WOW. The food was so good here. And the views!!! We got a table right by the window and were able to overlook the mountains. I appreciated that we were able to switch tables (originally we were seated farther away but asked to move closer to the window). Our servers were moderately friendly. The real star of the show were the meatballs and Marionberry grilled cheese. They were so tasty! My friend described the meal as "indulgent" and a "delicacy". The interior decoration of the restaurant was obviously cabin-themed since it's inside a ski resort. I'd be curious to see if it was more festive around Christmas time. read more

Came here after doing a couple hour hike on Mount Hood next door. We came here because there wasn't a wait. I had the berry and brie grilled cheese with potato chips, daughter had the picante macaroni and cheese. She really enjoyed her dish and everyone at the table really liked how fresh the potato chips were - they must be made at the restaurant. My berry and brie grilled cheese had really good bread, very filling as well. It's located on the third floor so there are some nice views from the windows outside. Even though we ordered an appetizer, everything was still all brought out at the same time. Staff was friendly, so overall a good experience. read more

Came on the perfect day to experience 1st snow at the Timberline Lodge. Fireplace as you enter lodge. Ram's Bar is on the 3rd floor above the restaurant. We got there just before 11am so we were the 2nd group to wait to be seated. The window view was really nice since this was the 1st visit to the lodge for one person in our party. It had started snowing as we parked so it was cool watching the snow. Drinks were enjoyed by everyone. The food was good. I only got pictures of 2 dishes. We were hungry so the other 2 were doved into before I could snap a picture. I had the meatballs. They were perfect with the bread, not overly sweet. There was a few flies around the window where I sat so it was making me anxious until I smooshed the one that kept coming towards my drink. This and our impatient waitress was reason for one less star. Despite this, I would come again. read more

My cousin and I recently had dinner here after being evacuated from a wildfire in the Columbia River Gorge. We set up camp down the road at Sherwood Campground, and then drove up to the Timberline Lodge so she could see the views from the front balcony (which are incredible). By the time we arrived to the lodge, the Ram's Head Bar was the only thing left open, so, even though neither one of us was drinking, we decided to eat here. We asked for a table with a view, and the host did not disappoint us. He even walked around the whole upper floor to make sure he was giving us the best available table. We had a view facing the top of Mt Hood. We split the Maple Bourbon Bacon Meatballs and the Timberline Stout Mac and Cheese. We loved the mornay sauce on the mac and cheese, and the bread crumbs baked on top. The cavatappi was perfectly cooked. The meatballs were yummy, but tasted nothing like maple, bacon, or bourbon. My cousin and I both agreed that they tasted like nothing but salt. We joked that they were meant to be split by a group because there was enough salt in them for at least six people. Even though we were very hungry, the two dishes ended up being more than enough food for the two of us. We weren't able to finish all of the meatballs and gravy, but we did polish off the mac and cheese. The host and server were both great, and we loved the ambiance so much. The Timberline Lodge is on the National Register of Historic Places for its design and architecture. Overall the prices are actually kind of reasonable considering the ambiance and the fact that the food probably has to be trucked in from very far away. Although I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again, I thought the food was decent for a park lodge bar. read more

Rams Head Bar - Mac and cheese and meatballs - Bars Near Me - Timberline Lodge, Oregon

Rams Head was pretty good. The drive up was nice, and the setting was fantastic. We headed upstairs and it took about 5 minutes to get seated. The server took a while to get to our table and actually tended to tables that were seated after us before even coming to get our drink order. We decided to have some drinks and appetizers. The street corn is a cold dish and was pretty mediocre. The olive plate was tasty. The hot cider drink was probably the highlight. Great setting, decent food, meh service. read more

Go for the beautiful ambiance--nothing compares to it. My $22 chicken curry salad was good but the stout Mac and cheese was served romp temperature. It tasted good but it would have been great hot. The service was slow and scattered. Know that you're going to pay extra for lunch in this historic, stunning lodge. For us, it was a fair trade. We'll likely be back for drinks in the future. read more

6 mo ago I was Celebrating Peppers first year birthday with her first ride to Timberline. Rams Head is on The second floor and the big windows overlooking the north displayed a beautiful view of the mountain. Food was great, delicious and pleasingly displayed. The service was spot on. Everything was wonderful. Not crowded that day, and the views were spectacular. Right in the middle of awesome ride, couldn't ask for anything more. Well, maybe a beautiful companion, eh? read more

