Stayed at the Best Western next door and walked over the next morning to get our complimentary breakfast! It was absolutely delicious- poached eggs were perfectly cooked and the peppered bacon was so good; I'm still dreaming about it! Staff were very friendly and helpful when ordering. Place was very cute and rustic inside. Loved all of the condiment options. Can't wait to come back some day! read more

Many of my luncheon group (bringing them here today), have been here before, and know exactly what to expect. As for me, they don't take reservations. I didn't know, you have to order at the counter. For me, those would be negative, for the group. But, they were OK with that! We came for the view, I told them. Hubby and I both ordered the Reuben Sandwich with the soup of the day, and it came with fries. I didn't care for my soup, it's a bit spicy! I gave mine to hubby. The sandwich was not super delicious, it's something I've eaten before (elsewhere). Nothing new. The company was delightful! The parking, right outside the door. The weather turned out just perfect, when last night there's hail and storm! The sun decided to play hide & seek. Yes, we'll be back! read more

Stopped in for lunch and had a solid meal with a great view. Food: Reuben and Fries (4/5): Large portions and very filling. The sandwich was flavorful, though just a tiny bit heavy on the sauce for my taste. The fries were good and complemented the sandwich well. Service: Friendly and efficient once lunch service started. Ambiance: Excellent view of the Bridge of the Gods and the Columbia River. Casual and comfortable setting that makes it a nice place to sit and enjoy a meal. Note: Lunch service starts at exactly 11:00 AM, not a minute earlier. Plan accordingly if you arrive early. Overall, a good lunch spot with generous portions, solid food, and a beautiful view. read more

Thanks to the Best Western Plus Columbia River Inn, my son and I enjoyed our complimentary breakfast here. You order at the cafeteria-style counter, get a number, and sit. When your breakfast is complete, it is cooked to order and brought to you. It has a rustic atmosphere, ample open seating with tables and booths, and incredible views of the River and the Bridge of the Gods. Friendly service and competitive pricing are also provided. A gift and coffee shop is attached. I would recommend it for breakfast. read more

We walked in and there was a pretty good menu and they still served us even we were there 20 mins before closing. I got some food and it was pretty solid, nice and filling the person who was serving us gave us a free cup of sauce when requested. There is a great view of the columbia river and The gods bridge. So overall it went pretty well. Would come again!! Ps: My dad got a ruben and hes very happy about it. read more

I had been recommended to eat here specifically because of the bridge view. The view was indeed beautiful. That was the main attractant for many I believe. I was not really impressed by the restaurant itself. You order at a counter, grab a number and seat yourself. It was extremely packed so you have to kind of hustle to claim an open spot. Drinks are self serve and the OJ tasted similar to sunny D. Staff were flat and seemed impatient at times- particularly the busser. The food was not bad, but not amazing either. I paid $21 for pancakes with bacon, orange juice, and an extra side of bacon. Tip was not expected but there was a jar on the counter. read more

Came from the booneville dam right before this. me and my family were extremely hungry and expecting a good lunch. We walked in to a massive line, even though it's 130. what really took me off the edge was the prices though. We were looking at the menu, and the prices are ABSOLOUTLY outrageous. I know inflation is a thing. but $9 for 2 chicken tenders is CRAZY. INSANE. one of my family members then wanted a little bit of extra ranch because they gave us a small cup. I walk up to the counter, and ask for a cup of ranch, and they say " 50 cents please". 50 cents for some extra ranch!!?? This ruined my day. the only slightly good thing was the view. as you can see from other reviews, this place is not good. STAY AWAY. The bathrooms were ok, but aren't anymore... sorry guys read more

We attended a meeting at nearby Slamania Lodge and took the toll bridge across the river to try out Bridgeside for a nice diner breakfast.

Bridgestone served great food and we received great service and the restaurants has a great atmosphere and great location.

Do Not eat here unless you need to. The food is just reheated in the microwave. McDonald's food is cheaper and better. read more

Very fast service, food was ok, nothing to write home about, the looked clean, however they were sticky GREAT view which made up for any shortcomings read more

Nice self serving restaurant. Beautiful views, but food needs more care. Nothing special as far the food goes.

A diner attached to a motel. It was very dingy upon arrival. No one greeted us to tell us how ordering took place. We left.

Breafast was Excellent but most of the wait staff rather detached! One walks In happy - hey it's morning and the view is great ..: but the staff - some with women buns could extend someFriendliness and perhaps a little morning smile? read more

Beautiful view / good basic choices for a quick breakfast. Pretty sure the bacon was microwaved which I don't care for . But the yogurt and granola with honey was tasty. read more

Simple counter service restaurant with seating available. Good food but you're not going to impress a girl if you have a date here.

