    Mushroom burger

    Loved the burgers and onion rings. I recommend coming here. Service was good and the food came fairly quickly.

    BBQ burger ($17) with fries. Sept, 2024.
    Laura S.

    My husband and I ate at Charlie's Mountain View in Government Camp, Oregon on a weekday in Sept, 2024 for lunch. We sat in the outdoor seating area under an umbrella in the front of the restaurant; about 80% of the tables were occupied. I ordered a Korean Beef Hoagie ($18) from the Sandwiches menu. It featured thin-sliced Korean beef, gouchujang (chili sauce) aioli, pickled carrots, and cucumbers on a toasted hoagie roll. (I asked for the sauce on the side because I wasn't sure how spicy it would be). It was served with your choice of fries, chips, or soup; I went with the fries. My overall rating: 3/5. The fillings for my hoagie were quite delicious -- the beef was seasoned and cooked well; the carrots and cucumbers were pickled with just the right amount of vinegar and sugar; and the sauces (served separately as a chili sauce and a tzatziki (?) complemented the tastes and were not overly spicy. My rating is only a "3" out of 5 largely because the fillings were quite thin given the thickness of the toasted hoagie bun, especially at the $18 price point. The bulk of the bread overpowered the tastes of the fillings. My husband's choice was the BBQ Burger ($17), which included a grilled beef burger, topped with slow roasted pulled pork, jalapeños, onion rings, pepper-jack cheese, and house BBQ sauce. He selected chips as his side. He rated his burger a "4", once he took the abundant number of jalapeños off that made the burger too spicy for him. Unlike my selection, his burger was huge with alot of meat and an onion ring on his burger. The fries were excellent and generous in quantity (5/5). Unfortunately, we can only rate the service as 2/5. While our waiter was attentive when we first arrived and was quite friendly, his overall service wasn't too good. As mentioned, my husband ordered chips with his meal, it was delivered with fries. (He didn't mention it to the waiter because it wasn't a big deal). Neither of us received silverware. My husband called him over to request a fork, which never came. I was hoping for a refill of my water after eating the spicy food; it was offered only after we were paying our bill. We also had to ask twice for a takeout box for leftover fries. The outdoor tables with comfortable, and we appreciated the umbrella to shield us from the midday sun.

    Oh my God, I ate the whole thing

    Ok, you are in the woods on Mount Hood ... what are you expecting? This is a bar that added food services. This is not Timberline Lodge, it's a bar. BUT, get ready for some of the best food in the area to be served to you. This is always the standby for us and every time we go they knock it out of the park even if you just get there Charlie burger! And if you're used to being waited on at your tables, forget it go up to the bar and order your food because it depends on the bartender, but this new generation are dictating how we are served so just give into it because the food is awesome. The beers are good and the spirits are very strong. Highly recommend recommended.! at the turn of the century this place was voted in Playboy magazine as the number two dive bar in the country for food, wine, spirits, apré ski activities. Oh yeah, I forgot it is an after Ski bar but during the summertime it's great to come here after a long hike or mountain bike ride. This is a great spot to be anytime of the year.. they also have wonderful breakfast services on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

    Pickle fries
    Jerry C.

    Great place to get a bite to eat. We actually went here two days. Saturday night they had live music in the bar. Sunday afternoon we went for dinner. Service was good and everyone enjoyed what they ordered. I would go back again.

    Cesar salad.

    What can I say.. service was great but the food is.. lacking. The ham and bean soup was really salty and mostly meat. The Cesar salad had so much dressing. The steak I asked for well done and it wasn't. The steak tasted like nothing and for $26 not worth it. Again the service was great and the Long Island was good

    Bonfire Turkey panini
    Kim R.

    We had our first visit last week while staying nearby. Our party of 4 placed a dinner order for take-out. We opted for 3 bonfire Turkey paninis and a chicken Caesar wrap (they accommodated our request for grilled chicken instead of crispy on the wrap). For our sides we ended up with fries, o-rings, and a side salad. My daughter and I split the wrap and a panini. Honestly, they were both fabulous. The caesar dressing was yummy, and the wrap full of chicken. The paninis had great flavor, and o rings and fries were all crispy. So far on our trips to Hood, this was our favorite meal. Simple food choices, but great flavors cooked perfectly make for a great dinner. We will most definitely be back.

    Aaron was nice enough to put the Husker game on for us so we hung out for a few hours. Lots of great beer options and killer cheese curds.

    "Back in the day" I used to drop in here on the way to/from Mount Hood and parts east. A true dive…read morebar Biker bar, patchholders and straight Bikers alike. I was running BikePAC at the time and was also an ABATE officer. There's a picture of my 97 Big Dog hanging on the wall. Haven't been here since forever. I have a very dear friend, also a life-long Biker who lives in Sandy and we set up a lunch meet here. Always nice to visit with old friends and to get out Clackamas County way where the folks there are half way normal. The new owners (I guess they've had the place for quite a few years so not really new) did a nice job fixing the place up while still keeping it a Biker friendly gin mill. And they added food which is nice. The chowdah is quite good. Not the east coast creamy chowdah I am used to but instead has a nice spicy punch to it. Generous amount of clams which is always welcome. Decent prices. Of course they have beer and booze which I sadly no longer imbibe. The waitress/barkeep was nice and attentive. I gather she is the owner's daughter. Always available if we wanted something but otherwise left us alone to chat. I was surprised at how uncrowded the place was. Nice, half way warm sunny day you'd thing there would be bikes parked all down the street. But it was just the two of us and a tiny handful of what I assume are regulars. Of course you don't need to be a Biker to feel comfortable here. Anyone who works for a living like truckers, loggers and so on would feel very welcome here. Not a huge bar but ample seating for a goodly crew of guests. There's ample parking out front for bikes and a (free) public parking lot across the street. Happy to see that this place is still up and running.

    Sampler platter is huge and perfectly fried. The oil tastes fresh and everything is crispy and oh…read moreso yummy. Perfect cheat day meal!!! Clam chowder is on point also and the bowl is huge too. Great spot to grab some solid eats!!!!
