Restaurants in Hood River

“Great location offering baked goods, drinks and sandwiches. Ordered an open-face sandwich on rye bread with avocado, tofu, tomatoes, and balsamic drizzle. A blackberry lemon poppy seed loaf, chocolate chunk cookie, and matcha latte. The sandwich hit the spot for something healthy and savory. The lemon poppy loaf was fantastic, I could have totally eaten a second, though I'm sure my body would not be happy with all the sugar. The cookie was also great with some salt crystals on top that juxtapose well with the sweet cookie. The matcha latte was a bit too matcha-y, had to dilute it a bit and sweeten it. Also got the Korean kimchi wrap with potato chips to go which was extremely satisfying after a long drive. Highly recommend this place.”

“the food and service are always great. been eating there for years… they all know me!!”

“Mungen Noodle caught my attention as soon as we parked. It absolutely did not disappoint. Their potstickers were deep fried and delicious. For my main I ordered the Fire Fish making it extra spicy. The heat was well balanced and not overwhelming. The salmon was also soo good. For desert I got the sesame seed mochi ice cream. There’s something about the texture that I love. That softness mixed with the cold ice cream complimented each other perfectly. This takes me back to my visits to Japan. I absolutely loved it and would return if given the opportunity.”

“Amazing vegan food!! Visiting Hood River. Love this place!”

“Amazing food and service. Everything was of the highest quality. Can’t recommend enough”

“Such a neat shop! They were so sweet and gave my son an icecream and an IOU when they let us know it was cash only for the day (tech difficulties). Love that kind of trust and generosity in a small town! Delicious ice cream, great customer service- a must stop when visiting the area!”

“Nice spot. Parking can run hot and cold. Excellent shop, well taken care of. Slim on staffing, adequate to the task. Fewer food offerings than some other places, but nothing to knock them on. It was all excellent. Family friendly. Plenty of 4 tops can easily be 6, or taller tables for couples.”

“Pine Street Bakery ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ On 9/15/22, I stopped in Hood River, Oregon to check out Pine Street Bakery. Owner Megan Davis’s mother started Grand Central Bakery in Seattle, Washington in 1972. Today, there are 11 locations between Portland and Seattle. If you ever have an opportunity to visit a Grand Central Bakery/Café, I recommend it. I wanted to try one of their famous Cardamom Knots, which are Challah dough slathered in Vanilla Butter, covered in Cardamom Sugar and tied in a Knot. Unfortunately, they were out. I got a Carrot Cake cupcake ($5), which is one of their best sellers, as well as a Maddie Cake cupcake ($5). The Maddie Cake cupcake is a seasonal cupcake that changes with some regularity. The current Maddie Cake cupcake is Peaches & Cream. It is Vanilla cake filled with Peach compote made from local peaches, topped with a Vanilla Swiss Meringue Butter cream frosting. I enjoyed both cupcakes but my favorite of the two was the Maddie Cupcake because it was so unique. There was a generous amount of peach compote in the center of the cupcake, as well as on top. The compote had great flavor. Both cupcakes were fairly dense but moist. In addition to the baked goods and breads, Pine Street Bakery has Breakfast, Lunch, and Coffee menus, as well as specials. They also sell a lot of other products and fresh flowers. Highly Recommended!!!”

“Thank you Boda's Kitchen for everything you do. You make everyday special and special days extraordinary. From the cookies, hot and cold sandwiches, fantastic salads (actually more than fantastic), roast chicken and potatoes, to your cheese and salum selections and all the tasty treats to go with. Then the special days, wow, your catering is absolutely the best. We all know that if it comes from Boda's, it will be incredible. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you”

“Absolutely amazing mouth watering italian cuisine. Chef Elizabeth is truly a master at her craft and I highly recommend checking out her delicious food!”

“This place is just top notch all-around. Crazy good brews, super high quality ingredients for all of their food-- some of these dishes are next level. Every time wifey and I visit HR we swing through. Then we talk about how we can't wait to come back when we're back home in Dallas. The real deal here. Nice work, Pfriem team. Curated this place like a boss. See you again soon!”

“On our way back to Pendleton from Portland, we stopped to charge our car. Then walked over to Solstice Wood Fire Pizza for dinner. We decided to order the BLBB pizza, a hot Kenyan Grey tea, and a huckleberry organic lemonade. Our server Brad N did an awesome job making our dining experience a real treat.”

