50 Best American Restaurants near Fairview

“This place is great! Not to be confused with the other place that went to SE Portland.“

“Live in Post Falls Idaho and met my aunt and uncle there as they frequent often. I was worried about a place called bumpers and was hesitant. But I have to say my chicken sandwich might have been one of the best and the rest was good also. Server was spot on and it was a great reunion. I just wonder if the name was changed if it would do more business. It was more fine dining, than a Bumpers. Great job guys.“

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

“Favorite place… like family. Mimi, Peter, Cindy, Jessica & Jennifer are awesome owners and bartenders … drinks are always waiting when I come through the door. Love the live weekend music and weekday Karaoke“

“Move back to Cali and every time I come to through Portland I make a stop food is fire 🔥“

“Picked up an Amalfi Bounty sandwich for the road. Massive hoagie roll but delicious flavors and so many vegetables. Cheese is thinly sliced so it doesn’t overwhelm the fillings. There’s a parking lot here and the 2 unisex bathrooms are clean.“

“My friend and I visit here every Friday evening. The staff are always friendly and accommodating. Especially Jason. He remembers regulars, and is very genuinely caring about the people he serves. The servers, including Lupita, are very prompt and nice. Your drinks never go empty! We prefer this location because it’s not only open until 10pm, but because we have had such pleasant experiences with the staff. Food is pretty darn good too! Fresh breakfast meats and French toast! Thank you!“

“Great food , better service and amazing atmosphere, all because of the service. Not 1 person walked by us without asking if we needed anything.“

“Great staff. Delicious food!“

“The service is excellent, the food is delicious and the place is cozy and familiar. Everything is clean. ☺️👍🏻. 🥪🍳🥘🥗“

“We were visiting from out of state. We found the food to be delicious, fresh and perfectly cooked and presented. The best part was the first person we encountered as we entered the restaurant. I don't know his name, but he welcomed us, gave us time to consider our order, offered suggestions as we tried to accommodate our particulars.
Well done. Highly recommend.“

“Second time coming here, amazing and personable staff, adequate timing to order and food came out at a reasonable time. The waiter Carrie was great and had a great sende of humor. Will continue to come back here. And the portion sizes for the price is very generous and great. Overall great experience for the second time. We went on a Wednesday morning. I know the weekends get very busy with long wait times, so its best to get their as soon as you can, especially with a larger party.“

“We love Crave and have gone there several times. The mac and cheese is beyond great. We love the pasta they use, and the sauce is amazing. I always have extra to take home too. Not your grandma's grilled cheese is another favorite. I personally don't understand the bad reviews. It has been so great every time we go we have been completely satisfied and have told management several times. Compared to a lot of places and fast food at the same prices, it is a no-brainer. Thx Crave for our new place!“

“Dining in the dark was worth the experience but the food was disappointing.“

“I’m not sure what has taken me so long to leave a review for this amazing place.

Considering I’ve been enjoying their food and service for 15+ years, it’s almost criminal that I haven’t shared my thoughts!

I’ll keep this short and sweet.

This place is fantastic! The food is an excellent value, and I’m honestly surprised they’ve managed to keep their prices reasonable while everyone else is jacking their menus through the roof.

Value aside, what really makes (or breaks) a place, in my opinion, is customer service. And this place has always been excellent.

What stands out to me is that I’ve been seeing the same faces working there for well over a decade. To me, that speaks volumes about the leadership. Customer service is hard, and as a former restaurateur, I know firsthand that the food service industry can be brutal. So it really says something when a restaurant can retain its staff the way this place has.

But the food? It’s great. We usually come for breakfast, but the lunches are delicious too.

The gold medal has to go to the Redneck Benedict. If I had to leave one negative, though, it’d be the burgers. The beef just isn’t very good, and it tastes pretty low quality. I honestly hate even saying that, but it’s true. Still, in 15+ years, that’s the only thing that’s ever disappointed me, and I don’t think that’s much of a knock.“

“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 ❤️“

“Savannah was very nice today. You can tell that she’s on her a-game. Chicken and Waffle was amazing“

“Whenever my man and I go out to see our favorite band’s, which is 1-2 times s week and all our friends are there as well…..let the Shenanigans begin, because we all get the party started, because the bands set lists are so good, we can’t stop dancing and grooving….We always have the BEST times of time’s @ M&Ms, no doubt about that……And all the band that play there are some of THE BEST in the PNW…“

“My wife and I had a wonderful dinner. She ordered the chicken strips and I had the steak. Both were properly cooked and appealing. Staff was friendly starting with the greeting as we came in. It was a weekday so it was rather empty and peaceful at the time. Background music was pleasant. We learned about then from their sponsorship of Outlaw Country music radio. Our only suggestion may be adding more decorations to give it a more distinctive character. (She made me add this. :-) ) We look forward to coming back again.“

“I love this place, everyone is so nice to me.“

“I was looking for a breakfast joint that would feel like home and I found it at Lisa's Country Kitchen! I ordered the Belgium Waffles with blueberries & a side of scrambled egg. The waffles came with a blueberry in every crevice so you get a blueberry in every bite! Plus a fruit cup side. It was a delightful surprise!

