McMenamins Edgefield Reviews

Refreshing and very intriguing with the various murals and the detail that went into all the art throughout the grounds

Whether it s The Blackberry Ballroom or The Administration House for your wedding day the staff takes professional care of your needs. I ve witnessed it on 3 weddings.

I come back here almost every year. Accommodations are good. Restaurants are good. Staff is friendly. Events are great!

An excellent place to hold a gathering or event. Many different places to do things as the campus is just that, a campus. The buildings can be a bit labyrinthine but they are very fun to explore and get lost in. There is art all over literally everything and sometimes you stumble into a bar or restaurant that has it's own charm and character. The campus is just beautiful inside and out and there's a whole lot to do.

Delicious food and a great spot to visit. Be sure to check out the glass blowing exhibit and grab a beer.

Definitely a must-see place. The restaurants have great food. If you're a Beer Drinker you'll love it here same with wine. And if you like little Executive 9-hole Golf Course definitely definitely make a reservation. Soaking pools are good hotel if you want to stay. Also great concert venue

Very unique, very classic and it's like its own little town!

Great place to have dinners, drinks, play golf, listen to a concert, or stay the night. Edgefield is definitely a Portland experience to behold

Went for a wedding. The atmosphere at McMenamins was awesome, and the foliage made for very pleasant scenery. Bars were very chic.

Busy on a Friday night, allot ppl! We hung out in the pool hall till closing time. Then we head out to explore. We found hot burning fire pits to keep us warm. It was a nice night.

LODGING: Nice rooms in a variety of buildings with comfortable bedding and adequate towel & robe thicknesses. Online reservation system shows pics and prices & bed sizes. There's also Women's & Men's hostel-type lodging (bunk-beds) for single travelers on a budget for almost $40 after taxes (at least as of September 2018). Only a few rooms offer their own toilet inside the room, otherwise expect communal bathroom areas, but no worries about cleanliness or a wait.

If you don't like hot weather and you love your air conditioning, then you do not want to stay in the hotel rooms during the summer heat, because they only offer you box fans and cold drinks to ward off the heat. However, many of the public areas (restaurants & theatre, for example) have air conditioning.

FOOD: 3-4 different restaurants on site. Black Rabbit restaurant for upscale dining & the attached Black Rabbit Bar for immediate seating without hostess needed and lighter menu (bring your WiFi enabled device!) And the Power Station pub for basic bar food (mostly salads, burgers, deep fried), which, incidentally, has a small low-cost movie theatre you can eat & drink in while you watch! There is also Lucky's pizza bar in basement of main lodge-house. I've never had it, but I hear it's good but a bit expensive.

If you lodge here, you have the option to get your breakfast order brought to your room (limited menu options, but at least each room has table & chairs and drink glasses, some have couches with coffee tables too if you're in a big enough room.) Though breakfast is less money and there are a lot more options for breakfast foods in the Black Rabbit restaurant in main lodge if you go there and sit down. I highly recommend the black rabbit restaurant if you like quality food and wines!1

If you like coffee, bring your Thermos!They roast their own coffee; it is wonderfully flavorful and is so low in acidity that I can drink it black, rather than dump creamer into the bottom 20% of the cup first. They sell it in their gift shop too if you want to take some home.

Locally grown and many onsite grown herbs, fruits and vegetables, in house cooked buns and breads at all restaurants on site.

ALCOHOL & ENTERTAINMENT: Several bars and places to drink on campus with varying hours and themes, including a couple tiny ones you can smoke cigars in (The red shed & their distillery). You'll find maps scattered throughout the lobbies to help find all the different nooks and crannies, bars, shops, distillery, banquet rooms.

There's a billiards room with 2 shuffle boards, and 2 or 3 regulation sized tables (plus maybe 1 snooker table?) With beads in a wire above to keep score, (like at the Olympic Club McMenamins location in Centralia Washington.)

