"Ohio-based outpost Fat Head’s in Portland became locally owned Von Ebert Brewing, featuring beers from The Commons star brewer Sean Burke. The brewery is expanding, opening an East Side location at the Glendoveer Golf Course, featuring a wider selection of mixed-culture and sour beers. Willamette Week describes Von Ebert as 'every bit as good as it was in the rust belt era.'" - Brooke Jackson-Glidden

This is a great place to hang out, enjoy some local beers, and really good pizza. Definitely a place where you want to share some of the many options. The wings were great and the pizzas are recommended. You can order from your phone or the staff is more than willing to help out and provide suggestions to order.

Von Ebert is a close walk to the hotel I was staying at. This delightful little hall is pet-friendly, has an array of award-winning beers, and has a great overall vibe. I'm not usually a fan of restaurants that utilize a QR code to order and pay for their food, but I found this application more intuitive and easy to use. Additionally, the service and demeanor of the staff are prompt and bubbly, which only added to my praise. I had the two sausage platter with sauerkraut, beer cheese, and mustard, a lovely combination of fat and tang. The sausages were juicy and plump, which is just how I like them. My partner and I also caught them during burger week, so we were able to have their BBQ burger with crispy onions, which proved to be an excellent little burger to share for two. By the way, I loved my double grey goose extra dirty martini. If you're in the area and are looking for a let-your-hair-down place, this is for you. Oh, and I enjoyed the notices on the bathrooms highlighting support for an unsafe or wanted date. Cheers!

Parking: Paid street parking. It was not hard finding a spot on a Thursday evening. Service: A friendly staff member took my order accurately. She asked how my day was. I mentioned playing Scrabble all afternoon, and she responded with great enthusiasm, which was fun. Food came out speedily. Atmosphere: Lots of seating indoors and outdoors. Very high ceilings. Industrial vibe. I saw a wide age range of people there. There is even a tempting kids menu. PB&J with marionberry jam? As comedian Gary Gulman would say, “Are you reading my diary?” Food: Fresh and delicious. I ordered “The Oregonian” salad complete with Anjou pears, hazelnuts, and blue cheese. It was good, but salads definitely aren’t the big draw. My friend ordered a burger, beer, and pretzel. (She was hungrier than I was) and I got to sample. Fries are thin and crispy. My fav fry style. I dunked them in the pretzel cheese sauce. Not a mistake. I forgot to take a pic of the burger before my friend ate it. The pretzel was perfect-huge, salty, and soft.

While looking for a place to eat for Sunday lunch, I had called a couple of places in this area a few days before, and everything was completely booked. I made a reservation for Von Ebert Brewing just in case, but when we got there we realized that was totally unnecessary. The restaurant was seat-yourself and almost all of the tables were empty. After we made our choices to eat, we ordered at the bar and sat back down. The food tasted like basic bar food. I was a little disappointed in my daughter's quesadilla. What she was served was basically like a little snack and definitely not enough for a meal. Be prepared for a lot of homeless in the area and to pay for parking.

In house brewery serving up an great menu at extremely reasonable prices. The dining room is warm and welcoming, the atmosphere was fun and lively, and the food was delicious, prepared perfectly, and well portioned. So much of the food at other tables looked amazing, I'm already looking forward to going back and trying more.

Really good selection of food as well as beer!! We ended up coming during happy hour and was surprised by the cost of the happy hour and how reasonably priced everything was, and the portions were great. The service, quality and atmosphere was perfect. Highly recommend the house salad and the pulled pork sandwich. And you can’t beat a $3 beer on the happy hour menu.

Probably my favorite brewery in Portland, and I wasn't even looking for it. We happened across Von Ebert just before lunch towards the end of our trip, and quickly made our way to the bar. The building is big and beautiful. There was a large selection of diverse beers to choose from, as well as delicious food. I will be sure stop back by next time I'm in town.

First time trying this place and really enjoyed it. Lots of beer choices for flights. I had the sweet and spicy burger and was cery happy. The cajan tots were cooked perfectly. The tacos looked amazing...but my wife ate those. If we were local we would return again for sure.

