Bull Mountain Bar & Grill

This place is my new favorite spot in Tigard! I recently discovered the outdoor patio that they put in late last summer. How I missed it is beyond me since I take my dog to daycare in the same complex! Because of this, I now have a place close to home to bring my dog, enjoy a cocktail or beer and have great pub food! Mark, the owner, and his staff are VERY dog friendly!
Bull Mtn. Bar & Grill has the best pub food I’ve had on the west side! Hands down far better than ANY McMenamins or other brew pubs in the area. The burgers and fantastic! They come out of the kitchen medium-​rare unless indicated differently. The pesto tots are super! Same goes for the onion rings! The house made crab cakes that I have on the delicious Caesar salad were great! Tina makes a stellar margarita!
I have been in and out of the hospitality business my entire life and I have to say the service is the best I’ve had on the west side as well! You don’t usually get this type of service from the get-​go in a pub/​sports bar. Mark and Tina truly love what they do and it shows! I’m a new huge fan! Thanks guys!

Understaffed. Plain and simple. We shouldn’t have to go to the bar to get drinks. Also, serving food 5+ minutes apart? Not ok.
No blame on the staff on hand, they’re treading water as best they can. This is 100% fault of ownership/​management.
Back to Tapphoria we go.

Great food, great service. Had the «Blackbird» turkey sandwich with Cured Onions. Fantastic. We got the fries «pesto» style, they were great. This place is hard to find just driving by as the sign is hard to see, but it would definitely be worth seeking out. Great lunch spot!

Thanks Sheena for everything, even sick you are a rock star!!! That’s why I come back. You made me feel like family from the start of coming in here.

This place is awesome. It has great food and a laid back atmosphere. We stumbled across it one day looking for lunch and were pleasantly surprised how good the food was. The owner is very friendly and goes out of his way to take care of his guests. My business partners and I go at least once a week now. Try the Blackbird sandwich, it’s amazing

The ABSOLUTE best food in Tigard, hands down. I know that’s a pretty bold claim, but you need to try it to believe it. I was shocked! Ok, so first off, there is no sign letting you know it’s Bull Mountain Bar, it’s amazing this place is still in business! It was only because a friend recommended it that I ever came in, otherwise I most certainly would NOT have, especially based on décor and how difficult it is to find. I’ve eaten here 3 times this week! The burgers, Holy hell, they are phenomenal! «The Blackbird» sandwich ha avocado mayo, turkey, bacon, sourdough rye, hello! And last but certainly not least, «The Cowboy Quesadilla» oh lord is thing something special. They smoke their own pork for it. This thing is huge!!! Great rotating tap selection, the patio is amazing. This place is about to blow up, and/​or is currently doing so. You won’t regret the visit, seriously.

Sheena is the best! Made us feel so comfortable and at home, gave us fantastic service and showed us the best time. Foods great, service even better. Ask for Sheena.

Great service and great food. We’ll definitely be coming back!

We have been coming to Bull Mountain for almost three years now and love this place. The owner Mark and his staff, Jay, Tina, Shawn, Sheena and Michele all do an excellent job. Their food is always changing and has gotten better with the addition of Jay as the head chef. They have a good happy hour menu which they never had before and most any beer you want. They have pool tables and I forget how many big screens. So if you are ever in the area stop in and try it out. You will not be disappointed

Always a great atmosphere, and amazing food. The staff, and regulars are always inviting and fun, I can’t wait to go there next weekend

Been coming here for two years. I love the atmosphere and the food is very good. Mark the owner is super friendly guy and I’ve never seen a fight here. The music is at just the right volume and the beer selection pretty good. Btw get there a night Sheena is working. Fantastic bartender

