Enjoying the summer brews and each other!
Jacque C.

Recently ate here again!! I e moved to Battleground from Arizona and remembered a great meal I had there many years ago! Nice to see things don't change- great friendly service, delicious food and a funky atmosphere outside. I LOVED the fish & Chips- was pleasantly surprised that it was made with Steelhead!! Outstanding!! Will be a new favorite place!

My wife's parents were the first to mention this place to us. They had been in the area a little while back for an event and stopped here, later telling us how much they enjoyed it. Based on their recommendation, we decided to make it one of the stops on our exploration of the area. Parking was easy to find--we were able to grab a spot right on the street close to the front entrance. From the moment we walked inside, the atmosphere pulled us in. The decor immediately stood out with its forest and nature-inspired theme. It has a rustic, almost park-like charm, with accents that give a nod to the outdoors and even a touch of mountain biking or adventure culture woven into the details. It felt cozy yet lively, the kind of space that makes you want to linger for a while. We chose a table near the front window, which gave us a nice view and plenty of natural light. Menus and waters were brought over quickly, and the service throughout our visit was attentive without being rushed. As we looked over the menu, we were impressed by the variety--there seemed to be something for everyone, from hearty comfort food to lighter, creative dishes. My wife decided on the pear and blue cheese salad topped with steak bites, while I went for the bacon burger, opting to skip the garlic aioli and tomato. While we waited, we enjoyed talking about the rest of our day's plans, but it wasn't long before our meals arrived. The presentation was spot-on--everything looked fresh and inviting. My wife's salad was colorful and beautifully put together, with generous pieces of steak that paired perfectly with the sweet pear and tangy blue cheese. My burger was just as good as it looked: juicy, flavorful, and well-balanced with the smoky bacon. Each bite was satisfying, and it was clear that the ingredients were fresh and prepared with care. We left feeling very happy with our choice. It was a great stop, and while the food alone was enough to make the visit worthwhile, we also noticed the large selection of beers on tap that we didn't get a chance to try this time. That just gives us another reason to return. Next time, we'll definitely pair the meal with a beer flight or two. Overall, this place checked all the boxes: welcoming atmosphere, great service, delicious food, and plenty left to explore on the menu. A spot worth coming back to for sure.

Seafood special. Amazing deal for the price of 25$

Ive been here over a few dozen times and no matter what it's been phenomenal. In the middle of COVID with only one worker working. Currently at full staff. The food is always aolid solid. There's been no point we were dissatisfied. The Inside is freaking adorable. We've had everything on the menu it's been amazing.

Burger, fries and wings.
Robert K.

Hailey is the best waitress and very sweet as well. $18.00 for the burger and $3.50 for the the fries. So $21.50 total. The burger there on the buns are very thin. I had not been there in about a year. They burgers seemed to be thinner and smaller and the price is higher than when I was there last time. I ordered the burger medium and it came out well done. Oh well. They were really nice to cut the burger in half for us since we said we were splitting it. I guess my question is if the chef knows the burger is supposed to be medium and he/she cut it in half wouldn't you think the chef would notice that it's well done as opposed to way I ordered it as medium. The burger was so sloppy with all the lettuce, onion and the sauce they put on it that I could not eat it as my hands were covered in drippy watery sauce. So I just took the meat off of the bun and ate the meat and left the bun and veggies on the plate. The wings were not as good as I remember either. I was really craving their wings too. But I was disappointed with the mango and kung pao wings. It seems like they have been going with a different supplier for their wings. Just not as great as I was hoping or nearly as good as they used to be. The beers were good tho. Happy hour is 2-4 so we just missed it. The place was packed too. I might give this place another try on another year. The double burger at Wendy's is a better deal for half the price.

Pub Platter
Mary R.

The beer was pretty good! The space is casual and comfortable. The service was good if a bit harried. That said, it was super busy. The food took forever and the coating on my fish and chips was burnt tasting. The pub platter was good but the cheese sauce was broken. We might go back for the beer but not the fish and chips.

Kids Mac n cheese with fries
Leslie S.

Barrel Mountain Brewing has an old wooden rustic vibe inside. It feels kind of dark and has vintage decor. There's bar seating, regular and hightop tables, and outdoor patio tables. We went at dinner time and were seated immediately. We ordered the shaved Brussel sprouts, the bacon burger, the kids Mac n cheese, and the luv ya lager. The shaved Brussel sprouts are not something I would order again. They were drenched in oil and lacked flavor. The bacon burger was delicious. The garlic aioli added a nice flavor. I would have liked the burger a little less cooked so that it would be more juicy. The brioche bun was soft and fresh. The Mac n cheese was creamy. The flavor was great and I would get this again too. The luv ya lager was a nice refreshing light beer. Service at Barrel Mountain was great too. I enjoyed my visit here and would return!

Steelhead Tacos and Steelhead Fish & Chips
Michael D.

