Tough to find, but great to find

We were staying in Portland and went east for the day to check out the natural wonders of the Columbia River gorge. After hiking trails above Multnomah Falls and visiting Horsetail Falls, we were hungry and in search of lunch. We knew to head to the town of Cascade Locks and we'd been told about this place, so we made the effort to find it. Even with GPS, we were certain we were heading the wrong way under a bridge and down a lonely road with nothing but what looked like an old barn in front of us. But we were in the right place, and we were happy we found it. You order at the counter (there are menus outside) and then you are welcome to sit at a table and wait for your food and drink to be brought out to you. Although there is some indoor seating, as long as it's not raining you're missing out on the gorgeous scenery of the river gorge. The food was tasty and plentiful, and the two different house beers we tried were fresh and tasty. I enjoyed my Cowboy Salad. But I was jealous of the people at the next table who ordered the biggest and most delicious looking plate of nachos I've ever seen. Come for the food, stay for the view.

Great Food with a View

We enjoyed Nachos and Burgers in a relaxed atmosphere with a great view along the River. We don’t even drink alcohol but the root beer float was great. This is a family friendly environment.

Fantastic find!!!

I sometimes have to coerce my family to stop at "yet another brewery" but after settling in, all three of us loved this little brewery! A bit difficult to find, but well worth it! We were amazed at all the people -- standing in line -- on the Saturday we stopped by. We soon found out why! The beers they brew on site are fantastic and the food is wholesome, creative and delicious (the Portobello sandwich was fabulous)! On top of all, they have friendly staff and a wonderful view! I can't think of a thing that could make the place better! We "discovered" the place somewhat by accident, but if we're back in the area again, it will be high on the priority list to revisit!

Beer with a view

The Salmon dip was so tasty and fresh. The view was relaxing and so pretty. Highly recommend making a stop even if you aren't a beer fan. We got to enjoy the outside but they even have band some nights.
