Restaurants in Hood River

“We had the best server and bartender.I highly recommended you visit if traveling through.”

“The BBQ was excellent! Sides were creative and not heavy. I wish I could just move to Hood River! If you try this place and give it anything less than 5 stars you might want to check your BBQ card.”

“Friendly space with good beer and cider”

“The promise of an exceptional dining experience. We're exploring the NW from Phoenix, always looking for new restaurant experiences. The chef's tasting menu at Votum did not disappoint. Incredibly unique courses, like barnacles and outstanding service!”

“Excellent food, amazing beer, fantastic service. The beer is so good, I almost always forget about the food. Might have been because I just came off the trail, but my food absolutely crushed. If you're visiting Hood River, make time to head down to the river park and check out those businesses.”

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

“Beautiful setting, wonderful people!!”

“We brought family in from Texas who were visiting for the first time in 10+ years. They remembered The Pines and old vine zin from a decade ago and wanted to make sure they returned. Geoffrey made it a great experience for them.. loved everything they tasted. Some old vine Zin will make its way on Alaska airlines back to Texas!!”

“Best food in Hood River! And right up there with the top restaurants in Portland, as well. Tasty seafood options, steaks, pasta. Good variety, focusing on quality over quantity. Beautiful presentation. Desserts are top notch and in appropriate proportions. Having been here many times over the years, we drove an hour from Portland just for dinner on a beautiful day. The views from the deck are wonderful!”

“Amazing Pizza and People! Awesome Live Music venue!”

“Great food, great service, and a great cider and beer selection! The rojo enchiladas and chili rellenos are worth a trip when they are the special of the weekend.”

“Great burgers. Friendly service. Live music! We love this place.”

“Great place for wood fired pizza, with eclectic combinations and fresh ingredients! I loved our pizza which chanterelles added on top. (I forgot to take a picture before I dove in) the Cesear salad was fresh and perfect before a carb heavy meal. Cheesy bread was yum and save room for dessert because the s’mores was insane! Only complaint is our pizza needed to be cooked a bit longer, the center was pretty soggy.”

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

“We went to u-pick the end of June for the first time and it is so beautiful there. There u-pick farm is very reasonably priced and the fruit taste amazing. We are headed back very soon. Highly recommend this place!!”

“Went here a couple days ago with family, and shared a plate of the jalapeño cheese bread. You get the same access to food options as the Mesquitery, which is nice if you don't want to sit on the restaurant side of the business.

The staff are really nice and friendly and we had a great time chatting with our bartender. Would highly recommend for a fun night out drinking with friends.

They also have a pool table set up in back for those who wish to play.

Parking: As it's the heights, it can be hard to find parking on the main roads depending on the day, but there is some good side street parking near by.”

“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.”

“great place Sunshine makes my day !”

“Their wine is fantastic, and we’ve enjoyed coming here for a long time. Make sure you call the day you want to come in - they were not open during regular hours on Saturday even after we called earlier in the week to plan our trip.That said, we love their wine - it’s consistently great, and the tasting room is cute and cozy.”

“Had a wonderful time here today. If you are in the area, stop by.”

“Great place to stop on the Fruit Loop for a wine tasting and good views of the valley! Loved the wide selection of reds and whites, and they had a really great food menu so may be the place to stop for lunch! (Artichoke dip was out of this world). Not very impressed by the staff, didn’t seem approachable and felt like they blew us off when trying to ask questions.”

“A great find! We’ll be back!”

“Will definitely go back! The staff was so friendly, informative and just really fun to talk to. The food was also amazing, but beware the menu has so many options that it was so hard to choose! Definitely feels like a hole in the wall, mom n pop type of restaurant and they really focus on fresh, hearty Italian meals. Don’t skip dessert!!
Only complaint is the lasagna had a lot of large onions that were still a bit crunchy.”

“Highly recommend for a great atmosphere and great drinks. We enjoyed our evening on the patio next to the propane fireplace, drinking the special of the day, sharing a pizza (perfectly cooked) and listening to the live band”

“We had a late opportunity to go out to eat after a rather long family meeting.
We called divots at 8:30 pm and although they closed at 9:00 pm said they would serve us if we could arrive for seating before close.
We were seated on the patio for our 10 family members' late meals. That atmosphere was great, as the evening was a perfect summer evening.
We basically all chose every dinner combination and were cooked and served perfectly to us in a timely manner.
We didn't feel in a rush by the restaurant to enjoy the meal, the company, and the great evening.
Thank you for your hospitality!

Kid-friendliness: The children enjoyed exploring the lake edge and the fountain as their Aunt enjoyed watching them play!
From the patio, we enjoyed seeing ourselves as youth back in the day playing as they were!

