Your bartender ripped me off she would take my money but never give me my change back for the drinks I ordered on 9/19/15. Shady employees stealing money ,remember your given tips don't take them . And yes I waited for my change and she ignore me after so I left. read more

This Café/Bar/Restaurant in Hood River was a great pit-stop for me while I waited for the freeway to thaw it's sheets of ice. Since I didn't die, I decided to stop here for some pub n' grub. The menu is burgers, sandwiches, soups and salad. They had plenty of options, however, I had to get a nice hot Reuben with an IPA on this cold wintry day. The sandwich was great and came with a pile of tasty tots. This café has a full bar as well as 4 beers on tap. There is bar seating and booth seating throughout. Groups of 1 - 6 could be comfortable here, but I'm sure they could accommodate more. The service was fast and friendly. The price point fit the portion sizes and quality. I could see myself coming back here next time I pass through HR. read more

Fun cool bar and café. Lots of board games on the shelf. Lively music. Service is friendly and quick. Interesting hand painted walls are a colorful and entertaining addition. Menu is traditional American with a twist of unusual presentation. I had a Greek salad while my partner had French Dip. read more

Decent lunch, had a wrap and the rest had FF's (french fries). Decent eats is the best way to describe this bar/food place.... I've never been there at night though. read more

The vibe started out ok, but one of the bartenders decided he'd had enough. It's unfortunate that he wasn't a fan of St. Patty's day but midnight rolled around and he was over. Called last call early and was a bit passive aggressive to the fairly low key crowd that was left. Then threatened to pull drinks within 20 minutes after serving last call... which was before the bar was supposed to close. read more

I don't know how this place is getting good reviews. I and three others came in for a bite to eat and we had an hour to kill before a movie started that we already had bought tickets for. We walk inside and there's two people at the bar and two people in a booth. We figured that's awesome it's a slow night because then we'll get served and be on our way lickety-split.... boy were we wrong!!! The waitress waved us to a booth and brought us water and didn't greet us at all just walked away. We sat there for about ten minutes waiting for some menus which she brought and we ordered a small side bowl of soup, a burger, and macaroni and cheese. The waitress was very rude when a person at our table got an emergency call from their boss and had to take it. (I still have no idea why she got upset that he took that call, it wasn't affecting her at all.) Now we were on edge by her attitude but kept smiling faces. We waited for our small and simple order for I-kid-you-not 40 minutes. In those 40 minutes we walked around trying to find the waitress and get her attention when she was behind the bar talking to the other people there but she ignored us or we couldn't find her. For 40 minutes. So we walked out the door because we were not going to be late to a movie we paid more for than we would spend on the meal. A week later two people of our party are walking downtown and the waitress saw them and started yelling across a parking lot about how it's rude to walk out without paying for your food (that we never received or saw mind you) and she approached them and kept yelling that they are banned from there and that she had to pay for that food and how she never wants to see their faces again. Never in my life would I ever say anything good about that place. I never even got to touch their food! read more

This place did not disappoint! We ordered a burger and tots to share and it was amazing! The burger was so juicy and perfectly cooked! The tots had salt and pepper on them and were super crunchy! Complimented well with ranch! The service was great and we received our order really fast! Could also see the kitchen from our table and saw him making our burger and everything fresh!! great experience! read more

I went here with my boyfriend on a drive up the Columbia Gorge. The fish and chips were delicious-- I've never had tuna in fish and chips before and I loved it! The price was right for the quality and amount of food served as well. There was plenty of malt vinegar and my fish certainly wasn't burned so I think one reviewer went on an off day-- I feel bad for you, because when I was there, it was spot-on! My boyfriend appreciated that any of the burgers could be substituted for garden burgers as well and he liked his Western garden burger (barbecue sauce, onions, cheddar). Side salad was basic, but fresh. I will be dreaming of tuna fish and chips until I can return for more! read more

Awesome food. Got the Wrangler Burger, Clam Chowder and the Greek Salad. The chowder was divine. One of the best we had. Burger was scrumptious and juicy. Good flavor and the bun was crispy. Salad was well coated and full of good ingredients. GREAT service read more

I've been here a couple times over the years, but my last experience was especially terrible. We entered on a Sunday afternoon in January, so it wasn't busy at all. The waitress didn't greet us when we walked in, nor did she offer us menus. After sitting for a while, she brought us waters, but never actually said anything to us. We eventually left, because we weren't being served....she chatted with the table next to us, and never looked at us or said anything to us, ever. As a local, I was very disappointed in the service. In the past, the food has always been decent, but I will definitely not be returning to this restaurant after how we were treated. There are too many great places to eat in Hood River to settle on being made uncomfortable by a staff member. No good! read more

