Delicious brisket chili. Great flavor. Bread seems homemade.

Delicious brisket chili. Great flavor. Bread seems homemade. Insanely good ginger hot toddy. Sat at bar but lots of seating options. Really friendly staff. Next to good antique shops. Beer selection extensive.

The Willie Dicks menu
Nick S.

We were on our way from Portland to Longview, and we wanted to get a bite to eat. We noticed that Willie Dicks was on the way and it had solid reviews so we checked it out. We arrived less than an hour before they closed, but the employees were very gracious and hospitable. Our server was incredibly sweet and attentive. She made small talk with us, and after finding out we weren't from this area, she gave plenty of recommendations for Longview and Astoria. She was awesome! Willie Dicks is known for their hot dogs/brats, but the menu has so many great options. There's plenty of beer and other beverages to choose from as well. The restaurant is located on a quaint drag with other boutiques and restaurants. The interior is cozy, and there's plenty of seating. Some tips: Definitely try one of their hot dogs. I didn't and I totally regretted it when I saw some of them come out. Also, these bad boys are sizable, so, you could order more than one, but one should be sufficient. For a side, choose the potato Mac & cheese salad that has bacon and is delicious Cheers!!

There are less than a handful of places that I update reviews on - this is one of the few. Willie Dicks continues to maintain a family friendly environment that consistently offers good food, excellent service and an enjoyable experience. I'm pleased to share that they received their (well deserved); " Best of Southwest Washington (Taphouse.)" Award. We've been referring to them as the "Cheers of Kalama," they *are that, but the modern version and so much more! If you're driving down, the I-5, do not miss this place!

Super cute downtown pub. They smoke all of their own meats, pickle their own veggies, and have a couple dozen local brews. I got the Shoug root beer and the brisket sandwich.

Frito pie dog

Super friendly server. Prompt service. Really good rotating beer/cider selections. We came to try their dogs, I mean who doesn't enjoy a good gourmet's down and dirty dog. Definitely DOWN with the cool menu, nothing dirty about. Too bad we were just passing through, I would definitely be a regular if I live in the area. The house made chili and beer cheese on my frito pie dog was tasty and the Sanchez dog was really good too.

My receipt

I took a lunch break in Kalama and Willie Dick's Taphouse was the choice. I got there shortly after opening at 11 am and the place was empty with a lone employee working. He was nice and kept busy the entire time I was there. I saddled up to the bar and ordered the Frito Pie Dog and a Diet Coke (can). I started with the homemade salsa and Juanita's chips. I thought the homemade salsa sounded really good in theory but as I ate it I wasn't really impressed. Not getting that again. I loved my Frito Dog (more Frito's on it please next time) as it had chili, cheese jalapenos and, of course, Frito's. The winner was the huge hot dog as it was very flavorful and satisfying. Kinda messy but that's to be expected. It also came with some more Juanita's chips. No other customers came while I was there and the employee said they usually get busy after noon with the lunch crowd. He said they will have been open for 4 years come this Memorial Day. Overall, I like this place as it's newer, has good food and a great beer selection. I'd come back when in the area again.

The Hippie - a veggie dog with just a little kick...and plenty of toppings.

We ended up here after find too long of a wait across the way at McM's and it was such an amazing choice! No wait, and friendly and fast service for a car full of travelers. There are endless choices on tap (Blackberry Cider; Black Tea IPA; and Breakside Pilsner were had at our table), and some delicious dogs and tacos. There were even multiple vegetarian options, a very kid-friendly menu and games, and local hot sauce for everyone! The dogs come loaded with toppings - knives and forks are highly recommended. The default side is crinkly chips for the dogs and tortilla chips for the tacos, but you can sub out homemade sides for just a little more. Absolutely delicious eats - this will become a regular stop for us! (As for the pictures - the food came out nicer initially, but we couldn't resist a bite or two before remembering to snap a photo.)

