Wonderful ambiance. Dark and warm. Candles. Nice music. Very friendly neighborhood place IMO. Traditional menu circa 1970. Very tasty Ruben. A bit heavy. But that’s a Ruben.

Beautiful Portland evening to sit outside and enjoy a beer and a bite to eat. The Inn is right the the Met making it easy to reach. Best Ruben I have I have ever tasted and large enough I have some left for tomorrow.

Horrible. The person asked how many in our party, then returned waving us along then stopped looked at my toddler and proceeds to ask if she had been vaccinated! WHAT! SHES 3 years old, you cannot get a covid vaccine unless youre 16 or older. They refused to allow us to sit INSIDE restaurant, only our door. The EU was setting and is too chilly to be sitting outside to eat with a very young child! Boo two thumbs down. One star service.

Tuna melt was delicious! Staff friendly and attentive.To dine in, you have to show vaccine card and IID. Be prepared for hat.Great little spot!

Fresh crab cocktail, what a treat! Excellent service and clean, quaint dining area. Lots of outdoor seating as well 😀

Great Food and fair price. Good service and while we did have a little wait for our food the outdoor seating was comfortable and relaxing.

Great local hangout. Good food, and a great relaxed vibe. Excellent outdoor seating!

We have been coming here for 6 years now and have always had a great time. It’s a laid back friendly place to drink a few beers. I highly recommend their home made horseradish sauce if you like to add a kick to your sandwich. During summer check out the deck. In winter they have cozy booths. Bridget the waitress is really friendly too!

Best Reuben in Portland. Looking for the old Portland? This is it.

Ordered food to go and had a few drinks while waiting. Their food is amazing, I got the tuna melt and was very pleased with how it turned out. Tasty, quick, and great atmosphere, I highly recommend!

Its been a few years since my last visit, but as usual, the Ruben didnt disappoint in the least. Amazing!Love the atmosphere, history and of course the food is excellent.All the outdoor seating on a nice day is just perfect in this quiet little corner of Portland.A must experience for foodies and beer lovers who have an appreciation of local history and vibe.

Super Nice Place. Super Friendly Staff. Great Beer.

It was okay, really busy of course, we were not prepared for the Highly Energetic & Vocal party that was sitting outside next to us, so we just ordered chips and a beer then left. Chips and salsa were very good though. I would love to take my husband back for the sandwiches, they were great 15 years ago, hope they still are.

Ive come here a couple of times mostly on weekday nights after work... Each time I end up waiting 30 to 40 minutes on the sidewalk before getting a table. I understand that there may be some staff shortages still but it seems odd to me each time that there are numerous open tables. I also usually end up waiting quite a long time before having an order taken once seated. For example I brought some friends the other day who arent from the area and we waited over an hour before being seated and having our order taken and it was a Tuesday night and not very crowded. The staff are friendly. Food is pretty okay. Had a tasty Marionberry cocktail! Honestly will probably return since the atmosphere is very homey feeling and overall the experience was good. I just wish I didnt have to wait so long for a table at times when it isnt very crowded

Ive loved this place for years. Just got reacquainted with their lovely house Reuben. Highly recommended.

Great drinks and serviceAmazing atmosphere and foodCovered seating and heat

It has been there forever and probably will be. Barring the possibility of an invasion by hostile foreign government, Beaverton is a possibility, this place will always have a place in my heart and my stomach. The latter for the quality of food and atmosphere as well as for being the restaurant that converted me to a former hater of the horseradish and/or rye bread faction(s). Of the former for incubating, tormenting and ultimately allowing the electorate to put this man in charge of Stumptown while it was still at risk of bad influence from naughty people.

Good pub fare. Dont go looking for any fancy food. Nice deli sandwiches. Best to go during off peak hours. Can get quite busy. It has a dog friendly front deck. Grab a beer or cider and relax out on the deck or inside in a dark and cozy atmosphere.

Sloooow service - waited on the sidewalk for a good 15 minutes before being shown a table even though a third of the tables were empty. Then slow to get order taken. Food was OK there is better nearby. Glad I tried this place, but I will not return.