OMG. One of the best meals we've had in a long time. We split the Steelhead Tacos and Fish & Chips. I honestly can't decide which was more delicious! The Fish & Chips had the most perfect batter ever. It was thin and crispy with amazing flavor from the beer and spices used that elevated the fish without overpowering. The fish itself was juicy and tender easily breaking apart with just a slight push down of the fork. The tartar sauce was sooo unique; it had a hint of heat from the peppers but still hit all the relish notes you'd want and expect. The fries were shoestring style and amazing. Crispy shell with a soft center and super salty and not greasy at all. I've never eaten so many fries from a single dish in my life. We got the garlic aioli on the side for the fries and it was dynamite! Finally, the tacos were so delightful. Again, the fish was cooked perfectly with a nice blackened sear from Cajun seasoning which had just the right amount of heat. It is paired with creamy, sweet, and tangy toppings including a pineapple salsa, slaw, and a crema of some sort that left my mouth watering for more! Oh, and their beer is great. lol But that shouldn't be a surprise. I love the No Bad Days IPA which is widely available in the PNW. Tonight I tried the Unplug IPA which was a West Coast style with big hoppy and fruity flavors. Our waitress was so sweet and very attentive. The inside of the restaurant is very kitschy and cute. They have a dog-friendly patio, but it was raining, so he stayed in the camper tonight and took a nap to recover from hiking. But in sunny weather, the patio looks so relaxing to sit in. Can't wait to come back.

These chicken lettuce wraps were ridiculous... seriously. You won't be disappointed!!
Mac M.

Service was slow at first but they absolutely made up for it as time went by- they were very busy. Food was truly next level. I love the outdoor space and ambiance.

Fish and Chips.
Gary Q.

I have been tasting fish and chips around the Pacific Northwest for a few years as part of a project to find the best of the best. Way back in the late 1990's is I had some salmon fish and chips at a place called the Malahat Mountain Inn near Victoria, British Columbia, that knocked my socks off. That place is sadly no longer with us, but I have been trying to find some that rise to that standard. A few notable entries in the best of list: Trillium Cafe in Hood River: They used to have dreamy albacore tuna fish and chips. Their new version is still very good, but the albacore was slightly better. I still recommend them. The Salt Hotel and Pub in Ilwaco, Washington: Tender, flaky, and crispy with killer fries. Gracie's Sea Hag in Depoe Bay, Oregon: A little more pedestrian, but still yummy. My favorite used to be the Rose and Thistle in Portland, but new ownership and a different recipe dethroned them as the kings of the craft. Enter Barrel Mountain Brewing in Battle Ground, Washington, with its woodsmoke tinged dining room, and friendly staff. Barrel Mountain Brewing takes fish and chips to a higher level than I've tasted since Malahat Mountain. They use steelhead trout, which is like salmon, but milder. The batter was crispy, not doughy, and with no oil flavor. It stayed crispy through the meal, which is very important. The fish was perfectly cooked, tender and flaky. While the steelhead is slightly less flavorful than salmon, they were not afraid to let is taste like fish. There is nothing worse than fish and chips that have no fish flavor. The tartar sauce was savory and herbal, not cloying and sweet. I did not have to doctor it with lemon, salt and pepper like at some places. I've had excellent fish ruined by a sugary tartar sauce. The coleslaw was not too sweet. It had an unusual flavor, but not in a bad way. I liked it, but it was the weak part of the meal. The fries were thin and crispy with lots of crunchy bits to savor. They pass the salt test (needing only salt as a flavoring, even as they cool down). Many fries get soggy, need ketchup to mask diminishing flavor. I added nothing that did not come on the plate, not even salt. That's a first. The foundations of my fish and chips edifice have been shaken. A new order has emerged. These were the best I've had. Give them a try. Make a pilgrimage if you have to.

Steak nachos $24 and worth it

Love the food here. It's amazing. The service is great and the ambiance is fun and rustic.

Stinky rose frites.
David A.

This place is always a perfect stop while headed to Costco or Trader Joe's. The food is awesome, staff courteous and funny. Atmosphere and people are great. Will continue to come back.

Chili pineapple wings
Megan H.

Honestly I was hesitant to try this place. It's small it's quaint but the food outshined all my thoughts and expectations. We tried the bacon cheese burger and the prairie burger. We also had the chili pineapple wings and a beer flight. It was $67 before tip but honestly the quality made it so worth it. The wings were perfection. Coated in sauce but still crispy. The heat level was great and the pineapple really added to it. Also they were some of the meatiest wings I've had. The burgers were cooked perfectly with actually crispy bacon!? Amazing! Their house kettle chips are great too. My dude got the salad and it was fantastic - I'd eat an entree size in a heartbeat. It's small, it's cute, make sure to get their at a decent time as tables fill up fast. Highly recommend!!!

