Black Rabbit Restaurant Troutdale

My Wife and I were up early making our way to Trillium Lake and needed a stop for breakfast. We did a quick Yelp Search and came across the highest rated restaurant in Troutdale. From the outside the place is beautiful like something out of the old west. The entry to the restaurant is striking, rocking chairs in the front just awesome. The hostess was extremely friendly as was the rest of the staff. The dining area was just as cool with the old time booths and tables along with the old time lighting. We didn't realize this restaurant was part of the McMenamins brand, which is a big deal around Oregon. They have a gift shop with anything and everything you may have forgotten on your way. Food we ordered Caramel Apple Waffle: Wow this thing is HUGE. TONS of bacon crisp apples and amazing sourdough Waffle this is a must get. Make your own Omelet Great vegetable Omelet with fresh vegetables and amazing homestyle potatoes Chai Latte: Really delicious surprising to find a good chai in this location Coffee: Nothing to call home about, it was hot but nothing special. The Menu isn't extensive but they have enough of a variety you can really get what you want. Prices are a bit expensive but the service was fantastic with great recommendations from the waitstaff. The ambiance and hotel grounds are reason enough to make the staff, the good food is just a bonus.

I would have ordered the rib eye but the size wasn't even mentioned and for the price, risky. So, tried the 9 dollar burger for 18 bucks. Burger was good but not that good, bacon really hard. The staff was really nice and friendly and the orders correct. Tried the High Kick for desert. It was good. Took growlers to be filled and they refused because of the pandemic, but they are willing to sell us new growlers to be filled. SERIOUSLY? You always machine rinse first and you have no problems with touching my cash. So, I'm suppose to keep buying growlers? Defeats the purpose of being more enviromentaly responsible by re-using.
