    This place is amazing! Great food, music and location! One of the if not the best spot in Saint Helens. A hidden gem. Sitting here on Friday night, listening to amazing music form a guitar playing singer songwriter. Don't want to miss this spot! Right on the river-what a view and great folks!

    This place needs more love! A great spot with incredible and attentive service. They were setting up for some live music before we left so it seemed like it would be a happening spot later in the night but it was sadly on the slower side around 4pm on a Saturday. Hope more people discover this place. They have a great selection of beer and ciders!

    Best Chicago dog on the west coast! I'm from Chicago found this place by accident. Once a year I drive here for one, it's worth it!

    Had dinner at the Klondike Tavern in St. Helens and it was exceptional from start to finish - I'm…read moretalking really, really good. I ordered the pasta bolognese and a seasonal lemon drop, and both were genuinely the best I've ever had. The bolognese was rich and perfectly balanced, with deep, slow-cooked flavor and pasta cooked exactly right. Every bite felt thoughtful and well executed. The lemon drop was just as impressive -- bright, fresh, and not overly sweet, with a clean citrus finish that made it hard not to order another. The atmosphere strikes that ideal balance of relaxed and refined, and the service was attentive with a splash of "feels like home." Everything was clearly itemized on our bill, and there were no surprises. It's clear they care about quality and providing a complete dining experience beyond a great plate of food. Large portions, delicious food, well-made cocktails, solid service, and a unique setting compelled us to tip handsomely. It was a great experience. If you are in St. Helens, this place is worth your time. I'll absolutely be back. We left genuinely impressed!

    Food's good. We're usually here after an appearance so only snacking, but the snacking options are…read moresolid. Wasn't here for the food, though, was here for the absolutely stunning whiskey selection and the fact that this is easily the best Old Fashioned between the Willamette and the ocean. No, really, your fancy stuffy Portland bar does not pour as good and Old Fashioned. And every time, that's the Klondike. The bartenders are awesome and friendly, the...no, sorry, man, the Old Fashioned. I gotta keep talking about it, because it's that good. (Oh, also the zero proof selection is fire. Had some egg nog concoction back around Xmas when I had to drive and you know for an 0.0 that was 100% tasty.) I don't know the magic. Their Manhattan and Brooklyn, also solid, but it's getting the perfect balance in the cocktail and it's real hard to find anything that holds a candle at twice the price. Now, is it Decibel good? Yes, actually, with the same vibe of that I don't feel weird as a blue-collar type here, nor am I surrounded by blue-collarosplayers, a big problem in Portland. So, yeah, amazing to get a snotty bar quality Old Fashioned at a welcoming place for a welcoming price. You should stop in and make sure you're not wearing socks you're too attached to because it will knock them off.

    I REALLY wanted to love this little place under the new management. I hadn't been in since 2022…read more(out of the way for me). However, the owner made a Facebook post as a "call to action" for the community to support small businesses and I did just that. My experience: Upon entering the store/cafe, no one was working. I looked around and stood at the counter quite a while before the owner and an employee came out from the back. There was someone mopping who made eye contact with me, but never said a word. It was a bit uncomfortable... like I was a bother. I let them know that I saw the Facebook post and was there to purchase something. Under the old owners, the pies were delicious. I opted for a peach (very little inventory/choices available). I was extremely disappointed. $26 for a pie that was not very good. As well as, I felt the environment was less than welcoming. Now mind you, I made a special trip there because of her post which she voiced struggle. So, I asked if I could give some "feedback". Getting as much feedback from the community is imperative to the success of ANY business. Unfortunately, she said she was too "raw", gave me her business card, told me I could text her and walked away. I did feel for her which is why I was there trying to support the store. When the owner walked away, the employee apologized to me and it sounded as if others also have tried to offer feedback/support, but resources weren't being utilized. I walked out feeling like it was a wasted trip, wasted money and a wasted opportunity for the owner to gain a loyal customer. I paid $26 for a pie that was very overpriced; soggy with canned peaches that hadn't been drained well enough. I was disappointed. Like I said, I really wanted to love this place. But unfortunately, it was a one star experience for me. I realize I risk unsavory opinion of me personally regarding this review from the community. However, this truly is meant to help both patrons and the owner. I wish the Yankton Store and Restaurant the best of luck and success going forward.

The order got messed up and i gave the way and what i wanted. That being said said there were a loss to them of 4 burgers. I get it so i thinking a bit magnanimous said ill eat two of them so not a giant deal right. I bought 2 of the 4 and bought my right order. I thought thats the end of it . I went out and left my daughter there to wait for our food. Someone else came in to order a hillbilly and from the kitchen she hear " im not making another one for those fuckin people!!". The nice cashier had to tell her it eas for ANOTHER CUSTOMER!!!!. What the hell happened to Yankton Store. Ill bet in another year or 2 this new owner is gonna be out of business. my advice go anywhere else. Leave it to rot on the vine.

    Exceptional service: Izzy was warm, helpful and very efficient!…read moreThis place is huge and we were the only people there for nearly a half hour. They opened at 8:00 am on the dot. The menu is fairly extensive and they serve everything (breakfast, lunch and dinner entrees) in the morning. We went to fairly traditional breakfast food: my grandson chose an à la carte waffle and then we asked to have whipped cream and strawberries added. He adored his choice. I went with a Country Biscuit which was truly ginormous! The biscuit itself was H U G E and had two eggs, cheddar cheese, bacon and chicken fried chicken all covered in creamy gravy. Wow is the only word that comes to mind. It will end up being three meals for me, at least. The prices seem pretty steep, but considering the huge portions, the prices are probably similar to other places (ounce per ounce). Oh, and the last thing I wanted to add is that your plates are delivered to your table by a robot, which was pretty entertaining for me, but even more so for my grandson. Izzy came over to actually place the plates in front of us, but it was pretty cute having the robot, they named Bella, deliver our food to the table.

    First, let me say- I recall coming here with my mother as a kid. So, while staying in Woodland…read morebriefly and seeing it was still open for business...I thought- must still be a favorite place. NOPE! We had to inquire if they were open because it was dark and empty when we walked in....(Warning) We were seated and our server was very pleasant and promptly offered beverages- we ordered a soda. We examined the menu that was Extensive. Maybe Too Extensive (Warning) - seems like places that go overboard on menu options and have low volume have more opportunities for food spoilage. We took the SAFE route and went with Breakfast options....Wise Move!! Both our breakfasts were delicious!! Hot, tasty and just what we were hoping for!! We were especially Shocked that this Dated little spot was forging ahead with Technology....with a Robot Waiter!! We're from Arizona where trends are the Rage. I hadn't seen one in person before!! Kudos for trying to stay cutting edge!! Here's my suggestion...use some funds to upgrade/update to ambiance, simplify the menu to focus on What your Specialties are...and, try to recapture the energy/community it used to have. Three stars cause it was delicious and staff was sweet- otherwise, we won't be back due to the unpleasant atmosphere and stale odor of the establishment. Needs a facelift.
