Prodigal Son

I am a fan.  Great atmosphere and great beer.  Food is generally brew pub fanfare, but taken up a notch.  This place is a winner!

Fantastic road food - a great place to stop along an otherwise disappointing and culinarily desolate stretch of road.  The whole family LOVED it!

This place is fantastic!  We sought this out after doing some pre-trip research on a weekend in the Pendleton area, and wound up eating there twice and getting a growler to go.  The beers we tried were all fantastic, the service was great, and the food was way above expectations.  House made potato chips or fries, house-made sauerkraut and corned beef on the reuben, and - for my wife the vegetarian - a house-made veggie patty that was really tasty.  She highly recommends the Minotaur (olive spread, feta, and sun dried tomatoes on a patty of your choice).  We wish we lived closer to this place....we'd be here all the time.