Got some good beers and food from this brewery in the Pearl District. It can get crazy busy here. Von Ebert has a few locations, including this one in an area popular with locals and tourists. A lot of beers on tap at okay prices. The food has a few vegetarian choices among the burgers and stuff. Came at lunch. It was already getting busy and it was a wait to get bar seats. This wasn't that long though. A good variety of beers. It's about $7 a pint. Best we had of these was the Volatile Substance, a Northwest IPA. This is brewed with Mosaic and Simcoe hops, and has notes of berry, dank, and pine. It's about $17 for a burger and side item. The Impossible Burger is topped with avocado, arugula, tomato jam, and vegan garlic mayonnaise. Have to make an update about this business. It has closed this location. There's still a few others around that are open though.

Service was terribly slow, beers were alright, setup of the place is alright, but all in all our experience was pretty average. I like that they have some TV's but generally would opt for 10 Barrel over Von Ebert.

Good beer good pizza. Got the radler that hit the spot. Outdoor seating is nice only complaint is that the wait at the counter can take a while

We sat outside and ordered via the QR code. Very impersonal and since it was our first time we just picked a beer. I forgot the name but beer was nice and crisp but it was towards the end of the night and I was honestly not in the mood to drink anymore. We ordered wings and they weren't really good. Tasted very dry. Idk if you don't know how to make wings, don't put it on the menu. Would give it another chance, just wasn't too impressed this first time.

Stopped in here before the Portland Timbers home opener a week ago for a couple beers. Saw the food menu and specifically the Smashburger and wanted to come back and try it! So yesterday I returned to Vin Ebert for a couple beers and the smash burger. So let down. The server dropped the burger off and and I was extremely confused. It was not a smash burger (see image). And the flavor was OK. Could have used some more fry sauce. Perhaps I should have added the crispy onions or jalapeños. But I've had too many good smash burgers here in Portland that did not have anything added on and was hoping for the same at Von Ebert. The beer was good, the servers were kind and quick, and the atmosphere there is great before Timbers games. I will probably be back, but I will not be ordering a "Smash burger."

This pizza could not be worse. Ordered a pepperoni pizza via doordash, despite being delivered quickly it was cold and hard as 3 day old toast. Save yourself some money... go buy a frozen grocery store pizza and bake it ... cheaper, bigger, and believe it or not, tastier.

Rachel K.

Yelp
This is definitely a solid spot to stop at. They can accommodate small and larger groups and the online ordering system through your phone makes it so easy. We ended up having some beers and splitting some food. The pretzel was awesome and came with two types of cheese for dipping. Both were great. The staff were friendly too, but we didn't interact with them as much as we typically would because of the phone ordering system, it was mostly just having items dropped off at our table.

Portland is saturated with craft breweries, no doubt, with Von Ebert being part of that lot. Regardless, it is a nice environment, with delicious food and even better beer. Centrally located in the posh Pearl, it delivers on all accounts, with the missing star only because it doesn't stand out from err'thang else...

Such great staff! Probably my favorite part about this place. My fiancé and I are in town for the weekend and wanted a place to watch college football. There's plenty of TVs here and good food and beer. I loved the fresh hop beers (I ordered a couple). Very earthy and didn't taste overly hoppy. We also got the brisket sandwich and fried chicken sando. Both were delicious!

I just need a place to hang out while I am waiting while my tow truck arrive. I can order from the table, so I don't have to go to the counter and keep eyes on my car. Service was great and fires were crisp and fresh. I am not a beer drinker so I can't speak for what's good but they have many selection and also have 5oz taster size and also flight, so if you don't know what to order, you can try a couple of different things before you commit. I will come back again to try their sandwiches and their counter seats also look comfortable.

