At first, we weren't sure about the setup--whether to wait for a table or order at the bar--but it was so laid-back that we just found a seat and settled in. One of the things I loved was all the TVs on the walls--there were so many showing different games and the news. I'm not a huge sports fan, but it was really nice having that entertainment in the background while my fiancé enjoyed it too. We came mainly for the gambling machines, but everything else exceeded our expectations. My fiancé ordered our drinks at the bar--he got a Modelo and I had a Boneyard--and they were both excellent. For food, we tried the Cowboy Burger with fries, and wow... it was incredible. I was honestly in awe--it was that good! The service was also fantastic. The staff checked in on us without being intrusive, making sure we were comfortable and happy with our food. Overall, it was a relaxed, fun experience, and we left wanting to come back. We'd definitely recommend Hillsboro Bar and Grill to anyone looking for great drinks, amazing food, plenty of entertainment, and a welcoming atmosphere!

I was disappointed by some of the conversation going on between some of the regulars and the bar staff. Comments made about the LGBTQ+ community, comments about transgender people, very disheartening. Obviously customers will be customers. I guess as a gay human, I expected or at least had hoped, that a place with BLM signs and pride flags hanging up to maintain a healthier environment for all it's guests. I ended up leaving and heading to Noble Hop. I am not saying I will not be back but I certainly do not plan to anytime soon.

The place across the road that's changed its branding from diversity to something more boot-scoot friendly while trading in local bands for line dancing and country cosplay? Yep, that's a hick bar and it's trying really hard to give you a country-fried boutique next door and a drunk-country playlist to convince you of its bona fides. A dive bar, especially a great one, doesn't have to make much of an effort to convince you of its merits. My Place looks absolutely frightening from the outside, to the point that if it wasn't located it Forest Grove, I'd have it pegged as a mob joint. There are two small, high windows, one sign (that isn't for the lottery), and a solid wooden door that looks as if it exists to repel battering rams. And inside? It looks like a place that was designed to ride out Prohibition. Your decor's mostly the bar, woodwork, and vintage coolers, along with some pool tables and lottery machines. It's lit largely by Christmas lights and distributor-supplied neon. It's an old card room turned lottery bar. But amid the cheap pours of Pabst and Widmer and cans of Hamm's and Keystone is a bar menu that puts a town full of far newer competitors to shame. We're what, two breweries in at the other place across the street and nobody on this block has managed a burger better than My Place? This grill and this recipe must be guarded with as many lives as we can throw at them, because this thing rivals OG Stanich's. Meanwhile, between the steak special, the reuben, and the fact that you can get a club sandwich here at just about any hour--and get everything at insanely reasonable cost--I don't know why I keep putting myself though the aggravation of crossing the street to its neighbors. Let the folks in those new tract homes up the way eyeball this place in fear. Let that NO MINORS sign keep diverting their kids to the brewery and food cart of the moment. Every time I walk in here, I feel like I've found Forest Grove's best secret--and if it means sitting with a bunch of over 40s and not particularly caring what the area's parents think about school politics or NASCAR, that's fine with me.

We had been all over town and walked out of several places because they would not allow us to watch it even though their bars were empty (good business call OG). Chanel was super nice right from the start and let us watch it in a private corner of the restaurant, she even turned up the volume so we could hear the president and military singers. We were having a great time and enjoying great service when I turned around only to see about a dozen new customers behind us enjoying the show along with us. And guess what? Spending money!! I don't understand how people can live in this country and not respect it?! Great job Chanel and McMenamins!

We just happen to be driving by and hungry. It was a Saturday afternoon and pretty dead to be honest. They had a few Tabs on and tuned into an NFL football game. The decor was actually pretty cool and I love the ceiling especially. Our server was also the bartender and gave us great service. We ordered the communication breakdown burger with tots and told them we were going to share it. They actually cut it in half for us and split it. We didn't ask for this but they did it and we were thankful. Way to read your customers! I wanted to get a beer but honestly the beer offerings did not excite me. Truth be told, most of the time McMenamins has average beers but they do occasionally hit one out of the park. Nothing wrong with their beers but I am a picky beer drinker so if I am paying almost $9 for a pint I have higher standards. If you just need a beer, this place has several good options. Don't let me deter you, as I said I'm just picky. Plenty of parking available and some outside seating that is covered. Definitely a great place to just chill.

I appreciated that they can make me a non-alcoholic drink that's not soda PLUS it doesn't taste funky (some places don't clean their lines enough, so it has a funk taste to all the carbonated drinks). Because of all the TVs I find it hard to hear conversations, if they could tone that down it would make this place better. Come here for when you want to experience some of Hillsboro's best dive out!