Wheelchair accessibility: Right from the parking lot to the pation is a wheel chair accessible concrete and covered walkway.”

“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!”

“We love Ferment for its social flare, great beer, tasty food and the best view of the Columba River Gorge!”

“Love Kobe! Great place to eat and enjoy some sushi. Great service, and delicious food.”

“We love Golden Goods! Today my husband had the tempeh and avocado BLT with garlic aioli and he loved it. Best tempeh ever! I chose the delicata squash special which included slaw, cherries, cream cheese and spicy mustard — so yummy. And don’t miss the pastries, especially the blackberry danishes. I am so pleased to see such an interesting variety of sandwiches on the menu. It’s hard to decide because each sandwich sounds so good.”

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

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

“The food was great. The casual atmosphere was terrific. We love supporting small, local businesses, especially when they are doing everything right.”

“Love, Love, Love this place! The best, creative, delicious tacos, beautiful scenery, & yummy frose’! I miss them so much over the winter!”

“Delicious. So fast and great food”

“The empenadas and baked goods were fresh and delicious. Without a doubt some of the best pie pastry I've ever had. Loved all the free samples of preserves and pickles.”

“We had heard good things so my friends and I came in for dinner. It’s a popular spot. Dinner was busy and I can understand why. I had the chicken karaage and got to try a broth less ramen dish. Both were super good. I would recommend giving them a try.”

“This last weekend was our first time. What a wonderful, clean environment. Friendly staff, and both my husband and I feel some of the best Chinese food we have ever had! The General Tao’s chicken and it was so tender and incredible! I highly recommend this place, and we plan on making a trip to the gorge more often to enjoy it. Another positive, they have parking!”

“Hood River is in general very overpriced. This is my spot in town when I’m there. Quality for a normal cost. Note, there’s nowhere inside to eat. I’ve only had the Veggie Burrito- but that’s good.”

“This spot is so super cool! Danielle is one of the most genuinely kind business owners I've met, and as soon as you walk in you'll feel welcome. The wines she chooses to feature are delicious, and accessibly priced. Stop by when you're in town. :)”

“Today, we drove down taco alley of Hood River to try 4 different taco trucks. We were blown away by the tacos here. The fish taco, birria taco, and quesabirria were really phenomenal. Highly recommend!

Parking: Plenty of parking everywhere”

“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!!!”

“Great service, great coffee, and served with a beautiful smile”

“Super cute little place with good beer and nice folks. Might be somebody’s basement? But the vibes are solid and the back garden is really nice. Definitely worth a stop”

“always awesome and very affordable. and the young teenagers working as busy as they were are very engaging and polite. asking what we are up to today, seeing how our day is going. always such a good experience :-)”

“My husband and I always stop here when in town. Im vegan and my favorite is the breakfast bowl with salsa verde. Hands down in my top three favorite places to eat. The service is always outstanding! Thanks so much!”

“I was charged more than I was told when I gave the barista my card. I tipped cash so I don’t believe the additional charge came from a tip.
My beverage was excellent and the service was fine other than that.
I was very impressed with the baristas walking out to the cars waiting in line to take their orders and ring them up right there in order to speed the process along.

Edit 8/23/24:
The Dutch Bros customer service team reimbursed me in the form of two free drinks and said they’d pass on my feedback to their management team. I’ll amend my review to four stars!”

“Stopped in today on our way to Mt Hood. absolutely great food. service was impeccable. I was so excited to have the Burger, but everything looked amazing. plus they even had some Mt.Valley water (I'm an Arkansas guy so it was like being at home.) good job.”

“Great pizza. I had the lunch special 2 pizza slices, a drink and a cookie. The cookie was a bit stale, and the service was average.

I asked the server what was on the pizzas and sat listening to a very, very slow drawn out list. Labels would be great!

I finally took a chance and just pointed at two.”

“I have been waiting for Indian food to come to Hood River for a long time, and Kirpa’s does not disappoint! I ordered take out online which was easy and convenient. The food was ready quickly, and friendly staff helped me with a question about my order. Most importantly to me, the food was absolutely amazing! I will be back soon to dine in and try more dishes.”

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

“My family found the perfect way to beat the heat today after visiting the local farmers market. Handshaken lemonade in strawberry, mango, and blackberry. All where perfect and we can not wait to try some of your other items real soon.”

“The perfect coffee shop! The barista is super friendly and helpful! The hand-crafted drinks taste like they are made with care, not just churned out of an assembly line. The breakfast burritos are fresh and delicious. The outdoor seating is lovely, but if you are in a hurry, it's easy to get in and out fast. Prices are very reasonable. Great place!”

