    1 Baklava & 1 Ice Cream Scoop YUMMM!!!
    Rudito B.

    Wowie wow wow! First time here and we LOVED it. We each had beef and tinga chicken empanadas and an AHmazing cashew & cauliflower soup! The service was absolutely friendly and patient with all our first-timer questions. We will definitely be back!

    Prime rib sandwich

    This is our third time eating here. The restaurant is extremely clean. Each time we have been greeted warmly by the host and she has checked in after receiving food. Tony always makes sure to greet guests and clearly is passionate about providing an excellent experience at the restaurant. I got the empanada meal (chicken tinga and beef). The chicken tinga is my favorite. The food, service and cleanliness of the restaurant are top notch. It won't be our last time here.

    Like many other reviewers, food was excellent, Tony is great with all the customers and the cafe is quaint and very clean (i just loves the napkin holder). Highly rate this cafe, give it a try. Pictured is the "seared ahi tuna sandwich" and "vegetable soup with flat bread" Enjoy

    I ordered the mushroom cheesesteak sandwich with homemade barbecue chips. It's delicious! My son ordered the Smash burger with fries. They're Also very tasty. We were given a sample of the soup. It's out of this world! And dessert is baklava with ice cream. The service is excellent and they're very attentive. The interior is simply and tastefully decorated. There's plenty of parking. This is my new go to place for delicious food and service.

    The menu was so big and everything sounded delicious so I did the American thing and got a burger. It was absolutely delicious and I really enjoyed the different bread for the bun! It was super juicy and moist and flavorful. Didn't love the tiramisu but that's alright, the chips on the side of my burger were good instead, super smokey instead of salty which was new!

    3rd time here in 2 months. We drive out of our way for this delicious food and friendly service. Tony is a delight!

    1 Baklava & 1 Ice Cream Scoop

    Had a great early dinner at The Empanada Stop...absolutely delicious! Everything was made with fresh ingredients, and the service was incredible. This place is truly a hidden gem. We ordered a garden salad, empanadas, and a pastrami sandwich with house-made chips. They also let us sample the house soup and the ice cream and baklava, which were both amazing. We loved the soup so much we took some home for later. The prices are very affordable for the quality of food you get. Highly recommend!

    Great Experience! Tony owner/manager/front of the house and team took care of business Clean, nice space Empanadas were good.. I would've preferred a little more flaky.. the beef was the best.. dipping sauces were a red sauce and an olive oil base Soup sample was perfect.. nice broth with cauliflower that tasted as if you were fine dining Baklava Ice Cream was outstanding.. perfect portion, flaky Baklava with creamy vanilla ice cream Will be back to try their sandwiches and burgers.. they look incredible

    Beef Empanadas, dipping sauce is heavenly
    Courtney P.

    It's hard to imagine how a place can get such high reviews until you try it and then it all makes sense. Stopped by recently and immediately knew it would be a favorite of ours. Pastrami sandwich is one of the best sandwiches in all of Portland, definitely one of my favorite meals in town. We've also had the tri-tip and the prime rib, both were amazing too but the tri-tip had a nice bright flavor with the delicious aioli and peppers. Everything is always fresh and house made, all of it super flavorful. Beef empanadas are incredible with a fresh chimichurri. On top of all that, they're always super nice with great service. Can't recommend enough!

