pFriem Family Brewers - Hood River

We live in the Portland metro area and my wife visited the Hood River location 7 months ago with all her girlfriends. She brought me along this time. Lucky me 😄 We are looking forward to trying the Milwaukie outpost soon. Our server Tami was absolutely delightful! The food was on point, looking amazing and super delicious too. Would definitely recommend anybody to visit. There are a lot of options for gluten-free food, which I am grateful ❗ Hmm ..If you made a gluten-free beer option I would give you 10 Stars 🤩

We arrived as they opened, and were immediately seated outside. Service was good/friendly, food was fantastic, and the view of the Columbia are great. Went back on a beautiful April day. Arrived when they open, and were seated immediately. We ordered house pickled veggies (they were good) Steak Frites (they were fine), Fish & Chips (amazing... gluten free!!!), and Apple & Carrot salad (out of this world, it's seasonal, but if available, you must order it). Still 5 stars.

Loved this brewery!! Great location right along the river within walking distance to the park across the street. Great staff. Food was incredible- gluten free fish and chips- I was thrilled! Our waitress was also phenomenal!

We were told the wait for an outdoor table would be around 30 minutes, but we ended up waiting almost 45 minutes—even though two tables sat empty the entire time. It felt like the staff wasn’t paying attention or just didn’t care. While we waited, our kids were playing at the nearby playground, and unfortunately, our daughter injured her ankle. We returned to the host stand with a crying child, clearly distressed, yet not a single staff member acknowledged the situation or offered to expedite our order, provide assistance, or even ask if we wanted to take our food to go. The entire experience felt indifferent, slow, and impersonal. Definitely not a place we’ll be returning to anytime soon.

I got the gochugang wings and a hazy ipa. The wings were good although the portion is unique small for the price. The beer was excellent and k would definitely get the hazy ipa again. I read good reviews about the salmon fish and chips but they were not available when I was there.

So tired of being disrespected by this place. I love their beer, but every time I come to their Hood River location, we are treated so poorly. So, we went to Ferment had good beer and a better view all before we were even contacted by pfriem for our table.

Everything here was perfect! Get a flight of beers to sample and enjoy. I got the fish and chips, it was so good! You are going to spend quite a bit here but it’s a great experience!

The fish and chips was the best I ever had! Delicious and perfect! The Mac and cheese is creamy and filling. I really enjoy the Mexican beer as well. Very nice restaurant and outdoor area with fire pit. Highly recommend for families, friends, and intimate gathering.

After a day at the Gorge, we were looking for a restaurant before heading back to Portland, and pFriem came highly recommended. Opting for the bar to skip the wait for a table, we were greeted by friendly and fun staff who took excellent care of us. We ordered the Brussel sprouts, Apple and Beet Salad, and Fish & Chips. The Brussel sprouts stole the show with their incredible flavor, served with a bacon-lime aioli. I'm already trying to figure out how to recreate them at home. While the Apple and Beet salad was good, it didn't stand out much. However, the Fish & Chips were exceptional, featuring NW Rockfish served with a house-made tartar sauce that was simply amazing. And those fries! I'm still wondering what magic they worked to make them so irresistible. For beverages we ordered a Hazy IPA and a wine from the local winery Syncline, both of which were delightful. pFriem consistently delivers delicious beer, and I often opt for a glass when dining out.

Our friend who works in the malting industry recommended Pfriem for our anniversary trip out to Hood River, so we walked in on a Thursday night to have dinner there and celebrate. Upon chatting with David, our server and bartender, we told him why we were in town. He then came back with sparkling wine as a little toast for us! How kind is that! The food was great with generous portions and reasonable prices, the service was friendly and attentive, and the beers were delicious. And the music and ambiance was awesome. What more could you ask for? And then as we were leaving, Victoria on staff came over and said she heard it was our anniversary and wanted to gift us a 4-pack of beer!! They have a retail shop and she took us over to select which one we wanted. How amazing is that?? Cannot say enough great things about Pfriem and their amazing staff! Thanks David and Victoria, we can't wait to come back!