Came in today to have a small breakfast, and the waitress refused to let me order the dish I wanted because it was on the '10 and under' menu. I recently had multiple stomach surgeries which make me unable to eat much. Even the kids sizes I'll normally leave half behind. I explained this and she still refused. It's their place and they can make the policy, but It's simply a silly policy. Left a bad taste in my mouth that will hopefully be replaced by the taste of food down the road! read more

We had an excellent breakfast with an amazing view on our recent trip. We will definitely plan to stop here again. Friendly staff and nicely done basic breakfast food. read more

Walk in and order your food and beverage, then find a seat. I ordered the black bean burger with fries $16.00. I was surprised with the double patty with cheese. It as delicious, held together nicely, had a little guacamole on top. The fries were plentiful and fried perfectly. Our view of the river and Bridge of the God's was beautiful. There's a nice gift shop, alcoholic beverages as well as a variety of non-alcoholic and Pepsi products. read more

"How many are in your group?" Our visit to Bridgeside started with this innocent-sounding question from the staff. We soon found out that it was anything but innocent, as we found that this was the company's way of tacking on an 18% gratuity to any "group" larger than 8 people. Probably a way to add to their profit from groups of elderly people on your buses. The food was mediocre at best. My 11-year-old got a kids burger ($6.00 = $7.05 with the family tax), and literally started crying when it was brought to us, as the portion was not even the size of a McDonald's cheeseburger and small fry. I switched with him and ate the smaller portion, giving him my "larger" burger, which was still on the small size, and not nearly what one would expect from a burger that cost $14 ($16.50 with the 18% family tax). Apart from the prices, the food also was not great. About the quality one would expect from a low-budget political fundraiser potluck or drive-through fast food. Definitely not restaurant quality. The restaurant recently changed its hours, so you can no longer eat dinner at the place. The staff does bring your food to your table when your order is ready. If you have never been to the restaurant before, however, be prepared to get your own drinks. I didn't know this, and went back to the register to report that we didn't get our drinks, and was told where to get the drinks for ourselves. The view from the seating area is spectacular, and there is outdoor patio seating if you want to go and find it. Directly beside the "Bridge of the Gods," the setting is idyllic. If only the business were run in a similar fashion, with quality and integrity. Unfortunately, Bridgeside Family Dining cannot be recommended. If you must stop, don't bring friends, or you'll be charged an extra 18%. read more

Had not been here in 20yrs. No surprise here, you order at the counter from a large menu hanging behind the cashier. After one places an order, you grab your silverware and napkin and head over to get your own coffee or other drink's including water. I've posted a picture from our table, beautiful view. Our omelette's were brought promptly to our table. Included with our eggs were crispy potatoes and 7 grain toast accompanied by what appeared to be homemade jam. Omelette's we're filled with spinach, sharp cheese and bacon, and we're very well prepared. I'd have given 5 stars but this isn't my favorite way to order. I like a menu to peruse, as I'm reading what's on the wall I get the feeling I'm holding up the line. Place was very clean, but we were there at 7:45 am. We'll be back, it's a nice early morning drive. read more

Breakfast was tasty and abundant. I ordered 2 sunny side up eggs over hash browns bacon and grain toast. Hash browns were crispy outside and well cooked, bacon thick and cooked just right a crisp and tender, grain toast thick and jam was with seeds and tasted homemade. Looking forward to tomorrow's breakfast. Great breakfast again and a good picture read more

A local recommended this place and it was awesome. You order at a counter, multiple awesome choices, get a number and pick a place to sit. We chose a booth with epic River views. The service was outstanding and food arrived quickly. Incredibly huge portions (I'm embarrassed to say we cleaned our plates) that were above expectations. I still remember that omelette and side of bacon...! Cute gift shop which also has a small bakery, that included marvelous fudge, and constantly had a line of locals. read more

Simple diner that's convenient if you're looking for food in the area. I'm came here with a friend after hiking dry creek falls just up the block. Not too busy for a morning crowd as we did get a booth, with a few tables still needing to be bussed. This is an order at the counter and find your seat style. I got the omelet of the gods and the portion size is quite generous. Friendly staff and the food wait wasn't long at all. Perfect brunch spot for hungry hikers! read more

Definitely come here for the view! The food is average but the VIEW! Spent a little while reading and relaxing.

The barista was so helpful and kind. Had good laughs and will definitely be back. Got a soda and the restaurant team member let me stop at a booth to get a bomb picture that unfortunately didn't save. Keep it up bridgeside team read more

Not a bad spot. But if you're looking for a burger, and have time to wait, Eastwind down the street is a better option.

