Parkstone Wood Kitchen + Taps

The menu is basic but good. A couple steaks, some burger options, chicken and fish. We ordered the sandwich and fried chicken. When the sandwich arrive the server said here is your sandwich with out cheese.... we asked if the sandwich was supposed to have cheese they said no, we asked why they said no cheese, the server just turned around and walked away. The fried chicken dish was good.

It is with mixed feelings that I write this review. I stumbled upon this place hoping to find a good beer before leaving Oregon, and found it here. Plus quite decent seafood and very able help in selecting a couple of good Oregon beers. I enjoyed the "Market Fish" which was steelhead, plus the fantastic mashed potatoes and not so fantastic (almost raw) veggies. My favorite (Mirror Pond) was not available, so after a Boneyard RPM - I wandered through the Fort George fresh hops offering (too weak) and the Nikasi Tricerahops (way too strong) I was advised wisely to try the available Deschutes Fresh Squeezed. Fun to try but at $9 per glass you really have to not be on a budget to justify the outing. The recommended cornbread was good but $5 for a small piece. Hmm next time (if there is one) it will not be a choice.

Very delicious fish and chips (fries). Large portions of fish fried crispy and perfectly seasoned. The jalapeño tartar sauce added a nice kick and the peanut Thai coleslaw added just a bit of nice acidity to the meal. The fries were tasty but could have used salt. The house ketchup was a nice complement to fries however.

A couple of chains we tried to get a table at had a 30 minute wait. I'm glad they did because we found this place. I had the blackened fish sandwich with jalapeno tarter sauce. It was excellent. Companion had a bacon burger to die for. Another had tri tip steak. Very good. And one had a "basic" cheeseburger that was better than any deluxe anywhere. Service was fast and wait staff congenial.

I eat away from home over 300 days per year. This place is the best one I've been to so far in 2023. The food was great. steak was cooked to proper temperature the chicken was very flavorful and the wedge salad 🥗 was perfect. The cocktails were balanced and well presented. The bartender Jose was kind and professional. I highly recommend if you are near PDX eat here.