Five stars for being a kid friendly establishment because that is the thing that brought us here. We were a big group of nine and had a kid with us and none of the other restaurants in the area wanted to seat us or the wait was way too long. We finally found this place and although there was a wait for an hour, they let us hang out in a waiting area and get some beverages. They were more than happy to let us also sample multiple beers and I didn't even once see the staff get annoyed because many of us wanted to try the same thing . We hung outside for about an hour and were seated as we approached the 60 minute mark. once seated our orders were taken, and the food arrived quickly. The back patio was inviting and even though it was a bit cold the overhead heaters provided some warmth . We got another round of beverages with the food as well. Between the 9 of us we were able to try a lot of the menu items and honestly everything tasted delicious. The brussels sprouts were a surprise as I did not expect them to be so good. The brat was another one that I liked along with the Gochujang Chicken wings. Our server was fantastic and took really good care of us. She insured to check up on us frequently and to make adjustments when we asked for some . I would highly recommend them for big groups and for a family outing.

It has been a minute since we have been to their flagship in Hood River and we were pretty pleasantly surprised at the food, service and of course the views and ambiance. We had the mussels with fries, a small arugula and fennel salad and flash fired brussel sprouts. Every thing was very tasty but I am not a fan of their 'fresh cut' fries. I would ask for a substitution if I they were the side on any future order. The mussels themselves were absolutely scrumptious. Also, their beer is so good when you get it from the tap at the brewery. Fresh, Fresh, Fresh!!!

We were in hood river for two nights and ate here both nights. There might be a line but you can grab a beer and wait from Bear's den. Service and food are both great. Highly recommend!

I went in with super high expectations and then pFriem exceeded them! We've had their beer despite living in the Midwest thanks to Tavour and loved everything we've had. The beers when we finally attended in person were amazing - from the Belgian options to the stouts and lagers, the variety was incredible and even more in bottles that were delicious and easily available. My favorite was actually the Belgian dark given how light and drinkable it was despite a bit of booziness and depth of flavor. What really surprised me was the food quality - top notch. Everything we ate was incredible. My wife had a pesto sandwich which was great, we shared some gochujang chicken and that sauce was unbelievably good - a thinned-out gochujang with apple or something, amazing. Would get this every time. I also got a pulled pork reuben which was a daily special but really cool, a unique twist on two sandwiches that really grew in flavor the more I ate. If I lived anywhere near Hood River, I would be here ALL the time.

We stopped by Pfriem on our way to Eugene. The service was fast and friendly, and the beer was delicious. The interior is standard brewery Industrial chic, and there is both an upstairs and a market attached. I highly recommend you stop in here. As a bonus, the area this taproom sits in is unique!

Food was good. We ordered all Sorts of apps including smoked trout, hummus, cucumber and onions. The smoked trout and hummus was good. The cucumber and chicken onions was a joke and it was definitely on us. A few cucumber with a tiny bit of onions and then a splash of Italian dressing. Not sure what the thought was on this app. Not much to think about here. We thought it might be pickled but it wasn't. Had the brisket wrapped in a pita. Small portion size. Would not order this one again. What meat was inside was tender. The burger was just ok as well, and we didn't get the pimento cheese initially, but our server grabbed us some. Overall, 3.5 stars. Mexican lager was tasty

We sat on the counter and the. Service was great. They serve food for everyone from a burger, fried chicken to quinoa kale salad tossed with hazelnut butter, yum! I will come back for this dish. They have a couple of sour beer, my favorite is PRUIM, flavor plum, lemon, berries and nice tartness.