Definitely great place to dine minus the 3% required added gratuity on the bill. Just price it into the food instead of making it a BS add on. Heaven forbid we price food for what it actually costs to pay the staff. This needs to stop and unless it changes, it's going to slash my rating My dad ordered the prime rib sandwich and found it very tasty. I had the chickpea masala which was surprisingly good for a non-ethnic food place. We ordered the fruit crisp for desert and it feeds 4 honestly we had leftovers after. The staff was very nice but service was a little bit slow dining from 445 to 630p. But overall great and would dine again with a number of tasty vegetarian options and absolutely gorgeous sunset views read more

This restaurant is absolutely gorgeous, how come it has such a low rating?? We were seated without a wait and food came out quickly. My Tuscan pasta tasted amazing - very rich in sauce and flavor. Best thing about this place is, of course, the Mountain View - especially if you get the right table. read more

Stopped by the Bar for lunch at 12:50pm, about half the tables full. Ordered a cup of Tomato soup and the artichoke dip appetizer... shouldn't take long, right? I sat for 30 minutes waiting for the cup of soup. Flagged down my server, Heather, asked if she could just bring me the soup now and appetizer whenever it was ready. She said sure. 15 minutes later, still no soup. 5 minutes after that, my soup and appetizer plate arrive. Heather asks me if everything is ok, I say no, this took over a half hour. She apologized said she was busy with other tables and she would have the manager stop by. The soup was fine, but the artichoke dip had almost no artichokes and was a creamy mess, so salty, I couldn't eat it, as much as I wanted to. Of course no manager stopped by, so I found him myself, who said it should have never taken that long and comped the meal (which I appreciated). At that point I'd been there an hour. The great ambiance and views don't make up for the bad service and bad food. read more

Rams Head Bar - ARTICHOKE & FETA DIP, does this look appetizing to you?? Really salty too. - Bars Near Me - Timberline Lodge, Oregon

Service : I came to this establishment for years. It is the worst experience I had. It was not busy. We got seated at 7:05 pm . The restaurant may be about 80% full. I didn't get any service for the order taken till 7:35 pm. And my 8:12 pm. I was still waiting for our dinner orders: spinach salad with strawberries and a Mac and cheese entree. I wish I could give them a negative review. Ambiance is historic. Nothing can beat that . I really really want them to thrive. But what would they want to do things differently. The option is very limited at the lodge. read more

Pretty positive they don't want you there. Twice we got nagged at for not describing our party makeup and then handing the check to the wrong person. We are not wait staff experts but they made sure to scold us for it. And then for the volume of people seated in the restaurant it takes a loooong time to receive service and food. Food is just ok. Not worth it. read more

This was perhaps one of the best restaurants I've been to. The views are STUNNING and having a hot whiskey apple cider after a cold day is perfect. The food itself was delicious and worth every penny. It wasn't pricey surprisingly. Service was great and I felt so cozy in there. read more

Nice atmosphere, drinks were good. Service was very very very slow. I received the prime rib dip sandwich with a cup of soup for $29 and the bread was moldy. Kinda ruined the mood for me. It took about 20 minutes to receive a replacement sandwich. I sat there with an empty drink and no follow up. The replacement sandwich was chewy and unappetizing. I had another drink to try and forget about it, luckily I only had to wait another 40 min for the check. I won't eat here again but I hope you have a much better experience than my wife and I. read more

Brought friends from the east coast to Timberline, a hotel on the National Historical Register and filled with so much history and architectural detail. We had already hiked around Trillium Lake and worked up an appetite so stopped at Rams Head Bar on the 2nd floor for the views and some food. Service was slow, they are definitely understaffed as of this writing. At least when our drinks came it made the long wait for the food more bearable. The stars of the orders were the opened face albacore tuna sandwich topped with peppers. It was flavorful and very filling. As was the Caprese sandwich served on ciabatta. My friend who ordered the elk sausage said it was fantastic. Unfortunately me and another friend ordered the Italian sandwich and it was barely edible. Served on a thick baguette that was stale and dry, I couldn't get it down. Just a few slices of meat, tomato, and two pieces of spinach it was far from satisfying. But I was hungry! So I ordered a side salad which was a bowl of fresh spinach and one single olive with oil and vinegar bottles brought to the table. I discarded the top of baguette, added lots of spinach drizzled with oil & vinegar to add needed moisture and flavor, and did my best to get some of it down. For $22, it was dismal. All the sandwiches were served with a huge portion of kettle chips, so many that we combined the leftovers into a takeout box for car snacks. Beers and hard cider come in 10, 16 or 22 oz sizes and were all good. Our waitress warmed up to us eventually, we even managed to make her smile and chuckle. Never understand why places that can charge a premium because they have a fabulous view get lazy with the food. In my world, you can have a spectacular view and delicious food. read more

