We had such a great experience at Wailapa Brewing Company Taproom Pizzeria! We tried both the pepperoni pizza and the combination pizza, and honestly--both were absolutely delicious. The crust really stood out: perfectly balanced, not too greasy, with just the right texture that made every bite super satisfying. You can tell they put a lot of care into their food, and it made for a really enjoyable meal. Great vibes, great pizza, and definitely a spot we'll be coming back to. Highly recommend!

Great beer selections. There are amazing beers at this place I missed out ordering food but what a great spot

Pizza and beer

All around great experience here. We dropped in as Harvest Host guests. Spaces for RVs were well thought out but no services, and that was just fine. We got a great pizza and had a few of their beers before jumping back in our camper for the night. Staff were all friendly and helpful even though we rolled in an hour before closing and wanted food and drink. Very accommodating folks. We highly recommend you stop!

The pizza was made perfectly with good quality ingredients. The beer was cold and lots of flavors. We sat outside in the shade with our pet and they provided plenty of water bowls. The server was very friendly and let us try a couple samples of beer before making our choice. Good beer, good pizza, good choice.

Found this great little brewery on our way to Seattle. The Spruce Tip IPA has a very unique flavor created with actual spruces. Pizza & Chicken Marinara sandwich were delicious. Side salad was very fresh. The staff got a 10/10 as they were courteous, friendly & knowledgeable about the beers on tap. Brewery had lots of personable touches & beautiful wild flowers bouquets on the table. Their outdoor seating offers fire pits & is dog friendly.

Margarita pizza
Chatrina P.

Ummm, this place.... So surprisingly good. Took a quick stop on our way through town. We had the pretzels with tillamook cheddar sauce, margarita pizza, gyro sandwich. Tried the house cab and the blue raspberry cider. All was fantastic. Only managed to get a pic of the pizza and brownie! Would def make a point to stop here next time I'm traveling through.

Willapa Brewing Co - Margherita pizza

We stopping by when passing through on a Sunday night, not the best idea if you aren't there for bingo. It's a small place, and it appeared it was going to be over-full with players, so we decided to take ours to-go. We ordered a Margherita pizza, side salad, and chicken nachos. The pizza was ok, looked appealing but lacked a bit on flavor. The nachos, while more than generous with the chips, the toppings were sparse. The side salad was small but fresh. Employees were friendly and the place is cute and clean. I wish I could say we loved our meal, but unfortunately that night it just just okay.

Hickory Shirt Pizza

So glad we stopped here! We were one of a few people here, even when it picked up - service was great! The food was so yummy - we got a Margherita Pizza and Hickory Shirt Pizza and they were both delicious! We had the Blonde and Pale Ale beers and were happy with them as well. Glad we got to sample to narrow down what we liked. Would stop again if we ever come back up here!

Dog friendly patio

I have spent the last year taking a hiatus from work and traveling in my van with my dog. In all of my travels, this is my favorite brewery and I plan to get back. Let's start with the beers. One of my biggest complaints about most breweries today is that they have 18 different IPAs, a blonde and porter and a stout. This is not that place. Yes they have a variety of IPAs, a blonde, a stout and a porter, but it isn't the whole menu. The brewers here are clearly pushing the edge of their craft into interesting new territories, and I am a fan. Barrel-Aged Tarte is an absolute joy on the pallete. Having been aged in whiskey barrels, you get a real solid smoky oak taste, that finishes tart and dry. I've a had a few of their IPAs which were stellar. But there is a beer that keeps me coming back. You know those things that get in your head? A meal or a drink that is just so unique and enjoyable that you wake up at 3AM absolutely craving it. PickleMe Sour is that for me. I know what it sounds like, but trust me, this is can't miss. I remember on my first visit, I asked the server about it with an incredulous "PickleMe Sout??!!??" She gives me a knowling smile, pulls a taste off for me, and I instantly ordered a pint, as she knew I would. It was that good. I haven't had a beer here I dislike. The pizza is always phenomenal. On my first trip I had The Hook Tender and it was great. The second trip (went out of my way by hundreds of miles to come back) I had the Quit Yer Bitchin and was very pleased. My daughter had the Margerita and loved it. My wife had the BBQ Chicken salad and raved about it, The ambience is great. This is not a big town, so that number of folks that I see coming through to pick up dinner tells me this place is a hit with the locals as well. We stayed as a Harvest Host guest on both occasions, and this is by far my favorite Harvest Host. A large outdoor patio with plenty of seating makes this place very dog friendly so long as you keep them on a leash. There is also indoor seating if you are so inclined, I travel with my dogs so I have only sat outside. The service is great. The servers are knowlegable, friendly and funny. They are happy to reccomend beers or foods based on what you have enjoyed before. The staff is clearly welcoming to all guests, with no bigotry what-so-ever which is great to see. I wish I didn't live two states away, but I look forward to returning. Maybe they will let me buy a keg of PickleMe Sour to take home with me if I as nicely ahead of time.

