Two Barrels Taps + Grill

While traveling south through in Oregon at lunch time on a Sunday, I googled "dining near me," and Two barrels Tap and Grill caught my attention because it offered dining with views of the Columbia River. My wife and I found the restaurant was tucked inside River Lodge and Cabins in Boardman. We chose a table near the window and was treated to great views of the Columbia River as advertised. Service was prompt, the beer choices were awesome,and the food, especially the elk burger and the steak salad hit the right notes with bold flavors. Two Barrels Taps and Grill is a no nonsense pub that delivers exceptional service, food, and drink at reasonable prices. The views out the window made it all the more special dining experience.

Great restaurant with good food and drink. Friendly staff and service. Good portions. Great view of the Columbia River 👌

The food is really good, but the service from the staff is bad. They give you weird looks and don’t serve you with enthusiasm — you don’t feel welcome. It could be my favorite place, but the customer service is terrible.

We were there on a quiet Wednesday in November. Walked right in and had a window seat with lovely view of the river. Cavernous place, but quiet enough when we were there. Patty melt was good, although it seemed to be a burger between two pieces of bread, not a fresh made patty. But the Shaver prime rib sandwich was a disaster with one thin, dried piece of fatty beef curling up around the edges. It supposedly had horse radish sauce, but it was just a schmeer. Hard to mess up tater tots, and they were good. Server asked about our meal and discounted the $19 sandwich, so that was appreciated. There were some dirty tables when we came in and a fly kept us company. To survive, this place needs to up their game, get a better cook, and provide better value.

We love eating lunch here! It’s such a nice spot, right on the water with a beautiful view. The service is excellent—thank you, Tonya, you’re amazing! The food is always delicious. We try something new every time we visit, and so far, we haven’t found a single thing we didn’t enjoy. Highly recommend!
