Thunder Island Brewing Co

This is absolutely my favorite place to go to for family dining! The staff is super sweet and attentive, bathrooms and restaurant are both very clean, the food is delicious, they often change the menu for specials, they have an excellent kids menu, and of course a wide variety of beers on tap. The view is also spectacular. You can see the mountains and the Columbia Gorge River. They do a lot of neat community events that enrich the area and help families in need. All around a wonderful business. If you’re in the area, definitely make a point to visit Thunder Island Brewing Company!

Love working here :)

So good. We stopped here at random off the interstate and feel like we scored. The kimchi Reuben is perfection as were the fries that came with it. The Laos Curry was very good. Servers were great. The beer is excellent and there's a beautiful view of the river.

Wasn't very busy for a Friday evening at 6:30pm. Very confusing as to who is and isn't staff unless you wait and watch. No one around to ask about seating and menus despite signs to check in with hostess.
Partner went in once we found seating outside and was able to order. Outdoor is self bussing and self pick up for food. Which is fine.
Patio has heaters and outdoor stairs to get to and there's a big tented area for seating on the ground floor without heaters. Made it easy since we had 2 dogs with us. Place looked very nice. But that's about it. And the only reason for 2 stars.
Orange chicken bowl was just typical from frozen but didn't even fill half the container, tasted fine. Ginger tofu bowl was decent but was more than half cabbage with the rest being rice and tofu.
Hot chocolate was probably the worst. Granted it was only $3. But it was water with a little hint of hot cocoa mix.

I just flew in town for the first time for the breweries and sights then randomly saw this place. Explored the menu and fell in love. Cool people, beautiful views from location and damn good beer. Get the flights(8), the deluxe burger-extra patty with fries, and i promise you that you will not be disappointed! Though you may have to be carried out in a wheelbarrow after all that but this Gem is WORTH IT! Thank you for the experience!

This place was exactly what we needed after hiking through the Columbia River Gorge all day. I got an 8 beer flight and liked every single one. Food was awesome, orange chicken was perfect and the spring rolls were excellent. Would definitely go back!

Friendly for kids, but large groups seem to cause mayhem and be an inconvenience.
The hostess seemed upset that we even arrived, but eventually we figured out a table.
But on to important things-
The glaring western sun made it hard to be comfortable and talk with friends (believe in blinds?)
Vegan ranch - thick (not good). Regular ranch - totally fine.
Most burgers have great pickles, or at least enough pickles to have good pickle taste with each bite. They give you a taste, NOT enough pickle.
On a good note, I respect the Halloween decorations. And they do have dinosaurs.

The wait staff were very efficient and polite, the food was delicious, and it was an open and inviting atmosphere. While I didn't have a beer as I'm a stout and porter guy and there weren't any on the menu, others with me did enjoy their drinks.

Overall, it's my second time to this brewery (once at the old location and this time at the new spot), but I'd certainly recommend this to people passing by for food and/or drinks.

We waited 75 minutes from when we sat down to when we got our food. They only had 4 items on the kids menu and our granddaughter who normally is not a picky eater would not eat anything on it. Speaking of food on the menu, it seemed like at least half were vegan or vegetarian. So if you have plenty of time and you don't have kids and you have dietary restrictions this place is for you otherwise I would pass.

Owner really hates paying taxes and is noisy about it. Try Walking Man in Stevenson instead. Better prices, better food, building isn't shiny and new.

Stopped in as a quick lunch stop as I was traveling from Western WA to Eastern WA on a Monday. I didn't have any wait time and was greeted and seated immediately. Everything was clean and inviting with great views. The Kerabu Snacking Salad was amazing from first bite to last. Perfect combination of sweet, refreshing, and a slow heat. I would eat this on the regular. The Buffalo Cauliflower had an unfamiliar taste which I didn't care for but I think that is just a personal taste preference. Plenty of other menu items for me to try next time instead of the cauliflower.

Pretty location, great views of the river. Food was awful. Unappetising and very questionable grey chicken and everything else that came on that plate.

Found this place on a lark. I got the Ruben but by east coast standard it wasn’t good. Too fatty too much food and not enough flavor. Wife got the salad which was excellent. Beer was decent. I’d go back just wouldn’t order the Ruben. You must go see the fish at cascade locks. Unreal salmon and sturgeon the size of a cat.

Well. Not great. Got there at 6:45 and checked in, was given no idea of a wait time. My bad for not asking. Waited a full hour to be seated, ok. They were really busy.
Got to our seats and sat there for 20 minutes when our waiter who had helped others that sat after us, noticed we were there.
Came and said he could take our order if we were ready. Lol. We were clearly ready.
Ordered our food and waited another 40 minutes for two burgers and fries. And more than half mine were burnt.
Waiter never came to check on us until the end. He asked how our food was and I pointed out my burnt fries and wanders off and was back in less than a minute with a bowl of new fries. Fasted event of the evening but, at this point, I just want to go home. I refused the offering.

I get being short staffed. I truly do but over all, this was beyond what I could justify.
