Wow Great place , clean and very comfortable atmosphere!!…read more I had seasoned ground beef enchiladas and my wife had the Colorado beef burrito. I do wish they wouldn't charge $2.50 for a very small thing of diced onions ( I think enchiladas should come with lettuce, tomatoes and onions on top) Service was also outstanding!! The margaritas blow ixtapa away( ixtapa puts very little tequila in their Rita's) I would highly recommend this over any Mexican restaurant in Hood River

I went here with my brother, and we were seated right away. The service was excellent, and the…read moreatmosphere was warm and pleasant--great for a first date. The main issue was the food. My carne asada was overcooked, dry, and overpriced. It should be cooked medium rare to medium, but it came out well done, and I couldn't finish it. I was really disappointed, especially since the last time I came here (about 7 years ago), it was my favorite dish. Clearly, you went from an experienced chef to a very inexperienced cook. It's very unfortunate because the poor quality reflects your business, and I am not the only one noticing that. Your change to save a few dollars is going to hurt your reputation. I hope you go back to using experienced chefs and stop hiring amateur cooks who don't know what they're doing. Our total came to $60, or $75 with tip, and honestly, the experience wasn't worth it. I expected better and likely won't be back unless it's a last option, since The Dalles tends to close early on weekends.

This is one of our go-to spots on Hood River. We've been here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and…read moresomehow they manage to nail it every single time. Today's mission? Split the St. Helens Burger, an order of fries, and a side salad with the recommended goat cheese (trust them--it was the right call). The burger was everything you want it to be. A fresh poppy seed bun, a perfectly cooked patty, sweet caramelized onions... and then came the poblano pepper. That little bit of smoky heat tied the whole thing together. Now let's talk about the fries because they deserve their own paragraph. These are, without question, my favorite fries. They arrived hot, crispy, perfectly golden, and had that satisfying crunch that makes it impossible to stop at just one. If you're a fry person, these alone are worth the visit. The side salad was fresh and flavorful, and the creamy goat cheese took it from "just a side salad" to something I'd happily order again. It was the perfect balance to all those delicious fries. If you're looking for a place that consistently delivers great food in a welcoming atmosphere, Kickstand Coffee should absolutely be on your list. We've yet to have a bad meal here, and it's one of those places we recommend without hesitation to friends, family, and anyone who asks where to eat. I now wish I didn't let my husband eat more of the fries. Gotta head back up there soon! Service was great and love that the girl at the counter asked me if I was doing anything fun today - extra friendliness goes a long way!

There's always something with this place! So, tonight, after a 10 hour shift on a Sunday, I catch…read moreup to a birthday party in progress for my youngest girl's day care provider, who just turned 60. I'm over an hour late. Everyone else is already finishing up their drinks and meals. Wanting just one drink after a long day, I head to the bar! My wife asks me to get her one too. Here's where it gets bizarre. Kickstand has a bar...well, it looks like a bar. But what I found out is that it's just for looks because it doesn't act like a bar. I thought ordering two cocktails and paying for my drinks would be easy, like it is at every bar in town. But the bartender, I mean employee standing behind a bar, asked if I was with the large group. I stated, "yes, I was." Then she proceeded to tell me that the drinks would be on someone's tab. But I showed up late...I don't know what's happening. I don't know who's paying for the "tab". I just wanted to buy two drinks and walk away. But that wasn't allowed at Kickstand. Then another employee walks up and attempts to take my drink order. Super confused, I tell her the employee standing behind the bar just took my drink order. And then we proceeded down the tab conversation again. The second employee said because "we" were a party of 8 or more, I couldn't pay for my own drinks and I they would have to put it on the party's tab. But again, I don't know who owns the tab. If it was the woman having the birthday, I didn't want to add to her bill...on her birthday. Then they suggested I "could just Venmo" the party girl. No! I want to just order two drinks and have Kickstand take my money. Why wouldn't they just take my money?! The place was dead tonight, other than the 5 or so small daycarel families, sitting at their own tables, that made up the "party". I canceled my drink order and walked away out of protest and principal. When asked if I was with the big party, I should have said no I guess. Lesson leaned for next time, if there is a next time. Kickstand, you're so difficult and frustrating!!

Their beer flights come with 6 pours each and it's served in a tall sail (or sharkfin?) shaped tower, each choice is labeled so you know what you're drinking. Their burger with bacon tomato jam was a 10/10! So much flavor and the bun was fresh and lightly buttered and toasted (this really takes it up a notch!). The meat was very tender and lots of flavor (tasted high quality). It's served with a heaping order of fries (or you can upcharge it for $2 and do salad, soup or sweet potato fries). Their chicken wings were tender and came off the bones easily while still having crispy edges. Perfection. After a swim in the river across the street, this place is a chill spot for good food, beer and service. They have indoor seating with views and outdoor seating as well. Inside was nice and cool on a hot day. I'm already looking forward to the next visit!

We decided to sit inside, please be aware that it might be a bit cold depending where the air vent is located in conjunction to where you're sitting. The service was okay. My husband ordered his burger with bacon but it didn't come with bacon. However, we were charged for the bacon on his burger.

Then what? Say what you will about Colonel Harlan Sanders and his legacy but honestly when was the last time you had a dried piece of chicken from KFC? Can you say that about Winco or Albertsons or Safeway? I bet you cannot. What I like best about the revamped KFC brand these days is they are serving it in so many inventive ways. Popcorn, nugget, pieces, snackers, sandwiches and my favorite, pieces of dark meat. This particular KFC is really clean both in the dining room and happy to report, the bathroom too. The strip mall it is in has been revitalized with the addition of a Coastal Farm & Ranch. The staff was friendly and quick too. If you need some chicken, this place is a viable option.... fool.
