imqz "Finding cheap family friendly food that is good :)"

Work nearby so have been to several times now and service is always good and food always great!
We asre often in at or just after busy times so the tables have been dirty- but they are cool tables-home made arty pieces with embedded items and drawings and the walls are decorated with a variety of items- sculptures and decorated pizza boxes are in the majoority.
They have a daily special – a slice of pizza with soup or salad- your choice4 of toppings for the slice and the salad. Really good blue cheese dressing- runny once but usually thick with good chucnk of cheese in it.
Kids will enjoy the art- the good flavors and the playing card order numbers. Water is self serve- ask for ice if you want it.
Looks like a decent selection of brews and wines but we drink water. Seversl bottled drinks- the kid ordered an Izzy.
They deliver for $2 and the menu has a good selection. They do breakfast too (9 am)- will have to try it sometime.

Nummy! Does not taste like a vegie at all :D
Have been to three Carls- one in Beaverton- the one on 82 and Powell (inside ok except for dirtyish bathrooms but outside loads of homeless and ’working’) and the CTC mall . Bvt was the cleanest and fastest. CTC store was super super SUPER slow- seriously. Food good at all three. Have had the Prime rib burger- s’ok, nothing spectacular, and the $6 avacado bacon burger- very good :) The chocolate cake is a fave of a friend of mine but the zucchini rocks my world!

Ye olde small town place. Restaurant between two attached bars- one bar is closed for remodeling- going to be like the ’Dotty’s’. (there is a ’foxy’s’also very close- owned by same people).
Big parking lot on the side. Daily specials for lunch and dinner- cheap eats menus for breakfast and lunch in addition to special- see window on way in for dailies and regular specials.
Smoking bar.
Lots of booths up front and the regular counter with stools- plus bigger dining room in back and another room in the very back for meetings and groups.
Tuesday nights from 7 to 9 pm is live music night. Pick-up jazz regulars and guests) play with singers and lots of audience participation.
They run coupons in the local hand-outs and charge gratuity on music nights (have to – too many people sit for hours enjoying the music!).
Family friendly- coloring sheets for kids and good kid menu.

This place is right on the way to many places we go so we were going there a lot. Sadly we have decided not to go there anymore because the service has become so inconsistent or consistently bad.
We have yet to have a menu and waiter/waitress come to the table in under 20 min. Ok so we expect that- if there were menus on the table we could at least look at it but only the deal flip cards are there. Sometimes we have missed the time window for the happy hour stuff because they did not come over in time. Food is still really really good- but orders are always wrong- loads of onions when asked for NO onions- the tater tot order was a whopping 9 last time when it was close to 30 the time before and the kids burger was drenched in sauces when she asked for it ti be dry. This stuff happens over and over and the noise volume is unbelievable. We have to scream the order – but even when we write it down for them it still comes back wrong.
We may try again at some point but not anytime soon. What a shame :(

We have been there a few times now and really enjoy it. It has the typical ‘pub style’ wood tables and benches- a toy corner for the kids- good sized menu and very good food. Service was fine- not the nest but no complaints.
Tuesday is apparently ‘magic night’ with a magician that comes in- evidenced by the many cards on the ceiling. Kids eat free with an adult dinner. We have not been there on a Tue- weekend dining so far.
Very happy with the food- tasty and plentiful. Slightly pricey but not out of line. We will go back! :)

We have been going there for several years and always go away full with at least one ‘doggie bag’.
The Gparents introduced us and the kids love it, even the grown up kids- if for nothing else then the peanut shell tossing. You get bowls of peanuts to much while you wait and you are supposed to toss the shells on the floor (or at each other). large portions, good flavor, prices a bit spendy but that is to be expected- it’s not fast food.
The womens bathroom is terribly dark though, cavelike! Small children might be spooked.

LOVE the online ordering!
They always show up in under 25-30 min (we do live nearby). Generally friendly staff and service- great delivery people.

We have been going since they opened the first version, then they expanded. Atmosphere nice, comfy furniture. Feels very safe as is close to PD HQ and lots of police stop by :)
Music is often VERY LOUD and we think we saw some karaoke happening one night but did not linger to be sure…
Most staff are very nice and helpful. NOBODY gets my order right even though I splurged on the special order card with the directions printed on it- even when POINTED OUT and said out loud more then once, but hey you can’t have everything :)
We go alll the time, glad to have them nearby- we have an odd dearth of SB in the area.

We have been coming since they opened. Restroom has always been dirty, no matter when we come. Food always fresh and they are very nice about making the sandwich exactly how we like them. You used to be able to get extra meat for $1 then $2 then they made a whole ‘extra meat’ menu selection after Quiznos opened nearby (may be coincidence ) but that doubled the sandwich price- for an extra 3-4 slices of meat?
We liked the daily sandwiches but wished they’d put something besides tuna on Friday. We like the new deal but they need some good coupons!
It seems a little run down for a fairly new place, but we go there often, it is close and cheapish and convenient.

not to far from work so we often pick up lunch. Go BEFORE 11ish or it is way too busy. Nice employees , food is fresh. Prices are spendy but quality is consistent.

We have been going there there as long as I remember! Oh the glories of standing on tippy toe with my nose pressed against the display cases with those scrumptious desserts!
Now that i am old and diabetic I do not go as often, though the food is always good .
The last time I went was to the one out in outer SE (122?). It was looking run down, dated and a bit seedy- but the food was just as terrific as remembered, if still pricey.