I love Von Ebert Brewing. Always a great experience and food. The establishment is clean and well maintained. We visited on Saturday morning and sat at the bar. The bartender was very nice. We ordered a spicy Bloody Mary which is REALLY spicy but I loved it. We also ordered the burger week special Smoked burger patty topped with caramelized onion BBQ sauce, pimento cheese spread, and crispy onions. The burger was well balanced which is amazing when you pair BBQ sauce with pimento. The BBQ can quickly over power the pimento. The burger wad delicious. Von Ebert has participated in Portland Burger week in the past and always does an amazing job.

"We've got a big group. Where should we eat?" "Von Ebert!" This is a great communal restaurant with excellent beer options and hearty food. It's an easy choice for large groups and it's a fun spot to meet others. Orders and payment is processed through a QR code for your phone, which makes for an easy experience and when you do go up to the bar, the bartenders are always very helpful providing recommendations and samples of beer.

Popped in here to catch up with a friend over beers and food. It'd been several yrs since I'd been to PDX and even longer since I'd be down in the Pearl district. Last time I was here it was still Fat Heads and really the interior was not much different. We sat at the bar and got friendly and attentive service throughout the visit. I had a couple flights of their plentiful offerings and my buddy ordered full draft pours. Food wise I went with the wings and a side salad. Really impressed with the way the wings came out, although when I asked for a little more hot sauce I got brought either a diff one or a very diff batch. Overall cool place, good vibes, solid beers and tasty food. Would come back again.

I'm always a fan of this location for Von Ebert. The building is cool, the space is large and can accommodate big groups, the beer is good, and the food is tasty. We came here before a concert this last weekend, and it was lovely. I had the Modern Citrus Pils, and I LOVED it. I also ordered the pretzel, and they crushed it. Soft, salty, chewy - everything you can hope for in a pretzel! This is a great spot for crowds or just for you - good brews and good snacks!

Michael D.

Yelp
We made a quick stop here on our way back to Washington from Bend. The beer is cold, well-priced and delicious. The giant pretzel is a must if you're in a group. The smash burger was just ok, but the menu is large and I'd love to come back and try more beer and food!

Yelp
Came here for Pizza, and I can understand why they are closing. It felt uninspired, plain and lackluster. We were really excited to try it out, and it sounded delish. The service was good, but the pizza was supposed to be Chicken, bacon, and alfredo. It tasted like someone whispered the word alfredo near it, each slice we got had exactly one piece of small chicken on it, and if there was bacon on it, It was there in spirit. Really disappointed. Giving it a two star because the service was friendly and reasonably quick.

Me and my girl came here for burger week. I've never been before and I've always wanted to come cause she always told me the wings were awesome. So well she wasn't lying these wings were amazing they fell off the bone they had char like they just came right off a grill. I'm not really impressed with the burger but it's a burger week burger meaning it's not really on the menu so I can't really judge that. The beer sector 7 was good im a big time hazy fan so that's always a win. Von ebert is most definitely a place to be downtown.

We were in Portland for a show and originally planned on having Thai food but we had just spent a long day doing garden work and wanted something heartier so some pub food sounded like it would hit the spot. My wife ordered a Carolina pulled pork sandwich and I ordered the fried chicken sandwich with the original Vietnamese slaw. I was surprised how plain the Vietnamese slaw was. No kick, no tang, just a little coleslaw crunch. My wife enjoyed her Carolina pork sandwich much more than I enjoyed the chicken sandwich. Fries and tots were grade A! One thing I wanted to note is that you will find a wide range of reviews about this place and I think I know why. We went in hoping for sort of a toned brewpub with good beer and a pleasant, casual dining experience. What we got was an enormous sports bar with typical bar food and a huge beer lineup. There is essentially zero interaction with the staff due to the scan menu system. There were lots of games on and as others have indicated it is a great place for big groups and there were a couple very big, very loud groups, cheering enthusiastically for whatever game they were watching. Seems like it would be a great place to watch a game. I was reluctant to give my email just to look at the digital menu though I did go ahead and do that but then had a problem paying electronically so I ended up going up to the bar anyhow to order. I think this is another reason for the disparity in ratings. Some people really like the simplicity of electronic ordering in their dining experience. We like saying hello to our server and catching their eye when we run out of water, etc. Once the food is dropped I feel like you're pretty much on your own unless you want to order something else from the electronic menu. Probably the five star reviews and the three star reviews are both accurate for the person who left them. If you read some of the yelp reviews before dining you won't be surprised and hopefully your expectations will be met!

