Great food. Wonderful service! Music was a little loud but played good music!! Fair price for the food we received!!

I got there just after the kitchen closed at 9:00 PM. Groups that were there looked like they were having fun. They should post when the kitchen closes. read more

Stopped by on our drive back to Portland from Eastern Oregon. Honestly such great comfort food! Not too salty and not over cooked. Service was prompt and some of the best service I've ever had. I'm not sure if the restaurant rebranded to Trillium Tavern but I also enjoyed the space. read more

Good Hang. Colin and Sarah rock. Good Service, great burgers. Late night good and slightly divey.

Super friendly service, the food was very affordable, good, and filling. We got the tofu banh mi sandwich, a large salad, and fries. I loved how they did their tofu. For it being a little dive bar, it definitely exceeded expectations. There were not a ton of affordable veg options in town, so we were really happy to find this place. The drinks were some of the best I've had- my husband loved the ginger paloma and I got the hibiscus lemon drop. Went back for lunch again the next day before we headed out of town! read more

My hubby and I had a date night here when the place we originally wanted to go to was closed for the evening. They are open late! The vibes are cozy inside, and the bartender/wait staff were super friendly and helpful. I noticed they had board games, and things for possibly kids to play with so it gave me the impression that this place is fairly family friendly. I got a club sandwich, side salad, and mac and cheese, and my husband had a burger and onion rings. All so delicious! I had a bite of hubby's burger and it was juicy and just right. Their ranch is also freaking good and that gets this place brownie points! read more

We recently visited Trillium Tavern, which looks to have taken over the former Trillium Café. The ownership change seems recent, and with it came a new name and a much more limited menu. We ordered a few things to try: my wife had the Cobb salad, which she enjoyed, though she mentioned the blue cheese was a bit salty. The salad came with crispy chicken. My daughter liked the classic hotdog, and I had the chicken strip basket. The strips were good, and the shoestring fries were cooked well. Service was great--friendly and attentive. There were some board and card games available, which added a casual, relaxed vibe. Overall, it was an okay experience. Not bad, just different. We'll be interested to see how things develop as the new ownership settles in. read more

The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and the service was good throughout our visit. Unfortunately, the food was less than average and didn't really stand out. Overall, a pleasant place to sit and relax, but the food could use improvement. read more

If you're looking for a place to stop with great drinks & eats with fantastic service- this is your place! The outdoor seating is great. We were able to have a nice little lunch with our doggo & they even allowed us to order a little doggy burger. Service really is a 10/10. read more

Perhaps this location was different under other ownership before they closed. However, after they have reopened this establishment it is not the same. If you want to be harassed by a bouncer who is dressed like any other civilian, come here! This place is an absolute embarrassment. Not only are the bouncers absolute jokes, but the bartenders support their foolery. Please respect yourself and choose any of the other establishments in this wonderful city. -Sincerely, a Hood River local read more

Super friendly service. Nice rustic inside ambience. The Beer cheese soup is good flavorful. Fish and chips were good with a tangy tartar sauce. My husband had the roast beef sandwich, which was good as well. Everything was hot and freshly made french fries look like they were hand cut and I really appreciated the side of mixed greens with my fish and chips with a nice tangy dressing. read more

Trillium Café in Hood River, Oregon is a little hole in the wall that has a cult-like following for their hamburgers. It is a local hangout that serves a small menu of bar food made up of appetizers, hamburgers, sandwiches, soups, salads, and a few specials. It's also one of the few restaurants in Hood River that is open late at night, which is how I came to visit it. I arrived in Hood River late at night, and was looking for a bite to eat before I went to my hotel. I had walked by Trillium Café many times over the years, but never visited because the menu looked like a lot of other restaurant menus, and I'm always on the lookout for something new. Even though I arrived shortly before the kitchen closed, I was greeted warmly and provided excellent service. My go-to when ordering a burger, is a classic Cheeseburger. I ordered The Standard - 1/2 pounder with lettuce, tomato, pickles, served on grilled bun, and added a slice of cheese. All burgers are made with Cascade Natural 100% Angus Beef. Burgers are served with your choice of hand cut fries, tater tots, or garden salad. I got the hand cut fries. Wowza! Trillium Café makes an EXCELLENT Cheeseburger with Fries! First, I love that they know the importance of grilling/toasting the bun. The hamburger meat was fresh, perfectly cooked and seasoned. The Tillamook cheddar cheese was nicely melted on top of my burger. The lettuce, tomato, and pickles were served off to the side so I could dress my burger as I liked. The fresh cut fries were excellent! It was one of the best cheeseburgers I've ever had in or anywhere near Hood River. I've heard excellent things about their Fish & Chips, which is one of their three specialties, along with Meatloaf and Mac & Cheese. If you're looking for a casual dining option, with a small but excellent menu, check out Trillium Café the next time you're in Hood River. Highly Recommended!!! read more

