jovial clowny guy, but at least don't be a dick, yeah? Ugh.

I stopped coming here and haven't been back for quite awhile A friend wanted to treat my family and I to dinner and visit for a bit while we were home for a few days days after my 5 year old sons 1st round of chemotherapy Jecci was our waitress and it was the most horrible service I've ever had in my life Her and my mom ordered margaritas and food and myself, husband and kids just ordered drinks since we had just ate somewhere else but still wanted to spend some time all together today before heading back to the hospital for more chemotherapy on Wednesday Everyone ordered ginger ale and my husband ordered sprite Everyone at the table drank a sip of everyones ginger ale to prove I'm not crazy when i said it tastes "spicy like it had cayenne pepper and cinnamon in it" After everyone drank some their mouths were on fire not to mention my 5 year old that hasn't had much to eat or drink due to chemotherapy and it instantly upset his stomach When we brought it to Jecci she got an attitude and said "u want to change your drink order again", proceeded to get more of an attitude when my 5 year old wanted chocolate milk then rudely said they don't have any milk After we asked for something else to drink and my husband looks back behind the bar area he saw her roll her eyes and 2 guys laughing This is COMPLETELY unacceptable and I will never give this place any business again, I will tell everyone I know about this experience and I will continue to give Cider Mill my business because they are friendly, welcoming and their food and service are top notch unlike this shit hole that has rude waitresses and lets not forget about the flies flying around everywhere and the dirty ass kitchen that looks like they never clean it

just a great fun neighborhood hang out. the food is fine - we go for the people. servers are awesome and fun. Jane is the best!

This place always delivers for me. Excellent customer service and food. Even when they are extremely busy they manage to maintain a good service standard. Great salads and burgers and cozy. After a very poor experience I had at the Fulsom Pub I have to say if you are in SW, and want a pub, go to Hillsdale instead! Professional friendly wait staff, timely service and good pub food!

Fantastic service, great beer and incredible Food! Super friendly. We will definitely Be back. Warm and cozy, great atmosphere on a rainy day.

This is a nice little McMenamins location. I'd never been here before and the main point of stopping by was to get lunch and our stamps in our McMenamins passports. My advice here...would be to not come for a lunch hour. Our server was waiting on the entire establishment and after taking our drink order quickly slipped away. It was really really hard to get his attention for anything and he wasn't warm or friendly. After waiting for our food for 40 minutes I had to walk up to the bar to ask for everything to go. I simply had to get back to work. I was pretty peeved that I wasn't able to enjoy my food there. The food was fantastic! I just had to eat as much as I could in my car before running back into work. This place is worth the stop if you are patient and have the time to hang out.

Don't recommend patio on a summer afternoon. The outdoor seating desperately needs sun shade. It is right on the street facing west. Today the afternoon sun was beating down on our table. Luckily I had my own umbrella in the car, so I went and grabbed it. Right after I opened it a manager came out - not our table, mind you. She didn't offer to switch us to a different table or even pretend to commiserate with her customers with sweat rolling down their backs - she just hollered from the door across the patio, "you can't have that, it goes over the sidewalk", and walked away. Every other diner turned to stare at me as I closed my umbrella and took it back to my car. I can understand that it may have been a liability, but yelling at me across the patio in front of my neighbors and community is not acceptable. I'm at tripster who has loved McMenamins for years and recommended the passport to countless people, but this really soured the experience. Despite her boss's behavior, our waitress was great.

I always feel ill after eating here. Way greasier food than the other mcmenamins. Never again. UPDATE: Despite my reservations, I tried this place again. I literally felt compelled to call in and ask if anyone else had complained about the beef lately as my cheeseburger tasted so off. Wondering if it was just me, I had even had a housemate take a few bites and she confirmed that it tasted really strange and bad. So I'm left wondering yet again why this restaurant wants to kill me. What is with this McMenamins?? In the end, I asked for my food to be comped next time and was told it was fine and to come in for a gift card. I think I'm actually gonna skip it

This was a favorite spot for my spouse and I given its location. We had always had amazing service and a good time until this past weekend when the server/bartender threatened to kick me out because I used foul language in a private conversation with a friend while sitting at the bar at nearly 9 pm. I was told that this was "A family establishment and he would kick me out next time". It was rude, condescending, and not to mention, uncalled for.

