50 Best American Restaurants near Boring

“If you have children, you definitely want to sit in the Chinese area. My friend and I personally enjoyed the bar area. It was very focused on locals. The waitress was hilarious, sweet, fast and we really enjoyed her company. The food was really good. I would say the fries could use a little bit more crisp but other than that everything was delicious.“

“Nice enough place... Almost like a bar you can bring your kids to? Not a lot of places to get a hot dog and they have a full menu of big Costco sized dogs for a not unreasonable amount of money. I had the burger on Texas toast and it came with fries for $13, however some of the hot dogs were $12-13 which is good if they came with fries but they don't, they come with chips, fries are 4 more dollars and are grocery store variety crinkle cuts... Not sure why the burger is cheaper than a hot dog... The burger was pretty good. My family seemed to enjoy their hot dogs. We had a couple beers that were good but not cheap by any means. It's not overpriced but the place has kind of a bargain feel, I think I would have liked it more it was like a "wow that was cheap experience". If you're gonna charge $12-13 for a hot dog include fries or maybe a 2 dollar upcharge 4 bucks is too much for a hand full of crinkle cuts. Lottery cheapens the place a bit and makes it feel more like a bar than it should. It's not a bad place.

Kid-friendliness: Kids allowed and there are some arcade games.“

“We had a delightful wine dinner featuring UncleZen’s spices and cuisine!! PLEASE PLEASE add Uncle Zen’s shrimp and crabcakes to your menu! They were divine ❤️“

“They changed their menu and switched over to an egg batter versus the former buttermilk batter. The buttermilk batter chicken tenders were amazing! They brought a sense of nostalgia when biting into the generously-cut, CRISPY, juicy chicken tenders. The buttermilk batter was what made the tenders soo delicious.
Now…they taste like any other place where I’ve had chicken tenders. They’re not bad, just not anywhere nearly as great as their former self. It was disappointing because the crispiness was no longer there, they reduced the portion size, removed most of the delicious dipping sauces but their worst move was switching to an egg batter. Go back to the old buttermilk batter recipe. This is what made Kickin chicken stand out as having the best tenders in Oregon.“

“Amazing burgers and Fries! Great service! Definitely recommend!“

“EDIT WARNING: We have been back several times and I would recommend bringing your own water, the water here tastes like it has chemicals in it. Very odd and gross taste.

Food was delicious, just had the fondue and the cheesecake but we approved of both!

Went back and had the ribeye and filet mignon and calamari. Calamari was ok, the steaks were expensive but good not great. Vegetables were almost raw, and hard to eat. Peach lemonade was delicious.

Buffalo wings are a must try! I don't typically like buffalo wings and these are amazing! When they are using the bigger sizes, the smaller ones are not very good. Potato skins didnt have enough toppings.“

“Extremely yummy pulled pork tacos and very attentive staff.“

“Amazing. My husband and I went there for dinner to celebrate our anniversary recently and the food and cocktails were amazing! It was nice not having to drive to Portland for fine dining! I had the lobster dish and husband had the beef Wellington. Highly recommend!“

“McCraes I hands down my favorite restraunt. Excellent food and friendly staff. Fast service, but not rushed.“

“Saturday night Karaoke is fun. Staff is attentive and super friendly 🥰.“

“So, I’ve been here a handful of times since during Covid, and I gotta say, they knock it out of the park every time. That chowder? Must have. I just had some last night. That was leftover from Sunday night, and microwaved. Still phenomenal.“

“Always wonderful food and service.“

“We were there tonight for dinner for the first time!!! The dinner was amazing and the staff was outstanding!!! We will be back soon!!! Thank you for an amazing night!!!“

“Ive always liked Applebees, the family stopped by this location on our car shopping excursion to refill our coffers on a long day. The service was immaculate and top tier. Probably the best service I have experienced in I dont know, 25 plus years of going to different locations in California and Oregon. I would highly recommend this specific location for the homely feel and great service. The food was on point. What else could I ask for?“

“We love Gresham My Bar! Food is usually pretty good but the best part is Ross the bartender! He’s like a good buddy! Very attentive, quick service, remembers our names…. The best!!“

“The food is fresh, high quality, tastes good, plated very well. More like home cooked meal. Customer service is excellent. They take pride in this business.“

“Our server, Halo, gave exceptional service and the food was great! Very pleasant experience!“

“We were treated so good. We keep coming back for thanksgiving breakfast every year“

“One of the friendliest, super attentive crew at a restaurant we've ever experienced. Only eaten here twice and the food is exceptional! Shout out to Jake and staff for making my bday out on the bar patio extra special. We cant thank you enough!“

