The host was very rude when we arrived with a big party. We brought in a burger from outside for my grandson and they kicked us out even though we had 8 other people who would be eating there. In addition, the sushi food truck made a rude comment to one of our party when she asked whether the tofu salad was tofu on lettuce when he replied "that's what a salad isn't it"?. So rude, I will never go back there. They don't even deserve one star. Half of the food trucks were closed, it said nothing about it on their website. read more

My meal came out 45 minutes after everyone else at my table for some reason, and it did not taste good.

I'll never understand places that offer delivery, yet don't make sure the order is correct. We ordered from this spot tonight and were disappointed. While the side salads we got were fresh and tasty, the main dishes were both a bust! First and foremost, the chicken sandwich we ordered was switched for another sandwich, so the special requests were completely ignored. Unfortunately (because of food allergies) it was therefore inedible. We also got chicken wings that were tough (?!) and not very tasty. Based on this experience, we won't be ordering from here again. read more

We came in for an afternoon drink. Ambiance is like a casual chill brewery. Service was good. You order via QR code. We got a flight of beer, and everything was good, but nothing special. It was nice variety with 6 different beers. We will have to be back for food next time. read more

Breakside Brewery - Beer flight - American Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Great place to try the beer. Lots of interesting selections, and a six-serving flight is the best way to try them. The menu descriptions are incredibly accurate, capturing every ale to a tee. All the IPAs are insanely bitter, and descriptions like "dank" and "marijuana" are on the nose. There's also a Pilsner that tastes like a textbook Pilsner and a passion fruit sour that finishes like fruit juice. All super creative and they really go all out with their flavors. Food comes in generous portions, perfect for drinking with; Bavarian Pretzel, Chicken Tenders, Cheeseburger, etc. Come for the brews. Every sip will make you think! read more

Stop in during the week for a late lunch. Options were to order at the table with an app or go up to the bar. I chose the bar as I find that much easier because online you can't normally make accommodations or substitutions. Bar staff was not very friendly or welcoming. Ordered an appetizer of the blue waffle fries, the ahi burger with minestrone soup, and the daily special a quinoa tofu bowl. Was told they were out of the special. Ordered a blackened chicken salad instead. Fries were cold and not good. Ahi was good and had a lot of flavor. I would get it again. Soup was ice cold and lacking in flavor. I pretty much just ate the noodles out of it. The blackened chicken was extremely overcooked and very dry. Even with the side of ranch it was not appetizing and not edible. Decided to order a sampler beer tray and went back to the bar. The first three beers I picked from her their list she stated they were out of. Pretty disappointing with a small list to begin with. Overall experience was extremely plain and nothing stood out for a return trip. Plenty of other places to eat, good luck with your experience. read more

Great spot for beers. They have inside and outside seating. Super high ceilings so it feels really spacious. You can order drinks and food via QR code on the table. read more

Good drinks, great food, good vibes, good peeps, good patio, reasonable prices. Easy rating! We came straight from a tasting at Bull Run Distillery, and I wanted a proper pour of their whiskey. So I was relieved to find that this very beer-centric spot also had a few whiskeys on hand. (Liquor laws are typically insanely corrupt and harm distilleries, and Oregon is no exception. Bull Run was allowed to sell me a flight but couldn't sell me a proper pour of a whiskey. I expected more of you, Oregon - I expected you to be more supportive of small businesses.) I got my proper pour of Bull Run whiskey with excellent food and open-air restaurant to boot. The patio was hoppin, which was fine because our table near the patio was open to the same delicious perfect-temp air. Got the blackened chicken sandwich, which was awwwwwwesome. Perfect sammich, even sans bacon since I don't eat pig. Fries were perfect. Oh yeah, and we started out with a Bavarian Pretzel, which lived up to its "famously large" description. It was absolutely massive (see other people's pics). Highly recommended. read more

I had a fabulous burger here and some really great brews! I enjoyed eating at their outdoor space. Food arrived quickly and efficiently. Staff were also helpful and friendly. I definitely recommend visiting this location! read more

Beers were tasty and served quickly. QR code ordering was odd - had 4 people at the table and it wasn't informative to ensure we got 1 check so we passed a phone around. Food was good. Buffalo chicken wrap seemed like all the sauce was on one side - glad I ordered an extra sode but not sure it was worth 50 cents! Steak salad with medium steak was pretty rare. Overall not a bad experience. read more