A small town brewery frequented by locals, nothing to the size and scope that I'm privileged to see in Seattle but a good local place to serve its patrons spirits and food. While they did not have what my family was looking for (that being pretzels) it still is a great location in Raymond with the ability to bring your furry friends through the brewery towards the beer garden, where the staff ensures they have a bowl of water ready for them as you take your seats. A nice smaller place that has the sense of something that will be great as the Willapa Brewing Company begins to take flight in the state of Washington with more word of mouth. A great little place to stop by if you are on the way to the beach.

I'm telling you. This is not your ordinary local pub…read more Gastronomically, Gorgeous. I could only decide (because there were ingenious choices) when our bar server, Hannah, suggested "Sweet Heat." Listed under "Pinsa Flat Bread" it came out 12"x6" thick bread perfectly browned in oven with gooey garlic/mozzarella but, wait, caramelized onions, thick-diced grilled chicken that tasted like bacon. Every two or three inches, one pickled jalapeño perfectly placed for heat that didn't burn, and over it all, drizzled HOT HONEY!!! My mouth was ecstatic. Pretty soon I couldn't wait to cut with my fork and knife to have my third and fourth triangled piece. Sitting, leaning over the high long bar, I just held the sticky, sweet cheesy spicy bread with all ten fingers tipping my head to catch the drips. Passion Orange Guava Cider washed it all down. I made a trip to the restroom and wash my hands then stopped at the kitchen window to rave about the menu with Clayton, the cook. This was all on a summer Monday night in June, low west sun shining into the cozy wood space, baseball silenced on the three screens, fun, toe-tapping music the whole two hours we stayed. The Gibbons couple have scored the times with their courage to do local, unusual creative food with a dialed-back vintage vibe.

We also liked that they had TVs showing different football games.

We arrived before 5:00 pm, and it took a while to even put an order in. Even though we were sitting in the bar and there were a LOT of servers/bussers/etc. We ordered the Mushroom burger, the Chicken Bacon Guac burger and the Prime Rib Dip. Let's start with the pros - the Chicken Bacon Guac burger was pretty good! But the Prime Rib Dip had something like shredded meat on it, not sliced meat. So, when you dipped it in the Au jus, chunks of meet fell into the Au jus. Be ready to fish them out with a fork! The Mushroom burger was an exceptionally thin burger. Our server asked how we wanted it cooked. But it didn't matter. A burger that thin was coming out well done, no matter what. It had mushrooms on it, but not many at all. And we ordered the Cajun Tater Tots. Tonight, it was just like someone cooked tater tots, then shook some seasoning on them, and maybe the lid fell off the seasoning? They were drenched in some kind of Cajun-adjacent spice. We had recently been telling visiting guests that the Lost Roo was the one consistent, reasonably priced restaurant on the peninsula. We're going to have to stop telling people that now. Sadly, it'll be a while before we go back.

