“I’m from Portland, but visit my mom often in Forest Grove. Whenever I’m in the area, I always drive by The Ace but never stop. Last night that changed and I’m so glad it did! Great food for a great price, cozy atmosphere and super fun staff! I can’t wait to go back again! The outdoor area looks so fun and I can’t wait to visit in the summer! Karaoke nights are coming up soon too, so you’ll find me at The Ace! See you soon! 🤗🥳🍻“

“Absolutely delicious food. Phat portions for a competitive price! I had the brisket sandwich for about $15 and it was a big ol pile of meat up on there with delicious fries and tasty ranch. Julie the waitress is an absolute sweetheart. This place is a hidden gem“

“Cozy bar and great food! Bar was pretty busy, Saturday night Connie was running the show alone and ROCKED it! Super impressed! fast, happy, and an amazing cook/bartender!“

“The atmosphere is the best part about this place. And it stays open late. The service is typical of what you've come to expect from a McMennamins. The food is, as well. But overall, it's a great place to hang out, especially if you live close, like I do.“

“So much Fun! Patty Melt was delicious!“

“New bartender is great- Felicia I think. Always has a smile 😃“

“Thank you for catering our Washinton County Bilingual Early Educator Training. Multiple teachers shared that Casa Lola offered the most authentic Mexican food they had tasted in years. It transported them back to childhood. They can't wait to visit the restaurant. Carlos Cortez and team, you are appreciated!!!“

“We were looking for something different for lunch and despite some of the reviews, decided to give Jade Palace a try. We were the only ones dining at the time, which is usually a bit concerning to me. And we also thought it unusual that there was no music of any kind playing in the dining room.We looked through the menu and decided on a couple lunch specials (as it was just about noon). We were told by the waitress that those were only for Monday-Friday lunches. (This was not listed on the menu, it simply stated 11:00 am - 2:00 pm Lunch specials)So we chose something from the regular dinner menu and ordered Hot and sour chicken and General Tso's chicken.Both meals arrived piping hot and were very tasty, and definitely distinctly different from one another. I would definitely go again, but would most likely order the food to go and have it at home.“

“Pelagic brewing is now partnering with The amazing Comida KIN. Mary Hatz and Rodrigo Huerta are fabulous chefs serving farm to table, fresh and delicious real food!! They have only been with Pelagic about 5 weeks as of Dec. 5, 2025. Please give them a try!! We did and we will definatley be back. The food was fresh and flavorful with an eclectic approach to american and mexican quisine. I had the soup, salad and cornbread and requested to have a little chorizo added to my squash-carrot soup. Every bite was so delicious! My husband had the burger with fries and loved his meal as well. The pelagic beers were also a great pairing with our meals. They have plenty of gf, vegan and vegetarian options.
Read about them and Pelagic on Pelagic's website and then go support them. Let's keep them in town!“

“Was visiting the area and thought we’d check out the line dancing lesson here. WOW, this place was a hot spot for line dancing, it was filled with all dancing levels. Instructor was great at slowly walking the group thru steps to learn. Loved the happy hour drink prices. The employees were really nice and helpful. I didn’t order food so can’t give feedback there. Several tables around the dance floor if you just want to sit and watch others or enjoy your food. Loved it!“

“I love this bar Jose is awesome he has great bartenders it’s a very friendly place and I love to come and play video poker I have won thousands $$$$$ great place“

“I love the ambience here. The decor, the lighting - it just all comes together. The prime rib French dip was super good, and the dessert options make it hard to choose! Our server was a very pleasant young man who gave us top notch service. Will of course go back again!“