“I suggest to the owner to change the name of the business. Instead of bakery, it needs to be Delicious Art. It is because each dessert really is a magnificent piece of art and so delicious!!!
I tried this time the Tamarindo Choux, so, so, good!!!”

“I don’t want this review to be taken lightly. My wife, her parents and myself dined here in May. I may not speak for them, but I will shout it from the rooftops- This restaurant is something truly special. The combination of Nathan and Chef Sarah’s talents are truly remarkable. I will not dare tote my expertise here, because Sarah is light years ahead of anyone in a hundred mile (plus??) radius when it comes to a culinary education, but each item wether it is a-la-cart or prefix is so filling and the flavors intelligently thought out. Down to the temperature they reach at the arrival of the table. Fresh baked bread, bouillabaisse, oostera caviar, and wagyu steaks? Don’t second guess the notches in your belt, get the caviar. Chef Sarah’s multitude of talents truly shine brightest in the pastry department. I have full confidence in saying every dessert that will ever be consumed here will be taken bite by bite with gratitude, fond memories with your loved ones and flavor-induced euphoria. Nathan is also a mastermind behind the operation, and has a wealth of knowledge about the area and more importantly, local and foreign wines. I can’t wait to see how he and Sarah continue to grow this business in the years to come. To top it off, the signed card from the owners with a list of each guests ordered items, thoughtfully thanking their guests? Super class act.

If I had anything, ANYTHING at all to say…Hood River is full of so much beautiful multi-cultural art, and niche charm. I would love to see Chef Sarah and Nathan’s take on incorporating more art inside the restaurant. The tall ceiling and barren white walls are just a touch intimidating for new guests. (I recommend checking out Bellingham local Chef James Zamory’s collection). Just a thought.

With that, dear reader, you have every reason to pack those dress shoes you haven’t worn since your brother’s wedding and she has every reason to break out that gorgeous dress she’s been dying to wear out on the town- make a stop here and have a glorious memory to hold near and dear to your heart for years to come.

Thank you, see you soon.”

“So Awesome! One of the best place to visit on the fruit loop. Samples of everything they sell right outside with the must helpful staff. We loved it there… and definitely will be back!”

“Delicious outstanding Mexican food and the restaurant is beautiful and clean service is awesome I wish we had a location in our town”

“As a professional wedding planner, I had the great joy of working a wedding here in July and I was BLOWN AWAY by this venue, not only for it's views and architecture but also by it's company culture, customer service and love for clients. I have added this venue to our VIP Venue list for 2024+2025 which grants their clients a $200 discount on all wedding planning packages simply because we can't wait to work at this venue again!”

“I ordered the Thai Chicken. They will ask you what level of heat you want. I get Thai hot, I'm not real sensitive to spicy food. It was delicious and comes with brown rice, decent portions and pair it with Thai tea and you'll have a delicious meal. I would highly recommend this place.”

“We were so fortunate to find this unique Cafe with one of the most eclectic and carefully curated menus. The tacos, enchiladas and quesedillas were just the right portions and we could taste the freshness of their ingredients. The crush puppies were a star as were the cider flights. What stuck with us though was how friendly, personable and genuinely kind the staff was. They made it an incredible experience. It was the most grounded and relaxing eating experience we could have imagined. Keep shining and we will certainly be back when we can!”

“The Scandinavians know how to do breakfast.”

“Great food, great beer, great service. Highly recommend.”

“This was an amazing wine tasting experience! The tasting room is very unpretentious and the staff were very knowledgeable and friendly . They have great wines at a really good price point.”

“I have been coming here for quite some time and I will tell you that this place never disappoints. Pork carnitas tacos are my staple here, but you can find whatever you're craving. I would suggest calling ahead as it can get busy especially around lunch or in the late afternoon. Great prices and a Hood River Landmark.”

“What a great experience! Great drinks, Great food , and amazing staff”

“We loved working with Amy for our wedding reception desserts on July 4th at Mt. View Orchards! We decided to do a dessert bar instead of a cake. She made the whole process so smooth and prepared a tasting box several months before our event to help us pick what we wanted. Everyone loved the desserts, everything was so tasty and she made setup and take down a breeze. She easily accommodated having several gluten free options including a cupcake which was so good! We can’t thank her enough and highly recommend!”