Almost every time I come to the McMenamins Edgefield campus I find people that have come to stay there from all over the world and they sound like they really enjoy their stay and the experience.

There are also several free concerts on the lawn in summer, as well as concerts that are also sold out concerts with well-known musicians throughout the year here. There is a 3 par golf course that is quite challenging and fun. I think it is 18 holes.

So much more here that I'm sure I've not included, despite the extreme length of this review. (Like the winery with live music every week, the day spa & salon and the warm soaking pool!?) You just have to come and check it out!

If I could give it four and a half Stars I would but only because some of the rooms, drinks, activities, restaurant foods, and wine prices keep going up.

Edgefield is amazing for the price. The soaking pools are a must, and walking around the gardens the morning after was lovely, too. The Grill was a trifle dull for teetotallers like my husband and I, but the Black Rabbit has a lovely breakfast menu and is considerate of those with food sensitivities. All around good service at a good price. I've recommended the Edgefield to visiting family and friends. There's even public transit right outside! Love it.

McMenamins is always a destination for out of towners. I rarely made trips out before they added the passport though. It was great timing on their part as service was getting bad, and the food was rarely changed. I can say, my experiences as of late have been far improved.

Came here for a friend's bachelorette party. The food was the usual McMenamins fare (which is good pub food), and we loved Ruby's Spa! The soaking pool was awesome and spa services were great. There are so many fun little gardens to explore around the grounds! The concerts are always fun too.

What a great place to grab a pint and catch a concert. So many little bars hidden everywhere!

Great hotel, friendly staff but no lawn games allowed. Also communal bathrooms are not convenient.

We had dinner at the Black Rabbit. Service was fantastic, the restuarant was very nice.

Great hotel, lots of charm and history. I booked for 4 nights but really started to miss my normal amenities after the second night, I also got really annoyed that everytime I went to my room, the room key didn't work. I ended up at a large known hotel on my last night in town. I needed soft pillows and in room shower at that point. The ribeye at the black rabbit restaurant was amazing and ciders were also great. Fun place to stay short term.

Great place. So many choices in atmosphere and good food and drinks. Great place to hang out with friends or go out for a date night.

Over an hour wait for a table on a Tuesday night, otherwise food and drinks were good

Mcmenamins Edgefield is my newest favorite place and I plan to return often. It's not only beautiful, but full of all the things you can't help, but love. History, art, gardens, golf, awesome events and concerts.
The rooms are gorgeous and spacious and you can't beat the service.
It's a large space that gives you the relaxed quiet feeling of peaceful intimacy with all the little pubs and restaurants.

Great drinks and great service from servers and new years staff.

Yummy. Great staff. Beautiful old building. High prices. Great Rose ale.

My favorite Mcmenamins location!! Stay here if you can, their soaking pool is great!! Come for a show in the summer time!

Always like the vibe of this place. enjoyed staying here as well. Some colleagues were not as fond since deemed it "too institutional... maybe gave them flashbacks to darker time periods for them??? ;-) I like the range of food, crafts, beer, cider and coolness.

Beautiful venue for concerts, great food (although expensive), and gorgeous hotel and grounds

This is one of my favorite McMenamins properties. It's very popular, so sometimes it's hard tongind parking.

They have a whole complex here. You can walk around, find the restaurant that interests you. The grounds are beautiful.

There are several restaurants, a movie theater, and tasting rooms. The hotel is so amazing as well.

The food is great, and while it is a little on the expensive side, they give you pretty big portions.

Rich in atmosphere, tasty food, lovely grounds. Always a bit spendy and the service is typically slow, but you go for the location and ambiance. Just chill and drink and catch a movie.

Excellent place for exploring a fun Grateful Dead inspired mega property. 8 bars, 2 Restaurants, a par 3 golf course, and a theatre make it so you can stay and play.

Food and atmosphere seem kind of nice. However, the scene seems a little too Portland for me.

