So yes, we do recommend spending time here. ** I wish they had lounge chairs.

After stopping at McMenamins Kalama Harbor Lodge and hearing about this spot, we knew we had to…read morecheck it out. Unfortunately, it's closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so we planned to visit later in the afternoon on Wednesday. When we arrived, the parking area was empty. I walked up to the front door and stepped inside. I immediately noticed the fire crackling in the fireplace. I told the staff member I'd be right back after getting my wife. At the time, the only person inside was the McMenamins employee. The space itself is small and cozy, with two booths, about four tables, and seating for around five at the bar. There's also outdoor seating with a fireplace, though it wasn't lit during our visit. When my wife came in, she was absolutely delighted. She walked straight over and stood in front of the fire, soaking it in. We took seats at the bar near the fireplace and asked about their offerings. The bartender provided menus, which feature a small but appealing selection of appetizers, pizzas, subs, and desserts, along with a modest drink list. We'd already eaten, but I ordered a pint of their Hammerhead. As we sat by the fire, we chatted with the bartender/server, who shared a bit about the place and the nearby Kalama Harbor Lodge. A few other groups came in while we were there, but after I finished my beer, we decided to head out. Overall, we both thought this was a really charming little spot, warm, welcoming, and well worth checking out. Highly recommend!

We tried the burgers and they were delicious. We both had the gluten free buns, one was soft and fresh, the other was dense and crumbled away.

Very comfortable place for lunch on a very hot afternoon. The breeze off the river was amazing!…read moreOur server was very helpful and we were pleased with the variety of options from the menu. I had fish and chips which normally comes with tots, but I requested fries and they were very happy to exchange them. Three good size pieces of cod came with this and plenty of thin perfectly fried french fries. The tartar sauce was delicious. It also came with a small side of coleslaw, which was rather tasteless. My companion had the chicken bahn mi sandwich and thought it was delicious, even though she did remove most of the generous amount of jalapeño slices. They have a decent kids meal menu. Plus, crayons and a coloring sheet, which helped to pass the way of our three-year-old companion.

Beautiful atmosphere. For drinks, Ordered the butterfly's…read morerest and it was a must!!! Delicious. Had 5 total. Plenty beers on tap. We had a reservation for 2:15 on Valentine's day. Intentionally set earlier in the day understanding the significance of the day. (Been together over 20 years.) When we arrived my husband kindly requested a window table with view of the water. The woman taking the reservation info advised that she would try, but "so busy" etc. We were sat at a half circular booth that was facing water but set back from water. I just want to note there were 7 tables open at window seating. 3 of which were 2 tops. We did have 3, so essentially for us, 4 EMPTY tables could have accommodated our request. 2 remained empty the entirety of our meal. So I just can't understand why this request wouldn't be granted. Waitress we were assigned was amazing. On top of things, refills etc. We got the wing appetizer, cheese curds, and the wedge salad as appetizers. They were all good. The wings I would get with no sauce. The sauce on them was very ketchup reminiscent. For the entrees we both did the steak frites. Fries were amazing. The steak was sooooo tough. Medium rare didn't save them. Our child got the half pizza and demolished. For dessert we got the cookie with ice cream and the valentines special cheesecake. Both were delicious. Overall 3.5. Could use some help at front. If you don't realize you have that many free tables and could easily accommodate a paying customer the table they prefer, it just simply doesn't make sense. At the end, I did ask manager why we wouldn't be able to sit where we requested and there really was just no good reason. It was just a shrug like it was a busy day. Like I guess maybe saving for make believe guests?? LOL unreal. It's not often I would question things. But this was just absurd. Again, I need to say, our waitress was amazing. Food was fine. Just a very weird experience as far as seating. Like who are you saving those seats for?? Anywho. Enjoy!

Loved their tiny place when they first started, but watching how it's grown and is thriving speaks to the owner's hard work and vision. It's an extremely welcoming place (even for dogs). It feels like a lot of thought and care has been put into blending "small town favorites" with higher end cuisine. We have liked most everything we've had there. Service is wonderful, smiles all around and a genuine care about the customers experience can be felt. We have yet to attend a game night, although definitely looking forward to it. Good food, good beer (even gluten free options in a can available!) good times. Looking forward to the continued growth in the community.

This was one of the first places we stopped in and we actually went back several times to the point where the staff knew we were the Vegas people haha. At first we did their beer flights. And we also got the burger and fries, too, to eat. Their food is OUTSTANDING! And their beer is even better!!! I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious the food was. And honestly, this beer was incredible. Literally every beer I tried was so good. A few times we came in we sat at the bar and chatted with some of the employees who were soooo nice. They have games, too, so we played some trivia and uno and it was a lot of fun. We seriously had the best time here. The owner even chatted with us a bit and he was so nice, too. One night they even had some guys out front smoking some meats and we struck up a convo with them, too. Honestly, the people in this town are so friendly. Especially the people that work here. They're SO kind. Definitely would frequent this spot if I lived here. But again, we had sooo much fun here and I highly recommend checking out this place.

Great beer selections on tap so grab a beer and some grub. The only real downside is no NA options for beer.
