Alpenstube Restaurant — Restaurant in Hood River

I've been skiing at Mt Hood Meadows since 2007. Alpenstube used to be a "high end" (whatever high end can mean on the scale of an average grade ski resort) - at the very least, it served decent food, significantly better than total junk next to it in the lodge. This year, first ski weekend of the season, Alpenstube turned out to be a total disappointment. Chicken which sounded yammi in the description turned out to be a fast food type fare at ridiculous (for what you get) price. Think "Kentucky fried chicken" at, like, 5x the price with a label of full service restaurant. Fish and chips entrée is gone. Menu got two times shorter than it used to be. $50 for two for junk food? Give me a break! Another step of travel of Mt Hood Meadows ski resort down...

The $12.50 meat and cheese plate sounded appetizing on the menu and indeed the 8 thin slices of sopresata and salami were pretty good - but it should’ve been called a Pickled Vegetable (heavy on the pickled onion) and stale bread plate. The bread tasted several days old and was sort of oily, chewy and hard. The $15.75 Nacho Mountain was impressive in size, but once we were beyond the top layer of guacamole, olives and cheese sauce, It was all chips. There was nothing on the inside of that mountain, just tortilla chips. They did put a layer of cheese sauce on the bottom.

Mark Fellers, the restaurant manager, Should spend more time eating his own food. Bartenders and service people are nice...

This one is for Dana and whichever kind-hearted chef helped her work some magic on Feb 2nd, 2019. I came in with a very strange request to buy a cup of vegetable oil so I could go back to the camper and cook dinner for my kid. Dana got it. She made it happen. Dinner was awesome. I make it a point to never eat in the lodge at a ski resort, but because of this customer service, I'll be making an exception for the 'Stube next weekend.

I'd also like to say this isn't the first time that a staff member at Meadows has gone above and...
