McMenamins West Linn Pub

Staple of West Linn's food scene. Great fries during happy hour for $2 and I love the loose leaf tea!

Not as good as the Oregon City location. Bacon on my burger was almost raw and even though I specified well done on my burger, it was a lot closer to rare. Fries were just under hot enough as if they sat on the counter for a while and limp. I sat at the bar and after several minutes a waitress finally asked if I had been helped.  I guess they don't have a bartender. Overall I think my 3 star rating might be a bit of a sttetch.

I am a fan of the McMenamins chains--all across Oregon. I am truly one of the faithful, I will go to any restaurant with their name on it.

As usual there was artwork by local artists. These murals were beautiful. Rather than clumsily describe it, I took some pictures of them.

The food is good American fare. I enjoyed my Mac and Cheese thoroughly.

To give you a sense of the creativity of the McMenamin chain: one of the restaurants was converted insane asylum, another was a school and there are many others. This particular restaurant didn't seem to be converted from anything, but it had character--from the murals to the indoor patio scaffolding to the numerous potted plants hanging from the ceiling.
