I work right across from here at PCC. This place I've been to over the years. Not my favorite place for food but it will do in a pinch. Mediocre. However they usually make great cocktails, and the staff there have always been great. Never too crowded and the happy hour is ok. I will likely go again because of the ease of it all. read more

Everyone here goes above and beyond! I could rave on and on.. the staff, customers, food, ambience! As a vegetarian, the wilted spinach with no protein is spectacular! I appreciate such an amazing spot, so close to home , read more

Great customer service and very quick! Really enjoyed my meal here with my fiancé. Underrated spot!

Stopped in for a quick appetizer and ordered the artichoke dip. Subbed the chips for their bread and it was amazing. Very friendly and great service!! read more

I've been there maybe a hundred times over the past 30+ years. Still the same wonderful service, and same recipes. Very relaxing atmosphere. The best!!' read more

The pandemic has been hard on all of us. I'm just grateful our neighborhood watering hole is still making our tasty treats to go. I've stopped up here a couple of times since the governor's order and found the service prompt and the food spot on. They also have growler fills available. One of the fun things they have added to their menu is fresh donuts and I'm thinking that is something that needs to remain after this temporary closure has passed. Now open 4p to 8p for take out or Grub Hub delivery (closed Sunday-Monday) give them a try for a taste of your favorites foods at home. I'll be back to give them a try again. read more

Walter Mitty's - Due to the pandemic there are modified hours and pick up and delivery are available. - New American Near Me - Lake Oswego, Oregon

Walter Mitty's is a gem. They've got good food, great staff, and an awesome children's playroom upstairs. They were also really good about working with my food allergy, and that's not as common as you would think. read more

I've had many a meal here over the last 2 years and everything has been top notch! It's consistent quality and we've yet to be disappointed. Plus it's great having an outdoor patio to eat on. read more

The wilted spinach salad and the Salmon fettuccine alfredo pesto are both fantastic and fabulous dishes. I live close by, but never visited this restaurant until this year. They have a private patio that makes one feel like they are up in the trees. I ate here twice this year including about a month ago in October and in the summer - both times I ate outside on their patio, and loved it. The pasta had a lot of salmon in it and it was very flavorful and extremely delicious. Just amazing. Definitely get this dish if you enjoy Salmon. I really enjoyed all the food we ordered and it was reasonable for the portion sizes we received. This is a "new to me" restaurant that I definitely would recommend. read more

Worst. Food. Ever. Like seriously, no lie. Our dinner was completely inedible. The spinach and artichoke dip was so mayonnaise-y and oily that it remained entirely untouched, and the Chicken Piccata that I ordered (which is normally one of my favorite meals) was so salty, that it tasted like someone had dropped an entire salt shaker on there by mistake (or at least I'm hoping it wasn't intentional), because it was bad, bad, bad. Like so bad, I gave up after 2 or 3 bites and just threw everything into the garbage. A complete waste of money on a Friday night when I was already so hungry I would've eaten just about anything... well, almost. Total disappointment. read more

Excellent food, casual dining, and the service was outstanding. We eat here with friends and plan to come here more regularly.

Neighborhood go-to, always know that food and service will be top-notch! The "welcoming" place to go. read more

Location was all it had going for it. Not good for groups of 10-12 or people who want to be treated like respected customers willing to pay $$. Made us feel like TA because we dared to order food...during happy hour...on a Friday....Guess not everyone likes money. Food wasn't worth the fight or wait to get it. On the bright-side, now I've got a funny story to tell if anyone ever suggests going here again. read more

Food is very good, drinks are very good, service is better than average and the staff are exceptional. I don't know everyone's name but I observe. The two I'm familiar with work the bar and serve food. Valerie and Blair. Everyone seems to do everything. No slackers here. The staff are so friendly and fun. Great neighborhood bar. I would be comfortable going there alone. read more

I'll be honest with you the food was not as good as it looks like on the menu and there was a sketchy Crowther

Good chowder. Good sandwich. I'm trying something different on the menu. Delivery was perfect

Great bartenders, really good food. Good year round, but great for comfort food and a cocktail on a fall or winter evening.

