Stickmen Brewing Company - Lake Oswego

I'm always hopeful and tend to overlook things. Let's be honest, the key is location, location! At least when I'm trying to impress friends with the view of the lake, there's that silver lining...

The outdoor patio offers a lovely setting right by the waterfront. Unfortunately, the food is just average at best—lacking seasoning, often undercooked, and overly greasy. On a brighter note, the beer selection is quite extensive, and the cider options are...

The drinks were decent, but the service left much to be desired. Being the only restaurant by the lake in Lake Oswego seems to give them a sense of complacency, as they don't feel the need to improve their service due to their prime location.

We had family visiting Oregon for the first time and thought it would be lovely to have dinner by the lake. Unfortunately, that was a mistake. We anticipated slow service, as we’ve experienced that before, so we ordered our meals along with our drinks. However, our order was never submitted, and after an hour and 25 minutes, we still hadn't received any food. If you're looking to have a quick meal within 2 to 2.5 hours, I recommend choosing a different place. I'm not usually one to complain, but this experience definitely warrants a review. We won’t be returning.

The highlight of our visit was our server, Alissa. I noticed a couple at a nearby table who had been waiting over an hour for their meals. I overheard that during the staff transition from lunch to the afternoon shift, the previous server forgot to place their food order before clocking out. Meanwhile, other customers who arrived after us had already enjoyed drinks and left, yet that couple still hadn't received their order. They were understandably unhappy, but they remained composed. Alissa approached them, reassured them that their food was being prepared right away, and even offered it on the house. Because of her exceptional service, I’m giving Stickmen a 4 out of 5 instead of a 3.
