Wowwwwww! What an incredible meal! We were here on Sunday and sat outside. Had a rose', my…read morehusband had a beer, and the best lunch we've had anywhere since traveling to Oregon. The hummus platter was generous, and the toasty fresh bread was insane. Whatever the spicy sauce was in the hummus, we were fans. I had a killer salad, my husband had the pork sandwich. The service was lovely. That waitress was working her ass off outside and was super attentive and wonderful. Elevated bar food is an understatement. This didn't feel like a chain restaurant experience. Would eat here again in a heartbeat!

Came here to grab some beers and food after white water rafting. Was a beautiful day to sit on the…read morepatio and enjoy the weather. A nice refreshing beer was exactly what was needed after all the work rafting. For a starter we got the artichoke dip. This was some of the best dip I've ever had. I could have eaten this as my whole meal and ate too much that I wasn't super hungry when my burger came. I wasn't too upset about that though because the dip was a lot better than the burger. The bacon jam and onions on the burger were great, but the burger itself was slightly dry.

I love sitting on the large patio and service has always been excellent. They have several beers. But I really enjoy their food. Previously I had the Nashville chicken sandwich. This time, I enjoyed the lamb gyro: Lamb, cucumber, pepperoncini, tomato, red onion, romaine lettuce, feta, and tzatziki, wrapped in grilled pita. I subbed a Caesar salad for the side. The salad was fresh and the dressing was good. The side was pretty large. But I enjoyed it and would opt for it again. I LOVED the lamb gyro. The meat was tender and flavorful. Everything went well together and it was good sized as well. I highly recommend if you're in the area!

For mains, my friend ordered the elk burger, and as a self-proclaimed elk burger connoisseur, her approval means something -- she thoroughly enjoyed it. I went with the pulled pork sandwich, which was good and flavorful, and paired really well with their pepper & cabbage coleslaw on the side. We also split a cup of the roasted red pepper and tomato bisque, which was honestly a highlight of the whole meal -- rich, well-balanced, and worth ordering on its own. Drinks deserve a shoutout too: their non-alcoholic options were great. My friend raved about the guava lemonade, and I had the blueberry vinegar shrub, which was excellent -- bright, crisp, and refreshing.

Close enough to PDX hotels to Uber. The food was spectacular. The salads are huge. The ribs looked amazing. The lamb meatloaf was extremely tasty and the chicken pesto fettuccine was able to be made without fettuccine for me with just extra veggies and it was stellar. They did not even balk at substituting the extra veggies.. the swordfish special with the mushroom risotto and grilled asparagus was awesome. Everything was cooked to perfection and our waiter. Torben was the highlight. He had a wonderful, can-do attitude, very accommodating and extremely friendly. He really treated us amazing and his workplace as though restaurant was his taking pride in his job. The desserts that walked by our table made me wish I had only shared a meal with someone. Everything looked incredible. This needs to be put on your top five to try list.

I can't say enough good things about the food and service here! We initially sat indoors because…read morethere weren't any tables available on the patio, but as soon as one opened up, we moved outside to enjoy the gorgeous view of the Columbia River. It was stunning and made the experience even better. I had the Jamaica hard cider, and it was so good that I had to buy a crowler to take home, i brought it back to California! The Blackened Chicken Sando was amazing!! It was perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. I paired it with a side salad, which was also great. My kids ordered burgers and fries, and husband Bacon Jam Burger. Between the breathtaking views, outstanding service, delicious drinks, and incredible food, this place exceeded all of our expectations. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area.

This is our go-to spot in Cascade Locks…read more The space is huge and there's a patio upstairs with a killer view of the bridge. It's the perfect spot to enjoy the weather and grab a bite after a hike. The menu is mostly burgers with some salads and rice bowls. My daughter and I split a salad and the Deluxe Burger. The burger was good, pretty solid, nothing special to note. The fries were really good and it seems like their sweet potato waffle fries are really popular, we saw them on almost every table. The Caesar was a very large portion, but a little too heavily dressed. It was also not a super flavorful dressing. Overall, this is a solid option if you are in town!

The owner Tina is so kind and sweet and she has a great staff. The newer outdoor BBQ area that is open when its nice out is freaking out of this world tasty with all the meats!!

They had a nice draft and bottle selection of German beer. The food was delicious. The pretzel was scrumptious with 3 dipping sauces that were all good. I ordered the Jägerschnitzel, prepared breaded and pan fried like a Wienerschnitzel. It was cooked perfectly with the pork tender and thin. The red cabbage was great too. The warm German potato salad was not traditional. It tasted more like seasoned fried potatoes, but they were still good. My only suggestion would have been a little more gravy. My husband got the Maultaschen, which we had never had. It was a pasta filled with sautéed leeks & cheese, topped with asparagus, & mushrooms in white wine sauce...delicious. Everything was great!!!

