It's also apparent in the drinks that they serve. Experimental, fun, and delicious. Also, great prices for craft drinks. Very much enjoyed everything we got but the Silk Sonic and Pandan Negroni were my fave. Staffs were super friendly. We talked a bunch with the bartender who exuded their love for the drinks as well. Will definitely be back for more.

Steak pieces were pretty small but full of flavor and the sauce over the whole thing was delicious. Was worried the fries would be soggy but the sauce made them better. Sopped up the sauce with the rice and fries. Amazing. Asked for a margarita to go with the meal, seemed appropriate.

That note aside, the Happy Hour menu was great, food was absolutely fantastic and the wait staff was on point! I loved the lineup of sexy NA drinks in addition to the unique cocktails and solid wine lineup. Unfortunately the acoustics were outdated as was the interior overall. It needed some freshening up for a Hilton. The outdoor seating could only accommodate groups of two which was a bummer. Those points aside, everything we sampled tasted fantastic and the wait staff made the experience fun.

We've been for both breakfast (pictures attached & speak for themselves :D) and lunch- both times were delicious! Make sure you go early enough or there's a chance they will already be sold out of something on the specials board as happened to one of the guests in our party of four. The hubby says they make a great bloody Maria with their own spices and nice veggie accompaniments. Same thumbs up for their margaritas too. Not really a place to take large groups but given their hospitality, I'm sure they would try. Best to call in advance for that need. Super friendly staff, it almost feels like you've gone to their home and treated like family. You've likely seen the place if you've driven on McLoughlin/99E as they're right on the corner but only accessed from northbound side.

You've got history, views, and just enough going on to make it interesting without turning your day into a full-blown expedition. Corner 14 itself? Dialed in. Covered seating everywhere, fire pits at nearly every table, and a massive one out front that practically dares you to grab a drink and stay awhile. Rain or shine, hot or cold, this place has you handled. It's modern, clean, and honestly punches right up there with the best food cart setups around. What used to feel a little worn now looks refreshed like it hit the reset button and came back brand new. At night, the whole place flips a switch. String lights glow, the fire pits crackle, and suddenly you're not just grabbing food--you're settling in. It's the kind of spot where you tell yourself "just one drink" and somehow end up two hours deep, debating life like a philosopher with a buzz. And the location doesn't hurt. You're right near Willamette Falls that big, roaring centerpiece of the town and just a short trip from the iconic Oregon City Municipal Elevator, which gives you sweeping views of the valley. Toss in a stroll down Main Street and you've got yourself a full outing without the headache of city traffic or a 50-block commitment. Bonus points: right across the street you can hit Oregon City Axe Throwing. So yeah grab a drink, eat something great, then go hurl sharp objects with your friends like responsible adults. I've got a soft spot for this place Thirsty Thursdays, post-work hangs, a lot of good memories baked into these fire pits. Corner 14 isn't just a food cart pod it's a go-to. Easy, fun, and just classy enough to keep you coming back.

The Muddy Rudder can hold it's head high in this arena. The interior has a great feel as an impressive log tabletop stretches out before you when one first enters. The bar is a nice, old wooden bar with the establishment giving a very warm embrace with it's rustic decor and charm. They have outside seating, both street side and in a side patio. As for the beer selection, they do a very good job curating. For example, until recently, one could almost count on there being an import beer on tap. They also do a good job of having a wide variety of styles, they have one on pull tap (if you are unfamiliar, give it a try - you will be glad you did) and they are constantly rotating with truly local brews. They also have a chalkboard which lists all the brews, their ABV and frequently the IBUs. There are 16 rotating taps. Kudos to the person running this part of the operation. As for the food, I have never been disappointed and I have eaten here frequently. I am a sucker for their strombolis. In NY, strombolis were a go-to meal at a pizzeria, but they are few and far between in the PNW. Not only does The Muddy Rudder have strombolis, they also make them in the true stromboli tradition. Do note that the pizza dough here is as close to NY as I have found in Portland, which obviously means try the pizza as well - it is very good. They then offer other food options which have also always only pleased. Do give this spot a visit - you will not be disappointed.

The prices were expected for the Sellwood area, I spent $37 on a grilled panini w/ a caesar salad plus two coffees. I got salami on the sandwich and it was pretty good, no complaints except it was kinda lacking without a tomato soup honestly. I used the aioli they put on their chicken sandwich to give it a boost and that upgraded the experience more for sure. My friend got their matcha and I chose the coconut cream cold brew. First of all... as someone who doesn't usually go for matcha, I liked it more than my own drink. Wow! That shit was yummy. I thought the cold brew was okay, nothing special, I would have liked it if the coconut flavor was better. The service was great though and the inside is very nice!
