McMenamins The Woodshop

The ambience is wonderful, the staff is friendly and helpful, the food was good…but our 4-person group had to wait over 30 minutes to get our food!

This resulted in one of my friend’s food arriving cold. She rarely complains, but this time she did because her omelette was cold. Thankfully, they prepared a new omelette for her.

Campfire delight and so many draft beers to choose from.

Food was great. The beer varieties are awesome too. That said, the service could have been better. Service was at times slow and the server was at times inattentive to us or maybe too rushed.

Went their for 2 big life anniversaries for my girlfriend and I and invited some friends. We arrived at 5pm and were told the wait would be 20 minutes. They got us seated in less than 20 minutes and then the ungodly wait started. After about 20 minutes nobody had come to greet our table so I went to the bar and got us water and asked for some service. Nothing for another 10 minutes so I went back to talk to someone at the bar. The gentleman came right over and took our drink and food order. We then proceeded to wait another 30 minutes for drinks so by this point it had been an hour. We even watched as other tables that arrived after us get served drinks, food, and left. We were coming to the point where we needed to go to make a reservation at another location so we asked for the check and to find out about the food. This is when we found out that the appetizers were given to the table next to us and the entrees hadn't even been made. We asked for all the food to go. Our friends had to wait another 20 minutes to get the food while my girlfriend and I went to make our other reservation. It took this establishment over 90 minutes to bring food out with no apologies or attempt to compensate for the horrible service. Our friends managed to coax the manager in to comping our appetizers but that was it. Overall this was the worst restaurant experience I've ever had. None of us are ever going back.

The test with McMenamins for first timers is to find your car when leaving. If you can't, then you've had too much to drink. 😜 There are so many fun choices to drink and dine.

We came here late afternoon for an early dinner and drinks. It wasn’t too busy but was starting to pick up by the time we left. We had a nice time, and it has a nice ambience. We each had a burger with Cajun tots, and they were both delicious. It’s a very spacious place with pool tables and other games. We’ve been here on other occasions, and it gets busy at night, but it was nice to be there when it wasn’t too crowded, but it’s also nice that it gets busy and has a fun atmosphere

If you know about the McMenamins franchise then you know what this place is about. This delivered on my expectations of really cool atmosphere and a “fun” place to be. Eclectic, old world, and pub vibes here. Food is by no means bad but it’s not the reason you show up. Service on my recent visit was friendly. They didn’t have enough staff working so it was a bit slow but the server/ bartender made up for it with friendly banter.

Great atmosphere! I was displeased with the drinks; it was insanely expensive and not made correctly.

Stopped by wanting to take advantage of their Happy Hour. I got the mini corn dogs. They were delicious! A large amount for the money. Happy hour beers and then I get a cheese burger. This burger was as good as any I've ever had. The patty was perfectly seasoned. The bun was excellent. My date had a seasonal salad. They substituted roasted turkey instead of the chicken. The salad needed an extra side of sauce. Their servers were polite and friendly but very slow. It took a while to flag someone down to pay our check. It took a while to get our first beers. That's the only thing I can say about this part. They had many sports screens up and going.
