South Pacific Cafe and Lounge

We went here because of the stellar reviews posted here… woah, were we at the same restaurant?! First off, parking is ridiculously bad, especially considering they weren’t at all busy. We were seated promptly, and service was friendly and fast. I finally convinced my spouse to try a peanut butter burger, which I’ve eaten often at Main Event and Killer Burger. He caved and ordered it, as did I, and what a disappointment. Burgers were dry and tasteless, and were unappetizing enough neither of us could finish them. The garlic fries sounded great, but were poorly executed. The mojito was tasty, but the pieces of mint were so large it was more like eating a salad than drinking a mojito. The one nice surprise was that the wine was actually quite affordable. The desserts on the menu sounded divine, and we really did want to order some, but our experience with the main course was so disappointing that we didn’t want to spend even more $ to be further disappointed. We love to support local businesses, & were wanting to love this place. We may give it another chance, because our experience there seems to be atypical. I’m only giving 3 stars instead of 2 because the hostess and waitstaff were really on point.

This is my favorite place to eat in Battle Ground. The variety of food and the quality is wonderful.
We have had many dishes here, and not one has disappointed.
Their Jeger streak and prawns is amazing. .love what the chef does with this sauce!
We are return regularly and always come back to try something else.

Been eyeballing this place for awhile and we finally tried it. YAY! Ordered Seafood Fettuccine, Crab Melt and for a first time ever, Fish Tacos. Well… dayum, Fettuccine had a TON of seafood in it, excellent flavor and a ridiculous amount! Came with Turkey Pot Pie soup, ALSO yummy. Crab Melt was rich and tasty and again, LOTS of food there. Both the wife and I have avoided trying fish tacos for years (just didn’t sound right) but we decided to try them here. OH DAMN YUM!!! VERY good stuff also. I’m giving 4 stars because it was really good but I always reserve that last star after I get farther in the menu… but I’m leaning in that direction!

This hole in the wall spot is hands down one of my favs in BG! Amazing food made from scratch & an awesome atmosphere!

The service was good and clearly they do somethings right by the amount of people there, but I wasn’t impressed. The steak was over cooked, the bacon wrapped prawns were too salty and the fish taco was average. The pumpkin cheesecake looked like someone’s Pinterest recipe went bad and wasn’t worth the $ 7 price tag by a long shot. Save your money and go down the road to another dining establishment.

Went in after a less than amazing experience but the manager made sure that my next experience was nothing less than perfect. The service was incredible and the steak I got was cooked to complete perfection. Would definitely reccomend to a friend.

Bacon wrapped scallops are amazing… not to mention peanut butter burger — truly amazing

So just finished eating… had garlic fries… they were delicious, but if you are not a fan of garlic you may want to pass…
We had the fondue which was much better than Reinlander’s…
Also we had the pulled pork sandwich which was amazing!!! (Garlic fries came with this for a little extra)
We also since we were getting our fat girl on order loaded tots which were also great!!! We are taking to go boxes lol.
For drinks we had South Pacific Breeze’s and they were tasty, but not much alcohol.
Billy and Keira sat us and waited on us and they were both amazing!!! We were disappointed that the Vancouver location had closed, but overall great job!!!

Amazing food! Jäger Steak and Prawns is amazing! Burgers are great too. Wish you guys still had the Chicken Taco Pizza with Avocado, it was Amazing, with your house made ranch, drizzled on it. We use to come back here just for that for that, from Bend Oregon. Nothing we have eaten in Central Oregon compares to your guys food. We miss u!

I love South Pacific. Always fast, friendly service and the food is amazing. I highly recommend the blackened chicken fettucini!

We went with a coupon on a Tue. at 8pm for a date night, and were seated promptly. The atmosphere was island eclectic and nice, and our server was attentive and funny. We were served promptly, and I can highly recommend almost every item we ordered, including the fondue, wedge salad, SXSW pizza, and steak with mushrooms.
The portions were generous, and the «personal» pizza really was – as the server said – «personal plus a friend.» The jagermeister sauce on the steak was an unusual but wonderful twist, and bites were shared. The only thing I’m less than 100% on was the bacon caramel sundae my fiancé and I shared. They were out of the peanut butter pie – our first choice – so we decided to be adventurous. It would have been an excellent waffle topping for breakfast, but I wouldn’t do it again for dessert.

