Trillium Cafe in Hood River

We were just driving through Hood River during a long drive home and felt a little peckish... So we said "Hey Google, we're hungry find us somewhere to eat!" Google said "Ok, here's a few places." The Trillium Cafe was on the list and sounded delish. And BAM! History was made! (Ok maybe a tiny bit of history, but important to you if you're reading this right now, eh? 😉) the Trillium Cafe was amazingly delicious, the food was seasoned just right and cooked to perfection. Generous portions and friendly fun service! You won't go wrong stopping here for your next meal, and the next... And possibly even the one after that! Now all we need is a way to teleport the 850 miles from home to the Trillium Cafe as often as we will crave this place, henceforth!

Food was good. The fries were way too salty to eat, but they fixed this really fast with no problems. Liked it and would definitely go back.

Very good food, pleasantly surprised by everything. Great French Dip, wonderful meatloaf sandwich and some legit mac n cheese from scratch. Even the clam chowder was delicious. Can't fault any of the dishes we had and the atmosphere is casual and laid back. We'll definitely be back.

The burgers are amazing. Just really good beef cooked just right. The tator tots are also very good. Most tator tots are good but these were above average. The fries were good but I'd pick the tots over them. Ranch dressing was good but the balsamic vinaigrette was very good. Hamburger buns were just ok so you might want to substitute for the ciabatta roll.

Great bar food, a wonderful atmosphere, and good live music.

Good food, board games to play while you wait, but service was pretty slow.

Excellent service. Clam chowder was very good. I ordered the meatloaf which was almost as good as mom's. My only recommendation is to replace the tater tots with mash potatoes. Maybe keep the tots as a children's option. Will definitely return.

Loved the chicken charlie. Small local beer selection. Nice place for local color.

Best burger I've had in my life

Always a great place to catch a great burger or an awesome sandwich. Our go to place when traveling down through the gorge.

The food was amazing and service is great!! We tried the fried green beans and they were super tasty!! Crispy and flavorful!!! We will be back for sure!!

Adorable, whimsical environment! Friendly staff.But most importantly the food was incredible!! I highly recommend the fries green beans and hand cut French fries!! Will come back for sure! Great stop along the Columbia !

Awesome place!The friend green beans were delicious! We split the fish and chips, a salad, and beer.Great staff, too.

Fun funky place. Casual with board games available. Had the mushroom barley soup. Thick, delicious, hearty, and visually appealing. You can't say that about most soups!

Best hamburger I've had in a long time .

One of the best cheeseburgers I’ve EVER had! Good beer selection and the staff was friendly. The live music was nice to listen as well. Would definitely come back again.

Food was very good and reasonable. Great service.

Great food, great atmosphere! If you are passing through be sure to stop in! Board games to play with little ones while you wait!

Nice place, decent food and tons of board games to pass the time.

Cool little spot. The food is great and I love the atmosphere here.

Very, very tasty food (I had a delicious burger, and the other offerings look good too), as well as friendly service. We actually came back again later on in the evening for drinks and partying. Very nice for that too. Had Old Fashioneds myself, tasty and strong as they should be. My relatives that deal better with carbonation than I do partook of pretty nice selection of beers and enjoyed them quite a bit. I would definitely return.

Fun atmosphere, tasty food, great service!

Comfy atmosphere and great service with good diner food and a bar that doesn't feel too barry. Prices are good/average.

Few taps but always a rotating selection. There's just something about this dimly lit pub. Between the staff and the atmosphere I'm not sure but its great.

The meat loaf sandwich is one of my all-time favorites. Huge with roasted red pepper, carmelized onions and cheese. Perfect with fries and cold beer. Very attentive and friendly service.

Best service I've had in a long time! Great food at good prices! (And good portions too!)

Best Damn burger, chicken wings, and salty dog! The server was amazing and gave his honest opinion on recommendations and I'm so glad I ask because it was soooooo good! Get the wings dry and sauce on the side ;) We went with friends, everyone got something different and we all tried each others and loved it all!!! Absolutely will be back!!

Love the meatloaf and chicken parmesan sandwiches. Wedge salad is an excellent lighter side. Always great service.

Great food in a family-friendly, casual spot.

Fun place! Great service and delicious meatloaf! Plus, beer!

Damn! Thats a great burger! Had the wrangler with tots, very good. Friendly and quick service too.

Drinks were great. Outside seating was really nice and the bartender was fun and helpful.

Trillium has a very casual and comfortable bar restaurant vibe. Staff was super helpful and responsive, food was good, and music was enjoyable if you like classic rock

A resounding meh from the group, but I wouldn't decline if someone invited me back. Service was.. serviceable? But a couple tables got their food before us even though we'd ordered well before them. Still, the gal was friendly and everything arrived as we ordered it, and the food was well seasoned. I'm sure it's better for the locals who can enjoy the events and game nights.

Excellent mac and cheese. The char burger is very good as well! Server was nice and the place had a nice small town feel.

Great food and awesome people downtown Hood River.

The perfect low key place for lunch in Hood River.

Awesome food and awesome service.

Great little hippy Tavern, good food great service

Love the Trillium Cafe. Everytime were in Hood River we make a point to procure vittles here. Good food and good vibes, what more do you need?

The peanut butter porter was different and tasty, like dessert in a glass! Some cool paintings around too. You may have to almost go tap your bartender on the shoulder or flag them down like on an air strip runway tho. ;)

Great place for a bite to eat, Made an impromptu stop with the family and we were hungry. Couldn't go wrong in here!

Waiter didn't come over for 5 minutes. We saw the menus and grabbed some. He noticed and despite being the only server, decided we were taken care of because we already had menus. Tried to get his attention, but he seemed to purposely ignore us. Left after 10 minutes. Place was maybe half full at 8pm.

Good Food Terrible Service

Fun place, nice bar tenders food looked good, did not order any though. Stop by for an engaging conversation.

So, this place has a lot going for it. If they could dial in the grub, they'd have a winning combination. I had the Uranium burger, and for a Garlic and Blue Cheese Burger my taste buds were thoroughly underwhelmed. The staff were friendly and courteous as well as quick. The fries that accompanied my burger were very good. I just wish I had been able to move some of that flavor to my burger. This really is a fun little hole in the wall, smack dab in the midst of Hoodsville on Oak. Give it a go sometime. Mileage may vary. 🤣

Good food, nice ambiance for a casual lunch

Every time we go here it doesn't fail to impress us. Even with a large group they cooked our food perfect. Best restaurant in Hood River.

Great cage café to relax during the day. Tuesday's karaoke is fun. Come check it out!

I have had this fabulous french dip every time I have gone for lunch. Add an awesome water and your set
