** Closing Business Alert** I feel like I need to bump up…read morethe que for this brewery experience as when we went there this past weekend we were told that the brewery was going to permanently close in a few days. I believe October 31st is that day when that is going to happen so I figured it was time to get a review in and anybody that may have an interest in going by reading my review and has the ability to go they should probably do it in the very near future. We had two different beers here and they were solid. We didn't feel like that this was the best brewery in Forest Grove but if you are doing a brewery tour in town it is indeed worth the stop. The location is cool as it's right downtown and what looks like to be in a historic building so it will be sad that it will become vacant. But we were told that it was landlord issues as the rent that was going to be charged should they continue to stay would have been unreasonable. Well, now onto the beer. The first beer we had was a Japanese Rice Lager known as the Wakizashi Lager. It was good but we have had more memorable ones in the recent past so it wasn't the best we have had by any means . But no complaints with it. It was just our preference with the flavor profile layout. Flavor highlights with it are floral, sweet, crisp and a light rice flavor. It was also a very light bodied beer. The other beer we had was the Jormungandr which was a red ale. This one was good too. Again not as memorable as it could be but nothing to specifically complain about. Flavor features with this are caramel, malty and sweet. The body of the beer is nice and smooth which was nice and pleasant. Sad to see another brewery close but there are a few others to visit in Forest Grove so it isn't deprived completely of craft breweries in town.

Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Bring the family or large group. 25+ taps of Ridgewalker and…read morelocal brewery beers and ciders available. Personal favorite is the Helvetia Son of Peach. Food order took 30 minutes but for a Saturday we didn't think that was too long. Pool table, foosball, ping pong, and other games on hand to play. Ordered the vegetarian burger first 3 bites were bun, a little pasty I think the patty as too fat, flatten it a bit and it would be fine. Delicious sweet potato fries. A local favorite!

Waltz Brewing was one of those breweries and it was a really good experience! We loved how the taproom was set up and like the garage chic type of atmosphere that was going on there. The brewery mostly had guest taps but there werena few beers of their own that they had. I got their Multitudes With Blueberries which was a Wild Ale. A type of ale I wish I'd come across more often. Flavor features with this beer are fruity, sweet, a little sour and of course the presence of a Blueberry flavor. The beer was nice and light bodied which as I have said before at this point in time really appreciate to have more often.

I'll start this review off by saying that I love Cathlamet. It's a quaint little historic town…read morewith a rich history and really nice people. I've been visiting here a dozen times a year for four decades. There are a few eateries here. Many seem to come and go although there are a couple that have survived the test of time. RM38 is a newcomer... used to be in a small building with VERY limited hours. I gather their main biz was brewing craft beer for a very small clientele of businesses and the "saloon" was mostly a side hustle to help pay the rent. So I see they moved into new digs down at the marina. I won't take off any stars for the following since this seems to be their new business model: Offering uber-expensive, skimpy portions of not especially tasty food targeted to yuppies who have more money than brains. Suffice to say that you won't see many Bikers hanging out here. The good: Their patio has a nice river view and a pleasant breeze. Sitting out there enjoying a cold one on a hot Summer day is very pleasant. And during the Fall too so long as it's not raining. People complain about the lack of parking which is not an issue when you show up on a motorcycle. But there are LOTS of places to park although you may have to walk a few yards... you poor darlings. Staff is less than amazing but they are always courteous towards me. I suppose I am no more their dream customer than they are my dream hangout. But Bikers tend to be very generous tippers so they might want to keep that in mind. There's one long-established watering hole in Cathlamet but it's a dark, indoor venue. I like it there and it's more of a dive bar with very good food. The thing about Cathlamet is that if you are just an occasional visitor you have many options of where to stop for a meal and/or drink and never get bored. There's also a few good places at the other end of the ferry ride in Westport, Oregon. Hard to say how long RM38 will stay in business. I'm actually surprised that they lasted in their original location for so long considering that they were only open for a few hours during the weekend. It would be great if they quit pretending to be an upscale eatery and instead focused on providing a good value, tasty, filling meal for the money. Again, no minus stars for that but until new management comes along and makes some changes it will just be a pint or two for me and i'm on my way. Of course as always YMMV.

WARNING‼‼‼ Now that…read moreI have your attention, let me tell you about this place. I almost thought I teleported to Texas for a second. This smokehouse in the Oregon coast is on to something. Pulled pork, brisket TENDER & JUICY. I can't even describe how I had flashbacks to my time in Texas. I am now in a food coma and on my way to take a 8 hour power nap. If you are ever at Cannon Beach, and do not feel like eating fish and chips, please come here and do your taste buds a favor.

It was my first time having pork rinds freshly made instead of out of a bag, and I'll need to find where I can get this more often!! The Cubano was solid. The bread was soft, the meat was tender, a little dry, and the pickles added a nice bright, acidic bite. The sauce was good too. Unfortunately, the fries were insanely salty. We couldn't eat them at all, which was disappointing since they're almost a $4 upcharge! The restaurant itself is pretty small, so I'd recommend coming when they open. Otherwise, I could see there being a wait. They only have one cook, so the food can take some time as well, but they have signs letting you know upfront, which I appreciated. There was only 1 waiter, but were friendly and attentive throughout.

As big fans of de Garde beer, we were so excited to finally visit in person while on vacation…read more We came in around 5:00pm on a Thursday, so it was very quiet. A few patrons came in and out for beers to-go, a few stayed to enjoy beers on-site like us. I quite liked the quiet evening so we could fully soak in the goodness of de Garde beer, the warm atmosphere, and have time to chat with the friendly bartender on shift. We had a few beers on the patio to enjoy the cool coastal air, then moved inside for our next round. We enjoyed sitting in both areas. While all of their beer is phenomenal to us, the stand outs for me were The Purple: Gin Barrel Cuvee and The Renrocha. Although we were flying in from out of State, we took 3 bottles home with us so we could continue savoring the well-crafted beers of de Garde! Can't wait to come back!

I have gotten the breakfast burrito when having breakfast and would characterize it as large, yet underwhelming in taste. None of the beers that i have tried are particularly memorable, but they are very drinkable. The service is courteous and they strive to keep the tables clean. The ordering here is done at the counter and I have found this to be a great way of taking orders in a casual establishment. This allows one to peruse the menu at a table at one's own speed, then walk up to the counter to ask any questions about the menu and then place the order. My experiences have been that the employee at the register has always been patient, informative and respectful. They bring your order to your table when it is ready. My experience is that they give you a conservative estimate of the time for preparing and the real time has been shorter. Note that I think they do a good job with turnaround times given how many customers are in the restaurant combined with their apparent significant take-out business. My dinner experiences have been very satisfying and that is what one would expect from a meat purveyor. However, they do not fumble the ball on the execution. Casual food, but tasty. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating: plenty of both. Part of the outside seating is heated and covered during much of the year. I have never been there when you could not choose a table. I think a great casual stop, and a unique one, when visiting the Tillamook area.
