I used to love this place but I came in and the older female bartender with colorful hair was the rudest person I've ever met! She was not only rude to my friends and I but I watched her berate other customers and ignore new people coming in while loudly complaining about her customers within all of our hearing! I would get fired immediately from my job if I ever spoke to customers the way she did, and then I overheard her telling people that she is the manager! Dear God say it isn't so! I will not be going back and am telling all of my friends and coworkers about how horrible she was!

$7.75 Chefs Sliders + chips. Kind of on the high side. BLTTA sandwich $12.00 you be the judge.

Grew up 2 blocks from Yorgo's and don't have any bad compliments to say. My mainstays are just a regular hamburger or the Out and In burger...

So, I guess it's not Yorgo's any more.
I was desperately trying to find a place to watch a World Series game. My plan was to head, um, somewhere else, but this place was close to my bus transfer and my fellow Cubs fans had flaked that day. I decided to check it out and not only did they have the game on, WITH sound, but there were a whole lot of other Cubs fans in the place.
However, it's not a sports bar. At least, it's not a bar to watch popular sports at. The first game I watched here was not super well attended and the two bartenders were having trouble keeping up. The second and third games were progressively busier and the lines at the bar got progressively longer. The kitchen spent a lot of time walking around trying to find where orders belonged, and getting pretty frustrated at it. Each visit had a different crew, so it's gotta be a systemic thing.
There's a pool table and a patio with another TV in the back with a gravel deck and a porch in front. The back had heaters, I think the front did, too. Like I said the kitchen will run out orders and if the bartenders aren't too busy there's table service.
Unfortunately they have a "zero tolerance policy". It's got some Portland bubble ideological stuff in it, but what really pissed me off was the second item that says that "Any physical contact - push, scuffle, fight" will result in both customers being ejected. 86'd in fact. So according to the house's written policy that "will be supported by all employees" if someone attacks you, you'll both get chucked into the street so you can continue being assaulted without inconveniencing the bar staff. This isn't tucked away in some corner so the bar's lawyers can talk about it, it's right by the door and the bar in a bright yellow framed sign.
The bar staff here seem to be well intentioned, I've been here before fairly recently when it wasn't that busy (I recall it one of the GOP debates was on, as was the Miss Hooters pageant. I couldn't bring myself to watch either) and the guy working that day was super nice. On my third WS trip one of the bartenders came out to apologize for some b.s. that happened to a tablemate. They hand out comment cards with the check. But that policy, like the service and a lot of things here (are you supposed to criticize the server you hand the card back to?) just don't seem thought out that well. None of it makes me want to come back.