Reliably good food and easy, relaxed local restaurant to meet and eat. Great fish dinners.

The food was awful. There was 7 of us and even the burger was gross. We paid but didn't eat it. The think these Yelp reviews are fake. The only thing that was good was the nachos and a coke. Service was good, people nice. But $150 for inedible food..., had to warn others. read more

The service by Susan was outstanding. She is friendly, mixes a great cocktail and sees to your every need. The food is very inconsistent having eaten there twice in a week and a half. I ordered a cup of clam chowder the first visit. It was very thick but had a nice clammy flavor. Ordered the same on second visit and found the soup so thick it actually held my spoon upright. It was very salty to the point of being inedible. First visit ordered cod fish and chips which was good but not outstanding. Second visit I ordered one of their signature dishes, wilted spinach. It was awful. Drenched with a thick oily dressing and overwhelmed with blue cheese, raisins, mushrooms and an egg. Could have had other toppings but could not bring myself to dig deeper into this mess. This dish needs some finesse and less of everything. Ambiance is neighborhood hangout. If you go, have Susan make you a cocktail and avoid the wilted spinach salad. read more

All good. No complaints. Good food. Good drinks. Decent price. We all enjoyed it and we'll be back.

Stop here on our way home from PDX. I had the specials of the day and my daughter had the pulled pork without a bun. I have to say hands down the Jalapeno Chicken Mac and Cheese with was awesome... bowl licking good. The pulled pork sandwich was huge and she ended up half in to eat it with a fork because the lettuce was not supporting the sandwich. lol read more

Located across the street from the PCC Sylvania Campus in a hidden strip-mall houses what I would consider to be a college-town pub slightly out of its element in Lake Oswego. The atmosphere inside is pretty dingy and looks like it's still trying to cling on to its old glory days of decades past, but that's expected of what an old college-town pub would be like. It's not for me personally. Oh, and there's patio seating...with spiders... What makes this place amazing is the "Walter Mitty's 'World Famous' Wilted Spinach Salad." You get hot teriyaki chicken, diced bacon, a hard-boiled egg, blue cheese crumbles, warm artichoke hearts, mushrooms slices (not for me), and spinach leaves mixed into a devilishly delicious meal that's probably not very healthy for you, but so what! Service has always been fast and friendly, even though the food has been very hit-and-miss with other items on the menu: The halibut fish & chips portion size is very small and not worth the price and the soups have been a constant source of disappointment. However, I'm told by my friends that the burgers are quite good. Apart from this, the other offerings seem to be very average at a solid 3 stars. Food: 3 Service: 5 Ambiance: 1 Value: 4 TL;DR: College dive with an awesome "World Famous" Spinach Salad read more

I have kept coming back to this place since I first reviewed it, and much of what I said in the first review still goes. Upgrading by one star, because the service is always awesome and the food is consistently good, but not great. I love that they remained open in the '23 February snow storm. My wife and I were caught unprepared by the severity of the storm and trekked to this restaurant in our YakTrax to warm up and get hot food and drinks while our power was out. read more

Great selection of food. Had the grilled salmon and it was perfect. Can't wait to go back!

I stopped in here to have a little me time after studying for my finals. The bartenders and staff are super friendly. Every night at 10 pm they give out free pizza. I think that is very nice, and if you're feeling famished after a few beers you might want a snack. They have a nice patio, and view from the deck. I heard Happy Hour there is great, and will try to make it in there soon to try it out. read more

I'm laughing at the poor reviews given for mittys. This spot is wonderful especially if you live in the area you know how special this place is. Food is always great and it's my favorite place to get together with people I haven't seen in a while. I love especially in summertime when it's warm enough to sit on the back patio and eat. The waiters always are so sweet and go out of their way. It's not fancy inside whatsoever and that's what gives it the great feel and laid back vibe. Just a great spot for consistently great food and drinks. I also eat their literally every year on my birthday if that doesn't say enough about the place read more

My friend and I had recently tried their bacon pepper jack burger and fries. We didn't expect much, but we were actually quite impressed! The bacons were yummy, guacamole was overflowingly delish and the best part? Crispy fat French fries! Best French fries in Lake Oswego! Will satisfy anyone's cravings! read more

Meh- it's an average happy hour gig. Drinks are stong, atmosphere is kind- games on. Locals hang out- close to home so easy stop.