Our family has been going to BMP for over 2 years now, and we love it. The staff and owner (Mark) are always engaging, friendly, and go out of their way to get to know you, thus giving this pub a «small town» feel. My husband swears when we walk thru the door, he hears «NORM!» in the background, because we’re asked if we want our «usual», and if not, they’re typically already in the process of making our drinks, by the time we sit down.
If you’re a sports fan, you will not be disappointed as the place is surrounded by eight TV’s; they have both Dish and Comcast, and print the list of games being broadcast daily.
The happy hour menu is top notch; GM/​Chef Jay has done a fantastic job of bringing an upper scale touch to the menu selections. My only suggestion would be to offer some of these amazing healthier options on the regular menu; they are just that good!
The Sunday brunch menu is one you would expect to find in a boutique hotel; everyone we’ve invited to join us for brunch, has raved about how fantastic their meals, Mimosas and Bloody Mary’s were.
Their regular menu offers options for everyone’s palette; even when we want to «tweak» something due to dietary restrictions, we’ve never had a complaint. If anything, Chef Jay knows when it’s me ordering, and will correct a ticket if it comes in wrong. That’s just how in tune they are with their patrons.
Every restaurant/​bar is a work in progress; I think they’re on the right track, and have the staff and combined experience, to make this place one of the Portland’s Best Restaurants by year end.

The beer and food is overpriced. Service is slow. Portions are not very big and the fish is greasy. I do not reccomend coming here unless you have a few hours for an 8 dollar pint.

UPDATED REVIEW:
As of three days ago, I got a message from a «Biff T.» of Beaverton, OR claiming to be an owner or a friend of the owner basically saying that I had an ulterior motive in my reviews. He was correct that I had wrote a bunch of reviews in a very small window. However, I am new to Unilocal and am simply catching up on my reviews (to the best of my recollection of the experience). In the reviews, I include the date/​time to the best of my knowledge, but as I said, I am catching up and some of these aren’t as current as the review itself.
Because of this, I am knocking my review down to ONE star. What kind of owner or «friend of the owner (s)» decides to message an individual customer by calling them a liar and then proceeds to block further communications?
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
Kind of a little bit of this and that. Think of it as a sports bar in someone’s house, I guess? Aesthetic-​wise, anyway. The food was so-​so, staff was friendly enough. I would go here again to meet a friend or something, but I would not go out of my way to come here.

Absolutely love this place! The food is phenomenal. Best burger in Portland, in my humble opinion. You can’t go wrong with a top sirloin burger — so much flavor. Jay really knows how to tempt the tastebuds.

Love the food, love the people, love beer! This bar is close to my work so it’s very convenient!

I have only eaten here once, but i was VERY impressed with and enjoyed the beef dip sandwich. Its made with prime rib beef! Yummmmm. And the soup was excellent as well. The talented Chef Jay really cares about making great food.
I went midday on a Sunday. A nice friendly crowd, and good service as well. I’m definitely going back. I think maybe I’ll try the Cubano sandwich or…

Eat the prime time it kicks ass
Great food
Great service
Always super friendly and consistently great food

Great number of rotating micro beers on tap including local. Service is friendly. The atmosphere is a bit blah. It’s a bit of a dive bar, but oddly too light and bright, yet cold and sparse. Some comfortable chairs, paint and new décor would help warm it up. It is very clean, which is a plus!
All that would easily be overlooked if the food prices matched the quality. Don’t get me wrong, the food is pretty good as far as pubs-​bars go, but it is substantially over priced. Breakfast, comes with hash browns which are never «browned» (on 4 occasions) and NO toast. $ 14 for average chicken fried steak, 2 eggs and the undercooked hash potatoes is a complete rip off when compared to other bars doing the same meal for $ 10 – 11 which includes toast. Burgers, entrees, salads, appetizers, we’ve tried them all and they were good, but $ 2 – 3 per item over other bars for the same meal.
Will I go back? If in the area, yes… but not going out of my way.

Took a couple of visits to warm up to this place. After realizing I am not going to be aggressively hit on by visiting here solo I let my guard down and had a chance to meet the regulars. All very friendly people and Mark who manages the bar is very engaged with all his customers that walk in. The rest of the staff is just as awesome with customer service. The food is pretty decent and they always look for improvements to add to their menu. The ambiance here is chill and relaxed. My first and favorite choice of bars to decompress at after a very long day at work. Cheers!

