Great service, great drinks, and the best pizza I've had in decades!…read more The beers Backwoods makes are all delicious and smooth-drinking. The service staff was all exceptional. But the pizza! Off the charts!, FULL REVIEW of all Services: If anyone who enjoys hiking, river fishing, or just a general outdoor-focused vacation wants a good, simple getaway with their spouse/loved one, check out the Backwoods brand in Carson, Washington (just north-northeast of Bridge of the Gods/Cascades Locks). Backwoods Cabins offers a really great overnight stay option. The 8 cabins there are all basic "two-room" designs (bedroom and attached bathroom, and a living room / mini-kitchen room). The cabins sport king-sized beds, a gas fireplace and outdoor fire, a mini kitchen with refrigerator/freezer and microwave (no stove/range). I think 3 of the 8 cabins welcome dogs. The Backwoods brand also owns Backwoods Brewery, which is just across the road from the cabin property. They have great microbrew beers (from light lagers to GREAT stouts!). The brewery also has a smokehouse, with fantastic smoked brisket, pulled pork, and house-made sausage/brats. But even better, the Backwoods Brewery offers the BEST PIZZA I've had in decades. The pizza dough is a perfect balance of flavor and texture. It's not too thin and not too thick. The crust is chewy in the middle, with a great crusty edge and base. The red sauce (they also have a white sauce we didn't try) is thick and rich, with a few tomato chunks. It's got a slight spicy bite with a sweet finish. They also have some unique house pizzas. We tried the Whistle Punk - Red sauce, bacon, smoked brisket, peppadew peppers, sweet onions, fresh mozzarella rounds - and the Pepperoni Express - Red sauce, pepperoni, mushrooms, tomatoes, banana peppers, smoked mozzarella. Both were outstanding. I'd go so far as to say both Donna and I deemed these the best pizzas we've had in 35+ years (noting that our first date was at a pizza joint in Fife we both thought was the best-ever pizza). If you stay in the Backwoods Cabins, you get two coupons for free drinks at the brewery (beer/wine/cider/cocktails) as well as an assortment of snacks for your hiking adventures, and a full S'mores kit to use over the gas fire pit. And if you are in a dog-friendly cabin, you get complimentary treats, and water/food bowls for your canines.

Gluten free review:…read more Came here after a hike because I believe in balance, climb a hill, eat a pizza. Thrilled they had gluten-free options. Tried the Tree Hugger 10" GF pizza and it was genuinely tasty. The crust? So good. The staff? Kind. The price? About $20, which felt a little "ouch," but the pizza did not, and that's what matters. The place was fun and great ambiance. Take a fun trip and go try this place out.

This three egg sausage omelette consisted of one singular sausage link. This lonely singular individual sausage had been sliced and diced into 4 pieces and GENEROUSLY sprinkled inside my omelette with peppers and onions. The sausage in this Omelette had me feeling as if I had Gone fishing. "Ya catch anything?" No! Few bites here and there. Overall, the omelette wasn't bad, but I do expect a $20 omelette to represent its worth. Served with toast and hash whites ... I mean hash browns. These hash browns were definitely more of ... clash browns . Stale, soggy,and unpleasant.. just like the missing sausage this hash was missing the brown and crispy desirable and necessary elements. The next item up forbid was the breakfast sandwich!!! For I did not order this sandwich nor did I try it being the lack of quantity and volume of sandwich. But....GIRL!!! she was dainty and dry like sausage she was all alone. Like a lonely, single child with no siblings to play with à la carte. No sides.. again lacking representation of price the sandwich needed a PR team. Winner winner, chicken dinner, THE PANCAKE!!! For I did not order those pancakes either, but I did have a bite being that there were two pancakes à la cart with no sides, consisting of coconut and pineapple. Best pancake I've ever had. Wildly overpriced... One cup of Baileys and coffee One milkshake- The shake had this shaved ice quality about it. Little ice shards throughout it with each sip. Outside seating was nice with multiple extra large picnic tables to choose from next to a little creek of water. Service was fine. When I mentioned to the cashier that the price seems like highway robbery he met me with a defensive response and found it very unappreciated and told me that they are the end of the road. And each individual does get a menu to look at. No His response was unusual and interesting to think about and interpret. Does you're the end of the road mean you can charge and put out any quality for any price and it's all good because you're at the end of the road and the only option? I understand tough times /economy/price of goods/profit margins. But price should represent what you receive. If you like casinos or playing cards this is the place for you. It's definitely a gamble!

Giving this a 3 mostly based on food (which is closer to a 5) and how cute the restaurant is, but…read moreconsidered giving it a 2 for the experience we had. We were a group of 5 trying to get Sat on a Saturday night. They gave us an estimated wait time of an hour but encouraged us to try their takeout option because it would be "faster" and we could take it to eat by the water. This sounded like a great idea so we went around back and found a food truck and kiosk. The food truck did slices or 15inch pizzas so we decided to try the kiosk (they had 11in pizzas). This was probably the wrong decision. They had a waitress who also had an entire section running the kiosk. She was intermittently available and pretty unhelpful. They tack on a 15% required gratuity which feels like there isn't incentive for her to handle the orders well. We each did our own orders and they don't text you when your order is ready (we all got our texts 20 minutes after we picked up our food) so we just stood in the parking lot waiting for our food. When it was finally up, she didn't yell the names very loudly so we had to pay close attention to who had ordered before us. Once we got our food (after 40-45 minutes) I then waited another 10 minutes for the lemonade I ordered. A man said he was going to look for it and never came back so the waitress eventually went and got it herself after she took care of a couple of her tables and began bussing another. The food quality was excellent. We got the mozzarella sticks which were huge, well seasoned and had the best cheese pull. The fries with truffle were incredible and fresh. They were very flavorful and garlicky. The aioli it came with added to it perfectly. Finally, we got 3 different pizzas. They were baked well and had plenty of toppings. I would recommend trying their food but do yourself a favor and get a reservation.

Impressive vegan options! More so than most pizza joints!…read moreI'd say they are around the rovente level. Pizza was good 7/10, but skimpy on the toppings.

Ask specifically at least three times that we wanted tomatoe slices on both sandwiches. Neither had tomatoes. More on this under service. Both, regular customer eaters, said "something is missing" as the sandwiches tasted "tastsless" from the past. The lettuce, mayo mixture seemed to have no mayo and no flavor. Positive: the fries were excellent and so was the lemonaid. Serivce: NONE Asked for a couple slices of tomato and was told I could only get that if I paid for a side dish! I was too blown away to even argue. If the server, with a bad attitude, could not spare two slices of tomato (even if I was wrong) to keep a life long customer (50 years) and a good review, then something is seriously going wrong with this business. No one ever came by our table and asked if we needed anything, boxes, drink refills, nothing. NO SERVICE Ambiance: everything we expected and we are pleased with it.

Their $5.50 lunch special includes one large slice of pizza with a choice of two toppings from their generous list which includes specialty items like smoked oysters, jalapeños and artichoke hearts. In addition, the special includes the drink of your choice! Our plan was to grab a quick bite to eat so we could power through to dinner, but because the lunch special was so robust, we ended up delaying dinner by several hours. The restaurant is located on the highway going through the center of town, offers ample parking, and is staffed by friendly folks. I highly recommend this place if you're driving through Bingen.

We ate at a nice picnic table outside under an umbrella. We'll definitely be back.