Hey, local here, detailed review: So Im not sure I like this place anymore. Ok, so whoever said the burgers are big and juicy... if you mean they are juicy because they use good cheese (which melts all over your burger), then fine. They're juicy. And portion sizes are good. However, as is so so typical of burger joints, they don't freaking season the meat enough. Yeah, I guess I'm triggered, because I've also had incredibly under seasoned expensive steak at Stonehenge (a restaurant here), and dry dry dry underseasoned pulled pork, slathered with sauce of course, at Apple Valley (another restaurant here). I think if you're going to go here, make absolutely sure that you specify a medium burger, and maybe ask for a little extra seasoning. It just... tasted flavorless. And seasoning meat with salt after its cooked just does not really work as well in my opinion. You really need to get the salt INSIDE the burger. Or steak. Or whatever meat​ you cook. If you really take your burger, strip it of all the mushrooms, blue cheese and pickles and just TASTE the burger, you wont taste beef really. Honestly though, people will always like this place. It's a burger place in America. Hell, people still eat at Charburger and pay those prices for basically cafeteria food. That's just how it is. And I understand different cooks come and go in the kitchen, so maybe this was an off burger. My husband had the paddy melt, same issue. Idk guys. Just gotta be honest. Also, if the owners are reading this, maybe carry the extra stout Guinness, the real, thick stuff that comes in a bottle and isn't injected with nitrogen. Sigh. Idk, I'm not feeling the soul here guys, and I aint tasting the beef. But I'm sure people will continue to love your stuff. I think I've eaten here and gotten a good burger when there was a guy with a ponytail working in the kitchen. Idk if I'm remembering right. Honestly, at this point in life, I'm going to start calling up restaurants and asking if "so and so" chef is in tonight. Otherwise, I ain't goin. read more

Friendly service, comfortable atmosphere, & good food. While on a trip to the area to find a place to live we stopped here for lunch to talk through and make a decision. The food and ambience was perfect for talking. I had the Caprese sandwich on ciabatta. I highly recommend it. read more

Says "Kid Friendly" on the door and it certainly is. A great place to relax and have a nice meal while not stressing over the youngsters driving you or the other diners crazy. Very friendly and efficient service with an incredibly affordable and tasty menu. Bar has good offerings on tap and in the bottle and the while this is definitely a locals place they don't make the tourists feel like an imposition. read more

The best chill, for real, pub in town. Good food and beer, no attitude. Go on Tuesday night for karaoke. Excellent bar service, serval local drafts on tap. read more

Pleasantly surprised. We came in on a Saturday night around 9pm. The place looked more like a bar than a cafe. We still ventured in since we had read good reviews about their food. Yup. All was correct. Sandwiches were so good. I had the turkey miester and my partner had the meatloaf sandwich. Both were delicious. My side salad was also really good. Love their balsamic vinegrate. So tasty. My parter had a side of tater totes which were also very good. Beer selection was also good. I'll definitely be coming back next time I'm in the area. read more

Seriously.. I haven't been able to stop thinking about the crisp delicious Cajun tots since I had them 4 days ago... Can.. Not.. Stop. read more

Trillium Cafe - Best tots EVER. Capresse I wish the tomatoes were a bit more ripe not the chefs fault tho. Very satisfied customer! - American Near Me - Hood River, Oregon

Super good - best place to eat in hood River. Some of the best cooked fries I ever had. Hamburger was super tasty and meaty!!!! Good atmosphere too. read more

Enjoyed a nice lunch with the family. The food was good, tater tots are my favorite. The kids enjoyed playing games and the waitress was very nice. Rustic tavern type feel, not a ton of seating but was fine for kids. read more

Stopped in for lunch today and it was a great choice! Had Apricot Cider that was on tap which may be the best cider I have had yet. Bacon cheeseburger and tots were mighty mighty tasty. The burger was juicy and flavorful and the tots were seasoned crispy wonders! Best tots I have ever had in fact. Casual, clean and reasonably priced. Will most likely go here again the next time we are in Hood River. read more

We had the best lunch today! Party of 6, three of which were kiddos. Very casual, and a cupboard full of games to keep littles occupied! But the food! The kids menu was great, and had something for everyone and great side options! My brother had a burger that he moaned over, my sister in law lived the clam chowder. I got the French dip and it was so i tensely delicious! Wish we could stop again on our holiday weekend! read more

Had the Spinach Salad and Turkey Sandwich. Both very good! Girlfriend and I shared both of them...yum! Would definitely come here again if in the area. Seems like a touristy type of area (I'm from Seattle area) with lots of restaurants to choose from. Tonight we try one of the Sushi restaurants. read more

Friendly service, food came out fast (and was good!) and was reasonably priced. The litmus test: They can cook a burger rare. I would say 3 out of 5 places my old man orders a burger rare, it comes out over cooked. So yes, that is one of the tests of a good restaurant in my book. Next test: house salad was mixed greens, not chopped romaine or iceberg. Fantastic croutons. I had the fish sandwich with all the fixins, and tots of course. Everything came out hot and fast. I'd eat here again! read more

A fancy, upscale restaurant and lounge, Trillium is not. But what Trillium is....is dark, loud, and greasy with good, piped-in music or music from a live act, good service, great pub food, and delicious cocktails. Depending on when you go, you can play a board game, have an interesting conversation with the bartender and locals who are belly up to the bar, or dance the night away. You can't go wrong with the Bacon & Bleu burger and tots! read more

