Holzhauser's Grill - Portland

An Oasis when your out on the Missouri River. Nice Folks, Clean Environment, Great Food!!!

I'm here twice now, both paintings with bigger groups of 20 people. the staff is friendly, the beer is cold, and eating is hot and really good. one of my favorite places to enjoy good time with good friends.

Great little place right off the Katy Trail!! Great food and super friendly service!

First off, a disclaimer — I didn’t actually eat here, so I cannot offer an opinion about the food. What I can attest to is my experience as a Katy trail rider rolling into the Portland trailhead after 40 miles on a 90 degree day with empty water bottles and finding zero water at the trailhead. I was hot, sweaty, thirsty, and exhausted. It had been at least 20 miles since I’d had anything cold to drink, five miles since I finished drinking the warm water in my bottles, and I still had 10 miles to go for the day.That’s when I noticed the Open sign just at the top of a small hill and decided to see if I could get water and hopefully some ice.This little bar and grill ended up being an oasis on a terribly hot day. I didn’t even have to ask and the bartender was grabbing my water bottles and filling them with ice and water. Sitting in the A/C sipping an icy cold soda started perking me back up, and I struck up a conversation with one of the regulars. At some point, I noticed an ice cream freezer and decided to have an ice cream sandwich (my bicycle is powered by ice cream). When I was sufficiently revived and ready to hit the trail for the remaining 10 miles, I tried to settle my tab only to learn both my drink and my ice cream had been covered. I know it was a small thing, but the gesture really touched my heart. You just never know what nice people you will meet.

Very friendly to locals and Katy trail riders alike. Best onion rings I’ve had in years!
