3.0 of 5 stars. We are new to the Portland area and wanted to eat at Beaches initially, but we were dissuaded from going because there was a huge crowd. At McMenamin's we took the last open table and was seated...

Yelp.com Review - by Gwen C.

4.0 of 5 stars. Take the usual deal involved with McMenamin's. Great happy hour, good beer, excellent tots, decent food other than cajun tots, and absent-minded but endearing and friendly service. McMenamin's starts...

Yelp.com Review - by Lizzie B.

4.0 of 5 stars. Yes, I think the McMenamin's Empire might be inherently evil. Yes, I've got my gripes with many of the locations and services they have to offer. Yes, they've got a good thing going, and I will...

Yelp.com Review - by Callie T.

3.0 of 5 stars. I have been here quite a few times and always enjoy a pint of their Ruby beer. Very tasty. But the real reason to come here is to enjoy a beer on their deck in the summer. Right on the river, so there...

Yelp.com Review - by michael m.

4.0 of 5 stars. I've gone to a good number of the McMens at this point and a lot of them have a really great feel to them. This one is lacking a bit in environment, but the patio area can't be beat in the summer (and...

Fun and great beer

Great View! Excellent Food, Good Beer and Fun Time!

Like other McMen's they keep the menu choices limited. They have developed a formula that works! Excellent Burgers, sandwishes, salads, and appetizers. My wife likes their beer and I love their chicken strips....

Awesome ambiance, great food, slow service

Although some people do not understand the fact that sometimes distractions (Airports) and slow service (Due to it being busy) are out of the staff's control. People (first reviewer) should know that there are...

Don't go here for lunch

The server was nice, but pretty much clueless. It took him 10 minutes to great us, 10 minutes to come back for our order, and another half hour for our food (just soup and sandwiches) to arrive. Then he...