Always stop here after a hike on Mt Hood. Beer is great. Had the coconut IPA and the hazy. For food we started with the arugula salad. It was good, but could have been better if the pecorino was shaved instead of grated and maybe had just one more texture (tomato?, piñons?, etc.). Then we split two entrees: the fish and chips and the chicken schnitzel sandwich. Everything looked really delicious when it came out - nice presentation! The batter on the fish is really good - substantial and really crispy, although there were some pockets of batter that were too salty. The schnitzel sandwich was good, but also maybe a little salty & lacking a special something...? Overall a good meal though!

I did not expect to like this place so much! We were just looking for a light lunch after a day of hiking, and found this place. We got the arugula and fennel salad, seasonal leek & potato soup, and the macaroni and cheese. Everything was phenomenal! We devoured the shareable size salad, which was the perfect size for two people. Everything about it was perfect, but we especially loved the pine nuts it has in it. The macaroni and cheese was so good and unique, I have never had any like it. You get a really unique taste from the pilsner in it which I did not expect, but really loved. Our server was super friendly and helpful. He recommended an IPA to my husband, which he ended up loving, and went to the kitchen to ask about an ingredient for me. I would really recommend this place!

We enjoy a tasting flight of beer, along with several dishes. Mochiko chicken, schnitzel sando and chicken sando were both delicious. They had poutine but the cheese curds were still cold in the middle. That was the only bummer. Service was bright and friendly.

I've been here before and it was great. But today was told I had to wait 10 minutes before getting a table. The thing is there were 4 tables inside and 3 tables outside cleaned and ready to go, with nobody standing nearby waiting for a table. Never ran in that type of situation before. Not sure I'll be back, because if it doesn't look that busy you might have to wait a while to get seated st the open cleaned table that you'll probably be seated at 20 minutes later.

Menu appears small, but check it all out- actually a huge variety and there's daily specials. Pickled vegetables spot on, clearly house made. Coleslaw is mix between light mayo and vinaigrette style very tasty and fresh. Brat plate filling and delicious. The schnitzel sandwich divine, crispy, thin, peppers added just the right balance. The beer flight are flexible up to 6, great flavors. Cute inside, loud acoustics and initial service was slow, but it righted itself.

I love this brewery! They have really great food and good beer and a fun location in Hood River. A place we usually bring guests and keep coming back to! I've had the pimento burger, the veggie burger, and the fish and chips - all awesome. So good that phone did not eat first lol.

Waited over 50 minutes for a chair at the bar??? I'm disabled and I can't sit on high chairs, to which the hostess blew out a rude sig. There were quite a few tables open so there was no problem I could see... just her issue for not seeing the issue. I had told her an hour earlier that because of my disability I couldnt sit on high seats. The hostess was beyond rude and gave a little huff... leading us to another table. We then watched as other were waited on all around us but us.... I would have walked out but I was angry. Finally I flagged down someone and asked we could get a to help us???? The the food was cold.. had a terrible experience. if this is how you treat disabled person... shame on you

Been here twice now and it's now one of my favorite spots in Hood River. I was really hoping to find a place to celebrate and savor a glorious day on Mt Hood and this is it! They have a terrific selection of top notch brews and I really appreciate their dedication to crafting dark beers. I had the Doppelbock and it was delightful. How could you possibly resist trying anything named Doppelbock? ;) I also appreciate how most of their brews are offered with 8, 12, or 16 oz pours. An 8 oz brew after a glorious day outside is just right for me :) Their food is terrific. The salmon chowder and cheeseburger and fries are top notch. And I just enjoyed their Simple Salad with chicken. It was delightful, especially when I wanted to eat something healthy after a glorious workout on the mountain today. I received excellent service from my bartender on both occasions and the location is spectacular. It's easy to get to, easy to park, and is along the beautiful river park on a street full of many other great restaurants. It's so cool to see such a vibrant hub of food and drink spots here in Hood River :)

This place is such a TREAT to visit in the heart of Hood River!!! We looooooved it. I can't wait go back and visit again. Such a great vibe, clean and aesthetically pleasing, solid customer service, and the food is soooooo good! They make every dish beautiful and delicious. And their freshly made lemonades were so satisfying after all the exploring we did.

