McMenamins Ironwork Grill - Restaurant in Forest Grove - Ironwork Grill, 3505 Pacific Ave, USA

The food was okay even though they didn't get our order right. The server decided to go on break and never come back. She sat down at a table with friends and seemed okay with knowing we were no longer getting service. We never got our order corrected, nor the chance to order more drinks. We finally got someone flagged down to pay the check. He seemed very upset with how we were treated and comped our entire meal. This saved this review from being 1 star. It's hard to find great service these days.

I was early to see Les Claypool and the Fearless Flying Frog Brigade. I chose to have the steak sandwich and fries with the aioli garlic dipping sauce and a Hammerhead IPA. The food was delicious and well portioned, but I wished I had a steak knife, which I never asked for, but made due with a butter knife. The service was excellent and professional. The cleanliness was spot on, and the atmosphere was inviting. I would definitely suggest eating here with a group, but single diners are welcome as well.

No two McMenamin’s is alike. This one is pretty damn good. The kitchen is really well run and consistently puts out great food. When it’s in season the elk burger is great. The bar is spot on. Never a poorly made drink. The service though is erratic. You can get a good server there but consider yourself lucky. They’re more concerned while talking or playing with their phones or acting surprised when you have to ask for utensils while your food gets cold or, well you get the idea. If this place could get a strong front manager they’d be excellent but I haven’t been there in a month so perhaps they have. Anyway, try it regardless. The food, drinks and atmosphere are worth it.

My wife called in to get a couple orders of Cajun tots to complement our dinner. We appreciate the fact that they were open during the snowstorm. Friendly staff!

I loved the atmosphere. I'm from a Masonic family, so the whole experience of dining in a old Lodge was cool. I ordered the Hoke Poke Nachos and my chips were stale so they didn't charge me for them, even though I did eat the tuna, which was nice. The staff was very attentive and took care of us. I'd definitely go back again.

Ordered "Ferryman's Braised Short Ribs" for $38.50. This was executed very poorly; food tasted good, but received only a single 4oz piece of meat and a large bone on a bed of mashed potatoes. Came with two small carrots that were indiscernible from the gravy. When I brought it to the attention of the server, he assured me there was no mistake in the dish and offered to charge me for additional meat. They agreed to knock off the cost of the appetizer- which was appreciated- but doesn't change my opinion. The server did a great job, but managers choice and kitchen need to be looked at.

McMenamins! Always a sure bet on everything from atmosphere to food! Service always exceeds the expectations. As an out-of-towner, the Grand Lodge has always been a mainstay, as does their "Ironwork Grill". Even just for drinks at the bar, the peculiar and bizarre setting adds to the adventure and mystique! If you haven't been, try it! If you have, well... you know! Salud! Thanks guys, we'll be back!

Excellent place for a dinner in a themed location, a lot of masonic icons, history and importance... Food is good, beverages are also good and other activities.
