Reviews for Boda's Kitchen in Hood River, OR
Fantastic lunch on a hot summer day. Beet salad + northwest salad together are great. Tomato and peach salad is good, too. And... grab some fried chicken! Seasonal lemonade (peach lemonade) hit the spot. Nice folks and good service. Read more
Phenomenal local place for lunch/dinner foods or snacks and treats. The quality and recipes used in their meals and dishes makes... it feel like homemade, but sometimes better. The memories it inspires of meals with loved ones at home or the new moments itcreates by adding unique flare to the special occasion are all worthy reasons to rate this as one of the best in The Hood.

Ordered lunch with a group of 5. The lady taking the my order asked me to repeat my sandwich order three times. I finally said,... 'The Cubano sandwich, five items down on the hot sandwich menu..' Oh, gotcha (or something like that), came the response. To mysurprise, my sandwich never came out. When I approached the register to ask about the sandwich, I had to stand in line and waitfor my new turn in the cue because the vendor and the other two employees are all adept at not making eye contact. I was able toask the young lady delivering orders to tables about my sandwich. She barely looked at me. She gave me no clue as to what, ifanything, she may do to follow-up with me. She looked at a couple empty counters and then looked in the register when it wasfree and determined that a Cubano was not on 'my' ticket. (They never offered a receipt upon purchase, so I didn't know the ladydidn't 'get' my order. Although they did make me feel like they thought I was attempting to game them for a free sandwich. I wasnot. I would have been happy to order and pay for another sandwich. I did just spend over $90 on lunch for 5 (I thought)including a 20% tip.The sum total of their solution to this situation was, 'There is no Cubano on your ticket.') There wereother problems with this experience. It was hot in their deli. Lots of groups of two taking up 6 person tables. (This vendorseems particularly disinterested in the customer experience after the point of sale.) Service is slow. Orders trickle out one ata time. I initiated a dispute for the amount I paid in tip. I have learned from this experience not to tip prior to completionof service. Of course, I was not beyond reproach in this situation. I could have insisted on a receipt at the point of sale andreviewed it meticulously and avoided the problem entirely. By the time I recognized that I had a problem and had the attentionof staff I was frustrated and ready for a confrontation and I was not nice about expressing my Read more
Very friendly staff, and tasty sandwiches. Bread was fresh and the vegetables were crisp and plentiful on our veggie... sandwiches. Potato salad was as garlicky as the name implied. Read more
Ordered online for takeaway without a problem. Food was ready when I arrived. ???? Rotisserie chicken with a side of tomato,... peach, and cucumber salad plus a bottle of Bieler Family Pinot Grigio to pair. Hazelnut apricot bar for dessert. Read more
When you are nowhere near a familiar place and you want something wholesome and nourishing, you can count on this place to... deliver. Excuse the flies in the summer, and the limited outdoor seating. But make sure you get in here for a quality mealwith no additives or preservatives. They really put love in their food, I could taste it. I was on a tour of the region when Istopped in here for lunch and some wine. I had the Salad Trio Plate. My friend got the gourmet grilled cheese. Nothingsynthetic touched my palate. I brought home some hazelnut shortbread and a few bottles of the hot sauce they have there forretail sale too. Check this joint out, maybe consider their catering business too. Really the place to be. Walked awayfeeling like I supported a great business but also that my body was thankful for giving it nourishment....and vino! Read more
Very delicious artisan crafted food. This place serves quality food made with excellent ingredients. It is not cheap in terms of... a typical lunch but the food is nothing typical either. For those not sure of what to eat in Hood River for lunch this place isdifficult to beat. Only downside, bathroom is located around the building so you've got to go outside to get to it (but that'spretty typical for some of the Hood River buildings). Read more