This review is for a mid-week, lunch, sat at the bar experience. Service: Awesome! Can order right from bar tender. Super quick, no nonsense Food: WOWOWOW!!! Quinoa bowl and soup were so impressively good! Feels like a farm to table meal, not usually what you expect at a brewery. Of course they have great beer, good bar food (huge pretzel, etc) but if you're looking for a yummy lunch spot (open everyday from noon) don't overlook their Slabtown location! read more

Breakside Brewery - Quinoa bowl and soup - American Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Hate the contactless ordering system. Servers never greet us with a smile, and they just run food to your table. No service or hospitality to speak of. You're kind of on your own here. Beer is fine. Food is okay--just pub food. Great location though. We think this pub would do well to remember that food and beverages bring people in but warm service brings customers back. read more

Breakside is a full bar brewery that seems to specialize in Westcoast IPAs with four of them on their 11 draft menu. Despite most the beer I tried on my flight being very similar to each other they were still good and I do have to say their passion fruit sour is probably the best sour beer I've had in years. I usually don't bother with sours since most breweries do a lackluster job making them but theirs had tremendous flavor. Smooth taste that didn't make your face pucker when you sip it. They also have a menu of cocktails, ciders/hard seltzer, wine, and mimosas. They have a variety of food on the menu that we didn't get to try since our visit was just to check out the beer. The location is in a cool spot, lots of other places in the area with small easy to walk streets so you can park nearby on the street and not have a long walk to get here. read more

OMG!!! Not only do they have amazing beer but their food is incredibly tasty, as well. We visited the Slabtown location in Portland and was really impressed with how they handled everything during Covid. The location was incredibly clean, the wait time was manageable, and the ordering process was simple. Every single beer they have is amazing. No matter what your taste preference or style of beer, they have something for you. The food menu, while not exceptionally large, is filled with enough choices that everyone in your party will find something they like. Best of all, every time we have been there, the food has been amazing. Do yourself a favor and check out this incredible brew pub. read more

I had an Early Grey beer before and I've been trying other beers with similar flavors, so I ordered Breakside's version of it! It was pretty subtle though. Their service was nice! I like their outdoor patio, it is nice and big with tables and high tops. We didn't order food, but looks like they have some pretty standard food that accompanies Portland's brewery locations: burgers, wraps, fries, etc. read more

Service was horrible. Stopped in to check in with the hostess to get seated in the patio area. I was directed to a table. I proceeded to order using their table barcode online for something I presumed would be quick to fix up (soup and salad) as it was cold and I had my dog with me. I ended up sitting out in the patio area for over 30 minutes without a server coming out to check on me or even offer me water. I prepaid using the barcode app, and wish I didn't pay before the food got to the table, because my tip would of been less than what I gave. read more

Solid brewery. Ample sitting with indoor and outdoor options. The outdoor option also had outside patio heaters. Great selection. Order through your phone with a QR code with the order coming promptly. Worth a try. read more

This is our second time here as we loved it the first time! The food is so good, the beer has a good variety and I tried an Aperol Fritz which was delicious! We started with the pretzel because, holy cow! I had the ahi sandwich and my husband got the nachos. Everything was great and we'd come again! read more

Went with a large group of 9 on Sunday evening. You can order at the bar or at the table using the QR code. Not everything was on the QR menu vs paper menu so decided to order at the bar. Friendly service but if you want to order additional drinks or food, need to go to the bar. Nice variety of food and almost all dishes were good. We also did sampler beer tasting to share. Cheeseburger - thick patty, nice and juicy Steak sandwich - nice slides of steak and tasty Steak salad - Also good and comes with nice slides of steak meat Hummus and olives - Nice assortment of veggies, hummus was good but I prefer more garlic Waffle fries with blue cheese - Amazing! Got the blue cheese and sauce on the side to keep fries crispy Quinoa bowl - Although roasted root veggies were great, I didn't care for curry flavored quinoa Mac and cheese - Not to traditional looking or tasting but pretty good. Kids loved it read more

White tent out front makes it difficult to understand where to walk in to. Voted for Pedro sandwich, but the Sandi was not good mostly bread and did not look like the photo as advertised. Giant pretzel and loaded fries went well with the flights. Staff was courteous. read more

I always enjoy coming to Breakside! Slabtown location is perfect. So happy that they've continued to make it through COVID. They've got the best of all worlds. Great outdoor seating options along with the ability to now eat inside. Jessie, one of the hostesses was so incredibly helpful and kind. Kept checking on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Breakside is now using Toast for most all of their transactions. You can order everything (food & drink) from your phone and simply make your payment all right there. Makes things a bit easier. Food came out very quickly and was tasty. Waffle fries for the win. One of my favorites. Will keep coming back!! read more

All beers tasted the same. Very disappointed. Looked fwd to our visit and left an entire flight sit.

