Had An Amazing Jumbo Burger today! I added bacon and jalapenos and boy was it good! Highly recommend There Fries and Onion rings aswell. Overall had a great experience!
Best burgers and fries around the area! Such a staple in the community. Food is fresh and service is quick and everyone is always so nice. Kid friendly in the main restaurant and patio but also has a bar side with a pool table and plenty of seating and a great selection of beer/ciders. Used to be cash only but they do accept cards now with a small service fee.
This often is one of the top rated burger places in the Portland metro area. I’ve been coming here for years and it’s consistently delicious. The prices are reasonable and the portions are large. And the service is always friendly and down to earth. The bar is cozier than the restaurant side but kids are only allowed in the restaurant side. The outdoor area is nice for dining or drinking when the weather is warm. It’s located a mile or two off the 26 Hwy out in Hillsboro but worth stopping by if you are traveling out that way. And I must mention the Jumbo Burger. It is huge, delicious and affordable. My son had to cut it into quarters to handle it last time we were here. Recommended!!
Always a favorite please to go and love the option to sit outside. We opted for the onion rings, which are amazing! Was happy to see that they switched to Pepsi!
The Atmosphere is pretty amazing. Great place and vibes. Good drinks, and I hear the cheeseburger is highly recommended
This place certainly doesn’t need my review, but I felt inclined just because I saw negative comments in other reviews. I’ve been wanting to come here for a long time upon recommendations from multiple friends. So it finally happened and I was not disappointed. I went on a Monday so I didn’t have to deal with any huge crowds that could potentially happen on weekends and I was able to sit immediately. Both of the ladies who served us were very friendly and were very welcoming. I ordered the Jumbo cheeseburger with fries. When it came to the table the bun was larger than a normal burger so I knew it was going to be a big boy. Two very decent sized patties filled the bun, along with their delicious burger sauce. Every bite was delightful. Juicy, very well seasoned, I was very happy. I feel like it was fairly priced given the size, especially these days. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend. I’ll be back for sure.
True tavern food with a great vibe—middle of farm country. We dropped by on a local recommendation. Took the dark, wet roads, and there it was, a welcoming roadside pub. Massive burger. Fish and chips—decent batter, on a tray (thank you for not serving it in a basket). Local beers: Migration Hazy and Wanderlust IPA. Loved the staff energy! Friendly, fun. Maybe it was the sing-along soundtrack: Drift Away, You Make My Dreams, Stuck in the Middle with You, and Respect (all hail Queen Aretha). No frills booths and tables. Pool table. Impressive ball cap ceiling, including good Navy-cover collection over the bar. Visit #: 1 Will go back
We went on a Thursday night, just around 4:30 or so. When we went in, we just sat wherever we wanted to. The dining area inside is small, maybe 6 or 7 tables, there was a bar with stools at the front, maybe could fit 4 or 5 people there. It didn't take long to get our menus and to order. Our waitress was nice and so were the other waitresses. Our food was promptly brought out to us. We hand the cheeseburger and fries and onion rings. The burgers were delicious, the fries were crispy and wonderful, and the onion rings were also delicious. There is outdoor seating and bathrooms inside.
