50 Best American Restaurants near Aloha

“We had a fabulous dinner last night at the Vintage Room. The views were stunning. Our server, Mariah, was THEE best. Food was delicious, loved the variety of options. Drinks were great. And dessert was super yummy. Thanks for making my boyfriends birthday special, we can’t wait to start making this a regular date night spot.“

“I had tacos on Taco tuesday. They were really good and a great price! The only I think I would maybe change, is I would use grilled chunks of chicken, instead of pulled chicken. The pulled chicken is just too wet and the tortilla never stood a chance LOL“

“Best food and service in the area! Highly recommend!“

“I've always had decent food here at Bannings. This morning I ordered Pumpkin pancakes.....what a disappointment. The pumpkin batter needed salt added to it and it also could have used a bit more sugar in the batter. The syrup was not real maple syrup but table top ad says, "warm maple syrup," so I expected real maple syrup. It also says, "whipped butter." I asked the waiter about the maple syrup and he told me it was "artificial" maple and argued the fact that the restaurant never said "real" maple syrup. Maybe the butter is whipped margarine...who knows what liberties are taken in menu descriptions. I'm a "real" maple syrup customer.“

“Love the decor. So much to look at while you’re there. Fun place to hang out and grab a bite. Best service I’ve had at McMenamins. I’m used to it being super slow. This was a nice change. The small size likely helps. I want to come back for a movie soon!“

“Really good food, very friendly staff, and really good managers, I definitely recommend Stanford’s in Tanasbourne , everyone needs to come in and try it if you haven’t yet, I recommend the fried calamari and the chimichurri steak tips, they are really really good, save space for dessert and try the chocolate mousse, and make sure to try out the drinks the way is made is all fresh made juices, so if you are in the area make sure to stop by at Stanford’s in Tanasbourne, you will not be disappointed.“

“You seriously owe it to yourself to visit Hale's for the experience and make sure to sit in the Lounge for the full effect.“

“Great food! Friendly, knowledgeable service.“

“The best Reuben you can get. Love their burritos and literally everything they have is absolutely delicious. Do wish they still had their potato salad still cause like everything else... it's the best.“

“Very nice restaurant/upscale sports bar. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Great appetizers, good beer/wine selection. Entree's are excellent with wide variety of choices. (But not outlandish/all prepared well!) We've been 3 times in last 6 months and definitely will be back! Thank You CR!“

“Great breakfast place. Good Simple eats. Must visit when in John’s landing…“

“great cheese steaks , have the best customer service. all in all best experience“

“so, just a disclaimer... I HATE waffles. Absolutely cannot stand them. That being said... I just had the Belgian waffle here, with raspberry puree.... and it was SERIOUSLY delicious!!! Perfect texture, slightly nutty flavor, and the puree was to die for!!!!“

“We walked into a waiting area full of people. We checked in and went right to our table. We will make reservations moving forward when dining here. Food was delicious, as always! Our waiter, Juan, was excellent! I don't recall the managers name - Ryan maybe? But he was also great!“

“Amazing food and wine and excellent service form Mikey and his crew!“

“This restaurant has been a long time Tigard staple for years. I was eager for the reopening in hopes a lot of my fav's would return. It definitely has a new vibe. The menu is at the front and I think I would prefer ones at my table. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The winner of the night had to be the halibut fish and chips. The pieces are HUGE. The breading was nice and crunchy. Their Cole slaw was equally delicious. My suggestions would be to turn the music down as the acoustics are weird and at the same time keep the water glasses full. We most certainly will be back. Thanks, Rick Love“

“The best place for milkshakes, fries, and wings!“

“This review is going to be very specific to the time in which it was written. It is November of 2025, snap benefits have been cut off for hundreds of thousands of families and individuals across the country due to the government shutdown, and the world is, generally speaking, kind of a nightmare.

This is one of the local restaurants that is providing free meals to people who have lost SNAP benefits. The meal I got today was a burrito with two sides of salsa, the burrito itself was hearty and filling but not overwhelming in terms of seasoning- nutritionally dense but not overwhelming for the palate, so anybody with any level of spice tolerance could enjoy this burrito, and I believe that that is by design and also an incredibly compassionate and wonderful thing. The mild salsa is delicious and flavorful, and the habanero salsa is surprisingly sweet with a heat creeps up on you. I would highly recommend it, I like spicy stuff, if you don't like spicy stuff, maybe don't follow my recommendation, I'm not your mom, make your own choices.

