How have I not been here before!?! Frontier Public House is a hidden gem! Great service as soon as we walked in (great seeing you Joey)! We sat out in the spacious outdoor seating area. The drinks here are great! We tried a couple and they were all good. The nachos were tasty too! I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu! Great service, great drinks, great food! read more

Had not been here in over 5 years so wanted to come back and give it another try. Overall a great spot for Hazel Dell - great service, welcoming vibe, and good menu options. I got their steak kebabs which were good, and the dipping sauce definitely is the cherry on top. My husband ordered their steak which had a great grill flavor. Based on other reviews I've read, it's clear they really know how to make their meat dishes sign! Would definitely come back if I'm looking to stay close to home. read more

This was my first time visiting the area for leisure, and we decided to give this restaurant a try based on its inviting atmosphere. We were seated within just a couple of minutes, which made for a great first impression. One thing I noticed right away was that the dining room seemed to be operating with a limited staff. I only saw two servers working, so it took a little while before someone came to greet us, bring water, and take our drink order. Throughout the meal, we also had to flag down our server a few times for water refills. Despite that, once we placed our food order, everything came out fairly quickly. Our table ordered a variety of dishes, including fish and chips, sushi, steak, salads, and dessert, so we were able to sample several different menu items. Overall, everyone enjoyed their meals. My fish was a little dry, and the fries were thinner than I prefer and had cooled off by the time they reached the table. I also noticed the tartar sauce was different from what I'm used to--it tasted more like ranch dressing with a hint of horseradish. They also didn't offer cocktail sauce, which is something I personally enjoy with fish and chips. Those are personal preferences, but they're worth mentioning for anyone considering that dish. On the positive side, the sushi, steak, and salads received good reviews from everyone at the table, and the desserts were an excellent way to finish the meal. The restaurant itself had a pleasant atmosphere, and despite the limited staff, everyone was friendly and doing their best to keep up with the dinner rush. Overall, we had a good experience. While there were a few things that could have been better, nothing was bad enough to ruin the evening. If I find myself back in the area, I would probably try another restaurant simply because there are so many options nearby. However, if I did return here, I would likely order something different from the menu. Based on what the rest of my family enjoyed, I think some of the other dishes may be a better choice. read more

Frontier Public House - Fish and Fish & Chips (3 Pc) - New American Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Went with a group of friends the other night. Our server was very attentive and helpful. A friend and I split a fish and chips, but since it comes with 3 pieces we ordered another piece. It was really good. The batter was shatteringly crisp and the halibut was good. I wasn't so impressed with the food my friends got. The steak was expensive and she was want impressed. The Reuben sandwich comes with pepper jack according to the menu. Hmmm...does that marry well with sauerkraut? Not to me. Anyway, this place seems like it needs a facelift. We weren't impressed with the rice cooker on a chair near the restrooms. It does have a casual vibe and like I said, the fish and chips were really tasty. read more

Frontier Public House - Fish and Chips - New American Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

I loved my fish & chips. They were halibut and beer battered. You get 3 not overly big pieces. They seem to have an identity crisis. They have quite a variety of food from fish & chips, steak, burgers and sushi. Wait-sushi? I don't think that goes with their vibe and I really wouldn't order that from them. Their Reuben is listed on the menu as being made with pepper jack cheese! No thanks. I like my Reuben's made the traditional way. My friend ordered a steak for $48. She was not at all happy. It was very fatty and was quite thin. She had a salad (looked like mostly greens) and it also came with veggies and mashed potatoes. Wish I had snapped a photo of that. Another friend had chicken Marsala. She enjoyed it. I thought it was weird they had a huge rice cooker on a chair in the dining room. It was plugged in, with the cord running up the side of the door frame and plugged into an extension cord above the door. Wonder what the fire inspector would say about that? I'd go back for the fish & chips. Service was fast and our server did a great job. read more