The ambiance in the iconic Lodge is wonderful. The food quality is average. The prices are higher but reasonable for the location. The reason for the low rating is the service which is basically non existant. The staff really don't act as if they care you are there. read more

Solid choice for food at Timberline Lodge. Do not sleep on the clam chowder -- some of the best I've had including what I've had at the Oregon coast. It can get pretty crowded though, so be prepared for a wait if you don't arrive close to when it opens. read more

rams head is a scenic and beautiful spot. service staff was friendly and attentive food choices were very limited. chili was a very good recipe but arrived luke warm. The "award winning wine program" does not happen in the Rams head. Timberline cab was undrinkable and pinot mediocre. This should be a showcase for NW wine and instead was poor representation. We have been to Timberline many times and know they can do great, affordable wines but current program shows little attention being paid. read more

We came here for a light dinner while spending the night at the Timberline Lodge. It's a small area on the second floor, and we were able to be seated immediately for an early Saturday evening. I loved the giant windows right next to the seating area, where you could gaze out at the snow and skiers while enjoying a beverage/meal. Rams Head is a nice casual alternative if you're not looking to dine at their a bit more upper scale restaurant. First off, get the hot chocolate. They load it with sugary goodness on top and was the perfect escape from the cold weather outside! They have a few different bar food-type options. I tried the quinoa salad which was tasty and refreshing! Rams Head is a great place to grab a bite or drink while visiting/staying at Timberline. read more

Normally, Timberline Lodge is a pretty spectacular dining experience when it comes to excellent service, food quality, and atmosphere. I'm up here pretty regularly throughout the year with clients for dinners. However, this is the second time in the last few months where I've been up here with clients and had a very subpar experience. Tonight, I ordered an almost $25 chicken Caesar salad and received a bowl with three notably brown heads of Romain with what appeared to be a small freezer bag chicken breast that might've been boiled or microwaved with some salt and pepper on top. The lettuce should've been tossed in the garbage, and it's mind blowing from a food service standpoint that it was plated and sent out. I think Grocery Outlet could've provided better looking and tasting lettuce. How on earth did a fine dining establishment even think it was acceptable, let alone a good idea, to send this salad to a paying customer?? For an extra $8 to add chicken to my salad I expected a fresh, grilled chicken breast. What I received looked like it had been boiled to death or overcooked in a microwave. Thankfully the dressing masked the bad flavor on the front end but the aftertaste might make me sick, hopefully I don't end up with a food borne illness. Timberline is a historic lodge known throughout the region for fine dining with a heck of a view and excellent service. It doesn't matter if you're eating in the main restaurant or either of the bars. The brand is about blending a a unique high-end alpine experience with "exciting, fresh, locally sourced ingredients...we put exceptional care into every aspect of our guests' dining experience." Tonight was way off what they strive for and advertise on their website. I get that food and labor costs are high but seriously, this experience was not acceptable from any establishment. Especially one like Timberline. I know Timberline can do better. Management needs to work with the kitchen and servers to provide better quality assurance and client experiences that are on brand. It's a real bummer that this happened with out-of-town clients who want to experience the best that Oregon has to offer. This was not even in the realm of what Timberline has done for so many years and become known for. Please work to step up your game. read more

We had morning latte's and pastries and sat at a window table with the best view of Mt Jefferson. Barista was so nice and helpful too.

Food is just so bad. Every single thing we ordered was low quality and not fresh at all. Even the sodas were bad. No one in our party finished their dinner, and we only ate some of it because we were so hungry from skiing all day. We should have known better than to order the dessert, but that was also terrible. Overpriced is an understatement. read more

We came here for lunch on a Monday. It didn't seem very busy but we waited a long time to be seated. We waited about 30 minutes to order. Once we ordered a sandwich and some soup it took over 40 minutes to get the food. We ordered some cocktails which were very good. When our food finally came I took one bite of my sandwich only to discover the bottom piece of bread was badly molded. We sent it back and they got us another one in about 20 minutes. It was just ok. Certainly not a $24 sandwich. It took 20-30 minutes to be able to pay after we asked for the check. (All still while not busy). They did not offer a discount or anything for the gross moldy sandwich which was also disappointing. I won't be back. read more

Rams Head Bar - Steak sandwich with a badly molded bread. - Bars Near Me - Timberline Lodge, Oregon

