Muu Effing Muu

by tworedbows

My psychotic date paid the tab before left me there after a verbal lashing, he left a bad tip. Baffled, I was texting my little brother to come get me, the waitress comes up and tells me about said tip.

I apologized and agreed with her that he was clearly a d bag, I offered her any cash that I had and she refused, as i'm leaving she yells "why don't you just leave!"....which was what I was already doing....

So i'm outside on the phone with my brother and she comes out to continue her rant. I again apologize but I reminded her that I was outside, leaving her the alone, and that it wasn't my tab to pay or leave a tip. She comes back outside with a camera and gets up in my face with it saying i'm 86'ed. I'm even more confused at this point.

Dear awful waitress at Muu Muu's:

Maybe he gave you an awful tip because you're an awful waitress with an attitude and face to match.

• Pros: Nothing
• Cons: Everything

Great food all hours

by webdani7

Where else can you get fantastic food at 12 am or 12 pm. I heart the brunch, no lines cozy booths and eggs benedict! Great place for sandwich and fries at lunch. The quality of the ingredients is surprising for a bar, and the prices are really resonable for NW.

• Pros: easy going atmosphere, attractive clientele
• Cons: busy on fri-sat

Very consistent bad service.

by whisky6174

I've been three times, the first time was the only time my existence was actually acknowledged. My girlfriend and I have swung by Muu-Muu's three times, the first time we went in, sat down and waited for service for about 20 minutes without any contact from a single employee. So we went hunting around for a menu and tried to talk someone into bringing us some drink. After being there for almost 30 minutes we were finally able to engage a waitress who was more interested in chatting with co-workers than serving customers. After a 45 minute wait we finally had drinks and food in front of us. The next two times we went were worse. We sat in our booth for over 20 minutes making eye contact multiple times and eventually waving our arms and asking for menus from our booth. We gave up completely on this place. Maybe there is an unspoken set of rules we don't understand? Some sort of Muu-Muu's etiquette perhaps? Either way, save your time and enjoy one of the other thousand spots in Portland, this place isn't worth the wait or "snubbing" as another reviewer put it.

• Pros: It's warmer inside than it is outside during the winter.
• Cons: you'll have more fun in church.

Do you appreciate a good snubbing? Be snubbed at Muu Muus!

by muumuuh8r

The first time we went in there, we were treated very politely, served excellent food and drinks, and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.

The subsequent visit, however, was a stark departure from the the first. We approached a busy evening at just before one in the morning on a Thursday. We were disgusted by the uncouth and cavalier attitude of the barkeep, whom I may mention, was brutish and unstable in his philosophical discourse as to why closing hours of the establishment differed from what was in fact published on the very door he thus slammed in our faces. As soon as we walked away, the same infidel bartender allowed entry to two other potential patrons not three feet behind us! I shall never return to this crass dive bar.

• Pros: The snubbing
• Cons: Being Snubbed

Phenominal Food & Great Prices

by msaportland

The service is excellent. The wait staff are nice and conversational. The food is outstanding and the prices are even better. My friends and I had a great time! Not much else to say except that I know I will be back and I will tell other friends about my experience. Great job Muu Muu's, keep it up!

Best sandwiches/great service

by kwilli2

I have read several of the reviews complaining about bad service. I have never had bad service here. In fact, it's always been really good service. My friend and I were there last year and our server ended up giving us free concert tickets to Rod Stewart that she had received as a tip because she couldn't go. We were there two months later and she totally remembered us and asked us how it was.

They also have THE BEST sandwiches. My favorite is the brutus smash, a variation (and much better version) of a caesar salad stuffed into a sandwich with french fries. Heaven on a plate. All of the food is great and creative.

I see all these complaints about it being non-smoking before 9:00 p.m. Grow up -- this isn't what you should base a good hang out on. I too am a smoker and actually look forward to the indoor ban coming next year. We don't need to infringe on the non-smokers of the world. Let them enjoy their food without smelling the smoke in the air.

• Pros: Great value, good customer service, excellent food
• Cons: Parking, but hey, it's northwest

Fun!

by hellopdx

What a great place to drink, eat and just socialize! Muu Muus offers American Asian Fusion. There is something for everyone on the menu! The atmosphere is fun and social without being over crowded. I think I will go here more often!

• Pros: Food! Atmosphere!

Great on Sunday night, good music, good vibes.

by blondQT247

Just moved into the NW neighborhood and been trying all the local spots. The special dish was good and moderately priced plus my vegetarian date could find more than a salad on the menu. Quik bartender, nice micro selection, but I stayed for the music. Maybe had one to many but all in all a great night in a really comfortable booth. Smoking after 9 but I really couldn't tell. I'll be back on the regular.