Huge bar, lots of seats. Ginger beer is great - very flavorful. Spacious, airy, high ceilings, lots of tvs. Serves food as well.

Dropped by just for some drinks but I'm already ready to go back for their food. Enjoyed my Prickly Pear Guava Seltzer on a nice Summer days. The bite of their Giant Pretzel I got to try was so delicious. The pretzel was piping hot and fresh and their cheese and mustard dips were 10/10. A friend's Fried Chicken Sandwich also looked A+. They're all aboard the online ordering and payment so don't expect too much interactions with the staffs. Place is HUGE too so bring friends and have a nice time!

When you find yourself in Portland on a beautiful day and think "a burger and a beer sounds great" this is your place. I ventured over, tried the lager, smashburger and omg truffle fries (the omg being my add). It could have not tasted better on an afternoon I played hooky for lunch. I also tried a Belgian beer on tap-not sure you could go wrong with any selection. I was weary of the QR-only ordering but it was flawless and I found the server running my food to be very considerate and friendly.

Super chill environment, great service, good food. Perfect spot to watch a game. Visiting Portland we stopped here in the afternoon to watch some baseball games and get a few beers. The menu looked very tasty so we wanted to try it out. The staff is super friendly and you get to sit wherever you want, we picked a place by the TVs a little off to the side because we brought our child. The food was really tasty. I got a pulled pork sandwich which I would highly recommend. My wife tried some pierogies. She's a pirogi purist, and these are a little bit more deconstructed so they weren't exactly what we were looking for but they are still interesting and a good option. And we tried a few samplings of some different beers. Definitely refreshing local drafts that I would recommend.

Sonya T.

Yelp
Our friend recommended Von Ebert as the best IPA he's ever had, and we agree. Every time we're in town, we come to Von Ebert for their Volatile Substance IPA, which is a classic hoppy all-around IPA. There's a few big screen TVs, making it a decent stop to catch some football games. Overall, a laid back atmosphere serving up delicious beer.

Pretty good unhealthy food KBBQ Tots were my fave with Gochujang sauce on it - get this! steak bites - perfectly cooked pieces of steak on argula Tots were perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, i liked the sauce from the KBBQ tots so much I used the regular ones in the sauce too Hummus and Pita - fluffy pita with creamy hummus Chicken Tenders on Fries with Cheese and Ranch (they call this poutine, it's not even close....) it was really good bar food Large Pretzel, it's chewy like a large pretzel should be

Von Ebert is a great brewery to spend some time at! Background: In Portland for the first time and I definitely wanted to visit some breweries. I was drawn to Von Ebert's food menu specifically the smoked Wings and pizza. My friend and I headed over around 12:30 on Friday the 25th of February. Atmosphere: Very cool space with lots of room. Exposed beams, tvs , beer tank, and lots of wood. Just a really cool brewery Atmosphere. Beer: We started off with a flight that included 2 Hazy Ipas, a Double Ipa, and 2 Regular Ipas. They were all delicious. I then had 2 more Hazy Ipas. Food: We got smoked wings with hot sauce on the side, fries, and a pepperoni pizza. Wings yad a great smoked flavor. I wish the hot sauce was a bit more spicy. Pizza was great. Should mention the Wings aren't your typical Buffalo Wing appetizer in terms of Wings size. They give you big whole Wings instead if 10 to 12 smaller ones. Ordering Process/Service: All orders are placed at the bar. You can pay as you go or open a tab with a credit card. We opened a tab. When you want more beer or food just go back up and put it on your tab. Bartender was quick and friendly. When you order food they give you a number to take to your table and your food is delivered when ready. Easy game. Beer to go is available. Final Thoughts: Great beer and food. Really enjoyed my time here. Many brewries in Portland, but I'd definitely recommend Von Ebert and return here myself.