Heard they had chicken and dumplings so I had to stop in and try them out. The dish was yummy and hearty. Not too salty, right amount of pepper and just a nice comforting meal. The portion was large so definitely enough for me to take home and have another meal. Service was prompt and they were nice. The ambiance was a little dark and overall a tad lacking. But I'll be back for the chicken and dumplings! read more

Big surprise!! First time meeting here for a book club luncheon. Very impressed with easy location, greeted by staff, quickly seated. The restaurant was an outdoorsy feel and clean. Their menu was plenty to choose from. I ordered the Buddha Bowl with Chicken. Delicious!! Nice looking presentation and very good. Others ordered Burgers to Pork and Brisket sandwiches. Every thing looked good and everyone was happy with their order. By the time we left, they were super busy. Definitely a local crowd pleaser. I would definitely comeback. read more

Frontier Public House - Buddha Bowl - New American Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

I've been meaning to check this place out for quite some time (I am newer to the area) and finally made it there yesterday for lunch. We had a delightful experience in our comfort, the service (Jane is an absolute peach!), menu variety, the food, and the prices. I had the blackened halibut tacos, which includes two huge tacos and a generous portion of housemade coleslaw. My dining companion went with a quesadilla which she said was lovely. We also made sure to save room for dessert, her having the brownie sundae, and I went with a crème brûlée, which I was very excited to learn was available at lunchtime. She loved her brownie sundae and it was quite large so a good portion of it went home with her. I didn't especially care for the crème brûlée; I might be a crème brûlée snob, I don't know! But everything else that we had was really great. There is a covered outdoor area that was very tempting, but the temps were up just a bit yesterday so we opted to eat inside. Ample parking was available and I love that even with the close proximity to downtown, there was no fee to park. Plan to go back sometime soon for prime rib! read more

Wherever you live you have a few go-to places. Frontier is one. Food is great, service is better. Chicken and dumplings are a favorite, as is the chopped wedge salad with extra bacon. Been here many many times but have never sat outside. Need to do that. read more

A little off the beaten path spot that is super fun and really good food. They have happy hour every day 3 to 6. Beers and cocktails at a great price. Five dollars. I enjoyed a vodka cranberry. The service is very prompt and friendly We each started off with a wedge salad from the happy hour menu. Man it was so delicious! Tons of tasty bacon, Lardon. A huge wedge of iceberg. Lots of cheese and a tasty creamy dressing. This was a huge win for me. We tried that side pasta plate. Penne, pasta, and an Alfredo sauce. Just the right portion for a happy hour treat. Super creamy and delicious. Definitely coming back to this spot to try some other good eats They have a parking lot, so that was not an issue. Not sure how I missed the spot before but now I know! read more

Always great food fast and amazing service with great ambience. We love coming here!!

I've tried this place a few times I er the years and it's just not good. I asked for the shredded chicken as an extra and it came out as pieces of thigh meat that tasted old. My meal wasn't good and would not recommend coming back. Service was great and ambiance was nice. Just not their food. read more

Seating was uncomfortable cause they were having a private event so we had to do high tops. I had chicken fried oyster that tasted wonderful. Others had brisket sandwich that was huge. Nice crispy onion rings. read more

Frontier Public House - Oysters Brisket sandwich - New American Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Came in around 5:30pm on a Friday evening. We got a seat at one of the long tables by the bar. Man those stools they you sit on there are way uncomfortable. I left there about 15 mins ago and my ass and back still hurt. She got the short ribs. They call them short ribs like the big beefs ribs but they are not. They are flank style ribs not beef short ribs. Oh well, that's mis advertising. She did it really like the ribs and neither did my friend. She did like the brussel sprouts and the mashed potatoes that came with it. I ordered a salad with my Ruben and ended up getting tater tots. I had to remind the waitress that I needed my salad. Plus, the waitress was kind of impatient when we sat down wanting to take our drink orders right away when we had not even had a chance to look at the beer menu. Omg the beer menu does not even tell you where the beers come from it just says IPA. Lol My Ruben had hot red peppers on it. Weird. Not much meat and tons of sour kraut. Plus, the bread on the bottom was soggy. Oh well, that place got packed. $64.00 for two for dinner with one beer each. Might not be back. read more

