This place has the feel of a sports bar, but what really drew us in was their surprisingly impressive and hard-to-find whiskey selection. We grabbed seats at the bar and ordered a pour of Weller along with a bacon Old Fashioned for me. The Weller, of course, speaks for itself, but the bacon Old Fashioned was the real standout. The bacon-washed flavor came through beautifully without being overpowering, and since it featured one of my favorite whiskeys, it was an instant win. The candied bacon garnish was literally the cherry on top.We also ordered a generous plate of onion rings, which came out freshly fried and perfectly crunchy. Service was solid, and the pricing felt like a steal ,especially considering the quality of the drinks. read more

Front Row Bar & Grill - American Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

We went to the Front Row Bar & Grill as it has been awhile since we have visited this restaurant. It was excellent. The service by Tabatha made it even better. We had the Mozzarella Cheese sticks to start with, and they were scrumptious. We also enjoyed the Underwood Pinot Noir. Our daughter had a beautiful Turkey, Bacon, and Avocado Wrap with Tator Tots. (The tots were phenomenal) I had a craving for the Chicken Fried Steak. It was very good, but the gravy was a but pasty...possibly too much flour. It was still quite good. I had the french fries instead of the mashed potatoes and vegetables. They were perfectly seasoned and crisp and hot. Again, Tabatha made the evening. She is so positive and friendly and is always smiling. We will be back sooner than we have been. read more

Typically, I love going to front row to watch games. A lively but not overbearing crowd. I went on Thursday night to watch opening kickoff of the NFL season, and I think the owner may have forgotten what kind of establishment he runs. Whoever was managing that night delivered a plate of fries to the table next to us, midway through the second quarter of the game, not even half time yet, and could be heard clearly exclaiming "I remember why I hate football season, these people never f****** leave". It wasn't even half time yet. You can't be serious? To make matters worse, the second the clock hit 0 on the football game, every single television was changed to the news. Message received, it was time for the football fans to leave. I was not alone in recognizing what was happening, and I had to bet--I won't be alone in not returning to front row. I can't begin to fathom this kind of thought process from a relatively small sports bar in Hillsboro, Oregon. I'm not privy to the financials of this place, but I can almost guarantee they can't afford to be having this kind of attitude to their main demographic. read more

Having some done tire work done at Les Schwab Hillsboro and popped in here for a quick lunch as it is right next door. Great little local sports bar. Sat at the bar and both bartenders were super friendly. Ordered a 1/2 turkey supreme sando and subbed soup for fries (sausage noodles)...both were very tasty. Keep in mind this is a bar and food is bar food...but it was pretty tasty for a bar...especially the soup! Prices was a great deal...and food came fast. I will be back on my next visit to Les Schwab! read more

Front Row Bar & Grill - 1/2 Turkey Supreme Sando and cup of Sausage Noodle Soup! Great lunch!! - American Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

Front row opened up an hour early to accommodate people for the Oregon State championship game. The staff was very pleasant and right on top of everything with at least 100+ people all asking for stuff at the same time. They also recently upgraded all their TVs, which was cool to see. Overall good food, good service and lots of seating options. read more

Loud & sporty. Service was prompt. Food & drinks were really good. The jalapeño poppers were so good & the dipping sauce was divine. Highly recommend read more

Came on week 1 of the NFL season and it was busy but we found a table. Before we even sat down, an employee came by and made sure the table was cleared and cleaned. The waitress was quick to arrive and take our drink orders. Got drinks, gave our food orders and it was easy-peasy. Food is pretty good and right on a sports bar level. If you are a sports fan, you will love this place. I'm not sure there is less than 100 TVs here. I have been here before I had a Yelp app so this isn't my first rodeo here. read more

I visit this place monthly. Always lively - everywhere you look there's multiple big screen TV's broadcasting sporting events of all kinds. Place is always busy but usually no trouble finding a seat or a table or booth. There's no mistaking - this is a sports bar! read more

Excellent shrimp salad fresh and crisp. Breakfast servings very satisfying with the bacon a tasty treat. The servers are friendly and very attentive. Give it a try. read more