The staff is very friendly & attentive. I instantly felt like family.

Lisa's is my new go-to breakfast place! 💖“

“Whenever I’m in Portland I make sure I have breakfast at Elmer’s before I leave. Our server was Brittany, she was very helpful, friendly and efficient. I will return in March and look forward to dining at Elmer’s again.“

“Great food, especially brunch/lunch menu on Saturday and Sundays. Benedict’s are delicious, Beignets with toffee drizzle are so good!“

“Very nice atmosphere, fast service“

“I have always loved Cafe Yumm since the Seattle location opened (R.I.P!). Sometimes we drive from Olympia to pick some up and eat it by the river with our dog!!

Today on the way to the car, my wife fell and smashed her food. Tyler was so sweet and made her another burrito. They went above and beyond what they needed to do! That is part of why I come to this location, fresh food, great service, and always clean!“

“I ordered a combination dinner on my first visit, as I’ve been trying to find a great Chinese restaurant in the area. The chow mein was a bit different than what I expected, but the shrimp and fried rice were both very good.

I asked the waitress if I could swap the chow mein for additional fried rice since it wasn’t quite to my taste, and the staff was incredibly polite, understanding, and generous in accommodating my request. Their customer service really stood out, and I truly appreciated how they handled everything.

I would definitely come back again!“

“Wow! We have been fans of Dean's Homestyle Cafe for many years. When the new owner's took it over this year, we were concerned about whether the comfortable, flavorful, "homestyle" experience we were used to would remain. The new team has done great! The staff is super friendly and working hard to make people feel welcome, learning names of regulars, and carrying on a place with a great reputation. The food is still excellent with super generous, well prepared portions and very reasonable prices. Well done!“

“wonderful dj , perfect bartenders, lovely customers. comfortable perfect place to meet fantastic new people“

“The burgers here are fresh and delicious!“

“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.“

“the only place to get buckwheat pancakes“

“First time there tonight. Staff was friendly and took good care of us. Food was awesome. Happy hour was pretty decent. Very nice outdoor patio and seemed to be very dog friendly. (We didn’t bring ours but others did). Will be returning customers for sure.“

“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.“

“Fabulous and consistent, what again? Otra vez! GO NOW“

“Most fabulous inclusive LGBTQ+ bar and grill in PDX. Mostly leans sapphic, but all are welcome. Great food and atmosphere. Lots and lots of events. Something for everyone.“

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

“Love the restraint and the people that work in this place love the atmosphere it has too. Pretty awsome place.“

“Good food & service. Thank you, Juana“

“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.“

“I love my blue moon 🌙 I love my blue moon 🌝“

“My friend and I decided to come and have happy hour and we ordered california roll the wagu beef sliders the cod tacos and the fishermens stew. I enjoyed the sliders very much. The california roll had more rice than filling but, the crab meat, avocado and cucumber had good flavor but the quantity was very small. the cod tacos didn't say it was blackened with spices that were a little more than my taste buds could handle. the fishermens stew was very flavorfull and had well cooked fish and seafood. I would not recommend the california roll because of the amount of rice.“

“We had an AMAZING unexpected experience after the pool. Skye, our server, was so personable. In addition, she already knew what we wanted before we asked for it. In addition, the manager wanted to know our experience, she was so receptive. Applebee's is earning lots of props back. ❤“

“Good food and service. Daily specials are yummy, and drinks are tasty. A/C is better then being outside.“

“I tried their brisket...⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5. So good. I just got done eating it and my mouth is watering just thinking how good it was.“

“The halibut fish tacos are quite good. The large pieces of fish are perfectly fried, and nicely topped, though I'd suggest more Cilantro. The tacos don't come with any sides, however, the two tacos are a good light meal on their own.

The potato wedges were just OK, but not memorable. A little more crisp and something other than sour cream would really help this dish.“

“duh... awesome it has the same name as me.“

“Nachos… just… bring friends.“

“they have great servers friendly staff the asst manger Julian " Julez" cares about the customs making sure they get what was ordered and with an friendly smile and the other co worker Autumn always smiling make you feel at home so kudos to both of them“
