Outside seating can be had, though with cast iron frame furniture. Nothing comfy. The regulars don't come here for plush seating or rich atmosphere. We come to enjoy the food and the staff. The soups are delightful and fresh. I especially love the Chipotle tomato and spicy corn chowder! This is tavern food with a gourmet twist! The burgers are flavorful, robust, and bursting with umami. The buns are fresh and ever so slightly sweet. Wonderful. The steak salad is an amazing lighter meal, seeded with slow roasted garlic and a gorganzola cream dressing. I once had the new York strip. It was properly cooked to request and is served with potatos fried in duck fat. For the $40 entry fee, I was sorely impressed. The waiting staff are all seasoned bartenders and servers with interesting backgrounds, cheerful demeanor, and an obvious love of engaging with the public. Everytime I visit, I leave pleased with my decision to return.

The stout brownie is something ill always dream about and was phenomonal as always. overall experance id give a 7/10, please for the love of the world tell your cooks to use timers for things like wings so they arnt as tough as a bone. p.s please also reopen patio area and retroduce solo dining tables so i dont feel like im preventing a 4 top from coming in.

[Format & Space] Seat yourself*, review the menus at the table, order at the bar, they bring your food and drinks to your table. *Plenty of tables, some with long benches, others with chairs on the inside. There's also a large patio. This is a welcome and safe space. [Drinks] Right up front, I'm going to tell you I'm a lightweight. I'm allergic to alcohol, so I don't drink often. Here's one of the things I love about The 649. They have a fantastic selection of mocktails that are created with the same creativity, flair, and intention as a "leaded" cocktail. I appreciate that I get to participate and not be stuck with a lemonade, zero alcohol beer, or wine. So, HUZZAH for creating an inviting space for a non-drinker! There *are* times when I'm willing to risk the lobster-bod, itchiness, and stuffy nose and there are plenty of cocktails from which to choose! [Food] There's a nice selection of sharable plates and mains. I've personally tried the flatbread pizza, Bavarian pretzel, Cubano, and Brisket Press, all of which were delish. [Service] The service has always been fabulous. The staff are welcoming, friendly, and helpful. [Activities] There are a few TVs around the bar with sports. It was a great place to catch some of the World Cup games. Additionally, there are several games that you can borrow and play, which is a lot of fun. [Location] Tucked in a busy shopping center with Safeway as an anchor. Parking hasn't been super problematic yet, but based on one of the other reviewers (Ron R - loved your formatting too, so I borrowed it until we get rich text formatting or emojis!)

Congratulations you are receiving 5 stars for food, service and ambiance…read more Thanks to Edgar we were able to order exactly what we were hoping for. I'm known for requesting minor tweaks to the entre. For example, we ordered the Chef's Omelette with mushrooms. The hash browns were great! Don't let the dark pieces fool you. We were pleased with the crunchy texture. Yes! Yes! The Apple Crepes were the star of the show. I loved every bite. Not a single crumb in sight after me and the hubby devoured these fabulous entrees. Thank you! We will return tomorrow

With our drinks, we also shared the halawa and it was fantastic. The small sized halawa was perfect for 2 people. The tea and coffee came with sugar as well which was nice, just a great experience. The cost of the meal was also fantastic for what you get. It was totally worth every penny. I recommend you check this spot out, even if you're picky like me!

We came on a Thursday morning right at opening (9am) and were able to snag a table inside for our group. The space is small inside but they do have a few outside tables too which is nice to enjoy in the summer time. Parking is standard street parking right on Broadway. We started out with Turkish coffees and Iraqi Tea. The presentation was beautiful and the complex flavors were so nice to wake our taste buds. We ordered the Beef Mix, Lamb and Eggs, Pastry #2 (hot dog, mushroom, cheese), baclava, and their special halawa to try. They were cooking right by the counter so the whole space filled with delicious aromas while we were waiting for our food. We all had full bellies between 3 adults and 2 kids and took home leftovers! You MUST get the Beef Mix! I don't even know how to describe how delicious this dish is to give it justice but it was definitely the group favorite. It came with salad and yummy boat shaped bread to scoop up all the flavorful goodness. Their house hot sauce took it to the next level. The baklava was the perfect amount of sweetness with the coffee and tea. It was our first time trying a halawa and we all loved the dense texture with a sweet taste. Please do your taste buds a favor and come support this local business!!