We had dinner at the bar, with a few drinks. Tabitha was very friendly & efficient. The pub had been very busy earlier, considering the amount of beer glasses waiting for the dishwasher. Food was good, but could have been served warmer. The soup was lukewarm at best. Reuben sandwich was good, but again, should have been served warm. Maybe our order was sitting in the pickup window too long. It's a noisy place, but a fun crowd. read more

It's been awhile since I've been back here. The place is still pretty clean and spacious with lots of tvs to enjoy the sports. We wanted to have some snacks to go with our drinks. The selection of spirits here are good and prices are very reasonable. Our server was very friendly and quick in making sure we had everything we needed. read more

Front Row is a classic all American restaurant and bar that does the basic foods right. The happy hour menu has some good deals on appetizers and choice beers and the entrees are always pretty tasty. The inside has plenty of TVs displaying a variety of entertainment. The location is also pretty nice with the Ron Tonkin stadium just down the road. I have been a few times over the years and do feel like the portion size has decreased unfortunately, and friendly interactions with staff are a hit or miss. Overall, I would recommend this spot if you are looking for a chill place to grab a bite or hang out with friends for a drink. read more

Great service perfect location to watch games good food and the bacon old-fashioned is a must

Good place for happy hour or to gather with friends for drinks and food. We ordered the fried mushrooms and pickles. The came with ranch and another pickle dip that was pretty tasty. The mushrooms and pickles had thick chewy breading. A little too much breading for our liking. Boneless wings were dry as well as the chicken fingers. I had the seared steak salad and it was good. I ordered the Killer lemonade which was my favorite part, it was definitely tasty and went down easy. Great place to view multiple games on all the TVs while vibing to music. Great for groups. read more

It also had a good amount. of fish and not to.much batter and was cooked perfectly. we also had some buffalo wing xtra crispy and those were cooked perfect with good flavor. ILL definitely be coming here alot more . read more

I have been coming here off and on for years since they opened. The staff has always been awesome and it's always had the sports bar fair that you would expect. We went there the other day to pregame for the Beavs vs Pilots baseball game next door at the Hops stadium. I asked our bartender if they had any wings hotter than the standard buffalo wings. She suggested a new one that's not on the menu . the cooks created for her because she needed more heat. It was spicier than buffalo for sure and had a delicious flavor to it. It's my new favorite thing on the menu. They named the sauce after the bar tender. Make sure you ask for the "Tabbi Sauce"! read more

Definitely a sports bar but great service thank you Ash for being so kind and patient with my annoying friends

Really great spot, here. Big step up from a typical sports bar. Friendly staff and great food. I've had their biscuits and gravy a few times, and it's the best in Hillsboro. Makes me wish they served breakfast all week instead of just Saturday and Sunday. I think I'll go catch a Mariners game there this weekend! read more

A very good menu to choose from. Food is good. Very loud in there, but expected since it's a Sports bar.

We hadn't eaten here in quite a while. We stopped in for some take-out last week: French dip, side salad, chicken Alfredo. Salad portion was quite generous for a side salad. The pasta had decent flavor but was quite oily. The sandwich looked appealing, although the beef was pretty bland. Nice sweet potato fries though. read more

I left my very long chemo day at 5 feeling nauseous and STARVING. Bad combination. FEED ME! Went and grabbed my ex who reported he was also hungry, called in food to Front Row ( the person on the phone was great AND gave me the total without asking, most places don't) ,and made the quick drive over. The parking lot AND the bar were crowded. I let ex go in without me and my compromised immune system. The food was ready when he went in. The server asked him if he wanted more dipping sauce ( the menu only said ranch so I didn't ask). He got me honey mustard which is my go to. Total was about $25. Took our foood home and we were both satisfied. My chicken tenders were perfect and the fries were fine. Yes, I eat like a 7 year old. Sigh. Have to right now. His club sandwich was good by his report. It was loaded with fresh veggies and bacon, turkey, and ham. His tater tots were good. I swiped a couple. We discussed our kid who is moving out, and that was the only hard thing about our dinner, lol. All in all a five star take out experience. Wish I could go in and have a drink and a salad, but someday I will. read more

