Such a cool historical restaurant. The music is old school 20’s to 40’s the view is amazing. This place has been around since the Great Depression. The staff is friendly and the food is amazing. The portions are large and taste comforting like grandma used to make. I would eat hear again in an instance. Family of 4 is going to cost you $100 but worth it. 5 stars.

Wonderful dining experience. Great PNW atmosphere along the river just off the scenic highway. Amazing classic comfort food. Check out the photo of the Chicken N' Dumplings. Restaurant was busy but we were seated and served quickly. The wait staff was amazingly efficient yet friendly and worked together extremely well. Restaurant is up for sale. Owner's been working there for 55 years. Hope new owners keep everything just as it is.

This has been my favorite restaurant for decades!! The prime rib was excellent & cooked to perfection. And my friends pan fried chicken was delicious. We'll definitely be back!!

Cute rustic looking. We shared chicken and dumplings order. There was plenty for sharing and they bring extra big home made dumplings and extra gravy. This is a must stop when in Troutdale. Sorry I didn't take a picture of giant dumplings

Outstanding service and scrumptious comfort food at Tad’s. While you might think they only serve chicken and dumplings, they also offer salads, pasta, seafood, and beef dishes. Large chunks of light and dark meat chicken are hidden under dumplings that are like puffy pillows smothered in chicken gravy. One order will feed two people. Frankly, these are better than Mom used to make!

Ambience was fantastic. Portion size was huge. Staff was great… it’s pretty lame they want to charge you $2 if you want to share an entree though… if it wasn’t for that then I’d have rated 5 stars.

Wonderful historic restaurant on the river. Chicken and dumplings are very good as are other items on menu. A little pricey but with it. Enjoy. Usually a wait to get in.

Go hungry. The portions here are large and filling. They're known for their chicken and dumplings, but the have so much more, including a really good selection of seafood. Yum. Ask to sit in the lower level if you'd like to see views of the river. This is an especially great option to see the sun setting over the mountains. Bob appetit
