50 Best American Restaurants near Fairview

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

“Food was very quality and well prepared with unique takes on bar favorites. Both my apptizer and entry were top notch. Drinks were also excellent quality with a large selection of house cocktails. Only critique, was the restaurant was rather cold and the shaken drinks could have been shaken a bit longer so they reach the deep cold level before serving. Definitely would eat here again.“

“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 🔥“

“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!“

“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.“

“I usually have a takeout order at least once a week from here. The pizza is great- best we have in the neighborhood! The salads are always fresh and delicious. All of the food is high-quality and we never tried anything we didn’t like. Also, the staff are great!“

“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. ☺️👍🏻. 🥪🍳🥘🥗“

“This was an easy 5 stars. I thought about nit-picking, maybe leaving room for improvement somewhere…nah. No chance.

The corn beef hash was unreal, eggs cooked perfectly to order, and the service was top notch.

This place is easily in my top favorite breakfast spots after only one visit. Comfortable and family-feel diner, this place is great.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 ❤️“

“I have driven by here so many times and never stopped. Since we had diners on our mind, this quickly came to mind. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal this evening. A great array of menu items from breakfast items, burgers, steaks, chicken, sandwiches, salads, blue plate specials and desserts! Generous portions and scratch made. All along with affordable prices. The service team was friendly and attentive. With three kids in tow we all found the meal we wanted.“

“Katie, our server was amazing!!! You were incredibly busy but she was on top of everything. Your chef did an incredible job putting out high quality food in such a hectic time. Your whole staff was hustling. It was one of the best meals I have ever eaten and the donuts were memorable. Though this was our 1st time eating in your restaurant, it will definitely not be our last. Thank you so much for a great dining experience. Jay and Mindy Cooper“

“New kimchi dish is a hit! Please keep it, but also offer it in a larger size. Also, this is the third time I have ordered the kimchi… there is no ability online to add MORE/extra kimchi. You can add to almost everything, but not the one ingredient I actually would pay more for….“

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

“Their biscuits & gravy are to die for!!! Service was ok. She was really busy & I think the only waitress. Of course we had a not so nice person in our group that doesn't make things easy for anybody.
Atmosphere was good. We were in the back at our own table.
I'll give 5 stars for everything & we will go back.“

“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.“

“We love their Chinese food. We highly recommend to bring your family or someone else, as it is the best restaurant in Boring with large portions and cheaper prices than other ones. We always bring leftovers home and have it the next day for lunch or dinner! They really have friendly servers and you get your food quick. We haven't tried their other food on the menu but will one of these days!
We live in Troutdale but have family that live in Eagle Creek and meet them here! It is worth the drive! Enjoy“

“Very nice atmosphere, fast service“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Good food & service. Thank you, Juana“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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. ❤“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“
