The onion rings were crisp and the batter was just right, the Wendy Melt was incredible and will be the biggest reason I go back again, and I loved the seasonal drink offerings. Vanilla Bean Old Fashioned was really tasty (although this really should have been served over a cube but what can ya do), I even went out and picked up a bottle of Browne Vanilla Bean Whiskey so I could make a few drinks this weekend when I'm up on Mount Hood. The pub itself is very spacious, it would make for a really good big group get together! Tons of TVs everywhere, open flooring concept. I wish I had gone here sooner. Parking was easy, location was easy. I'll be back and I suggest you go and check it out!

Less than ideal experience here this evening. Ordered the steelhead, and before it was served the…read morewaitress notified us that it was actually coho, salmon, which I appreciated knowing and that was not a problem at all. When it came, however, it was incredibly over-salted, I mean to the point where it was inedible (and I actually like salt.) I let the waitress know about the issue and she apologized, advising she would let the kitchen staff know. I suspect it was double salted in error. The potatoes and broccolini served with it were good, but the plentiful carrots that came on the plate were significantly undercooked; you could not put a fork through them even. We had a hot pretzel as an appetizer, and I've gotta say it was fantastic, just phenomenal! It comes with a cheese sauce, which I wasn't really into, but also a grainy mustard to dip in and it was good enough that I would've eaten it without the pretzel, but I didn't want to embarrass myself! One person at our table had the single patty smashburger that came with a ginormous amount of battered fries and he said both the burger and the fries were good. The kids meal ordered (Mac & cheese) was a lot of food and very well-received. We ordered an additional vegetable (broccolini) for the child with us and I was pleased to see that that was just three dollars for a generous portion. We were sitting in a corner and the music was very loud. Loud enough, that I had to go to the car to get the child's headphones for them to wear, and one adult in our party actually put in earplugs. I suspect in a more central location it wouldn't have been as intolerably loud. Prices are average. Our server was very pleasant.

As Ridgefield locals, my husband and I are gradually trying the new or newish spots in our town…read more This time we rode our bikes to Playmakers for lunch. We chose a table on the patio behind (partly to keep an eye on the bikes). As we sat waiting for menus, I glanced down and around and noticed how dirty it was. The ground near our table had several dirty napkins and other debris that hadn't been cleaned up. Our table was dirty as well. There was a blob of dried ketchup right in front of me. I asked our server if that could be cleaned up and she brought a couple wet napkins and tried to get it off and finally said, "There" and walked away. Well, it was still there. So I took a couple napkins myself and used water from my glass and after a little work it came off. The tables aren't solid so there is lots of dried goo between the slats as well. It just gave me the impression that cleanliness isn't a high priority at this establishment. One can only hope they keep the kitchen cleaner. Nevertheless we decided to give the food a try. My mom always taught me that "when in doubt order a burger. They can't mess that up", so I did, with "beer batter fries". The fries were great and I can recommend them. The burger was also pretty good. I got the cheeseburger (it has a clever name which I've forgotten). My husband was disappointed with his cilantro rice bowl, however. It was bland with not enough beans. The sauce tasted like mayo and sriracha sauce mixed together but it didn't have enough oomph to add much flavor to the dish. When our server came by and asked about the food my husband wasn't even finished answering her and she said she was sorry and walked away. Maybe you have to have enough alcohol under your belt to enjoy the food? We're out of luck because we don't drink. Sorry, Playmakers, we don't want to go back.

One spot was at capacity and we weren't allowed in, so we started up the car again and kept driving. I thought there'd be a tavern or two in St. Helen's. We entered the Columbia Tavern and saw a folks seated at tables and the bar sectioned off - There was a large order being placed ahead of us, so we patiently waited. The barkeep was kinda cute and had good customer service skills. I got the freshest IPA they had, a Rogue, I think. My brother and I sat at a table way back by the stage and enjoyed the tavern. Not much to report, tables staggered about - think they are trying to switch names, logos.

We saw a couple brought in their own food, good thinking! The service is hit or miss as well. We met friends there last night and John acted as if we were bothering him. There was a grand total of no more than 10 people in there. He couldn't even make a decent vodka cranberry! My friend had to ask for more ice & vodka EVERY time she ordered one. He also would drop the empty beer bottles into the recycling that was close to our table, not the most relaxing sound ever.
