California Roll
G R.

Was in town for a couple days and decided to try this place since it was close to my hotel. Went on a late Sunday afternoon where I was able to get a seat at the bar and watch the NFL game while having a beer. Bartender was well versed in the menu items and I was able to order the California Roll on the Happy Hour menu. The food was fresh and tasted great. Cool place with a relaxed vibe.

Creme Brulee- excellent!

My wife and I went here last night with another couple and it was quite good. We hadn't been there in a while, so it was nice to see the food and atmosphere were still really good.

Lion lemonade

Greeted by bartender Chris....super nice guy and very personable. Came during happy hour. Had the lion lemonade....summer in a glass and fabulous. Chose the ahi poke stack off of the happy hour menu...$10.95 and also fabulous. Lots of great items on the happy hour menu....highly recommend.

We were able to get a table without a reservation at 7:30 which was nice. It took about 5 minutes to be greeted by our server. We got drinks and then put in our appetizer order. The cauliflower was great! I asked for a water 2 times and ended up having to get up and go to the bar. At the bar 2 people looked at me but did not help me (including a manger or supervisor). One of the gals at the bar ended up bringing a water to our table, since our waitress couldn't help me. The food was fine but not amazing (besides the cauliflower). Our service was just not very attentive, we were not offered refills until 20 minutes after we finished our drinks and it took a while to get boxes and our check. The food was fine, but the service was definitely disappointing. It really made our experience here a bummer.

Another great gluten free meal at Thirsty Lion. Our server Sean was wonderful. We had the cod tacos and grilled salmon Caesar salad with dressing on the side. I always like their grilled salmon, but didn't want a full meal with rice. The salad was a mixture of romaine & field greens which I prefer and the dressing was authentic. Ended up taking half the salad home; our server brought a fresh to go dressing. As always this place can be on the noisy side due to the music & if crowded. Not too busy today and we seemed to get lucky with a booth in the back away from speakers.

this branch has significantly improved since the last times i have visited, that i've been more open to trying more dishes on their menu - i was surprisingly impressed to see how fresh their ahi poke stack was! it was a great snack that isnt too heavy. i always love coming here because of their open kitchen layout inside, as well as the bar area in the center of the space. the moment you walk in, you are warmly greeted by the hostess and sat at one of the many tables and booths they have. they have plenty of choices on their menu that spans many preferences, so there should be something for everyone to enjoy.

oh yeah, great espresso martinis as well!

excellent food, great ambience and wonderful service from waitress in training- Esta! thank you

Thirsty Lion: guacamole, salsa and chips
Chiemi N.

My recent experience wasn't all that great. I was hanging out with my sister and we decided to grab a bite. It was 8:30pm and not a lot was open at that time of night on a Monday in Hillsboro. We saw that Thirsty Lion was open till 10pm. The ambiance is nice when we walked in. Got seated immediately. Service is prompt and friendly. My sister ordered an Amaretto Sour, and she said it was delicious. I got iced tea. There isn't much in the way of vegan food. I saw the cauliflower, but the aioli contains mayo, and the tempura batter also contained egg. There's a Beyond Burger that they put cheese on. I mean I could order that, but without vegan sauces and cheese, the burger would be boring, and I would rather make my own at home for way less money. I opted for guacamole, chips and salsa. I was offered more chips when I ran out. My sister and I did spend a pleasant hour there.

Rosemary gin and tonic
Surabhi A.

The pub is huge and had a great atmosphere when we entered so we were excited! The drinks were great although my rosemary gin and tonic was not too strong but the spicy margarita was quite good! Cauliflower bites were the star of the show for sure! Chicken in chicken wings with dry rub and blue cheese was pretty obviously stale and that was a bummer. The tacos were okay and the artisan flatbread was pretty good. All in all a good to average experience. Might go back to try the brunch there some day. Our server was amazing and she even canceled my second drink order as I changed my mind 5 mins after placing it.

Rock Creek Tavern - Hogshead Crispy Chicken Sandwich & the Strawberry Lemon Drop

Rock Creek Tavern

Hidden away in the forest... really is a log cabin full of ambiance and character and is charming…read more Tuesday nights there's a bluegrass band that hangs out and does great background music. Lots of fun McMenamin's beers on tap, yummy food and kind waistaff. If you want dark and cozy... this is your place!

In general, McMenamins is one of the most innovative full service restaurant chains out there. No…read moretwo are alike, and all of the ones I've been to (10 or more) are charming and incredibly well done, with dark wood, comfortable lighting, good food (nothing fancy, but way better with more variety than the typical tavern). They all feature a long list of draft beers, a full bar, and great friendly service. They brew their own beer and distill a number of spirits. Their Rock Creek Tavern is a gem. It's an enormous cabin-style building, with high ceilings, large weathered beams, comfortable seating (upstairs, downstairs, outside and at a long wooden bar). There's a large fireplace, and a giant wood fired stove in the rear that they fire up on cold days. Check out their rare giant mushroom lamps and long list of eclectic objects on the walls or hanging from the rafters. The Rock Creek Tavern is a short drive north of Hillsboro, OR, on a quiet stretch of NW Old Cornelius Pass Road (a northwest offshoot of the much busier Cornelius Pass Road). This is my opinion -- I'm merely a local customer and a big fan.