This was a college hangout back in the 70s so since I was in the area decided to stop by for old times sake. Theyve made changes to the seating area but otherwise still great!

Im sure this lays at the feet of ownership/management as I have no issues with the servers but this business proudly practices discrimination and segregation at this location. First time back in Portland for a while, was quite disappointed. Will not be returning.

Terrific Old Town atmosphere, unmatched people watching, and a yummy lunch & dinner menu. A charming restaurant & bar, unique to Portland, and well worth an occasional jaunt downtown, especially in the nice spring weather were having now.--> Its also conveniently near Powells, should a post-luncheon bibliophilic expedition tickle your fancy...

The old goose is still a great place to gather and have drink with friends. Eat outside if possible. The trees give shade and the tables are situated to feel cozy.

Decent food for sure... kinda inconsistent cooks from my experiences though.... excellent location to catch a beer before you get on the train back to Hillsboro...

This is my favorite place to eat inside or outside downtown! My food always tastes amazing and my beer 🍺 perfectly served. The pizza is my favorite because of the sauce they make, tastes so good with my beer. They have a great Margarita too! Super chill atmosphere and definitely a top pick for me. Stop in on lunch hour and grab a chocolate chip cookie too, fresh baked!

Delicious Reuben, fantastic waitstaff and nice draft selection.

Great Reubens. Good draft beer selection. Outdoor seating. Nice vibe in the neighborhood.

Best Ruben sandwich on the planet. Exceptional salads and amazing service.Open for comfortable outdoor eating and a great selection of local beverages.

Always hated my moms Cus the sauerkraut was horrible. 30 years later I tried a Reuben from this place and now all I want are Reubens haha

Cozy, laid-back vibes and an impressive rotating selection of local beers and ciders will get you hooked on Goose Hollow. Across the street from the Max station, stop in when youre riding by.

Great local hangout with good food and a relaxed atmosphere. Expose yourself to a beer.

Classic Reuben was more better than I thought. So good. I stuffed myself with the first half and stared at the second like man I want to eat you so bad. Yumm...

Their Reubens arent as good as others Ive had in the area. The potato salad was excellent. Service was great in spite of being short staffed at the busy lunch hour.

Prolly one of the best Ruebens ive EVER had in my 33 years stuck in this flesh prison.

What a reuben! Friendly staff, prompt service and tasty eats and sips.

A nice outdoor deck and good service. I havent found my favorite dish yet, but will keep trying. It is close and very pleasant neighborhood bar

Best Ruben in the PNW! Super pleasant staff and nice outdoorsy setting by the max. Good beer list too! You shall not be disappointed.

Excellent spot for a Reuben and a pint

Excellent lunch. Good food reasonably priced. Many choices of cold beers.

Their claim of the best Ruben in the World is a boastful one. Given there are many other Rubens to eat in this world, this one ranks up there. A little too much sauce for my liking, but everything is crafted and wonderful. The decor is fun and shows a lot of what Portland was.

The food was savory and fresh, the ambiance was warm and inviting, and the service was friendly and personable. We had a guest from Scotland who said it was a proper pub. Nuff said.

Ruben was awesome as was the potatoes salad. Great selection of microbrews. Outdoor dining was very pleasant.

Pam thank you for paying my tab you helped me a lot tonight. Your food is good. The dim lights have helped my headache and my eyes to just kinda rest a little bit so thank you for everything you have done for me tonight.

I know that restaurants are struggling to find staff but the service is really really really poor. Been waiting for about 20 min with an empty glass, wait staff has looked my way but keeps walking. Been coming here since the 80’s but might not be coming back for a while. suprised the owner is no where in sight.

This place is awesome! They say they have the best Reuben on the planet and they are not lying. Super friendly staff, great service and excellent food.

Good food with a nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Theyve done a nice job with their covered outdoor patio spaces. Ill definitely visit again!