Got lucky finding this spot while fleeing the smoke and "hazardous" air quality. The sign caught our attention as we drove through the hazy smoke swirling around this cute little mountain town! It's a spacious, inviting tap room, with plenty of room for social distancing. They do a great job with the Covid safety measures, all wearing masks, hand sanitizer etc. Order at the bar/register and the staff are super welcoming and friendly, as were the locals having pints inside! Very chatty and informative about the area. There's also a large selection of games to play! They have a plethora of local brews on tap to try. However, I didn't have any because I was driving so can't speak to them. I ordered the cranberry chicken salad sandwich. They served it in ciabatta bc they were out of the regular offering. No frills...served with potato chips.The chicken salad was excellent! Perfect combination of savory and creamy with the slight sweetness of the cranberries! The bread was a bit much so I ended up leaving most of it. My friend had it in a wrap which looked much better. It was still excellent though! No regrets!

Brisket sandwich

See all

Southwest Portland

On our tulip farm trip, we unexpectedly stopped by The Westgate at 09:00 PM and were impressed!…read moreRight at the entrance to your right there's a bottle shop with an outstanding selection of spirits & better yet, for a $3 fee, you can enjoy your pick with your dinner. The service stood out just as much and was kind, polite, attentive, and lightning fast. Laura Y. made our experience memorable with her professionalism and genuinely positive, spot on attitude. The space has a classy feel with brick walls and dim lighting (which sometimes made it hard to see the details of your dish). There's also a separate hall with three pool tables if you're looking for a more private setting. The food menu is short and well made, featuring a range "we liked" dishes like the Wagyu burger, the Farmboy salad, and Rick Reuben sandwich, where each was sliced and shared. As for the drinks, the menu is the kind you actually sit and explore for a while, so you better know what you want. Overall it's a great spot to enjoy quality food, awesome drinks from all over the world (Czech beers, 40 year old Spanish Porto), and a fun, relaxed time with your friends.

A dark moody bar located near the central shopping district with odd hours…read more This one opens late afternoon and is scheduled to stay open late into the night. However, 2 hours early the staff shut down the small dining area. Leaving customers packed into an uncozy space. The staff looked stressed and was overtly short on words. Thankfully our waitress was a one off. The food was cold and the old fashion was pretty awful (despite requesting my bourbon by name). Establishment definitely has potential if the staff can deliver.

Sadly I must give an overall score of 3 stars. I'll start with the best things first. We were…read moreimmediately and warmly greeted. It was a Saturday evening about 6:00 pm so we knew we might get caught in a crowd and were prepared to wait. I was impressed with our server and the different menu options she shared with us. We each ordered a simple cup of soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. (see pics) The vibe was great with darts, shuffleboard and a DJ setting up for karaoke night. How fun! Here's where it went downhill. We waited over 20 minutes to get our food, we never were asked if we needed anything else or if our food was good ( or correct) and our water and ice tea glasses were never refilled. Now I realize that our very nice server was busy, but she passed our table SEVERAL times without saying a word. As for our food, my chicken noodle soup had way too much pepper in it and my husband's tomato bisque was too spicy. (& he likes it spicy!!). Also, I ordered cheddar cheese not swiss cheese for my grilled cheese sandwich. I eventually decided to eat it since I was hungry and knew that I'd have to wait even longer if I returned it. This is our second visit here and sadly the service wait time then (about 6 months ago) was also "forgettable" All and all, if you are going to hang out and party with your friends, I would say GO! But if you want to go and get a meal, be prepared to be patient and allow A LOT of time.

Looking over the menu, a lot of it seems pretty pricey. But then I saw 18 wings for $25. Seems like…read morea good deal to me, especially for bone in. Overall they were decent. The spicy buffalo wasn't too spicy but I did add some more buffalo sauce. The wings were a good size with lots of meat. All 18 were flats which I didn't really enjoy. They also needed to be cooked longer. They were cooked thru but had no crispy part on the outside. Same thing with the fries. Put it all in the air fryer at home and they were much better. I'll ask for well done next time, and I'd like to try the pizza. I've never been but have also heard this is a good karaoke spot on saturdays.
