New American Restaurants near Milwaukie, OR

“Loved our visit to pFriem last night. The atmosphere was lively even on a Wednesday night but not too loud. The beer was great, I especially liked the passionfruit hazy. The food was one of the best I've had at a Portland area brewery. We enjoyed the apple bleu cheese salad, the wings and the brat plate. So nice finding a brewery with an in house kitchen that serves more variety than sandwiches or pizza. We will definitely be back.“

“I love the food! The best and most friendly service you will find anywhere in the area. Always a great place to go. I only wish I had found this place sooner.“

“Everything about this place is phenomenal. The food is so delicious. We tried several things off the menu and couldn’t decide what our favorite was. They were all that good. And the staff are on top of it! Friendly, helpful, and happy. And we had the most sensational cocktails ever! Highly highly highly recommend this place. Great vibe and energy too!“

“Delicious food and considerate service! Each bite was full of amazing flavors that were unusual and yet worked together. The madelines are a must have. The chicken liver toast with pickled strawberries doesn't seem like it should work but it absolutely does. The 'fancy instant coffee' fit the vibe of the restaurant and was surprisingly good. I'll definitely want to return when the menu changes with the season.“

“Amazing food! We did the 7 course option and it turned out wonderful. The staff is sooo super friendly and knowledgeable about everything. Can’t wait to go back next time we’re in Portland. Also holds a special place in my heart since we got engaged there. :)“

“It was delicious!!! Rabbit, foie gras, pigs feet, escargot, halibut, eel, scallops, all the fancy sauces….SOOO good!! Every bite was just perfectly executed. The staff was so friendly and engaging which made it really fun to sit at the chef’s counter!“

“all I can think saying is it’s delicious every spoonful come out and have some …delicious I promise“

“Loved our dinner on the patio, the fried cauliflower, broccoli soup and fig and bacon pizza were delicious plus the drinks and dessert! The scissors to cut the pizza were a delightful bonus, I think I need a pair in my life now😄 Seriously, go try Firehouse.“

“I think a couple weeks to the menu would be needed. We noticed the same garnish with caviar on both hot and cold dishes. The caviar on the hot pork chop wasn't very pleasing. The pork chop definitely needed a pineapple salsa or sauce with it to cut through the fattiness of the chop and grits.“

“I am a programmer for a local city community center, and our group of seniors (13 people) had the most wonderful experience! The food, ambiance and amazing service that everyone received was top notch! What made it a truly memorable experience was the group getting to meet Cheryl herself, who was so accommodating and generous. Thank you Cheryl❤ , we will be back again and will be singing your praises with our friends and colleagues.“

“Great restaurant, we go everytime we are in Portland. Great food, great ambience and wonderful staff. Plus an outstanding butcher shop“

“Decided to go here because of our Chase Sapphire and now we would go back without the additional cash back. The food was so good and everything blended together so well. The duck for 2 dish was phenomenal and even though we were full we could have kept eating. Definitely recommend this place.“

“I wish nothing but the best for Baird's , nice to always see there's some great businesses out there that actually care about making a difference.“

“What a great place! We stopped here for lunch finally and will definitely be back.

I first discovered this place after having visited Germany and looking for good schnitzel here at home. The hours are a lil weird with our schedule, but we finally made it! This place is as close as I've found to what we enjoyed over seas.

We got all 4 of the lunch schnitzels. They're half orders and a lil smaller. So, it was perfect for the three of us. The dill pickle soup is excellent and the house-made Radler... Wow! Everyone over here wants to add juice to their radlers, but in Germany they add Sprite and that's really tough to find over here for some reason... Anyway, Otto and Anita do it right.

The atmosphere was cute and homey. There was plenty of seating, but maybe not plenty of parking. We got a lil creative.

