Food selection was good and the kids menu was helpful. The service was fast and friendly and accurate. Nice large tables for our group of 7. read more

We stopped here for lunch passing through town. We were seated at a table outside with great views of the river. We split an Italiano sandwich with homemade kettle chips. The portions were HUGE so very glad we split a meal. The sandwich was hot with lots of meat and fresh toppings. Loved the kettle chips and the spicy coating. Service was great. Two servers were working the whole place, inside and out, and they were working their buns off to make sure people were getting what they needed when they needed it. No live music when we were there but it looked like a cool place to take in some live music. Good stop. read more

Very cool spot on the river in the Dalles! We happened upon it when we were looking for dinner one evening on the way to pick up our boys at the scouts camp. They got us seated quickly, everybody was very friendly and on a nice night, it was just perfect to sit outside! They have booked indoor seating, with the majority of the seating available outside. There was a bit of a breeze off of the hills, which I suspect is there a lot of times given the water. The food selection had was pretty solid. It was pretty classic Gastropub type food. Burgers, salads, steaks, a very nice Parmesan crusted chicken, and some pretty solid appetizers. My better half had the bacon cheeseburger, and I had the Parmesan crusted chicken, while our little Dude was feeling less adventurous and had him some butter noodles. The winner of the night however were the cheese curds! We've eaten A LOT of cheese curds and these were truly unique. It looked more like fried chicken breading and it was DELICIOUS! Definitely something you should try. Despite being swamped due to the live music outside, things came out relatively quickly. All in all, a solid stop on the river! read more

Decent bar food, great beer selection, great outdoor area (can be really windy though), and decent service. I had the happy hour special taco which happened to be three shrimp tacos and some tortilla chips. The chips flew away - lol! It was that windy but it was also a beautiful day so we sat outside! Kombucha was yummy. Hubby had the bacon cheese burger and it was huge! Best part - music was top notch and not too loud since it's outdoors. read more

Voted WORLDS BEST lightly FRIED OYSTERS....yes voted WORLDS BEST by my wife and I. This venue is nothing short of spectacular...right on the Columbia with gorgeous views. Service was also spectacular; Easily rated 10 stars for Theresa. She was a machine, always helpful and checked on us so often she made us feel like VIPs. Their beer selection is also top notch. Will be back for sure. UPDATE! We returned one week later, and now EVE has garnered WORLD's BEST SERVER STATUS as well! She's running like a wild squirrel, all smiles and making sure cold beer stays cold and hot food stays hot! Thank you EVE; 10-Star service! read more

My father and I stopped here on our way hunting. First of all, the view was gorgeous. Right on the water. We were seated quickly, and the server was very attentive and friendly. Good drinks, and amazing food. There are lots of Gluten-free options. I had the fish tacos and they were very flavorful and amazing! My dad had the Reuben and loved it. Service was quick. Overall, the final price was very fair for 3 drinks and 2 meals. Definitely pleased and would love to come back. read more

Great outdoor dining space and friendly servers. Menu is marked for GF items. We had the lunch special fish tacos. Would be nice if they had a dedicated fryer for fries, chips and other gluten-free items to expand GF options. They have live music on weekends with bandstands inside and out. Looks like it would be fun! Also of note is that you can park your trailer in overflow parking if stopping just to eat in The Dalles when on a road trip! read more

I want to give a HUGE "Shout Out" to Bargeway Pub and Catering. A group of us were in town for a work-related trip and planned to have lunch there. Steve and Stacey were more than gracious and helpful working with our group prior to our arrival date on an affordable option for lunch's and working with in a predetermined budget. The menu offered a huge variety and everyone had great reviews on the drive back home. The venue and staff are absolutely incredible and accommodating. Don't let the "Closed Road/Local Access" signs make you turn around...This Gem is definitely on my radar for another visit this summer when I can spend some off duty time and enjoy all they have to offer...I encourage you to stop by and see all they have to offer. Thank you..Kari read more

Passing through town for the night and spotted this spot on Google--eating on a barge sounded like a fun novelty. Spoiler: it's not a barge. Just a building next to the water. That said, the patio views were stunning, and we had high hopes going in. Unfortunately, the food and overall vibe just didn't deliver. Let's start with the good: service was solid. It seemed like a tag-team system, and we were helped by multiple friendly and attentive staff members. No complaints there. We kicked things off with drinks and the kung pao calamari. Flavor-wise, it was fine--but texture-wise? Over-fried into oblivion. The rest of the menu didn't exactly excite us, so we played it safe and split a Caesar salad and wings. The salad was... a Caesar salad. Moving on. The wings, however, were a full-on misfire. Oily, heavy, and strangely off in flavor--like they were fried in sadness. I barely choked down one and then just stared at the plate like it owed me an apology. We're not the kind of people who send food back, but these were just not edible. A server eventually checked in (after a long stretch of us clearly ignoring the wings), and to their credit, they handled it graciously and took them off the bill. We swapped in an order of fish and chips, which were marginally better but still arrived swimming in grease. At that point, we were too committed to escape. There was live music on the patio, which can be fun--except the performer kept walking off mid-set and seemed to be guessing his way through the lyrics. Not exactly setting the vibe. In the end, we appreciated the friendly service and the great view, but when it comes to the food, this place is just... missing the mark. If it weren't for the staff, this would've been a 2-star visit. Not the worst experience, but definitely not one we'd repeat. read more

