Our first time to The Dalles House Restaurant. We stopped in for lunch on a Saturday afternoon…read more When you enter through the front door, you enter into a large bar that looks into a beautiful courtyard. I noticed the bar has a stage for bands and room for a dance floor. As we walked in, the bartender asked if we were there for lunch at the supper club and walked us through the restaurant entrance to a hostess stand. The supper club is spacious with white tablecloths and old fashioned velvet chairs. It also looks out to the beautiful courtyard. Our server was Robyn who was very pleasant and attentive. We ordered cocktails to start. A Black Cherry Old Fashioned and a Raspberry Mojito. Both were under $10 and delicious. For lunch, I ordered the Dalles House Burger; Hand pattied burger with two cheeses, bacon, onion, lettuce, tomato, and thousand island dressing on the side $17.99. The flavors were good but I asked for it to be cooked to medium temperature and it was very well done. Disappointing. The fries were hot and crispy. My husband ordered the Fish Tacos. Three soft flour tortillas filled with crispy fried white fish, shredded cabbage, fresh pico de gallo, and a zesty cilantro lime aioli. Served with tortilla chips, sour cream, and salsa $17.99. He said the tacos were tasty but the tortilla chips tasted store bought. Despite my burger being overcooked, we did have a nice experience. We would like to try it again but for dinner.

We decided to meet for lunch and it was a very enjoyable experience. Robyn was our server - she was attentive and even took a moment to take our picture. I had the turkey BLT and my husband had the fish tacos. I liked the turkey BLT was in a spinach wrap- very tasty and a good sized portion. The fries were tasty too. Husband really enjoyed the fish tacos- he was a plate cleaner lol The view is pretty, you are not rushed, so it was an enjoyable afternoon. They do have a more casual bar area and it was quite busy. We also noted a pretty large banquet space too (200 people) Total bill for 4 meals and 4 drinks was $114. The brandy old fashioned's were $9 each and the margaritas were $12 each. We are now on a mission to try all the supper clubs!

Since this was our first time, we had no idea that it was a 'seat yourself' type of place and there were no signs indicating so. We stood at the door being stared at by the patrons and the employees. It took several minutes for someone to tell us we could sit wherever. Finally, our waitress stopped over, took our drink order, but because we weren't ready, she left. She didn't come back for more than 15 minutes. She did apologize, but it was far too long. Prices were reasonable and two specials were offered - our kinda place! My husband took part in one of those specials and ordered the country fried steak and eggs. I ordered the regular steak and eggs. We did substitute an order of toast for the Swedish pancakes (gotta!) It took a really long time for our food to come, which was disappointing. Food did come out hot and my husband was a big fan of the country fried steak. I didn't think the Swedish pancakes were anything I would HAVE to order a second time, but I'm glad we tried them. The hashbrowns were probably the highlight of breakfast. A waitress did stop by with a dum dum for kids, which was a cute added touch!

However, since it is a Swedish restaurant we decided to order the meatballs and lefse. Both had average flavor, but wasn't anything special. The gravy on the meatballs were under whelming. I don't think I would order them again but I definitely want to go back and try their breakfast.

Sis and I took a last-minute Thursday late afternoon roadtrip up Hwy 8 due to a FB Marketplace…read morepickup. It was dinnertime and I asked the Seller a restaurant they recommend in the area. She told us The Northern and to make sure to order the cheese curds. Looking at the menu before hitting the road again, sis and I knew the place was for us: burgers, sandwiches and wraps. Pulling into the parking lot was easy. Even though looked full, we were still able to find a spot. I want to note the gorgeous view of the red barn/farm across from the pond when pulling in. I noticed a patio on the North side of the building, which would put this farm in your view. We did have about a 20 minute wait for a table for 2. The restaurant looked busy from what I could see. Once we were brought to out table, I then noticed that the bar seating was pretty much open. Had I known, we might have elected to just sit at the bar. However, I asked for menus right away so that we could at least ponder it during that 20 minutes. We were sat at a high top right near the kitchen door. Being able to see all the food come out, I changed my mind on what I was going to order almost 10 times. We asked for the cheese curds as soon as we were greeted by our waitress. OMGosh! They were in the shape of cubes, deep fried to golden perfection. The outside had perfect firmness from the fryer. The inside was gooey, salty white cheese. Perfect just by itself. It did come with a ranch dipping sauce that was just so yummy. It reminded me a seasoned sour cream. The waitress didn't know the brand of the cheese curds (ie. Ellsworth) but did say the ranch was homemade Sis ordered the Great Northern Burger with French fries. She's a fan of BBQ sauce, bacon and onion rings on a burger. Fries were nicely seasoned, long, soft and semi-skin-on (not crinkle or steak fries). Burger was huge and worth the $15.99 price tag. I settled on the BOTM, the Nacho Burger, with tator tots. Toppings included nacho cheese, Fritos chips, bacon, diced/sliced jalapenos. The tator tots were one of the best I've ever had. Again, seasoned nicely. And the perfect ratio of hard outside crunch to soft inside potato. The Nacho burger was huge too....and messy with the nacho cheese. The Fritos did get a little soggy at the end. The bacon was under the melted cheese. And there were plenty of jalapenos hidden under the meat patty. Those were easy to discard so I could control how many fiery peppers were in my mouth at one time. Was service slower than normal? Yes. Was the service friendly? Yes. Was it worth the wait? Also YES! I would definitely recommend (I already have to my coworkers.) for anyone who loves gourmet burgers. They also have a nice variety to the sandwich, wraps, tacos and flatbread menu. I will just have to take the 40 minute drive again to try something else.
