First time visit for lunch was terrific!!

Oct 2020 • none

We were welcomed in or outside (it's covid still); big patio out front by street but we opted to go in. Staff was very friendly; answered all 'first timer' questions with respect and insight. We ordered a micro beer (which is made and supplied from the brewery across the street), a fabulous Bloody Mary and shared an order of recommended fish tacos (2 with all the fixings) Everything was perfect. Pics attached. Highly recommend.

OMG...What a Great Find!!

Jun 2021 • couples

Staying in the Dalles overnight, we were looking for a place to eat other than Cousins (we love it there, but there is very little I can eat) and we found the Rivertap Pub. Excellent servers and they were very attentive to my dietary restrictions. I had a spinach salad with grilled chicken, candied walnuts and apple slices alll tossed in a yummy blackberry glaze dressing. I capped it off with their own root bear and it was tasty, too. My husband had the Alaskan Halibut and Chips, served golden brown and crispy. It looked amazing and he said it was. The Rivertap Pub is our new Go-To.place in the Dalles!!

Dinner with friends (and fishing guide)

Jul 2020 • couples

Met here with our fishing guide for a bite to eat and briefing on our trip the next morning. Great food, friendly staff. All 6 of us loved what we ordered, which ranged from the quesadillas, , to the southwest wrap, (huge, plenty to share), to the burger and chicken sandwich. Would definitely return.

Lackluster experience.

Jul 2021 • couples

Lackluster greeting and flat cider. Beer Cheese fries were good but for $11.00- there should have been more fries. Two Cantina fish tacos for $15. The tacos were bland even with the over-dilled tarter sauce, pico, and fresh lime. The huckleberry cider had a good flavor but it was served warm and flat.

That was awful!

Sep 2022 • couples

Chicken Caesar salad unseasoned pink chicken, lettuce completely drowned served with cold grilled white bread. Veggie burger was a greasy normal. Seemed popular though.

Nice location, food mediocre.

Sep 2023 • family

Nice location, good service. Beer selection was good. Tried the Boxcar Burger. The burger patties had no flavor, there was hardly any moisture to it. When I was asked by the server how the meal was. I told her that it didn’t taste that great and the parties were flat. She said that’s because it was a “smash” type burger. No, this was two dry flavorless burger patties that were over cooked and not juicy. Will not be trying that burger again.

Lovely place to relax and eat.

Sep 2021 • family

Feeling a little wind swept and hungry, having driven alongside the Columbia all day it was nice to sit and have a beer and burger. Great service, great beer and great food. I will go again next time I am in the Dalles.

Good food, staff. Social distancing, and masking in effect

Dec 2021 • none

Enjoyed the good food here, portions were large, well prepared, interesting and tasty. I know all the restaurants are short-staffed but our waiter was excellent and did not seem harried. Had a booth, which provided perfect Covid-free space while dining indoors.

Rude waitress

Apr 2023 • couples

Stopped for dinner as the sun was out and the patio seating looked so inviting. Greeted with a smile and "sit anywhere". So we took one of several tables outside and chose one that was on the smaller side given there were only two of us. Sat down and immediately the same waitress was at our table talking to us like we were little children and said "don't ever sit down before a table is clean". So we left. Not going to pay for rude service. Stood up immediately and walked out without speaking to the waitress and I said "babe let's go somewhere else". Interestingly as we were walking out our waitress walked to another waitress and we could immediately hear cackling and we had barely crossed the threshold of the sidewalk - this was less than ten seconds after the waitress disciplining us. They may or may not have been laughing at us but I feel it needs to be put in this review. Went across the street and had a great beer and dinner and a wonderfully kind waitress.

Awesome food, great location

Jul 2021 • none

We have made this place one of our new stops whenever we are in town. For a pub their food and presentation are top notch. They also allow our small dog on the patio, which they have made very pleasant to enjoy.

Spotty pub food.

Jan 2020 • business

Worst pub food. Ordered the steak and the Klickitat (wild) salmon. The steak was grizzle and fat. The salmon was definitely farm raised. Good beer cider and services. But no one should order food here.

Took way too long to get food

Jun 2021 • couples

Last 2 visits waited over an hour to get our dinner. First time we figured it an off night. (With no negative review) We understand it's a hard time in hospitality. Staff very friendly but did nothing to save the experience (no offer of a comped drink, discounted bill, free dessert...a little here goes a long way.) Sad, since we're locals and had been regulars pre-covid. Won't be back until were assured of change. Best of luck!

Great Outdoor Seating and Wait Staff

Jul 2021 • none

The times we came here we sat outside and brought our pup. The wait staff were phenomenal with giving attention now only to us, but also our pup (win-win and we showed it in our tip!). The food is great, and the prices are reasonable.

Poor customer service

Jul 2024 • couples

We literally just left here…stopped for breakfast and bloody marys. We went inside and it didn’t look or sound busy at all. Server finished a few things and then gave us menus, told her we’d sit on the patio. Waited what felt like a good 20 minutes for her to take our order, said her help hadn’t shown up yet. Then she went to the table that came 10 minutes after us. That’s fine. Totally reasonable! But after another 15 minutes, the “help” as she called her, delivered 4 bloody marys to the table that arrived after us and we still hadn’t gotten our two. That’s when I said “nope” and we walked out. Won’t be back. First impressions are a big deal.

A good lunch, even if you’re not there for the drinks

Jul 2024 • family

We had lunch at Rivertap during a day trip to The Dalles. To be honest it wasn’t our first choice, largely because the positive reviews focused on the beers rather than the food and none of us were planning on drinking. Fortunately the cuisine proved better than some of the reviews on TripAdvisor suggested. We all went with recommendations made by our server: I had the boxcar burger while the others had the cantina fish tacos. While the service was indeed a little slow, the food made up for it; it was all delicious, and nobody regretted their order.
