House Fries Regular House sauce
Joya B.

The outside is deceiving. When you walk inside it's such a chill vibe and aesthetic. Clean and elevated styling for what seems like a whole in the wall. I went at a rather off time in the middle of the day after finishing classes. The menu is extremely vegan friendly more so than anything else, but everyone can enjoy something. The fries were perfectly cooked not greasy or stale tasting, the sauce they served it with was very good and creamy. The wrap was fresh and the chkn inside was delish, kale was fresh and crisp. The price was just right $12. I did not have any drinks but they had alcoholic slushies (duh) and they looked pretty appetizing. The bartender was friendly and helpful. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

Smoke Stack
Brittany M.

So a group of 4 of us went to Thunderbird on a Saturday evening for dinner and drinks. The inside was low lighting, music playing, lots of seating. We sat outside where there were heaters on timers so it never got uncomfortably warm and didn't stay too cold for long. Now for my favorite part, the food! You order your food and drinks at the bar and a server will bring it to your table. I ordered the Brussels Bowl which had kale, rice, BBQ tofu, and brussel sprouts. It was a beautiful bowl full of great flavor. My husband ordered the TBird Vegan Philly made with impossible crumbles. It looked really good and he enjoyed it. We also ordered the Smash Impossible Sliders - grilled onions, thunder sauce and vegan cheddar. The non vegan items that were ordered: Smoke Stack Burger Foster Rd. Burger Onion Rings with Srirancha I recommend for anyone looking for a bar with meat and veggie options. Perfect place to bring friends or a date!

Chicken Cesar Wrap
Hannah W.

Always enjoy stopping here for drinks, but this was my first time eating. Chicken Caesar wrap, standard food item right, but damnnnn it was delicious! The dressing tasted homemade and the chicken was juicy and not overcooked. Will definitely eat here again.

Brussels Appetizer

Neighborhood bar - absolutely one of my favorite! Great staff and tons of seating. Lively atmosphere every night. Their menu has vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and meat options!

Kodi T.

Their food is so good and the prices are really reasonable. They have so many vegan options and a few that are not vegan. Their sauces are handmade and delicious! Whenever I'm in their the staff that drop your food off are so nice and always ask if you need anything else. They have a beautiful space with lots of plants and the option for outdoor seating. Although parking in the neighborhood is a little tough, it's worth the short walk for the great food and overall vibe!

city of roses
Ann N.

fun and cozy bar with a few activities to stay entertained. there's a ton of seating including indoor and outdoor. drinks are fairly priced. i got the city of roses which tasted good except i did not taste the rose flavor at all

Fopo Bowl (vegan): Super tasty and fresh!
Jason C.

I've been here a few times and love this place! I'm familiar with their bar group and always know I'll have tasty food and solid drink options especially for a good dry cider. The space is roaming with a broad range of seating options. Don't be intimidated by parking, there's lots of parking behind it!

Steak and fried onion- steak was actually perfectly cooked and the friend onion with Chipotle sauce was really good. 2. Potato croquette - this was just what they brought everyone at the start of the meal and it was one of my favs. 3. Albacore - this seasoning and sauce was really delicious 4. Naan - super fluffy and delicious 5. Pork croquettes 6. Chaurice sausage - also really enjoyed. Pea and sausage was an interesting combo but it worked. 7. Caviar with hash browns - was good but tbh don't really understand the appeal of caviar Ordered the gimlet for drink which was also delicious. Would get everything again!

I have the best daughter-in-law in the world (actually two of them). Amy can sniff out a new restaurant like nobody's business. And she hit big-time on this one. We ate on the patio, which is beautiful, and my 3 year old niece had the time of her life in the bamboo 'forest' looking for pandas and koalas. We had two of the most charming women as servers, but I wrote down their names on the merchant-copy of the receipt, so I can't tell you who they were. As stated in the other reviews, this is a foodie's ideal. I you are going to order the hamburger, which is good, order something green for the table with it. If you want medium-rare, order rare. They change the menu alot, so I hope this is still be on it when you go. For dessert, "The Floating Island". Start with cream anglaise, then add green strawberries and rhubarb around the edges (totally counter intuitive for me, but worked perfectly!) and in the middle is a rectangle of meringue (the best I have ever had in my life) and a spoonful of lime granite to top it off. Spectacular! Go for it and Go !!!

That is, until you turn your attention to the wedge of a jojo next to that beautiful wet-tshirt-contest winner. And by wedge, I mean you could park a god damned RV on the bank-iest bank of the Willamette, put one of these under a rear wheel, throw the RV in neutral, and open a trampoline park inside. If you canceled the lease on Playdate PDX and are reading this, don't steal my idea, you prick. Anyway, I digress. Potato jojo wedge. Back to it. I brought home some as leftovers three months ago and my eight year old is still tunneling through them like she's a mole dropped into some f-ed version of Candy Land. Look, I know the fine bartenders here promise chicken and jojos the same way cable promises service: it'll arrive somewhere between the hours of 6 and 10:00 PM. But sit your ass in the chair, get a PBR and wait. Because, much like the bygone era of cable, when the boob shows up uncensored, late at night, and wrapped seductively in paper and BBQ sauce (don't judge me! You tuned in too!), you weren't thinking of the guy with the extra long butt crack and ill fitting button up. Oh no, my friend, you were thinking about the sauce. BBQ, ranch, sweet chili, . . . or ketchup (you immature shit).

My friends were at the bar and I managed to get a seat next to them. I was smart to ask my friend to place a food order since they are known for hot fried food to take their time. I ordered a drink and caught up with my friends. There were complimentary treats which I gladly enjoyed. Once my food arrived, I enjoyed the jo jo's with buffalo dipping sauce as my go to. The fried chicken hits the spot and the staff is very friendly. It was great seeing 2 people working instead of just 1 person doing everything. My order was affordable too once I closed my tab. Old Portland for the win once again and will continue to support, cheers!

Dishes can be shared here, and our server suggested a few specialties for us to try. They also have a tasting menu but we opted for picking our own. We started with grilled oysters that were topped with kimchi butter and garlic. It was incredibly flavorful and perfectly grilled. We had the Little Gems salad, which was refreshing with the greens, radish, and green goddess sauce. The hamachi crudo is their specialty. The raw fish came with grilled pineapple and a bold and pungent fish sauce that meshed all the ingredients together cohesively for one sweet and savory dish! Absolutely recommend it! The lobster roll was absolutely delicious with bread that holds the flavors together. Cooked well and no notes here! The start of the evening was absolutely the cedar plank whole branzino. Wow, I have never been more impressed with a fish. Perfectly cooked with juicy, smoked flavors. 12/10 recommend! For dessert, we ordered an earl grey tea ice cream with blackberry, and peach sorbet. Both refreshing!

Definitely make a reservation since it fills up on a Friday night. Sitting at the kitchen bar is a fun way to watch the talented team work their magic, but bar seats would've been great, too. Foggy notion was a beautiful early grey infused whisky/amontillado sipper topped with vanilla cream. Blade Runner with cognac and cocoa butter Campari was a nice boulevardier twist. Food is family style and portions are huge. Good for a group that likes to share. Loved the crispy brussels, creamy whipped ricotta, and delicata squash- there were so many other things I wanted to try, but even three plates was too much food for the two of us. Definitely recommend and hope to return.