“Not disappointed. Fast, friendly, great tasting and very reasonably priced.”

“excelente 👍 muy rico todo”

“We had asada tacos and fish tacos and both were bomb!! The home made tortillas are sooo worth it!! Stopped from pendleton or going to Portland or.”

“Place is highly rated for a reason. Delish! Best fish tacos I've had in a long time. Carne asada tacos, plus sides of rice (very tasty, moist) and beans. Off to Jackson Park to eat!”

“I highly recommend Marchesi Vineyards! Their wine was exquisite, great service, amazing views and ambiance. I felt like i was in Italy!”

“I have not had a beer here (yet) but the little bar downstairs is the best in town as far as I am concerned. It is such an intimate environment and the bartender is so welcoming and knowledgeable. The zero proof cocktails are as well thought out and delicious as the regular menu. If you're in HR and the place is open, do yourself a favor.”

“Cute place with great food and great Margaritas!!!”

“Always a favorite while living in Hood River. Still a favorite when we go back to visit.”

“FANTASTIC inclusive Sunday matinee event yesterday! We sang, we made new friends, and loved every moment. 💜 Not your typical stuffy boring wine tasting crowd!

Lobster quiche paired well with the wines suggested. The themed mimosas to match the event were also quite nice!

LGBT welcoming space with a fun and artistic crowd. We'll be back for sure. This is about to become our favorite event space in Hood River. Keep up the great work!”

“Cute little dive bar with a full menu, and pool table. Same owner as the Grille next door. Friendly staff and customers, great place to chat and make a friend.

Smoking area put back behind the pool table. Multiple seating area rooms for dining, groups, and a well stocked full bar.

Classic dive bar drink prices and happy hour special. Several local spirits from PNW distillers, to try without breaking the bank.

Chicken schnitzel was tender and fresh. Roasted cauliflower and lentil soup was delicious on a cold rainy evening!”

“We stopped by this place on our last trip to Hood River and we absolutely loved it. Great vibe, great beer, the beertender was super friendly and the brewery kitty was adorable! We will definitely be back!”

“Beautiful Family-frienly shop. It is Hood River's Living room.”

“What a rad little shop! Nice collection of taps and bottles/cans. Amanda and Ika were a treat to hang out with. Will definitely be back.”

“This place is great - I've been eating lunch here for several times a month over the last several years. Food is great/fresh and call in order is always ready when I show up :)”

“We were on our way home to LaGrande. Not sure if it was worth a ten mile trip off of 84 for a dinner stop. It is fabulous and now I wish I lived so much closer. Will definitely make the trip again!”

“It's literally a burger shack, like a structure shack BUT let me tell you!!! FIRE burgers,

The philly... I'm big boy the philly was so good I thought I was on the EastCoast! Thought very close! If you are looking for solid burger or hoagie go asap! Bonus: They had milkshakes too! Unfortunately I didn't get to try, looked sooo good!! A must go! I will return soon! 🍔🥖”

“Been on a mission to try and find the best tacos in HR. After trying this place for lunch, Los Hermanos is the new front runner BY FAR! So delicious! Juicy, flavorful, and CRISPY carnitas. Highly recommend!”

“The tacos are great. Small menu but good. It's a food cart with just one table and not much cover so it may be tough to eat there in bad weather but if you just want some great tacos or a burrito it's good”

“Wonderful food and amazing owners! The best authentic Thai Food in The Gorge!”

“Lived next door to the house they started the business in as a child. Most wonderful people, wonderful coffee - sure wish I could get it in stores in Spokane. 😝”

“Try the quesabirria tacos. They are fantastic! Stop getting ripped off at Taco Bell, and come to La Madrina for food that wasn’t created a factory. The price, the flavor, and the portion size are all on point!”

“The tacos dorado are unbelievable. They do a special on Tuesday for buy 4, get one free. You will eat them all, and you will be happy. Tamale masa is soooo flavorful. The cheese and pepper is spicy and awesome. Get the Jamaica juice, too.”

“Made special trip down to get some good eats while they’re in town. The Mac n cheese with Pulled Pork and Brisket over coleslaw is our favorite!”

“My family son, daughter,in laws, out laws have been going here for over 50 years. The best Pizza ever. They use to have more locations even a takeout on S.E. Woodstock and it was great as well. We Wish Pietro’s the best with many good years. Did I mention we love Pietro’s ? Lewis family.”
