One of the two best places in Washougal to eat. (The other directly across the street with a different fare.) This is kind of a general review for Alex's; hopefully to encourage people to help keep our community's very best places afloat during this terribly challenging time. Alex's is great on so many levels. I've had nothing but excellent food there...and try to branch out in my selections as I have a habit of ordering the same delicious thing over and over. The atmosphere is laid back, one feels like he or she is "coming home" upon entering and the beer...a large range of changing micros...all just fabulous! So this evening I'll be ordering pick-up (easy roll up to the curb outside). Ok, Ok, it WILL be the ribs again, but maybe I'll change up the sides.

Great food and terrific staff.

Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Alex's food and the Farmhouse Ales are top-notch! Best restaurant on Main Street!

One of the best BBQ ribs & brisket I've ever experienced! Even the side dishes were delicious and full of flavor. Fall of the bone tender and delicious. We will be back!

I really wanted to like this place as it's the closest to my house but the brisket was dried out, tasteless and totally debit of any smoke flavor. On top of the meat likely to try and add some flavor was an odd tasting gravy that was nothing like bbq sauce although I can not say what the sauce actually tasted of. I was asked part way through if everything was good and I responded fine, on the drive home I realised I should of said it was disappointing. The coleslaw was ok and the veggies under seasoned. The bread roll was ok but seemed like it was just store bought.

Fantastic beef brisket, both as a sandwich and in platter form. The coleslaw was simple but delicious and the apple crisp was a nice way to end the evening.I'm told the beer is fantastic, though I did not imbibe myself.

The BarBQue brisket was amazing. The beef stuff is the best. When paired with the Logsdon brews... wow.

The best bar food I've had so far. Not the typical fried food and cardboard pizza. A great place to meet with friends. It was spacious and has plenty of parking. What made me wanting to go back was the vegetarian options on the menu. I enjoyed the chili and shrimp ceviche. My husband enjoyed his beer and chicken wings. The place was moderately busy but food came out in a reasonable amount of time. The staff were busy but accommodating and helpful. We will definitely not mind driving from Vancouver to here to enjoy their beer and food. Go try this place out it will not disappoint!
Stopped in for a bite to eat at lunchtime, light crowd good service. Awesome pulled pork sandwich. Easy to park close - I would stop there if you have hankering for good smokehouse food.

Wow I've not had good BBQ brisket since I left Texas. No knife needed! We also had the special which was a carnitas bowl which had some great southern flavors not the bland PNW Hispanic food you find normally. The food here is really great!The bar staff was very personable and a total Joy. Loved the music selection. Can't wait to go back.The affiliated brewery does farm ales and sours which aren't really my style but they also have a few lagers and a tasty stout. Would be nice to have some other dark beers to complement the BBQ better.

Stopped in here on a whim a couple of days ago on the way home from a bike ride, ended up going back the next day after a hike because it was so good. You can tell Alex actually gives a s*** about the food he's serving as it's above average and quite good. Pair that with the logsden beers and this place is a hit!
