I truly love the food and company here. They have gluten-free options for me and the wine is good as well. The only downside is that it is often very busy and hard to get a table on the weekends. However, it is worth the wait. We have also sat outside and enjoyed it out there on the covered porch. Popular spot and I'm glad we've checked it out! read more

This is an awesome place for beer, cider, and wine (I haven't tried the kombucha or cold brewed coffee). The drink offerings are digital and also listed online. Tastes are free. Customer service is really excellent. Ordering is clear and straight forward (order at the bar and grab a seat). The ONLY reason I didn't give five stars is because most of the food items are fried. Don't get me wrong, we just don't eat fried food as a loose rule. The salad, priced at $6, is generously portioned and we order one to split, often. The fries are sooooo delicious! Seasonal specials are really good too. Oh and their house made salsa is wonderful!! And there you go! read more

Ridgewalker Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Forest Grove, Oregon

See all

Atmosphere: As soon as you walk into those double doors of the old building you definitely get the vibe is cool. The tables along the wall are all super sleek and kind of rough-looking but they're glossy and beautiful. Tap: If beer drinker you're going to love this place. The tap that they have on hand are pretty good, constantly changing so you going to try a bunch of new things...who doesn't like that? Food: When they first opened they had this really cool deep fried Twinkie and I want to say that even had Oreos. I don't know what they did with that but they should bring that back for sure cuz that was bomb. But I will say I have not been impressed with the food as of lately. I used to go in a few times with some of my co-workers and they love the place they were all blown away by the atmosphere the food the waiters and how chill it was. But I've noticed that they've gone down I'm food. They used to have a really good brisket taco that was delicious. I went in a while ago with one of my friends I never been there we ordered I would say a basic meal. She enjoyed hers I did not enjoy mine. I felt like they had gotten some old dethawed frozen meat and just made a mountain of this meat on my plate if it wasn't very appetizing to look at or eat. Plus my my fries we're super thin and looked like they had been burnt. Needless to say I haven't been back I don't know if I ever will. I hate to put down a local place and I'm sure there are many people that liked it so definitely try it out for yourself and be your own judge. read more

I have to give them a 4 until I've been here a few times and had better service. Perhaps they weren't prepared for a group of 8 on a sleepy Saturday? Who knows? They had decent food and Kombucha, too, so that's high marks! (And why they didn't get a 3. ) Storm and Justin (Owners) are nice. I hope this place stays open. Cheers, mates! read more

The food is okay. We went with a friend and it was fun to hang out, but I would only go for a beer. I wouldn't order dinner.

Very good food! Loved the fried pickles most. Was very disappointed with the "fruit side" for kids meal as it was only one piece of fruit- but the food was delicious and the atmosphere is so fun. read more

Always great food, paired with a well curated tap list. Today I had a Greek Chicken Wrap from the specials board. Great flavor and texture, goes great with a hazy IPA. read more

Really enjoy the atmosphere of this place and their beer selection is amazing. Food is always excellent and everyone is friendly. Repeat customer! read more

We visited Ridgewalkers on a Groupon. To accompany our taster flights, we also had some french fries and a deep fried twinkie. I was apprehensive about getting food since most of the pictures of fried foods look burnt. Ours was a golden brown, not burnt so that was a relief but I also won't be clamoring to come back and try any of their other food options based on these two items. As for the drinks - they have a wide range to pick for the flight that included beer, cider, and kombucha. They also have wine but that was excluded from the tasting flight. Unfortunately I did not like any of the 8 tastings we picked (a mix of their own brews and others from the PNW). We ended up taking home a growler (came with the Groupon) of Bull Run Cider which is also based in Forest Grove. I have tried Bull Run before and knew I liked it so at least that was a positive. The interior has a great lodge feel which was perfect with the recent snowy weather. I don't know that I will be back unless I see something on tap that I really want to try. 2 stars. read more

I had quite possibly the worst root beer float I've ever had, I didn't think that was possible. It had a measly half scoop of ice cream which had already pretty much melted by the time it got to me, so I wouldn't exactly have called it a root beer float. The mug it was in was hearty though and felt good to hold. I just wish the float had matched the mug. :-( read more

Good experience. The food and the beer were the highlight of the evening. It was a bit crowded and because we sat outside the party next to us were extremely loud shouting their conversation across table. read more

These guys are amazing and so kind to our community. They are active and helpful to the other local business around and they make some damn fine beer. I highly recommend them. read more

