“"The best ever." My boyfriend and I loved visiting this tavern so much that we went back repeatedly throughout our stay in town. The employees are very fun, pleasant, and welcoming and the food and drinks are awesome. The atmosphere was great and they have trivia, karaoke, games, popular sports on TVs, and it is obviously a popular local hangout. We highly recommend this tavern and will make it a tradition to return throughout the year when we are visiting in the area.”

“Such a cool mountain coffee stand - the perfect stop heading to the gorge for a hike. We stopped in after a night of camping outside Carson, what a treat and peaceful return to civilization and creature comforts. Very full menu with drinks and food options - everything we tried was delicious. The service was top notch too, coming from a very friendly lady. Coffees came with a free chocolate espresso bean which is a nice little touch.”

“Do yourself a favor and stop here. Delicious, well made coffee and great simple breakfast options. I tried the sausage and egg croissant and it was perfect. Friendly service and ideal location. Oh, and lots of sweet pastries and snacks too!Kid-friendliness: Great snacks for kids as well as indoor and outdoor seating.”
“Huge portions, great prices, tasty meats! They have tables and a tent up at the truck, but I take mine down to the waterfront park when the weather cooperates. Check their Facebook for the daily specials for the best deals.”

“My boyfriend and I got the green enchiladas and fish tacos after a big hike and they hit the spot. The food was awesome and the hot sauce was truly out of this world, it was spicy but soooo good.”

“Hands down the best meal I've had in years!The special was a pork tamale. The sauce was different than any sauce I've had before and I asked my server about it. He proudly told me it is a house made sauce made daily from fresh tomatillos. It was so good I almost ordered a second meal to take home with me.One of our party ordered a huge pile of nachos that was intended as an appetizer. It was huge and piled high with all the lovely toppings. The guacamole looked and tasted fresh as well.We will be back!!Parking: Plenty of parking in the lot, and more parking available on the street.Kid-friendliness: There's a bar in the establishment, but if you walk to the left upon entering there are many family friendly booths as well. Our party included children and was well received.”

“Great baristas and well-made coffee and baked goods. Open 7 days, really appreciated in this part of the Columbia Gorge where there are few coffee options. My favorite stop on the Washington side. No indoor seating, but a small covered outdoor area for two.”

“The food here is outstanding. Our server was outstanding. I know this is probably more of a local place than a tourist destination , but our families came here to get away from the Skamania Lodge restaurant and have a decent meal. And this place did not disappoint! The fish and chips were amazing with a very light but crunchy batter on the fish. We got more french fries than we could possibly eat. The onion rings were very very good and not overly oily. I have never had such robust jalapeno poppers in my life as they are covered in all kinds of cheese and meat. They could be a meal on their own. The burgers were good for the kids as they all gobbled them down. And the small flatbread pizzas are actually really good as they aren't too big and they taste great. If you are a fan of Bloody Maries, I highly suggest trying their Bloody Mary. It is a meal in itself. I don't believe I've seen so much stuff attached to a beverage in my life! And as much as I am not a fan of loud live music in a small venue, we were able to dodge the live band and have our meal before they started playing. Tip these folks well... They are worth it!”

“My wife wanted something cold for dinner. The Subway restaurant in Hood River was closed because of the hot weather. I drove across the Hood River toll bridge, paid Washington sales tax, and drove back across the Bridge of the Gods toll bridge to Cascade Locks.The staff and service were awesome. They had our sandwiches ready and waiting when I arrived. Thank-you for being there for your out of state neighbors!”

“The food here is amazing. The lemon pepper wings and smoked nachos are delicious. But you can't go wrong with the burgers and pizza either...some of the best in town! A little pricey, but there are definitely ways to eat here without spending an arm and a leg because of the variety. Did I mention the view of the Columbia River?! Breathtaking.”

