50 Best American Restaurants near Boring

“The staff is so great here! Our waiter was very friendly and funny. The food was so good! We have been trying to find a new Chinese food place after Chinese Happiness closed and this place has become our new go to! Tried the egg flower soup, pork fried rice, sweet and sour chicken and spring rolls, and they were all delicious!“

“Nachos… just… bring friends.“

“My go too! Always a good time and great drinks!“

“This review is based on our last few minutes paying the bill, everything else was top notch. Our group of 4 was chatting when our bills arrived and continued to visit, and our waiter came by to gather abit later and told him it was ready. At this time we Bagan to review our bills to pay one with a card and we were paying cash. As soon as I placed the cash in their bifold and placed on the table another waiter came to the table and stated being just like our waiter and dressed similarly. Worth noting she was about 110 5 foot or so with our waiter at 220 plus and 6ft or so wit a great beard. I stated that our waiter had much bigger feet and a great beard with my wife commenting about our matching hairlines... lol right. No next thing we get is she identifies as law enforcement and proceeds to walk away with an elevated voice "I'll kick beat you down" I turned left to my friend and sain now she wants to wrestle. At this point mist people are watching and then just short of screaming she yells "I'll Kick your A$$". And indeed the entire restaurant is watching on what was going on, I simply went back to visiting with our group not knowing what was next. Not long afterwards our waiter walked by and as he did thank me for the tip. No follow up from management nothing. So probably about 15 minutes after this a few other groups had left and we started our departure and still nothing. Over the years we have been here many times as a couple and a few large groups, after this event not to sure we could return for an enjoyable dining experience with their staff threatening some ones life unprovoked.

“I own a BBQ food trailer back home stopped here had a burger and fries it was wonderful.#smokemybuttbbq“

“We go there quite often the food is great and a good size portion, the service is great and friendly. Highly recommended“

“The food was so delicious. I love cooking but have not eaten anything this good. The Coconut Tilapia was so delicious, The oxtail, plantain, veggies, rice, chapati were so good. The food was delivered many miles away yet it was still very warm and very hygienically packed. If I lived in Portland, I would eat here as many times but unfortunately I'm in a different state but whenever I would visit Portland I would definitely eat at Amani African Cuisine. Try out their richly flavoured menus, they are awesome. Thanks a lot Mary“

“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 ❤️“

“Thinking of trying someplace new to get a tasty sandwich? You found the right spot. We ordered the lamb Philly and it was delicious. Portions were off the charts. If you're looking for something to fill you up and make you smile, get yourself a lamb Philly (Remember that it comes with fries and you don't need to order extra) and prepare yourself for a feast.“

“I have never had a bad meal. The service is courteous and the Servers are friendly and knowledgeable. Everything is freshly made. Who needs Bigfoot? The Country restaurant is Oregon's greatest mystery. Peace 🕊️“

“Always wonderful food and service.“

“I see some deducted stars in other reviews becuase the new menu. I’ve only recently ordered from this place a few times and honestly can say it’s the best chicken I’ve ever had. I couldn’t imagine the old menu being even better. I’ve had the peanut Thai and the Korean bbq sandwhiches, killer. Wife got the chicken tenders both times, perfect breading and perfectly cooked tender chicken.“

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

“The burgers here are fresh and delicious!“

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

“We happened on Bumpers while on vacation and we were looking for an open, family friendly restaurant for a late dinner. Delicious food, great service, nice old-timey vibe. Great beer/drink menu. I appreciated that the portions were manageable so we could finish our meals and didn’t have to worry about leftovers. Blackberry cobbler for dessert was amazing!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“What an awesome hidden gem!

We stopped in on a whim, and we were blown away by how clean, chill and inviting this place is. The owner was the one working and we spent a good amount of time chatting and getting to know the history of the place. He was very friendly.

The beers were ice cold and my vodka soda was poured well. We didn't eat any of the food, but were excited by the idea of ordering the freshly-made deli sandwiches in the future.

The bathrooms were impeccable. Literally one of the cleanest I've ever seen in a bar.

Video poker had a great selection and there was some really fun pinball machines as well.

If you haven't visited here, I highly recommend!“

“the long burger was the bomb--this was in the 60's--don't know if same owners ? he had sons. i often think of those burgers“

“Just wanna say how good the service is everytime we have breakfast at Elmer's on Capitol Blvd. Rosemary is the only one that helps us out everytime and we love her a ton. Always our go to place for breakfast. Thank-you Rosemary for your 10 out 10 service.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Cute little bar friendly service awesome food !“

“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.“

“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.“

“The food is very delicious and the service was great they are very friendly, very clean place to enjoy the afternoon“

“Here is what you have to remember about Edgefield, there are two versions. The concert version that is a big party. You won’t get the best rest or relaxation, but it’s a party!!! The second version is no concert, which is still fun but is your lazy relaxing weekend vibes.“

“Marcus was our server today.. from the moment he met us when we walked through the door until the end he was on point, great attitude and excelent service.

Thanks Marcus! By far one of our favorite servers thus far.. anywhere.“

“Edgefield is a great staycation get away. It is close enough to Portland that you are not driving far, but you feel like you got out of town. I love that you can walk around the entire area and see new things. The Ruby soaking pool is the highlight. The water is delightful and it feels like you are in a tropical hide away. We were there for a girls trip and it was a perfect place to sip wine and relax.“

“We came here on a Sunday in August and it was busy. Plain and simple. There was a concert going on, a movie playing, and the restaurant crew was getting crushed. It seemed like maybe the internet had gone down at some point? Anyway! It took longer than I assume it does to be greeted. But once we were, everything was great. The one thing that was so impressive to me, as someone who manages restaurants, is how calm, collected and straight up jovial the team was. We sat at the bar which looks right into server alley and the line, and everyone was being productive, positive, and kind to each other. Never saw a single person snap or seem put out to be getting crushed. It was super refreshing and much respect to the team. Our server/bartender Will was really nice, efficient, transparent about cook times and kept a good pace. Food was pretty good, standard pub food. I was mostly impressed with the team and their attitude. Vibes were good on a hot, busy day. Would come back just to support that.“

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

“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 🥰🥰🥰“

“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.“

“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“

“Here for the game and had the Sandy Philly. One of the best Philly s I have had. It's hard to find a good Philly. The bartender Holly rocks.“
