Raleigh Hills Pub

Always good here and exactly what we expect in a local pub – solid service, great happy hour prices and choices, and that fresh squeezed grapefruit with vodka. Get that.
We like the funky, artistic atmosphere and the no rush feel to this mcmenamins. I understand the negative reviews for this chain, but I’ve never experienced anything here other than tasty salads, soups or burgers and friendly service – and that’s many visits over the last three years.

Took almost 45 min. To get food and then listened to the awkward argument happening in the kitchen as we sat in our booth. One server for the whole place with two cooks who brought out food and coughed all over it. «Get off the phone man!» is what we kept hearing from the kitchen. No wonder it’s not that busy here and yet it still takes almost an hour to our food. I just hope I don’t get sick tomorrow. And too bad our server was working her tail off while the kitchen was apparently all thumbs.

Sorry McMenamins… food arrived an hour later and lukewarm at best. So disappointed in our experience there tonight.

*update
I received a wonderful message from them apologizing for the incident and saying they talked with management about the issue. It is good to know that they do care.
Ps. Their tots are amazing.
PPs. Ask about their secret mixed beers. I love the Rubinator.

My coworkers and I come here often and normally have excellent service. Yesterday was not the case. The «manager» taking our phone order was very rude. When we get back to work with our food neither orders are right and our burgers were undercooked. I called to let him know and he could have cared less. It was very disappointing. We will not be getting food from there anytime soon.

This is the perfect place to come anytime of day. The service might be a little slow at times but it really is a community mcmenamins. They are always friendly, open to conversation and will work with you.
Food is always spot on, except the hot dogs are hit or miss. I love the turkey sandwich and pear brandy, as well as of course a Ruby beer and gyro. I really can’t complain about this spot!

This is a nice roomy McMenamin’s location. Not like a Kennedy School or Edgefield, obviously, but among the top of the list of the smaller ‘subsidiary’ versions. Service was attentive right when we walked through the door. Our server was on top of his game. He took care of us with no nonsense.
They actually have the current seasonal cider here (black cherry, at the moment) unlike some other locations. I opted for the Backyard Bird chicken sandwich with grilled onions, bacon and cheddar cheese. It was awesome! Bun tasted fresh baked, bbq sauce was good and smoky. Everything was on point. The clam chowder here is fresh, thick and creamy with plenty of clams. Excellent! My better half had the King Bee sandwich that was a tasty treat of breaded chicken with honey mustard sauce. We love the freshness of McMenamin’s side salads and really enjoy those pink pickled onions they put on top but they were missing this time. That was the only bummer in this experience. I definitely would return to this location.

We were here for lunch, Ruby’s and stamps for the passport. We loved the atmosphere, very casual and fun!
We had great customer service and the food was great! Loved the homemade chips and cheese dip!

Like all Mcmenamins… the food was great! The turkey sandwich and the soup of the day (curry lentil soup) was amazing. Waitress Cheryl was great, very attentive and nice. Enjoy!

I am a big fan of Mcmenamins, this location delights as much as the other pubs. Their seasonal hard cider is delicious, and I am always satisfied with my meal. The service can be on the slow side, even when they aren’t very busy. All in all I will continue to visit.

It’s a McMenamins, so you know what you’re getting yourself into. You can always count on this place for consistent food, good service and the beer and wine choices remain the same.
For us locals, McMenamins is a good standby when going out to dinner. It’s casual, low-​key and you can have a pretty nice time.
I grew up going to the Raleigh Hills Pub and now as an adult live just up the hill, so it’s the perfect go-​to place!

Good Service. Nice Atmosphere. It’s bright while still having a rustic feel to it. Great location.

Portland institution w/​decent beer and ok food — yeah, don’t think so. the beer is ok but you can find better these days. The food, well, I will leave it at that.

Solid service and food. We love McMenamins and we go to a location at least once a week!
Today we got a Let’s Be Frank hot dog (always super delicious and juicy) and the Monster Grilled Cheese (it was cheesy deliciousness for a rainy afternoon like today)
For brews, I got a half-​pint of Black Widow and my husband went for his usual Rubinator. Beers are always excellent.
We’ve been in this location several times and we have never had bad service or bad food.

Oh man the service here is terrible! We had forgotten just how bad the service is here. Went here last night with my husband and daughter, I arrived first, took 10 minutes to even be greeted, ordered a beer and tots, took a long time to get the beer and after waiting 30 minutes for the tots they were given to another couple who had just sat down! It took another 20 minutes or so to get them, took 45 minutes to get our dinner order, had to ask if we were ever going to see my husbands beer after waiting 15 minutes for that. Food was OK, but if you want better service and pub food go down the road to the Raccoon Lodge and save yourself from the terrible service here.

Went with some of my band buddys and was surprised that I didn’t know of it. Great little place with a cool manager who was patient with our LOUD laughs. We ALWAYS end up getting loud. Sorry! Good food. Nice tap selection.

Went to lunch here today with my wife. We were promptly greeted, and after we picked our seat, the waitress was quickly out to help us. Our drinks were brought to us right away, and she took our food order. Our food was brought out in less than 10 minutes, and the waitress checked back with us frequently to make sure we were taken care of. She was also very helpful with our passports, getting us our gift cards for completing four of the experience items.
The food we had was good. I had a bowl of the beef barley soup, and my wife had some clam chowder and a hot dog.
Based on this experience, I’d recommend this McMenamins to anyone.

This place is cozy. I enjoy coming to this neighborhood McMenamins. I always receive great service. It’s a nice place to hang out during happy hour and the menu is pretty inexpensive. Overall, good place for a burger and a beer.

Oh, McMenamins. The service is legendary (but not usually in a good way) but I can’t quit you. You and those tots! Cajunized of course. I could eat a side of tots with a whole entrée of them.
Plus, I’ve yet to be here and be irritated by the service. I was greeted within minutes of sitting down and got my beverage in a timely manner. The server was clearly very slammed with tables but did a good job trying to serve everyone as quickly as possible.
The menu is your typical fair & I still like their burgers. And did I say tots? TOTS. Plus I love Ruby, I like to try out the Rubinator every so often and…
TOTS.
There’s some McMenamins that deserve their low ratings but so far, this one isn’t in that group.

The Raleigh Hills Pub is a fairly standard McMenamins. Average food, average beer and service that can be timed with a sun dial.
I don’t mean to be harsh, but why do just about every McMenamins establishments require the investment of hours to eat there?
The food is OK, with the burgers and «Canjunized» tater tots being the best of the options (but not more than just good). The beer, brewed by McMenamins, is average and not up to Portland beer standards. The service is plodding and it is unlikely you will have your drink refreshed before you get through the food. That’s bad for a bar… in the case of Raleigh Hills, the place was nearly empty and they couldn’t keep my drinks from reaching empty.
Go here if you want average pub food — or if you love tots — and you have time to spare.