As today was my first time visiting Front Row Bar & Grill, I began by taking pics of the outside entrance and sidewalk dining area. It was two minutes before they opened so I wasn't bothering anyone, except the older gentleman who is in charge. He came running out asking me why I'm taking pictures and saying he didn't want his picture taken. I told him I wasn't taking his picture and that the photos were for Yelp. I said we were there to have lunch. I wasn't so sure about staying after all that fuss but my friend was hungry so we stayed. Our server Linzy completely turned my doubts into a wonderful lunch. She was friendly and very pleasant to talk to. She checked on us frequently and made sure we were well taken care of. Linzy gave us outstanding service! My Bloody Mary was delicious, one of the best in the area. My friend enjoyed his beer too. The fried mushroom appetizer was yummy. My friend said his clam chowder soup was about the best he's tasted. I enjoyed my Veggie melt sandwich and my friend devoured his Hawaiian burger. Did I say he was hungry? All the food we tasted was delicious and the servings were plentiful. They offer several vegetarian options but I'd love to see a few more. Front Row Bar & Grill offers comfortable inside seating, watching more TVs than you can imagine. There is also pleasant outdoor sidewalk dining available. There is lots of parking and bus 47 stops nearby. They offer breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. I highly recommend Front Row Bar & Grill for good food, great service and comfortable atmosphere! read more

Okay. I gotta preface this 3-star review with the fact that I LOVE this joint. All the bartenders are great: Brie, Ash, Tabbi - always friendly, attentive, fun, conversational... five stars for them! I've never had a dish I didn't love! Great menu and prices with regular phenomenal specials. Everything has been delicious with a great presentation - the cooks have never let me down... five stars for them! Now.... My ONLY complaint that knocks this review down to a 3-star: Why the crap does it always smell a little like crap in here?! Is there a sewer line that needs clearing? Is the yummy food just brutal on the tummy - causing a daily flatulence festival?? I really don't get it... but it's persistent, and that's unfortunate. I've even heard other customers talking about it. But!! I keep coming back - because of the great service and grubbin' grub. I just have to remember that after being in here for 15 minutes or so - I don't really smell the poopies so much anymore. IF this issue ever resolved - I'll be happy to come back to Yelp and upgrade this review to a 5-star - like this place deserves! I want it to be my favorite place so bad! read more

I like that they are open late. I went there for the first time last night, basically b/c I saw on yelp that they have chicken fried steak and I had to try it. It was good, although the gravy could have used a kick of spice. I also got the friend pickles and mushrooms, and those were good as well. I washed it all down with some strawberry lemonade. The servers were pretty good with the refills. read more

The family and I don't do a whole lot of events by the stadium, but there's a finite number of restaurants in this town and and even smaller number of independents. Front Row is one of a handful (Coyote's, HBG, Wilson's, the lottery bars) that really leans into sports, and it's close enough to a Nike facility that I'm surprised there aren't more like it down by Tanasbourne (though that's firmly BWW/Old Chicago country). The food here is fine. It is sports-bar pub food and you know what you're getting. The bar is... what it is. A bunch of beers on tap including your uncle's favorites (Coors Light, Bud, Hefe), a mixed-drink menu (let's not throw the term "cocktail" around like it's meaningless), a "Timberita" (hey, at least they'll show Timbers/Thorns matches). Again, nothing beyond the pale, and certainly appreciated by the worker bees and contractors who keep coming around the place. But what I love most about it is the wait staff. Fuck, I miss direct human beings. Moving here from the Northeast, I've just about had it with the passive-aggressive nonsense, and clearly the staff here has as well. This is the only staff outside of certain Portland bars that wants to serve me as quickly as possible and not pretend they're my friend. Know what we call that back east? A waiter. Here? It's somehow a crime against humanity. Listen, I understand that so many of you are so used to servers blowing sunshine up your asses from the moment you walk in the door to the second you yell "THANK YOU" at the top of you lungs as you leave--as if that remark absolves you of being the most complaint-driven, persnickety human being on the planet for the length of your meal. I've seen staff here outright refuse to be fucked with. I've seen them hold their ground when customers ask for substitutions the kitchen can't make. I've seen them push back on unreasonable critiques of the food or a beer pour or of a drink recipe that was the exact drink they asked for. I've seen people ask for the manager and not like the result when that manager arrived. Spite shouldn't be a reason to frequent an establishment, but there is a part of me that enjoys seeing the annoying, entitled, my-server-is-my-servant customers of Washington County and Greater Portland in general get taken down a few pegs. Front Row seemed to decide long before the pandemic that it was done taking shit and that it was going to give as good as it got. If I have to suffer through mushrooms on a chicken parm or swiss and horseradish on a "Philly" cheesesteak to witness that customer comeuppance, that's a price I'm willing to pay. read more

