Yes, Eat here!!

Excellent in all departments. Food/Service/Setting/Location! I highly recommend this place as a must eat here. Best of all, they also sponsor events. I was glad to see that they were a sponsor for the Bridge of the Gods Half Marathon. It's great to read local places getting involved in local events.

Stunning location with terrific food!

My wife and I stopped in here for lunch on our way to Hood River. It is a small place with beautiful outdoor seating directly next to the river and Thunder Island. The view was stellar and the food was outstanding. I'd go back in a minute.

Worth the walk to the end of the road

We were sightseeing in the area via a shuttle bus. We walked down to the brewery after a boat ride. The place is a bit out of the way but totally worth a visit. We enjoyed drinks on the outdoor patio area while soaking in the beautiful scenery. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Amazing, Scenic Brewery!

I had an incredible time at Thunder Island with my fiance! The beers are complex and delicious, as is the chocolate brownie dessert! The brewery is beautiful and lies right along the river. We were in walking distance from our Airbnb and just followed the sounds of the live band to find it! Would love to go back if every back in Cascade Locks.

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.
