McMenamins Pub at Kalama Harbor Lodge

___

Not really worth it. Overpriced, low quality food in small proportions. If you're staying at the hotel I guess you don't have much choice but don't drive yourself out here for the food. You can enjoy the shoreline without eating at the pub. Drinks are what you'd expect from McMenamins. Decent beer and cocktails. Waitstaff did their best during the rush but the kitchen kept making errors, causing confusion, comps, and disappointment all around. Not an easy job, I know, but I cant recommend the experience and end result. Kudos to the waitstaff keeping it together. Don't give them any guff. If you want a hamburger, I recommend getting 2 for $5 whoppers at Burger King instead and sitting on the patio or shoreline with some beers. If you want a cafeteria-grade burger with tater tots and bad produce and money is no object, consider dining here for the lols. Otherwise, stick to drinks and have patience.

Food was decent but cold and overpriced. Had the carnivore pizza and salmon burger. The burger was dry even though the fish was not over cooked. Service was mediocre but the environment was pleasant. Sat on the patio and the weather was great. Wished the railing was lower to view the river better, though.

Seriously one of the most beautiful restaurants in the area... tricky to get to but well worth the effort. Secret rooms, eclectic decor and a beach to boot!! There's something for everyone here!! It's more than a restaurant it's like a destination (it's literally a lodge and you can stay here😉) I loved the history and education you get from reading the walls. There's even authentic totem poles that are massive and beautiful... simply amazing and pure entertainment for the eyes and soul. I'm not a drinker so I can't speak about the bars but there's even a log cabin about a 1/2 mile away where they used to hang out and drink by the fire along the water. You gotta check this place out!!

We had a great time eating lunch here. The location is perfectly "western Washington". It is right on the Columbia River. There is a beach where you can watch the steam ships go by. Large cargo ships sit on the river. I had the panzanella salad. It was delish. My friends loved the hummus plate and the Aztec salad. We found the secret rooms and it was awesome!!! So much fun.