Came here years ago just past the Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River by the bridge to Washington. Food is not fancy for this local place but both the fish and chip and BBQ pork sandwich was done right. The large bowl of chowder was good value too. We had two glass of their porter. read more

Not pretentious at all. Sort of an Everyday Folks kinda place that serves good food quickly. It's got one of the best views of the Columbia Gorge and especially the BotG bridge in that area. I've been coming to this location for decades (previous owners had a cafeteria style layout. Views and food have never disappointed me all these years. Today we split their salmon patty burger - they do their own salmon patty and it was very lightly fried (perhaps pan fried) but substantial. and without the fillers some places add. We're not big eaters so 1/2 the sandwich and splitting the fries that came with it was filling. read more

A great place to be for place for breakfast, brunch, lunch, snack, and dinner. To be honest, literally all the above. This place got everything, even their view by the windows is great you can see the waterfront. My first impression was that this place when you go in it is like a school cafeteria. Pretty classic and throwback, which I like. They have ton of great foods to choose from their menu. It was a hard decision to make. I end up getting their Country Fried Steak with Gravy! Huge portion and it turn out to be delicious!!! Not to mention that the gravy is what I liked the most. Whatever their secret recipe is. It is perfectly matched with the fried steak. I will be sure to be back here soon. read more

Would you like a Million Dollar view with your burger? Then Bridgeside, formerly Char Burger, is your place! The food is what one would expect at a roadside diner; it's the view that makes it spectacular. Nestled under the OR side of The Bridge of the Gods with views if the Bridge and Columbia River, it makes for a delightful spot to grab a bite and take in the gorgeous scenery. Since I drive to Hood River often, and always take WA hpHighway 15 there, Bridgeside is the perfect place to stop, refuel, and truth be told, to use the restroom! They also have a gift shop with awesome cookies and they are famous for their fudge. Service is always friendly and efficient; during Covid they are taking all precautions which means there are less tables available. For some reason they are only serving indoors; they haven't set up any outdoor seating. But there is plenty of space in between tables. The food is good and decent price, think diner menu: burgers, fish & chips, omelets, sandwiches, salads, meatloaf, soup - the list goes on and on! My go to is a bacon cheeseburger & fries served in a basket atop quaint red and white checked paper; you just can't go wrong! Delicious. A friend of mine always gets the milkshakes, which they are also famous for and their pie and ice cream. The decor is western and the woodwork amazing. Check out the bathroom doors and the metalwork. It's art. After a stop in the gift shop, I always take a quick stroll along the river on the walking/bike path and under the bridge to take in the lush surroundings and snap pics of this gorgeous scenery. You can also walk across the Bridge for even better views. The parking lot is huge and easy to get in and out of and back on the road to finish your journey. read more

Bridgeside is your typical American diner and their most appealing trait is their location next to the Bridge of the Gods. Come for the view, not the food. Covid Safety - This area is currently allowing indoor dining and I observe half capacity with every other table being available. Hand sanitizer station. Plexi glass at the cashier. Staff wears face masks and customers wear face mask until they are at their table eating. Salt and pepper packets provided. Ketchup is given in a disposable sauce container. At Bridgeside, you order and pay and the cashier and they give you a number for your table. My friend ordered the Chicken Fried Steak ($12) which comes with 8-grain toast and 2 eggs of your choice, in which she picked sunny side ups. I ordered Corned Beef-Hash 'N' Eggs ($11) which comes with 2 eggs of choice and I also opted for the sunny side up. Keep in mind I said sunny side ups!! Well please look at my photo. When the food came out I was so confused. Both of our orders eggs were completely cooked through. Being from California, I told my friend who is living in Oregon... is this an Oregon thing?? Plenty of jokes were made in regards to Oregon's lacking in Sunny-ness. A bit later one of the staff members came by to inform us that they dropped off the wrong order and this order belonged to someone. We were like ohhhhhhhhhhhh!! Makes sense... cause those not-sunny side ups were throwing me off. Also they dropped pancakes off at our table and the whole time my friend thought it was mine and I thought it was hers. Fail. Staff offered to make us sunny side ups but that would be to much food and we didn't want to be wasteful with food. My friend really enjoyed her food and finished her plate. I enjoyed my order a lot less. Other than my unsatisfactory egg, the corned beef was not flavored well and tough. I picked out the potato pieces and ate them, but they were quite mushy in the center and lacking crispiness of the edge. The bread came with jam and it was just ok... I really loved the bacon that came with the pancakes we didn't order. But cause of food handling safety they left us that plate. Neither of us liked pancakes though so it was an unfortunate waste. After breakfast, we walked over to take a closer look of the Bridge of Gods. That itself was worth the trip, but based on what I ate I wouldn't really promote their food. read more

Great stop on a road trip, beautiful views! Food was good and there was a cute little shop.

Large room with tall ceilings. You order at the counter and grab a seat. Service is friendly. It is sort of like diner food. Breakfast and lunch. I ordered the hot pastrami sandwich. It was delicious. Served on a toasted sourdough bun with hot pastrami, sautéed onions, and a dab of mustard. A side of crispy French fries. They have Smith tea, the green fez was tasty and just the right touch on a cold day. Yum yum read more

This is my go-to place when traveling along the gorge. It's cafeteria style with food you'd find in a diner. If you want healthy food this isn't the place for you. The seating has an incredible view of the Columbia and bridge. That's my main reason for stopping here. Very relaxing after a long drive. The staff is always pleasant. They do have fresh pastries. There's a little shop adjacent where you can find great greeting cards and gifts. Easy on and off from highway. Very picturesque. read more
