“Looking for a fantastic burger in a "dive bar" atmosphere, this is the place! A local hang out with a great vibe. Couldn't have asked for better service from Diane. Personable and very responsive. We were looking for a good burger that was hand crafted...this far exceeded our expectations!“

“This is a old school hidden gem. Proudly family run and lots of great influences from the beer list to the food on the menu to the portions. From the ample pour of rose and my lovely large Polish beer we knew we were in for something fun. We both had steak specials, with sides, the salads were fresh and tasty. The platters came out with our steaks cooked perfectly, great loaded potatoes and the steamed veggies were real veggies not heated up frozen veggies. The steaks were delicious. Good meat, seasoned just enough and cooked well. Everything came out hot and we dug in. We were offered sauces and things but honestly it didn't need anything.The wine list was about what you would expect for a small place, but there was a nice representation of smaller local producers considering the list was maybe 8-10 wines total.They had a full bar as well, we saw a table order cocktails, again good pours, and the lady's lobster tail looked incredible.This was such a fun night we will be back again and soon!“

“You usually don’t go into a brewery in an emotional crying state. We were on vacation Saturday and shortly before entering Pfriem I got some hard news to take in about my family. It was a lot to process and I decided I just needed to push on with the evening and try to process it later. Zach picked up on my emotions immediately, hard not to, but he treated my husband and I with so much empathy, and love honestly. He assisted us that evening, and really treated us with compassion. It was so touching to be cared for in the situation I was in and the place I was. Obviously incredible beer, but Zach is who I would hope would be our server in good times and bad. Thank you for your support during this difficult time. ❤️“

“We had 6 pizzas for our family Christmas. I have celiac, so 1 pizza was gluten-free. Lori assured me she was familiar with how to prepare my pizza. Well, the family loved the pizzas, and mine was fantastic, and I did not have any reaction. Thank you, Saw Tooth Roadhouse, for making a perfect meal for a perfect day.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free“

“I stayed at the Hot Springs for my birthday and came in to use the coupons given when I checked in, and I am so glad I did!! The food was amazing (shout out to the cook from Minneapolis, you know your stuff!), and the bartender Rachel was kind, made very tasty drinks, and even helped me narrow down what route to take for my birthday hike. I couldn't have asked for more, and will definitely be back next time I'm in the area!!!“

“Delicious selection of breakfast. From the different types of french toast, chorizo skillet, any breakfast, really. We drive from Portland whenever family visits just to go for breakfast! Word of caution, it's a very busy place but worth it!???“

“I am a traveling CNA. That being said I have been to lots of places! But this cute little restaurant is to die for! I had the best experience every time here! The owners are so down to earth and lovely people! Very helpful with questions in the area! My favorite dish here is the burrito bowl! So good the food here is on point! If your ever in town tell the owners Kyle and Tiffany sent ya! You won’t regret it! I rate this place over all a 10/10. We will definitely be back when we are in the area!“

“Met a friend there for lunch at 11:30 on a Tuesday and we were the only ones there. By the time we left the dining room was full. My friend had trout and I kept it simple with a hamburger with very crispy, delicious fries. The view of the Columbia River was enhanced by a rainbow.“

“The people are friendly you can smoke they had I mean they have a back area where you can smoke if you smoke and you can take your drinks back it's outside but it's right there in the bar actually kind of inside outside I would rather go there than just about anywhere else just kick back but it can't get rocking at times and you got lottery good food lots of liquor that I don't drink anymore. Thank goodness everyone have a good day talk to you later soon John“

“Tilly Jane’s is not just your typical sports bar. When the old Sharis building was renovated into a new sports bar, I was curious what to expect. With over a dozen TVs, which can each be changed independently to show MY GAME, coupled with a knock out menu, this place has quickly become my new favorite for game day….but also every other day in between. Their breakfast is off the charts and they have a rotating weekly special dinner menu that challenges any of the other alternatives for cuisine in town.If you haven’t given this place a shot. You’re missing the target, if the target is good times, good food, and good people.“

“Drove about an hour to check this place out, heard good things and good BBQ isn't easy to find. I'm glad to say that this was definitely worth the trip. The brisket sandwich was absolutely fantastic, the person running the truck was very friendly, and it was an all around pleasant experience. Will visit again.“

“If you're in Hood River and looking for a good place to grab Happy Hour or just to get a good dinner and some drinks then check Divots out. Being in the Portland area and always looking for some good Haopy Hour menus I have seen many good and not so good ones and Divots has a GOOD ONE! Good food options and prices are a decent value. Reference the two menu pics I added in December 2023 on their photos here. I had the burger and it really hit the spot. Good selection of beer, wine and cocktails too.“

“The smoked salmon sliders are very delicious! A nice light lunch with a glass of their moscato was just perfect. The sliders had a spice to them & the moscato was not too sweet. The lounge and dining space are serene, beautifully decorated with timeless art and music, and offer wonderful views of nature and the river. I would recommend lunch here!“
