    Nice aesthetic

    I don't come here often, but every time I do it's such a great experience. Good service, great beers.

    Reuben Sandwich

    I almost did not write a review for Mazama Brewing as the restaurant was enduring tough challenges last night. We showed up at 5:00, and there was only thee people at the bar. My wife and I chose not to go to Portland due the snow issue. They decided to close the kitchen and closed early due to the storm. Natalie, who has taken care of us previously is tremendous. She is friendly and very engaging. I am not sure of the kitchen staffing last night, but my Reuben was black on the outside from being over grilled. Then I realized it was $21 plus $1 for fries? The website does state that it may not reflect actual pricing or items. But $22? I used the website for my ordering, as it stated the Reuben was $17, and I would have ordered something else. It was not worth $22. My wife's Mac & Cheese was supposed to be vegetarian, but she found several pieces of bacon in it??? C'mon...be more careful. This visit was 5 stars for service and beverages, 1 star for food.

    The Deadline Pilsner from Mazama Brewing.

    Mazama Brewing was a brewery that Steve and I recently paid a visit to. I appreciated their broader hours of operation as quite a few breweries weren't open yet in the area as we were out and about on the earlier side of the afternoon. We didn't get any food here and just had one round of beers. Unfortunately we weren't too impressed with them. I got the Deadline Pilsner. Pilsners are often a "go to" for me right next to lagers. However the Pilsner I had kind of had an odd aftertaste that I couldn't pit my finger on. Steve had something similar with his beer also when I took a sip of it. He confirmed his tastebuds detected the same. We never could put our finger on what it was but it didn't fit the beers at all. Despite that other flavor features with the Pilsner are clean, floral, hoppy and a hint of spice. The beer is light bodied which was great for the hot summer day going on. We just wished the beers were more memorable and minus the oddly placed aftertaste. Service was alright but was sluggish at times despite the place being empty. Only two other small parties of diners were there besides us.

    Mazama 'Brewing' acts as more than just a brewery. I couldn't tell you how refreshing it was to have an ice-cold beer or how their brews tasted- because I'm not a beer drinker and it wasn't that kinda party. This place actually saved the day nicely when my daughter tried to treat us for an early Brunch elsewhere and that wait was an hour. Greeting was good. Seated right away. Small menu- but equipped with the right goods. Cement pillars, high ceilings and ample floor space. From hubs' Fried Chicken+bacon sandwich, Veggie Omelette my daughter and I had and her partner's French Toast- it was good. This place seemed like the underdog that morning we came here and kick-started our day just right.

    It's in a really cute development of apartments and townhomes and shopping right there. There's a really nice patio area and that's where we sat since we had the dog with us. On a hot summer day in OR, it was perfect. Don't let the counter service fool you - this place has really great food. It's a smaller menu, but what they do have is done well. The fried pickles are good, but I am nursing my palate behind my front teeth because they were nuclear (temp) hot. I had the Sweet Potato Sandwich (add grilled chicken) and holy crap it was delicious. While it could have had a bit more arugula, it was probably one of the most inventive things I've ever had, and they were pretty accommodating with the meat addition. We also had the bacon jam burger which is very good but messy, and a large salad with chicken. I think my dinner won, but overall it was a nice meal. The beer is very different from upper Washington, where most of my beer drinking occurs. There are your requisite IPAs, but they had four (count 'em, FOUR) Belgians on the menu. That never happens! I got the dubbel, which was the darkest beer on the menu - no stouts or porters here - and while it was pretty high ABV, it was one of the lightest I've ever had. I was also able to try the amber and the pilsner, which were both very thirst quenching in the 88* heat. Service is pretty good - they don't rush you and when we asked for something it came out fairly quickly. Go and people watch, enjoy a beer, and kick back. You deserve it.

    Brunch Bloody Mary!
    Zachary R.

    So far Mazama has been hitting all the marks! It has very quickly become a regular stop during or after a busy week. I've made my way through several of the food items on the menu and each one was really good. They have a decent burger and Bloody Mary too! The beer is delicious, local and worth a taste of you haven't had the pleasure. When I think of a fun local spot with great view and atmosphere I end up here. Plenty of space and not too loud. I like to sit at the bar overlooking the plaza in the evening, especially when it's rainy outside. It has a cozy fun feel that I haven't found in a lot of other places. You could sit and watch the Orenco Station hustle and bustle from your warm seat while unwinding from a long day with a cold drink and warm snack. Glad to have found Mazama and I'll be here regularly. Thanks Mazama!

    I want to love Mazama... but so far I just don't. They get really busy so they must be doing something right for a lot of people, and I don't entirely disagree. The food is good, in a salty greasy craveable but tummyache-inducing way. Which is sometimes what you want, right? I just know both times I've eaten there, I've felt like I needed a shower and some vinegar. Heavy hard-to-digest food that tastes good for the first two bites and then you have big regrets.... Beer selection is okay, could have more variety. Service is okay, nothing special. Yeah, a solid 3 stars for me, wishing it was just a little better....

    fried pickles
    Stephanie S.