Love this place! Awesome patio. Unbeatable happy hour and great staff. Thank you, Walter Mitty!

Love this place! A great local hang out with good food, large portions, reasonable prices and friendly and casual atmosphere.

I used to frequent this place back in the late 90's and early 2000's. I stopped by the other day for the first time in years. It's still the same place. It appears to have a good number of regulars and several decent beers/ciders on tap. The bartenders are excellent. Prompt and courteous. They may be the owners; I don't know. Suffice it to say, they were first rate. One of the coolest features about this bar is it's actual location. Beautiful Mountain Park. It's overlooking the PCC Sylvania campus. The smoking area is one of the best I have experienced. A nice little covered nook next to cedar siding with a beautiful view of the campus. It has a nice natural feel and it's kept clean. I had forgotten about this place, but it's back on the radar now. read more

Warm and inviting blue collar pub in white collar Lake Oswego. Oh this place is a delightful and warm hole in the wall. Yes, the carpet smells a bit. Yes, the walls are warm and inviting, yes the food is average, yes the people are nice and welcoming, yes the music is sweet 90s playlists, and yes the drinks are sublime. Highly recommend... read more

Walter Mitty's - Beer and cheesy chips. I love this place! - New American Near Me - Lake Oswego, Oregon

Waters has been open since 1982 very relaxing atmosphere great patio to hang out and watch the sunset. Killer top shelf margaritas. The salmon fettuccine is to die for The chicken piccata was outstanding. Make sure Susan makes your cocktails!!! She's a great mixer, great conversationalist and a rockhound. Walters is right across the street from PCC Sylvania on Capitol Highway/49th. Easy to get to only 3 minutes off of I-5 via the Capital highway exit, definitely worth your time. read more

Aww man I don't understand how this place has such a sad rating. Really? I mean, mittys is a classic! Plus it's probably the only independently owned non-corporate restaurant in LO! So this is the dl, you will get great drinks, they have friendly wait staff that have been working there fooorever so this is a place where people remember your name! They have nice tvs for sporting events and in the summer the deck is great place to chill, you can always find sunshine or shade and there's no 1hr wait involved. I personally always order the wilted spinach salad YUM! And to Robert B. I MUCH MUCH prefer their burgers to that cardboard crap they serve at McMinnamen's. read more

I meet a friend here often and it's always good! Their menu has about anything you'd want and then some. They also make me a fabulous martini. During milder weather their patio is our choice for some sunshine with dinner! Check them out!! read more

Cheer's atmosphere, good food, strong drinks & free wifi. These attributes cause me to spend way too much time here. The fish & chips and wilted spinach salad are hard to beat. The varied menu will please everyone in your group.The deck in the summer is awesome *a note about the review who's friend's salad was wilted - its called the Wilted Spinach Salad for a reason!!!! read more

I like the ambiance...its very warm and inviting. I would probably go back just for that. It was really hard to find so if it is your first time going, just know that it is on the top above the parking garage, but the entrance is in the corner of the upper parking-lot-strip-mall area. The food is very typical bar fare, unfortunately, and nothing I had really stood out. read more

If you are at PCC Sylvania on foot and desperate for a drink, this is the place for you. Food is ok. I ordered a shot of whiskey and a beer back. They asked me what type of beer I wanted, and I said whatever doesn't give me an added charge. They said they charge for all beer backs but bud light is the cheapest. I said fine. Then instead of charging me a buck or two for a beer back they proceeded to charge me for a small 12 oz beer. The bud light smelled terrible as if the taps haven't been cleaned in awhile. They serve booze. Not a destination. read more
