Denise and Mary were very attentive to all our needs and have wonderful personalities. Especially Denise what an amazing person. Thank you!! The burgers were delicious as were the beer battered fries and the coleslaw is to die for. The home made fry sauce was just as wonderful as the other food. I will be trying the ribs next time I am there. The wide variety of beers and ciders were so extensive everyone will be able to find something they will enjoy. Thank you to all the staff at the West Valley Taphouse. I look forward to seeing you and all your other wonderful patrons very soon. Eric

Who doesn't love the Bitter Monk? My gosh, it's a gem in the heart of McMinnville! Tucked away at…read morethe intersection of 3rd and Cowls, it is centrally located in downtown McMinnville. We discovered the Bitter Monk through a friend who lives locally. At his recommendation, we visited for the first time about a year ago. This weekend was the third time we've returned. This weekend they were hosting the Wonderland Brew Fest. Live music, at least 30 different brews to chose from, wonderful local pretzel vendor, and a food truck! Absolute heaven! McMinnville is a little piece of heaven just south of Portland... The Bitter Monk makes it just a little more perfect! If you're ever nearby, stop in and enjoy a lovely brew. Becky and her team are absolutely the best! We look forward to returning again soon!

I joined some friends for a night of music by Rich McCloud. It's a spacious and bright…read moreestablishment that offers a variety of regional ciders and beers. Food varies upon the featured food trucks. While there, friends enjoyed sharing a supreme pizza. Amidst the multiple drink options, there were only two canned non-alcoholic brews to choose from. Unfortunate as the climate of sobriety continues to gain popularity. The featured musician was outstanding, but I think the lack of acoustic sound proofing, mood lighting, and loud talkers distracted from his performance. There should be some sort of separation of those there to enjoy the music and others there to visit out of respect for the performer. Additionally, the poster misspelled his name and had no address (I ended up at another location). Small but notable gaffes.

This was a return visit that was much overdue. If you don't know about the Benedictine Brewery and…read moreyou love artfully hand crafted beer? You need to become acquainted. The monks of the Mount Angel Benedictine Abbey are practicing a centuries old tradition... As part of their daily observation of life, they brew beer. Let me tell you it is absolutely outstanding. The grounds are breathtaking, on a little hillside outside of Mount Angel, just under an hour south Portland. I highly recommend that you take one of the more scenic drives instead of just blasting down I-5, but you do you. It's not a restaurant per se. But there are snacks. And there is a large selection of beer. My partner and I already knew that we had no idea what we wanted because we want everything and that would make driving home extremely difficult. So we opted for the only logical choice: the sampler Their sampler boards come with either four or five slots, and they provide a 4 ounce pour into the sampler glass. We each got a five spot board, and two additional drinking glasses so that we could pour splits, and were thus able to sample 10 of the brews on tap. We also decided that snacks were in order so we got the spinach, artichoke dip, times two. You order at the counter and when your order is prepared, you are called and can pick it up. It's a very simple set up, harkening back to a simpler time in many ways. Some of the taps vary seasonally. Some of them are occasionally just out. I can't tell you what you're going to find. But I can tell you if the Hairshirt, the Half Cloak, and the Little Tyrant are on tap? You definitely want to sample those. This is not typical mid-grade Portland IPA... These are exceptional brews across a variety of styles Highly recommended! I go down every time I get a chance and suggest that you might want to consider that as well

I'll preface my review with this: I'm a NERDY NERD, especially when it comes to breweries! So, to…read moremy total joy, stumbling across this brewery on our Oregon trip was a TREAT! We went first to the abbey, just to walk (gorgeous view), where we were informed of the attached brewery. As a beer girly, a Jesus freak, and a traveler who's been to other monk-run breweries around the world, I knew that we had to check this place out! The beer was good. It's not the best you'll ever have, but definitely pretty good! The service was great two - the bartenders were working hard to serve people and close up shop once it hit the time. They have to-go cold and non-cold options, as well as other merch available for sale. The space is gorgeous, and I love that it utilized community-raising initiatives to build out the frame. Definitely take time to read the posters, the documents on the site, and watch the video about the community raising!

This has been open a short time and we finally had a chance to get over here…read more The inside was packed and very echoey so we opted to sit outside. This is a come in and order everything, pay, and tip up front place. Which while I understand it's the new normal I'm tipping for service I've yet to receive which doesn't exactly sit well with me. I love the decor to include the outdoor seating and the rock work and fir and pine trees that were recently planted. The menu is mostly pizza. Three sandwiches to choose from and four salads. Good enough I ordered the six inch pesto pizza which was amazing. I would definitely order that again. The YS got the chopped salad which looked good and he said tasted good but wasn't anything to write home about. We sat for quite a while while waiting I observed others get their pizza and salads and their waitstaff asked them if they needed plates or anything else which then the waitstaff brought to them. Our food came and a different younger staffer said inside at the end of the bar you can get silverware and plates if you need them. As we were leaving I said it would have been nice to know we had to grab our own dinnerware while we had all that downtime before the food came. How did we get so lucky that we got to go in and get our supplies but everyone else it was brought to them. They had a place to put dishes outside to but one of the older (not teen) servers offered to take them. I will probably eat there again but it will be to go.

I ordered the vegan pizza and salad, and both were seriously good -- fresh, flavorful, and actually satisfying. As a vegan, sometimes ordering out feels like negotiating with a menu, but Beachcrest delivered real options that didn't feel like an afterthought. The service was also super fast and genuinely friendly. Everyone was welcoming, the food came out quickly, and the whole place had an easygoing, good-energy vibe. The restaurant itself was really clean too, which always makes a difference. Honestly, if a place can make me excited about both salad and pizza while also getting me fed quickly and kindly, I'm probably becoming a regular.

She brought the new pizza to go and offered at that time to refund our money . I said no no no we have one to go , we are happy :) well I stopped by my moms to share some with her and wow!!