Beautiful view, absolutely awful service! Our waitress Aleexa made an unnecessary back handed comment about our group just "loving" the restaurant. We've never been here before... Getting over that fact we were seated after 30 minutes of waiting/ being ignored. The restaurant was practically empty and most to all tables were clean and cleared. After being seated we were given water that was also spilt all over the table. When food finally came around the taste was less than mediocre, which is disappointing due to the fact that the Rams head is so highly spoken about. When the waitress came back around to refill waters she proceeded to spill more water on the table and didn't offer to wipe it or clean it up. She also filled a still full glass of wine with water (while making eye contact with me) let's just say my family and I will not be returning for the food. read more

I'll give the mixed drinks a 5 but the way the bar is set up a 3. When you walk in and someone isn't at the top of the stairs in the lodge to help you out it's quite confusing. If you go one way around the circular area and talk with someone they may say sit anywhere and when you do you hear from someone else the area is closed- then if you sit at the bar area and order food you can sit in an area that is closed that also serves food. If you think this description is confusing then please go to the Rams Head Bar! Seat yourself sometimes but not always and if you do you need to move to another area and go up to the bar to order your food but then again don't because someone may come by and take your order. Enjoy! read more

The food was really good! Ordinarily, food at a ski lodge is not that great but this was an exception to the rule. I *believe* this Ram's Head is owned by the same company that owns the other ones in Oregon, including one on NW 23rd Street near the Pearl district and that place was always top notch even if a bit loud sometimes. This location was not rambunctious in the least - perhaps as the hours get later and there are more drinkers/partiers in there, it gets more unsettled LOL The servers were really nice and accommodating. I hadn't been to Timberline in like forever and a day so it was nice to go back again. We had a perfect table that overlooked Mt. Jefferson. Looking forward to going back sometime!! read more

Rams Head Bar - Traditional hot cocoa with...some other nice ingredients! - Bars Near Me - Timberline Lodge, Oregon

Timberline Lodge is nestled in the middle of Mt. Hood so it is a beautiful drive up. We intended eat in the dining room but missed their lunch hours by 10 minutes. They closed for two hours to prepare for the dinner menu. This drew us to Rams Head. We were disappointed by the limited menu and even more so by the food. We started with local beers and a tray of charcuterie. It took us 30 minutes to receive the beers and they arrived after 10 minutes after the charcuterie. We had to ask another server to check on them. We ordered the Black Forest ham steak sandwich, the lamb stew, and a buffalo chicken bowl. The ham sandwich was probably the best thing on the menu. The stew was overly thick and lacking in the richness that you would expect from something that is designed to develop flavor. The buffalo chicken was fine but dripping in cheese and the bread bowl was chewy. The highlights to the meal were the wonderful beers once we got them, and the special hot chocolate that they serve. They taste even better than the pictures. Low points were the charcuterie--avoid this! It's a terrible combination and lacking in cohesive flavors. And the service. You need to plan to spend at least two hours here if you plan to eat a meal. read more

We had a group of 8. We were told that it would be an over hour long wait for a table that could accommodate that size, so we said we are totally fine splitting into 2 tables of 4 if they could seat us sooner, which they did. The two groups had a totally separate dining experience since our tables were not joined, but that was fine since we asked for it to avoid the wait. Our server took our order from our table of 4, but after a good 10-15 minutes, she came back to ask how many of the appetizer dip we ordered, and seemed confused as to what entrees were ordered for our table of 4. We clarified, but didn't seem that our orders had been sent to the kitchen yet... Then came the very long wait to get our beverages. This was followed by another long wait to get our appetizer, then a soup, then one entree sandwich for one member of our table to sporadically arrive... then more time passed before the rest of the food came. Btw this was after a different table (which was seated much after we ordered) had already gotten their food. Oh and btw, the other 4 people sitting at a separate table, the server forgot about half of their drink order entirely, despite having scribbled it down on her notepad - this was noted when another table of 8 (which was also seated way after we had ordered) had already gotten their beers. Food was average, expensive, though this part i kinda expected given the location. Numerous other things were forgotten and needed reminder (for our table of 4) for our server to bring. This all ended with the bill including the 18.5% service charge because we were a "group of 8" though we were seated in entirely separate tables where we couldn't communicate during the meal. Ridiculous. read more

I've come many times for to-go drinks and got some food to-go for the first time today. Thus, I can't comment on the dinner service. I always appreciate the broad range of local taps which I like to take out to the patio. Alicia, the bartender, was super friendly and helpful. I decided today to get the salami appetizer as a snack. It was clearly made with love! I was impressed by the attention to detail with snipped chives, perfectly spread whole grain mustard, and nicely halved cherries. The bread rolls were warm and fresh. All of the salami was deliciously savory. I'll definitely make this my go-to post-hike snack in the future! read more