    I really enjoyed Sugarpine Drive-in! I got several items, including the seasonal Mauna Loa sundae…read more(added matcha magic shell and miso caramel sauce), the grab and go Wagyu bologna sandwich, and a cup of the heirloom tomato soup. We brought our water bottles, so we didn't have to buy any drinks, but the drinks look really good! They have a thorough beer, cider, wine, menu, and really cute frozen margs. Anyway, I was really happy with everything I ordered the sundae was so good! You can tell that they put a lot of care into the ingredients they make, like the macadamia-oat brittle was full of ingredients and brought a fun texture and a lot of flavors to the sundae. The chocolate magic shell had kind of coffee in it, which was a fun, tiny crunch and another good flavor. The Thai tea whip was the " cherry on top." I highly recommend adding the miso caramel sauce and Matcha magic shell! So yummy! Just as I said with the sundae, the sandwich and tomato also seemed to have quality ingredients. The tomato soup was delicious, but the flavor was gorgeous with the roasted tomatoes and chive oil, though a bit rich. I definitely finished it, but I do think that having some of my sister's grilled cheese to dip into it was more appropriate than eating it on its own. The sandwich I got had the softest milk bread and was just a classic deli sandwich, but you can tell that again, they used quality ingredients. I felt like I got my money's worth for everything I paid for. The parking situation was great, we parked in the overflow lot across from the establishment. There was a five dollar charge, and if you show your receipt when returning to your vehicle, they gave you a refund. Waiting in line wasn't terrible, we waited maybe 15 minutes? The only thing is that they have a ramp leading to the patio and a long line is inevitable, and the ramp is narrow, so if somebody wants to pass through with a stroller or a wheelchair, everybody on the ramp has to move off to let them through. When we got up to the front to order, something happened with their system, and they had to pause orders for a couple minutes, which didn't bother me, but I could see how maybe that might bother someone else. Either way, they were very nice throughout the wait. There are a lot of people there seemingly throughout the day, and we had a group of five adults and four kids, but we were able to find a picnic table with enough room easily. The picnic tables are also nicely set up with good canopies and the table itself felt pretty clean Lots of Instagrammable foods and photos op spaces.

    This place has been hyped up a lot, so much so that I made a special trip out here to try the soft…read moreserve and see what it was all about. The situation is like this, they really don't have their own parking at all. You have to pay for parking at the nearby park which is also where the bathrooms are. However, you can skip all this by going through the drive through, but it is a bit chaotic as you try to follow all the signs on how to get into the drive through, but be extra careful as kids and adults are paying attention and walk into the drive thru lane without looking. Since there is a wait for the drive through, they are smart to have QR codes to look at the menu while you are in line. They do have done picnic table setups for sitting down but also some tables inside Sugarpine. I think we waited about 10 min on a Sunday afternoon so it wasn't so bad of a wait. They do warn you that they serve a 20% service fee on top of your order. However, I don't understand why. I got no table service. Basically a guy took my order and handed me my ice cream cup. I usually give 20% for real table service. Not sure if this is one of those charges they use to give the employees certain benefits? It was unclear to me. I'll be honest, I was very disappointed in the soft serve offerings. It was chocolate or vanilla or a swirl but there was a plant based offered that is a little more which is a bit more interesting. We got one chocolate vanilla swirl and one blueberry ube kids cup (5 oz) The had coconut vanilla as well, but I did not try it. I paid my just over $10 charge which wasn't too bad, but since there is no place to eat these I drove into downtown Troutdale to Harlow Park where it is free to park and plenty of covered tables. While I enjoyed my soft serve, it wasn't really anything special to me that I couldn't find in other Portland locations. In fact, I've had better. I do appreciate the family run business and the local kids that work there, I think it is a great thing, but honestly toss lace seems best for a stop on the way back from a day at the Gorge, else I won't go out of my way for it. Nothing wrong with it as I said, it tasted fine, but it did t blow my mind either. I did not get to try their BBQ offerings so I can't speak for that but it did small good. I know that have $10 offerings for dessert that have toppings and such but for me the base or foundation of it all is more important to me.

    FOR A PLACE BUILT AROUND BURGERS/DOGS THIS WAS JUST SAD…read more Maybe try a hot dog or something. I don't know, but my burger was a monumental dud. It was served on an egg white coated brioche bun which gave it a somewhat leathery texture on the outside, soft on the inside. It came with a pickle slice, one tomato slice, a lettuce leaf, a slice of cheddar cheese, a tiny dollop of mayonnaise (you must ask for a side of ketchup and/or mustard), and the single most boring tasting burger I have had since the little league game I went to last summer. No juice. No flavor. The patty was not hot and tasted as if it were sitting in a warmer for 30 minutes before we came in. The burger came with fries (which we all agreed were the best part of our meals) and it cost $16. NO MILKSHAKES OFFERED, which given the theme of the restaurant is just a horrible oversight. I cannot imagine this place lasting long. So forgettable most people will likely only come here once out of curiosity, then go back to their favorite greasy, oozy, flavor-packed cheeseburger spot for a real burger.
