McMenamins Sunnyside Pub - Pubs Near Me - Clackamas, Oregon

The McMenamins Sunnyside Pub is located on the other side of the highway by Clackamas Town Center in a business park. It's probably the least McMenaminsy of all the McMenamins since there is very little history behind this spot. They do try to give it that McMenamins flare inside with a dark atmosphere, typical artwork and kegs lying around the bar. We were in the area picking up some supplies for our New Years party, so it was a perfect time to swing by and grab some tots, a beer, and a stamp in our passports. They had a spiced Cider on tap which was nice from the normal. Also had a healthy amount of seasonal beers which I'm really starting to enjoy. Our server was awesome. Really personable (I think his name was Mike) and attentive. Happily offered a sample of the cider and just overall really nice. 3 stars really for the location. Not a bad experience at all and would certainly go back if the occasion arose. read more

We are having construction done on our home and have to eat out until they put the kitchen back together. We have taken this as an opportunity to try lots of places that we would not normally get to try. We have eaten at several good places BUT we keep ending up back here. We have eaten here at least 25 times! It is such a nice little place with yummy food. The food is consistently delicious. We have eaten most of the meals they offer. Maria's Masterpiece with garlic jus (ask for it, it doesn't come with this sandwich normally) is my favorite! Cajun tots ROCK! And the staff is so amazing! Super nice and down to earth. As many times as we have been here we have not had ANY bad encounters with any staff members. Yes, we will keep coming back here long after the home repairs are done. And now they have the ROCKEN ketchup!! read more

Man, all the not-so-good reviews for Clackamas McMenamins! I live about 7 minutes away, so when I'm craving a Wilbur Burger, I come here. I REALLY like this place! I have been to other McMenamins as well and I don't really see a difference in food or service. I pretty much always get the Wilbur and tots (on top of an appetizer of tots) and the boyfriend always gets the Backyard Burger and a salad and a Ruby or a Rubinator (his newfound love). The appetizer tots are a great size (with leftovers) and the cajun ones that we get sometimes are flavorful. I wish they were spicy though. The peppercorn ranch is one of my favorite things in the world. I usually dip my burger in that. Is that a culinary no-no? I don't care. The one thing I don't like is sitting at a table. I always feel so exposed. I will suck it up and do it, but if we're at a table and a booth opens up, I ask to be moved. The boyfriend loves it when I do this - NOT. I think what seals the deal for me is the service. I think we've only had one bad experience with a new server and we actually haven't seen that one since that experience. The servers are fantastic. If we haven't been in in a while, they greet us as if we are long lost friends. It's a good feeling. read more

I have never written a review of anything on Yelp--ever. But I felt compelled to write this one. When I went there for a very late lunch on Saturday (just before 3 p.m.), the pub wasn't very busy. I waited a bit at the "Please wait to be seated" sign--not like several minutes or anything, but long enough to be seen and acknowledged--and when it didn't happen, I made my way to the bar. There were no other patrons seated at the bar, and there were a lot of staff behind the bar. I received prompt service for my drink order (Ruby) and asked for a menu. I was told I needed to wait while someone finished doing something else. Huh? If they'd told me where the menu was (near where I was seated), I would have been happy to pick one up. I looked at the menu and quickly decided on the Garden Burger with fries. At this time there were about 3 women behind the bar, singing along with the radio. I waited, hoping to be acknowledged, as I wanted to ask how the Garden Burger was dressed. No one even looked at me as they chatted and sang and discussed someone's new baby. When a young woman came near me, I told her I had some questions. She answered my questions and I placed my order. My food came quickly, but it was a horror story, especially the fries. Oh. My. God. They were saturated with oil to the point where they were totally limp and inedible. The garden burger itself fell apart on the bun despite the "secret sauce" and condiments. As I worked my way through the burger, no one asked me either how the food was, nor if I wanted anything else. The only thing I got from anyone was the bill. After finishing the burger (I left most of the fries on the plate), I was desperate to wash the grease off of my hands and went to the ladies' restroom. The soap dispenser was out of soap, so all I could do was scrub and hope that I got enough of it off of my hands in order to be able to drive away. I will not be back. read more

I usually like McMenemins but today was a real disappointment. Our server was sub par and the food was worse. I had fish & chips. The fries were left in the frier too long. They were dark brown and brittle throughout.The fish batter was dark brown as well. And who puts horseradish in coleslaw? We got a weak, "I'm sorry" from the server when I pointed it out the next time she came back, to clear our plates. No offer to replace them. My daughter's gyros sandwich was crunchy, dry & greasy on top and soggy on the bottom. The tomato was anemic. Salad and dressing was skimpy. Our server never checked back with us to ask about the food. We counted 5 employees and the restaurant was 2/3 full so they didn't appear understaffed. Long wait for everything, from taking our orders, bringing the food, and presenting the bill. To be fair, my sister's Ruben was good and so were the tots. read more

