McMenamins East 19th Street Café

Travis Bracco

Always a fantastic experience here. Excellent food and drink menu that we can always count on, rotating seasonal cocktails and draft beers that never miss, and incredibly friendly staff. The host Jackson went above and beyond to make sure our party was all good and had everything we needed, even going out of his way to run our drink orders back when they were getting busy. I will always trust McMenamins to deliver quality food, drinks, and service, no matter what.

I never write negative reviews, or at least haven’t until this point, check my history. My girlfriend and I ordered a couple drinks, the TNT chicken tenders “dark starred” that are supposed to come with ranch and honey mustard plus an extra side of mystic sauce and Cajun tots and the terminator steak medium rare with truffle fries. The tenders came out without being dark starred, the tots not cajun, and only ranch with no honey mustard and no mystic sauce. Turns out they were out of the honey mustard and neglected to say anything when I ordered them but they kinda corrected the rest. The steak came out rarer then rare and the truffle fries were incredibly inedibley salty, my girlfriend couldn’t eat any of it. She also ordered a spicy margarita since it was cinco de mayo and the waiter brought her a Bloody Mary lol. Literally everything we ordered was wrong or bad, except our first 2 drinks. We complained and asked for the manager and it turned out our waiter was the manager. Don’t worry though, he took a single dollar of our $80 tabs. We left without finishing and will never be back.

The food is good and tasty, but the customer service can improve. First the host was not very welcoming, he asked how many of us and came in to see the table and never confirmed if we had to wait or anything. He just went and moved some dishes, went to the kitchen several times and made us wait at the door for a long time. Finally when he came back he didn't apologize or anything, he just took us to our table where we waited too long to be served. The waitress was very nice, but we can tell that she had a lot to do with very little staff. We waited a long time also for our food and for the bill. It was good and the place has a good vibe but can definitely improve on the service.

At least a 30 minute wait for our food, but they did give us a heads up. The curry bowl was very flavorful. The burger was good. The French fries were better than the tater tots. They had a decent beer selection as well. The service was good. There was lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Cheers 🍻
