We stayed at the lodge for two nights and ate at this restaurant 4 times. The food was very good and the service was great each time. We had a window seat with an awesome river view and would have opted for outside dining but the patio was a bit breezy. I had the fish tacos both nights and they were very good. My husband had the tacos and then a great flatbread the following night. We definitely recommend this place and will eat here again when passing through (instead of subway) To all of the people who complained about the restaurant running out of things well I run out of things in my kitchen and I know how many I will be feeding each day. So yeah it's impossible for a restaurant to predict exactly what they will need. read more

Beautiful setting, nice location and clean restrooms. Came into get fish tacos, NO COD! So we chose meat lovers flat bread, Caesar's salad (added grilled chicken) and pulled pork nachos. The salad was SO FRESH, no brown leaves! Flat bread way under cooked. Husband enjoyed the nachos. Server Jamie seemed off, didn't really engage with customers. read more

Gosh this was such a let down. Looked great but tastes horrible. The chicken Fettuccine Alfredo had a seafood taste to it. The fried chicken and onion rings taste like they were cooked in oil that was reused too much or very low quality oil. Gave it two stars because the appearance was good. read more

Our waitress was very attentive. Gave suggestions and was very pleasant. We shared a breakfast burrito with a side of sausage gravy. Highly recommend adding the gravy. We did because I had heard the biscuits and gravy were heavenly but they were out of biscuits. Yareli is Amazing!!! We had an Excellent view of the Columbia River gorge. Breakfast is highly recommended here. Will most likely eat here again. In and out in 25 minutes read more

Ask for Naomi for a good drink, the. Service is amazing and the sunset view on the river is breathtaking.

Came for the view, stayed for the service. Pros The view of the Columbia River is gorgeous The staff have always been very welcoming It's nice to have a drink either at the bar or a table Con The food is ok...2.5 to 3 stars That said, I've had MUCH worse at much pricier places If you go with the mindset of enjoying the setting and the people and you know you won't be hungry when you leave, you'll be set! read more

This had become a go-to stop on trips to Oregon. I will say that the food has been hit and miss. My last visit was definitely a hit. Much better service and food compared to my visit a year ago. For dinner i went with clam chowder that is only available on Fridays. It was very good with big chunks of veggies. It cam with two breadsticks that looked very familiar to Olive Garden breadsticks. Great for dunking in the chowder. Also ordered a Manhattan and it was amazing. Upgraded from well to Maker's. Worth the upcharge. Bread was much better than last year. Got the Denver omelet. I double checked that they had bell peppers (they didn't last year but tried charging me for it). It was great. I did order my hashbrowns extra crispy, and the waitress apologized when she put down my plate saying she didn't think they were crispy enough. I didn't send it back, less carbs I guess. The Hawaiian mimosa is also very good! read more

What a little gem on the Columbia. This area isn't known for great food but this place turned out to be great. Good food, good views and better service. read more

Been going here for a few months and found that no one compares with the view and the food in the area. Also, the server we had, Ashley, is one of the best at customer service and friendliness. She suggested I try one of her famous Ol Fashion cocktail. It was to die for.... I also suggest the 3 piece fish and chips with a chocolate lava cake as a top off for the evening. #ashleysolfashons #ashtag read more

We just stopped in for breakfast the morning after our stay at Riverside Lodge. I had the biscuits and gravy. I love biscuits and gravy and was not disappointed. 4 half muffins slathered in sausage gravy. I was happy the the gravy was nice and hot. That is my biggest gripe with ordering this, is that most places it's not hot. The plate came heated and I think that helps keep the gravy hot also. It was tummy warming and a great way to start our day of travel. read more

It was lunch time and we decided to pull off the freeway and find a place to eat. Other than tummy time not much reason for us to stop in Boardman but super happy for this place. It was among a couple of options recommended by the very nice cop who pulled us over- no U-turns as it turns out. It's right on the river so great views, really good service and delicious food. Partner had the cheeseburger and green side salad and ordered the (not called French) dip. Highly recommend it- meat was excellent and it had just the right tiny amount of horseradish/ loved it. Not expected and a great add. Came with the same nice green salad. Loved that both plates were just the right size and the bread for both was along the lines of a Kaiser roll. So if you happen to be in the area and need food you won't go wrong eating here. And the basics, nice people, good food, fair prices and the ever popular clean restrooms so important for road trips read more

