I went to yelp and was looking for somewhere to go and Brothers Cascadia stood out with all their options. The steak sando and the chicken sando both looked great so we ordered one of each and shared - boy they hit the spot! This is such a fun spot! A good balance of a neighborhood pub but also a place I could bring my kiddo and enjoy a basket of fries. Everyone on the staff was so friendly too. I look forward to coming back.

He enjoys playing dj with his curated music, which also had merit, but again was too loud for a weekday lunch. I'm not an old fart, (I think he and I were close to the same age) but old enough to have lost some hearing in my youth, and it was still a bit loud. The pork rinds were good, surprisingly generous and tasted very fresh. I liked the Tajin on them, but would have preferred it to be an option (shaker on the table) rather than just full coverage. I would have shared them, but the person I was dining with doesn't care do the spice. I ordered the bbq bacon cheeseburger with the sauce on the side and it was a generous portion, that was well-cooked. Just the way I ordered it! That being said, the beef was relatively tasteless and the whole sandwich was extremely greasy. The bacon on the sandwich was plentiful and not as greasy as the burger and cheese. I don't know the fries would be seasoned. It may or may not have been on the menu, I honestly can't recall. The place seemed well kept and customer oriented, food service wise, but the ambiance could be dialed down for the lunch crowd. If there was an alternate burger available nearby, I might not give Brothers a second chance. But I can't hate on it. Just a few too many flaws for the price, which was not cheap. Paying over $5 for a Mexican Coke was pretty steep since I didn't see any fountain options. But lastly, too be fair, the bartender was VERY kind!

Having been to places like Leavenworth and Mt. Angel so frequently (not to mention my trip to…read moreGermany a few years back) apparently made me a bit elitist when it came to Bavarian cuisine, and almost completely forget about Gustav's as a consequence. It was only today, when my boss took our department out to lunch here, was I reminded of how many things Gustav's does right, despite being a chain restaurant. The first reminder came in the form of the interior décor; I forgot how charming it is here: from the entrance to the bar and to the dining halls, there are few restaurants in Vancouver as immediately evocative and immersive in their aesthetics. Our server was friendly, welcoming and helpful in her suggestions, particularly for those members of our party to whom German cuisine is very unfamiliar. The food, by and large, is excellent, although the prices are a bit steep for some of the offerings: for example, the goulash is tied for the most expensive item on the menu, along with the Bavarian Feast. One of these dishes makes sense for the price point; the other does not. It's hard to go wrong with the feast, the wurst platter (in any combination), or any of the schnitzels, but sadly, the Kohlrouladen that I ordered (one of my absolute favorites) didn't quite live up to the high bar set by the same dish at Baren Haus in Leavenworth. The two rounds of fondue with sausage that we ordered as an appetizer were well-received (and thoroughly ravaged) by our party of eight in record time! And although I didn't partake (as I have a negative sweet tooth), a trio of desserts finished off our group's meal, and left everyone satisfied. Overall, Gustav does far more right than I remembered, or gave them credit for. Other than my nitpicks about one particular entrée, and some questionable pricing, everything else about Gustav's punches far above its weight class, especially when considering the fact that it is a chain. By that metric, they have no business being as fantastic as they are! With a couple of tweaks, such as a firmer commitment to embracing German authenticity, and toning down the prices a bit, Gustav's will absolutely have a lock on that fifth star that lies just barely outside their reach.

I signed up with a Sip & Paint class being held here. It looked like a beautiful painting and my sister and daughter were both interested in attending with me. There was a big turn out for the class. I felt we were packed in like sardines, so no room for food, but my sister and I ordered the Blueberry Lemon drop..it was delicious! My daughter got some beer on tap, and I believe she enjoyed it. We decided to order food after the class. Towards the end of the class, the lady across from us ordered some type of meat plate. My sister and daughter eat meat, they thought it looked and smelled good. So after class, we headed over to the lower tables to order food.y sister and daughter ordered the meat plate, not sure what it was. They said theirs didn't look as good as the lady's..it was on the burnt side. We got spinach artichoke dip with crostini, and asked for chips, also the baked Brie with pita and a jam of some sort. The only vegan part of that was the chips and pita and jam. There weren't a lot of vegan/ vegetarian options. My sister got bread pudding to go, and she was surprised there was bacon on top. She didn't like that. She also sent me a photo of the canned beverage that she took home, it had an expiration date from 8/18/25. I'm sure it was fine. I will mention that it's a beautiful space with comfortable seating. Ample parking.

I explained that it was a mistake and we wanted to old-fashioned. He argued that that's what those were. Clearly they weren't. They are very different drinks. It became an argument, but he took a sniff of one and realized the glass was full of olive juice. He apologized and said he would remake our drinks. He did. They were OK. They were not in an old-fashioned glass and didn't have the big ice cube, but it was OK because it's a dive bar and I didn't expect that. However, I asked to close my tab and charged me $36 for the two drinks. I thought for sure that was a mistake. He said it wasn't. I argued that these drinks should not be $18 each and he said they were. I was really mad about that. It's a dive bar and dive bars don't charge more than a fine dining establishment in Vancouver or Portland. Plus I had to pay a service fee. So I didn't leave him a tip. But I'm still mad about it. Those drinks shouldn't have been more than $10 or $12. At most. That's what you pay at a nice restaurant for one of those. I'm positive if he charged me for all four drinks. My brother and girlfriend had 5 drinks and were also charged $36. Weird. One was a tequila soda and he served them Tito's and soda. I realize it was very busy and he was the only one working and could've been having a really bad night. But I don't think I should be punished and double charged. Needless to say, I definitely won't be back to this, especially if they really do charge $18 for a white trash version of an old-fashioned drink.
