50 Best American Restaurants near Oak Grove

“They have great service, great food and amazing Steaks! Love this place“

“I always get my drunk on here and it's certified, bossman. Yep they have booze and the other bs but no bingo. Sirius I get pounded here. One Time the uber guy even vetoed me so I just walked to Sellwood. They never get on their high horse here when you drink a lot which is nice.“

“One of the best brunch spots in Portland. Everything is high quality, and they even have delicious mocktails! The seasonal veggie hash was a clear winner for us. The fried chicken was so juicy and tender. Highly recommend- come early because it’s crowded and there’s always a line!!“

“Cuban sandwich compared to the turkey was quite the contrast.
Turkey was huge Cuban, not so much. Turkey was far more flavorful in my opinion also. With this being my only time going here so far I'd say choose a cold sando as opposed to their hot ones.“

“So I’m gonna dock you guys a point seasoning lacks significantly, also I placed a Togo order and the portion was very small and seemed to be only 1 egg for the scramble. But overall great new place I’m gonna come back I know new places take time to dial in flavor“

“Excellent food. Came for a late lunch that wouldn't ruin our dinner and got the ham and butter baguette and the sardines plate. Yummmmm. Fall cocktail was also delicious. They add 20% gratuity (and highlight it for you on the ticket), but do be aware of that when tipping. Have also been for brunch which was awesome.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I ordered through UberEats so no rating on service or atmosphere. I ordered the small beast and an order of hand cut fries. The food was delicious but my fry order was ridiculously small. I.qam attaching a photo for reference. For $6 I expected a more generous portion.“

“One of the best values out there for a healthy bowl! I can’t get enough of the #3 Nori bowl. It’s my favorite bowl anywhere!! So tasty, quick, and reasonably priced.“

Their kids portions were generous as well.“

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

“Very cute spot, very good food! This slightly hidden gem is very cozy and warm, with multiple seating options. I have been here 3 times now and the food is always perfect. The only thing I dislike is having to order at the counter, which a lot of places are moving toward. It really makes me feel restricted on what I can order and how long I can stay, even though I know there is actually no limit. I just feel like I am getting more for bang for my buck when I have table service. And I'm also more likely to stay and have another drink. I'll go cry about it somewhere else though :)“

“Cozy little place with awesome food and great servers. The eggs Benedict was awesome and the chicken cordon scramble was good too. Ask Kari for the Kari menu and she'll give you some interesting ideas worth trying! (Hope I spelled her name right.)“

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

“This is an old school blues bar with heart, warm and friendly people, a great chef and cool bartenders, and fantastic music Wednesday through Sunday. I love to dance, but this is the only bar I'll go to to dance. It is line Cheers for blues musicians and aficionados.“

“I've eaten at Good & Evil many times during the last 10+ years and eat from both the Good and Evil sides of the menu.

The wraps and bowls/salads are always tasty and consistent.

One of the very best food carts in the Portland area.“

“We loved Thanksgiving dinner in September. We both got the 50/50 dinner highly recommend. The inside with the stained glass ceiling is fantastic.“

“I've always had decent food here at Bannings. This morning I ordered Pumpkin pancakes.....what a disappointment. The pumpkin batter needed salt added to it and it also could have used a bit more sugar in the batter. The syrup was not real maple syrup but table top ad says, "warm maple syrup," so I expected real maple syrup. It also says, "whipped butter." I asked the waiter about the maple syrup and he told me it was "artificial" maple and argued the fact that the restaurant never said "real" maple syrup. Maybe the butter is whipped margarine...who knows what liberties are taken in menu descriptions. I'm a "real" maple syrup customer.“

“Amazing little, literal, hole in the wall for some quickish eats. Food is fresh and on point and the staff is super friendly. What more is there? Highly recommend the Spicy Russian. The Pastrami is hard to beat at this price. $1 chips and sodas like the ole’ days. Do it!“

“So, I'd like to give this place 5 stars, but the place is a lie. They are named jojo, say they have jojos, but it's a lie. They have the best fried baked potatoes I've had in a while, but they sure as heck aren't actual jojos. They aren't pressure fried. They're double cooked. That's not a jojo. Liars.“

“A hidden gem in the heart of Portland.

Brunch here felt like more than a meal — it was an experience. The shrimp and grits sang with flavor, and every dish carried the kind of care you can taste. They went above and beyond to honor our dietary needs without making it feel like a compromise.

Our server, Sage, was a bright light — gracious, kind, and attentive in a way that made us feel not just served, but welcomed.

Supporting Black-owned businesses is always meaningful, and here it felt especially beautiful because the food, the atmosphere, and the hospitality all came together with such love.

This isn’t just a place to eat — it’s a place to savor, to celebrate, and to return to.“

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

“SIDNEY was our server. She was so gracious and accommodating. Chatted and gave the best recommendations to us on our first time there. The atmosphere was amazing with misters that popped on right as it started to get hot on their adorable outdoor eating space. The food is TOP KNOTCH! Holy cow this place should have higher ratings! Will definitely be back for more! Thank you from Bend for your great prices and great service and food!!!“

“My husband and I visited during our trip. We were surprised to find this place open on Veteran's day. I truly enjoyed their corned beef hash, and grits were cooked to perfection. The Chai latte was absolutely delicious! I would also recommend the raspberry spread which had pleasant hints of herb(maybe thyme?) Great atmosphere and art. Our waiter was very efficient. We will be returning for our next trip!“

“great cheese steaks , have the best customer service. all in all best experience“

“Paul the bartender was amazing! Couldn't decide between the biscuits/gravey and corn beef hash. Ordered 1/2 portions of both, both were good but the biscuits and gravey was amazing. Great services and loved the atmosphere. Free wifi for those needing a works space“

“Salmon chowder is spectacular. Amazing flavor depth with generous chunks of salmon.“

“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.“

“Great 🎶 Good food and wonderful service.“

“Yummy donuts and Chai. Pleasant and speedy service. Mom loved it and a great atmosphere. We will be back.“

“Classic diner absolutely loved this place. My waitress was so engaging and funny. Very helpful. Not intrusive but very helpful. The food I've never had pancakes so light and fluffy and they tasted so fantastic and I am not really a pancake lover but for some reason I was craving them. Well worth the cost and it's reasonable. But your plates are absolutely full. I made three meals out of my big platter. It's a very comforting type of place. Highly recommend“