We was here for dinner and I liked that place…
First of our waitress was extremely friendly and funny…
They have happy hour all day so we took some appetizer from the happy hour menu and I was really impressed about the cheese fondue…
I had the seafood fettuccine and it was reeeeaaaalllyyyy good…
Everything was good and I would come back…

Great pizza and sandwiches. This place is a must try in battleground. Wish they still had the one in vancouver.

Review in a nutshell: The staff is friendly, the food is excellent, and I like the atmosphere.
To expand on that a little, I’m addicted to their pizzas. The burgers are great! The beer is cheap, but the pizza. Holy crap. I especially enjoy the South P or SxSW.
Excellent portion sizes for the price.

Love this place. Great menu with lots of choices. The quality of the food is very good, and we love the margarita’s. It’s turned out to be our go-​to when we are in Battleground.

Great dinner and drinks! My favorites Are the pizza and the seafood pasta! We will be going back for sure!

One of the better restaurants in Battle Ground for sure. I love their steak and blue cheese salad and the bandanas foster is great– when the right cook is making it. Most of the time their food is on point, but a few times we have gone there (seems like Sundays) and the food has been not good at all. If their consistency between cooks was better I would give another star.

I love the happy hour menu here just ordered some fish tacos, kalamari and chicken strips for the kiddo service was amazing, the special– cocktail was unexpectedly perfect. Not sure who the amazing bartender was excellent server was Liz… I don’t rave about a place unless I love the food service and price… But this place brought their A game with food service and price, will definitely return again and recommend to my friends!

Great food, great happy hour. Drinks are yummy. Service is great. Liz suggested the garlic mushroom soup, so good!!! The price is right! Fun times with friends and family!

Battle Ground Washington is one of those places people try to escape … instead of visit … so, having a restaurant and bar with a South Pacific theme to get away for a couple hours on Main Street makes total sense … especially with Happy Hour all day long. Drink your sorrows away …
The biggest detour from our happy excursion was that the bar was understaffed. It took 22 minutes to get a beer and 46 minutes before food arrived. Don’t they understand I’m in need of libation liberation … stat! Luckily, the bartender was a total charmer, but I would of loved her more if she wasn’t so busy serving the packed bar and making drinks for the entire restaurant by herself.
The all-​day Happy Hour Beer was Fire Rock and the Cocktail was a Blueberi Kazi. I had one of each and then stuck with the beer for the rest of our liquid tour from reality. Along the way, Olivia Z. and me split the following pub grub.
* Fondue with Zenner’s Spicy Italian Sausage ($ 6.95)
How can I resist anything that touts six different Cheese, Chipotle Ale, and Chipotle Peppers? Well, I can’t even though the thick cheese didn’t turn out be spicy at all. The Focaccia Bread as ok. The Sausage was better. Eat quickly because it cools off fast. (4 stars)
* Garlic Fries ($ 3.95)
The bowl of semi-​warm French Fries tossed with Garlic Butter, Garlic, Scallions, and shaved Cheese sounded a lot more yummy on the menu than it actually tasted. I doubt I’d get the fries again. (2 stars)
* Blue Wedge Salad ($ 5.95)
It’s an Iceberg Wedge Salad topped with Blue Cheese Crumbles, Egg, Bacon, and Tomato with Blue Cheese Dressing. No need to over think this. It’s simple. You want it. (4 stars)
* Steamer Clams ($ 11.50)
The light Black Butter Broth with Bacon, Tomato, and Green Onions should of had more flavor than it did. Both of us were a little underwhelmed with the bowl of clams. (3 stars)
* The South P Pizza ($ 9.95)
Plus one star for originality and the creamy Garlic Sriracha Sauce. The mix of Chicken, Bacon, Pineapple, and Cilantro with Chipotle Sauce served as a good reminder that we weren’t in Battle Ground anymore. (4 stars)
The food was ok. The drinks were drinks. We escaped Battle Ground for a couple hours to the South Pacific. If management steps up to staff more servers and bartenders during busy periods, we’ll become regulars for happy hour trips in the future.