I live on bull mountain. When I moved to Tigard, I scouted a bit to what was good. This place us my own kind of Cheers. I can go here after work, and the food and service is always great, or I can go on a Saturday night at like 10 with a big group, and still have a great experience. Chef Jay makes great food. Curtis and Tammy are the bartenders that treat you like your good people. But they know their stuff too– from a bloody Mary in the afternoon, to a capt n coke at night, its always mixed well, and the right portion, and they both have their own way of talking to you like a real person. The owner comes in frequently, and I love that, cause he cares about his business. Its clean, fun, good food, good service, and a good mix of ages, regulars, and newbies. My fav in Tigard. Don’t miss the weekend brunch– its on point for flavor and price

I just came in here for some food and beers today. There were two other patrons sitting at the bar, nobody behind the bar. I sat down and looked around for a menu, none in sight. I saw a guy working in the kitchen but he had his back turned and didn’t see me. I figured eventually someone would come out and notice me sitting at the bar. Eventually a second guy came out from the kitchen after a few minutes but didn’t acknowledge me at all. He started filling ketchup bottles and going about his business as I continued to sit there. Then the phone rang, he answers it, then has a personal conversation for about 3 minutes whilst I’m still sitting there staring at the wall. After 7 minutes (I counted) of sitting at the bar with no acknowledgement at all I just stood up and left. How is this place in business?! The reviews they got aren’t all bad, that’s why I stopped in to check it out. I’ve never walked into a place and walked out after sitting down because of lack of attention. This is a first! I took my business down the street where I’m currently drinking a beer, enjoying some music, watching tv, and writing this review. Funny how that works.

I grew up in Tigard Abd have been going to this bar for years when it was all different places. The owners are very nice and the food is great. I get the buffalo chicken sandwich and it is one of the best I have had.

Awesome place and staff that also happens to have great beer selection and good food.

Good neighborhood sports bar! Pub burger, prime rib dip, Sunday breakfast & flat iron steak salad are my favs!

This place has always had good service, and like another reviewer stated there are very few sports bar-​type options in the area where minors are allowed. And even at a place like Blitz, kids can eat there but the games are off-​limits. At least here I can teach my 8 year old to play pool.
The service is good– I haven’t been there in a while but we popped in Sunday for a burger and beer. The bartender took good care of us.
I’d give the place a 4 star rating if the food had been even marginally better. I feel like when this place first opened the grub was better– I don’t know, it just wasn’t very impressive this go round.
So, overall a fine place to watch the game, throw back a few beers or play pool, but the food quality could be stepped up a bit.

We LOVE Bull Mountain Bar & Grill! Mark, the owner is super friendly and knows us by name. We can take our kids in with us (during posted hours, of course), have a beer or cocktail, and watch football and eat lunch/​dinner. There is a good selection of beer on tap, and the food is pretty delish too. See you soon Mark and company!

The service has been prompt and friendly. I took my kids in to play pool as very few sports bars allow minors. We ate some grub and the staff was on top of everything.
Considering my general appearance not being over 40 and I work for a living unlike so many in the area. I really enjoyed being treated like a customer they want to keep.

I suppose if you count Buck Hunter, Pinball and Golden Tee as a star each you could go 3. It’s clean, large, airy. Ok that’s all the positives I have.
The fact that it is on a pretty dismal section of 99 and in a center with a bunch of Automotive places really says it all.
Nothing further to report.

Awesome customer service! The team goes over and beyond to make sure you are happy! Bonus, you can bring your children into the restaurant section and still have a couple of drinks. Plus it’s right down the street from our home!
We need as a community to support our local businesses. This helps increase property value and promotes their business as well.

