Mt. Hood Brewing Co. — Restaurant in Sandy

I’ve been here a few times now. Nothing stood out before (good or bad), but this visit on Mothers Day warranted a mention.

Vibe and service? Pretty good. Our waitress was very friendly and responsive.

Beer is solid. Several options, all pretty good. I enjoyed a Maibock and Pilsner.

Food is where it all fell flat. It’s a brewery/pub, so the food doesn’t have to stand out, but it sure has to be decent. Our table ordered some kids stuff, but I only tried the pizza we ordered: Pear and Walnut pizza for $19. Unfortunately it’s a very literal 10” in diameter, and that’s your only option. So we’re not talking cheap pizza here.

Our Pear and Walnut pizza came out in a reasonable amount of time, but generally looked unimpressive and cold. Taste kinda matched its looks. It was tough, chewy crust, but not in a good way. More in the “microwave leftovers” crust kind of way. That’s the whole crust, mind you - edges and bottom. I’m not entirely convinced this pizza was even made the same day we ordered it. The cheese was not bubbly or oily - it just looked like warmed cheese that had cooled off for fifteen minutes before being served, which wasn’t the case, because it only took fifteen or twenty minutes to come out.

Our pizza was advertised to have “hot honey,” and they either forgot it or used such a sparing amount that you wouldn’t have known it was there. Pears and cheese just kinda sat there, stale-ish?

The walnuts were particularly interesting, because they were burned on the top. This wasn’t a great flavor, and kind of tasted like burned popcorn. Perhaps they should toast the walnuts and add them after cooking the pizza, or pull the pizza with a couple minutes to spare, adding the toasted walnuts and putting the pizza back in to finish off the cooking process.

I honestly am not sure what else that pizza had on it. The takeaway is popcorn, stale dough, some pears, and reheated cheese.

I think you should go to Mt Hood Brewing, but maybe just for the beer and vibe. The burger and kids cheese pizza at the table were also pretty lackluster, but I didn’t try them, so I won’t review them. I can safely say nearly any food cart or decent fast food burger would be a better investment just based on looks alone.

TLDR, just get a beer and continue on with your day. The food, in my experience, ranges from...

I actually had a wonderful meal here with my family and our waitress was super sweet and provided good service. We tipped her well. The food was really good, although a bit spendy. I got the rock fish tacos which were amazing. The reason for my 1 star rating - the host (younger male) was extremely rude when we were done eating and enjoying our last drink, he came by our table and told us there was a group waiting for our table and asked us when we’d be leaving. He told the group he was waiting for us to leave and continued walking around telling other employees he was waiting for us to leave loud enough for us to hear. We weren’t there for a long time and didn’t linger and felt it was extremely rude for him to be walking around announcing it was us that was keeping another group from being seated. When he came by our table again, I told him that wasn’t very good customer service to do, he didn’t apologize but was even more rude telling us “well people are waiting for you guys to leave.” Again, we weren’t there for a long time and had just finished our meal and were finishing up, didn’t need to be rushed out. He completely ruined what was a very good outing for us. To top it off, I went to the bathroom while my husband packed up the kids and took them out to the car. I was gone for maybe 2 min, and they had already cleared the table and threw away my boxed up leftovers. One employee with terrible customer service can really ruin customers experience, as...

We arrived on a weekday for lunch at around 1pm. The place was about half empty but we had a line. We had to wait a little which was fine. We were seated and told they did not have burgers or pork. We order food. I got a chicken sandwich and a beer, my wife a salad, and my daughter some kids meal. The beer was dropped off quickly and was good. We had to wait awhile for the food. The chicken sandwich wasn’t very good, my wife enjoyed her salad. When we checked out I was not feeling great about the service and overall experience so I tipped $6 on a $60 bill. Not a good tip, not a terrible tip. A few days later I found my card was charged $120. I call the credit card company to dispute the charge. I assume the waiter was upset and added a zero to my tip on the handheld. The credit card company told me to please try to work it out with the vendor first. I call and ask to speak to a manager. I’m told the manager isn’t available but they will call me the next day but would otherwise be informed. The next day I call and am told the manager is not in but will be in later. I call a little past that specified time and the manager is still unavailable. At this point this establishment isn’t taking this situation seriously so I escalate the dispute. It’s been a few weeks and the manager has never called me back. Terrible run business and staff that engage in fraudulent activities. Take your...
