Breakside Brewery - NW Slabtown

"Visited in Aug 2023 Really nice place to hang out and have some good beers. Would recommend folks to go with the sampler tasting tray where you can try 6 beers in each order. We ended up trying almost every beer on the menu by doing so. Fast & efficient service. Would definitely recommend visiting this place if you’re in Portland."

"Had a great time. I split El Jefe and the blackened chicken sandwich with my dad, and el jefe was nothing special, but the blacken chicken sandwich was scrumptious, the flavor of the chicken perfectly compliments the guacamole leaving your taste buds wanting more. Though, my brother ordered the wings and they messed up his order, however the waiter apologized and said he would get a new one for us and we could have the one he brought but we ended up waiting 20 extra minutes without food because they forgot about the replacement. But it indeed out fine in the end because they made it right by taking off the chicken from our bill and giving us some free drink refills. If your in the area it’s a nice place for beer and pretty good food. (Of course parking is a nightmare but your in downtown Portland so what do you expect)"

"The place was packed but I really enjoyed my experience here. They just rolled out a new menu, but everything we tried was delicious. The fried chicken sandwich reminded me of a super upscale version of a McChicken(in the best possible way haha). The beer was well crafted and tasty. Loved the variety. Staff were swamped but absolutely lovely people and did gave great service despite being slammed while we were there. Great spot to check out."

"On a sunny Sunday afternoon, this is a super popular place so expect a wait. For interior seating, the wait was considerably less than the wait for patio seating. But when you’ve got your pup with you, you wait 30 minutes for the dog friendly seating. Well socialized dogs will do best as there was a dog under almost every one of the tables. Once seated, it was disappointing to have waited so long for a sticky outdoor table that I had to bus myself. Water and food orders are self-service. Orders can be placed using a QR code on the table or by walking inside to the bar. The bar was hopping so it was most expedient to use the QR code. Food was underwhelming. My experience was inconsistent with the many 5-star ratings this restaurant receives. Perhaps it’s a better spot to enjoy a flight of beers with friends. I’ll pass next time."

"Cool brewery and good beer! Of course we did a flight and enjoyed all the beers we tried here. It was a cool hip place to hangout and enjoy a good couple of beers with family & friends. It is kid friendly as well so you can bring your little ones. For food we tried the drumsticks with their IPA Buffalo sauce which was really good. Also the Nachos come in a big portion size which is sharable. They also have a good kids menu and we ordered the Mac & cheese. Overall great experience and even bought some of their beer to go."
