    Vibe is cute and cozy inside. Rude manager!!! I ordered sliders and they were bad. They meat was hard and dry and the buns weren't even warm. (I was so frazzled and didn't get the picture but it looked terrible too like middle school lunch menu). So I went up to the manager, returned the food, and asked if I can order something else and she was very defensive. She took a bite and was telling me it tastes totally fine to her and had very rude demeanor. I ordered a small Hawaiian pizza. I went outside to take a call when the food came out so my friend asked for a box to go and she was very rude to my friend as well and tossed tin foil to her. My friend grabbed a paper plate to put the pizza on top of it before she wrapped it in tin foils she tossed her and she came to my friend and told her that she couldn't use the paper plate. She was so mean to everyone that some other guys working at the bar had to hand us the take out box. They had the take out box the entire time but she was being mean to our table. Im sure she was going through a rough time and was taking out on us but as a restaurant manager this behavior is unacceptable. The pizza was decent though but don't get their sliders and the manager is very rude.

    Great pizza Awesome drinks . The service is friendly professional it does get busy but that's reasonable in such perfect location. In the heart of government camp nestled on main strip beautiful views cozy up next to fire drink the night away hail to the Rat !!

    Solid spot to get food and drinks, the dudes who work here are very chill even when it's busy as hell like always, lots of people either eating before going up to the mountain or after they're done on the mountain so you get a big mix of people. Nothing fancy but gets the damn job done. Food is excellent and if they like your attitude they pour a little heavy. All hail the rat!

    Ordered two pizzas and fries Togo. The place was packed! The pizza was good but seemed expensive overall. $30 for a medium size but glad it was pretty big! The bartender was great and super helpful. I would eat here again!

We asked for extra sauce and WOW did they comply! They do not skimp on toppings like most places. You get a wonderful amount of toppings, cheese and their tomato sauce is excellent! And!!!

We were totally amazed and VERY happy customers! The waitress was so wonderful, helpful, knowledgeable, kind and patient with us (we had 2 young children with us). And!!!

    Zig Zag Inn - Baked chicken dinner was horribly overcooked. Huge chunks in mashed potatoes. Gravy was not even warm.

If you want to get something to eat otherwise you have to go several miles down the road. I get it, but at least make the food a little bit better... It is a nice place, it's down some steps, a little hole in the wall. . It is small. The regular slices of pizza were eight bucks, they wanted 12 bucks for a slice of their "special" pizza. I chose the barbecue chicken, pizza, chicken, Walla Walla, onions, garlic, and the base of the pizza is barbecue sauce instead of tomato sauce.. The crust was just OK. It was kind of chewy. It tasted a little bit flat. I could definitely smell the garlic and taste the garlic, and the onions were OK. I did like the barbecue sauce. It had a nice flavor to it. The chicken? Not much of it, and what there was was tiny little pieces. I could hardly taste it at all. Look, if you're gonna charge that much for a simple slice of pizza and call it a barbecue chicken pizza, at least put a fair amount of chicken on it. I was disappointed. I wouldn't eat here again.

Our waters were always full and never needed to ask for their attention. The pizza is good. However, the middle of the pizza was a little on the softer and dare I say soggy side. I still throughly enjoyed the flavor and taste. The slices are very large and one piece filled me up. We also had a couple of beers and a plain cheese pizza. The salads looked so fresh and crispy but we were just too full. Great spot to unwind and relax out of the cold. We will be back next time we are in the area. We then walked around the Timberline lodge and the kids played in the snow. We had a great time here!

    Great service, great drinks, and the best pizza I've had in decades!…read more The beers Backwoods makes are all delicious and smooth-drinking. The service staff was all exceptional. But the pizza! Off the charts!, FULL REVIEW of all Services: If anyone who enjoys hiking, river fishing, or just a general outdoor-focused vacation wants a good, simple getaway with their spouse/loved one, check out the Backwoods brand in Carson, Washington (just north-northeast of Bridge of the Gods/Cascades Locks). Backwoods Cabins offers a really great overnight stay option. The 8 cabins there are all basic "two-room" designs (bedroom and attached bathroom, and a living room / mini-kitchen room). The cabins sport king-sized beds, a gas fireplace and outdoor fire, a mini kitchen with refrigerator/freezer and microwave (no stove/range). I think 3 of the 8 cabins welcome dogs. The Backwoods brand also owns Backwoods Brewery, which is just across the road from the cabin property. They have great microbrew beers (from light lagers to GREAT stouts!). The brewery also has a smokehouse, with fantastic smoked brisket, pulled pork, and house-made sausage/brats. But even better, the Backwoods Brewery offers the BEST PIZZA I've had in decades. The pizza dough is a perfect balance of flavor and texture. It's not too thin and not too thick. The crust is chewy in the middle, with a great crusty edge and base. The red sauce (they also have a white sauce we didn't try) is thick and rich, with a few tomato chunks. It's got a slight spicy bite with a sweet finish. They also have some unique house pizzas. We tried the Whistle Punk - Red sauce, bacon, smoked brisket, peppadew peppers, sweet onions, fresh mozzarella rounds - and the Pepperoni Express - Red sauce, pepperoni, mushrooms, tomatoes, banana peppers, smoked mozzarella. Both were outstanding. I'd go so far as to say both Donna and I deemed these the best pizzas we've had in 35+ years (noting that our first date was at a pizza joint in Fife we both thought was the best-ever pizza). If you stay in the Backwoods Cabins, you get two coupons for free drinks at the brewery (beer/wine/cider/cocktails) as well as an assortment of snacks for your hiking adventures, and a full S'mores kit to use over the gas fire pit. And if you are in a dog-friendly cabin, you get complimentary treats, and water/food bowls for your canines.

    Gluten free review:…read more Came here after a hike because I believe in balance, climb a hill, eat a pizza. Thrilled they had gluten-free options. Tried the Tree Hugger 10" GF pizza and it was genuinely tasty. The crust? So good. The staff? Kind. The price? About $20, which felt a little "ouch," but the pizza did not, and that's what matters. The place was fun and great ambiance. Take a fun trip and go try this place out.
