They have good food, good service and good beer. Those are the simple ingredients that a lot of places I have been to seem to miss out on. I like the touches too, such as an affordable pool table and wood burner in the middle of the pub - great in winter.

Pros: Very nice, with good quality

Cons: Can get noisy

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Okay, you get LOTS of fries for an extra buck, but they are so greasy it is a shame. Change the oil in the fry bin or turn up the heat. If these things were fully cooked and crisp, they'd be a delight. As it is, they are just a mass of overly greasy fries. Love the beer. The food has never been their focus, but it ain't bad.

Pros: Great beer, Hippie funk, Pure Portland

Cons: Greasy fries

Make Mcmenamin's wake up. How can these "pubs and breweries" be number one? The food is horrible, ordering a beer is like asking a favor of the bar tender, and the beer... well, I won't go there. To make matters worse, they have no respect for the customers. The Crystal Ballroom has kept mothers and 8 year old kids outside in the cold for over 2 hours when they failed to open the doors to the Ben Folds Live concert. (resulting in an angry mob of soccor moms) After that fateful night, I swore, that I would never enter another Mcmenamin's again. I have also spread the word. Portland! Do not settle for something because it's familiar! Just because you know that they will have "hummus" doesn't make it good! Just because they renovate an old building does not make them good neighbors! BOYCOTT!

Their fries are really overcooked and dry. I have to put a lot of ketsup on the fries to make them taste good. They have improved over the years though, so maybe they will get better. I guess if you drink a lot of beer at Mcmenamins the dry fries may compliment the beer

They used to be very good.....now very poor. Last four times I've eaten there......fries cold, almost rubbery.

OK so their fries are a little greasy...That doesnt mean they are bad. It just makes them better! They are some of the best fries I've ever gotten.

McMenamins has many place that you can visit, each with their own special food items and some with special entertainment attractions, such as a movie theater with couches. The food is excellent, the servers are friendly, I would defintely reccomend McMenamins to anyone and everybody.

Pros: Decorations

Cons: Service

The atmosphere is great at all the restaurants I have been to but the food is lacking. For beer it is great but after that move on. You can find better food for the money.

Pros: good brews, good atmosphere, music

Cons: over priced, not a good menu

McMeanmis has the WORST fries -- they are dripping in grease/oil, no crunch, are soggy, and absolutely no taste to them. But then I am not a beer drinker so that must make a difference.

Pros: good parking, nice view in Vancouve, sit and talk

Cons: food selection poor, booths need cleaning, no free tea refills
