A Good Place – After reading the previous two reviews, I almost did not go, but it was a birthday party and went anyway. The priime rib was a little fat, but tasty and tender. Two in the party ordered oysters, which I usually do. Their oyster were hot and cooked just right. Over cooked oysters are like rubber. The bread was good, as was the potato. Going with a part of fifteen, we had to wait an hour, even though we called ahead. The view of the river was great. We found out that they charge $1.50 per person if you bring you... read more
BAD, BAD, BAD!!! It just gets worse. – I tried the bland tasteless paste they try to pass off as chicken 'n dumplings once. HOWEVER! Maybe it was just a bad night, so I decided to try it one more time. This time I went for the pan fried oysters - they were over-cooked (and really looked as though they'd been deep fried), the relish tray was stale featuring limp celery. The salad was limp. My friend had the chicken livers and mushroom gravy - the livers were tasteless the gravy was horrible... and the service! Forget about it... read more
Meh...Average – Went with a couple friends in September - ordered chicken and dumplings to compare to Mother's Bistro - the chicken was tough, the gravy didn't have much flavor (portion was big, I had tons of leftovers, although I should have just tossed it), and the utensils/dishes weren't that clean. We went around 6 - while it was light out, I was being blinded by the sun, but when the sun went down, no lights came on so we found ourselves basically sitting in the dark with one small candle lit on the table. We were there... read more
Excellent spot and tasty fried chicken – If you're staying in Troutdale, this is definitely the place to eat. When we checked into our hotel we ask the young desk clerk to recommend something better than the truck stop cafes and fast food along the frontage road. We were real pleased with Tad's Chick Dump. I guess we missed the summer crowds, since it was a Sunday evening. That may be the trick. Our meal was unhurried and tasty. The view of the Sandy River was gorgeous. We will definitely stop here again, if we're in the are... read more
stepping back in time – we don't go every weekend,recommend the call ahead seating place is packed. great veiw great family resturant. visit web site for menu.
Memories Vs. Reality – Tad's is not what it used to be! It has become a cattlecall and the food is marginal at best. The service is hustled, seating packed and very dark. The host was very rude and unaccomidating, as evidently they've got the business and don't care about customer service. After 20+ years of going, I will never return!
I disagree with a review, that said the Dumplin's were doughy. My experience was the opposite. I found the Dumplin's, perfect. My favorite menu item is, "Sauteed Chicken Livers in Mushroom Gravy", with a Dumplin. Awesome combination. The atmosphere, is great, looking down onto the Sandy River. Easy to get to, from Portland, just take I-84, East, to exit 18, and go south 1 mile, along the Sandy River. Most parking is accross the street, from the restaurant. Be careful, when crossing the street, as people drive past there, too... read more
2 for food, 7 for ambience – The chicken & dumplings were so bad that we asked them to take them away. The gravy tasted like that cheap yellow stuff from Heinz. The salad was dry with low quality ingredients. Hey, but a nice view. If you're going to advertise a particular dish in the title of your business name at least make it decent. Go to Manzana for above average chicken 'n dumplings.
I Heart the Chick Dump! – Don't go to Tad's for the food, go for the whole experience. Yes, the food is marginal, but the drinks are good, the service friendly, and view great. I go to Tad's in the summer and for special occasions - it makes a great first date venue. Order something other than the chicken'n'dumplings and you'll be happier.
