Of all the McMenamins I’ve been to, I have to say this one—McMenamins on Monroe—was the most disappointing. We came in with a group of nine people for lunch on a Saturday, and even though the place wasn’t very busy, the food just didn’t measure up.
I ordered the Cheeseburger Slider Trio expecting something flavorful, but it turned out bland and lacking taste. I even had a few others in my group try it, and everyone agreed they wouldn’t order it again.
I also tried the Hammerhead Barbecue Chicken Pizza, thinking it would be a safe bet, but it came out overcooked and harder than it should have been. It was only okay, and after a couple slices, I didn’t care to eat much more. Others at my table tried it too, and no one was impressed.
Both dishes I ordered are things I’ve had at other McMenamins locations in Washington, and I don’t recall ever having a bad experience before. That’s what made this visit so surprising.
Honestly, I don’t think I’d come back to this location.

Wings appetizer amazing. Pool tables upstairs. Ask the staff about the sinks, it's a cute story.

We've always had great service and food at our local McMenamins in Bend and were pleased when we chose to eat at this location when our son graduated. Happy to say the usual standards applied here and we received excellent service and enjoyed a wonderful meal, highly recommend

Great little place.
Angelo Kandas
Standard McMenamins. The clam chowder had to much thyme but other items were good. Service was good
Edilane Costa
Very nice place. I hope to visit again.

It's a McMenamins, what can I say
Mark Henderson
Food was great. Service a little inattentive, and lamp at table had multiple spills on it
Really bad Sysco frozen food. The most upsetting one is having handbreaded chicken strips advertised, and in reality, it's nasty Sysco strips. They never have good service, the drinks are bad and overpriced, and they're always dead in there. I live two minutes away, but I will not be eating there ever again.

To be honest, like in every place I put a review on. This is the worst McMenamins there is. I'm surprised that the owners still allow it to have open doors. The food menu here is not like the other McMenamins. Burgers and Sandwiches here is mostly what is on the menu, and it doesn't impress me like the other locations. Service is OK here. However, if it wasn't for the OSU students coming here, this place more and likely not make it elsewhere. There are not good othere choices on the menu, and don't order the TNT chicken basket. You pay over fifteen dollars for chicken that tastes no different than a chicken basket at Dairy Queen. The pizza has way too much raw flour under the crust for a person to consume.

We callled for a resverastion. Girl on the phone said we could had a reserved spot. Once we got here they said we couldn’t have spot. Unprofessional service. Can’t believe they didn’t give a table after we called and save a spot. Never coming back here.

If it wasn’t McMenamins it would be struggling. Above average pricing for below average food.
Can't go wrong.
