Can’t speak for the food because it never came - but can speak for service. Came here on a Saturday at 1 PM. The hostess asked if we wanted seats in the shade or out in the sun, we asked for shade seats. She proceeded...to bring us to a table directly in the sun and seat two other couples in the shaded seats after us. Our server was a young gentleman. The service was extremely slow, it took about 10 minutes to get a drink order, and another 10 minutes after that just to get our food in. After more than an hour waiting, we never received any food. We asked our waiter about it and he said it should be right up. We waited another 10 minutes and told him that we wanted to check and to leave as we saw multiple tables that sat down over an hour after us get there food and we had been at the restaurant for over 1.5 hours. Another ten minutes went by without the check. Then our server tried to bring us our food instead of the check. We refused the food and asked him simply for the check we asked for 10 minutes prior. We paid full price for four beers to wait for food for almost 2 hours that never came. There was no attempt at remedying the situation, no explanation. All the server could say was “I don’t know what happened”. Needless to say - I do not recommend coming here. At least the beer was cold?More

The outdoor seating is pleasant and there is very friendly and helpful service. Prices are reasonable. But the food is average at best -- the fish was over fried to dark brown and the chips were similarly overdone. The burgers were decent but similar to...what you'd get at a fast food restaurant.More

I was surprised by the large outside seating. Original small building. The hamburger was delicious. I enjoyed the white wine. My husband was not happy with his beer, but he doesn’t venture away from his basic beer. Enjoyed the River view

The service was great from start to finish. The pretzel with home made mustard was very good. The fish and chips were not good at all, the fish had no taste and they use a watery dill dressing instead of tarter sauce. The chicken wings...should be call chick wings, I have never seen smaller wings, and they were doused in a bland sauce. I would say this is a great place for beer and a pretzel, not supper.More

We started by ordering water, which was served at room temperature, not cold, no ice. I've only seen this in Europe, but never in the USA. My wife ordered a Reuben ($18) and fries were $2.50 more. So, a Reuben, customarily accompanied with fries for...$13 (look it up at your favorite restaurant) was $20.50. I ordered the fish and chips ($18), but substituted a side salad for the "chips". The fish was badly overcooked, dry, and if you look at how thin the pieces were, given that the fillets were breaded, there was very little fish there. It tasted as bad as it looked, like burned cardboard. When I got the bill, I saw that I had been charged 50¢ for the salad dressing. WHAT!? I've never been charged for salad dressing. They also charged me for the fish AND the chips AND the salad. The server corrected the error. The final insult, after the bill was straightened out, the payment machine "allowed me" a selection of tips ranging from 18% to 30%. Ridiculous! This dining disaster, with 8.5% tax and an 18% tip was $55.70. No charge for the warm water. I'd never go back there, nor recommend this place.More

Wonderful little place for a bite and a great beer. We sat at the bar to bypass the half hour wait (its that good) which puts you right in the middle of the action. Take your time and enjoy the hustle and bustle of the...crowds and make new friends.More

We ate on the back deck by the river, and it was very pleasant. They have a fan and a mister to keep things cool, plus dappled shade through the trees. We saw families with young kids eating, and they have a kids menu. Dogs...are not allowed so we left the pooches at home. The food and the beer were very good; I love how they put the ABV and IBU of the beer on the menu! The service was friendly and helpful.More

Great food. Busy. We visited on a Wednesday. To me if a place is busy it’s a good sign. Can sit outside or inside by the river. Also saw families. Relaxed environment. Inside a little loud and small quarters.

Great burgers with good beer. The stone mustard that came with the hot pretzel was by far my favorite thing. We sat outside, which was hot but sitting next to the river was worth it.

While staying at Winthrop, we visited Old Schoolhouse Brewery as on-line reviews for this restaurant was not bad. We ordered fish & chips to go. After about 40 minutes waiting, we finally got our food. When we were back to our lodging and opened the...box, we were shocked to find that all the fish was blackened. They were so overcooked that the fish meat tasted like rubber, and the french fry was also badly over-cooked, tasting as hard as match sticks. We love fish & chips and have had this in many parts of the world as we travel. But definitely, the fish & chips at this restaurant was the worst and most expensive, even much more expensive than in Europe where food is almost always more expensive than in the US in general. From this dish, I don't think that the other food at this restaurant could be much better. So sharing this bad experience to warn other travelers when they go to look for a restaurant in Winthrop, WAMore

Our hungry family of 5 came here after an afternoon on the river. We had to wait 40 minutes for a table, but it was worth it for the outdoor seating area, which was very pleasant. We walked across the nearby suspension bridge while waiting....They were very busy and the food took a while to come out -- fortunately the views helped with the wait. We all had veggie burgers, which were huge (we paid the extra $3 apiece for the Impossible burger). "Side" caesar salads were also huge. Beers were quite good. It was a pricey meal out, but since we don't get out much, we were willing to pay for good burgers, beer, and a nice patio.More

The house salad or Caesar salad with chicken breast are both good and satisfyingly large. The sandwiches, burgers and fries are also good. The beer is excellent. Overall value is excellent. We've eaten there many times and always enjoy ourselves and either eating near the...river or overlooking it.More