Was in town for a weekend get-away and was searching for a veggie burger that was homemade with…read moregood/nutritious ingredients (quinoa, black bean etc). Found Fort George right down the street from our hotel and they had a black bean burger on the menu (whooo!) Headed over for a late lunch/early dinner at 3 pm. You can choose from the wood fired pizza section upstairs (I believe they take reservations) or the pub downstairs (first come first serve) which has a few indoor tables, some semi-outdoor tables that are well covered with a roof and glass sides, or a fully outdoor beer garden with covered and un-covered picnic tables. You order at the counter and then pick your table, they'll drop off the food to you. We opted for the black bean veggie burger which came with pepper jack cheese, guac, some Aioli, and a side of fries. It was very good and exactly what we were craving. They did have a vegan chicken sandwich that looked good but instead I went with a side salad with poppy seed dressing. The salad was fresh and so delicious and the dressing was perfection! Also did a side of hummus and veggies. The hummus wasn't fresh/home made, rather it was from a local place (I believe) and was pretty good. We didn't have their beer but they did have a large selection with varying ABVs and types (the fresh hop IPAs looked extra good); however we didn't see any non-alcoholic options when we looked. We had the ice tea which was fine as well as a Lüp, which was a sparkling hop water, it was pretty good. They also have a gift shop with shirts, hats, beers, and more. They had four (!!!) different types of aged barleywines - we regret not getting some to bring back home. Everyone working was also welcoming, friendly, and helpful when I had a few questions about the menu. Would recommend and we'll come back the next time we're in town !

The broad outdoor patio is absolutely incredible, and a place to spend any nice weather day. I am a big fan of all the fish and chip varieties that they have cooked over the years. The beers are all fantastic and make any moment worth it for me. I was lucky to experience two separate experiences here last weekend, and, the first was the worst. After waiting in a short line for 25 minutes, we finally decided to depart, since we were in a rush and could not continue to wait for 3 more groups to move at a pace of one per five minutes. Terrible experience - put more people up from or go mobile menu! Later that day, we spent a good hour here for a wedding happy hour, with the venue rented. Beers were great, and they made the best White Summer (50% beer, 50% cider) I have had! The food were all fantastic, and the barrel room was a great space with good access to stand outside. However, the staff were quite rude to several guests about drinking alcohol outside - the door sign was often blocked or too small - and we were told to not use the general patio - so figure that out to make it a more positive experience.

I'll start this review off by saying that I love Cathlamet. It's a quaint little historic town…read morewith a rich history and really nice people. I've been visiting here a dozen times a year for four decades. There are a few eateries here. Many seem to come and go although there are a couple that have survived the test of time. RM38 is a newcomer... used to be in a small building with VERY limited hours. I gather their main biz was brewing craft beer for a very small clientele of businesses and the "saloon" was mostly a side hustle to help pay the rent. So I see they moved into new digs down at the marina. I won't take off any stars for the following since this seems to be their new business model: Offering uber-expensive, skimpy portions of not especially tasty food targeted to yuppies who have more money than brains. Suffice to say that you won't see many Bikers hanging out here. The good: Their patio has a nice river view and a pleasant breeze. Sitting out there enjoying a cold one on a hot Summer day is very pleasant. And during the Fall too so long as it's not raining. People complain about the lack of parking which is not an issue when you show up on a motorcycle. But there are LOTS of places to park although you may have to walk a few yards... you poor darlings. Staff is less than amazing but they are always courteous towards me. I suppose I am no more their dream customer than they are my dream hangout. But Bikers tend to be very generous tippers so they might want to keep that in mind. There's one long-established watering hole in Cathlamet but it's a dark, indoor venue. I like it there and it's more of a dive bar with very good food. The thing about Cathlamet is that if you are just an occasional visitor you have many options of where to stop for a meal and/or drink and never get bored. There's also a few good places at the other end of the ferry ride in Westport, Oregon. Hard to say how long RM38 will stay in business. I'm actually surprised that they lasted in their original location for so long considering that they were only open for a few hours during the weekend. It would be great if they quit pretending to be an upscale eatery and instead focused on providing a good value, tasty, filling meal for the money. Again, no minus stars for that but until new management comes along and makes some changes it will just be a pint or two for me and i'm on my way. Of course as always YMMV.