My partner and I were out riding our motorcycles and decided to stop in and see what’s up at this new restaurant in our town of Tigard, where there isn’t too much of a restaurant selection. We are always hopeful when a new restaurant opens!
It is quite obvious that Bull Mountain Bar & Grill is a sports bar with all the tvs, beer, lack of ambiance, wood tones, carpet, and scattered sports banners given to them by the Budweiser rep. We sat at the bar, with an open mind. The crowd is upper-​middle class Baby Boomers… lots of Chardonnay was flowing! A great crowd of people! This is what was puzzling to me… after my meal, I decided that there is just NO other place for these people to gather… the other sports bars in Tigard are further into Tigard; Bull Mountain is very near its’ namesake.
We were greeted virtually immediately but did not get our water until about 10 minutes later… our meal was served about 30 minutes after we arrived! There was no music playing nor was the volume up on any of the tvs! So we were all dining with only the sound of people talking. People seemed to be having a good time and a lot of people knew each other… that was nice to see.
The food, and I am being kind, was horrible. I had the turkey burger. It arrived cold – the «melted» cheese had re-​hardened, the burger had NO mustard or sauce on it, nor was I offered any type of spread to enhance the meat! The shredded lettuce kept falling OUT of the bun… it was a boring meal. Typically sports bars are known for their delicious ham/​chicken burgers… but this one was so dry, cold, boring, I wanted to cry.
The staff were extremely disorganized and seemed to have NO system of connecting the tab to the customer, when it came time to pay! There was not a designated bar tender… everyone on their staff was making drinks and bussing tables, taking orders, and then serving up the cold food! To me, it felt like a frat party! The quality of the drinks and food were below average.
I love sports bars… Helvetia Tavern, Max’s Fanno Creek Brew Pub, Stanich’s, etc… but Bull Mountain Bar and Grill is one I will never return to. Sorry, but you have been in business long enough now (at least 4 months) to have it running smoothly and more professionally!

We’re one of those annoying Portland-​area couples who insist on taking their kids everywhere. I mean, everywhere. We also love good beer and are picky foodies, so while we like trying pretty much every new place under the sun, there are only a few spots we regularly visit, especially living in outer SW Portland as we have for the past few years.
Recently we were thrilled to learn about Bull Mountain Bar & Grill, which opened at the start of this year and is located off 99W in Tigard. The place is a decent size, with large flat screen TVs adorning two walls, a decent beer list, GREAT service, and what I think is a fantastic food menu. When I go to a bar & grill, I want good pub food, not an itty bitty salad for $ 12, thanksmuch. Don’t get me wrong, I love itty bitty salads, but I’d rather make them at home or get those when I’m drinking wine or cocktails. With solid beer, I want solid food, and everything we ordered here was delicious.
My husband ordered the Cowboy Quesadilla, which was awesome. The quesadilla consisted of chicken, bacon, onion rings (oh yeah), jalapenos, cheese, (did I mention bacon?!) served with tasty salsa. YUM. I ordered the fish & chips and was super happy with the HUGE three filets I was served, along with fries, tartar sauce and shredded lettuce. I was happy that this place had a dedicated kids menu. We got the kids chicken tenders, but they also offer grilled cheese, cheeseburgers, cheese quesadillas and other kid versions of pub food.
The owner was super friendly. Can’t say enough nice things about him. Sometimes even in supposedly kid-​friendly places, the management or staff don’t know how to work with kids around, and in this place we totally felt comfortable with the kids. He made our kids feel welcome, which made me smile.
Kids are welcome before 9pm, so after that I can see this place being a fun bar to hang out with friends when we can get a sitter. We’ll definitely be back here!

The only place in town that I have found Firestone Walker on tap! Absolutely a wonderful beer.
Great place, friendly staff. Mark the owner is great. Seems to be there every other time I stop in.
Great bar area but is family friendly. I bring my 3 year old daughter in there to get food with me. The menu will expand eventually but has good pub food. While there is not a section for kids, they are able to come in and sit with you at the tables.
Great TV selection for watching sports or whatever is on. Games in the back part for playing around.
Great Honey pulled pork special sandwich. Bull Burger is good too. My daughter likes the kids chicken strips.
