9North in Umatilla worked especially well for our group because the menu had enough range to keep everyone happy: mozzarella, burgers, chicken sandwiches, pasta, kids’ meals, and cold beer.
Quick Take
The Beer Cheese Smash Burger, Crispy Chicken Sandwich, Cajun Chicken Pasta, and Grand Mozzarella gave our table plenty of variety. This was a strong family-and-friends dinner stop for us.
The Grand Mozzarella
We started with The Grand Mozzarella, which delivered the crisp exterior and melted cheese we wanted from a shareable appetizer.
Burgers and Chicken
The Beer Cheese Smash Burger was rich and satisfying even after we customized it without onions or jalapeños. The Crispy Chicken Sandwich came with plenty of crunch and paired well with tater tots and hot garlic sauce.
Pasta and Kids’ Meal
The Cajun Chicken Pasta gave the table a creamy, slightly spicy option, while the kids’ smash burger was simple and well executed. That range made the restaurant especially easy for a mixed group.
Bottom Line
9North handled a table with different tastes well. Between the broad menu, customization, attentive service, and cold Michelob Ultra drafts, we left full and happy.