Bar hoppin' in the Pearl. Onion Rings $12 ~ gotta say fried so good each time. Weird how we come here for the o rings. Beer ~ the Pils was pretty fair & Drink Me Potion a tolerable tart. Service ~ you know how we all have developed senses and vibes if they are not smiling behind the mask? Disgruntled demeanor ~ short with words, slumped and leaning back on the counter. No energy to serve customers.

Great brewery and atmosphere. What drew us here is that it's family friendly. We tried this brewery our first night staying in the Pearl district and we absolutely loved it. Honestly better than Deschutes because they burgers and pizza, plus more. Pizzas are small and spends, but definitely delicious and fresh. Beer was a great compliment paired with our pizza. We got a beer flight and I picked most fruity beers. I like the drink me potion and table buster which had berry notes to both. The Italian pizza was supposed to come with arugula but it came with some weird looking leaves. I still ate it but it wasn't arugula.

Visited Portland in June, came here with family we were a large group and got sat down fast, service was fast and excellent pizza, burgers and beer was tasty. the friend were so amazingly delicious whatever seasoning they use it is good. i wish we had this place in California. would defiantly come back if im back in Portland. my husband said hed go back to Portland just to come here.

**This review is for the beer only** We stopped in to grab beer and had a fun time. It was a flight for me and a pint for my husband. You get to choose 5 beers in a flight, I chose the Sector IPA, Wolf Summoner, Stuber Tuff, Volatile Substance and A Boat with No Name (all of these are IPAs). The beer was just okay, I didn't have a favorite that stood out to me in my flight. Before you leave you can check out the areas to take beer home or purchase merchandise.

Okay, wow! Wonderful food! Got the Clubhaus Brat Plate, Fried Chicken Sando, & Small VEB Haus Salad. The brats were crispy on the outside & so tender on the inside, I devoured every bite & the salad was equally delicious. My husband reports the fried chicken sando is top 10 on his chicken sandwich list.

Three of us went in on a Saturday afternoon. It was busy, but not so busy that it should have taken 45 minutes to get a slice of pizza. This was, sadly, after we'd already waited a half hour for a round of beers. We were seated less than 20 feet from the bar. I live close enough that this should be my local, but there's some sort of issue everytime I go. I really want them to be better. The Clubhaus Lager is pretty tasty, though. Just not tasty enough to wait that long for.

Outdoor seating area was nice. Tables we're clean and outdoor music was relaxing. We didn't order food this time around just two beers. Happy hour is $1 off. We will come back to try out the menu.

Love menu specials (chick wings, pizza) also hummus plate. Beer is amazing that's for sure.

We came in for happy hour looking for beer and fries because one of my local family members came during the summer and remembered the fries being really good. We were disappointed to find out that they don't serve fries anymore - now they offer house fried chips. We tried the Parmesan aioli chips and thought it had too much aioli drowning the chips, the beer cheese dip with chips didn't have enough dip for our group. You'd think we were Goldilocks or something?! All in all, service was great from the bartender and the rest of the staff. The space is huge and makes it easy to spread out. They have plenty of swag for sale, a doggo in the office window upstairs and lots of beer choices that deliver.

Yelp
We came here to check up their beer since they won so many awards. Honestly I don't know how they got so many awards. The beer that we tried was average. When we entered this place, we smelled yeast or beer smell. Some of area was still closed. I didn't get a good vibe. The service was friendly and nice tho.

Tara R.

Yelp
Huge space, friendly staff and deliciois beer! It was my first time stopping in and they have their system down pretty well. It is self seating at any of the clean tables. You head up to the bar to order after checking out the menu via the QR code. I didn't realize I was stopping here until I passed it on my walk back. I wish I saved room for food because the menu looks great and the food passing me looks amazing. I tried their flagship hazy IPA. I really enjoyed it and would totally drink it again.

Jen V.