Only beers I drink these days are barrel aged, which is hard to find a good selection this time of year. Pfriem had a long list of them. Great food and service too

Service was fantastic. Josh was a Rockstar. Food was good, but I think prettier than it was delicious. Just lacking a little something. We sat outside on a gorgeous evening & got our food pretty quickly.

It's not often that I get to go here, but when I do I'm never disappointed The beer, amazing The atmosphere, premium but chill The food, great The location, epic We visited on 10/07/2023 the day after they put their Maui Relief Kokua IPA and got to enjoy a few glasses and took some home in a crowler :) epic limited addition beer that Pfriem brewed and some of the proceeds are going to help Maui :) and was it delicious? OF COURSE! I don't even like IPAs but this one, nice and not too strong so you can drink a lot of it :) Please make it out while they have it on tap and support not only Pfriem, but a good cause :)

Finally dined in at this popular, waterfront brewery and enjoyed a delicious meal! Went with the Hawker Roll with fries. Fries were so satisfying, the right level of crispy. Definitely recommend getting the side of garlic aioli! Hawker Roll had delicious flavors, but I'll warn you that it was very juicy! Be sure to ask for extra napkins!

Delicious food, kind servers, vegetarian options, nice night dinner ambiance! Loved their veggie burger and Idaho fries! Burger was dense in the center and crispy on the exterior. The onions were sweet and thinly sliced! Yum! The Hungarian mushroom soup was worth the +$3.00 upcharge. I could've eaten a full bowl of it. It was sooo delicious. The beet pear salad was pretty and tasty, you definitely pick up the tahini in the dressing. The salad was large enough to share. The Son of Man cider tasted like Spanish green olive juice (the pickled olive juice) mixed with alcohol. It had a spark of funky essence after it leaves your palate. I finished it but wouldn't order it again. Can't say anything about their other drinks because the only other thing we drank was the complimentary water with our meal.

Food here is great! Croquettes were insane! The beer was really great. Only problem is the wait. It can be super long

I knew Pfriem had great beers, and that was confirmed on my visit, where every one of the 6 beers of my flight were excellent, but they also have great food. My smoked trout was delicious, so were my wife's fish and chips and my son's lamb stroganoff. The people were friendly, too, so I would definitely recommend a visit.

Just incredible! The food was amazing, the atmosphere was beautiful, the staff was friendly and professional, and you can take a stroll right down to the water after your meal! I would come here weekly if I lived in this area, it's a great find! Highly recommended!

Right in the waterfront Pfreim is an elevated brewery. With lots of beer on tap, and some hard cider, plus plenty of wine options. For food, they offer all the usual suspects - mac&cheese, burgers, fried chicken - and some atypical pub options like stroganoff, a fantastic schnitzel, clams & chorizo, smoked trout, mussels and other items depending on what is seasonal. Even a few vegan options and kid meals, so something to accommodate and satisfy everyone. Even though it's a big space, it's intimate because of the many seating areas including an upstairs lounge and a dog friendly patio, the place to be in warmer weather. I love the beat salad with creamy goat cheese, always a good choice, and the schnitzel which is pounded thing and served crispy; I always ask for lemon wedges. The clams and chorizo is also a winner, and something I never make at home, so I enjoy ordering it when I'm out. Sometimes the chorizo can overpower the delicate clams, but their version has a great balance. Definitely bustling in the warmer weather, especially the summer, so be prepared for a wait. I'm here all year round so get to enjoy it in their "off season" when it's mostly locals. In the winter, they open their outdoor space to the Hood River Farmers Market so vendors can still sell their goods in a covered and warmer space. First, third and fifth Saturdays, 10-12 noon.