Always can rely on this awesome establishment. Location is amazing. Outdoor patio fab and as you can see from pic, enjoying my beer. This is a nitro coffee ale. Yum. Never had this before. Service is great. Same guy who is here all the time is quick and nice.

The staff at McMenamin's was extremely helpful in helping me find a safe meal to eat due to my special diet with celiac disease. The location on Broadway had a separate GF fryer, and gluten free items on the menu. They also rewashed the pots and pans and cleared out the area in the kitchen where my meal was prepared. Thank you McMenamin's for the great experience!

I brought my homie here for some food as he was in dire need of grub and I grog. He suggested this location as it was near his house and I've never been there. Parking can be a little unusual with the location nearby just make sure you take the first right. Not the 2nd right. It's a small restaurant but they have outside seating. When we showed up there was hardly any guess. We found a spot at the bar easily. I found a beer I wanted. My friend James found some food to go he wanted. And a ginger beer. We both enjoyed a few drinks while waiting for our food. Again I was just for beer my friend was for the food. The cheeseburger my friend chose looked amazing. The home cook fries were a little soggy as should have been fried a lot longer. Their chef needs a little training but she was doing pretty good. My friend enjoyed his burger and that's all that really mattered. I really enjoyed the beers and that's all that really mattered. The parking can be tricky. The beer can be delicious. The seating is plentiful. And the food is something to be desired.

My main purpose of writing this review is to inform my fellow vegetarians of the Hammerhead Garden Burger since there hasn't been a review that mentions it yet. It is definitely one of the best garden burgers I've had at a restaurant. I am well pleased. The patty had a grilled crunchiness to it -- very satisfying. I asked for a side a mayo to put on the burger and that made it perfect. They definitely do not skimp you on the lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and red onions. It was nice and tall and packed. Buns were nice and thick. My lunch + tip was $12. I was full, but not overly stuffed and I felt my money was well spent for the taste and portion size. Good size garden burger with tater tots. Can't go wrong with the flavorful and crunchy tots. Mayo + ketchup makes for a yummy dipping sauce. Oh, and extra points for the organic, non-high fructose corn syrup ketchup!! It was so refreshing to see they didn't serve Heinz! Ketchup taste and texture was deliciously non-over-processed. I went here to catch up with a friend around 12:30pm on a Friday and it was not packed like I was afraid it would be. When you're going during your lunch break from work, time is of the essence. We seated ourselves in a booth right away. I love that it wasn't too crowded. It took just a tad long to get our food, but the quality of the food made the wait worth it. When you're busy talking with the company you're with, it's hardly noticeable. Otherwise, we had a very attentive and efficient server who was super quick with checking in on us, clearing the table, offering dessert, and getting us our checks. The ambience could use some improvement, but it's my only critique; I personally don't really care. This place is meant to be more on the casual side with slightly rough edges. Women's bathroom was clean with no odor. Parking was ample and spaces were not cramped. It was easy to get in and out. This is an excellent spot with decent vegetarian options to grab good ol' American grub and get your money's worth of satiety. The tots and ketchup alone makes me want to go back.

Hillsdale Neighborhood Perhaps it is the location as to why not too many Yelpers have descended upon this spot, or perhaps it is how saturated Portland is with restaurants and the many choices Yelpers have, or perhaps it's something else. Either way this place definitely found a fan in me. I came here simply because Salvador Molly's was so packed and this was right next door. My good buddy lives in this area so to keep things simple we went to his "Cheers" spot... funny thing is nobody knew him on this evening... Talk about ammunition! I've known this guy since 1990! We started off by sharing their Buffalo Wings: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mcmenamins-pubs-portland-3?select=90yPUuQ9YBuIdoVBdCteeg#JLsQrsb8xSq9KglIWG3suA and while him and his wife were not that impressed saying they've had better there I actually enjoyed the couple that I had. I have kind of a small appetitie and didn't want to ruin it for my Steak Wrap. These wings had plenty of tender chicken meat, were nicely dressed with Buffalo Sauce that had a nice little zing to them without being too "Vinegary," and were not drown in stomach real estate taking breading! The Ranch Dressing made for a nice cool contrast to the heat of the sauce. For an entree I went with the most delicious Cowboy Steak Wrap: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mcmenamins-pubs-portland-3?select=90yPUuQ9YBuIdoVBdCteeg#90yPUuQ9YBuIdoVBdCteeg which is mesquite steak, smoked mozzarella, tomato, frizzled onions, lettuce, & chipotle mayonnaise wrapped in warm a tortilla. Ironically and in a most welcome fashion this wrap had a bacon taste about it. I can easily tell you ladies and gentlemen that this was easily one the best choices I've ever made and cannot thank McMineman's enough for coming up with this combination. Every component just had me so happy from flavor to texture. You get a choice of side so I went with the rarely offered Cajun Tots... again a slammin choice and they had a nice kick to them that is rarely found. I also loved how crunchy they were. I just couldn't push this item enough. Their prices are pretty average, but were made even better with our arrival time during happy hour. The wings were discounted and so were the couple beers that we had. There is a very old school feel about this place, but it is still very welcoming. You don't get the sense you are in any sort of chain at all. Gone is corporate and contrived while present is individualism. Service is extremely nice, attentive, helpful, and expedient, by the whole staff. Their private lot features plenty of parking.

