54°40′ BEER — Restaurant in Washougal

UPDATE: Be aware, no service at this location and no signs indicating have moved location. Showed up on Friday night with no indication on this site or on the doors what was going on, so we left. Discovered after we ate somewhere else that they were shifting food service to Kascadia Public House 3307 Evergreen Way Suite 301B, Washougal, WA 98671 At least post something obvious. Disappointed

Small brew pub with community atmosphere tucked way back in an industrial park. Some nice live edge tables, a fireplace, and music in the front section makes for good experience. However we ended up with a table in the back that had several booths and tables, no music, and much noticeably colder (most likely due to being close to the brewing operation. Who wants warm beer right ;-)? ) I recommend sitting in the front if you can find a table. Sitting outside would be nice but not in December. Order at the bar and get your quick beer samples and drinks from friendly staff. Cider selection was VERY limited. Would be nice to see a couple more local ciders available. Food service at table was quick and attentive and brought us some condiment bottles. The burgers were good size, plenty of onions and pickles, and cooked to medium. Very juicy, so keep lots of napkins handy. Fries were fresh and cooked with just right amount of crisp but a tad heavy on the salt. We look forward to coming back when it’s warm out and being outside. Especially for a live...

We really used to like this place--used to recommend it to people.

It had (still has, I'd guess) good beer and a nice-enough atmosphere. Service is utilitarian but no major complaints (order at counter). We would often come here, order AT LEAST $100 in food/beer, and the food was really really good at first. After covid, service and menu was really spotty, but most of us had patience because of the times.

My major gripe this past couple years (and why we never come here anymore) is that the quality of cooking has gone downhill by a LOT. We brought friends and family from out of town to show off one of our favorite spots, but the last 3 or 4 times we came here, the food was really below par for comparable places in Washougal and Camas. It embarrassed us 2 times to bring our loved ones here.

Such a disappointment, and when I tried to reach out to the owner via several emails (Just to hear his side and possibly avoid putting a low ranking review here on Google), he finally answered that he would get back to me later and then never wrote or reached out. Too bad--I tried to be nice.

Bottom Line: I think their beer is still good (haven't been back in half a year now, so not sure) and the ambiance warrants a fair 2 star review, but I can't recommend it for a decent meal when you're paying...

April 2019 -- We decided to drop in for Thaco Thursday. Hmm. Tacos were fine, but not great, they were tacos. Pretzel was good. We've decided to give the food another go and maybe try wings next time. Yes, I understand this is a brewery, which implies beer, but as a non-beer lover, I was disappointed in they didn't offer a house wine or any wine. Beer, cider, soda were the choices ... Bummer. If your looking for beer and bar food, this maybe up your alley. It missed the mark, for what we were expecting. However, we will be dropping in again and giving them another try.

Updated July 2019 - Visited again, still no wine, but we did have the steak bites which were AWESOME!!! Still dreaming abt them, so good!! Was hesitant to try loaded fries (in general loaded fries are usually covered in gunky cheese sauce and soggy), BUT ... these fries were wonderful! Crispy outside, flaky inside with chunks of real bacon, green onions and real cheddar cheese! They did feel the need to pour gunky cheese on them, but it was ok. From the first fry to the last, they were all crisp no soggy fries! Upgrading score from 3 stars to 4 ..... Get some wine on the menu and I will gladly score...
