We hosted a customer happy hour at Porky's and here's the headline: they get it…read more They reserved a space for us in the back. Then they let us take over a big screen for a presentation during March Madness! That's rare. Most places say they support business events. Porky's actually does. Service? Fast, no friction. Food? Consistently great. No weak links. And Kim, she's the X-factor. Anticipated needs, kept things moving, made a group event feel effortless. That's not luck. That's competence. Bottom line: we're not just coming back, we're building this into our calendar a couple times a year. If you want a place that can handle a group without fumbling the basics, this is it.

I have been here twice now with my boyfriend. This place first caught my attention by having gluten…read morefree options and a full parking lot nearly every time I drive by. I am really glad we gave it a try. I ordered the elk burger with a gluten free bun and potato salad. Also, we ordered a side of steak bites that were cooked very well! The burger was cooked very well to my preference. The bun was good for being gluten free! My martini was perfectly made. I've only been here twice, but each time have been impressed. Service was friendly and quick with each visit. We will definitely be back!

We got a table by the window with a nice view of the river. Our server took our order fast and it was about 5 minutes until the food hit the table. My burger was tasty, cooked well and was loaded with fresh toppings. The fries were crisp and hot. The drink options were great, I had a nice pomegranate cider. All the food options were good. Great view, great service, good food!

Came here on a recommendation from friends. A very modern spot. I loved the snarky menu along with…read morethe signs for the bathroom. My friend recommended the pesto pasta, so thats what I went with. We also got the cheesecurd appetizer. The cheesecurds were nice & crispy. I really like the sauce it came with. My pasta came & at first glance it looked like Caesar salad. The pesto had good flavor,perfectly paired with the rotisserie chicken. The onions & artichokes gave it a good crunch. The portion was big, so I had enough for lunch the next day. Overall really good, try it out if youre in the area.

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.

I also order the steak bites and together makes a tasty meal. Big enough I take half of each home for a meal later. My usual go to is the Taphouse Burger. I often add a second patty. I love the bacon relish and the added jalepeno slices help make this soooo good. Anything you get will make you happy, We love the plentiful order of fries, The Cuban is also good. The owner Tina is so kind and sweet and she has a great staff. The newer outdoor BBQ area that is open when its nice out is freaking out of this world tasty with all the meats!! The sides are good too. Please give this place a try when in town and even worth a short trip up the Gorge from Portland

They…read morehave a really wonderful menu and I especially like the burnt and sandwiches and the giant pretzels. They have great iced tea. They have incredible desserts and I am told the beer selection is really good. We have had their pizzas and several other items on the menu. We have been coming here about eight years now I think this review is long overdue. Definitely would try the menu out at least come for lunch. You will be back for dinner. They have a wonderful outdoor space that's been there since Covid that has lots of sunlight and plenty of room to just breathe and stretch out Personally I like the tables and booths inside. They're a little more cozy to my liking. Definitely worth a stop. The service is great. The staff are very helpful and always willing to help you figure out what to try if you're not sure.

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.

Super friendly, helpful, and nice to our kids. We ordered a quesadilla, wrap, grilled cheese, and a couple of their homemade soups. All of it was a 10/10. She was so nice with our kids and helping to get what we need. The food was as good as the service. It was all sooooo good. The bean soup was one of the best soups we've ever had. The chicken wrap tasted so fresh. We'll be going back for sure, was surprised there wasn't a line out the door. Check it out and let them earn your business!

Not crowded, with attentive but chill service.

We happened to come in during HH (weekdays 3-5) so we got a bretzel w/ beercheese of course ($8) and bratwurst served w/ sauerkraut, mustard & pickle spear ($9). The sauerkraut was a tad sweet IMO but the brat was juicy and tasty. We also got the Schweinsaxe (I think?) which was an enormous pork shoulder hunk w/ nice fried crackling skin on the outside & comes w/ red cabbage and spaetzl. Def recommend sharing this big boy. It was good and all but I wish there was a bit more flavor to it than just meat flavor. The only thing for me is I find German beers to all be a bit too sweet for me as someone that likes stronger beers like IPAs but not dark beers much.
