Very clean and quiet, the food and service was fantastic.. Thank you for a great night! We had the Fish and Chips, Triple Threat Burger, Mai Tais, and Shrimp Tempura! Mai Tais were unbelievably fresh and so was the Shrimp! Both of our entrees were cooked perfectly, we both loved our meals!
What an added gem to Forest Grove! Great menu. The food was really good! I'll definitely be back because I want to try the barbecue. I had to try a burger my first time. The mac n cheese is probably the best mac I've ever had! The dog sauce was almost a little too spicy, but it kind of subsides as you get through the burger. Those who don't like spicy, don't get it or ask for it on the side. The burger was delicious! The space is big and open and they have outdoor seating. The cooks are amazing too! Especially Naomi, she knows how to cook! I highly recommend checking this place out!
Incredible food, great selection on the menu. There’s a little something for everyone. The staff are very friendly and take pride in what they do. It can get a little crowded sometimes, which obviously is a good sign. But if you want a fun place with a rick and roll vibe and great food give it a shot.
Great restaurant and bar here in Forest Grove. I just got chicken tenders off the starters menu and the portion was huge. They also let me upgrade to sweet potato fries, which were incredible. My mom ordered the plank roasted salmon and the Cassafrass cocktail, and we split a peach crisp for dessert. Food was excellent, service was quick and attentive. Probably more attentive than many other restaurants I’ve been to recently with all the staff shortages and supply shortages going on. The place was mostly empty when we walked in (around 5pm) and was pretty full by the time we finished our meal. Will definitely be back here the next time I’m in Forest Grove.
We don’t come here often, but it’s a treat when we do. Loved the atmosphere & seeing tables filled with families & couples - always a nice feeling seeing people soending time & having a meal together at a table.
FYI, Blackdog refers to the Led Zeppelin song... Delicious drinks and food. Victoria is an amazing mixologist! My stroganoff with brisket was delish. My wife’s rib bowl was excellent! All the specialty drinks were great! The traditional whisky sour with egg whites... Amazing! The sazerac drink, superb. Asked Victoria for a drink off the cuff, she asked my likes and served me an amazing drink. The price was higher than usual because we had several delicious drinks UPDATE: we went back again last night and had a great experience again. The staff are so friendly and helpful and fun. Had the brisket and macaroni and cheese, AMAZING! I will go back for that for sure . It was so good! Other bartenders made great drinks, too.
Had the briscuit, cornbread, and Mac/cheese. I was surprised by how good the mac/cheese was. Hamburgers and fries were also good. Plenty of seating and good vibe. Friendly staff. Little high on burger price. No diet coke, only coke zero. Updated: Had the seafood pasta. It was really good! Service was really good .
I recently traveled from Vancouver and I had the opportunity to explore different dining options. I came across a restaurant that had received great recommendations and decided to give it a try. The food was overall quite delicious, particularly the brisket and the slow-cooked spicy sausage that I ordered. However, I did notice that the French bread on the bruschetta was slightly overdone.