I'm writing pretty much the same as the other low ratings...service/wait time. It was a Friday night around 6:30, full, not packed. There was one man ahead of me and the server offers him options to sit at the bar or a table, I'm ignored. I sign the waiting list, a couple walk in after I've been there for a few minutes. The same server walks past me and points out a table to the two who came in after me! WTF...am I invisible! He just totally ignored me and blew me off! Finally a very sweet server comes to the rescue! She was fantastic and doesn't fit the other service in this establishment. I'd give it a 5 star just because of her, but I can't, without her this place sucks. read more

A nice place to eat any time of the day. The size is quite nice for any occasion. Cool staff too. read more

McMenamins Sunnyside Pub - Not even a hole in the wall. - Pubs Near Me - Clackamas, Oregon

Food is ok. Service sucks! I have seen my server twice in 45 minutes. It took 20 minutes to get a grilled cheese and the cook ended up serving me my drinks. I am in service industry and therefore a really great tipper. Until today! Sorry you reap what you sow. I'm not that demanding and I don't ask for much, this was ridiculous. read more

Not ok to make your customers wait ONE HOUR for your food! !! WTF. Why would this restaurant have only one cook? Learn how to staff properly so you can have happier customers, customers who will return. read more

McMenamins Sunnyside Pub - Pubs Near Me - Clackamas, Oregon

Went here Saturday night around 6 for dinner and was so disappointed. Saw the reviews and was cautiously optimistic. The server was not that good as we spent 20 minutes waiting for him to take our order and another 20+ minutes for our food. Ambiance and decor were nothing special and had NO vibe or personality. My son and I spent $50 on 2 dinner plates of fish and 1 glass of beer each. Beer is not that special either as we have been to places with both better beer and better selection. Sunday we went to tiny Evergreen Tavern in Rainier OR (read my review) we got the same fish (3 pieces of cod) with fries for the same price but at Evergreen we ALSO got nice big butterfly shrimp AND clams. Sunnyside fries was a greasy soggy limp mass of shoestring potatoes and very small steak fries. This is beyond dumb as anyone who CAN cook will tell you by the time the steak fries are done the thin shoestrings will be overdone, consequently one ends up with what I got, a mass of greasy starch that was pretty flavorless. There were not that many people (unlike Evergreen that was pretty full and had only 1 server for bar and floor and we STILL waited less time for her than at Sunnyside!) Aside from the fries (ugh) and the fish(greasy but ok), the mediocre at best server and the blase building itself, this place carries a distinction for me, it has the absolute WORST coleslaw I have EVER had! It was so disgusting I couldnt even chew the bite I spit out. It tasted like warm bad fish, did NOT feel, look or taste fresh and was inedible. So $25 (each) for 3 pieces of ok fish, nasty greasy fries and inedible slaw, and a glass of beer, all with a horrible wait time. NOT impressed. We spent $65 at Evergreen for the same or better fish (2 plates), 100% better fries (not great but not greasy or bad either) a burger plate (there were 5 of us) a glass of tap IPA and 7 bottles of corona! And we had better service/less wait time despite her being by herself and swamped! I would be VERY cautious of eating here as they seem to be ok with serving spoiled and under-cooked food. As for me there are enough other places where I can go that dont make me feel queasy or nauseous. read more

From the outside, The Sunnyside Pub just looks like a typical strip-mall joint; however, the inside is cozy. There are a handful of tables and booths, or you can sit at the bar. Our sever (he wasn't wearing a name tag) was very enthusiastic and friendly. My husband and I ordered some cajun tots, and even though we've ordered this staple at other McMenamins, they seemed even better at this location! The tots were hot and crispy, so kudos to the cook! We dip them in Portland ketchup, which trumps Heinz 57. :) I also ordered the seasonal hard cider- it was a spiced cider- and it was quite delicious! read more

The best thing about my experience here was the Terminator Stout. It is very good. The service was okay, the waitress was very nice, however she was easily distracted and forgetful. I had the Portland dip, The garlic jus was extremely salty. It was like dipping my sandwich into a bowl of soy sauce. The clam chowder was more like a bowl of chunky mashed potatoes, and I think I found one clam. I watched as the waitress checked the temperature of the so called soup, then proceeded to scoop it out of the large plastic tub into the stainless crock. From the crock, it was scooped into a bowl. I intend to try some of there other locations and hope the food is much better. read more

I've gone back a bunch of times since my initial review, and this place always satisfies. Tasty food, cute servers, no-rush atmosphere. I'm ready to go back again! read more