One of the best places in town. Usually a good environment with good food. Especially in the summertime when they have live music. Tends to be somewhat quick depending on how many people are there. read more

We knew we'd hit The Dalles around dinner time while traveling, so I picked this restaurant based on other Yelp reviews, and it did not disappoint! I loved the pork tacos and my husband snagged the opportunity to have some fried oysters (something I NEVER cook at home, since I'm not a fan), and we both came away satisfied and ready to finish the last leg of our journey to the Portland/Vancouver area. It also has an event center and stage area for live music. If we weren't on the road, it would have been a great place to linger for more time! read more

Always on the short list for a hometowner. Get the cauliflower. It may change your life!!!!

So glad we tried this place. Loved sitting outside near the river, we had ultra attentive server(s). I think we were asked how we were doing by multiple staff. There was live music, and it was quite good. The servings were very plentiful. I had the Parmesan Chicken, was moist and very good. The mashed potatoes were very substantial, and tasty. Had a really good experience! read more

Bargeway Pub - The view from the table. - New American Near Me - The Dalles, Oregon

Great atmosphere and service. We went in the winter, but they have a killer outside area that would be nice in the summer.

Great location by the river. Excellent service for a large group, including young teens and younger children .

Great view of the water and the city. There is a large patio with a fire pit, and cool, gas lights. The service was friendly and efficient. There was a pretty long beer list with a lot of variety. They offer 10 ounce pours so you can try more of them. The food was solid, and they had a lot of options. We had a salmon dinner. Our friends had a Waygu burger. It was all good just not anything remarkable. Saturday night there was live music. Not sure why it wasn't packed. read more

Location location location. Nice setting literally on the banks of the Columbia River with plenty of view seating, indoor and out. Food is above average for the local restaurant market with some culinary twists that seem to work. Fish Tacos rock. Have not attended, but apparently some good live music events with an outdoor mini concert/dining arrangement. A wide range of brewery options. Quite nice. read more

Servers were awesome, local brews, Weather and view were the positives. Granted, this is a burger place, but the portobello sandwich needed a longer marinade a few more minutes on the grill. The hummus plate was ok, peppers and olives were the star of the plate. Could use a few more veggies and do without the paprika-seasoned tortilla chips. Same chips with the chips and salsa, both plates the chips were stale. They allow and serve dogs in the outdoor patio and grassy area, ok, nice option if that's a thing... but one of the servers was forced to glove up and clean up someone else's negligence. read more

Trippin location for meetin and drinkin good craft beer on tap and grabbin some good bitin grub. Ruba dub dub feed the hungry tub. Cold frothy brew for the taste buds & brew buzz! Big selection of guest taps from local Oregon breweries. Columbia River view will soothe you too as you ease in to this friendly outdoor or indoor space. Waygu burger and potato salad was delicious! Really good service for our crowd of 15 bikers - we pedaled off the scenic paved trail to Bargeway - and a good time was had by all! read more

The beer was good, as was the view. Everything else was forgettable. Ordered the calamari. Too much teriyaki sauce. One piece was orange--as in spoiled fish. Gross! The Asian lettuce wraps had pesto sauced chicken with it. Who does that! Service was good. Beer, view, and service are only reason for two stars. read more

Beautiful location. Decent food. Marginal service. Had to chase down my server to pay.

After a negative experience the first time, basically unfriendly service and actually lack of any service, I decided to go back because I was in The Dalles and it was a gorgeous 72 degree evening. I wanted a burger - and their burgers are fantastic - and I wanted to sit by the River and listen to music. Bargeway offers all of this. Maybe it was because it was after Labor Day and the crowds have diminished to a manageable level. Or maybe it was because my server, Claudia, was exceptional. Or a combo of both, but this time I was greeted upon entry versus 10 minutes waiting at hostess station. Immediately I was offered a table outside and my drink and dinner order taken within minutes. Burger and hard cider were terrific. The live music started around 6:30 and they were great. it was a full crowd outside, every table taken - families, couples, friends - and just a great vibe. Claudia checked in on me several times to see if I needed anything and handled my requests (extra ketchup, another hard cider) efficiently and with a genuine smile. Stayed for the first set which coincided with a vibrant sunset. Based on this experience, I'll be back. read more

