“We had a lovely dinner with great service, but would love to see more commitment to supporting Indigenous communities from this renowned restaurant. If you're going to take your name from a place that was destroyed by settlers and a people who were displaced, you should put your money where your mouth is and honor where your name comes from.“

“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!“

pFriem Family Brewers Brewery • $$
707 Portway Ave #101, Hood River

“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. ❤️“

“On a whim, I made reservations to enjoy Votum's tasting menu to celebrate my husband's birthday. We were really blown away by the level of service, the attention to detail, and the clear passion they have for fine dining and food artistry. It's definitely a special occasion kind of place, but they REALLY did make the occasion feel special - complete with customized printed menus, delicious and creative food, and Michelin star-level service and presentation. We left with full bellies and smiles on our faces! Thank you for a lovely evening. We'd gladly come back for another special occasion in the future.“

We called ahead and ordered the Salmon Bagel, Huevos Rancheros, and Huevos con Tortillas for take out on the drive. Everything was fresh and delicious! My 8yo daughter says this is the best Huevos Rancheros and side of fruit she's had in her life and insisted I leave a review. :) We're all feeling great and ready to take on the rest of this road trip. Might have to make this our regular stop for breakfast on this these trips in the future.“

“Full Sail is my favorite brew pub in Hood River. They have fantastic beer and fantastic food. My favorite beer is the Cervesa, a Mexican lager served with a lime.This place also has my favorite version of fried pickles, served with a chipotle mayo. We also ate the Salmon Fish and Chips, where the fish was cooked perfectly.The restaurant can get really busy, especially on the weekends. I recommend getting on the Yelp waitlist. Or you can go inside to get on the waitlist and depending on the wait, spend some time exploring downtown Hood River.Can’t wait to come back!Parking: There is a paid parking lot across the street, but during certain times and days it’s free. There is also street parking.“

“Camp is the only true cocktail bar in Hood River. They pretty much make everything in house aside from the maraschino cherries. They have a small distillery on site and the staff has been the same for the last couple of years, which is always challenging to do in the food and beverage industry and a testament to ownership and management.The David Bowie and Aztec Ruins are personal favorites... as are the nachos and grilled cheese w/ tomato soup. If you can make it for happy hour, which runs until 6 PM (a true rarity these days) you'll find most of the crowd favorite drinks and some of the best food items on the menu... and, they are not pared down nor skimped on.Always fun to sit at the bar and watch some really beautiful drinks be made. Bottom line: really like the product, staff and location can't be beat. Kudos.“

I got the edamame & Kobe roll. It was delish! Perfect size bites & favorful & they didn't skimp on the sauce or the size of the fish on top. My friend got the maki roll & previously mentioned fries. She thoroughly enjoyed hers as well. Incredibly attentive service & all of the employees were kind & friendly. I would definitely go back (I saw some burgers & poke bowls being brought to other tables that looked amazing as well).“

“The facilities have a somewhat run down look although this seems to be the vibe they are going for. Kind of that hole in the wall with great food feel. Everything was clean and kept up though. The food, appropriately enough, was quite good. My burger (their Trillium burger), cooked just right (medium) as requested was excellent. Juicy patty, soft bun, crisp bacon, and fresh fixings. Tater tots were crispy and well seasoned. They were somewhat busy for a late Sunday morning but service was still prompt and friendly. I intend on coming back when a craving for a good burger strikes.“

We shared a giant pretzel that was delicious, served with wasabi mustard and a whipped brown butter.Sometimes they have a window open where you can order drinks. This time around, the window was closed and we needed to head inside to order. If you do not sit inside and choose your own seat, you will need to order at the counter. You will also need to bus your own tables.Can’t wait to go back!Parking: Parking can get a little hairy, especially on nice sunny days“

I love that if I want to call and place a takeout order, they actually answer the phone. And, my takeout orders are always exactly what I ordered. A side note, this was the last takeout place we ordered for my brother before he passed away from cancer recently. He loved their clam chowder as much as I do! So I will always order clam chowder because it is so good! Their fries are awesome too! Their burgers are very tasty too! Come support them!“

“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.“

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.“