Very McMenamins - nice and slow service, and average food with a cool and fun atmosphere (although I've definitely been to many McMenamins with a much more enjoyable atmosphere). I just wish that they would change up their menu, and get some better beers. Is that too much to ask? I mean, what would be cooler than hanging out with your cool friends in a fun place, drinking some GOOD beer, and eating some DELICIOUS food? Nada, that's what. If you're just looking to enjoy the company that you're with, and don't care that the beer that you are drinking isn't really all that tasty, then this is your place. If you want to eat and drink something good - then go somewhere else.

This is the original McMenamins from which all have grown. It was originally a Skippers fish and chips fast food spot. The McMenamin brothers successfully lobbied the Oregon legislature to allow brewers to brew, measure for taxes and then sell the beer on site. That's a brew pub, and the legal and taxing innovation was nontrivial at the time. This was the first brewpub in Oregon! From the beginning, they filled growlers to go, though growlers is a new term. Mason jars originally. They have the standard McMenamins beers and food menu contributing to the star rating to positive. But you have to give them credit for starting brewpubs, brewing in the Hillsdale area (now joined by Sasquatch) and being a fine Hillsdale gathering spot, daytime to late. Now about the food. McMenamins discloses nutrition information for regular menu items on their website. The holy trinity of American desire is sugar, salt and fat, all unhealthy. McMenamins reduce all. An admirable goal! Can it taste good and be good? That is the question. They have rotating specials available to all their pubs which individual managers select. I tried what sounded like an innovative option from the ingredients, but the anticipated taste experience was lacking. They do offer their food to-go in the A-OK paper clamshells. And on their website they list suppliers - they do a stellar job at local sourcing! The staff was excellent, prompt, communicative. That's great! And I get the very successful McMenamins business model, good ingredients, solid staff treated and supported as they should be, healthy, thin beers, all supporting a spectacular and high quality expansion and renovation of historic buildings. Suggest they experiment with a few marquee beers, equalling the top local brewers, keep up the distilling program, with the same goals, figure out a way to make the food more tasty and tell their story, which is cool. Don't be afraid to order specials, or to be disappointed in their flavor. But if you have relatives visiting with bland food preferences, like from the Midwest, they are a perfect choice!

BUSY! My first experience with McMenamins Hillsdale Brewery & Public House was for their annual brewfest in February. It was... a very peopled place. Getting a space to sit so you can drink beer and eat some tots requires some patience. But, per usual, patience pays off and once you get to taste the delicious brews the brewmasters have cooked up, life gets good. Because of the nature of the brewfest and the fact that I sat outside in the beer tent for the entirety of my Hillsdale Brewery experience, I can't speak to the artwork or ambiance inside the pub. That's reserved for my next visit. If you're a beer lover and you're willing to fight the crowd, I'd definitely stop in for the brewfest and if it happens to be any day other than that one day in February, I'd still stop buy for some tots and a pint.

Don't even bother. There's better places to get some food or drink. Food here is mediocre. It's another McMenamins. We had a birthday party here once - didn't turn out too well. The waitress appeared new and kept messing up nonstop. This place is lame. Their beer isn't even worth coming here for.

