We hit this place for happy hour in the evening and we made a great choice (not bragging:).

The humans really knew what they were doing with all that wood. Smooth beams, sturdy structure--honestly, I had to resist the professional urge to take a nibble. (Five stars for temptation alone.) Inside? Cozy! Warm! Not a single predator, unless you count that one guy with the impressive beard. The ambiance feels like a riverside burrow, but with more chairs and fewer siblings crowding the entrance. Plus, the humans seem delighted to bring you treats--no gathering or dam repairs required. Overall, if you're a beaver looking for a charming place to relax, observe humans in their natural habitat, and enjoy the scent of delicious food, the Little White Shed is your spot. Highly recommend. Would chew again.

When you order three dishes and not one stands out as a good one, it's definitely a letdown…read more Sautéed Brussels Sprouts - didn't seem sautéed at all, they tasted more deep-fried. They were crispy but overly oily, and the creamy mayo-based sauce didn't pair well with them. This Appetizer took too long to come out. For the Ahi Poke Tuna - Glad I asked for the sauces on the side. Even with three sauce options, none really worked with the dish. One dark sauce tasted almost like molasses, overly sweet and not something you expect with poke. The chili sauce was also too sweet, while the soy-based sauce tasted excessively salty (fish sauce maybe added in it). I added malt vinegar myself just to balance the flavor. Also, it would be nice if the fish was seasoned with salt(or something) to alter the fishy flavor. The Fish & Chips was average at best. The batter was uneven, with some parts way too thick, though the fries were okay. Experience was not horrible, server was nice and ambiance inside is pretty. I just think the kitchen needs real work.

We grabbed seats at the bar and ordered a pour of Weller along with a bacon Old Fashioned for me. The Weller, of course, speaks for itself, but the bacon Old Fashioned was the real standout.

The candied bacon garnish was literally the cherry on top.We also ordered a generous plate of onion rings, which came out freshly fried and perfectly crunchy.

We had the Mozzarella Cheese sticks to start with, and they were scrumptious. We also enjoyed the Underwood Pinot Noir. Our daughter had a beautiful Turkey, Bacon, and Avocado Wrap with Tator Tots. (The tots were phenomenal) I had a craving for the Chicken Fried Steak. It was very good, but the gravy was a but pasty...possibly too much flour. It was still quite good. I had the french fries instead of the mashed potatoes and vegetables. They were perfectly seasoned and crisp and hot. Again, Tabatha made the evening. She is so positive and friendly and is always smiling. We will be back sooner than we have been.

No…read moretwo are alike, and all of the ones I've been to (10 or more) are charming and incredibly well done, with dark wood, comfortable lighting, good food (nothing fancy, but way better with more variety than the typical tavern). They all feature a long list of draft beers, a full bar, and great friendly service. They brew their own beer and distill a number of spirits. Their Rock Creek Tavern is a gem. It's an enormous cabin-style building, with high ceilings, large weathered beams, comfortable seating (upstairs, downstairs, outside and at a long wooden bar). There's a large fireplace, and a giant wood fired stove in the rear that they fire up on cold days. Check out their rare giant mushroom lamps and long list of eclectic objects on the walls or hanging from the rafters. The Rock Creek Tavern is a short drive north of Hillsboro, OR, on a quiet stretch of NW Old Cornelius Pass Road (a northwest offshoot of the much busier Cornelius Pass Road). This is my opinion -- I'm merely a local customer and a big fan.

He explained the IPA's for my wife and I was convinced that I would also enjoy the Italian Pilsner by his recommendation that was on tap. They were perfect. The music was also an excellent match for great food and service. The food was also excellent. As Trent told us, "people may like the beer, but it is the food that they will come back for" So true. We started with the Southern Fried Pickles...oh my...so good. And the accompanying sauces of BBQ and Ranch had flavor and were perfect for dipping. My wife had a cup of Beer Cheese Soup and a House Salad. The soup was great, but still not as good as Stanford's served in the day. The accompanying Pretzel Roll was so good. She was also enamored with the dressing for the salad. The Chef even came out to explain the ingredients to her. I had the Classic Grilled Cheese Sandwich with French Fries. This was a sandwich I would not normally order, but the 3 cheeses, bacon and tomato made it so tasty. We will definitely be back as I have already told a few friends how good ABV is.

You can tell he really enjoys what he does, and it made a big difference in our night. The only downside was another bartender (might've been a manager, idk?) who was being super rude and aggressive not just to the staff, but also to a few customers. We could hear the way she was talking to people, and it was honestly uncomfortable and kind of brought the mood down. She could have been having a bad day and I get that, but if this is a regular thing I would look into it. Felt bad for our bartender for having to deal with that energy. Kelson, if you're reading this YOU ROCK. Seriously. Keep doing your thing because your attitude and energy are what make people want to come back. Management: This place is awesome and has so much potential, it would be even better if everyone on the team matches the same great vibe Kelson brought. We'll definitely be back, mainly for Kelson!