We gave this place not one but TWO chances. The first time we came in, we were greeted and told we would be sat in a few minutes. After 12 minutes of standing patiently there, someone came over and told us the kitchen was closed now and they wouldn't serve us. (The hours said 8pm closing time, we were turned away well before then. Tonight we decide to give them another shot, maybe it was an off night. We were sat and brought menus. We waited 10 minutes before our drink order was taken and then another 30 for him to come back (without our drinks) to get our food order. He came back around 5 min after that with drinks, which became empty as we watched him hang out talking with friends "taking to-go orders" I went up to the bar to get drink refills. Our food came after we'd been there for an hour and 20 minutes. Dry burgers, the salad was okay however one didn't come with croutons? (Same salads) Thanks to the bartender for getting our server after we had to go ask for the check up at the front because after an hour and a half of awful service we were beyond ready to leave. I would highly recommend going somewhere else and not waisting time or money here. read more

8 m9nths ago we stopped had elk burger, which was reason to stop again. Unfortunately no elk today, service was even slower today. Overall a real disappointment. When their on mark great, but obviously a hit and miss dining experience. read more

I write this review more in sorrow than anger. I don't like giving less-than-stellar reviews to places; after all, they work hard and it's important to find the positive in things. That said, we had dinner and breakfast here. The view is nice. And the interior is ... well ... confused, with a mix of high-concept and diner. The food was most mostly fine, if unremarkable. So what's going on? Let's start with the service. The service was friendly, but not great. At dinner there was a rush and they were overwhelmed. At breakfast there was almost no one there, and they were overwhelmed. Waiting nearly an hour for basic breakfast (eggs, pancakes, that sort of thing) means that something isn't going right in the kitchen. If it was a one-off thing I could forgive it, but the exact same problem happened at dinner with a different cook and different servers. You end up seeing good left for long periods of time underneath heat lamps. And this goes to a deeper problem that is evident on the dinner menu. What kind of place is it trying to be? Basic bar food? Elevated food? Because it fails at both. The elk burger wasn't very good. The Buffalo cauliflower bites was probably the highlight of the dinner, but was one-note. Everything about the place was off. They advertise Ordinance beers - but they weren't available. This could be a good place- they have a great bartender and some good staff, but they need to fix whatever the issues are with basic flow from the kitchen to the guests, and choose a lane for their food. read more

Fish and chips and Burger (bacon jam- what, what) wow so tasty, views of the Columbia River, waitstaff awesome if your passing through like we are defiantly a great place to stop, grab a bite to eat, and enjoy the Veiw. read more

First time visit, found on Yelp. Would have never known it was here, and honestly how would a car passing by at 70mph know about it? Located in a hotel but quite the nice seating area and view of the Columbia river. Very nice hostess + waitress crushing life, let us know the wait time (for food) was kinda long. However, is in no hurry said, "fine with us" Fish tacos for me and cob salad for my lady. We shared the Buffalo cauliflower bits. 5 's for the food + staff who made the experience pleasant and honestly the wait was not even noticeable. read more

i am staying at the lodge. I was looking forward to eating at Two Barrels. I ordered the New York Strip - Rare - it came out well done. I sent it back - they sent out a new steak raw - I cut the steak in half to check - I asked them to put it back on the grill for a couple of minutes - I was told NO - we can't do that. I won't come back here again. read more

Poor service and disappointing food. Had to remind waitress how many things were ordered, to bring sauces, silverware, and even water. When asked for additional water, server poured and spilled on guest and table and did not apologize or clean up. Had to request towel from bar and bartender came and wiped table. Some food lacked flavor while some food was too spicy to finish. Would not recommend, had better service at the local pizza joint, and food was good! read more

