REVIEW: 
I simply adore the entire experience of eating at Tasty n Sons. This is not your traditional eating experience. They have small plates, medium plates, and just your regular boring-sized plates. The idea is to try new things, and share (family style) with your table. My personal favorite time to go is during breakfast. For dinner, I always get the fish plate. There is something about smoked fish, homemade crackers, bread, and pickle things that hit the spot for me. 

Seating is limited and this restaurant is VERY popular. I recommend going during untypical hours. Plan to take your time and enjoy the experience. If you sit at the [small] bar, you'll meet some great people every single time!

Smokehouse 21








Smokehouse 21/413 NW 21st Avenue/971.373.8990

HOURS OF OPERATION: 1130 - 2200/HAPPY HOUR: 1500 - 1800/CLEANLINESS: Excellent/PARKING: Street parking/STAFF: Friendly and knowledgeable/PRICE: && 


REVIEW:
This is an (AT LEAST) monthly dining destination for my household. They have the most delicious classic barbecue. The meat is so tender and they make it all there. You'll pass the smoker on your way into the restaurant. They also have side dishes to melt for. Macaroni and cheese with bacon and cornbread crumbs is a favorite of ours, as well as the fingerling potato salad with mustard grains and crunchy cornichons. 

There is street parking, which at times can be difficult to find (but worth it), and sometimes they run out of things quickly, so get there sooner than later. It can be frustrating when you crave your favorite dish! Eat inside or out and enjoy!
