The people that work here are great but I found the menu lacking.
A Union Burger would be great, no?
You know, one that has the ingredients each taken care of; that way every part of the burger feels and taste great.

Unions make our Union better. Mmm and a side of freedom fries.

This used to be a great local option with consistently good food at a decent price but now quality has dropped and prices have shot up. $19 for a 3/10 burger is outrageous.

Came in on a Friday evening, waited by the front door for about five minutes before being seated when there were 6 empty booths available. After sitting at our table without waters being brought out for ten minutes we were told wait time for food would be 45 minutes. We should have been told at the door about the long wait time by the hostess and been asked if we wanted drinks when we were seated. Mcmenamins as a company has been trending downward for years now.

The food tasted great. Good server too. But it took for ever for the food to arrive. We tried to get a lunch in before a meeting. After over a half hour of waiting it still had t arrived. We were one of maybe three tables occupied in the entire place. There were two guys in the kitchen area. One was cooking the orders, slowly, while the other spent about a half hour making a bunch of ranch dressing in a bowl. Haha. Almost like a Saturday night live sketch. My wife is in the food service industry. She kept saying “wow look at those guys. I’ve never seen someone move so slow in a kitchen. If these guys were my kitchen staff I’d fire them!”

Recommended dishes: McMenamins Fries, Burger, Portland Dip, Cajun Tots

We walked in during slow hours on a Saturday evening. There was only a few other tables seated. The hostess finally greeted us after about 5 minutes of waiting near the entrance and seated us. After that, we proceeded to wait 15 minutes without anyone coming by to ask us for drinks. Once we watched the second table get serviced before us, we decided we were going to leave. At least the girl behind the bar gave us our McMenamins passport stamps (after we asked) so now we don’t have to come back to this location ever again. Mcmenamins not on their A game here. Better off going to other McMenamins locations

Really good food, lovely staff, quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

Kid-friendliness: Our kiddo was at a slumber party this time but other kids were there with their families and the staff were accommodating, friendly, and happy to see them.

I have some questions:

- Why was the burger so tasty?
- Peppers in the burger? Who allowed them to cook so well?
- Why is the meat so juicy?
- Is it even legal to cook French fries this perfectly?
- The food smells suspiciously good, moreover, it is aromatic, how can that be?
- Why are the staff so friendly?
- Home style dishes are served so quickly? You have to wait three hours, don’t you?
- Can I come to you again?

I highly recommend this place as here you can find a combination of unique interior design and excellent cuisine. Be careful, maybe the best burgers around ;)

Thank you so much for this experience! All was great!