Food was good and there were things on the menu that were not typical. The beer selection was great. We got the sampler and liked all. We came with our six kids and the place felt comfortable and family friendly. Service was not up to par with the food and beer. The server was uninviting, not friendly, short and didn't crack one smile. I would even go as far as saying he was rude.

This is of course one of many locations for this outstanding brand. With that said I was some what put off by the staff here and remembered that I'm here for the tots and Beer ;) Cool vibe of course, clean restarunt on general appearance... But lacks the people Capitol that should drive costumer service. It's a good place but not on my list of TOGO places.

Felt super bad for the waiter since he was alone but it took more than 10 minutes for him to bring menus, and another 10 minutes for him to take our order. We ended up leaving and going home to eat leftovers. Probably won't go there again.

We came here in February for the beer fest and they had run out of gift cards for those of us with passports. We were told to come back another time. Well here we are, trying to claim our passport gift cards and the server questioned everything in our passports, even some of the experience stamps. He absolutely made us feel like we were tying to pull one over on them. Hands down some of the worst McMennamins service we've ever received. This one of the locations that you should just skip. It smells, the service is not friendly and the food is not up to par with other locations.

This location is a stand-out for service. I have lived in the neighborhood awhile, but have bypassed Hillsdale McMenamins, no real reason, just not on my radar, sometimes you get poor service at the different McMenamins and that may be why. I have stopped in for a couple brews on random nights and got really great service. Just normal service, but memorable for McMenamin's. One fall day I just had an eye appointment and crossed the street to have a beer. Sat outside and was entertained by looking out watching pedestrians. The other night I was in to buy a gift card and sat at the bar - I drank a Kris Kringle Holiday ale. It was nice, slight spice. Sitting at the counter I faced the food prep area and saw them turn out items and staff pick 'em up to distribute among the patrons. Kind of an odd seat, to be looking at the food/prep area. They had a gigantic Chocolate Cake on Display - hmmmm tempting. Solid follow up with service. I will make more of an effort to enjoy Happy Hour or Lunch here. It's cozy. Think it's one of the first brewpubs in Portland - still operating. Thanks for having authentic, good servers on board.

I'm not much of a five star giver but our first time at Twigs surprised me by being so good. Our visit was on a Sunday during the 3-6 happy hour. They were very busy and we had no reservation so we sat at the bar, thoroughly enjoying the scene. The happy hour food was outstanding and the servings were quite large. We had mezza, pork tacos and fig & prociutto flat bread plus one glass of wine each.$42 plus tax and tip. It was fairly noisy but we could have a conversation between ourselves and also various others. We will definitely return for regular meals and plan to meet friends there. I may change my rating then but for now it's a five.

I got the Portland Dip sandwich with Cajun tots to go. The sandwich was excellent with well-proportioned components, the au jus had great flavor without being too salty, and the tots were spot on. The order was filled promptly, and my server was friendly and professional.

Sucky location. My catsup bottle exploded because of rotten ketchup. Poor service go to another location.. Service is also slow as well.. great disappointment compared to All the other location. The manager should be replaced. In fact Fred Meyer said go to the other location thAt this location sucks. Wells known to people around the area. I think we were direction to Fulton or fulerton location and it was great and met my expectations with McMenamins

Just another below average food, beer & service experience you can always expect from a McMenamins establishment.

Sat at this establishment for over an hour waiting for our food, after It took 10 minutes for us to get drinks. They had a large to go order. Id imagine the customers sitting in front of you are more important than the gentleman who called in. When we arrived there was one other table seated, the restaurant is fuller now and people are eating around us.. I just wanted a burger, but im losing money since I am "working" and my lunch break has now been officially 1 hour and 12 minutes. I don't go home until the job is done today. First McMinnamins Ive been to that im dissatisfied. I used to work in one.

great music, decent service. i got the higher bowl with peanut sauce and it was wayyy too much sauce. very unenjoyable. i asked for a bun to eat it with because it was almost soupy. they charge me for the bun. :/

We really enjoy it here. They are patient with our two little kids (ares 3 and 2) which is a huge plus to us. My son likes to stand and watch the chefs cook and they tolerate that too. They have a nice little patio area that has heat lamps so it stays warm in the cold months and their food and beer selection is good. On the whole we love it!
