Mesquitery Restaurant & Bar

Had a wonderful meal. Porterhouse steak was wonderful. The Swedish cream for dessert was delightful. Great service and fun to watch the cooks make the meal ! Service was spot on! If you’re in Hood River map it and try it out !

If you don’t stop to eat here: it’s your own. DANG. Fault! This place is quite the find. I had a porterhouse cooked to perfection, and a Swedish cream for dessert. My buddy had the porterhouse as well (we actually split one because it’s a huge 20oz) and had the lemon drop cheesecake. Nothing was disappointing! Don’t pass through town without giving it a try.

This place is HANDS DOWN mine and my boyfriends FAVORITE spot to eat in town. We are «restaurant hoppers» and have eaten in almost every restaurant in town. (We decided to do this when we started dating over a year ago to try new things) and we keep coming back to the mesquitery! To start, when u walk into the restaurant tge bbq grill is right in front of you (behind a glass case, think SeaWorld fishtail style) so you can watch as he prepares your food. The staff is always so friendly and prompt. (My water glass is never less than half empty) and the portions are great! As for the food, four words TRY THE CLAM CHOWDER. It is the best thing you will ever eat!!! Plus their garlic bread is tge bomb, steaks are always cooked perfectly ND their fettuccine Alfredo is always on point! If your in hood river you have to go here!!!

Very overpriced for quality of food and service. It’s basic food for a high price nothing special at all. The place has a pretty décor and you can see into the kitchen which is cool but you can do better for your money.

Wonderful! I had the fish (snapper) taco and it was delicious. My husband enjoyed his snapper sandwich. A great find!

A great local place for great steaks and seafood! Do not miss out on the Swedish Cream for dessert! We live right around the corner and it is a weekly stop for us.

Best meal we’ve had the entire week we’ve been in The Gorge! We both had the Steak and Shrimp. Both were beyond excellent! The shrimp was wonderful and succulent. The steak was so thick and grilled to perfection. I don’t know what kind of magic seasoning they use but it is unmatched for flavor. The service was super fast and very entertaining. I’m salivating now just writing about it!!! Go here NOW!!!

The best steak I’ve ever had in my life and the mashed potatoes were heavenly. The service was great. I loved everything about Mesquitery.
I definitely recommend this place to everyone to try AT LEAST once.

I have to give this 5 Stars as it was amazing. We ate here on 7÷24÷15 for dinner. I had the Filet Mignon 10 oz with Mash Potatoes and Claim Chowder. My wife had the Rib Eye Steak 14 oz with a Fresh Garden Salad and Garlic Bread.
I’ve uploaded pictures.
I almost ate the entire Claim Chowder before I remembered to take a picture. Very good flavor and huge pieces of claim. The Filet Mignon was an odd shape but it was the best steak I have ever eaten. I had it cooked Medium. I was cutting into it and it fell apart on my fork. The Mesquite taste and grill marks really make this one amazing piece of meat. The Mash Potatoes were really good as well. No potato chunks. Really mashed up well with a mushroom gravy.
My wife’s Rib Eye was medium and was just perfect for her. Just enough pink in the center like medium should be. The garden salad was really fresh and her garlic bread with cheese was almost not eaten by her. I tasted it and almost took it off her plate. Very delicious.
The price is high, but well worth it.
The only con to this was the smell of whatever they clean the tables with. It takes a bit to air out. The food more than made up for that small inconvenience.

Yum! Salmon with ginger soy glaze CLAM CHOWDER THE BEST going back dark Polish beer a treat.

The only positive thing I can honestly say is the staff is friendly. We spent 80.00 and the food was less then satisfactory. I had prime rib and it was way overcooked and lacked flavor and wasn’t prime rib more cut like a ribeye. My husband had the ribeye and that as well lacked flavor with poor grade beef. My fresh cut vegetables were not cooked and came out cold. The Alfredo pasta, recommended by the waitress, was too garlicky and pasta over cooked. The mash potatoes were mush. Disappointed in our choice for dinner!

Great food! Beers were a little warm and service was ok, overall good place to eat. The steak was a little under cooked but delicious!

Great staff, steaks were good, nice selection on the menu, a little lacking in flavor but good.

Interesting beer selection, which was a nice intro. Nachos weren’t bad for the appetizer either. Problem was the entrees were fairly average. 4 to our party and two of us had the French dip, which came recommended, but failed to impress. Ciabatta chicken was the third entrée and was rated better then the French dips.
Service was above average so we may give it one more try, but for now I give a comfortable 3 stars overall.

We had a baked potato which was great. We also had the nachos terrible I am sure they had been sitting for a while cold cheese melted on bottom of plate a mound of ice cold beans. We asked the waitress for salsa which was good but we just dipped our chips like at a Mexican rest. Left most of it. The waitress was very good but not much she could do. My suggestion take nachos off the menu. thank you

This place is like going into a time warp with the décor on the inside. Its a definite joint. The menu has great options from steak to seafood to pasta and a polish beer menu above all. Its not a steak house but the steaks are delicious. Wife had some seafood it was well seasoned and fresh. The soups were home made totally enjoyable. Dont really know where the other reviews have eaten but this place is off the beaten path in the regular part of town not the tourist part. Having eaten in all the other over priced tourist spots in town with small portions and high prices this place blows them away. I dont give five stars do the simple reason my meal had a jalapeño hidden in the middle of it. It was a couple minutes to recover. Over all the recipes are influenced by the Spanish cooks. There is a little heat in everything.

Superb! The waitress recommended a great Russian beer, then we had the salmon and a hamburger. Both were perfectly cooked. The salad was fresh and the rice pilaf was the best I’ve ever had in a restaurant. Service was impeccable.

I just moved to Hood River, so I’m going to check out every restaurant in town, starting with a big post-​moving steak. The Mesquitery looks nice on the outside. It looks like one of those old steak houses that may hide a really good menu and great prices. Not so much, unfortunately. All you have to do is walk in the front door and you’ll see what I mean. The place is pretty run down and connected to the bar next door (you can hear the people at the bar from the restaurant where there is an open connecting the two places.) It’s a good meal– for a small town. The prices are big city, though. The overall meal (filet mignon, salad, potato) was «meh.» It was OK, but for the price, too high to go back again. So, I’ve checked this place off the list. It’s a one-​timer. Now I need to find a place in town that has a really good steak… the search is on!

Try the Swiss cream dessert it is to die for! The pirogue they are great with the bacon topper
The steaks are good and juicy and cooked in the window!

Excellent food and excellent service– the meat was cooked perfectly and desert was delicious !!! Just perfect food !!
The price is right for the quality o food.