Yelp
Von Ebert is such a yummy and awesome brewery. I'm a big lager and Pilsner fan so I really appreciate that they had several options to choose from. Michelada's are also a fave so it was awesome that I could do it as an add on. The food was also incredible - they're not joking when they call their pretzel giant. The bacon ricotta pizza was a bit too lemon forward for me - the dough, sauce, and toppings were all amazing so I'd definitely order a pizza again - the lemon forward just wasn't my style. I look forward to coming back in the future.

I've had the pizza, wings, and the pretzel and I am in love with all of the above. Order extra beer cheese

Good beer. Good food. Great crowd. Casual environment and no pretense. Would return if ever back in PDX.

Smith Q. J.

Von Neberts I've been here a few times, never ever my choice, and the food was never ever great. Which is fine, I don't like great food, just decent food only please. C'mon, I'm not a snob. I just enjoy the process of paying to put food in my mouth. But that being said I'm kind of shocked that this place, one of the biggest, if not the biggest restaurants (square footage wise) downtown, is still in business because a lot of people don't settle for almost decent food here in food town, unlike me, they prefer great food. Must be the beer? Let me give you some free advice. Be very careful checking out ratings of breweries. The beer may be good but food might be not so good. I would wager that almost any good ratings on food in the brewery would be because things taste better when you're drunk. If you are sober or slightly sober and want good food, maybe avoid most breweries? This time around we had to scan the code to use the menu, which for years I would avoid the scanning nonsense if I was alone out eating somewhere, and just go to another restaurant, but you can't really escape scanning codes in Portland nowadays, but now to order at Fon Eberts, you not only scan a code, you have to put in your name and phone number to order. I did it because I was with friends, and so they (Bun Ebert's) now have my phone number, but the website didn't even work for me anyway, and the server only came to our table maybe once in 30 minutes, which is totally fine, we didn't look rich, so I understand they needed to avoid us. Fair enough. But seems Von Berberts that you gave two options to us for ordering: 1. A broken robot and 2. A broken human. Fix your stuff. We weren't there during a busy time but the service was probably the worst I've experienced in quite a while, which personally I really like that so that was fine. No complaints here. It's kind of fun and you don't have to get conversations interrupted by the server when they leave you alone the whole time. The server lady (probably in her 30's, in a blue T-shirt and had long hair) took about 15 minutes before coming to our table originally - brought water, said nothing, didn't smile and left. It's Portland and she's working a not great job in downtown Portland, so it makes sense to me that she hates it there. Fair enough. And also, a lot of tourists don't realize this but to get a job in certain businesses in Portland you have to be annoyed, not like an act, you actually have to be annoyed, it's just a requirement, so I never take it personally. I was told wings were one of their specialties so I got their super-dried-out super-flavorless half-burnt wings, and I ate them and the not so fresh celery, which I didn't know it was possible for celery, one of the grossest foods of all time, to taste any worse. How long in the lab did it take to concoct that creation? Did you replace chefs with scientists trying to figure out how to make food even worse? I tried to throw it up but forgot how, so I just digested it while I went to a different restaurant to get my official dinner of the night (second time is the charm) that wasn't made by babies playing around in a kitchen. I'm not a snob, I like not the process of putting not great food in my mouth but my stupid body was rejecting it - not your problem Com Eberts, just mine. And then at the other restaurant i went to afterwards I was googling how to get this out of my stomach. Don't get me wrong, I actually love bad food (was joking, obviously babies weren't cooking, probably were at least in elementary school) and I also love bad service, but what I can't handle, nay, won't handle, is giving my contact info out to every darn place I go. For that (having to give you my phone number to order food that I'm going to purposely purge, because it wasn't worth the calories) and that only, I'm docking 4.5 stars out of my 10. Meaning, I give Don Perverts 5.5 stars out of 10. Will never eat here again... it even with a gift certificate, however I will definitely use their bathroom... and by use it I mean I'm REALLY gonna use it... Knocked off another star because they had the previous review deleted... 4.5 stars out of 10

My husband and I had a pleasant dining experience at Von Ebert. We ordered the Sausage + Peppers Pie and the Smoked Brisket Sandwich with truffle aioli french fries. The food was your average standard bar food which hit the spot. Who doesn't love fried potatoes covered in cheese :) The portions are also very large so we had enough for another meal for both of us. The beers were decent. Amongst the vast selection of breweries in Portland, I would rank Von Ebert smack dab in the middle tier. Also just a note: I'm not sure if they are short-staffed because of COVID, but you do have to go to the bar to order both your drinks and food. They bring your order to your table when the food is ready but there is no server walking around to help.

