12 Best American Restaurants near Portland

“We stopped in today to try out Wagon Wheel while on the way home from Utica. We were seated quickly and our waitress, Danielle, was very kind and helpful. The restaurant was very clean and all the staff were very kind. We got the ribeye with garlic mashed potatoes and a salad from the salad bar as well as a club sandwich with onion rings. My only complaint was that the steak had no seasoning so I requested sauce. Dipped in the sauce and in the potatoes it was very good, though! The salad bar was a nice addition to my meal and everything was very cold and fresh. The club sandwich was LOADED with meat- they definitely do no skimp out! The seasonings that were missing on my steak are just a personal preference mind you, so don't take that to heart too much. At the end of the day we would return again for sure and would highly recommend this place!“

“We aren’t from Portland but make the drive because we love the atmosphere. Crystal is amazing with kids and whenever we ask our two kids where they want to eat they go just to see her. The outdoor area overlooking the river is really nice too!“

“We stopped in while passing through town and we are so glad we did. The beer selection had something for everyone! We shared a flight and each beer was better than the last. The staff was fun, friendly, and knowledgeable, and the brewery itself was so laid back and had such a cool vibe. We ended up ordering a snack which was also amazing. Can’t recommend this brewery enough. We will make a point to visit next time we are nearby.“

“Great Cob Salad and the onion rings were awesome. Large portions and fresh ingredients. Our server, Josh, provided great service. The Lemon Berry cake was the perfect after dinner treat. We will be back.“

“A very friendly bar that we have loved to go to for probably the last 10 12 years. The owner is a great gal and the clientele are always friendly. Schafers always feels like at at home bar. We have no problem driving from Portland Westphalia to have a cold beer or a drink it's certainly worth it. I have met so many wonderful people here over the years. We do not mind that they don't have food because we always run down to Diana's and get subs and Schafer's doesn't care if you eat them there.“

“We love Eagle Inn and are here with our kids at least once a week. The waitstaff is so friendly and knows our kids names and orders by heart. The food is always awesome, and our favorite place to watch Lions games, there’s a billions tv’s! They even have kids menus and crayons! You also cannot beat their fish fry on Fridays!!!“