Nice and quiet on a Saturday for lunch. Been at night before and it's very busy. It's been a while since I have been here and the menu is trimmed down. They only have regular waffle fries and I really like the sweet potato ones on Dekum. The burger was great. Asked for medium rare and it was done perfectly. Always love the flavor and quality of beef at both locations. Back in the day here I enjoyed the halibut fish and chips. I think long gone. The self service water and order with your phone or at the bar is not my favorite. This is a huge place and to not have table service is odd. I'll come back for the food but the experience just isn't the same. read more

Atmosphere is pretty upbeat and a Great place for a meet-up with friends. They were great for accommodating a large group of us for New Years Eve despite being relatively busy the whole night. Despite being at a brewery, I did not have any drinks but my friends seemed to enjoy the large selection. Regarding food, nothing really stood out to be honest. Selection is pretty typical of most breweries like burgers, chicken strips, etc; although they did have a selection of Mac and Cheeses. I had their chicken strip which was pretty unremarkable. I liked that they had waffle fries so that was fun. I had their side of habanero sauce which tasted good but was a little too watery for me. read more

I went here with my cousin after bouldering and it was a much needed pick me up! We got seated outside without a long wait time at all, like we waited 1 minute do the waitress could wipe the table down. There was also a fire heater in the middle of the outside seating area, it is also covered by what I think was a giant tent. After we got seated, we ordered beer, I got a flight and my cousin got the Wanderlust IPA. Out of all 6 beers, I have to say I liked What Rough Beast the most, I like hoppy beer. There is a self serving water station. My cousin and I ordered our food, we got the drumsticks appetizer with buffalo sauce on the side and the Ahi Tuna Sandwich. Let's just say the drumsticks where WAYY bigger than we anticipated! They were very tasty but a bit dry for my preference. However, drizzling the hot buffalo sauce made the drumsticks taste just soo good, the outside of the drumstick is crispy! The ahi tuna sandwich was so delicious, I would highly recommend trying this sandwich out if you like seafood! Very tangy and fresh at the same time, the cucumbers I think were marinated so they offer taste and freshness. The waffle fries were also seasoned, warm, and crunchy When I come back to Portland, I will be coming back here 100%, solid for a nice Sunday afternoon! We also saw dogs in the outside area read more

The beer is great! One of my favorite breweries. The food we ordered was pretty weak however; nachos with pulled pork and "hot" wings. The nachos didn't come with any house made salsa or hot sauce, you just get tapatio. Was also hoping for house made cheese sauce instead of melted shredded cheese. The hot wings weren't spicy at all. The chicken was tender but yea I expect hot wings to be covered in hot wing sauce but not here. read more

Came here to have a few beers before our dinner reservation. When we sat down, the menus were dirty. It wasn't a huge issue for me but my partner was turned off a bit. I told her not to worry. I got up from the table as using Toast to order from the table was kinda a pain. The bartender was very nice and was clearly busy and said they'd be with me in a moment. As I waited I noticed some movement from my peripheral. A fruit fly. Then I saw another. And another. And another. 100 fruit flies flying around the bar. I turned on my heals and told my partner we were outta there. That many fruit flies = terrible cleaning practices. You don't get that many fruit flies over night. read more

Service and food have gone way down, and prices have gone way up. $13 for a chicken sandwich that most closely resembles a bad Wendy's, then you pay $5 extra for the small portion of fries. I only mentioned the portion size of fries to the server, but had to mention it twice to get a little bit more dropped off. Bad experience with a spot I used to frequent. read more

Nice and open-air brewery, perfect for Summer time. Plenty of big bench seatings and smaller ones. Food was pretty straightforward American pubfare but very well-made. Their Waffle Fries were crunchy on the outside and pillowy on the inside, freshly fried. Another great fried dish from their menu was the Buffalo Chicken Drumsticks which were FULL-SIZED drumsticks coated in lots of seasonings and came out piping hot to your table. Very solid! The Bavarian Pretzel was also a favorite at the table. Big portion so it's a great option to share. Nicely salted with great light texture, pairing perfectly with the cheese dip and mustard. Definitely down to come back here again. read more