The place is absolutely gorgeous. Ruby's spa, the black rabbit restaurant, the grounds awesome. The brewery is great. The wine cellar was really cool.

Super cool place worth the visit if you're remotely nearby. You won't have trouble finding a beer wherever you go on property, great place.

Noisy. Food was not as good as it used to be. $50. for 3 burgers and one beer.

Went there for a Primus concert and was delighted with the general venue and how well run everything was

The waitress was excellent and the food was amazing!

I would have given it 5 stars but the place is just too touristy. The food was good the whiskey even better. The services were poor but if you found the right mixologist it made up for it. If you do go plan on visiting during the week when it's not so busy.

So much to do here. Great adult fun. Places for kids too. Tad expensive.

Had happy hour drinks and dinner at the Power Station with a group of 6. Service was fast, food was good. Birds were a little aggressive on the patio and part of our order was given to another table.

Fun, casual yet elegant, good service. Easy commute on Sundays.

So beautiful and such a great atmosphere. Outstanding!

Love all McMenamins!! Lots of fun things to do and love the Tiki Bar

Another win for McM's. There was a great bluegrass band playing a free show, their Off-the-Vine IPA was a nice change from my regular pint of Sunflower, and the Terminator chocolate cake disappeared before the plate hit the table. Thanks again guys!

Edgefield is by far my favorite place to hangout. Being one of the most unique of the many McMenamins properties, there is amply territy to explore and plenty of places to grab a drink and food. This is absolutely a place to check out and spend a day.

Such a great venue! Lots to do, each room leads you to a new adventure!

This is a beautiful manor with a haunted history. If you're interested in ghost hunting, this is a place worth visiting if you're ever in Troutdale, Oregon.

Went to see a movie here. You can get to the theater early and order food from the restaurant mwnu at you theater seat. The service was good. The screen is smaller than most theaters, but so is the seating, so there were no bad seats. The chairs are comfortable. I would go again.

Excellent meal in an amazing building. Lunch was affordable for such a remarkable environment.

Went for lunch had a great time, good service, good drinks, food was just OK

Magical, amazing, fantastic. Plan enough time to explore the grounds!!

The Power Station has great food and drinks. Cajun tots are the best!

Excellent burger & chop salad. A bit spendy $33.00 total but fresh & delicious! Great service too, friendly, efficient staff. Beautiful grounds

We went for dinner but showed up early with to putz around the buildings and gift shop. The food was phenomenal (and was as delicious as it was expensive!). Service seemed stressed, but it was Christmas so that makes sense. If you like bacon or barbecue, I highly recommend the pork chop. Quite a bit of food and it was literally the best pork I've ever had.

I visited Ruby spa and it was amazing. The staff was friendly and attentive. After the spa I had food and drinks which were delicious.

The grounds are amazing. This is both a hotel, restaurant, bar, winery, cigar bar, etc... It is a great destination get away that should be experienced over multiple days. Enjoy your travels here.

Food was good, service was fast. Pretty standard McMenamins menu, nothing too special

A resort of its own kind and style. Brewery, winery, distillery, and restaurants definitely check it out!

Okay, let's just say that this place is amazing. Pool, hotel, many different themed bars, movie theater, golf, concerts, soooooo many good things.

Neat, really laid back. Very chill had a great time

I absolutely love this place. It's great for dates or to meet up with friends for drinks. There is a good variety of bars on the grounds and they are all unique and staffed with amazing people. I recommend this site and the Kennedy school in Portland. Cheers

Good food, but there was a bit of a wait to get it.

Fun place to take the family and walk around, learn a little about the history of the town and building.

This place is interesting. However, I was here on a very rainy night and it was a nightmare going from building to building in almost total darkness!

Fantastic location with lots of bars and eateries to choose from. Amazing atmosphere with great music, free parking, food selection, and various outdoor bonfire areas.

They need to figure out how to handle parking for sold out shows better.