The people working there were super nice, kind, and efficient. On a side note they also have Claw City claw machines but I didn't play this time :) I ordered their happy hour chicken tenders and they were good sized chicken tenders! They were cooked well and not too salty so I could happily dip it in my spicy mayo sauce. The fries were also delicious. Loved the cute little swirl but the texture was also good. I didn't get any alcoholic beverages but I was able to make my own drink with diet pepsi and a drink that was like sprite- it was good. It was a nice place to meet up with friends, co-workers, families, etc!

We were actually recommended to this spot by Buick GMC of Beaverton for great wings and good vibes, and they did not disappoint. The restaurant was clean, spacious, and had such a welcoming atmosphere from the moment we walked in. I ordered the Ol' Dirty Buffalo bone-in wings with a side of fries, while my husband ordered the Bao tacos. The tacos were a really good size and absolutely delicious. But as a true chicken wing type of gal, I have to say -- those wings were top tier! The seasoning and sauce were flavorful, perfectly balanced, and definitely hit the spot. Of course, I had to pair it with a nice IPA... delicious! Highly recommend Prime Tap House: West End if you're looking for a great place to grub, drink, and chill with good vibes all around.

Definitely a smaller quaint location, with MAX 10 tables; so if you plan on coming on a busy night…read moreI would highly recommend placing reservations. We went on a Tuesday night and the place was already packed. The server, at least on the day we went, was working OVER TIME. There was only 1 server and she operated as the bar tender, hostess, and server. I understand that its a small location but she was running and was still incredibly friendly despite the fact. The food is amazing. Everything we ordered was absolutely fantastic and we had a lot. We tried the Fire Fish Soozi, the Salmon Poke Bowl, the chicken Karaage, Garlic chicken noodles, and the Fried beef with garlic fried rice. I know a lot of the dishes have garlic in their name, just know that garlic is quite predominant flavor amongst multiple dishes. Definitely on the pricier side for starters, but the portions are decent and the flavors are good.

There's not a lot of seating and it's not meant for big parties. We tried the tea sample (got 3 different teas to try) and they'll refill it with hot water as many times as you want. You can probably go through 2 or 3 pots of water for each tea but allow about 30 minutes for each pot. It also came with 3 smaller food items that we got to try and surprisingly, it's pretty reasonable at $39 per person. The nice thing is, you only get charged for one person while everyone else at your table can also try the tea. Service was good and very friendly. As for the food, it was pretty good, not out of this world but you're going for the tea and not necessarily the food (IMO).

My reason for showing up was to sample their chili which, according to them is amazing. Meh. Talk is cheap. No stars off for the misleading marketing but if amazing chili is your thing, pass this place by. Scottys claims their chili is amazing. It's above average (average in Portland is disgustingly lousy) but far from amazing. It's spicy and has lots of meat, which makes it above [PDX] average. But it's served on a large but very shallow bowl so the portion is very stingy. It was also barely warm so a big minus for that. If it was served in a massive sized bowl, *HOT*, with a basket of saltines that weren't previously pulverized by who knows how many previous diners you might have a contender. Sorry Scottys but your chili is a long way from amazing. Other than that, bartender was fine. Prices were reasonable. No complaints about staff or the venue. Not especially my kind of place so doubtful I will ever become a regular. But it has dark, intimate corners to bring a date and a few large windows if you like it bright while you imbibe. They do run regular specials and the special today looked pretty good except that I was there specifically to sample their chili. Perhaps you should make mac and cheese your signature dish, Scottys?