    Unexpectedly amazing food. I did not have high expectations for how quality their food was but, it blew me away. We got the burger, reuben, and fried pickles. Fried pickles were tasty but would have preferred small slivers because the fried casing quickly fell apart as we ate them and they had a similar temperature to the surface of the sun so they were quite difficult to eat. The burger- they knocked out of the park, everything was fresh and the whole thing was the perfect size. I always appreciate when beer places have salad as a side option. The reuben was tasty but lacked any substantial meat, it had a very thin layer of meat which left us wanting more. The beer was relatively well priced and was super great! The service was probably the most eh thing about this spot, it was order at the host stand kind of deal but sometimes she would come around to tables and take orders so we were confused. We spent over two hours here because of this confusion and the servers inability to communicate directly how it worked but she was too busy helping others to even take our order. Nonetheless, they were kind and the weird system was not their fault. Maybe it was a one time fluke! This is a great place to enjoy the weather and people watch at Orenco Station. Seems like they have game nights and specials making it a a grand hangout spot.

    Sweet potato sandwich and fries and cider

    First time here. Stopped over for lunch with friends who had been prior and loved it. Place has nice outdoor and indoor dining. Friends ordered a beer flight, bratwurst and Risotto and said all was delicious. I ordered the cider which was amazing and the grilled sweet potato sandwich which was also quite tasty. The 4 instead of 5 is because their vegetarian options are very limited and they literally only have one cider option. Workers were very friendly and attentive. Overall I liked it. Thanks.

    We stopped in last night for the first time around 6pm. They were quite slow, 2 tables finishing up inside and one on the patio. I've got no idea how things were prior to covid, but the setup currently is very casual...there's a sign outside to seat yourself, as well as QR code cards to reach the menu placed on the tables. After waiting a few minutes and noticing no one was coming to take our order, we glanced around and spotted another card on a nearby table that stated to go to the counter to place an order. We actually only saw one employee covering all aspects of the front...he took our order at the counter, ran the bar, brought out our food...until we were leaving, at which point we saw one other. Although very pleasant, the service is very much counter service only, as no one came back after the food was brought to the table. The food itself was pretty good. We ordered a chicken banh mi sandwich with fries and a fish n chips. The flavor was pretty good on both meals: smaller fish pieces with heavy breading but loads of fries. Our only real complaint with the meal was the fries...way too heavy handed on the salt for us. The indoor seating area was a tad messy, crumbs around. But clearly running on minimal staff I guess that's not too surprising. Could be better, but overall a decent meal.

Because it's somewhat hidden in the corner of a Safeway shopping plaza. Look for the Baskin Robbins or Wells Fargo ATM and your find it. Like other reviews, when busy, parking can be a bit horrendous. But in hindsight, I'm not gonna reduce a star just because of location. * Bar Food Menu & Dining * Their menu starts with shareable bites, like a pretzel, tacos, quesadilla, loaded nachos, and even a charcuterie plate. Slightly larger dishes would be their Cubano and Brisket Press sandwiches. They even have a few choices for soup and salads, and a couple of dessert items listed. Don't forget to check the chalkboard next to the bar for specialty dishes and drinks. As for dining-in, they've got sturdy wooden tables that can accommodate 4-8 people. Bar stools by the windows, and a fairly large outside patio area. And with the times I've been here, I've never seen a dirty table. Very well maintained (two thumbs up). A few TV monitors showing the game, but its not like a noisy sportsbar. * Drinks & Services* You've got your choice of craft beers that rotate like a standard tap room. They also have tasty seasonal cocktails, but their normal everyday cocktails are just as good. And if you're gonna have a charcuterie board, then you've got to offer a wine list option right? Well they got that too! One last thing to mention, they've got some top-shelf bourbon and whiskey. The 649 is a bar that offers it all! Service has also been welcoming and top-notch. I recall only been served by Rich, Steven, and Crystal, but they always seem to craft up some lovely cocktails. Or deliver some clean tasting everyday type of bar food as well. * Last Call * Normally in my reviews, I'd list every item that I've tried, with price included. But The 649 is such a unique type of bar experience that I feel you should try for yourself; To me, their offerings are reasonably priced. Dining in is nothing fancy, but service is excellent. It's a great hangout for a business date, of even after a first date. I've got nothing but love for local support!

I normally grab food in Imbrie Hall, which is a two story A frame building. You can grab a seat the bar downstairs, score a booth in the downstairs perimeter or sneak upstairs to take it all in from a well appointed perch. Each option is uniquely wonderful. The beer on tap does rotate every month. You can't go wrong with the Ruby if you want something light, or the Hammerhead is just as solid in a different way. Want to try something fun and seem like you're in the know? Order a 'rubber head,' which is a mixture of the two. I love walking by the Little White Shed at night as I wander through the property. There is something about the smell of juniper wood burning and the options for gathering that beckon me to stop and meander for a while. I need to spend time there more often. Ultimately, it's McMenamins. It's whimsical, the beer is plentiful and the service is consistently going to be just slightly above average. However, when you look at this location distinctly, you see appeal in the property itself, the uniqueness of the different food and beverage concepts, and enjoy the easy access to the freeway. Check it out and make sure you linger long enough to spend some time at the Little White Shed. You won't regret it.