We were too full for dessert, but it looks delicious. We'll definitely be back.“

“What a great experience. Our party of four was there for brunch. I had apple fritters with side of amazing Hungarian sausage with homemade mustard. - exceptionally good! My wife and daughter had baked pancakes with plums, the other with raisins. Very unique, very good as well. One man runs the whole restaurant from kitchen to table. Loved the experience.“

“I have been a fan of Cabezon since one rainy night nearly 20 years ago. The menu is simple and remarkably consistent yet with enough offerings to please most anyone. Seafood is featured but is supported by ever changing soups, fresh pates, mac & cheese, and fries. Lamb loin, a fabulous cioppino, and a grilled pork chop are almost always available. Each is done exceptionally well with thought and skill. Maintaining such a high level of quality over so many years is almost impossible. Cabezon does so with style. Fair prices and gracious service make any meal taken there a pleasure. Special note: The wine list is rife with carefully chosen bottles from Oregon, California and France. Wines from Spain and Italy also make appearances. And these wines are extremely well priced. One example: A fabulous Mark Herbert Champagne that retails for near $70 was offered for $96. Expensive, yes. But still a very good deal.“

“I make it a point to visit Canard Burnside on all of my trips to Portland! The unique flavors and presentations on their menu keep me coming back for more. Had the roasted beets last night for the first time and the flavor was out of this world.“

“One of my favorite bars in Portland. Perfect date spot. Beautiful interior and back patio. Great lighting. Good cocktails, I love that they have mini mixed shots for like $7.

For how fresh and delicious most of their menu items are, I was surprised at the burger quality - I’m almost certain it was a frozen patty, which seems so unlike this spot. I could be wrong, it just didn’t taste like what the price point makes it seem you’re getting. That said, everything else I’ve eaten here is fantastic.“

“This is a great first date place. The food presentation was outstanding. However, we felt it was a little blan. They use RC soda products here, which are flat at the bar but have carbonation if gotten from the back. Amazing happy hour!

Kid-friendliness: Not great for kiddos.

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of wheelchair accessibility tables.“

“Friendly fun staff. Great beverages and food. Nice vibe.“

“We arrived later in the evening for dinner..we were treated so well, never felt like they were rushing us to eat as they closed. Some restaurants have lost that ability to not make you feel rushed when you come in later...I am very respectful of my servers...the server was fabulous, smiling seemed like she enjoys what she does.. It is one of my favorite places, the servers, the food, the music and the vibe is so good.“

“The EastBurn has one of the coziest vibes I've experienced yet, paired with friendly, attentive staff and fantastic food. Coffee is hot and fresh and their hash dishes are the perfect jumpstart to one's day.

I got the Hash Brisket with the Side Bacon. The generous portions were steaming fresh, seasoned wonderfully, and felt like a good value for the price. I'll certainly be coming back to try out other selections off the menu and soaking in the hipster (affectionate) vibes.“

“Going to Astera is not just going out for dinner: it is a whole different dining experience that goes beyond food and service. Don't get me wrong: the food is amazing and the service is impeccable! But to reduce a dinner at Astera to only this would not do it justice. The atmosphere is carefully crafted, from the lighting to the music, creating a space not only to eat, but to celebrate the art of cooking. Dining here feels less like a meal and more like a journey, one that lingers in your memory long after the last bite.“

“Went here as a early Mother’s Day treat with my daughter. Had the sample plate…. So delicious and we learned we liked it all! Also got a sundae….. totally recommend. For take home I got the cookies. This place is a gem! Stop by and check it out for sure if you are ever in the area.“

“I had a memorable dinner at Higgins Restaurant. I ordered their Oregon Mushroom Set Menu, and each dish reflected their respect for local ingredients. The wild mushroom bisque was particularly delicious, with a smooth texture and rich aroma. The waiter was very professional and attentive, explaining the background of each dish. The elegant yet relaxed atmosphere was perfect for a leisurely meal with friends or family.“

“Probably the best breakfast in Portland, biscuits are amazing!!“

“Great atmosphere if you are any kind of gamer! Food was great. I ordered my steak medium and they nailed it! Service came with a smile! Deserts were interesting and tasty. The beer selection was good! Oh, and I am definitely a gamer! Bought 2 games while we were there!“