Absolutely fantastic! I forgot today was crab salad Tuesday and was all set for a reuben. But the salad prevailed! It was beyond delicious and Im not disappointed with my selection. I am, however going back tomorrow for the reuben and I cant wait!

Great family-owned pub. Good beer selection. Tasty food. Love me a Reuben.

Great food at a small but very busy neighborhood eatery.

Tasty food, excellent Bloody Mary’s! Great deck and service! Good for large groups also!

Quaint. Comfortable. Friendly. The Goose Hollow Inn delivers top quality food in a homey atmosphere. Definitely a destination location for their reuben sandwich, as its decadently good, but their other offerings are delicious too.

$6 pitchers. Currently outdoor dining only.

Words cant describe my affinity for this place. When I die, Id like my wake to be held here with endless pitchers of Pabst, hot turkey sandwiches & The Band playing through the speakers.

Didnt have much to eat but it was nice outside

Seriously the best Reuben on earth, hands down. Lovely outdoor space and the staff are *chefs kiss*

Great place for lunch and dinner! Whoop! whoop!

Great atmosphere, friendly staff; if you want a sandwich and a beer this is perfect, if you want something else then maybe not here

Worst experience I have ever had. We sat for 30 minutes with nobody coming to our table. They are obviously severely understaffed. We were really looking forward to eating here. We ended up ordering a pizza next door while we waited then got up and left when our pizza order was ready

Best bar in Goose Hollow! Excellent sandwiches and great beer on tap. The roast beef or turkey melt dip is a must try. They also have a nice terrace and good ambiance. And I almost forgot the pint of PBR for 2.50!!

I came for the Rueben and I was not disappointed.

Great food, but dont go if youre in a hurry.

Been going to this place for years. Great neighborhood pub with a great beer selection. Food is good but I always have to get the hot veggie sandwich, its the best.

Get the au jus and reuben sandwich for one of the best bites youll ever have.They also have a great selection of best beers ciders and wines around

Great place. Nice open patio. Friendly and personable service. If its not the best Reuben in the world, its definitely in the top 3. Seriously great sandwich.

Amazing sandwiches. That’s the hot turkey.

So, heres the backstory: Im flying back to PDX, arriving in the late evening. By the time I land the airport restaurants are closing around me and Im hungry. What to do? I get off the MAX in downtown Portland, hoping to find something hot to eat, but with very few choices, and one of those very expensive, Im feeling down. I hop back on the MAX, heading west, resigned to having a hungry night with an almost-empty fridge.Open now yields the Goose Hollow Inn. So I jump off the MAX, walk a few steps to the inn, and Im greeted by a cozy neighborhood dive with the overwhelming scent of pastrami in the air.Yes! Hot Reubens, made to order in a tiny space, with all the appropriate sides: pickle and potato salad. I am excited. I order one to go, hop outside, and make it back to the MAX platform with two minutes to spare before the next train arrives!So theres the story: tasty hot food, late at night, available so quickly that you wont miss a train. As my kids said: thats a happy.

Definitely an above average tavern. Great reubens, a good wine list and the fresh crab addition to salads is always solid.

Reubens and chowder and a fun atmosphere for friends and family.

I would really give this place like a 4.6-4.7, but thats not an option. This place is cool. At the moment, they have patio seating... which is great for covid. Today I got a Reuben, potato salad, carrots and a full size soup, and it really ran about $20 not including tip. Personally I dont love the potato salad. I think it has potential, but isnt quite there yet, but some buddies of mine have enjoyed it, so I cant REALLY knock it.. Anyway the staff works hard. Worth a try IMO.Their cocktails are also pretty dope.

A cozy place with very nice servers. I considered getting something other than the famous Reuben, but couldnt help myself after watching so many of them come out of the oven looking so cheesy and delicious. The sandwich was incredible and the sides (carrot sticks, potato salad, and a pickle) were perfectly paired with the sandwich. I left absolutely stuffed to the brim. Next time I may opt to split it with someone. I am super content, though. Yum!

