    a chicken sandwich and french fries
    Russ M.

    Great food , great drinks ! Bartenders are great! Place is clean , bathrooms are very clean .

    Grilled chicken sandwich with pepper jack cheese. Normally it's the fried patty, but they ran out. It was still very good!

    Great food, wonderful staff, and friendly bar tenders. Makes me feel like I'm welcomed in this small town bar.

    Blta and French dip!!

    I highly recommend the French dip or a burger we have plenty of options, from the Siracha burger to the mushroom Swiss.

    5 stars decor, vibe and music 4 stars for steam distillery…read moretasty drinks 3 stars for super slow service and 3 stars food from That One Place. Have been to Steam Distillery now on multiple occasions since they opened and continue to hope that service time will improve. The Lemongrass Collins is my absolute favorite cocktail on their menu, its just unfortunate that the service is extremely slow. There is typically only 1 or 2 employees handling the entire space and since the drinks are all crafted, between waiting to get your order taken and then waiting for the drinks to arrive, you're looking at 15 to 20 minutes. For the first time of these visits, we made reservations for the now reservation only Sunday menu. Reservation was at 4 and you had to place your order at the time of making your reservation days ahead. We didnt get our meals until 445. While the menu and presentation were amazing, the taste was not there. Lobster was very overcooked and lacked flavor in the seasoning, prime rib cut was impressive at 16oz but was cooked perfect and thankfully was served with some type of horseradish cream. The potatoes were stated as being a mashed potatoe type but we're not a mash in my opinion at all. It was a half super chunky scoop with the sour cream and butter kind of hidden in the middle.

The place is lively and fun, but not rowdy (at least not when we were there). It has a nice relaxed and casual vibe. They have several pool tables, pinball, electronic darts, and slots. The food is the usual bar food - burgers, fish & chips, corn dogs, etc and it was pretty good.

Now the bar.. it reminds me of the bars I grew up in back in Buffalo, it's just a small town watering hole and it might not be much to look at on the outside.. but it's on the inside where the magic happens. There's Oregon lottery machines, pool tables, dart boards and shuffleboard. The drinks are cheap and cold, the hospitality is heart warming and the food is delicious. Sean, the owner, greeted us and showed us where we could park. We had a couple of ice cold beers and a couple of great sandwiches, patty melt (pictured) and s grilled cheese. Thank you Sean for your hospitality and we hope to see you again.

The bar was open but only cash. we came with my cousin who was 15 so we left and said next time. Next time came and we go to try and feel the experience. we came after being in the river all day and wanted to unwind. Funny because there are game everywhere so we were going to keep playing. When we got there we had just missed bingo. What a bummer since it looked and sounded so fun. Food: quesabirras western burger Basket of fries basket of onion rings fish and chips fish sandwich crispy fish tacos it was so good and so much flavor. so glad we came back to try the food. drinks: beers soda water for it being a pub it doesn't feel like a bar or anything like that, we came for a family meal and had fun playing all the games and enjoyed all the food.

    The restaurant is cute and certainly family friendly however the menu prices are ridiculous. Sure…read morethe generic frozen burgers a of the larger size but 16.00 to start then 2.00 more for each additional thing is insane. The menu lists bbq sauce for the western bacon cheeseburger yet it was so dry due to them putting the absolute least amount on as possible. This happened with the Rogue burger as well. Lists mayo on the menu yet nothing was on it. The ranch dressing is clearly watered down to the point that I might as well have come from the faucet... Oh and did I mention the hair we found in one of our burgers. Now don't get me wrong, I understand that restaurant work can be fast and chaotic however we ordered at 4:30 in the afternoon on a Tuesday. We are the only people in the restaurant portion and 3 patrons sitting in the bar. We were snubbed and upcharged when we asked for lettuce for the incredibly dry burgers. With the marginal service provided and multiple up-charges to the already overpriced dry burgers and 4.00/person to do putt putt, I would not recommend. I mean unless you want a side of human hair with your meal and entertainment.

We showed up at 5 and were greeted by the same fabulous woman as last time. You just know that someone that kind and welcoming would not own a place she wasn't rightfully proud of. She sets the tone and all the employees carry it through the entire meal. We chose to try the patio tonight and it was cozy yet open, darker with a couple of fire lights around the room. Intimate. Some of the tables are separated by live plants in planter boxes. We loved it. We started with the beets (with shaved fennel pieces and a citrus vinaigrette with a tahini yogurt sauce on the bottom) and burrata (with grilled pieces of bread and sugar snap peas and capers) appetizers - both were delicious. Randy wanted to try another of their off menu drinks. We can't remember what this drink is called but it's not on the menu and has some Mai tai mix and orange bitters ... like a mock Mai tai spritzer. Delicious - Randy had two! I got the mushroom bolognese - so good. It's home made (!) bucatini pasta with a mushroom (cremini, oyster and shiitake) and san Marzano tomato sauce with burrata on top. I love mushrooms but Randy does not and he loved this dish. The mushrooms taste meaty. Randy ordered the Carbonara again and it was also delicious. We also got an order of garlic bread this time and wow. We each have half of our dinners left, lucky us. We shared the creme brûlée which came with a lavender short bread cookie. Perfect. Everything was perfect. The place was packed and all employees were calm and efficient and friendly. Can't wait to go back!