“Wanted to eat local and not in a restaurant, looked on Google and read the reviews for this food truck. Quality ingredients, made with love and so, so delicious. Yay!

Vegetarian options: I ordered veggie burrito. Large flour tortilla, filled to the brim and direct off grill stayed temperature hot for ride to nearby hotel. I asked for minimal jalapenos. So flavorful and filling. Came with sample size salsa.”

“We visited 5/31/24. The wonderful human behind the bar was friendly, knowledgeable,polite and seemed to enjoy her job.
We enjoyed 2 different rose” wines, and took in the lovely sunny day.
If we were lucky enough to live here, it would be our “ spot “. Planning a return visit today.
Thank you!”

“I love that they have an impossible burger option! It is so, so good! I wish they had vegan cheese but honestly it's still great without it. They also have the best crispy tater tots. We love coming here when we visit Hood River!”

“This spot is the roastery of Hood River Coffee Roasters, as well as a place where peripheral products and coffee beans are sold. Honma Coffee Roastery has been here for a long time and is considered a time-honored brand. Its sales points are also in the Gorge area, and it has only recently begun to sell to the Portland area.There are so many choices, especially the single-origin beans section. It’s a pity that there is no coffee bar where you can drink and watch beans while choosing what to buy, so I bought their signature Columbia Ribver Blend beans first. The description says medium to dark roast, but it tastes like a full dark roast. When the beans were purchased, they were still very oily on the surface and had a fishy smell. However, the fishy smell did not come out after brewing. It's a dark roasted coffee that I like. Although it is quite bitter, it does not have any sharp and prominent flavor.If you buy it here, not only will the beans be very fresh, but the price of 16oz is the same as the price of 12oz outside. It can be regarded as a discount on the on-site price.”

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

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

“Best Cheeseburger in the Gorge, or ....Portland as a matter of fact!”

“Egg River Cafe ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ On 5/18/22, I had breakfast at Egg River Cafe in Hood River, Oregon. They serve breakfast and lunch. It is my favorite Hood River spot for breakfast. I think it’s much better than Bette’s Place, which is another local favorite. In addition to having great Eggs Benedict ($13.95), I appreciated that they gave me cream for my coffee ($3.50) at no extra charge. And the service is always excellent. My server, Laura, was very warm and friendly. So was the nice young woman who accommodated my request for a booth with a window. I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant, the food, and the people who work there. Highly Recommended!!!”

“I have been here 4 times now and it's ok the beans are good the meats are ok they are better then the other food trucks out in the area so go here for sure but don't expect it to be life changing”

“What an amazing wrap!! It was huge and absolutely delicious. Can’t wait to go back.”

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

“Cute little tacos, truck on the side of the road with the most beautiful hilltop views you’ve ever seen. The staff was super friendly and this is the best El Paso burrito I’ve ever had. If I live closer, I’d come here every day.”

“Ivory was tending the bar when I waltzed in and offered some insightful suggestions for what to drink and where to eat. Along with some engaged conversation she made the Common House a worthwhile stop. Stop in for some worthwhile beer and wine options. The regulars seemed willing to engage with newbies as well.”

“deliciious turkey,amazing coffee”

“Great little drive thru coffee place with a friendly owner!”

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

“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.”

“Workers seemed nice, but they were so focused on their work I felt a little out of place. Tried to make small talk but their responses were quite cold. Would be 5 stars if the atmosphere was better. Coffee was fantastic though

Kid-friendliness: So kid friendly! Other than the accent wall with the naked ladies ?”

“Paula made our wedding cake and it was better than what we could have asked for. Her cakes are delicious and the flavors are so wonderful. We had so many compliments on it, and many of our guests are normally not cake people. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. She has so many wonderful designs to choose from and will ensure your cake is everything you want.”

“I tried the Cuban torta and it was really good. Pretty big size too. Not greasy at all like one I tried elsewhere. I've tried many tortas and it was definitely one of the best.”

“Everything on the menu is Awesome!”

“Great environment, open and spacious, with wonderful natural light! Everything’s delicious!”

“Nice environment, good service and prices. Food was very good.”

“Wonderful unique drinks. Best nachos ever!!!!! The staff were so nice!!!”

“Great service and food. However, I left two silver rings in the ladies room yesterday. If anyone finds them, please contact me. They are not worth much money, but they were gifts. ?”

“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”

“If you want a country bar with a wheelbarrow of peanuts and 3 dollar well shots, this is your stop. Karaoke is more oldies and country, but still fun to put your best performance and make some friends.”

