The Cazadero Steakhouse

Ordered fish and chips and it was... puffy? So overbattered. Like you wrapped cod in a non-sweet pancake or an elephant ear. The outside was golden and crunchy, but the inside of the coating was underdone and doughy. I'm still mad.

And, yeah, the view of the river is gorgeous, but the place 's ambience doesn't warrant the pretentious menu and ridiculous prices. Truffle fries? An $89 chateaubriand (yes, really!?). And yet I can hear the Allman Brothers and video poker machines from the bar? And their $5 side salad is diced iceberg mix with croutons and sunflower seeds?

Figure out if you're a small-town "good eats" joint (and then charge like it) or if you're an upscale steakhouse (and then decorate like it). Until then, I'll be avoiding this place.

We both had versions of the Elk burger.

Julie had a build your own version so she could have it without bacon and ham which turns her stomach. My Elk burger I had with no cheese. We didn't know our order of onion rings would be sprinkled with cheese. I shook off what I could. They were delicious, we both enjoyed them.

I forgot to ask for my garden salad without cheese which I picked cheese out what I could. I had to eat my thin sliced bacon and ham before I could fit the burger in my mouth since thick burger with egg on top, over hard with it's unique pretzel bun.

Our caution didn't pay off as Julie could taste some pork on elk burger which we should have explained to our server all our sensitivities. I am sure they could have helped us avoid our discomforts as Julie had to take a remedy on our way home from Estacada to Salem to reduce her...

the caz is the spot food is great service is good and the beer is cold.

The nachos are super super good

Great food. Great service. Highly recommend 👏

Very Good place to eat, great Atmosphere & Service. Double check your Reservations with Cazadero. Sometimes the Reservations does not get relayed to the next shift.

My wife and I visited around 2pm on a Saturday for a late lunch. Very loud country music in the bar so we went to the "lounge". We were alone with 4-5 tables and waited a good while until someone brought us menus and asked what we wanted to drink. Must've been a slow day because our server didn't show up for 10-15 minutes. Once our orders were placed, the food was brought out in short order. Wife did not like the doughy batter on her fish and chips and my grilled Reuben was a bit greasier than I like, but had pastrami vs corned beef and was pretty good.
Definitely not an upscale restaurant, but we didn't expect to find one in Estacada anyway.

Great food, great service & good bloody Mary's.
