Fort George Brewery

During our visit to the Pacific Northwest this past summer a stop in Astoria, Oregon was at the top of our 16-year-old daughter’s list. She was determined to visit The Goonies house and see The Goonies exhibit at the Oregon Film Museum.  So we set off north from Newport to Astoria. Along the way, we played in the sand, stopped for a million photo ops and worked up quite the appetite. 😉

Fort George Brewery

As we were driving we were talking about what kind of food we wanted for lunch. Our visit in Newport was filled with delicious Clam Chowder (Read more on that here), sweet treats and even BBQ. One thing we hadn’t had was a really good burger. In addition to a good burger, we were all ready for some roughage 😋- time for a salad!

Fort George Brewery

We drove into town and were quick to find a parking spot on the main drag (Commerical Street). There we set off for lunch – something with a great burger and salad.

Fort George Brewery

As we headed up the hill we spotted the beautiful old building that hosts the Fort George Brewery + Public House. After a quick Yelp search, we knew we had found it – the perfect spot for lunch.

Fort George BreweryI started my meal off with their garden salad which is described as, “Local Kingfisher Farms organic greens, cherry tomatoes, shaved carrots, English cucumber, croutons with choice of dressing”. I mean like nummmmm, makes my mouth water just typing it! 😍

Fort George BreweryAdreena went after their Ceasar Salad, “Organic romaine, house-made Caesar dressing, parmesan, croutons, lemon wedge”. So fresh and crisp – she was obsessed!

For the main course, Adreena and I shared their Fort Burger, “1/3 LB. Painted Hills Oregon beef” served with a side of organic house cut fries and a pickle. This burger was flavorful and juicy – just what the doctor ordered!

Fort George Brewery

Aaron opted for the Beer Cheese Burger, “Aged Tillamook cheddar sauce, frizzled onions, Applewood bacon” served with a side salad. He was highly satisfied with his choice.

We all left the table with full bellies and happy hearts. The Public House was beautifully designed with small touches of contemporary style mixed with the natural state of the building. It provided a cozy, comfortable environment that was very enjoyable.

Of course, we couldn’t visit a brewery without trying some of the local selection! 🍻 To go with our lunch I selected a cider and Aaron went for the Vortex IPA. Both were ice cold and delicious! I can’t wait to try more Fort George options, their beer list is a mile long! 

Have you made it to Astoria or tried Fort George? I highly recommend it if you ever get the opportunity!

Warm & Toasty – Lunch at Potbelly’s

It’s Saturday, Aaron is at work — what else is there to do but a ‘quick’ Target run … which everyone knows is a mythical creature 😉.  Adreena and I spent most of the morning working up an appetite shopping the clearance areas of the store. After waaay overspending, per usual 🤑 we decided it was time for lunch. This time we wanted to try something different for lunch. Something we hadn’t had in a while – we decided on lunch at Potbelly Sandwich Shop.

Potbelly is known for their classic subs served warm and toasty which was perfect for this overcast day.

Generally speaking I am not a toasted sub fan, but much to my surprise I LOVED my sandwich! I opted for the “Skinny T-K-Y” a thinly sliced turkey sandwich served with Swiss cheese, lettuce and tomato. I opted to add pickle to my sandwich, ’cause lets be serious – what’s a turkey sandwich without them?!🤷🏻 Adreena had the “Grilled Chicken and Cheddar”, hand carved chicken served with melty cheddar cheese, lettuce and pickles.

Potbelly serves their sandwiches with Zapp’s Chips – which my family absolutely loves! Some of our favorites are Hotter ‘N Hot Jalapeno, Salt & Vinegar and the classic Mesquite Bar-B-Que. Always winners!

The cozy rustic decor made for a comfortable place to enjoy lunch with the kiddo. On the way out the door I noticed they have a community bulletin board. These boards are so fun to read through – community events, volunteer opportunities and business cards of local vendors. Such a wonderful touch to add to the already hometown feel of the shop.

Adreena petitioned for one of their huge house made Chocolate Brownie Cookies but neither of us had room. Next time we will start with the cookie.

Have y’all ever tried Potbelly?

How was your experience?