Came here for dinner on a Sunday night as a party of 4.5. There was about a 15-20 min wait. We were seated inside - service was weird. I'm assuming they were understaffed but our server kept forgetting things and just didn't seem like he was paying attention. I ordered the simple salad with chicken which was super good. My husband had the pimiento cheeseburger. The fries were delicious. Star of the show for sure. Cool spot, I would return.

LOVED... Great place to sit and watch the river and enjoy a good craft beer. Dog friendly, which is a huge plus to us

Visited here on a really lovely day. Drinks were great. Got the fish & chips; I really wish the tartar sauce was in a container instead of taking over half the plate. I understand that there are people who want GF options, but the batter on the fish was really disappointing and boring. It's still somewhere I'd revisit, probably.

This place is across the street from the river. It has a super fun vibe with indoor and outdoor seating as well as a outdoor drink area while you wait for your table. I ordered the Veggie burger which was made in house and fabulous. The fries looked hand cut. I would say it is on the more expensive side but you are paying for the location as well as the food. Expect a wait if you are there on the weekend it is popular!

This place is busy. Right on waterfront. They are dog friendly in that they allow you to tie your dog to the trees lining their sidewalk. Dogs are not allowed on the patio or inside. This place rocks the apps. The mochiko chicken could be a light lunch too. It was outstanding! Chicken was tender and not too much breading. Mushroom were excellent with a touch of citrus. Cucumbers were meh. Jagerschnitzel was just okay. The elote salad was epic with chicken. Chicken was moist and the salad was perfectly sauced. Little hint of spice too! We had rhetoric burger and pate app. The sliced pate with peppercorns was much better than the spreadable in the cup. Burger was great too. Service was friendly and prompt. They accurately predicted the wait time and texted us when table was ready.

Third time eating here in the past year and had to leave a review after my last experience this weekend. Previous two times were OK. Service was good but the portion sizes and food quality were very inconsistent. I ordered chilled mussels and it came with 2 very tiny pieces of French bread - each literally the size of a mussel shell. Wasn't nearly enough bread for the 14 or so mussels on the plate so I asked for some more bread and about 10 min later, out came 3 more pieces of the same size. When the bill came I found out they charged me $2 extra for the bread!! Never once did the server say I'd be charged extra and it's an outrageous additional charge on an $19 plate. I got charged 10% extra for 3 of the tiniest slices of bread ever - and they didn't even toast it on both sides! Additionally, my friend who got the beef burger requested medium and there wasn't a pink piece of meat to be seen. The tomato was sliced nearly a half inch thick which made it difficult to eat and he just ended up cutting the whole burger into pieces. Also, don't order the cheese plate. It's $21 and had blue cheese, pimento cheese, and one other cheese but the portions were incredibly small. The seasonal preserves were in a small metal ramekin usually used for ketchup - 3 tablespoons at most. It was served with bagel chips but again, not nearly enough. Oh, and nobody told us any details about the cheeses or where they were from - first time that's happened to me in Oregon. Positives: - Beers were good, especially the Koslch - Server was nice and helped us split the bill at friends request - schnitzel was good Overall this place is overpriced and stingy for the price you're paying. There's better options within walking distance and I'd only return for a beer, not food.

Hip atmosphere, good food and cold brews create a quintessential experience in the Columbia River Gorge. Lots of family's and lively conversations all around. Parking is a bit tough but I got lucky.

Stopped here for lunch while passing through with our two dogs. They're dog-friendly on their patio which is nice! We put in our name and waited about 35 minutes. We spent the time walking along the river and watching wind surfers. I ordered their house veggie burger and it was super good. It had great texture which was noticeable since most veggie patties fall apart easily; not this one. I thought it could've used more salt/seasoning but that's my only complaint. The bread they use for sandwiches is from a local bakery, and my brioche bun was delicious. I also tried a flight of beer and really enjoyed everything. They have a shop right next to the restaurant for to-go beer which is convenient. Overall, a nice lunch on a sunny afternoon.

