    Black Dog Burger 5/5
    Chris C.

    Came back and this place didn't miss! We ordered the Brisket Burnt Ends and they were mouth watering tender! I really enjoyed the bacon and blue cheese burger. Service was great as always. Definitely recommend this place.

    The best filet mignon ever !!!! Paired with the best servers ever and this is one step below heaven!!

    Burnt ends and half rack combo with sweet potato fries

    We always come back for the burnt ends when we visit Forest Grove. My son attends Pacific University and this is one of his favorite spots. Portions are awesome and the BBQ is outstanding! Our service was so sweet on this visit!

    Everything was absolutely amazing. Victoria is a mixmaster. I must go back. I will go back. I am going back.

    We have heard positive comments about Blackdog Bar and Grill so we thought we would give it a try. We are really glad we did. The food is flavorful, a great value and portions are huge. My daughter had the two meats from the barbecue part of the menu...the brisket and the ribs. Both were so great and plentiful, and there are left overs to be enjoyed. She also enjoyed the mac and cheese that was served with the barbecue plate. I had the fried chicken and it was also excellent, and I also have left overs for later. We both had french fries and they were crispy and hot. The pre-dinner cocktails were also perfect, with fresh fruit as the garnish. The dining room is set-up a bit odd. There is a considerable amount of empty space when entering and the main seating area is off to the side. They also had a considerable amount of customers come in during our visit as the service was a bit slower. The house salad we ordered came with our food...but it is still a 5 star visit. The server Noel was so sweet and knowledgeable about the restaurant and the menu.

    Each and every time we have stopped in here it has been a tasty surprise. They have great drinks and lots of food options. Food prices are on the higher end of things but you aren't at Chili's either. They serve some pretty delicious items that we didn't expect. Their BBQ is decent, brisket was legit and if you are a glutton for punishment I dare you to try their chicken wings with the "Sympathy for the Devil" sauce. Service varies but overall friendly. Cheers!

Place is small and cozy. Menu is not large but had great options. Artichoke dip was amazing. Wine was great. I had fish with almonds and it was fabulous. Noodles are made fresh. Price point was perfect. Best parts, they had gluten free pita bread for husband! He normally always had to have veggies with dip. Definitely was a happy man. They subbed his Au gratin potatoes for mashed. I was not in impressed with the service as dinner went on. Be prepared for a slow meal, but what I mean is our dinner was at 730 and we went till 930, which was fine but after dinner we asked about dessert and the waitress was very... tired? Put out and said "i am sure i can dig some bread pudding up still" Mmmmm, no thanks. We went someplace else for dessert. Maybe it was just due to new year crowd through the day? I'll go back. We did enjoy our dinner. And its close to our new home.

Located in the downtown Forest Grove area, close to Pacific University. Seems like a local hangout, and now issues finding parking, as we've always found street parking in front of the place. As we entered, it wasn't very busy, and no one greeted us at the entrance. But no big deal really, as the waitress (possibility manager) sat us at a table close to the kitchen. Service was pleasant and courteous, and on-point with the water refills. The dining area was pretty large and clean. I can only imagine, pre-pandemic, how popular this place would have been. Second time here, unfortunately no a/c to cool the place down. The guy serving us busted his arse to keep the place open for business. We had small samples bites and wanted to leave. $11 Korean BBQ Boneless Wings were glazed up good and not too hot in my opinion. However, the menu offers a lot to choose from, and the pricing is reasonable. Thus far I have not been upset with any of the dishes I've ordered. Would I come back? Yes, it's still a decent spot to hang out at, so long as there's good air flow and nice weather outside.

Our service was prompt, informative, friendly and exactly how I want my sandwich cut and presented. 3. I'd rather eat here, than to go food cart, or some other fast food joints. 4. Hammerhead is celebrating 40? Congrats! 5. I did like my Cranberry Chicken Salad, though, including my fries. 6. Hubby finished his hamburger and salad, and he said they were delicious! We still look forward to staying at one of their hotels, maybe we'll do that during our 2026 Road Trip - Bend? OK, here comes the negatives: 1. We followed the GPS, and we entered the parking lot, and parked. But, we didn't see but two other cars, one all banged up. We weren't sure where the front door (or door was). We continue driving, inside their lot, and parked again. But, we didn't want to enter from the hotel, or maybe we have to enter through there, to get to the diner. At this point, we both needed to use the restroom! We kept trying on every door, maybe it's this no it's that one, wait, it's locked. Oh, no! That's another room. Finally, we found someone to help us. Honestly, I almost didn't made it! 2. We waited a long time for our ticket. I know they're short staffed. As we were almost done, they were getting more crowded. 3. Mustard & Ketchup: Shake before bringing them to our table, so they looked like they're brand new bottles. See photo below, dried up, leftover ketchup on the bottom side of the bottle. At least, wipe it clean, so we don't gross out! 4. French Fries thinly sliced, nice & crispy, but for pete's sakes, remove the two burned fries off my plate. 5. My Chicken Salad looks pretty empty along the sides. It's plump in the middle. The wheat bread looks dry! 6. We were both craving for something cold, something maybe to bring back to our car (ice cream, sundae, something like that). As we were walking back to the (side of the building) to the door back out, we spotted an ice cream freezer, and our eyes lite up. But, $8 for ice cream sandwich? Forgetaboutit! We don't really need one that bad.

The parking lot wasn't too big from where we entered from what I assumed the back of the property, maybe they have more parking on the other side. We walked by the outdoor dining area but they were not open until later on Tuesdays so we opted to dine at the Ironwork Grill with 2 toddlers. They seemed like they were short-staffed but service was still decently friendly, even though understandably a little slower. I wanted the Fig and prosciutto flatbread but they didn't have it which was disappointing. We ordered kids meal and the burger with tots costed $8.25 and did not come with a drink. I did not think it was worth that (see picture). I got the Crab and Shrimp roll originally with Cajun tots, but what came out was the soup of the day (minestrone) which I didn't mind since it's probably better for me anyway, same $1 up-charge cost. There was a good amount of crab and shrimp inside but the bread roll was dry so the soup helped. I will say that their Lunch Box Special is worth it at around $11 for a half sandwich, soup, and salad. Next time I'll get that. Generally I do think McMenamins food is a little on the pricey side and the quality can vary depending on the day or which McMenamins property you are visiting. But I would come back to this location for happy hour, movies, or other events for sure!

My eldest daughter and I called in our order carefully and clearly--I personally listened as she read everything slowly to make sure it was correct. Despite that, we got home and found multiple items missing. We picked up the food around 8:05, and by the time we realized the issue and came back, it was about 8:12. The lights were on and employees were clearly still there, so there was no reason to assume they were closed, especially given how unclear their hours are. My daughter went back calmly--CALMLY--just asking for a refund or for the order to be fixed. Instead of helping, Alexis came to the window aggressive from the start, yelling, blaming us, and refusing to take any responsibility. She even had the nerve to say we should have checked the order in the parking lot. That is NOT the customer's job. It got even worse when Alexis started accusing my daughter of recording, when she was simply taking a photo of her incorrect food. The entire situation was handled in the most hostile, defensive, and unprofessional way imaginable. Yes, restaurants make mistakes--that's not the issue. It's the disgusting attitude and treatment that followed. This kind of behavior should not be tolerated in any business. Completely inappropriate, completely unacceptable. 1/5. I will never come back.