I needed protein but it's ALL ABOUT THE BRETZEL (with fermented beer cheese, spicy Dijon, and better-than-butter chicken FAT). It's chewy and toasty and crusted in very fine flake salt - DIVINE! Hausgemachte Wurst (x2 wurst) - Weisswurst was smooth & slightly smoked, excellent with curry ketchup. Bratwurst was shorter & grilled, perfectly herby, although Dijon adds heat - needed because it was a little dry. Add-on Spatzle is comforting, a little charred, probably better with a Bock or Pilz (or CHZ PLZ!). To make it all go down EZ - the very best kraut I've ever had anywhere - rich with slight fruit (ACV?), and smooth like butter. It's warming winter food but still tasty AF in the sunshine.

Their beer flights come with 6 pours each and it's served in a tall sail (or sharkfin?) shaped tower, each choice is labeled so you know what you're drinking. Their burger with bacon tomato jam was a 10/10! So much flavor and the bun was fresh and lightly buttered and toasted (this really takes it up a notch!). The meat was very tender and lots of flavor (tasted high quality). It's served with a heaping order of fries (or you can upcharge it for $2 and do salad, soup or sweet potato fries). Their chicken wings were tender and came off the bones easily while still having crispy edges. Perfection. After a swim in the river across the street, this place is a chill spot for good food, beer and service. They have indoor seating with views and outdoor seating as well. Inside was nice and cool on a hot day. I'm already looking forward to the next visit!

We decided to sit inside, please be aware that it might be a bit cold depending where the air vent is located in conjunction to where you're sitting. The service was okay.

b² Taphouse &Brewery is a place I haven't been to before. I hit all of the breweries quite some…read moretime ago in Salem (also learned to drink more smartly after that trip) and a few more have popped up since. I didn't get the impression this place makes it's own beer as all I saw was guest taps... which is okay because the list was quite large. Looking in Untappd it does look like they indeed made their beer at one point and time and maybe they still do... I just didn't see any on the list. So tsking my own advice and drinking smartly I got a root beer here that was also on tap along with the beer. I don't recall who exactly made the root beer but it was from a brewery and some craft breweries make absolutely fantastic craft sodas and this one was very good! The place seems to have spacious seating but placing orders up at the front counter can get congested. This place is in a cool spot so despite not finding beer I still walked away from it feeling it was a positive experience.

I ordered the Beaver Dam with cheddar and mozzarella for pickup. When I stopped in to grab it I got a chance to look around and this place has a fun, neighborhood vibe with a bar, seating and games like pool and darts that make it seem like a good hangout spot. The food was excellent. No frills, just tasty. The bread was perfectly toasted, the cheese was gooey and satisfying, and every bite hit the spot. After so many disappointing meals on the road, I was refreshed to have something so simple that was so well executed. It was exactly what I wanted. I found myself slowing down just so that I could savor every bite and by the time I finished I was seriously considering going back for another sandwich. If that doesn't tell you how good it was. I don't know what will. They absolutely nailed it and if I lived in the area, I would be here all the time. If you're looking for some good simple comfort food at a welcoming local spot, this is the place.

It was a Saturday evening about 6:00 pm so we knew we might get caught in a crowd and were prepared to wait. I was impressed with our server and the different menu options she shared with us. We each ordered a simple cup of soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. (see pics) The vibe was great with darts, shuffleboard and a DJ setting up for karaoke night. How fun! Here's where it went downhill. We waited over 20 minutes to get our food, we never were asked if we needed anything else or if our food was good ( or correct) and our water and ice tea glasses were never refilled. Now I realize that our very nice server was busy, but she passed our table SEVERAL times without saying a word. As for our food, my chicken noodle soup had way too much pepper in it and my husband's tomato bisque was too spicy. (& he likes it spicy!!). Also, I ordered cheddar cheese not swiss cheese for my grilled cheese sandwich. I eventually decided to eat it since I was hungry and knew that I'd have to wait even longer if I returned it. This is our second visit here and sadly the service wait time then (about 6 months ago) was also "forgettable" All and all, if you are going to hang out and party with your friends, I would say GO! But if you want to go and get a meal, be prepared to be patient and allow A LOT of time.

Oh, and the strawberry lemonade? What did they out in that--Delicious! even the potatoes were rich with flavor. Plus, generous serving sizes But wow... shout out to the desserts! The bourbon cobbler crisp and key lime pie completely stole the show. (And no, there are no pictures of the desserts because they were just too good to wait--we ate them instantly! ‍) To top it all off, the chef/owner came right to our table to share the inside scoop on their locally sourced produce and meats, and even personally recommended our desserts. The atmosphere was comfortable but it was five star. Our server knew her stuff and was so warm and responsive. Talk about world-class hospitality! ‍Happy Anniversary to us!