Food is great! We had the fried oysters, wedge salad, beet salad, brisket sandwich, shrimp pesto pasta, and kids mac & cheese. Everything was delicious. Super impressed with the kids mac & cheese! Cocktails were on point! Service was okay but it was a busy Friday night. Made a reservation but had to wait for a table anyways due to the already full restaurant. Kind of on the loud side since it's one large open room but definitely still easy to talk at the table. Love the casual vibe and outdoor area in the warmer months! read more

It had been awhile since we'd been to Frontier Public House. I ordered the Beet, apple, goat cheese salad. $15.00 (no protein included) This is one of my favorites salads, but Frontier definitely FAILED on their version. First of all, presentation... Should be served on a plate where you can see the nice big chunks of roasted beets, apple, goat cheese and nuts. Frontiers version was served in a bowl with minimal tiny bits of beets...apples? Nuts were crumbs and hardly any goat cheese. Big hunks of raw onion. Disappointed read more

I love this place! Excellent food-we had halibut fish & chips that came w an amazing coleslaw made w chipotle chilies-yum. The chicken club was delicious. And the wine list has Stoller wines-always a plus. to top it off, our server, despite being slammed with a heavy pre-holiday weekend crowd, did a spectacular job juggling hand made cocktails, full tables & a busy kitchen. Amazing job Frontier Public House-we're going to spread the word and be back soon. read more

I don't often leave reviews unless they're deserved! This place was so good! The food was fresh and flavorful! We had their beet salad and Brussel sprouts as an appetizer and I think I will dream about the flavors of both! My husband had the rueben and only finished half (we got full from the apps) and even though we were running errands and weren't going straight home after he said "I need to take it home, it's too good to leave behind" My 2 picky kids loved their chicken strips which shocked me because they are CRITICS of chicken strips- especially the hand breaded ones and they loved them! My son said he's never had a kids burger that was "so juicy"! The waitress was so attentive and sweet! It was our first visit but definitely won't be our last! Again it was so so good! read more

A friend and I found ourselves in Hazel Dell yesterday. A quick search of lunch options led us to the Frontier.we were both happy with the outcome. Frontier is a friendly place, the kind of place where even though the servers know the names of the locals, they welcome strangers in with open arms. The menu is full of good, home cooked, real food. And the bar serves up delicious drinks with generous pours. My friend went with a cheeseburger and onion rings. The burger was thick, well cooked, dripping with cheddar. She loved the onion rings. They were light and airy, not greasy. And big. When I saw chicken and dumplings on the menu I knew what I had to order.a childhood favorite, its hard to find them these days. I make a pretty good version myself, but because they are time and labor intensive, not very often. The Frontier's version was thick, creamy (almost too much so), with tender chicken slices throughout. The dumplings are peppery, small, and kind of dense chewy rather than fluffy, but I finished them off. I also had a blueberry martini which had real berries in it bit was pretty kick ass and not overly sweet. I forgot to take pictures until we were about to leave so you'll have to go there yourself to see your choices. It's worth the drive. frontierpublichousevancouver.com read more

