I love Surf'n Turf... I'm excited about this place. How come you guys don't have anything about the 50 Plates Happy Hour and the "secret phrase"?

I love this place and the variety of flavors. Everything I've eaten has been excellent and very affordable.

Yes I agree that Patrick A Coleman got it wrong, this time. I mean a man can only try so many plates of food from a restaurant before his article becomes due.

Hmm I wonder if food critics have nicknames and if Master Patrick doesn't then I will give him one right here right now. From now on I name thee Sir PAC-Man, for thy valantry, and for they ability to eat your food quickly like that other yellow rounded fellow, In Nominies et cetera et cetera et cetera

This place has probably the best bang for the buck in town. If you want to be blown away, try the Ginger Sake Mussels for happy hour for a cool $5.00 It must have been $1.00 a pound because I got about 5 pounds of fresh, delicious mussels.

One of my favorite places in all of Portland. Try it!

hey Kip give it up already... we all know you can not finance a meal out even in a place you call a dive... so put on your red cowboy boots and get in line at the food bank.

Kip sound like the perfect place for you and your wife to frequent. You can both be a loud, nasty and borish. You can even wear your idiotic red boots and fit right in!

But then they might serve food that is to exotic for your pedestrian palate as I see you have never enjoyed a meal in any of your comments. To risky! So maybe you can just cook up some mac and cheese pick up a bbq chicken some luck beer and kool aide for the kids at safe way, (maybe get some doughnuts too) and enjoy a nice "American" meal at home.