10/10! Stopped here while passing through the Gorge. We got the Jagersnitzel and it was amazing! The cheese charcuterie was also so good. Laid back atmosphere and great service!

My personal favorite brewery. Their beer is incredible, especially their Canadian lager. They also have an amazing menu that has different unique specials all the time. The ambiance is not your typical, average mid century modern brewery that opened in the 2000s, which I appreciate. It is a wonderful date spot, and great for a family gathering as they have something everyone can enjoy, even if they don't drink. You can get a really nice meal here or get casual brewery food. Their service is always wonderful. Also their fries are awesome.

Place is off the charts ... Years ago kitchen was great .. went down ... Now it's back !! Better than ever .. and of course the beer !!! Amazing

The brewery and restaurant is situated in a beautiful strip of shops along the river. Parking is generally easy and the weather in the summer is always spot on. They have a beautiful bar chock full of their brews and surprisingly really good food. We were a larger party so we got to try a bunch of things, including beer flights and pours, and a mix of lunch food. Service was prompt and accommodating. Definitely added to our list of reliable spots for another visit in the future.

Industrial vibe brewery with good food! Ordered the Mac and cheese with bacon! This was very good! The noodles were light and cheese flavor isn't too rich. The cheese sauce pairs nicely with the crispy bacon, very flavorful. Chicken sandwich was crispy, with a nice breast fillet and slaw. Very attentive staff!

Service: prompt friendly greeting with immediacy seating. They have a nice big gas fire pit out side that was inviting that a couple guys were sitting around but it was 31deg...brrr Menu: selection is varied enough to satisfy most palates. I had PNW mussels in a spicy broth, with a baguette slice and frites with a aioli, nicely cooked and the frites had a great crisp. Spouse had the Brat plate...blonde brat sausage was *SO* good and flavorful especially paired with the curry mustard. The sour kraut on the side reminded me of the Bubble & Squeak brand, not a typ sour kraut, very good. I also had the 2022 Las Piñas, a nice pineapple-jasmine-zing sour...though subtle. They have a lot of beers on tap that they make...overall recommend!

what a sweet bartender, he chatted, helped find us the drinks we wanted and talk to us for a couple min. such a warm happy environment! perfect after a snow day! they have a outdoor patio and the fire place is always on!

As someone with a vegan diet restriction and also a lover of beer I appreciate how many vegan food options they had! I've been a few times, but must highlight their seasonal pumpkin curry! It was so delicious savory and sweet at the same time. I also tried the Dank IPA which was bomb af.

Great place! Beer and food was very good. Sat outside on heated patio. The only thing was birds that would fly in for crumbs our waitress was very attentive and sweet.

Fantastic! Manila clams for lunch today. Such a chill place and why don't I come here more often!

Came in for a burger, fries and brew. It's was a Sunday and a 15 min wait. We grabbed a cold one and sat outside by the fire. The service was really good and my pimento burgers was juicy and delicious. The fries were nice and crunchy. I liked the clams that my gf had as well. The sauce the clams were in was a coconut kind of tasting and made the clams taste really good. This place always has a lot of business and the IPA brews are some of the best. I try to come here whenever I am in town. It's good to come here a get a few six packs to go.

One of the best breweries you'll ever visit. Good luck getting in during the summer months. Worth the wait though.

Good food, I love clams and fried. Nice beer tasting and good services. I will be back again.

Phriem fun ~ Part of the destination experience at Hood River. No reservations ~ Hot spot for the summer; over an hour and a half long wait. The to-go shop adjoining the restaurant was shoulder to shoulder crowded with standing drinkers. Service was nonchalant amidst the elevated busyness. Pub Grub ~ a bit on the pricier side for petite sides accompanying entrees. Beer ~ Delicious. Expensive. Delicious. *Recommended ~ Bourbon Barleywine & Maple Barrel Aged Smoked Porter.

Fantastic food and beverages. We stopped there while passing through. It was so good we stopped in on our way back home!
