I need to write more "good" reviews and after grabbing pickup at Butcher Burger while we were…read morestaying nearby, I'm so happy to give this place 5 stars. I found their combo with two kids burgers so satisfying for the desire of a time when that company we don't visit anymore had reasonable prices. I was happy to pay Butcher's prices because it was so much better than even the memories of those other burgers were. But the real reason I HAD to write this glowing review is that we also got the onion rings. These onion rings are the best damn onion rings I've ever had. I got full on the burgers and fries and first helping of rings. Then a few hours later I polished off the rest of the rings. This place is a jewel you should not miss, especially if you need a break from seafood.

We just got espresso martinis, which were pretty good. I'd definitely come here again to try the other drinks and enjoy the vibe!

The restaurant is absolutely charming and so cozy on the inside. Service was exceptional as was the food. We ordered a bunch of things to try but our favorite was the spicy eggplant terrine, it was literal perfection. Other dishes we loved were the halibut, smash burger, asparagus, and hazelnut mousse. I can't believe I waited so long to try this spot, but I won't make that mistake again!

The ambiance is a classic burger joint: music, loud chatter, etc, but it's perfect for the vibe. Our waiter was attentive, though not overbearing. The food was delicious. I got the crispy chicken sandwich and my wife got the cowboy burger. The buns on both were the star of the show, for us. Clearly handmade in the back, soft and chewy, yet sturdy enough to handle a hefty burger and sandwich. We also got the loaded fries, which were alright. For the price, I don't know if I'd recommend them again, just go with the regular fries. The texture of the fries was perfect, but the pickled onion/ground beef combination was not my favorite.

Yum! This spot was…read morehighly recommended by friends and also on every "must try" list we found for the city. So, we decided to sneak over here after a busy morning at the lighthouse with our toddler for a nice, filling lunch before a later flight home. We must've gotten lucky on a Sunday bc our wait for three people was about 15-20 minutes quoted and we spent 10 minutes walking the block to entertain our toddler, came back to check-in and our table was ready! yay! We had a great table in the corner by the window which was excellent with our toddler. Our server, Brian, was wonderful and super friendly. Menu isn't huge but, has enough stuff that should be able to please most. We chose a small fry with the daily dip which was almost like a mayo-based honey mustard dijon and was delicious, with ketchup and vinegar for dipping. Fries were crispy and delicious. We got the green salad and the Cuban to split and loved both. The sandwich was delicious and the green salad was light and refreshing with some really yummy herbs on top to include fennel which isn't usually on a salad but I loved the taste for this one, worked perfectly with the dressing. My husband ordered their house-made cherry soda and let me tell you, best cherry soda of my life! We ordered two bc I drank about half of it. They have a charming outdoor patio area with about 3-4 other tables. Charming spot - def. recommend! Wait can get super long - by the time we left they were quoting over an hour for a table since it's smaller inside and large parties can take up almost all the spaces.

This is by far one of my favorites! It was our first time visiting this brewery, and we were…read moreimmediately impressed by how beautiful and welcoming the space was. There are so many different seating options--you can sit in the dining area, grab a high-top at the open bar, or enjoy your food and drinks outside. I especially loved the decor! It has such a beautiful garden-inspired vibe that makes the space feel really cozy and inviting. The staff was incredibly nice and friendly, which always makes an experience even better. They also had a great variety of beers, cocktails, and non-alcoholic options, so there really is something for everyone. We had such a great first experience here and already looking forward to coming back!

Unfortunately, we did not have a family friendly experience during Guster on the Ocean weekend…read more Despite eating there multiple times, each time it was unaccommodating. We had to get something else on the kids menu because our kid is not used to red hot dog. That's fine but the wait staff said she would remove the charge. Instead, what happened was the hot dog was taken away and we were still charged the hot dog price. Saturday night, we tried to order online for pickup but their online order system was down during concert night. OK. We go to the restaurant to order. It was mostly empty with a few customers. We're told to go back to order pickup. The wait staff was so rude to me and the kids. I get it. They sell good beer that everyone buys cases and cases of to bring home. Customer service is lacking to families who travel far for a music weekend

Well, I have been meaning to try this restaurant for many years…read more I finally committed to try . Definitely cater to the tourists who see the location as a must try. The bar tender was very helpful with his beer and lobster recommendations . I ordered the lobster flight of 3 mini lobster rolls. I selected the hot butter one, . I selected a cold one .Bar tender suggested the garlic aioli not the cold option but the hot with the garlic aioli . This one was clearly the best and a game changer wih the garlic aioli mayo dripping g on warm meat vs just the hot butter one . I am surprised why other restaurants for hot lobster rolls don't offer this version. Price of the lobster flight wasn't for the faint of heart or a light wallet. I will return again as good menu and beer selections. Nice vibes, plenty of seating and a well operated restaurant as been in Portland for a long time making money and serving food people want .

Delicious food and fast service!…read more Not from the area so Google was our friend this Saturday afternoon to figure out a place to eat. Unknowingly when arriving to Portland, there was a protest that many businesses were closed for so pickings were slim for food.....that being said...SO glad we came across Little Tap House! We got there (three adults) around 4p and sat right down at the bar. I wish I would have taken a photo of how MASSIVE the mussels were. They were also just so delicious. The focaccia bread that came with it?? Let it soak up that juice because yes. Just yes. We also ordered the deviled eggs, fried calamari, clam chowder and some beers. The lemon pepper aioli that came with the calamari was very good. I'd chosen the raspberry sour they just put on tap and that was very good. If I'd gotten the bartender's name, I would absolutely give her a shoutout on here because she was great as well! I'd recommend this place to others!

We stopped in on a winter Wednesday, so it was pretty quiet, but the space still had a cool ambiance with great music playing and a couple of people at the bar. My husband and I both ordered burgers (made with smash patties) and they were delicious. The menu felt more compact than I remembered, but there were still plenty of solid options. The burgers tasted like an elevated Big Mac in the best way. I also appreciated that our waitress offered to substitute the fries for a Caesar salad! I took her up on it, and it was surprisingly really good with lots of Parmesan. We also had the pretzel bites, and they were phenomenal with a generous portion size. Service all around was great. Definitely worth the return visit.