This establishment has a bouncer that would rather have a drink with clients than actually bounce the door. He shoved a girl out of the door and said "you're not special" and that threw me off. I was disgusted by his behavior and thought the establishment was a joke. read more

seems to be a place for locals which is lovely if you want to have that perspective.. but the bartender decided that i was unwelcome, cutting off my songs on the jukebox indicating i should leave, i will certainly not return. be welcoming even if you're in a tourist town read more

We stopped just for a snack, but it turned into us having lunch. It's been fun letting bartenders make our drinks based on what we like when we know there is a full bar. The Mac and Cheese was listed as a Specialty on the menu, so I was ready to be impressed. Let me tell you. OMG. This was freaking amazing. It wasn't full of extras, just the best ingredients. As much as I wanted to just sit and shovel it in my mouth, I made myself eat it very slow so I could enjoy and remember it forever. My lunch companion's meals were described as good and tasty. The fresh cut fries were really, really good. Establishment was clean, the service was friendly and prompt. read more

Watch out for the mixed drinks. We ordered 2 g&T's but they were outta gin so we got Something else which came with floaters so we ordered something else again and that came with a fly. The food is good tho. read more

A quirky local spot for drinks and tasty bar food. It has a full bar and an nice selection of goodies to eat if you're hungry. We stopped in for lunch. The ingredients were fresh, plentiful and toasty. We shared a delicious turkey meister sandwich and tater tots. Our server was friendly and attentive to our soft drinks stayed full! The locals at the bar added to the atmosphere. They have a cool mural that reminds me of Where the Wild Things Are...for a quick afternoon lunch we thought it was great! read more

Pretty good food. Service was okay but there's definitely room for improvement. The cook seemed more attentive to us than the bartender/waiter...until he saw us counting our tip out then he became chatty. The painted wall by the booths is quite dirty and the cracks in our table were filthy, but the drinks looked good. read more

Man I always loves this place. A little different from the normal hood river scene. Priced about perfect and a decent but small menu. We frequently stopped here. Always has fresh cut fries. Today was quite a bad experience. Never offered or asked if we wanted more than water. Which was just tap, zero ice seen.. Took almost 1 hour for a burger and garden salad. Salad came after about 30 minutes with wilted lettuce and bottled ranch at 9$ for a small. Didnt get touched. After almost 50 minutes got a burger that was a clearly frozen patty, maybe about 1/3 lb. Came with lettuce onion tom, and 2 pickle chips was cooked slightly more than done. Not horrible but edible. Didnt offer salt or pepper. There's only about 6 tables and only 3 were full. More worried about telling a customer about a catering option at a separate location, for several $$$ more than our plates. Waiter and cook seemed to be arguing about plating and sides the whole time. Makes me sad cause I love this place and tried to go all the time in hood river. Hard to find a place that isn't "hood riverish" in the area. read more

Early lunch for us and an empty place. Collin provided wonderful service with great conversation about our plans for the day. The food was delicious! It was just what we needed. The BLT was loaded with bacon and home cut fries were amazing. The chicken charlie with Taylor tots was perfect. We will be back. read more

Very nice place. We headed here late one night because it was one of the few places that were open late at night. They had a great selection of different types of beers and we managed to pick out a few to take home with us. Great staff and attentive service, despite the late hour. read more

I've been having cocktails at the Trillium for years. Last night was really underwhelming. First, the pours were really short. I had 4 cocktails and could have passed any states' sobriety test easily. That was not cool at 7.95/drink. Secondly, bugs (mainly fruit flies) were cruising around everywhere which was gross. My friend and I had to constantly wave our hands to keep the bugs away from our table, faces, and drinks the whole time we were there. Combine bugs and small pours and I will opt for bars that have a better value proposition and knows how to operate a clean bar/restaurant. read more

Killer fries. Hamburgers large and we'll cooked. Friendly staff. The restrooms could use an overhaul. The kitchen is visible and seemed a mess, but the food was good, so who ami I to judge? I can't typically see into the kitchen s of the places I eat. Maybe they all look that way. read more

I pulled into Hood River thinking that finding a place to eat would be easy, not the case. I told Jesus to take the wheel and he parked is right outside of this dive bar. The food was top notch and the service was excellent. I had the Greek salad and a sandwich, both outstanding. read more

Best chicken strips and fries in town! My kids and I love coming in when we are visiting.

Truly a hood river staple. Decent food, good bartender. Nice divey atmosphere. Shame there's not too many like this in town any more

One of the only things we could find open for dinner on a Tuesday-glad we found them! Great burger, awesome fries, and delightful beer. Will return next time passing through.... Server was excellent, too. read more

Great food. Great people. Good prices. The seasoned fries, burgers, and cold cheap beer are unbeatable.