Literally the worst service I have ever had in my life. If a manager reads this, please contact me. My friend and I ordered food prior to arrival, due to having a limited time frame for our lunch break. Upon arrival we were sat and we then requested our food - which we could see sitting in to go containers at the bar. At that time we also ordered two beverages. Our waitress cleared tables and talked to the bartender. At that time, my friend went to the bar to retrieve our food. She again asked for our drinks. Our waitress came a few minutes later but without drinks. She then brought us the ranch we had ordered with our food. Still no drinks. We then went up to the bar to ask for drinks and our checks. We finally received drinks after 4 requests and our lunch break was almost over. We then paid our bill and returned to work. This occurred at 3:45 in the afternoon on a Sunday with an almost empty restaurant. read more

OK, it is a bar in a strip mall. Let's not fool each other. That said, it is a great place to grab a beer and a burger. They have all of the standard McMenimans beers and fare. The service is (generally) good, despite being busy. We always get served quickly and the help is always very friendly. If you are looking for a great view out the window, you are in the wrong place. If you want great beer, pub food and terrific service, this is the place for you! read more

Bleh. I usually like McMenamins but not this one. Slow service, smaller menu and the tables are too crowded together. Skip it. McCools up Sunnyside is a better bet. read more

Food came quickly and was delicious but as I'm typing this we've been waiting almost twenty minutes for a box and the check. The service is friendly but they are so slow and it's really not that busy. read more

I wanted to give five stars simply to offset the one star review, but honesty prevails; it's a solid four-star kinda place. DELICIOUS burgers, super crispy tots, and specials you'll miss when they're gone. (Examples: artichoke soup and sloppy joes.) They have great beer and a nice selection on tap. Service is friendly and laid back. Prices are fair. I'm really not sure what there is to dislike. read more

Great place for beer and a burger. it is the Typical McMenamins food and drinks which is always nice. The location on the other hand??? Yikes. Few hammerheads and it wont bother you but let me warn you, its fairly small. This is a good place to go if you are diving with the old ball in chain and she says "I don't care where we go I am just hungry" then you will pull into this little strip mall and get good quality McMenamins food. read more

As always mcmenamins is awesome! Careful ordering a medium burger they come a bit on the rare side. read more

McMenamins Sunnyside Pub - Best ketchup ever! - Pubs Near Me - Clackamas, Oregon

Shocked! Walked in for a quick lunch with my husband. Had to wait a few minutes to be seated, that's fine. The place wasn't THAT busy! Sat and got our drinks right away. We waited for over an hour to get our simple pub meal. Others came in waaay after us and were served their food rather quickly. Not sure what went wrong, but when food came, mine was so over done(fish and chips)..we're talking I needed a steak knife to cut it! When waitress came by to check, I to,d her it was overdone, her response was sorry.....I would not recommend this place if you are in a hurry and the service was just so so... read more

My go to local pub for an after work, or late night, drink and food. Great beer and mixed drinks. Food is good classic pub fare. Service is always great, sometimes can be a little slow when busy, but they always keep your drink filled and take care of you. read more

Not that I really care about language... I do curse like a sailor at times... But I don't do so at work. I don't talk about other co-workers behind their backs at work either... And I don't even work in a place that puts me in front of customers! This loud, chubby little waitress thought it was appropriate to talk as loud as possible about one of their new employees being a flake and not showing up for shifts and making other co-workers angry. She also continued by calling him a *ussy (you know, a lady part and/or cat). Now, I understand that there were only two tables seated... It was this past Saturday, so most people were probably getting ready for their Halloween parties, but come on. Yes, it's a pub, but minors are allowed into the restaurant until 10:00pm. This was definitely before 10:00... Probably closer to 7:00. But it's unprofessional on two levels. 1. We get to know all the drama in your poorly ran restaurant. 2. You're a foul-mouthed woman in a public setting. Our food got to our table pretty quick (for once) though... And it was completely covered in grease. It wasn't hard to pick up my burger because it was too hot from being fresh. It was hard to pick up because it was completely saturated in oil. I understand the fries, but really? The bun on my burger? This place is just a super hot mess. There was a long while I stopped coming here because I moved and was closer to the 205 McMenamins... But I think I'll drive an extra 15 minutes to hit that one if this is seriously what this one has come to. read more

I got the mustard chicken sandwich and a few IPAs. Foods good... pub food. Comfort food. The prices are less affordable. Not the pinnacle of budget drinking--but the booths are sturdy and the food is consistent. It wont make the Food Network channel, but it better than Buffalo Wild Wings. read more

Incredibly mediocre. McMenamins' Pub places are all over and this was my first taste. Really disappointed. Slow service and limited menu. If you have a limited menu, then do it well. This didn't follow that axiom. Had a burger and fries. Burger was okay but the fries were awful. Don't tout your "hand-cut" fries if they are as bad as the ones I got. Overall: if you are looking for a $12 burger of no distinction, go there. Otherwise hold off for another spot. read more

