Don't let their unassuming location fool you! This brewery…read moreserved up THE BEST "chopped" salad of my life! It's called the Wasco Chopped Salad & the fresh lettuce is rather difficult to find under the plethora of amazing & delicious toppings: bacon, egg slices, diced tomato, and the most tender & perfectly-seasoned chicken breast! Every single bite was more yummy stuff than filler lettuce! And the blue cheese dressing was THE BEST- super thick & creamy & didn't overpower the salad. The only complaint we have is we needed more dressing;) This salad was SO good I had for leftovers the next day & it was just as amazing as the night before! We also ordered the Fried Pickles with our choices of ranch & garlic aoli dipping sauces. The pickles were huge spears coated in a crunchy batter! The only complaint about these guys were we couldn't wait for them to cool & almost burnt our mouths;) We also ordered the Pretzel Bites with our choices of mustard & beer cheese sauce. The server gave us a sample of the Dill Pickle Gose beer & wow! We were nervous about drinking dill pickle beer, but this had a refreshing pickle taste! So much so that we took a 4-pack home!

It's cast iron facade and brick kept it from burning down... and its captivating story saved it from getting torn down. The food options vary with the kitchen staffing. There is a classic bar with a pool table, booth seating, and a patio. Music might be coming. The pizza is good and the cocktails superb... sipping a "Lost in Mexico" while checking out the dozens of almost as old western oils covering the walls is something special.

After a long day of driving my wife found Hot Point Chinese Restaurant on Yelp and based on the…read morereviews we tried it. My family of five enjoyed their soups, their appetizers and the entrees. We eat very good Chinese food on a nearly weekly basis. My kids (19, 15, 10) stated that if this restaurant was local to us it would be our new favorite. The meats and vegetables were all fresh and tasty. Always a great sign. Exceptional service and attention to the customer by each member of their staff, my family felt welcomed, nourished and relaxed. After so many mediocre experiences over a 16 day, nearly 5 thousand mile road trip these folks really hit a home run with our family. If you find yourself anywhere near The Dalles do yourself a favor and enjoy their great food and hospitality. Food portions were great (and leftovers travelled home and were promptly consumed). Price is right. Highly recommend.

First review, but second meal! Both times we've been greeted…read moreby very friendly staff & were seated right away- usually by one of the ginormous picture windows overlooking the Columbia River! For an appetizer, we ordered the Chicken Cordon Bleu Bites. These very well could be a meal in & of themselves! They were amazing, little, round balls of heaven! Translated- this means perfectly crunchy-coated, tender chicken, ham, & melty cheese balls that we dipped in a luscious honey mustard sauce! Our entrees were the Mac & Cheese & Cajun Fried Chicken, both served with side salads & fresh, warm bread. The Mac & Cheese had just the perfect amount of jalapeño spice & smoky bacon bits with perfectly-cooked pasta, and a rich, velvety cheese sauce! The Cajun Chicken also had the right amount of heat, delicious cream sauce, and perfectly tender chicken with the most amazing crunchy coating! And, the sausage dressing gave the dish a fantastic comfort-food feel! We will return!
