“My wife and I had a wonderful dinner. She ordered the chicken strips and I had the steak. Both were properly cooked and appealing. Staff was friendly starting with the greeting as we came in. It was a weekday so it was rather empty and peaceful at the time. Background music was pleasant. We learned about then from their sponsorship of Outlaw Country music radio. Our only suggestion may be adding more decorations to give it a more distinctive character. (She made me add this. :-) ) We look forward to coming back again.“

“Good food, excellent, friendly service.“

“This place gives you a TON of food. Some reviews say they don't give you enough, which is absolutely absurd! One entree is enough for two people easily.

The staff is incredibly nice, and the food is good and comes out very fast. We ordered takeout for 4 the other day and paid $35, which is insanely cheap in 2024. I recommend ignoring the overly negative reviews, I think those people must just be generally unhappy about life.“

“The service is excellent, the food is delicious and the place is cozy and familiar. Everything is clean. ☺️👍🏻. 🥪🍳🥘🥗“

“Excellent food, great atmosphere, wonderful service.“

“Walked by this place a bunch of times and can’t believe I didn’t know about this gem of a place. The country fried steak was phenomenal. Seasoned and crispy, and was served on top of the gravy! First time I’ve seen that. The real winner was the home fries. Made me feel like I was back in my hometown diners in CT. So wonderful. Our server was the nicest lady, I’ll absolutely be back.“

“I love this place, everyone is so nice to me.“

“Best burger 🍔 ever. Amazing“

“wonderful dj , perfect bartenders, lovely customers. comfortable perfect place to meet fantastic new people“

“Nice enough place... Almost like a bar you can bring your kids to? Not a lot of places to get a hot dog and they have a full menu of big Costco sized dogs for a not unreasonable amount of money. I had the burger on Texas toast and it came with fries for $13, however some of the hot dogs were $12-13 which is good if they came with fries but they don't, they come with chips, fries are 4 more dollars and are grocery store variety crinkle cuts... Not sure why the burger is cheaper than a hot dog... The burger was pretty good. My family seemed to enjoy their hot dogs. We had a couple beers that were good but not cheap by any means. It's not overpriced but the place has kind of a bargain feel, I think I would have liked it more it was like a "wow that was cheap experience". If you're gonna charge $12-13 for a hot dog include fries or maybe a 2 dollar upcharge 4 bucks is too much for a hand full of crinkle cuts. Lottery cheapens the place a bit and makes it feel more like a bar than it should. It's not a bad place.

Kid-friendliness: Kids allowed and there are some arcade games.“

“Good for vegans. Healthy whole foods from a fast food place is hard to find. Price is on the higher side but worth it. Southwest bowl w/tofu is my rec. They should use more tofu but its still very filling & hard to finish a bowl.

tip: ask for sauce on the side - it's very good but they use too much and it soaks the rice at the bottom of the bowl. Get it on the side = problem solved.“

“Best burgers, best garlic tots, best service, best owner‼️♥️‼️ It was my first time in thanks to my son and I’m very impressed and definitely coming back❣️💪🏼❣️“

“McCraes I hands down my favorite restraunt. Excellent food and friendly staff. Fast service, but not rushed.“

“love the food and being able to sit outside watching the golfers is great..especially when the deer run through the course..service is wonderful“

“The BEST Country Pride out there. Amazing employee Heather (Server). Extremely polite and helpful, efficient at work. I ordered Buffalo Mac and Cheese, and it came out perfect! Keep up the good work, there's not a lot of places that care as much as this place does! ?“

“Great food and service! We had the fish and chips, the calamari, the steamed clams, the clam chowder, and bumpers bread and eggs benedict breakfast meal and every single one of our orders were delicious

Kid-friendliness: There's colorful fish that kids can watch

Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is ADA-compliant“

“First time here at Bandits bar and grill, I have heard good things about this place from friends that live in the area and have stopped here when driving I84. First impression is cute bar/restaurant, the bartender/waitress was so welcoming and attentive. Ordered a beer and she advised the special of the day. I ordered a cup of the tri tip chili and the grilled chicken sandwich. The chili is really good! I'd defiantly order this again! The grilled chicken sandwich was good, the bun was perfect! The bar has a large outdoor area with tables set up to sit outside, perfect for evening time when the sun goes down but during the day and the sun is out each table has an umbrella. Over hearing others in the bar, they were loving the food. I will say the food is coming out fast. The only negative comment is AC seemed to maybe not working to blow cooler air but still was comfy. I looked at the Facebook page for bar and I can see why people have a good time here from the pictures post on the page. I will defiantly come back!!“

“Saturday night Karaoke is fun. Staff is attentive and super friendly 🥰.“

“They do specials all the time! Yum! That cocktail they call "tea" is strong, but taste so good! The clam chowder on Fridays are the best!“

“Had the Burrito Vegano with a side of refried black beans. Thought the burrito was excellent (preferred it over the one I had at scratch breakfast the day before). It was good size, could have been shareable or two meals. The side of black beans was good, but way too small for $4. Friendly service.“

“Had a yummy Bloody Mary and a tasty Reuben Sandwich. I’ll be back“

“Been coming here for a couple of years. Nice staff and Lacey does an outstanding job with her menu specials. Laid back atmosphere and great off-street parking.“

