Let's start with the negatives, since that's how it started the minute we encountered this restaurant, for me anyway, other member of my group comes to Mt. Hood quite frequently, and stops here now & then. He can do his own review!
1. They do not allow dogs, ONLY service animals. It is summer and it's hot, we can't leave the poor pup in the car, the relatives are visiting (so are we) the area.
2. We either have to eat outside where it is sunny (there's an umbrella that keeps moving, when it's tilted). But we have children, and one adult with shingles and have had skin disease in the past, thus very VERY sensitive to the sun.
3. We can leave the son with a dog (and eat by themselves outside), and the rest of us, eat in the comfort of inside dining.
4. Option 3: We can bring it back to the cabin, but son and dog don't want to drive back in those bumpity-bumpity roads, plus he needs to get back home. But, our host decided on eating here, even with all that negatives, and I'm not adding, mostly that was just a whine!
Let's add the positives: The BBQ Burger & Fries are both excellent! PLENTY of outside cold water, for the customers, on a hot day. Our 4 years old grandson, made many trips, accommodating us! The macaroni and cheese, I was told, was the best in town, that he ever had! My Phlox Taco, was a bit SPICY, but I could only eat one out of three, because I was saving the rest of my lunch the next day. (Food taste better the next day!) Note: I really didn't enjoy my taco, because there are spices here & there, that made me tear up. Will not be ordering it. Granddaughter had the Chicken Strips comes with Fries. I didn't ask how she liked it. The grandson FEASTED ON FRIES. He was more happy being our water boy!
