Im always skeptical of pizza outside of NY, but this place delivered. Its a cool spot, with great service and lots of tasty choices.

Highly recommend this spot in Hood River!!!

Giving this a 3 mostly based on food (which is closer to a 5) and how cute the restaurant is, but…read moreconsidered giving it a 2 for the experience we had. We were a group of 5 trying to get Sat on a Saturday night. They gave us an estimated wait time of an hour but encouraged us to try their takeout option because it would be "faster" and we could take it to eat by the water. This sounded like a great idea so we went around back and found a food truck and kiosk. The food truck did slices or 15inch pizzas so we decided to try the kiosk (they had 11in pizzas). This was probably the wrong decision. They had a waitress who also had an entire section running the kiosk. She was intermittently available and pretty unhelpful. They tack on a 15% required gratuity which feels like there isn't incentive for her to handle the orders well. We each did our own orders and they don't text you when your order is ready (we all got our texts 20 minutes after we picked up our food) so we just stood in the parking lot waiting for our food. When it was finally up, she didn't yell the names very loudly so we had to pay close attention to who had ordered before us. Once we got our food (after 40-45 minutes) I then waited another 10 minutes for the lemonade I ordered. A man said he was going to look for it and never came back so the waitress eventually went and got it herself after she took care of a couple of her tables and began bussing another. The food quality was excellent. We got the mozzarella sticks which were huge, well seasoned and had the best cheese pull. The fries with truffle were incredible and fresh. They were very flavorful and garlicky. The aioli it came with added to it perfectly. Finally, we got 3 different pizzas. They were baked well and had plenty of toppings. I would recommend trying their food but do yourself a favor and get a reservation.

I had the chanterelle sandwich and added bacon, which did not detract from the mushrooms and did not disappoint. The coleslaw on the sandwich was pleasantly acidic with apple cider vinegar and I scooped up every bit. I upgraded the standard side salad to the autumn salad. I paired the salad with a taster of blackberry cider, and had a stout with my sandwich. Both drinks were simple, clean, and while unremarkable compared to the incredible food, they held up their end and did not detract. Even though it was far too large for one person I had the stout brownie with a ~generous~ scoop of Tillamook vanilla for dessert and yes, I did eat the whole thing. Service was excellent from both the hostess and the server. I sat at a two-top in a back corner, right under a light that was perfect for reading the book I brought while maintaining the dark, inviting overall atmosphere and relaxing feel. It was a perfect solo evening.

Parking is a Hood River nightmare and sparse to find. They used to let you order coins to play games at the counter when you ordered your food, now they have a machine to get coins that only takes cash. Had no cash on me so the kids were upset they couldn't play games. I just feel it used to be better and has gone down hill a bit. Also from 2 years ago to now they changed their salad bar from unlimited to one trip. I guess good things don't last forever

We arrived later than planned at the White Salmon location and hit the dinner rush, but were seated…read moreimmediately. We were grateful the patio was open -- it cut down on the indoor noise, and as non‑drinkers, we appreciated being away from the strong beer smell inside. Vegetarian options were plentiful and clearly labeled, which was a relief. We started with chips and all three salsas: red, mango, and queso. The queso had the only bit of zing, the red salsa tasted more like tomato sauce, and the mango salsa was delicious but very sweet. The chip‑to‑salsa ratio was excellent -- something many restaurants miss. The mains were slow to arrive, but understandable given the rush. The seasonal snap pea salad was beautifully presented and genuinely delicious, with a light lemon note and sweet pepperdew peppers. My husband ordered the pub cheeseburger with the vegetarian patty; he found it a bit spicy (he doesn't do heat at all), and I found it slightly dry, though I appreciated that it was a house‑made patty rather than the usual Beyond/Boca/Impossible option. I'm not one to linger after eating, so I always get impatient waiting for the check, but overall we would definitely eat here again. There were so many thoughtful vegetarian choices.

A nice refreshing beer was exactly what was needed after all the work rafting. For a starter we got the artichoke dip. This was some of the best dip I've ever had. I could have eaten this as my whole meal and ate too much that I wasn't super hungry when my burger came. I wasn't too upset about that though because the dip was a lot better than the burger. The bacon jam and onions on the burger were great, but the burger itself was slightly dry.

Additionally, the Mr. and I ordered the strawberry shortcake to share. The base was a lemon scone, topped with fresh strawberries, and whipped cream. It was the best thing I ate in Oregon!

Fun partying with friends. Very cool that vineyard owners Tess Barr sang (voice like Dixie Chicks Natalie Maines) and husband played a mean maniacal harmonica. They rocked!

Bad start but we decided to go for it (I planned this stop because they had good looking food and cocktails for the non wine drinkers). There were maybe 4 tables occupied, so I was surprised it would take "a long while". One person from my party went directly to the restroom so didn't hear what was said, when he came out he went to the bar and asked if he could order a flight which he received a strict "no it's going to be a long while" Lol I understand being overwhelmed or whatever, we're human, but to have the attitude was unnecessary. We left after a few minutes and spent $400 at another winery down the road. Which by the way was much busier but because they were kind we stuck it out, our server made a good chunk on tips too. Too bad

For solid beers with delicious food that has dog-friendly seating, pFriem is a great option for just that. When we arrived to pFriem Family Brewers on a Sunday night, the place was busy. For the two of us to sit outside with our dog, we waited half an hour. What's nice is that they have a bar area for those waiting to dine in the restaurant where you can order beers from a window and there's some seating available. We were able to try a few beers before our table was ready. The menu offers a good variety of different foods. We shared the sausage platter as they offer Olympia Provisions sausages, and it came with sauerkraut, beer cheese and bread. It went very well with the beer. I liked the IPAs I tried, as they had a handful of different kinds. Beer and wine list were long, offering a lot to choose from. Everything was tasty here, and my dog loved her hamburger patty! I would come back to pFriem when in the area.