Need to get out of the house on a Friday night and found Frontier Public House. I saw they had Halibut Fish and Chips so I was in, thinking about now I'm wondering if I was channeling my inner Catholic. The bar at the Frontier has a county /cowboy feel, unsurprisingly. The crowd seemed to be regulars out for dinner and a drink. The staff were very friendly. My sever was Cara. I started with the Frontier Old Fashioned. Well made and strong. I love a Luxardo cherry. I ask for food recommendations, mentioning leaning towards the F&C, it was not easy. The menu has a number of delicious sounding options. The Oyster Po Boy looked good and a guest next to me had the Mama's Reuben, the pastrami was piled on. Cara confirmed the Fish & Chips was a solid choice. The fish was fresh and the tempura was light and very little greasiness. While the pieces seemed small to this over sized human, like me, 2 2oz pieces might be a meal for most. I added a third piece and wasn't disappointed. Fries seem to be double fried, crispy on the outside and soft inside. Almost perfection Slaw has a little bit of a sour, in a good way, but it's nothing compared to the fish and fries. I'll be back to try more of their delicious drinks and food. read more

Went for happy hour. Great service and good food. Nice atmosphere. Clean. Will go back.

We came in for a late lunch on Friday. There were plenty of open tables and we were seated right away. They had a great list of drinks, alcoholic and non. My husband ordered a mango habanero drink which he liked. I had the non-alcoholic strawberry rosemary shrub. My kids ordered a shirley temple and apple juice. All around the drinks were good tasting and a good size. For food we ordered the nachos, fish and chips, kids burger, and kids grilled cheese. The nachos were so yummy and piled high with toppings. The fish and chips were good too. My youngest was a bit sad about the size of his hamburger ( it was a bit small) but he said it was tasty. My oldest had grilled cheese and tater tots. We all agree that the tater tots were really good. The food was really good and we found that it was a very good value. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to eat in the area. read more

I love this place! Always great service and nice staff. The Crème Brûlée is marvelous. The chef waited to see the look on my face while I was eating it. They really take pride in their presentation. I can recommend the " Naked And Almost Famous" cocktail with Mezcal! Wow, I love it there. read more

This is in my neighborhood. I had visited a couple of years ago and was totally unimpressed with their food - pretty much typical American fare not done particularly well (2 stars). Last night we went over again because it looked like they had a new menu online. The food was totally excellent! I had blackened halibut, which was cooked perfectly and had great complimentary salsa, black rice and asparagus. My partner had chicken marsala, which was also done quite nicely. We had chocolate torte for dessert, which was also excellent. We will be going back very soon. Prices were very reasonable and service was good. read more

Excellent eating experience at the Frontier Public House. The food tasted very fresh and wasn't super oily. My partner got the Reuben and it tasted like they made the pastrami there. Other places, it tastes like old deli meat. I got the burger without cheese since they only had Colby Jack and cheddar. I usually prefer Swiss on my burgers and they didn't have that option - which is fine! My water was filled up frequently and the bathroom was very clean. My only gripe was the side soup I got (to replace my fries) was very salty. read more

Foods ok, service is ok, drinks are ok. Could definitely do better, but overall not bad.

Have been here many times over the past 10 years and enjoyed it. Was going to Happy Hour because they had good tacos for $4.50 including fish or shrimp tacos. Yesterday was surprised to see the price for HH was $6 (for a taco????) and the would have to have a magnifying glass to find the shrimp. Apparently, the chef now cuts up the 3 shrimp per taco so it is the same size as the veggies inside and I could not tell what was shrimp and what was veggies. Very disappointing. It was like having a veggie taco which is okay but not for $6 and not when I ordered shrimp read more

Very good food. We have been here several times (one of our favorite spots). Always consistent, but it's not just the food that brings us back, it's the staff! Excellent service and always feel very welcome. Very comfortable being here. It will get a bit loud during busy times, a byproduct of the acoustics of the place, but well worth dealing with it. read more

Ordered thru Post mates - wanting to try a local place we hadn't before. Their menu looked interesting...selected Fish & Chips. Fries were crispy but fish wasn't - not crispy and not too mushy but close. Coleslaw had an interesting twist - cilantro. Tarter sauce had a lot of "dill" to it. The sweet corn quesadilla was interesting. The smothered fries and gravy was slightly disappointing. Maybe it would have been better being delivered directly from kitchen to the table. It's worth a shot regardless. read more