I want to be abundantly clear that I love and deeply appreciate what this restaurant is doing before I say the next part because it is going to sound like criticism and I don't mean it as criticism, just as a heads up for other people in my position. I got food from them today- I tried to get food yesterday, but I was turned away because I did not have my wallet with me so I could not show my EBT card- I left home without my wallet, and the only person at fault for that is me, but I don't want other people to have the same experience. So I am writing this review in hopes that other people who have lost their SNAP benefits will know to be extra sure they bring their card with them, because The experience of coming into a restaurant and asking for a SNAP meal and being turned away, while entirely my own fault and the consequence of my poor planning and my foolishness... It is an experience I don't want anyone else to have because it is such a small thing but it was embarrassing and demoralizing and that is not the restaurant's fault at all, I cannot stress strongly enough that this was my own fault, but that didn't make it hurt any less. With all the very loud, very public commentary coming from every direction from hateful people about the recipients of SNAP benefits, getting turned away because I didn't have my card was the straw that broke the camel's back and I pulled over and cried on my way home because it all became too much for a minute there. Telling people to bring their cards with them is my way of trying to prevent anyone else from feeling that particular hurt.

Thank y'all, Laughing Planet, for everything you're doing. The burrito was the perfect portion size, and when I am back on my feet, I will be back to try more of your menu because that habanero salsa absolutely slaps. I will be dreaming of it until then.“

“They have the BEST Happy Hour! Our host AND server, Tina, was so attentive and had a positive, energetic personality! She made my husband's birthday special by bringing him not one, but TWO of their special cakes with a HUGE sparkler! It was a great experience for our first time there! Will definitely be back!“

“Paradise Restaurant & Lounge offers a stylish and comfortable dining experience with a diverse menu featuring a blend of international and local flavors. The ambiance is inviting, making it great for casual dinners or special occasions. Known for attentive service, flavorful dishes, and a good selection of cocktails, it’s a popular spot for both food and nightlife lovers. Ideal for those seeking a relaxed yet vibrant atmosphere.“

“Stripes Restaurant was a small food stall on the second floor of the mall in the food court. It sells cheeseburgers, fries, grilled cheese, and chicken strips. I got two medium cheeseburger combos for my little brother and sister, which were about $13 each.“

“I come to this particular Black Bear every year because it is the one nearest to the hotel nearest to where my dad lives. I go to a Black Bear Diner pretty often, and this one is up to the same high standards as basically all the others I've visited. This visit, however, was not to see my dad but to go to his funeral. It was a really rough day today. I could hardly leave the hotel room. But when I did, and I sat there just reading for a bit over a hamburger, listening to nothing in particular, my waiter was very helpful and attentive despite there seeming to be a lot of people and not enough waiters. He had no way of knowing that today was one of the hardest days in my life. He was kind, attentive, and engaged me in a brief conversation in a natural way without it being forced. I sat for a bit after my meal and had refills for another half hour, until just after closing time. My waiter's name is Ethan. Melissa told me that while she wasn't the manager, I should put a review up online so that my compliment gets back to him. I don't know if I will be back here any time soon. If I am, I will hope to see Ethan, who just did his job and who was genuine.“

“Wonderful restaurant, the staff is very nice and welcoming. Food was amazinghats off to all the chefs they know how to do it right. Great team you have. Will be back very soon“

“Had a great time . Haven’t golfed in years“

“My husband and I have been going Sunset Grilll for at least 20 years. The food is the food is always good., great service, good coffee and the best breakfast anywhere around.“

“Maybe not the best value food wise, but the fact that they have so many options (where else can you get bibimbap and Al pastor tacos) and always good coffee makes it great. But the best part is always the cashier! Always proud to show her latte art even if it’s in a togo cup!“

“Friendly atmosphere food is always good service is prompt. Has a Cheers type feel.“

“It has a decent salad bar with a fine selection including eggs, olives, peppers, chicken, ham, fruits and more.If you have a nut and dairy allergy like me, go early or risk cross contamination from the mad rush of folks who do not pay attention to that.There is a hot food bar as well. The menu changes daily but cannot eat from there due to cross contamination / cooking risks due to said allergy. I hear good comments frequently though.There is also the Sub4 restaurant inside if you have time for a sit down meal, traditional American plates.Last but not least there is a coffeehouse with a fair selection of coffee / tea options.“

“Not bad. The pink mildew in the shower was kinda icky but other than that hotel was pretty decent. Loved Netflix in the room!“

“Celebrated my 33rd Wedding Anniversary with my spouse on 8/7/25. We ordered two braised beef sandwiches, a summer special, with a side of chips, the shrimp arugula salad split for two, AND the tasty, but not too sweet bread pudding!!!! OMG😋Soooo DELICIOUS. I gave all of it a 10/10 and will definitely be back to try more food items!!
Caitlin was our server and did a nice job waiting on us and telling us about the Marketplace Cafe!! It is truly a hidden surprise that is WORTH checking out!!!“