Ridgewalker has evolved from a place of quality food and service to a subpar restaurant in town. I have consistently ordered their BLAT sandwich. It used to be stacked full of crispy bacon, but the last few times I have gotten it it has had 2 pieces of undercooked bacon. I don't mind paying $10 for a sandwich if it is quality- but when it isn't it is a hard sandwich to swallow. I thought it might have been a bad day the first time it happened so I continued to order it. Unfortunately I have the same result every time since. Their service has also gone done hill. Bummed as it was our go to place for our company lunches. read more

Wouldn't recommend for brunch. They weren't prepared whatsoever, no creamer, hot sauce was taken from another table then given back to them and food was cold. read more

I would not go here again. The service is underwhelming, and they're always understaffed. While they're definitely family friendly, the food (especially the coleslaw) is borderline inedible, and overpriced. The beer selection is large, but with little variety. read more

Great location and reasonable prices, though the beer could definitely use some work. I got a flight from a Groupon deal, and sampled four of their house beers. My favorite was the Double IPA which was different than most I've tried; it was nice and malty, though not as hoppy as I thought it would be. The rest of the beers, meh. The best way I can describe it is flavorless, like cold water with hints of malt and hops. I got a growler included in my deal and I ended up going with the Boneyard RPM IPA, which is one of my favorite beers of all time. Customer service was great and our server was very friendly, which definitely makes up for the lackluster beer. I didn't try the food, but it looks barbecue-centric. Lots of seating, though I noticed a lot of bar stools missing and people scrambling to find seating. I heard this place just opened up recently so I will give them another shot the next time I am in Forest Grove. It is a beautiful building and their employees are nice, but I think I'll go with something other than their house beers next time. read more

Excellent local brewery/brewpub with good beers, great beer selection, good food, excellent atmosphere and a full calendar of events. The interior of this brewpub is full of beautiful wood and the craftsmanship that went into it is evident. I'm very glad to have Ridgewalker Brewing in town! read more

Excited about trying this newish brewery! The beers were okay- the IPA was our favorite. There was possibly something off with the other three in the flight. The red was very, very cloudy and didn't taste like much. The Cascadian Dark did not have much in the way of hops and the Stout was very odd, had a floral, sweet taste to it. All three of these last beers had a "wet grocery bag" taste. My best guess is that with so many taps- 34!- they probably don't go through the beers fast enough and they were oxidized. Maybe they could cut back on some taps and go through the beers faster? The food was a mixed bag as well. My husband had the burger with blue cheese on it, ordered medium rare. It came out well done with absolutely no pink. The blue cheese was very pungent- maybe a more mellow gorgonzola would be better? The fries were the best part of the meal! I had the Beef Short Rib nachos- tons of meat (probably too much, really) and very little cheese. I loved the cabbage on the nachos and the cilantro crema was very good. The entire thing could have benefited from more salt and more cheese- and maybe less meat. Overall a mediocre experience. Would love to come back and try them again someday- see if anything has changed. read more

Ridgewalker Brewing - What we left behind. Notice the hazey Red Ale? - Breweries Near Me - Forest Grove, Oregon

This place was amazing. Their beer was really good, nothing changed my life but their imperial IPA was very malty and different, I liked that. Their amber ale is one of the best amber ales I have had in the PNW. They had a really cool arcade machine that I invested a dollar into while I finished my flight, so that alone is worth an extra star. And if you don't love their beer they had tons of guest taps including Boneyard RPM one my top 10 beers in the world. read more

Great atmosphere! Very similar to any other brewery you would find in the Portland area, including price. Signage throughout the place is very small. Even the brews on tap menu which was located behind the bar on a digital screen was very small. I ordered a beef taco salad, it was closer to a salad topped with beef brisket and tomatoes but nonetheless it was good and meat portion was large. Salad was topped with "awesome sauce" I asked the bartender what this was and was told similar to a thousand island, after tasting I would disagree. Overall, pretty good place for a small town. read more

Ok food but could be a little more thought out. Can't possibly fit the chips into the cup they serve salsa in, no sign of utensils. Kind of expensive and no real service so if I hadn't read previous reviews I would have been annoyed. Fun atmosphere... board games and loud music while you wait. Even seems good for families which is probably rare for a brew house. read more

Great beer selection, bartender was able to explain the differences between their types of beer. Friendly staff wings are good and nachos here are worth the hype!! read more