“Nothing wrong with how the food tasted it was amazing, the bacon cheese burger I ordered and the mozzarella sticks, tasted fantastic! The service was good but the lady serving us didn't talk too much no big deal. The reasoning for 4 stars is after I ate here for whatever reason I got food poisoning three days after eating my meal here, was pooping liquid all of those days and had horrible stomach pains not sure what happened but maybe something wasn't cooked all the way or cross contamination with raw meat? Not sure, but I wouldn't say don't go here this is more so for the workers to see to be aware like I said my burger tasted amazing.“

“We enjoyed the Lewitt Hefeweizen and a salad with grilled chicken. Had a couple pretzels with beer cheese for appetizer. The atmosphere was quiet. Servers were friendly. Price was right.“

“We love Gresham My Bar! Food is usually pretty good but the best part is Ross the bartender! He’s like a good buddy! Very attentive, quick service, remembers our names…. The best!!“

“We were treated so good. We keep coming back for thanksgiving breakfast every year“

“The food is fantastic & the staff are just marvelous and the bonus is being able to bet on the horses & dogs. It’s our favorite place . I would recommend this place to everyone“

“Mothers day is the busiest day of the year. Several food items sold out and staffing seemed low, but service did the best they could with a smile on their face. Gardens are beautiful and the activities like garden, plant sale, bee keeping classes and free live music both outside and in the winery was all a nice touch. The lagoon type soaking pool and spa treatments are amazing. Oh, and dog friendly grounds too!!“

“Had the best time at their Halloween party last night. The band FooVana was so fun and great crowd! Food was decent and I’ve had better there in the past. Pizza’s are great here.“

“Love this place, food is great“

“Amazing. My husband and I went there for dinner to celebrate our anniversary recently and the food and cocktails were amazing! It was nice not having to drive to Portland for fine dining! I had the lobster dish and husband had the beef Wellington. Highly recommend!“

“The food is OK, even though the beer is great! We ordered the fish and chips and the Aztec salad with fried chicken.

The fish and chips were good, although the portion size for the price was a bit disappointing. The remoulade was great though! The chicken on the salad was done really well, but the salad was kind of meh. Definitely not something that keeps a person coming back. Plus, the prices are high in comparison to other places with more interesting menus. It might be time for McMenamins to freshen up their food offerings.

The atmosphere is typical McMenamins, lots of vintage kitsch. It's cool and I love that they bring new life to old buildings and institutions (literally in this case). Service here was fine.“

“The best thing you ever did was getting rid of the server named Trina. Trashiest, rudest, most horrible person ever.“

“Love the food and always my first choice for hash browns. 😍“

“New menu with remarkable additions to a superb lineup. Exceptional happy hour! Always sensational and remarkably attentive service from the charming, magnetic, and personable bar staff.“

“Very comforatable and relaxing with a kool and quite place to here your self think and have a beverage without that loud annoying drunk that never shuts down which has forced me to take my business else where alot of the time..bartenders seam to always have the time for you as well....amagine that“

“great staff good food good vibes! If you like live music and dancing this is the venue to be at Thursday thru Friday for 80's to the newest rock and Sundays for the 50 + crowd. great local bands Lip Bomb Andy Madsen PDX Transit Authority and more.“

“the long burger was the bomb--this was in the 60's--don't know if same owners ? he had sons. i often think of those burgers“

“Very very tasty and just happened to be right around the corner from the jobsite“

“Elevator Coffee in NE Portland was recently named the best coffee in the United States. Never tried it, so I ordered a couple bags of beans and had them shipped to my place. Got a bag of Counterweight Blend and a bag of Lift Blend. Delicious“

“Food is always good. It’s great for a mellow lunch. Evenings are great for the younger crowd. They have pool tables and shuffleboard. It’s separate from an area you can sit and chat and eat in. Drinks are good. No live music or karaoke that I’ve seen but I’m not there all the time either.“

“You want a cool experience? This is the place! You have happening bars, winery, distillery, pool hall and niche spaces for every taste. Great food, service and really helpful and friendly staff. The rooms are unique. No phone or TV but really that not why you come here. The artwork is very Oregon. If you are really lucky there is live concerts and music on weekends. Don’t forget to visit the soaking tub! Within easy reach of Portland, Portland airport and area sightseeing.“

“Love the pork bowl teriyaki! It’s so delicious I forgot to take a picture. Lots of meat and the sauce is perfect. If you need extra sauce they got you covered. Always such a treat when we get to eat here. I ve also tried the chicken teriyaki and spicy chicken, but my favorite is certainly the pork. Definitely recommend. Also keep in mind all locations are the same. This location has not disappointed me or my family.

Parking: Lots of space

“This place checks all the boxes!!Moving to the Gorge in the spring and I'm pretty sure this place is gonna be my new bar.Sweet pool tables, for the dwindling population who still care about such things.Food was great and the lady who prepared it was super nice and actually cared. Came out to our table and asked us how we wanted things and later to ask if everything was good. It was. Bartender was friendly and on it as well. Definitely coming back when I'm in town.Great job folks!!! Keep up the great work and thank you for all you do!!!“

“I have been visiting Jackpot Bistro since it was Grampys and watched it turn from a deli to an amazing bistro. All the food is good and made to order and if you like fry sauce their's is the best! If you like to gamble there are about 6 different slot machines with plenty of room to gamble with a date, friend or family. Good luck!

“Able to mix and match from the vegan menu. Great options. Tasty just egg scramble. Yummy sausage and really good French toast. Refried beans and hash browns are vegan too! Expensive but large enough to split . Updated from previous review on 2025-04-12“