I'm not sure what the business strategy is here now. Our latest vacation here - on Independence Day weekend - they were either closed and/or limited hours. We are regulars several times a year. Yes- we vacation in Boardman!! While the hotel was filled to capacity, service - including food was a literal ghost town. The place used to be a resort like experience on holidays. They've installed all those new little homes they call "cabins" - yet have dialed back the restaurant. They were closed on the 4th. Sunday, they only had 4-8pm "appetizers" & alcohol. Not even any meat available for a salad. Their famous tots- unavailable. They could nail it if they wanted to. So much potential. But if management is happy just focusing on the rooms & views - then it shall remain more like a hotel and less like a resort. We will keep coming here. But will likely eat at other places while in the area - since it is limited. I feel bad for the 2 employees who were running their a$$ off to whip up bags and bags of previously frozen apps to all the people who kept coming in - only to be disappointed and express their disbelief in what has happened here. read more

to start the service is shit... it took ten minutes after we sat down to get WATER and to hear from a server. two our server was super rude slamming drinks and just very dismissive. there we're also only three tables other than us. nothing against the food it was bomb. but you need to do something about your service. it made the whole meal not enjoyable. read more

Good service. Nice view. Bad food. My order was cold. Cold eggs. Cold bacon. Cold hash browns. The waitress offered to reheat or remake it, which I appreciated, but my schedule didn't allow for the extra time. Not a good experience even for Boardman standards. read more

Where to start? Four of us stopped on our way to Walla Walla. The dining room was NOT BUSY (it was a Monday afternoon). Two plates of food came out 15 mins before the next two - the burger patty was tough, dry and had zero flavor. My friends had the fish and chips and/or farmer's BLT. Bacon on the BLT was good. Fish was over cooked. Fries were ok. The table that came in AFTER us got their food first. The cook needs to tighten up the timing of the dishes coming out! The menu is dated. We could have sat outside and taken in the air but to do that you're food order has to be "to go." Seriously??? Avoid this. Eat in The Dalles or Umatilla. For reals. read more

We came in for Sunday brunch. All of our food was of great quality. The servers were attentive and nice. Beautiful view of the river. My only complaint would be that the Sunday brunch menu is limited. But that being said it made us order the French toast which was to die for! read more

We had a Bloody Mary, petite Caesar and petite Green salad. The salads were fine, nothing special. The tomatoes for the salad had stems and unripe chunks. The Mary was just okay, tasting like plain tomato juice. The server was very nice and attentive, however, messed up the bill 3 separate times and we needed up paying two separate bills. It was very slow on a Saturday afternoon around 3pm. The ambiance is nice on the river inside. read more

Staff was wasn't attentive, was scared to try the food because the kitchen staff seemed to be inexperienced and wasn't sure of the cleanliness of the kitchen. Talked a couple who did eat there and the wife got sick from a salad. Beer was ok. read more

I would give this 0 stars if I could. Maybe they make great food, maybe they make the best food but I would not know because they would not take my order out from under the heat lamps and hand it to me. My buddy was the first to tap out and tell them to cancel his order because it was taking so long (he ordered a salad with no meat) after he left the waitress came out and told me we had not been in the restaurant for as long as he claimed and it was strange that WE had canceled. I had not said anything about canceling my order, I could actually see my order sitting under the heat lamp it had been pulled and she said something about remaking it??? I was on a time hack and was not going to wait around for them to give it another shot. Needs better staff read more

Omg! The cheddar chive chicken is sooo good. I can't wait to come back for more. Did I mention the service? Just as good

Went for breakfast and everyone liked their meal. Tamara was working hard to get everyone fed. Will go back.

Service seems to have gone downhill since the name change. Servers don't check up on you very often, food and drinks took a long time to get and the menu was better before. No appetizers during lunch? Burnt ends were really bad, cold slabs of meat, nothing burnt about it and for $12 I was really disappointed. Out of items a lot of the time, hoping this is just because of COVID and that it gets better. read more

We drove to Boardman from Tri Cities and Hermiston because we heard the food was really good. We had the pulled pork nachos and fish and chips.

What a beautiful view on the river. read more

We have eaten here several times and every time it has been a disappointment. The menu options are not consistent, the food is under flavored, partially cold or over cooked. We will not be returning. It is a disappointment that such a beautiful restaurant doesn't deliver the food and experience that it has the potential for. A overhaul of the kitchen and cooking would greatly improve this restaurant. Avoid the horseradish at all cost. I don't know who created that, but it is not horseradish. The intensity is so severe you can not even eat anything after tasting it. Appears the only seasonings they use for anything is water, salt and pepper. Total disappointment! read more

Had a wonderful experience at this restaurant last night! My husband and I each had the burnt ends plate which came with a generous serving of burnt ends with house made bbq sauce, Mac and cheese, and coleslaw. We thought it was a great selection, very tasty and a good value. Thank you! read more
