Service was friendly, but slow. Food was only ok. Their Asian-inspired burger was great, but chipotle chicken sandwich was disapointing. We ordered garlic knots as an appetizer, they lacked salt, garlic and flavor. Marinara sauce was too sweet. Prices were high for the quality recieved. I dont mind paying $12 for a chicken sandwich, but it had better be amazing. Great beer selection. However, with so many competing restaurants with good and good food, I dont see myself returning.

This place gets none of the glory of the Kennedy School or Edgefield, but its still a great place to drop in for a drink, dinner or game of pool. Typical funky McMenamins look, but what makes this location special is the chicken tenders on the menu. They arent available at every McMenamins (oh, the humanity!), which is crazy because theyre really good. This location always has a table ready - Ive never had to wait here unless I wanted to sit outside.

Like most bars in Portland nothing different, but a cemetery for single men. The staff was friendly, but slow. The burger made me ill. I did like the environment, but being new and alone was too boring. I been all over Europe I seen establishment like yours and they do single nights once a week. Making great earnings. When I suggested this to the bartender he gave me a dirty look. Whats wrong with single nights??

I work down the street and have ordered take out from this McMenamins before. I call an order in about 15 minutes prior and its ready by the time I walk over there. Its at the very end of 23rd, so its closer for all of us who work in the industrial district. Good burgers and tater tots. Will definitely go back for take out lunch.

One of the best McMenamins I have been in. Off the happy hour menu, the truffle fries are much better than the ones you find at other McMenamins. The milkshake, I had a raspberry and strawberry mix, it was so good! The slider burger was pretty good too. Nice friendly service and good service.

McMenamins has unfortunately homogenized in the last few years, which is understandable considering their size. This is still a very nice place, with a full sized bar and lots of room. Prices are competitive but slightly high.

My favorite McMenamins outside of the Edgefiled Property. Much larger than I expected, the friendliest and quickest service Ive received in a long time at any McMenamins. Already excited to go back!

This is a nice neighborhood McMenamins that has everything your would expect. Its usually not too loud and everyone who works here is very nice. A great place for a no frills beer or burger.

This is one of my favorite McMenamins. I love the vibe here. Sit outside in Summer and enjoy a Ruby. Nestle inside during the rain with a pint of Terminator in one of the cozy booths.

Really nice staff, big place with lots of seating. Enough interesting stuff to look at, fun woodburner in the main area. Towards the top of my McMenamins list.

Good McMenamens, if you like their value then youll like this location, the pool tables are fun. And with all their locations the Cajun tots are delicious.

Excellent place to play pool. Friendly staff, good happy hour and never too crowded. With the addition of the attached bottle shop it is even better!

More or less your standard McMenamins with slightly better service than Ive received at other locations. The food is decent and the beers are good.

I love this place! There is a nice wood burning stove and service is always friendly. Their happy hour is the best. Get a Rubinator.

Were huge fans of McMennamins locations. Love their beer, artwork, "in season" options, and overall quirky atmosphere.