This place is in the middle of a strip mall. It may be difficult to find a parking spot but it will only be a short walk if you park away from the venue. There is not a host or hostess so you must find a seat wherever you can. First come First serve. Seat yourself. This place is loaded with TVs and every TV can be on a different channel. There is not a bad seat in the house. The venue has some strong cocktails (plus) and a couple of beers on tap. I ordered the nachos and was pleased. I ordered the Killer Lemonade and a Fort George; both were good. They sell AMFs for $7 (Good and strong). I will return. read more

I'll be honest, I didn't have high hopes for this place. We had been on the road and a lot of places are a miss. It was late night on the road and me and my kids popped into here and it was busy-ish for 9:30 Tuesday night. We seated our selves in a corner and thought great, is anyone going to see us. But lo and behold our waitress did and she was a breath of fresh air. We were tired, hungry and a little grumpy She approached our table with a smile and was so pleasant. She took our drink order and and gave us time. When it was time to order, my daughter wanted the nachos but basically without everything but chips, cheese and steak. I said really !? But she said it's okay, we could do that for you, my daughter was happy. Like I said I was a little grumpy Food came out in good timing, we had apps and filled up on that by the time our regular meals came The food was really good ! Really good mozzarella sticks, the kind you could stretch and the chicken was really moist. Yum Made our driving back home a lot nicer. read more

Raw Shrimp and discriminatory waitress /bar tender. The place was pretty empty. Only 4 tables had people in it. -We were the only 2 color women and saw the waitress go to all 4 tables and skipped ours until we got her attention. She would check on the table next to us and not us. - our food took the longest to come out. All we are ordered was popcorn shrimp appetizer and a salad with shrimp. Again the only table that took the longest. Never checked on us. -my shrimp was raw on the inside ! And I showed her. During ordering I asked if they could grill the shrimp she said "yes". Well it was raw. When I told the rude waitress who kept rolling her eyes when she thought I didn't see. She said "I saw the chef grill it". Lied to my face. There was no grill marks on the shrimp at all. And we saw her the whole time at the bar and checking with other tables. Never did she see the chef grill anything. - I asked her if she can take it off the bill. She said I was going to with an attitude. - I asked to speak to the manager she said "I'm all there is tonight sweetie". Not once did she apologize. Not once did she check on our table. When I asked for salt she slammed it on the table and put it in corner of the table not at reach haha. - we paid the popcorn shrimp app my friend had and left. I ended throwing up the food on the side of the road. I could not stop. My stomach was hurting. The chef apologized and was kind. But the waitress was unapologetically discriminatory. read more

Had another visit and this time tried chicken tenders along with fried calamari. We also took some fries and Onion rings as well. Onion rings and calamari were good. Nothing special with tenders. Tastes similar to what we normally get in most places. Fries were a a huge left off. Not very appealing or crispy as it look. 3 stars this time is just for food. It's just that we need to order right item from their menu read more

If you're interested in a neighborhood bar experience, minors allowed, with unexpectedly delicious food, this is the place for you. Great menu, solid service, 360 degrees of tv's with the latest games on. Also some entertaining sports such as belly flop competitions or ultimate tag. They make their ranch dressing in house and it is phenomenal. My son loves feeling grown up and going to a bar. He loves the moist chicken strips. read more