Went in for dinner last night as a first time customer. Pros: family friendly, outdoor seating, friendly staff, nice interior design, tasty beer. Cons: acoustics inside were horrible, it was way too loud to hold a conversation. Food was "meh" at 11.95 a plate. The menu would benefit from descriptions of menu items. What I ordered and what I received was very different than I thought it would be. Mac salad was bitter and oily & the brisket sandwich arrived on toast with a monster amount of some sort of pickled cabbage slaw, this was not described anywhere on the menu. At 11.95 for a basic green salad with some meat on top was WAY overpriced, $6 would be more appropriate . As a recent Portland transplant to FG, charging Portland prices for significantly less quality is a bummer. The meat was good but I would not come back for the food due to the price/quality. Hopefully then will improve on some things and we will be tempted to go back! read more

Pablo was awesome! We called when we were 100 feet away that we were coming with our dogs and in the next 90 seconds he had an outside table reserved and a water bowl out. Fantastic service! Fish tacos were fantastic and the cider was awesome. Highly recommend you come get some food and bring your dogs! read more

Very very good food maybe a little pricy but other than that I'd come here as a little reward for myself

This is my favorite place to eat and drink by far in Forst Grove. Great beer, great atmosphere and the staff is awesome! The food is wonderful! read more

super friendly with a good selection of tasty pub grub and a great selection of tap and bottle/can beers and ciders...

Great place & great people! Excellent customer service! Kat was my favorite at the bar! She made my son's birthday dinner very special! Yummy, fresh food; their Cobb salad is my favorite! I have visited 3 times this month! read more

This is a cute brewery with many seating options indoor and out door. The menu has great and delicious options and the beer selection is great. read more

My Wife and I stopped one evening recently, the dinning area was maybe half full. We were seated quickly, placed our order withing 10 minutes. 20 minutes later the waiter came by to tell us that our order was honestly in the queue and that it would just be a few more minutes, 20 minutes later (1hour overall time), no food, so my wife and I got up and walked out... starving! Went to McMenamins Grand Lodge and was served within 12 mins! Would love to support Ridgewalker, but the service is terrible! Mike Larkin Forest Grove,OR read more

This place is awesome! Please let the bartender choose samples of beer for you to choose from. You will get your perfect beer. We had the cheese curds, the sweet potato fries, the tater tots, a burger, and a BLAT, and everything was delicious! Fantastic! This place is amazing! The staff, the atmosphere, all are top notch. read more

Honestly one of the worst experiences I have had here. Bartenders were Not nice at all. We wete still in the process of putting our masks on to sit on at the long table right in front of the door and the bartender had Told us 5 times to put our masks on.... When it was time to pay my tab, she hardly looked at us, didn't ask us how things were, Felt like she wanted us to leave. We were there for maybe 10 minutes. Will not be coming back. read more

The only place I will probably ever go for wings and kombucha they have a very wide selection of beer and the staff is always very helpful and nice. I highly recommend checking them out if you haven't been in yet. read more

Good food, not the best for service as you nned to order food and drinks (and refills) from the bar.

Yay! Love this place. Their new menu is scrumptious and there is always a great variety of local brews. A true Forest Grove favorite meeting spot. Try the brussel sprouts! read more

I placed an order online and the wait time was 30 minutes. They were kind enough to call and tell me that it would an hour and not 30 minutes. I said that was fine but for some reason she kept telling me it would be an hour as if to discourage me from ordering and then said "it's really busy in here" at least 3 times. A paying customer is a paying customer. In a small town service like this won't keep you in business. The experience is the same every time but my son wanted this sub par food for his birthday. Never ordering from here again! read more

Waited for 5-10 minutes as the server (slender woman dark hair) sipped from her mug near the register. Restaurant was not busy. Eventually got up to get our own menus. Server finally took order, answering questions about cider options and food in as few words possible, not a smile to be found. Seemed miserable. After ordering, discovered the taco Tuesday menu but was told our order had already been placed. Drinks took forever. Appetizer came after meal. Had to eventually ask for check, and made to feel annoying for doing so. Food was mediocre. 100% bummer. read more

Great local spot! Family is even welcomed here. Wife kids and I played board games they had while waiting and then while eating! Lots of brews on tap if you are into beer. Happy they are close by! Keep up the good work! read more

We decided to give Ridgewalker another try and had a much better experience. The food was good and the brews were delicious. We especially enjoyed our growler of Longstride. Thanks, Jeff! We will be back many more times. read more

These people know how to have fun and treat their customers well. The food is always delicious and it's obvious they put a lot of care into the preparation. I love going there to watch Timbers games and they are very patient and accommodating of my fandom! It's a great place to go to meet people, bring the kids, and chill out. Keep it up, team! read more