It was 1pm on a Tuesday, which might explain the poor service in this small strip mall Mcmenamins Pub. I had a 10 minute wait for my lunch companion to join me since I had arrived earlier than our scheduled meet time. I would have ordered a drink while waiting, but the waiter never made it to my table to inquire if I wanted anything. When my lunch companion arrived, the waiter efficiently took our drink order, but wasn't overly pleasant or friendly. Hey, we all have bad days. I ordered a Moscow Mule. It did not arrive in a traditional Copper mug. No big deal. After a slight stir, with the straw in the bottom of the glass, I took a sip. It was the worst Moscow Mule I've ever had. I could taste no ginger beer, just vodka and lime. When the waiter finally returned to take our food order, I questioned whether my drink had ginger beer in it. He got very defensive and rattled off the ingredients (including brand of ginger beer) and proportions of their traditional Moscow Mule drink. He suggested I stir it. I stirred again and sipped. It wasn't the refreshing gingery beverage I love although It's refreshing lime flavor wasn't undrinkable. I can understand the slow service, I can even forgive the less than gingery drink. The uncordial waiter, however, left me not wanting to frequent this Mcmenamins locale. read more

If you are going to take an order, not write it down and get it wrong don't bother. Seems to be the practice of the servers at this location. Well, that an then arguing and making excuses on top of it. This was the final straw. We will not be going back. read more

Service moved at a glacial pace. We literally stood by the door for about 30 minutes without any staffer even glancing in our direction. Despite the fact that they had a couple of open tables. Then, once seated, it took about 15 minutes to get a menu. However, the food was OK & there was air conditioning. Given the small number of the tables in the place and 6 visible staff, the ratio was about 2 tables per employee. Given that, you'd think they could pick up the pace, eh? read more

A small strip mall Mcmenimans? Yup. The food was very good, I had the bacon and egg burger with Cajun tots. The service was excellent even with the place filling fast for dinner. Great experience. read more

I've been to most mcminims in Portland/Vancouver and the service here is the best so far. I sat at the bar where I saw how the staff worked and the chef made the food. All I can say is wow. The team work was craZy good. Everyone was helping each other damnnnn the chef cooked good and fast I was very suprised Most places I see management yelling at other staff to work better but it was super busy tonight and they were just helping each other, never seen that before. Very suprised. Good was bomb! read more

McMenamins Sunnyside Pub - Sooooo good ! - Pubs Near Me - Clackamas, Oregon

One of the best local spots to get a delicious drink or tasty food. Happy hour is fantastic with snacks at a great price, and McM Ales are knocked down a buck. HH is also often a good time to go during the week if you prefer less of a crowd. During typical rush hours it can get quite busy. Don't confuse "bad/slow service" with "busy service". The waitstaff is always good, and because having a McMenamins in this area is a gem, I will always be forgiving of those busy times when this small kitchen gets busy--it helps to be a little understanding :) McMenamins is vegetarian/vegan/gluten free/dairy free friendly. Just ask your server. My fiancé and I try to get in at least once a week because there isn't really anywhere else in the Clackamas area that beats McMenamins' yummy comfort food and unbeatable brews. (And wine. And dessert. And oh, those burgers and Cajun tots... I could go on.) read more

Bad slow service. Waiting for a long time, I think they forgot me... then ordered a Turkey sandwich and didn't get any Turkey in it. I would say it's entirely the chefs fault but I mean why do I even tip a server if not to make sure my food is right? Was not offered any price reduction still full price. At least the food was good, but I could have gotten equal quality at Jersey Mike's. read more

Since my previous review, I've eaten here a couple of times. The food was cold, the service slow, and it didn't taste particularly good. Worst McMenamins I've eaten at. Would not eat here again. This is one of the smaller McMenamins, which is fine. I didn't try the food, but I had their own brand hard cider which was delicious. It had a nice "local" atmosphere with plenty of regulars which gave it a good pub vibe. However our server was WAY overeager. Despite the fact it wasn't busy he would arrive every 10 minutes to ask if we were done or wanted anything else. It was SUPER annoying. Otherwise I would give this spot a 4 star. read more

$15 for a burger slathered in mayo when specifically asked NO MAYO. what a waste of cash.

Other locations allowed passport stamps with takeout but West Linn and this location refused. It is frustrating to want to support Mcmenanins but this would also be a long drive to support and not be able to receive stamps if not comfortable eating in. read more

Came here for lunch with my husband. Restaurant was not busy. 4 people were working behind the bar while one person was up front. There were 3 other tables with customers. We waited 15 minutes for anyone to greet us and bring menus. A table that sat after us was greeted, menus, and orders taken. We finally got up and left. What awful customer service. I'd be more understanding if it were busy, but there were multiple associates that were stand around doing nothing. We were there shortly before 1pm on Sunday 7/29. read more
