A Cozy Christmas Eve Gem on the Harbor!”
Our second visit to McMenamins Kalama Harbor Lodge was just as magical as the first! We were thrilled they were open Christmas Eve morning, making it the perfect halfway meeting point for a breakfast with family passing through. It’s tucked just far enough away from I-5 to feel like a destination, and the harbor views are worth every extra minute of the drive.
We were seated in a dreamy back corner right by a crackling fireplace with views of the water. Our server was fantastic—friendly, fast, and very attentive to our party of six.
The Food: My husband and I split the Eggs Benedict. The eggs were poached to perfection, and while the hollandaise was savory and rich, the jalapeño grits stole the show! They were so creamy and flavorful that I think I liked the grits more than the main dish. The rest of the table raved about the Angel’s Crunchy French Toast with its tart raspberry jam and the hearty Biscuits & Country Gravy.
Everyone left happy and full. We’ve already decided to make this our annual Christmas holiday tradition!

A wonderful venue for a meal. Not an extensive menu but a generous selection. Excellent food taste and quality. Fantastic service and atmosphere.
A bit of a challenge to get off and back on the freeway – definitely worth the stop.

I love these hotels. I would definitely stay here again. The food and atmosphere is fantastic. I love the moody vibe to this place. The hidden rooms are great for kids. The art work is fun! I also love the coffee! Great value!

We went on a Monday night and was perfect. No wait time for a table and we had the most amazing server! I highly recommend getting the King Kalama burger and the tots too, of course! The alaskan cod with mashed potatoes and veggies was perfect! The mojito is definitely their go to drink and for good reason! They have it dialed in! This McMenamins location is one of my favorites both for the views but also because every side bar/restaurant is fun, and all of these spots have great river views.

Stopped here while traveling trough. The building and views on the river are beautiful. The food was good along with the service. Worth the stop and would visit again.

As an out of town visitor, I was looking forward to having lunch at this lovely restaurant.
The decor is unique and the ambiance great. Very friendly, accommodating staff. The view of the river adds to the charm. My old friend Joe loves this place and we were looking forward to a lunch to equal the ambiance, perhaps to exceed it!
Unfortunately, in all fairness, I could not rate the food 5 stars. I had blackened salmon, which was dry and over cooked. My friend had a house burger which was too well done. To appreciate, that it was wrapped in lettuce, as requested.
After lunch I visited the gift shop which was well stocked and had unique items.
I appreciate the love and care towards our pets and how water is made available everywhere! Something we need to do more on the East Coast.
Lastly, a rather unusual mention of the men bathrooms, which, of course, I didn’t visit, but here’s a picture, to show its uniqueness, as per Joe.
Parking was at a premium. It is a busy place!

Our family attended a music event at the hotel on the second floor. I had the Special Mushroom ravioli which was a small portion and decent but bland and my husband had the Caribbean Chicken bowl which was decent but bland as none of the food seemed fresh. The chicken was likely straight from the freezer. So just stick with the beer, atmosphere, music, and Cajun tots as he dinner food will leave you feeling disappointed.

Had a very disappointing experience on my last visit – they left the stickers on the bell peppers in my salad, service was slow and unpleasant, and prices have gone up quite a bit (totally not supported by the quality either). I had such a great first experience here and went out of my way to return but never again!
When we arrived, we were greeted by the hostess and she was very friendly and welcoming – but that’s where the pleasantries ended pretty much lol. Our service seemed very annoyed when asked what the soup and dessert of the day was – so much so that we never found out the dessert bc we didn’t want to bother him again lol. I tried to smile at several of the other servers only to be met with glares. What is going on here?
For the first food disappointment- Our server said the soup of the day was a type of “creole” soup and that it was like gumbo. I grew up in Louisiana so heck yeah I want some gumbo lol. It was pretty much inedible. The portion was tiny (thank god lol). The seafood nonexistent and the tiny piece I did have was rubbery and so overcooked. The sausage was an Italian style – not andouille – so the flavor was strange with the broth. The broth was very citrusy with a weird spice blend that was so thick it was like slurping sand – totally didn’t work at all. And there were potatoes in it?? In all my years in Lousiana I never had a Creole soup with potatoes in it . I don’t know what genre this soup is supposed to be – but it’s definitely not “creole” lol.
Up next – the main issue that has caused me to never consider returning. I ordered their BBQ chicken salad. At first I was enjoying it bc the flavor was great and chicken tender – was initially very nice. Until I found that they left the stickers on the bell peppers in the salad – cut right through them – edges all shredded (see photo). Do they even wash their salad veggies?? How much of the sticker did I eat?? THOSE STICKERS ARE MADE OF VINYL!! Disgusting! Now I’ll be scouring every salad I ever eat to make sure I’m not eating the dang stickers so thanks for that I guess.
When our server finally came back to our table after an extended absence – he was completely unsurprised. His response was to laugh and say “yeah that tracks”. That tracks?!! So the kitchen does this regularly? Maybe not something you want to admit to customers? No apology, nothing else – completely unconcerned. We couldn’t get out of there fast enough lol.
And to add insult to injury, their prices have gone way up. Totally unjustified. I was so excited to bring my hubby here – we drove like 20 mins out of our way – never again.

Came in late on a Saturday night. You could tell they had been really busy. We were greeted warmly and treated well. No complaints. Love looking out at the river as we eat. The seared tuna tacos had a mango salsa that made me want more. The crab and shrimp roll was not dry and had a nice flavor.

Moments aside of I-5, but feels like miles away with relaxing views of the Columbia from all bars and rooms. Wildlife and ships share the water. It’s a calming respite. We are thankful to have the opportunity to stay the night. The room is spacious and the balcony views and chairs are fantastic.