“I love the historic feeling of the place. Rooms are very special and talk about a specific person who played a role in the farm. Grounds are fantastic. You don't need to go anywhere, you have it all in one place, pub restaurant, theater, winery, distillery, you name it.“

“They do specials all the time! Yum! That cocktail they call "tea" is strong, but taste so good! The clam chowder on Fridays are the best!“

“Been coming here for a couple of years. Nice staff and Lacey does an outstanding job with her menu specials. Laid back atmosphere and great off-street parking.“

“Alex's Bar is a friendly place where you can enjoy good food and beverages. I adore the bar staff. They are the best.“

“We were recommended to visit McMenamins Edgefield while in the Portland area and I'm glad we did! Such an awesome campus full of different bars and restaurants. We ate at the Power Station Pub and it was delicious - loved the space and great service.“

“The best thing you ever did was getting rid of the server named Trina. Trashiest, rudest, most horrible person ever.“

“New menu with remarkable additions to a superb lineup. Exceptional happy hour! Always sensational and remarkably attentive service from the charming, magnetic, and personable bar staff.“

“Always great food, Service and drinks. My new favorite is the pineapple bowl.“

“great staff good food good vibes! If you like live music and dancing this is the venue to be at Thursday thru Friday for 80's to the newest rock and Sundays for the 50 + crowd. great local bands Lip Bomb Andy Madsen PDX Transit Authority and more.“

“THE PLACE TO GO for Philly Cheesesteak! I can't stay away!!! Made fresh right in front of you!“

“We attended McMenamin’s Wassail Cider fest in January so we wanted to try more of their ciders and this is what popped up online. We got the cider flight and the red wine flight, both of which were really good. However, the wine flight they gave us 2 of the 4 glasses, then told us to come back to the back for the other 2, which was a bit weird and honestly I wasn’t a fan of. The service was also pretty lackluster, it was walk up service, which seems to be pretty common in the PNW so we’ve grown accustomed to it, but when its walk up service, I expect a little more when I do come to the bar to order. There were two employees, a blonde woman that I’d guess was in her 20s and a middle aged gentleman. The woman was very nice and enthusiastic and seemed eager to help, but the man seemed like he was doing everything he could to avoid serving guests; when I returned to the bar for the second half of our wine flight, he noticed me, but proceeded to drink water, pace around, look in the storage closet, take a step towards me, turn around, take his sweatshirt off, look around again, then finally came up. As a bartender myself, it seemed like all the things that someone does when they don’t want to help a guest, so they try to waste as much time as possible until another co-worker comes to help them. The vibe was pretty cool being in the basement with glass windows all around so you could see the wine barrels, but it was a bit too dark in my opinion, which made it seem kind of dingy being in the basement. I also wasn’t a fan that when you walk in, there are no signs or menus, just brochures advertising other McMenamin’s properties, and the bar is very small with standing room only and very crowded. It reminded me of a busy college bar where I had to fight through to order drinks, but in this case I had to do that just to see a menu, let alone order a drink; not exactly the experience I want from a tasting room. Overall though, it was still unique experience and I’m sure it would be really cool to stay on property, but I don’t think I’d go back.“

“Gorgeous grounds that you can spend hours walking. This property was formerly a work farm for the local poor. It has been repurposed as a vineyard, hotel, spa, restaurant, bar, golf course and more! There are many events held here but it is absolutely worth a visit even if you don't plan to stay the night. Check out the wine cellar or espresso bar for some great local options, or head inside to the gift shop for some kitschy finds.“

“This is always our Go-to place to eat in Estacada! the food is alway on point, no matter what you get. We love the Club Sandwiches and the Enchiladas!!! But like I said everything we've had is AMAZING 👏 I also love the recent addition of the Kids Game machines! This has been a huge plus when we go to dinner with our 5 kids. The staff are always so inviting and I never have to ask for more to drink. If you want great food, friendly staff and always quality fresh food then head to Old Mill!!! You will not be disappointed 🥰🥰🥰“

“Came here to watch the 49ers game and had their pizza for the first time. Deep dish pepperoni, pineapple, black olives and BBQ sauce instead of red. Great pizza hot and fresh. Will come back again for it.“

“Stopped in on a whim... Very happy with food, atmosphere and service. Order the Jalapeno if you're REALLY hungry. Excellent service, Spider!!!“

“We had great service and food. Good bloody Mary's.“

“Elevator Coffee in NE Portland was recently named the best coffee in the United States. Never tried it, so I ordered a couple bags of beans and had them shipped to my place. Got a bag of Counterweight Blend and a bag of Lift Blend. Delicious“

“Great place to hang out and relax with friends. Play some games and watch all sports“