“Very good service. Great setting with wonderful view on a beautiful day. Quality of roast beef at the carving station was mediocre (at best). Bottomless mimosas was nice touch as I never had to wait on glass to be refilled. Overall 4 stars but quality of a couple items could definitely be improved.”
“Thank You Backwoods Brewing Co!This IS the place to go year round for quality crafted beer, bbq and pizza.The atmosphere is down-to-earth and welcoming, especially after a day in the backwoods working up a thirst and appetite from waterfalls veiwing and trail hiking.Good times abound especially in summer, when the dog-friendly backyard of the Backwoods is open and entertaining with music to pair along with their assortment of brews and foods.There's also their Party Acres to consider when visiting. Curently being developed across from the brewery with cabins available.Overall, Backwoods has a really good thing going, growing from the ground up. Tended to by a local family who value and understand what it means to keep their small town home and community, small town, friendly, unpretentious, yet thriving.”

“We are blessed with a lot of great Mexican places here in the Gorge. I have been to several of them. This one is the best. This one is worth going out of your way for. Everything I've had has been so delicious. So perfectly cooked. So flavorful. And it's the small things, like the way the ingredients are so perfectly chopped in the perfect size and everything is distributed so perfectly so that every bite is as good as the last. And the fact that they put little chunks of mango in the shrimp burritos. Its things like this that put them over the top. And the churros, my God, the churros. And of course the people running the place are just so nice. I would eat here every day if I could. Plus they have a really nice little covered seating area with nice picnic tables and nice lighting, so you can come an eat here when it's raining. Again, this place is worth going out of your way for.”

“Excellent burgers, some of the best fries I've ever had as well as their soft serve ice cream will definitely keep me coming back to enjoy again. The drive up window attendant was a little rude but other than that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend stopping here if you're hungry and passing through... cheers to you guys!”

“Saw a sign at Carson Hot Springs, went to the Elk Ridge Restaurant to eat and celebrated my bday there. My friend brought a sparkler, for a decadent chocolate cake the restaurant brought out, thank you. Then my friend very loudly sung happy bday and people at the restaurant felt compelled to sing along. I was mortified, because I am shy, but that's what friends do to each other to create memorable experiences. Thanks to all who were there on 5/9/24. Oh and the food is on point.”

“This is your typical dive bar that has good food, stiff drinks. A local hangout. Try the fried chicken or the Bungalow Burger. Best and friendly bartender, opens only after 4:00pm.”
“I have been seeing their lunch specials on Facebook for quite some time. Today when I went to get the mail, I decided I’d sneak across the river and pick up lunch for everyone. Today’s special is Tina’s favorite sandwich. Tony and I are having the full Beacon Burger with onion rings.”

“My mother and I, love to eat here when we can. The biscuits and gravy are the best in town, the blta is amazing and both are really affordable. We don't know much about coffee, but the staff has always been great with recommendations and makes sure we get something that they are sure we'd like. Never had any problems.”

“Awesome spot to hit up after a hike in the Gorge. Incredible views of the Bridge of the Gods. Huge dining area and delicious food. Bit of a small menu, but they have everything you need, and the food is delicious (especially the pancakes). Can't wait to go back! ?”

“Where do I start? The beer was delicious! I had the Oneonta Falls Hazy and the Hole-In-The-Wall-Falls Juicy IPA. Both were excellent! Food-wise, there were two burgers and the fried chicken sandwich ordered at our table. I had the White Cheddar Bacon Jam burger and let me tell you, AMAZING! The fries were excellent as well. One last comment on the food. The lemonade is hand pressed and oh my was it delightful. Our server was super kind. I'm an hour away from here and can't wait to go back.”
“This is a beautiful brewpub in a lovely setting with indoor and outdoor seating. The view is magnificent, the beer is excellent and varied, and the food has something for everyone. The DIPA flavor was unbeatable! I recommend this five-star brewery with great enthusiasm.”

“Always has awesome food and great service. The only reason I only did 4 stars on service, they have a little window between breakfast and lunch where you cant get food.”

“Nice spot in town for dinner. We had the salmon Alfredo and salmon. Both were delicious and perfectly cooked. To top it off the dessert was amazing!! Had the blackberry cobbler a la mode. Zero complaints. Friendly stay and super clean restaurant. Made for a perfect dinner ?”
