22 Best American Restaurants in Hood River

“the food and service are always great. been eating there for years… they all know me!!“

“Amazing food and service. Everything was of the highest quality. Can’t recommend enough“

“We were on our way home to LaGrande. Not sure if it was worth a ten mile trip off of 84 for a dinner stop. It is fabulous and now I wish I lived so much closer. Will definitely make the trip again!“

“Divots Restaurant at Indian Creek is exceptional. The Szechuan salad with salmon was incredible, featuring perfectly crisp greens topped with tender, flavorful salmon that had just the right amount of spice, making me want to return for more. The onion rings were crispy and golden, exactly what I was craving.

The staff is truly wonderful. I can’t remember the name of our waiter (he was a tall guy with curly dark hair), but his recommendations and attentive service made our visit even more enjoyable. The patio offers stunning views of the Columbia Gorge and Mt. Hood, providing a beautiful backdrop for every bite.

Even if you don’t golf, I highly recommend stopping by for a fantastic meal, amazing service, and breathtaking scenery. You won’t regret it!“

“I absolutely love this restaurant. My girlfriend just visited Hood River for the second time and this trip we made our reservation at Votum before we even booked our lodging. The first time we dined at Votum was in December where we celebrated our Christmas away from our families together. We had the chefs tasing on Friday, came back from a few items on Saturday, and then for brunch on Sunday it was so good. This trip we had another wonderful meal on Saturday night and then came back for the caviar service and risotto on Sunday. You must get the Caviar service if you go. The warm buckwheat blimi is the perfect combination and worth every penny. Nathan is an incredible host and does an amazing job with the wine pairings. This restaurant is truly a must have if you are ever in Hood River and it would even be worth the drive from Portland for just this meal.“

“Amazing vegan food!! Visiting Hood River. Love this place!“

“As a professional wedding planner, I had the great joy of working a wedding here in July and I was BLOWN AWAY by this venue, not only for it's views and architecture but also by it's company culture, customer service and love for clients. I have added this venue to our VIP Venue list for 2024+2025 which grants their clients a $200 discount on all wedding planning packages simply because we can't wait to work at this venue again!“

“What a great experience! Great drinks, Great food , and amazing staff“

“I tell you what! This is the place to drink and dine if you are in Hood River. Plenty of options on the menu. Staff is above and beyond helpful. Both of us had the soup of the day and fish and chips. They make a gluten free batter for the fish, which is rare. It was fabulous! Afterwards we took a long walk along the river and got to watch some world class hydrofoil water sports. Phenomenal! Such an enjoyable day!!!“

“We love this place, we have been staying here for over 20yrs. Just recently stayed there in December but unfortunately there was a ice storm. We still enjoyed our stay and the staff as always was AWESOME. We are heading down this weekend for our 37yr anniversary so looking forward to it.“

“Best food in Hood River! And right up there with the top restaurants in Portland, as well. Tasty seafood options, steaks, pasta. Good variety, focusing on quality over quantity. Beautiful presentation. Desserts are top notch and in appropriate proportions. Having been here many times over the years, we drove an hour from Portland just for dinner on a beautiful day. The views from the deck are wonderful!“