What just happened? We were SHOOK after trying this place. In a good way. (recap so you don't have to read this book of a review) Food - hot, tasty and fresh serving breakfast/lunch/dinner every day. TV's everywhere for all sports. Lots of booths and tables and a bar. A few outdoor tables. Good parking right in front of the restaurant. Right off the highway. Sunday mornings are often a miss in the "hit and miss" situation, as we all have our go to's for breakfast or brunch, but seems like Sundays are always chaotic and just annoying waiting in line for a seat and gooey slowness in all corners, spending more time staring at your phone waiting in a doorway than enjoying others company at a cozy table. But, Front Row was drastically different. It actually made me enjoy the Sunday morning breakfast days again. Ah yes. There was no wait, but people coming and going, tables getting cleaned fast, and guests enjoying each other, but not for 3 hours straight enjoying each other. It's for people who want to eat and chit chat then leave and go on with their day business. Hubs and I had things to tend to. You know the Sunday...Costco, Target, Whole Foods, and a Ulta stop for me. Just you know...the basic suburban necessities getting situated for the upcoming week. But breakfast comes first! But....I don't really like breakfast. Like really...the once and while omelet is ok I suppose, but not regularly. I'm the straight to dinner girl or lunch will do. But eggs....bacon...hashbrowns. Nah I'll pass. But this is not the same for husband. We are night and day. Modern / classic. Hot sun / cold rain. Vodka / Chardonnay. Breakfast / Dinner. You get the idea. So seeing this restaurant/sports bar offers all 3 meals of the day, it was a good choice. (spring forward just happened that morning so we were a hour late than normal don't judge). So 10:30am rolled around, and we were there. I literally pass this place daily as this is straight up in my neck of the woods, I have tried it a couple times before in the past, but for regular bar apps and drinks during a blazers game. I remember it having the perfect sports bar vibe, clean and bright neon throughout of your fav beer on tap. It was good. But this Sunday was different....we were sat in a large D shaped cozy booth. There are a few of those, along with larger tables and high tops and bar seating as well. Nicely placed not to up close or to distant from each other. TV's all over the walls, so at every angle you are sure not to miss a game. They were very strategically placed too....it really was nice to see them from every point. The lighting too was dark, but not dreary dark since it was morning and there are a lot of windows (it's on a corner of a strip mall), it felt hustling and happy. The service was quick, to the point, and friendly. Not overly friendly either. And we were checked on a good 3 times during out meal.. Nice job. The food....now. We were delighted at this tastiness. I got a club sandwich w tots, and husband got a chicken fried steak w English muffin, eggs, and side of pancakes. HOW can a English muffin be toasted to perfection, hot and butter ratio to muffin ratio so spot on? I don't know...but they accomplished it. All the food was FRESH, like hot, crunchy straight outta the fryer/toaster/pan etc. My club was perfectly layered w all the club regs, perfect temp mayo, and cold crunchy lettuce were highlighted, which brought my sandwich together oh so well. Hubby's CFS looked a little bit on the smaller side at first sight, but it really wasn't, don't let it fool you...the steak is thickkkk. He was very happy with this juicy yet crunchy covered in country gravy breakfast. The pancakes were right on the money. I DO usually get a single pancake when we go anywhere that serves breakfast. Because I'm a pancake strumpet. And this pancake did not disappoint. I think of them as my little tasty fluffy dessert to my said meal. So all in all the food was amazing. I'm not even sure how or why the whole experience came together so well. It just did. We are now making this our American meal eatery of choice in the Hillsboro area. And we are stoked to watch the Seahawks play here in football season. I can tell it'll be a fab place to watch some Hawks with some other crazy 12's at our side. Great place to enjoy a laid back meal and then get back to your Sunday. read more

I was there yesterday around 5 to 7. Looked very busy yet no one to sit you down. Didn't see anything grill-like on the menu. Ordered happy hour items that ended up making me sick. Had a young female help me, she was the waiter/ bartender, and her customer service was terrible and acted very rude to the point I had to put my foot down. No one had sat us down from the start, I went up to her to fix my bill since they have QR codes she said "Go sit down I'll be right there, yet we were waiting for a long time..... then she went and tell me I did my bill wrong..... ( I know I went up to you for that). Then she started arguing and acting weird. I don't recommend this restaurant. Poor food quality and bad service, bad experience overall. read more

I have lost count of how many times I have been here and my husband doubles that. This is his place after softball games.

My boyfriend had been a regular for years. A few of the lady servers were so laser-focused on him they completely ignored me. It got to the point they wouldn't even take my order, only his.

Came in at 10:30 pm, and received quick, friendly service from a young woman attending to the frequent needs of all 20 customers. She was efficient, and the kitchen had piping- hot scratch-made calamari and chicken tenders under our noses within 5 minutes of each order. I had to compliment the young woman and the kitchen before leaving! read more
