The restaurant itself is really nice and has a great atmosphere.
The service was a bit slow on both the drinks and the food, and unfortunately, when the food arrived, the fries were barely warm. I ordered the Automatic Ahi sandwich ($23.50). The tuna itself was good and the wasabi mayo flavor was on point, but the construction made it difficult to eat—the meat chunks were quite large and kept falling out. The bun also had a faint sweetness that just didn’t hit the right spot for me personally.
Overall, it wasn’t a “bad” meal—just not my personal preference for that specific sandwich. The 5th Floor IPA, however, was excellent.

Come here for the exclusive menu, three menu here has many unique dishes that you won’t have at other McMenamins. They have great clam chowder and lobster Mac n cheese.

My family and I are locals and frequent your restaurant often. We truly enjoy your establishment and want to start by saying we recognize how difficult it is to find and retain good employees these days. We’ve seen many staff members come and go over the years, and we genuinely appreciate the efforts of your current manager (I’m not sure of her name) — she seems to be doing a great job trying to turn things around since COVID. We also remember Becca fondly, as she was wonderful, and there are currently a few employees who consistently provide excellent service.
That said, I wanted to share some ongoing concerns regarding one particular server, Jacob D. This feedback isn’t meant to be unkind, but rather to highlight areas where additional training or support may be needed.
Over multiple visits, we’ve experienced repeated issues such as:
• Orders being incorrect (regular fries served instead of Cajun, Cajun tots replaced with fries, tomato on a burger when requested without).
• Condiments being incorrect (ketchup requested, ranch delivered).
• A split burger order being confused with a single burger order.
• Very long wait times before being greeted or offered water (around 25 minutes during a slow evening).
• Empty water glasses not being refilled, even when clearly visible.
• Appetizers and food taking extended periods despite the restaurant being nearly empty.
• A general lack of awareness of guest needs, such as checking in, offering refills, or asking if we’re ready to order.
We understand that some issues can originate in the kitchen, and we also notice a difference in consistency between weekday and weekend service. However, many of these concerns seem to stem from attentiveness and situational awareness rather than attitude — Jacob is not rude, but appears to struggle with basic customer service flow.
We genuinely like your restaurant and want to continue coming back. Our hope in sharing this is that it may help improve consistency and overall guest experience. With some additional training, or perhaps placing him in a support role better suited to his strengths, we believe service could greatly improve.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for continuing to serve our community.

McMenamins Sand Trap Pub is a relaxed spot with good food and a laid-back vibe. The menu has plenty of solid options, the drinks are always on point, and the atmosphere is perfect for hanging out with friends. Friendly service and a comfortable setting make it an easy place to kick back and enjoy your time.

Mediocre food and good beers / ciders
Love the Terminator beer or Rubinator (mix of Terminator with Ruby).
The Truffle Fries are good in combination with the Dilly Tuna Sandwich.
I’m starting to get the feeling though that the price is getting higher than the quality. I need to revaluate if it’s still okay to come eat and drink here.
Update Oct 2021: reducing from 5 to 3 stars.
It’s been several months now that quality sucks. Way too much salt on fries and low quality of food. We’ve called it out but it just keeps on happening. Also too often that there’s no table service. It feels like we can just as well go to some fast food joint.

I ordered a Truffle Shuffle pizza and it was not what was on the menu or what I had received on the past. This is the 2nd time this has happened when ordering this pizza. My mistake for not checkin when picking it up. It’s so good if made as it is supposed to be. It’s my birthday, super disappointed.

The staff here is awesome. Super polite and kind. Great food and great drinks. Even if they are so far away that they have to use Pepsi products… sadly no RC cola, but totally worth a visit!!!

Pretzel appetizer is delicious. Desserts were great. We were there during peak dinner time on a Friday and the waiter was as attentive as allowed with the rush. Most entrees were good, however I ordered the salmon and was very disappointed. The dish was overcooked, to the point that I’ve never had salmon so well done. They had run out of the sauce that was pared with the entree, so I had no sauce to try and make it work. The waiter noticed the dish and unprompted went to find a sauce to pair with the overcooked fish. I wish I had sent it back and gotten something else. I nibbled on others plates and determined any other dish would have been better than the salmon.

As a local, this is the perfect midway stop for us on Astoria errands from home in Manzanita / Nehalem. Pizza, pints, and a game of travel cribbage in a beautiful setting. We love the serene golf course views from the bar, and outdoors in nice weather.
