McMenamins Six Arms

The food was a nice temperature. Thats really all I can say about this place. The menu item I ordered boasted a half pound of chicken tenders, which consisted of three average sized tenders. For the price of the meal the portions were abysmal. The tuna melt was something I could make at home. And the waitress was just okay. Nothing really stood out. Better to spend your money at the Starbucks Reserve across the street or one of the other authentic cuisines in the area.

While it has a "cool vintage" look to it I couldn't get over the musty/ mildew smell in the joint, it just feels dirty and we frequent all sorts of bars and dives, but this was just off. While our server was nice, the service itself was slow and just not attentive, especially for a Saturday and they were not busy. The Whiskey flight however was pretty good, no complaints there. But in a rainy town I'd probably rip up the flooring and give the place a good clean.

Avoid this place if you are looking to satiate immediate hunger. This was my first meal of the day and second time eating here. Previous visit I had sliders and Cajun tots with a ruby beer. I can tell there is someone different in the kitchen because the portion of tots I had with my burger along with the amount of seasoning was significantly less than the first time. That said, I ordered the dungeon burger instead of sliders this time and despite the server asking me how I wanted it (medium), I got a well done burger. I finished half because I was hungry and needed to eat. Additional to that there was a split hair in my sauce. I disregarded it because as a gay man my mouth has known hair if you catch my drift. I won't be back in the future though despite loving the ambiance due to the fact that I can see that turnover is high for management here and it shows in their attention to service and cleanliness. They didn't start clearing tables until they noticed me reviewing. Definitely NOT worth the price! PS-- I made mention to the server that my sauce had hair in it and that my burger was well done. He "remedied" it by mentioning in the most haughty/curt tone that my beer was on the house. I told him it was okay because I didn’t feel like contesting anything and just wanted to get home. I left the money and exited. I do hope they get better thought because this is a pretty dope place in terms on of the ambiance.

We've been to every McMenamins; this one is special. Our server (Lee, according to the receipt) was very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is very unique, which is saying something for a McMenamins, with lots of cool pipework and creepy crows all around. My wife and I got different burgers but we both agreed that these two were among the best we've had at any McMenamins.

I ended up having 2 Bourbon Furnaces's, which typically would give me a great relaxing strong buzz, but I also ate a beer battered Cod sandwich (which had a great homemade tartar sauce and different veggies on it) and one of the pretzels with a cheese ale fondue. They were all delicious! And the cook, Patrick, had actually brought out the whole meal, which pleasantly surprised me as cooks don't typically do that, and his service in just doing that was badass! My waiter, Corey, did a phenominal job, as well!

We came to Six Arms from Olympia, WA. We have the passport and wanted to check out the McMenamins up north. The food was delicious, I got the gryo and my husband got the backyard with tots. The tots were nice and cruncy, too! I also got the cider flight, and they were all great! The atmosphere was super chill and relaxing. I loved all the chandeliers.