Despite other reviews given, this outfit had excellent service and great food!!! We came in at 5:30pm on a Monday. only 2 other couples present. over the next hour the place filled up. Service was continuous from the time we walked through the door. We ordered some beverages and the humus plate - hold the phone right there. The humus plate is very generous, very fresh, wide variety - roasted pepper hummus filling a medium sized bowl (about 8 - 12 oz). probably 20 pieces of pita wedges, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, kalimati olives, pepperochinis. and generous pile of mozzarella chunks. Flavor - excellent. quantity - over the top, service - top notch. we placed our order just as the appetizer arrived.n Ham on Havarti, with salad with honey balsamic dressing, chicken strips and tots and a bowl of broccoli cheese soup. As the appetizer disappeared the entries arrived - sans the soup. In the end the soup was a complete no show. But we had so much to eat we never noticed it until the drive home. Ham on Havarti - great flavor, fresh ingredients including great bread. no complaints here. The chicken and tots - honestly - we were so full from the appetizer most of it went home with us. To be fair, the chicken and tots were - sort of average. nothing special about them. But they were fresh, not soggy and the tots were nicely crisped. Bottom line - highly recommend the trillium cafe - for food quality, for fast friendly and attentive service. good luck foodies. read more

My family and I just arrived in Hood River and were looking for a quick bite. We happened upon this based on the Yelp reviews and headed down. The inside of this cafe is more "local bar" then family restaurant but the bartender was very friendly and the menu seemed good. We ordered a meatball sandwich, fish and chips, club sandwich and chicken Charlie. The kitchen was right next to where we sat and we watched one man cook for the whole bar. When we got our food I was surprised by the ample portions. The food was excellent. I was quite astounded that this place had produced such great tasting food. The only reason for not giving it five stars is there was a couple at the bar so inebriated that my kids couldn't stop looking over at them and asking why they couldn't pronounce simple words. Other than that - Go. You won't be disappointed. read more

Really good food and a nice low key environment in a town that's all about winery's and fine dining now. Service was speedy but not overly attentive. My husband had the fried green beans which we're good and two cheeseburgers with bacon which we're delicious. Perfectly uncomplicated! The awesome water was good and other drinks we're not to weak! Yes! read more

Best pub/bar food in hood river hands down. Chicken parm sandwich and burgers are awesome!

A staple in Hood River. Trillium is a popular locals hangout, partly because the drinks are so affordable. But more than that it has a great chill vibe. Plus they have the best fries around. Overall, cheep drinks, a great staff, and delicious food. Its a great place to go for a quick bite at lunch or late night entertainment. read more

Tasty food. Good burgers and Cajun tots! Accommodating staff and fun memorabilia on the walls. Lots of board games and pinball too!

Apparently it takes them half hour to make a freaken burger when they're have empty. Disappointing!

Went here with a group of 6. My wife had the veggie burger, which she said was the best veggie patty she ever had. I split the turkey Ruben and turkey Meister with someone else. The Ruben was good, but the Meister was so much better. I would say it is one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. Definitely pleasantly surprised by this place, and will come back the next time we are in town. read more

Walked in on a fairly quiet Wednesday night and one of the workers told us to grab a clean table. We sat down at a table across from the bar and waited for menus or even to order drinks. 15 minutes later and still no water or service I tried to flag the waiter down only to fall on blind eyes. We stuck it out for 5 more minutes before walking out. It's a shame, their food is pretty good too - unfortunately their night staff isn't at the same level. read more

Needed a stop with varying needs in dietary and yummy. We tried Trillium from the reviews and the food did NOT disappoint! From the meatloaf, chicken sandwich, to the mac-n-cheese the table fell silent in delight of taste. Erin served us well, attentive refilling our water. We normally would have tried a local brew in tap but driving through. So really appreciate the full service and sad we could not partake in local brew. It is a bar with great seating, board games to play so pick your friends right to experience great food, humor, game, and they have live music events too. Note: it is an institution in town, a bar so the accommodations are rough and the older of our group commented on the restroom. The $ was right and they give you more value in a few extras. All and all, this is bookmarked for our travels through Hood River. The age range of our group was 40 to 85 and no one was disappointed in the food and loved the service. read more

Service here is baaaaaaaaaaaad. Walked in and waited to at least be greeted, but nothing... there was only one bartender, but seriously man acknowledge a customers existence. There are plenty of other good bars in town. Sorry guys, but I'll take my money somewhere that has a staff that cares. read more

Great atmosphere; not divey but also not too classy. Good food and beer. Perfect place for either a quick lunch, or to sit and drink all day. read more

Loud, noisy bar. Great 80s 90s music. Friendly waiter/bartender. Asked his recommendations and we ordered one of each. My meatloaf was delicious, tender, juicy with mild slice and a great cheese and red pepper sauce. Fresh broccoli side. My wife's french dip was also delicious and tender. The au jus was not prepackaged, and not salty! Her fries were perfect, my tots okay. Delightful experience. read more

Excellent beef, a generous pile of bacon, a good bun, savory barbecue sauce, and homemade fries. Beautiful. Also, any place that knows to add havarti cheese on a sandwich is worth the stop. Friendly service rounds out the experience. read more