Nice place! Huge venue with plenty of seating, good beer and a friendly staff...located in Pearl District; North West Portland. The first thing that stood out to me was the size of the venue, with ample amount of seating available we had no problem getting a big table for our party. Von Ebert is very family friendly as well. If I recall correctly, my friends kids were provided with coloring pages, pencils and even they even had a kids menu. On to the foodie adventures... ~ Hail The Boar - 4/5 Delicious hearty pork sandwich, even though it doesn't look like much. I ordered a salad but got Tater Tots instead. The friendly staff rectified the situation by bringing me a separate side salad. Gotta say the Tots were perfectly done...sooo...no real complaints! ;-) ~ Smoked Bone Marrow - 3/5 I was expecting sooo much from this one. I'm a big Bone Marrow fan! Perhaps I already had a preconceived flavor in my head. I thought the Onion Marmalade was simply too sweet...it overpowered everything and I could barley taste the Chimichurri sauce. Absolutely not what I was expecting. ~ Brewer's Choice - 4/5 A great way to taste a variety of beers. I didn't have the luxury of going drinking this evening, so I settled for a sampler and tried a few different beers. The staff was friendly, accommodating and helpful. It was a slow evening, so several people took turns waiting on us...which felt a bit confusing at times. While they got a few things wrong, nothing was cringe worthy nor did it severely disrupt our evening. I'll definitely return. Can't wait to try the rest of their beers and other food items from the menu. Cheers!!

Always a good beer! Especially like the lighter options and Avon Ebert pulls through.

One thing I love about Von Ebert is how great they are for groups. We came in a group of 11, and there were plenty of seating options for us. You order everything from the QR code at the table, which makes it very easy to split checks. The only bummer about this is. It means there is no one coming to check on you as you're eating your food so we never got a refill on water or had anyone to bring us extra condiments or anything. I got the brisket sandwich and honestly I didn't think it was anything to write home about. However, others got the fried chicken sandwich, pretzel, tots, and brats and all enjoyed it.

Great brews, great drafts and other synonyms!! The bar tenders were absolutely cool. Knowledgeable? Heck yes, one of them translated the Koran for me. Very informative and surprising! They honestly were so jovial and proud of the brewery and their work there, it was a pleasure. Their gold star (oh you'll hear about it) IPA; Volatile Substance, is off the charts. Truly. That beer alone on draft is with the trip. The other beers range from dark chocolate ales to modern tropical pilsners- but these guys do the traditional stuff best- elevating and standing on the shoulders of IPAs and ales past, lagers with hope for the future. Definitely the gem of Portland, as far as hazy afternoons go. A must visit. -the oyg

Usually when I go to a brewery, I come for the beer and not the food, but Von Ebert is the exception! I was pleasantly surprised with everything I ordered and it tasted great! The fried chicken sandwich with fries was super crispy, and the flavors and textures really came together. The bun was toasted perfectly and it didn't get too soggy. The pork belly wraps might have been my favorite too! The meat was really tender and flavorful, and paired with the fresh veggies, sauce, and kimchi made it a great wrap. The pizza was good as well, with the crust being crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The sausage and peppers on this really made the pizza great! I also got a beer flight and the bartender was super helpful in helping me choose my selection since I'm often indecisive. I would highly recommend coming here and checking it out! They also have a great system when it comes to social distancing an COVID precautions, making this dining experience really great for me.

Great beer and service. I was a little hesitant about the QR code ordering but it worked great and the server was super friendly. Cool atmosphere on a warm spring day. The pork belly wrap appetizer was SO good, just yummy.
