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.

This is our go-to spot in Cascade Locks…read more The space is huge and there's a patio upstairs with a killer view of the bridge. 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!

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.

Nevertheless, upon meeting the owner, who successfully fulfills multiple roles, it's evident she deserves a good review! Our meal was prepared efficiently, and the presentation was excellent. So the back of house gets 5 gold stars! We enjoyed our conversations with the owner and felt welcomed as if we were lifelong residents of the town. The local diner's ambiance is unmistakable, with the regulars clearing their own tables and saying "see you tomorrow". I love that! We extend our best wishes to the owner for future success and hope she accomplishes her goal of traveling to Texas with her grandmother. CHEERS!

I don't drink beer often, but when I do, I drink light beer. He brought me 3 options to try, all were great and I went with one I wasn't initially considering. The food is amazing. 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.

First time here after our trip to Bonneville Hatchery. Since my nephew was hungry and we were also…read morein the mood for beer and eats, we stopped here to satisfy those cravings in early September. Seating is mainly on the rooftop where you get a nice overlook of the Cascade Locks neighborhood. The beer list is mainly handcrafted beers from Oregon so if you're looking for domestic items such as Coors light or Bud light, this ain't your location. We did some Kolschs and the Day Hike Pale Ales. The Pale Ale is tasty and easy to drink. My sister likes the Kolsch although it didn't appeal to my girlfriend as it was a bit sour for her. She did like the Pale Ale so I had to order another one for her. As for food, I went with the farmers salad and the wings while my sister got the classic cheeseburger and my girlfriend went with the chicken sandwich. The food came out pretty quick and we dug in. The salad was bigger than I expected and I loved the beets and bacon with the goat cheese mixed in. As for the wings, I could've done without those as they came out dry and tough. The sauce is pretty good (hazy ipa buffalo) which I'm sure would amplify the flavor of the wings if they weren't so stiff. My girlfriend and sister both enjoyed their chicken sandwich and burger. I probably should've ordered one of those cause they looked tasty. My nephew ordered the kids chicken tenders w/ fries. He ate them and didnt' complain which is a good thing. The location also hosts events such as weddings and engagement parties; not surprised given the views of the area and the access to the beer. Apparently there's also a Gorges Beer location directly in Southeast Portland if you don't want to go all the way to Cascade Locks. This spot is alright; my nephew enjoys it here so I'll probably be here again when we visit the Hatchery next time we come.

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.