“Hands down one of the best sandwich places I’ve had. Fully appreciate the variety of the vegetarian friendly sandwiches. Got the Fresh Prince, which doesn’t come with cheese and I debated adding it, but i didn’t and I didn’t miss it! The flavors are so well balanced and delicious, the sour dough was just awesome. Everything together was phenomenal, and I immediately wanted more.“

“This was really a lovely dining experience. It definitely leans into the small plate for sharing/ vibe. The dishes were really unique and pleasant. Two standouts were the miso succotash which was a real surprise, and the burnt basque cheesecake which was so lovely in taste and texture. It can be a bit loud for the older set; there is dining al fresco available. There is a nice selection of wines by the glass.“

“Our first time here and the beer was good! The food ops are endless with all the food carts! The place was hopping for a Friday night and it is family and pet friendly. I couldn’t believe how many kids there were!“

“Tried the Rum Club on a whim while staying down the street and can't wait to go back! The happy hour punch was a steal at $5 and the pineapple fried rice was a huge portion for 2 of us to share. We also tried both the Burning Son & Doors and Corners cocktails, both were delicious. Service was great, friendly and attentive.“

“LOOK AT THAT SANDWICH !!!“

“Fresh pasta and inventive salads“

“Great little brewery. Repurposed house built into a restaurant. Cozy vibes. If you like sours there's tons of selection. Didn't get to try the pizza, but it looks homemade and hearty. Smelt amazing.

Outdoor and indoor seating. Outdoor fireplace and heaters for the cold.

They also have boardgames.

Classic Portland.“

“Everything it has a cozy feeling. I love the decor. Also our waiter was very nice and friendly. I don’t live in Portland, but when I visit again I will definitely come back. My dinner was delicious. My daughter who lives in Portland suggested this restaurant.“

“Excellent food and service.“

“Haley was amazing!!! The food was delicious,and the service was fast, friendly and excellent. Chai ☕️ was so good!“

“Always take such great care of us! Were wonderful in taking care of our industry tastings and our guests loved everything. All wines were wonderful, tasty food and amazing server.“

“Friendly staff, delicious pub food with an interesting twist, a good beer selection, and great cocktails!“

“My goodness, this place is amazing. Had a coworker bring me there for lunch, and I haven't eaten this good in a LONG time. Super high quality food at great prices, and a nice atmosphere to boot. It's Portland, so YMMV, but if you can manage a sunny day and sit on the patio by the river while eating the juiciest, crispy-skinnest, most flavorful brick chicken you'll ever have, you won't regret it. I have every intention of visiting again and again, and trying everything on the menu. I'd give six stars if I could, it's just. that. good.“

“Sat outside comfortably on the covered porch in November, I had the shrimp and grits and it was very good. Others in my party also were pleased with their dishes including Mac and cheese and burger.
Their kids portions were generous as well.“

“Had a fabulous dinner here! The venison special was better than any steak I’ve ever had, and dessert was just as incredible. A true gem worth supporting!“

“Gin gimlets were delicious“

“The Cajun fries were really good. I also had a yummy IPA.

We sat outside at the outdoor patio with our dogs and the staff was so nice. They got our dogs a bowl of water and even bit a dog treat in half themselves so they could each have a half.

We happened to be there for drag bingo which was so fun!“

“Visited for an event, but I will be coming back. Gorgeous location, beautiful facility, and a lovely Syrah.“

“Excellent food. Rotating menu of inventive, tasty dishes. Excellent service.“

“Excellence! A friend and I were guests there and had a wonderful meal, superb customer service and wait staff..will definitely return! Thank you Stone Cliff for a memorable and incredible meal and experience!“

“Excellent food and service in a comfortable environment. Highly recommended!“

“Get to Stumptown and try it!!“

“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.“
