Trillium Café - Cafe in Hood River - 207 Oak St, USA

The facilities have a somewhat run down look although this seems to be the vibe they are going for. Kind of that hole in the wall with great food feel. Everything was clean and kept up though. The food, appropriately enough, was quite good. My burger (their Trillium burger), cooked just right (medium) as requested was excellent. Juicy patty, soft bun, crisp bacon, and fresh fixings. Tater tots were crispy and well seasoned. They were somewhat busy for a late Sunday morning but service was still prompt and friendly. I intend on coming back when a craving for a good burger strikes.

Seems like a great place to drink, loved the 90's grunge music and our waiter was good but the food was lacking. The chicken parm coating was kind of soggy and the little sauce on there had no flavor. The meatloaf was pretty bland even for meatloaf. The Cajun tots were pretty good. Think they need to rethink the menu, bring some spice and pop to their offerings. I think my dad (classic boomer) would love the food here. If you order tots, ask for extra crispy.

When you go wine tasting in the Gorge, a must stop is the Trillium Cafe'. Best 1/2 burger for the price in Oregon. Add the cajun tots and curry soup and your taste buds will thank you all the way home.

Great food in a hole in the wall bar. The server was too pre occupied talking with co -worker so was not that attentive. Loved the Wild Things mural on the wall.

Great burgers with gluten free buns. Fun pub atmosphere.

We stopped just for a snack, but it turned into us having lunch. It’s been fun letting bartenders make our drinks based on what we like when we know there is a full bar. The Mac and Cheese was listed as a Specialty on the menu, so I was ready to be impressed. Let me tell you. OMG. This was freaking amazing. It wasn’t full of extras, just the best ingredients. As much as I wanted to just sit and shovel it in my mouth, I made myself eat it very slow so I could enjoy and remember it forever. My lunch companion’s meals were described as good and tasty. The fresh cut fries were really, really good. Establishment was clean, the service was friendly and prompt.

As middle eastern doesn't matter much i guess as a traveler, but i do hunt for rare and special/hidden gems around here. The trillium Cafe is one of them!! They have thunder island pale ale as local beer if I'm not mistaken its greaaattt!!!. Nice staff/ owner chelsa is awesome bartender and a great host !! Aaannnd Great food, sliders burger works well as a munchie! Must pass by place.

Friend in town from LA wanted to see Hood River. In party mode, Justin the bartender was great. Made the perfect white Russian. I was curious about the fried green beans.... better than zuke fries! Definitely try them.
