This place is nice for a drink or an appetizer in the bar or outside. The interior is very dark with a back country cabin kind of feel. The service and food were both good on the night we went for dinner, but the prices were very high for what we received. I wouldn't go again for dinner, and I... More

Had lunch here during the summer and enjoyed sitting outside, food was good. Went back for dinner and we were very disapointed. Service was not good, food was poor, and way too expensive. Won't return. More

I can't believe how fresh and large the oyster shooters are at Shirley's Tippy Canoe Bar and Grill. Went in to take out hamburgers that are very large and freshly cooked. Onion rings are freshly made to order and tasty. This restaurant and bar along the Sandy River on the Old Historic Highway in-between the Troutdale Bridge and the Stark... More

My new regular stop when I'm in Portland. Great place with a very friendly and helpful staff. Good wine selection, outdoor area (apparently with live music throughout the year - but since I'm in Portland on business I'll probably never actually see for myself). Great inside decor and a perfect location to escape the daily grind (right on the river... More

My husband and I went here for a late lunch, we sat in the back yard. The service was good, and the food was delicious. My husband had the Club Burger which has all the fixings of a club sandwich plus a hamburger patty. It was huge and tasty, the fries were really good too. I had one of the... More

The only reason to go to Tippy Canoe is for the outdoor seating that is reminiscent of the Flintstones. Indoor seating is dated and the food indoors and outdoors is large portioned but terribly mediocre at best. When there are so many great restaurants in the Portland area, there really is no reason to spend your time here. More

My husband ordered the chili cheese burger & he liked it. The outdoor patio is very nice. our waiter was very nice but he did not know the... More

Food was excellent!! They have the French Dip figured out! Service was quick and friendly. Atmoshphere was clean and pleasant... Can't wait to go back during the summer and enjoy the backyard garden around the firepits. More

Happened to find this place on vacation--was very pleased! Sat in back on stone tables and enjoyed the atmosphere. Had a great meal and good service--would definately go back if we are in the area again. Was a great way to spend the last meal on our vacation! More
