My husband and I had our first date here, and some of the staff still remember us after 3 years. That said, we don't make it out too often, because we live across town, but this is by far my favorite Timbers. The bartenders know how to have fun, the crowd is always local, drinks are free if you're playing machines at the bar, they have lots of TV's and big wing back chairs, and the menu is good.
If you dig fish-n-chips, these guys have pretty much nailed it. They've finally jumped on the sweet potato fries bandwagon, and you can sub them for regular fries if you feel the need. You can get breakfast 24 hours a day, which is a huge plus, and the grilled cheese here is EPIC. They call it (something like) the Ultimate Grilled Cheese, although I'm not completely sure - my neurons only fire for the taste of the thing. If I recall, they don't always have it on the menu, but maybe that will change. They put a couple different cheeses inside the most delicious bread, add bacon (mmmmmmmm...... bacon.....) and big slices of tomato, which stay cold in spite of the piping hot sandwich. Then they smash the whole thing into the skillet with loads of butter and shredded Parmesan cheese, which makes a droolworthy crust.
All food aside, you will leave this place smelling of smoke, especially if you go during peak hours. Is it worth it? Oh, yeah!