“So good!! Chris the owner is a wonderful lady! Highly recommend! :)”

“As a comedian, you can imagine my hectic schedule trying to balance everything but going here I was at this location in HOOD RIVER around lunchtime and people were amazing. in This situation. It was just the boss there but he took on the customers like professional very courteous and I highly recommend this place. and as always, the food was prepared perfectly and I can expect deliciousness of the pizza too. Keep my mouth very happy and I need a happy mouth because without a happy mouth I don’t have a funny gig seriousness the courtesy that he exemplified with my visit was just beyond anything that I could ever explain, this has been an exaggeration of the real life situation but that’s how happy I was going here. I do highly recommend this place. You can be assured that you’re gonna have clean environment and you’re gonna have top-notch customer service that’s it Papa Murphy pizza in HOOD RIVER right next to Walgreens pharmacy

Dietary restrictions: you can tell them and they’ll recommend what would help you out on the top means they have a large variety of toppings and then they also have a delicious Caesar salad mix that should please everybody”

“Salsa was amazing. Flautas were the best I have had in Hood River so far.The inside is not remodeled, very aged, but we did not mind. It gave a "hole in the wall" vibe.The waiter was an older, friendly gentleman.I would go back again.”

“Love this place .. the fruit is always ripe and delicious and they have something for everyone”

“Fabulous, Home-cooked Mexican food. Our waitress was the nicest, most friendly, accommodating ever! We 3 older ladies, visiting HR …our hometown through high school… HIGHLY RECOMMEND.”

“I love their food! Their food is very familiar to me as it's the aromas and same style of cooking as my madres. Everything they make is delicious! I love when they have enchildas on their menu as it's spot on to what my mom makes! You cannot go wrong with anything on their menu! Very friendly and kind staff. Come support them!”

“Food was amazing! Best burger I've had in a long time. Sushi was the bomb!! Staff is awesome with fast service”

“El menudo de lo mejor, muy amables y un ambiente cómodo y amigable”

“Greatest bar in Hood River. One of the bartenders, CK, even let's me know on a regular basis when I have a booger in my nose so I can pick it out and not be embarrassed. They are amazing and the atmosphere is pure delight.”

“If your looking for an amazing Philly Cheesesteak this is the place to go!! Super friendly too!! Thanks for a great experience! ❤️”

“Awesome owners! Awesome environment, love this place and all the choices of cider and beer!”

“Excellent quality coffee, fantastic location across from the park”

“Food is consistent and cooked to order. A special shout out of appreciation to Tilly Jane’s as they will often get young teens in to grab a bite after school/before a game. The entire staff has always been gracious to the kids. Thank you for being welcoming to all ages (and for having a menu that even picky teens love).”

“4 stars because the wine was delicious and the grounds are absolutely beautiful. What I didn’t appreciate was being made to feel unwelcome. I work in hospitality, so it was quite shocking (when we walked in at 4:10 and they close at 5pm) to zero greeting, yet they were quick to say “just so you know, last pour is at 4:30” Ok fine, I understand this. How about, engage with your guests and provide hospitality instead.

We ended up purchasing 2 glasses of wine and a bottle. At 4:50, a very rude woman came out to the patio reminding us that they are closing. She also reminded us that they would need to take our glasses. I was with my mom….we weren’t going to steal the glasses. Then she asked me twice if I paid my tab…when I said yes. No goodbye, or no thank you. Work on this….quite unfortunate.”

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

“Great food in a hole in the wall bar. The server was too pre occupied talking with co -worker so was not that attentive. Loved the Wild Things mural on the wall.”

“Dogs are allowed outside as long as they are not assholes.
Top tier food, amazingly friendly service. If it's ever slow, it's because they are short staffed.
Family owned.
THE. BEST. IN. TOWN.

Kid-friendliness: Kids friendly unless they are little assholes

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes. Narrow approach and lipped entrance.”

“The. Best pizza our waitress was the best. Courteous staff.”

“I do like the desserts but I ordered a chicken strip basket tonight and it came with honey mustard and no gravy. We called DQ Hood River to inquire why there was no gravy included with our two 6 piece chicken strip baskets. The female who answered didn’t identify herself but said gravy is optional effective recently. If gravy was optional why was honey mustard dipping sauce stuck in my meal and BBQ in other one? If this change to chicken strip baskets just started, why weren’t we notified of this change when we ordered the two chicken strip baskets in drive thru. Our meal came to $35.60 which seems very expensive to just stick in 1 dipping sauce for 6 pieces of chicken and no ketchup for fries. Also, the toast in out meals was dry; no butter. I am just getting over being sick, and chose DQ since it sounded good. I am very disappointed and didn’t eat it.”