Was in town visiting a client and needed to grab a bite to eat. This was convenient for me. Headed out of town. Love the location on the river and the inside was warm and inviting. Service was great. my only real issue was that for my awesome club sandwich and a cup of soup plus a soda was nearly $30 which included tip. Just seemed a little high, considering I was just one person. I will chalk it up as paying for the view. read more

Bargeway Pub has a lot of really great things going for it! I came here to see a band perform, and I was thoroughly impressed overall. As a music venue, there are both indoor and outdoor performance areas. The weather was suitable enough for an outdoor show when I went, and the only issue with the outdoor band area seating was with the outdoor misters. They were in a state of poor enough disrepair and were installed such that they caused a pretty steady drop of large amounts of water onto the tables. This required strategic positioning of one's food items to prevent them from getting wet. The food itself was far better than expected! Portion sizes are HUGE, prices are low, and the food itself was truly outstanding! The lobster macaroni and cheese was particularly good, as were the French fries. The wings were disappointing...soggy, even though I asked if they could prepare them "extra crispy", and the waitress confirmed that they could, and I ordered them that way. Staff was generally helpful and friendly, with the exception of the bartender, whose job it seemed to be to ignore patrons at the bar, and to act as though her customers were a huge imposition to her when she eventually acknowledged their presence (which took FAR longer than it should have - I literally waited for ten minutes to get a glass of water for the lead singer of the band). I'll definitely be back the next time a band I want to see plays here. It is an 85-mile drive from my house, but it is worth the trip, so long as you don't need to deal with the bartender. read more

Good food, good service and awesome ambiance. Location is good and you can bring your pup!

The view was great. The beer was fine. The food needed some help. I felt so sorry for a family, because two of their kids were playing (in the outside seating area where we were) with a doll, where dog poop had been smeared around and picked up moments earlier. They were definitely exposed forearms, legs and feet directly to poop contaminated areas. They went on to go eat without washing their hands. This is how kids get parasites people. They were so sweet too... As far as our food, fast service but lower quality. The olives and peppers were oily but ok. Obviously out of a jar so... The rest was burned or just poorly cooked. Please, if you are the cook reading this, google Portobello mushroom and make it like we do at home on the bbq even. Marinate in a little olive oil, balsamic vinegar and then cook for four minutes on bottom side and two min on top side. Really good and easy to bite through in a burger or sandwich. Thanks, but this was honestly disappointing (on a special occasion passing through the area. A ton of food, really sweet kind attitudes of the servers, but the food could use some improving. PS the kids chairs outside have black mildew marks and bird poop. Please clean them with disinfectant and do better. read more

Well, this is a tough one because I really loved our waitress so much, but I don't even have a picture of the food because not only did the waitress put the order in wrong, ( which she apologized profusely), It took over an hour to get my food to me. By the time I got to the table, I was so hungry. I didn't even think to take a picture. Not only that, when my food got to me, it was cold and part of my food was missing When I asked about it, they said "oh I'm sorry we ran out of shrimp". Funny thing is they had gotten my order to begin with, I would've had some shrimp since my husband had a shrimp burrito. They did feel terrible and comped my meal, but not my favorite food experience. Also....the music was just so terrible. It was a bummer because it was a stunning evening and we wanted to hang out, but the musician was just not good. So I feel bad giving a bad review, because maybe it was just a super off night, but, it was not good (minus the really lovely wait staff). read more

this place desperately needs Gordon Ramsey! We were not expecting too much- no fine dinning, but the place has a 4.4 on google so we thought we'd give it a try - Big mistake! We walked in and there was a very loud off key singer playing a guitar, it was hot so we had wanted to sit in the AC but there was no way to hear a conversation so we moved outside into the heat (yeah it was that off key and that loud that 90 degrees was a better option).... There were 3 of us and 2 of the entrees where just not at all in the realm of decent. We sent back the steelhead fish (burnt to a hot oil crisp) only to have a second one show up just as over cooked not even able to cut with a knife it was so dry with the outside hard. The pulled pork nachos for some unknown reason were smothered in thousand island dressing (which isn't mentioned in the description) again not eaten....My turkey wrap was good but I ended up giving half my wrap to a friend who's meal was uneatable. The waitress Alyssa, was very considerate and more than a bit embarrassed about the quality of the food she had to serve. When we weren't eating the entrees (it was obvious why!), she asked her manager to at least take one entrees off the bill - but he (Matt the manager) refused and instead offered a 10% discount- geeze thanks Matt. My advice is AVOID- go to Taco Time at least there you'll get a standard mediocre food where here there is no bottom to the standard- just a poorly done hot mess that I wouldn't feed to our dog (we didn't take what we didn't eat)- Please know I don't in general write reviews of restaurants if they are just so-so, it's a hard industry to make a go of, but this place is beyond just so-so- it's bad so poorly done and does not deserve to survive the lack of care or ability of the kitchen read more
