Our server/host seated us promptly and brought us water right away, which I really appreciated. The ambiance was very relaxing, which we needed after a long day of walking. The menu had a great variety of sandwiches, burgers, and salads.

The items we ordered were delicious! The burger and fish were prepared perfectly, and I loved the mustard and dill dressing that came with the salad. Excellent service and great food!

We're back! 2 weeks later than my last review because the Gorge, Brandy our gracious and loving…read moreserver, dining tent deck view/ambiance, FOOD and "gluttony memory" called us back! An epic Breakfast menu for foodies and standard fair breakfast/brunch lovers is new and ON at Clark & Lewie's - designed and prepared by Brandy's husband and chef Tony! A "first" review challenge for me: How to write in "groans and sighs." Because words just won't accurately communicate the sophisticated, savory flavors, texture and clear love of food like we experienced. Crepes. Yes crepes! They offer two varieties that I couldn't choose from, so they offered one of each! The first is bacon, cheese and egg, and the second with ham/cheese and raspberry jam? The first bite - oooooohhhh - the texture that hits your mouth says "do I have your FULL attention?". And the first auditory responses are moans, groans and a few unsavory expletives....for which you quickly apologize to your dining partner. And your eyes lock on your food and fork - and then partner - with some serious "affection." Holy crap! Then the biscuits and gravy...equally not your standard fair with ample extra creamy servings of love and satiation. We also had to try an extra side of their potatoes obrian which are also not you standard fair and clearly trying to hold its own as a lead entre vs side. Moist, savory and incredible dipped in the gravy:) And then the bloody Mary's! Please note in the pictures the massive thick piece of bacon, that they cook in the oven with cayanne and brown sugar! And ALL of this backed by a scenic Columbia riverside view with its sleepy, eerie and calming mountain peaks, clouds and shimmering light. I must again reference our (local) server Brandy, and her incredible multi-talented husband Tony- they are the heart behind your entire dining experience. Brandy's piercing blue eyes radiate her love of what she does and her life with her large family here in the gorge. Richness in every level that pleases all your senses and soul. Oh! And with a bag full of breakfast leftovers, we ordered a full serving of their famous beef and elk stroganoff to take home as well!:) We'll be back!

The pulled pork nachos are made to PERFECTION. I had the brisket sandwich and every bite was Delicious. The restaurant is well kept with a rustic vibe and there is bar area too. Also looked like they have a large outdoor area that was closed the night we were there. Cheers.

I can't say enough good things about the food and service here! We initially sat indoors because…read morethere weren't any tables available on the patio, but as soon as one opened up, we moved outside to enjoy the gorgeous view of the Columbia River. It was stunning and made the experience even better. I had the Jamaica hard cider, and it was so good that I had to buy a crowler to take home, i brought it back to California! The Blackened Chicken Sando was amazing!! It was perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. I paired it with a side salad, which was also great. My kids ordered burgers and fries, and husband Bacon Jam Burger. Between the breathtaking views, outstanding service, delicious drinks, and incredible food, this place exceeded all of our expectations. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area.

It's the perfect spot to enjoy the weather and grab a bite after a hike. The menu is mostly burgers with some salads and rice bowls. My daughter and I split a salad and the Deluxe Burger. The burger was good, pretty solid, nothing special to note. The fries were really good and it seems like their sweet potato waffle fries are really popular, we saw them on almost every table. The Caesar was a very large portion, but a little too heavily dressed. It was also not a super flavorful dressing. Overall, this is a solid option if you are in town!

Like, I jumped in the shower, and it arrived before I was finished! How's that for service?! The dishes arrived hot and fresh, packaged in to-go containers, as is the norm these days, but that did not detract from the experience. The Breakfast Tacos were incredible, perhaps the best I've had, thanks to an awesome salsa topping, a dash of lime juice, and delicious roasted potatoes. I would have trouble ordering anything else for breakfast here, on future visits. My wife's Steelhead Omelet, filled with delicious smoked salmon, cream cheese, and assorted veggies, was also wonderful (I had a few more bites than I probably should have), and more fantastic roasted potatoes on the side. It doesn't look all that fancy, but it's like a Christmas present: who cares about the packaging, when the stuff inside is what counts?! Prices are surprisingly reasonable for the things that we ordered, considering the size of each entree. I've had far worse meals, for far more money, so we were very content with every aspect of our order, and without any added overhead for the "convenience" of having it brought to our room. When it comes to "room service", this is the kind of service you want, every time. Very recommended.

We had the biscuits and gravy. They definitely could have been better but the homemade "biscuit" was different. It was more like cornbread but I kind of liked it. You can tell the place has been there for a long time but you get a river view out the large windows and the staff/servers were great. I've definitely eaten better breakfasts but if you take it for what I think they are trying to be it's great. They obviously aren't trying to make outstanding dishes and get reviews for amazing food.

