    Pretzel
    Haley S.

    Came here for good beer and live music and got both! The atmosphere here is super cool, family friendly, and definitely captures that small town vibe. My friends and I got a few rice bowls, tacos, cheesy pretzel and of course a few beers and ciders.

    The location and decor of this place is great. It definitely takes inspiration from the very mountain community it's a part of. The people working here are very nice and our food came out in a decent amount of time. My only complaint was the food itself. Maybe just come here for the beer/cider. We all found that our food lacked flavor and was very bland. I ordered the veggie rice bowl and it was mostly plain white rice. Not many veggies or chickpeas. Not many options on the menu overall if you can't eat dairy or are vegan.

    We very much enjoyed Packwood Brewing! Chill vibe, lots of yummy drinks both beer, spirits, and nonalcoholic. We loved the tacos! Steak, chicken, and carnitas were all delicious.

    Stopped in after a weekend of camping and what a way to end the weekend! Excellent vibes, very dog friendly, lots of shaded tables, it was a great time! Everyone we met in Packwood was just delightful. We didn't get any food, but everyone around us seemed pleased with what they ordered! Beer was great and cold!

    What a great spot!! We came here for drinks and beers after hiking in Rainier. Awesome tap list with a lot of variety (we really like the doppelbock and the porter), the nachos were delicious, and the vibe of the whole place was cozy and friendly. Would definitely come here again if I found myself in Packwood again.

    Beer was great, atmosphere was fun. Great way to spend the evening after enjoying the views and hiking. Unfortunately the kitchen was closed when we were there but still a great time.

    This place has the vibe and location down pat, so there's not much to discuss.. But I will. Because the tacos were embarrassing. $6 a toco.. Two 4" tortillas each. Maybe 1 oz of meat each, pickled onion, (ooh, fancy! ) and a drizzle of sour cream (see pic). At this rate, I'll need 6 tacos and $36 to feel satiated.

    Prickly pear cider was really good. Food was ok, tacos were pretty small and not much flavor to them for the price. Ambiance is good though, they have lots of indoor and outdoor seating.

    I had a great time staying here in Packwood. I didn't know anything about this place before coming here. So my way of getting to know a new town is to find the local brewery. Packwood Brewing not only makes a great beer, they have good food, live music and a nice outdoor patio area. I was staying at a hotel within walking distance and came over here to grab a bite one evening. The crowd outside was chill and there was a live band playing some music. I ordered a Mountain Goat Coffee Porter and some food while listening to some tunes. Packwood Brewing Co. has some great options on their food menu. The tacos sounded really good, so I ordered some. I ended up ordering different protein choices for each of my tacos. Most of the food here is rice bowls and Mexican food. Packwood Brewing has both an indoor and outdoor bar for ordering beers. There are a number of picnic tables outside to sit on which brings a community feel to this place. If you like ice cream, Packwood Brewing has an Airstream that sells ice cream in the beer garden. I ordered a Salted Caramel Swirl to cap off my night here.

    Great stop is you're exploring the Rainier area. I just don't know why they aren't open for lunch more days than weekends! The inside is really cool, service is quick and food is excellent. There is also an ice cream trailer on the patio that was a good ending to an excellent lunch.

    Steak bowl and coke

    I ordered a steak bowl. Food was decent but seems a little overpriced for the portions I received. Small bowl and not very much steak. I also had to order my food at bar. Pick up my food when it was ready. And throw my bowl away and put glass in a tub. Not sure what I tipped for. The atmosphere was nice. Cute rustic building. There was a woman playing a guitar and singing. Place was busy seemed clean.

    Their food is mostly Mexican food. You are better off going to the Mexican restaurant next door, Nachos Restaurant. Avoid. Not worth it.

    I nearly skipped this place thinking "I'm not much of a taco fan." However, my husband loves tacos…read moreand wanted to try it, fortunately for me. We ended up coming back the next day without hesitation for 2 days of tacos in a row and I'd return in a heartbeat if ever back in Hood River. These tacos are addictive! With their mix-and-match fusion menu, your taco of choice can really taste any way you like. The Hawaiian taco with grilled shrimp was my favorite, but I also enjoyed their Thai taco with chicken. I wish I could have tried all of them as everything featured good, fresh ingredients. Don't skip the drinks here either. I usually avoid cocktails but they offered to make their frozen margarita spicy for me and I couldn't resist -- fantastic! The service was over-the-top amazing. This is a casual restaurant where you order at the counter, seat yourself with a number, and wait for your food to be delivered. Service at such establishments is usually pretty perfunctory, but not at Love & Hominy. The servers are all super friendly and seem genuinely enthusiastic to be working in their restaurant. That in itself says a lot. As mentioned, this place is casual but still fun and eclectic. While eating your tacos in-house, check out the wall on the entrance side. It's pretty entertaining to look at.

    The wait and lack indoor seating was awful. Sitting outside roasting In Direct sun…read more.. I appreciate that they had vegan options and I appreciate their creative fusion cuisine. The safe vegan option that killed me my husband were the Vietnamese. I got the Vietnamese taco and Vietnamese Bahn Mí bowl - I enjoyed all of it. Fun delicious, however, at $6/taco?! Not worth it. Severely overpriced.

    We were parked at the truck stop across the street and decided to give this place a try. It's a…read moresmall, cafe-type Mexican restaurant. You order at the counter, then they will call your name when the food is ready. It appears that, except for the beans and rice, everything is cooked to order. Seating is limited to a handful of booths. In addition, if the weather's good, there are several tables outside. We ordered the #9 shrimp combo and the #16 Carne Asada Plate. It took about ten minutes for our food. It came in Styrofoam containers with foil-wrapped tortillas. Everything was hot and fresh. The food was very good. The shrimp was cooked perfectly. The skirt steak was tender. The beans were a bit thin but delicious. The portion sizes appeared a bit small for the price. More rice and beans would have been nice. Overall, we enjoyed the food and would eat there again when in the area.

It's a gas station diner so you'll expect nothing but poor quality but, I was surprised when I decided to leave instead of buying another one. The portion is fair and the price is what caught me off guard. A breakfast burrito has rarely cost more then eight dollars in my recent purchases but, today I was inspired to pay for quality. The service is still just a local gas station so no velvet rope's here.
