It was already in the to go box. The only bummer was that the bottom piece of bread was kind of soggy. So my best suggestion is to eat it there and when it arrives turn it over so one side of the bread dos not get too soggy. As always the service is really nice!!

It's right off Marine Drive and literally floats on the water a relaxed atmosphere , good drinks, casual food, and lots of friendly faces. It gets packed, especially on sunny weekends, but that's part of the energy. The drinks are strong, the seafood is decent (nothing gourmet, but hits the spot), and the view is unbeatable. You'll probably see a few smelly ducks drifting by only adds to the character. Now there is a bit of a downside.The ramp down is steep and a bit of a hike, especially on the way back up.

Placed order off breakfast menu at 11:47, but was told, "Sorry, the kitchen already transitioned to the lunch menu. STRIKE ONE. At 12:22still waiting for food. We're told that the kitchen is "a bit behind." We're offered a bowl of chowder. We were under the impression this was complementary because of the delay. Nope, we later find we were charged. At 12:30, three two-tops that arrived after us were served starters. STRIKE TWO. At 11:44, our food arrived. Shrimp salad - lots of shrimp, but we have no silverware. I go to find a fork from kitchen. Halibut tacos.-- grilled, but bland and little to no seasoning. Teriyaki salmon tacos -- s are lemon is chopped to consistency of cat food and swimming in very wet teriyaki sauce, AND topped with MUCH mayo sauce. Can't even taste the salmon. Hands fun, the worst tacos I've had after 26 years in Oregon. STRIKE THREE. Also, they allow dogs on the deck. Tables are close on the water, so we were front toe for two large ones barking at each other throughout our meal. STRIKE FOUR. I'm giving one star because the server was pleasant. Otherwise, avoid this disorganized kitchen and amateur-hour pub fare at all costs.

Portland always wants to overdo fucking everything…read more Want a sandwich? Have this spent-grain roll, locally sourced cheese, farm raised ham, and lettuce, tomato, and onion that we grew on the roof topped with hand-pressed olive oil and spent-Pinot Noir vinegar. That'll be $25. Want to play some pinball? Pay this $3 cover and bring a bunch of quarters, load up a card that only works here, or pay a one-time fee of $23 to play as much as you want. Want to eat on a patio? Go to one of these tables we've wedged behind a dive bar or go into the lobby of this residential building/music venue, find the elevator and hope you counted the floors to that roof deck just right. I love Sit Tite because it's just fucking easy. It's open all week, it keeps the pinball up front and just takes quarters and bills, it gives me chicken parm when I want it, it has a good coffee cocktail when I have the money for it and $3 Rainier when I don't, and it basically has a giant dining room out back. Sit-Tite's menu could've warranted a full dining room, wait staff... the whole nine. But I'm glad there's one fucking place in this town where I can just put an order in, play some pinball, have above-bar-quality food waiting for me when I get back, and just enjoy a night outside. Yes, there are nights when the chicken parm's too much of a mess and I swing over to the hot Italian or fried mozzarella, but Sit Tite never tries to make my life worse by doing things "better."

We ordered the fried ravioli, and fried Brussels, raviolis were meh, they tasted like they were air fried, they need to be deep fried. The sun-dried tomato fondue lacked flavor, would have done better with a Mariana dipper. Fried Brussels were good though! Bang for your buck on those 2 foods we ordered, we cross referenced the prices for the other items listed on the happy hour and normally shrimp tacos were $13 and on HH they're $12....not much of a deal. I've been here once before and I forgot about it as it lacked luster, I unfortunately won't be back again. Server, Ken, was good about checking in, although not much of small talk, seemed to talk to just people he knew, didn't really add to ambiance.

The grilled trout with zarandeado marinade is memorable ... wonderful flavor! The burgers are good, but not necessarily a knock out that stands above other places. I tried their salmon fish and chips. It's the PNW so salmon makes good sense, and I love salmon, but I discovered that the flavor profile of salmon isn't quite right for a battered and fried fish dish like white fish are. I've had only one truly disappointing experience. I had a light appetite so I ordered their Beet and Citrus salad. I declined any protein to be added. For $18 I received a large platter with the salad literally taking up ONE HALF side of the platter as if something else was supposed to be served beside it. The chef could've easily proportionalized the size of the salad and balanced it on the plate so it looked like a complete meal. Instead, what I got almost felt like the chef was telling me that I should've ordered something else with it.

This review is mostly for the new BBQ inside Tough Luck. (Lil' Barbecue)…read more It is absolutely, outrageously good. Even the damn Cole slaw is fresh and light and crisp. They offer two sauces, a gold Carolina sauce, and the more traditional sauce folks may be familiar with. In particular: they offer a $10 pimento burger that comes with a side and is oozing with cheese. Mondays only! I tried the brisket, the sausage, the chicken thighs, the ribs (literally meat fell off the bone as I picked it up), and the pulled pork. Yeah Ive been there 3 times in the past month. That's when I knew I had to write a review. THANK YOU, AUSTIN. This is the new gold standard in PDX. PS: bartenders are friendly and the the kitchen staff is nice too. Really a 10/10. Ok fine, if I'm forced to complain about something it would be that they only carry RC cola.

We've been going to Tough Luck for a few years now but with the menu revamp featuring Lil BBQ it's become OVER THE TOP good. It's the type of thing where you start to plan your next visit before you've even left. The BBQ is THAT good. Also, the service: fully staffed, which is such a rarity these days. Everyone's doing their part to keep this place running smoothly, and they're super friendly too - another thing that seems to be going extinct in Portland (30 year resident). Well, there, I said it. This place is a hidden gem. I'll guess now I'll have to join you in the line.

The inside space is reminiscent of a standard dive bar. It reminds me of the old days when people could still smoke inside in Portland! I opted to sit in one of the outdoor alcoves and it was very cozy. The picnic table bench had been wired so that the seat was heated. The server was really kind and offered to turn on the fire feature that was located on top of the table. Despite it being very cold outside, it was plenty cozy. The server made a drink recommendation, and I indulged. Overall, I was really impressed by the elaborate thoughtfulness of the outdoor space and pleasantly surprised by the exceptional service that accompanied my visit.

First they hide the entrance around back, instead of having it on the main street of Lombard, if…read moreyou don't know you end up walking around three quarters of the building twice. Secondly, during my visit there was only one server to cover the large main room as well as the popular outdoor patio, making getting any kind of real service unlikely. This is not the fault of the server, but management for not having an additional server. Every time I wanted to talk with the server about the menu, or ask any type of questions, the server always seemed too busy to help me, and was generally abrupt and disinterested in offering assistance. If you want my business please hire additional and more courteous staff. Additionally the place is very dark inside, making reading the menus, with very tiny type fonts, very difficult. Please use a larger type font, maybe print on both sides of the menu to allow for larger type fonts.

I found them because they host many food popups. This was Carly's Diner. They publish their popup schedule on their socials. They have outdoor canopy seating an a large space inside. They have a good tap list, wine, bottles and cans. Bottles and cans, including wine, are take out too, so they are a bottle shop. The staff was great and things move fast. They had 2 screens with sports. I do subtract a star for the seats. Seats are expensive and a business needs a lot. They standardized on some industrial metal ones with no backs, stools, high and low. Even the window seats don't really have much to lean back against. Mayfly is a neighborhood spot, a block from Kenton's main street with a great neighborhood community, a large variety of drinks, to-go, and food popups. It's on the MAX light rail too.