Great food! Especially their Wedge Salad. They make their own garlic blue cheese dressing and freshly fried crispy bacon. I usually order it with a chicken breast which is cooked perfectly, tender and moist. My hubby loves their beer selection with a great burger and fries. The interior is nothing fancy but their food makes up for it. When we are in a Hood River we always stop by. Definitely would recommend! read more

What a gem! Highly recommend! Doesn't look like much from the outside but it is nice and clean. The food is amazing. Check out the menu! Delish and not what you'd expect. Better! read more

Because sometimes you need to eat a fantastic cheeseburger with the wild rumpus.... I had the bacon and blue burger. The burger patty was hand pressed and at least 6 ounces. It was both juicy and flavorful. The bacon was crispy thick cut bacon. But the best part was a bunch of blue cheese on top. We tried both the fries and tots. Both were well seasoned and delightfully crispy. The staff were fast, friendly, and helpful. No complaints! This is a great place to go for a delicious casual lunch. read more

Drove up from portland to try them. Business was closed with no sign as to why and nothing on Yelp with any closure notice.

I was pretty hungry when I landed in Hood River. After checking out my esteemed fellow Yelpers reviews, I decided to try The Trillum café. I had no trouble finding a seat and was quickly greeted when I walked in the door. For lunch I had fish & chips. It was my first experience having tuna deep-fried. Of course it was good. The tuna was thick and meaty - almost steak like in texture. The flavor was great- pronounced but not too fishy. The restaurant filled quickly and seemed to be a mix of locals and tourists. No concerns at all at this charming little café. read more

Good pours, great music for a Weds. eve. Whole Lotta Love, Frankenstein?? Tried the Turkey Meister over Ham & Havarti, by recommendation as "seven times better" from our server. How could I not? Worked out well, was juicy and tasty on sourdough (although I was still pining for the marble rye.) Appreciated that our server sussed out my likes and aversions, offering a tasting of a chocolate stout. Just the right call, thanks! Have stopped a number of times before, and will be back again. Let the wild rumpus begin! read more

Trillium Cafe - One of the reasons we always come back. - American Near Me - Hood River, Oregon

Want to put it out there right from the get-go, in their defense, this review is based solely on the atmosphere of Trillium as I can`t speak for their menu (Read it, just didn`t partake). Girlfriend, I, and her mother planned a day in Hood River on Saturday and arrived hungry. We walk for a bit and keep looking for places to eat as we go along. We come across Trillium and look at their menu in the window. Trillium`s a severe greasy spoon joint which turns my stomach but my girlfriend and her mother don`t seem to mind. There are two bugs walking across the menu from inside which sets the mood for our experience. We go in and there are no tables available but a girl lets us know she`ll clear a spot once people leave. Two couples finish, leave, and leave behind a mess which is expected; what wasn`t expected was the girl not doing anything while we waited for her to clean the table; lapsed time was close to ten minutes. In her defense she let us know it was just her as they were short staffed and she came in on her day off. My heart goes out to her but she saw us a number of times and concentrated on other things that didn`t require her immediate attention (Two glasses on bar, talking to the cook for a bit of chit-chat; no, it wasn`t about an order, pausing to look out window, adjusting herself, walking back and forth from the front to the back for some reason but with nothing in return only to repeat examples three and four, etc.). Again, I wasn`t in her shoes so I don`t know what was going on, I can only speak as a would-have-been potential customer and what I experienced when I came in. After almost dipping our hands and elbows in said left behind gunk we decided enough was enough and left for other establishments other than Trillium. If you like greasy spoon places that serve tatter tots with almost every order and the rest of the menu comes off like middle school cafeteria food, then I`m sure you`ll enjoy Trillium; but if what I said doesn`t sound like your cup of tea then I`d pass and look for something more your sanitary/Appetizing//professional. read more

Great food, even better service! We had the Buffalo wings and scooby snacks to start and those were both super tasty. Then we got the MOSS burger, Trillium burger, chicken strips, garden burger, and spinach salad...everyone raves about their food the entire lunch. Both servers were super friendly and attentive even though we were a party of 7!! Definitely will be back! read more

After visiting some waterfalls we decided to continue down the highway to explore. Somehow we ended up in Hood River. So random, but it was fun exploring this little town. We decided to eat at Trillium Cafe, the outside artwork of the sign really stood out, and lured us in! Glad we tried it though! The place was very original on the inside and had a nice vibe to it. The service was good and friendly. And the fish and chips I had with homemade tartar sauce was very delicious. The fish was crisp and tender, loved it. I wish I had enough appetite to try the tator-tots. Because those looked yummo! I can see this place being a fun night time spot because there is a bar and what looks like karaoke. If you are in town...give it a try. I enjoyed my meal! read more