Great service, great drinks, and the best pizza I've had in decades!…read more The beers Backwoods makes are all delicious and smooth-drinking. The service staff was all exceptional. But the pizza! Off the charts!, FULL REVIEW of all Services: If anyone who enjoys hiking, river fishing, or just a general outdoor-focused vacation wants a good, simple getaway with their spouse/loved one, check out the Backwoods brand in Carson, Washington (just north-northeast of Bridge of the Gods/Cascades Locks). Backwoods Cabins offers a really great overnight stay option. The 8 cabins there are all basic "two-room" designs (bedroom and attached bathroom, and a living room / mini-kitchen room). The cabins sport king-sized beds, a gas fireplace and outdoor fire, a mini kitchen with refrigerator/freezer and microwave (no stove/range). I think 3 of the 8 cabins welcome dogs. The Backwoods brand also owns Backwoods Brewery, which is just across the road from the cabin property. They have great microbrew beers (from light lagers to GREAT stouts!). The brewery also has a smokehouse, with fantastic smoked brisket, pulled pork, and house-made sausage/brats. But even better, the Backwoods Brewery offers the BEST PIZZA I've had in decades. The pizza dough is a perfect balance of flavor and texture. It's not too thin and not too thick. The crust is chewy in the middle, with a great crusty edge and base. The red sauce (they also have a white sauce we didn't try) is thick and rich, with a few tomato chunks. It's got a slight spicy bite with a sweet finish. They also have some unique house pizzas. We tried the Whistle Punk - Red sauce, bacon, smoked brisket, peppadew peppers, sweet onions, fresh mozzarella rounds - and the Pepperoni Express - Red sauce, pepperoni, mushrooms, tomatoes, banana peppers, smoked mozzarella. Both were outstanding. I'd go so far as to say both Donna and I deemed these the best pizzas we've had in 35+ years (noting that our first date was at a pizza joint in Fife we both thought was the best-ever pizza). If you stay in the Backwoods Cabins, you get two coupons for free drinks at the brewery (beer/wine/cider/cocktails) as well as an assortment of snacks for your hiking adventures, and a full S'mores kit to use over the gas fire pit. And if you are in a dog-friendly cabin, you get complimentary treats, and water/food bowls for your canines.

Gluten free review:…read more Came here after a hike because I believe in balance, climb a hill, eat a pizza. Thrilled they had gluten-free options. Tried the Tree Hugger 10" GF pizza and it was genuinely tasty. The crust? So good. The staff? Kind. The price? About $20, which felt a little "ouch," but the pizza did not, and that's what matters. The place was fun and great ambiance. Take a fun trip and go try this place out.

Beautiful view outside seatings with fire pit, so we sat outside and enjoyed the view and company. I had a beer flight with their popular, tasty, and colorful beers.

However, there was still service, thankfully. So, you grab a couple menus, go sit down and discuss your options. Once you know what you want, you go back to the bar, order, and they bring it out to your table. So, there *is service. Food was good! I had some fancy strawberry salad, and some homemade pretzels that were awesome! Both my sister and my mother had burgers, and they seemed happy with their choices. My one issue, which is no big deal really, is their up-charge for ordering a kid's burger for someone other than a kid... My mother is 89 years old, she can't put away a large burger, she wants something small. So, if we're pricing the burger based on its size, why does it matter who's eating it? ‍ To charge extra seems dishonest... I even pointed it out to the guy at the bar that it's for my 89-year-old mother, but did he care? Apparently not ‍ Nevertheless, that issue aside, it's a nice place for lunch. I think you'll enjoy the food as well. Prost!

I'll start this review off by saying that I love Cathlamet. It's a quaint little historic town…read morewith a rich history and really nice people. I've been visiting here a dozen times a year for four decades. There are a few eateries here. Many seem to come and go although there are a couple that have survived the test of time. RM38 is a newcomer... used to be in a small building with VERY limited hours. I gather their main biz was brewing craft beer for a very small clientele of businesses and the "saloon" was mostly a side hustle to help pay the rent. So I see they moved into new digs down at the marina. I won't take off any stars for the following since this seems to be their new business model: Offering uber-expensive, skimpy portions of not especially tasty food targeted to yuppies who have more money than brains. Suffice to say that you won't see many Bikers hanging out here. The good: Their patio has a nice river view and a pleasant breeze. Sitting out there enjoying a cold one on a hot Summer day is very pleasant. And during the Fall too so long as it's not raining. People complain about the lack of parking which is not an issue when you show up on a motorcycle. But there are LOTS of places to park although you may have to walk a few yards... you poor darlings. Staff is less than amazing but they are always courteous towards me. I suppose I am no more their dream customer than they are my dream hangout. But Bikers tend to be very generous tippers so they might want to keep that in mind. There's one long-established watering hole in Cathlamet but it's a dark, indoor venue. I like it there and it's more of a dive bar with very good food. The thing about Cathlamet is that if you are just an occasional visitor you have many options of where to stop for a meal and/or drink and never get bored. There's also a few good places at the other end of the ferry ride in Westport, Oregon. Hard to say how long RM38 will stay in business. I'm actually surprised that they lasted in their original location for so long considering that they were only open for a few hours during the weekend. It would be great if they quit pretending to be an upscale eatery and instead focused on providing a good value, tasty, filling meal for the money. Again, no minus stars for that but until new management comes along and makes some changes it will just be a pint or two for me and i'm on my way. Of course as always YMMV.