I have been to Goose Hollow at least 100 times over the past years. I am now leaving portland forever to move to another state. Number one on my bucket list was GH for the reuben. It really is the best in the world. And Ive tried hundreds. Yesterday I returned (again...I was there the week before for the Tuesday crab salad! Oh my yes!!!) and it was absolutely off the hook. First and foremost, the reuben was exceptional as usual. But! It was a cold day. The patio was warm, cozy and delightful. The service was impeccable. I was able to kiss my darling friend goodbye in a place that felt like home. I will miss you. God speed.

Go to spot but only outdoor see eating loses a star

Great food and friendly staff.

They claim to have the Best Rueben on the Planet and while Ive never had a Reuben outside the states, I can definitively say its the best gosh darn one Ive ever had.The service was prompt and friendly, the beer selection was fantastic and I will definitely be returning again and again.

The best Reuben sandwich Ive ever had, bar none. Just get it straight up, no need for au jus or condiments. Its perfect.

Delightful jem of a place! Optional outside seating or inside in this neighborhood-type bar. Known for their Reuben sandwiches.

As advertised, the best reuben on the planet.They also make a wonderful dungeness crab and melted cheese sandwich.Expose yourself to art, go eat here at Mayor Bud Clarks place!

Quite an amazing little escape in West Portland

Love this place but not great in winter. Their outside seating has very few heaters and they automatically turn off. Its freezing and uncomfortable. Will be back when weather warms up.

Great patio, amazing veggie reuben, long tap list and yummy cocktails!

Best Reuben in town 🙌

Great food, great staff. Lots of outdoor seating

If youre server keeps apologizing and thanking your table for being patient expect your order in a hour or more.

The best place for drinks and conversation on the westside.Thanks go to Bud Clark for having a vision.Edit: The outdoor dining area is a good setup for viral plague times, so check that out if you gotta get out of the house and it fits your risk profile.

Great food, beer and service!

A classic. Such a great place. I hope this place never goes away. We need more places like these in Portland.

Good beers but they have NIMBY signs up

Very friendly neighborhood joint. Their ruben is out of the world.

Burned food. Brusque and extremely slow wait staff. I had to play a giant game with the waitress just to find something on their menu they had in stock. Only at Goose Hollow Inn, yall.P. S. The cookies are garbage

Still the best reuben sandwich around 😋

Love this place! I had the turkey Ruben au jus and a bourbon furnace- perfect for a November night :)

Exceptional service. Quick and to the point. It’s not awkward. The service is team oriented - always someone checking to see if you need a new pint. Rubens are 5 stars. Beer is in rotation and never disappoints. This place is a classic Portland spot but is also welcoming to all - no matter what. Absolute great chill spot in the west side.

Food is good, but service is VERY slow.

They have the best Reubens. Ive been coming here for almost 20 years now and theyve never failed to satisfy me.Try their Turkey Reuben. It might be even better then their classic.They have a good selection of wines by the glass and beers on tap. A great patio when tune weather cooperates. All and all, I great classic place in Goose Hollow.

They do not serve fries but definitely a chill place to check out! Its the 1st stop on the max soon as you come through the tunnel (Goose Hollow) If youre coming from Beaverton

Great food. Get the Reuben. I wish they had fries. Great place to grab a drink, during the pandemic. The parking lot is all sitting for the moment.

Had a bloody mary, ok i had 2 because it was GOOD, sat outside under tent, no heater, but did managed to stay dry, tables were a little wet. Ordered the halibut burger, was good but what was amazing and possibly the best potato salad ive ever had, was the potato salad! Lol returning for the good customer service, n potato salad ☺

I really enjoyed the ambience of the inn, very warm and relaxing. I had the house made Reuben, which was delicious, though my favorite was there potato salad. The prices are reasonable too.The place does get packed before Thorns or Timbers games, so get there early.

Great local pub with lots of outside dining. The Reuben sandwich is to die for.

This place makes me so happy. I enjoy the outdoor, covered, heated seating and the amazing pastrami sandwiches, which you can split with a friend for a small extra charge (worth it!). Best sandwich I have had in years and I hear a lot of the other things are good too.