No, they offer the impossible burger and the black-beanburger. OK - they are vegan, sure, but they are not what we like. Now they offer a variety of specialty burgers with catchy names. Like the Pendleton. The description sounded good: "Our 1/3 pound char broiled beef patty, covered in House BBQ sauce, melty cheddar cheese and crispy onion rings, on a toasted bun, served with French fries." The "covered in House BBQ" turned out to be about a table spoon of BBQ inside of one of the onion rings. I had also ordered their clam chowder. Look on line, picture shows what looks like a creamy clam chowder. What showed up could best be described as thin. Think skim milk. Taste was not bad, but dang it all, it used to be legendary clam chowder. We've been going to this restaurant for many, many years. They used to have a salad bar, they used to have great relishes, now, well, we tried the Brigham Fish Market earlier today and will not be going back to Bridgeside. Pity.

Help yourself to water. Perfect. Speaking of perfection, my oysters and chips were among the best I've ever eaten. I had asked if they were local, and was assured that these small morsels of joy were from Washington. The portion of sea gems was huge (15-20?). Perfectly battered and nestled on crispy fries. I love it when your first bites singe your tongue, reminding you that your meal is fresh! I'm not a fan of coleslaw, but Brigham's was better than most. Speaking of most, the Brigham crew was the most friendly and kept checking with each table to see how we were doing, without being intrusive. Kudos to two of the crew who handled a very demanding table next to me, BTW. This is a solid recommendation for anyone who wants a variety of fresh seafood and a wonderful ambiance to enjoy it in.

Had both breakfast and dinner here - both experiences were underwhelming…read more For breakfast, my husband had the continental breakfast which lacked options and items looked overcooked. We ordered an oatmeal for my daughter and she usually loves oatmeal but she barely had a few bites because it was dry. My steelhead omelette was interesting. The red onions and sugar peas were underdone which came off too strong while there was too much cream cheese and not enough steelhead. In fact, where was the steelhead? Dinner was ok. We weren't hungry but needed to feed our girl. Husband had the steelhead chowder and again, where is the steelhead? My fish, portion wise, was huge. Flavor wise, not much of it. Our scallops could've benefited from a better sear because it was soggy. High chair for one meal was missing and strap so it was a bit dangerous for it to be used. Staff was nice and view was great.

Great service, great drinks, and the best pizza I've had in decades!…read more The beers Backwoods makes are all delicious and smooth-drinking. The service staff was all exceptional. But the pizza! Off the charts!, FULL REVIEW of all Services: If anyone who enjoys hiking, river fishing, or just a general outdoor-focused vacation wants a good, simple getaway with their spouse/loved one, check out the Backwoods brand in Carson, Washington (just north-northeast of Bridge of the Gods/Cascades Locks). Backwoods Cabins offers a really great overnight stay option. The 8 cabins there are all basic "two-room" designs (bedroom and attached bathroom, and a living room / mini-kitchen room). The cabins sport king-sized beds, a gas fireplace and outdoor fire, a mini kitchen with refrigerator/freezer and microwave (no stove/range). I think 3 of the 8 cabins welcome dogs. The Backwoods brand also owns Backwoods Brewery, which is just across the road from the cabin property. They have great microbrew beers (from light lagers to GREAT stouts!). The brewery also has a smokehouse, with fantastic smoked brisket, pulled pork, and house-made sausage/brats. But even better, the Backwoods Brewery offers the BEST PIZZA I've had in decades. The pizza dough is a perfect balance of flavor and texture. It's not too thin and not too thick. The crust is chewy in the middle, with a great crusty edge and base. The red sauce (they also have a white sauce we didn't try) is thick and rich, with a few tomato chunks. It's got a slight spicy bite with a sweet finish. They also have some unique house pizzas. We tried the Whistle Punk - Red sauce, bacon, smoked brisket, peppadew peppers, sweet onions, fresh mozzarella rounds - and the Pepperoni Express - Red sauce, pepperoni, mushrooms, tomatoes, banana peppers, smoked mozzarella. Both were outstanding. I'd go so far as to say both Donna and I deemed these the best pizzas we've had in 35+ years (noting that our first date was at a pizza joint in Fife we both thought was the best-ever pizza). If you stay in the Backwoods Cabins, you get two coupons for free drinks at the brewery (beer/wine/cider/cocktails) as well as an assortment of snacks for your hiking adventures, and a full S'mores kit to use over the gas fire pit. And if you are in a dog-friendly cabin, you get complimentary treats, and water/food bowls for your canines.

Wasn't sure what to expect since it's a small town in a fairly remote location. But this place had…read moregreat pizzas, dinners and a very chill patio that my dog could dine with me on. And of course their brews were exceptional, i got some for take home as well.