“Good place and consistent. However this last time I ordered a wrapped hot and jazzy with chicken. Guy asked if I needed a fork and I said no, it’s a wrap and I’ll use my hands. Then I get this thing! Still tastey but what even is this? Lol“

“This was sooooo good! We got the mac and cheese and chicken!! The portions were large too!! I highly recommend. We went on a Saturday evening, so we had a long wait (one guy working), but it was worth the wait. (Next time, I'll order, run an errand and come back.) The owner was busting his butt and quite friendly. Overall, really great!“

“We sat in the bar and bartender was great but definitely needed help. He had every table full and then a big party(20) people waiting for their table getting drinks…I realize it’s hard to find people to work but you really need two people working in the bar. Thankfully we were patient and didn’t mind, but other people wouldn’t have been. Also the host took his time clearing a table for us…. He visited with another gal doing to go orders for 10 min. Before he cleared a table for us“

“This was our first time here and certainly won't be the last. The ambiance, service and cuisine made for a marvelous evening. We enjoyed decadent salads (Swiss Chef and Beets with gorgonzola) The dessert was divine, and like our salads, the portions were generous and the quality of ingredients were excellent. We feasted on a double berry tart a la mode. its presentation was photo worthy. All food had an artistic presentation. We were so impressed 👏“

“Ordered to-go chicken and waffles, and the turkey BLT. Was ready to go at the stated time. There were a handful of beautiful cakes right at the front, ready to go. The only thing was that it was not packed in a to-go bag but save the environment I guess was the idea. Would have loved some utensils as well. The chicken was some of the best fried chicken that I have found around the metro area. Waffle was pretty good too and the syrup was fantastic. Free street parking right out front and around the area.“

“Visited for an event, but I will be coming back. Gorgeous location, beautiful facility, and a lovely Syrah.“

“Located inside the Embassy Suites. This a nice restaurant to relax in at the end of the day. Nice variety on the menu. Salads were fresh and quite large...easily serving 2 people. The butternut squash soup was really good. Taysia, the server, was very pleasant.“

“Had a wonderful Veterans meal at thr Tanasborne location. Casey was our server. She was very professional and friendly,. Everything was prepaired just as requested, and she stopped by to ask if everything was OK 3 or 4 times. The best Veterans meal I have ever had. Will be returning again many times before next year. Although I will not forget next year V Day. Thank-you for honoring us.“

“Great salads and divine drinks!“

“I love the ambiance of the Cheesecake Factory. Very 1920s. I think they would improve a lot by focusing on on their best recipes. The Tex Mex Eggrolls are a delight, I have to physically stop myself from devouring all of them, but there's this Cajun pasta stuff that's just blah.“

“Great food, excellent service.“

“Nice local flare. Away from the city. Excellent food and service.“

“The best Reuben you can get. Love their burritos and literally everything they have is absolutely delicious. Do wish they still had their potato salad still cause like everything else... it's the best.“

“Always a terrific time. The rustic setting, reliable McMenamins food and beverages, and very engaging service staff. The place was swamped for a Sunday afternoon (plus a private event on the balcony) so the kitchen was understandably a bit slower than usual. Otherwise a total hit.“

“Zeno’s Fusion has a “hi, you’re family now” feeling. The food is downright delicious and fresh. The tastes will take you to a place you haven’t been before! So yummy!“

“Cool little place.. great food & people..“

“Very good food! They brought free champagne and an ice cream sundae for my daughter’s birthday. Nice atmosphere! Great service!“

“Love coming to this location. We try to come for breakfast every weekend and always sit in Savanna's section. She is super attentive and always cracking jokes. Perfect start to our weekend. Highly recommended the French toast and German pancake.“

“Always awesome every time“

“We had a wonderful meal at decarli last night for our anniversary. The short ribs truly deserve the hype, we were blown away. The seafood pasta was amazing as well. Cocktails were well balanced with good variety. My partner loves classic cocktails and I love unique ones and they had a selection of both. He was a big fan of the walnut bitters old fashioned. We split a steak tartare appetizer and a salted caramel cheesecake for dessert. Our server was very warm and attentive despite the busy restaurant, and our food came out quickly. This was our first time at decarli and we left with a very positive first impression. Great atmosphere, romantic without feeling stuffy. I am confused by some of the reviews- who cares it’s in a strip mall? Parking was easy and it’s not like we’re in NYC, it’s Beaverton we’re talking about. 10 years ago the whole town was basically a strip mall. Overall 5 stars and we will be back.“