The first thing you do after a 4 mile hike is rehydrate with some tasty beers so we decided to give Breakside a try. If it's busy you have to plan on service being very slow from being helped by the hostess to table service as they are very short staffed for the size. If your in a rush I'd recommend ordering at the bar. We sat on the turf and ordered our first round through the app. Took about 15 minutes to see round one. Round 2 was out within a minute. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Definitely a cool spot worth having a beer and some laughs. read more

Good neighborhood brewery if you're in the area! We came for the Burger Week burger, which was pretty tasty. I also got the Total Entertainment Forever IPA, which wasn't my absolute favorite IPA but they had a wide selection with lots of IPA choices so looking forward to returning! read more

Didn't try the food but the beers and the experience were really great here. Yummy beers and friendly service. Will be back

What a Joke. No real service. You have to order off the bloody phone or physically at the bar. WTF. Service has gone out the window but on the app they suggested a bloody tip? Well, at least they didn't have a sign, "Bus your own table." Using the freaking app I ordered a taster tray. Usually I'd ask the server for some advice on beer but there are none. So I picked my own. Best thing about this place is lots of beer to choose from. Bring back table service. read more

Was here about 2 weeks ago. Very last stop before heading back to the airport for a late flight home. THESE WINGS!! Absolutely the best I've ever had! I ordered them via the QR code at the table. Requested for them to be extra crispy; they came out perfect! I think this was a house or original Buffalo. The service was great, but the order yourself concept is a really great idea for when you need more time to sit with the menu. The weather for the patio was perfect. The beers on tap were great even though I can't remember which ones we got. LGBTQ friendly and fur baby friendly. We would totally come back! read more

I love breweries like this. Great for family, great for adults, great for dogs, great for everyone! The place has an open floor plan where you can have a wide and expansive view of everything. I really enjoyed second floor because it felt more relaxed and quite (has bathrooms and a bar too). Theres a secluded area on the first floor with a tv with enough room for a group of 6-8. Outdoor area is cool and you can bring your four legged babies (puppies I mean). I'm surprised at how good their pretzel was (it is huge, I mean HUGE). Honestly, you really can't go wrong with Breakside for any occasion. read more

Breakside's beer is familiar to me so during my latest trip to Portland, I decided to stop in at the tap house. Good decision. - Had two beers on tap that I hadn't had before. Both very good. - Food is solid, especially the pretzel. The salad with seared tuna also was nice. - Space is comfortable. I could see visiting often if I lived in the area. read more

After a leisurely stroll through the Japanese Gardens, I found myself at Breakside. The interior has an industrial feel to it and both indoor and outdoor seating are available. I chose to sit at the bar alone to learn more about the brewery and it's beers. I decided to go with a flight of 6 and chose which to drink in order to make the most sense of the progression. This location of the brewery calls itself the HopLab where they like to experiment. The favorite of the 6 was the Passion fruit Sour, Smashbang Soft IPA and Star Struck West Coast IPA. I didn't try any food to save room for my dinner reservations. Chillhop plays in the background. Overall, okay, not mind-blowing. I want to check out more of Portland's beer scene before I'd return. read more

Biggest and most delicious pretzel you'll ever have in PNW. I'd bet money on it. (Hit me up if you have found better!) Been here a boatload! One our favorite and first breweries our cousin took us to about 3 year back. Quality beer and merch. Parking can be tough as the blocks are surrounded be new lofts/apt. Great stop after shopping the hood or post hike Forrest park. Covered outdoor seating, dogs welcome two tiered beer serving, checkout the upstairs for the views and TVs. Burrppp! Satisfied Sunday!! read more

Great craft beers, great food and good service. Breakside is a fun local brewery! If you're new to them or just looking for a fun way to try lots of beers, I highly recommend doing a sampler Flight of beers. They are well known for having great IPA's and they were fantastic! Also, as many reviewers have stated, try the giant Bavarian pretzel! You'll be happy you did. I didn't have a full dinner so can't comment on entree dishes but I definitely want to go back to try. Overall, Breakside is an awesome brewery in a great location and you won't be disappointed. read more
