Ashwood Taps and Trucks — Restaurant in Washougal

On my visit on 9/4, I had perused the four food carts they have, and the main ale hall as well, with the following reviews.

Taco King: while a fairly recent addition to the four cart area, it has very friendly staff and a decent, if a bit on the higher price menu. I got the jumbo burrito which comes with house tortilla chips and salsa, both were good though not exceptionally so, I rate this cart a 4 for food, 5 service, 5 atmosphere.

The Cravery: definitely a place to go if you are in the mood for smash burgers, starting at 13 dollars for the basic smash burger, you can select a wide variety of free toppings including spicy and teriyaki mayo. I got the smash burger with lettuce, pickle, mustard, tomato, spicy mayo, as well as fried egg and thick cut bacon at extra cost.. overall. The burger is one I would get every time i find myself over there.. combined with a friendly staff, I give this cart a solid 5 across the board.

Getta Gyro: while to be honest I can't remember when the last time I had a gyro, this experience was well worth it. A good range of selection with vegetarian options (not sure if there are vegan options as I didn't ask) I had gotten the traditional gyro, with a mix of lamb and meat, and falafel fritters as a side, the belt of flavors was just right for a nice refreshing meal, with the fritters adding a bit of zing spice wise. Though only one person is running the cart, my order was finished fairly rapidly, so I give this cart a solid 5 across rye board.

Shaved ice: my apologies for not remembering the full name, it is easy to spot, being a unique converted VW van, this cart serves shaved ice in a bowl with a very wide selection of flavors, as well as a traditional Hawaiian finger food called spam musubi, which is kinda like spam sushi but with teriyaki. Even better you get to watch as the server shaves the ice and forms it, and adds the toppings.. So one shaved ice for six dollars. Plus 2 spam musubi for 5 each, is a good deal for what you get. I recommend this place for those wanting a cool treat on a hot day.. or any day really.. I give this place a solid five across the board. Though if you are interested in going I would recommend it to be very soon, so I heard the owner of this cart is planning on moving elsewhere at the end of September of soon thereafter.

The main ale hall(inside the building) nice and comfortable atmosphere, with a friendly bartender and a good selection of local brews, ales and ciders, it also has a small selection of non alcoholic options including a kabocha and a very good draft root beer on tap. I got a root beer to go along with my selects from the carts and enjoyed them in there. The hall also has scheduled square dances for Thursday evenings if you want to check that out... Overall experience is a solid 5 stars...

Hmmm. This is a tough one. It's new, so I'll be kind and patient (constructive criticism). First off, great outdoor space (although hot in direct summer light) for kids to run around, and for families to hang out! I'm assuming they will eventually have more play options, since that is one of their main focuses (family friendly). Nice indoor seating with tv's for sports (hoping they may have Timbers/Seahawks viewing parties in the future). Beer choices are adequate, but not stellar. Major downside are the food options. Three food trucks when we were there. One was closed (Saturday afternoon @ 4pm??). The burger cart was out of most options, and only had dogs and fries left. The gentleman/owner/manager seemed over stressed, and was being very firm (rude tone) with customers. Told people "no orders for 10 minutes", so they could "catch up". Never heard of this before. Perhaps new to the biz. Bowl cart had great options, but only one person working. I stood around waiting for 10 minutes to put an order in, but the single employee was busy making orders, so not taking any additional ones. Left and came back 20 minutes later, and it was the same situation (perhaps I missed my window of opportunity?). Ended up settling for a dog and fries at the stressed-out burger cart (kid's gotta eat something). Parking lot is small, and was half filled with full-size lifted trucks, which in some cases were flowing over their spot into other spots ('Murica!). Heard a couple pull in, and drive out cursing about the parking situation.

This is a good spots for families and friends (larger groups) wanting to just hang out and have beverages (and maybe bring outside food with, which appears to be acceptable), let the kids play with other kids, but only during non-peak times. I'm sure this place will improve over time, so please just be patient...

This place is a beer lover's paradise, with an incredible selection of local and regional craft beers on tap.

Now, I know what you're thinking, "But Jonny, what about the food?" Well, let me tell you something, folks - they've got some amazing food trucks parked outside! There's a rice bowl truck, a burger truck, a barbecue truck, and even a gyro truck! The variety is just incredible, folks!

Personally, I'm a big fan of the burger truck. The patties are juicy and cooked to perfection, and the toppings are fresh and delicious. And let me tell you, the barbecue truck is no slouch either. The meats are tender and flavorful, and just out of this world!

And if you're looking for something a little healthier, the rice bowl truck is a great option. The bowls are loaded with fresh veggies and protein, and the flavors are just amazing. And don't even get me started on the gyro truck - the meats are perfectly seasoned, and the tzatziki sauce is just perfect!
