11 Best Diners near Portland

“All right this place is very good, my dad has been here before and he's vegan and not too many vegan options so he was only able to get hash browns, but not the end of the world it's really not a vegan place. I got the bacon cheeseburger with Fry's and the burger was very good, it was a normal size nothing big nothing small just a normal size bacon cheeseburger but it was good. Prices aren't too bad, with a drink and food came out to like $19 for one person. Got our food within 10 minutes and the place was somewhat busy so highly recommend this place for a decent meal“

“So good! The veggie beef and broccoli was amazing!“

“This is my favorite Chinese food in all of Portland! When you walk up to the truck you see the older couple working hard, and are met with friendliness and warmth as they take your order and start working on it. They always make sure they got the order correct, and the food is always spectacular. We regularly order the lo mein, general tao's, orange chicken, broccoli beef, and crab puffs. Truly the best! I love that they have combo meals too, most Chinese restaurants only have family style portions of each item. The combo meals are still great portions! I can't recommend Tan's Happy Kitchen enough!“

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

“We hadn’t been here in years because it used to be incredibly crowded, but we decided to give it another try recently, and we’re glad we did. The atmosphere was so calm and inviting this time around. We had the Big Meat Lovers Scramble ($14.25) and French Toast ($16.50) with a side of savory goodness, along with two coffees ($3.75 each). The French Toast was especially easy to enjoy with its savory side. After our meal, we received a pumpkin pie on the house, which was a gentle delight. Everything was delicious, and the server, who was working alone, was incredibly friendly and welcoming. It completely changed our previous impression—we left feeling very satisfied.🤤

Today, we had the Classic Buttermilk Pancakes with Ham and Eggs ($15.35) and the Blueberry French Crepes ($15.35) with Ice Cream ($1.95), a White Russian ($6.95), and Coffee ($3.75). The crepes were soft and chewy, with plenty of blueberries packed inside. The pancakes were fluffy and large, making for a satisfying meal.

“ive never really liked going to this place. Im the customer that hops the bridge at the last minute to hit the poker machines before they shut down and before i sign in for the night. this is odviously one of the closest places to play comming from washington but its always been a last resourt as all the vagrants coagulate there, and theyve had the rudest 'host person' the kind of employee that prefers to go by they/them and looks like all the vagrants would be her best friends. anyway 'they' wanna see my ID if I even look at the poker room door, yet im well into my 50's??? and never have i ever been offered a drink while playing!! nor have i ever won there, the energy you and outhers put out into the atmosphere is what materializes in environment. the last 2 night ive had quite the pleasure, due to no availabilty at the friendlier joints at JB that remain open past 1am. to my suprize they had a new woman, very welcoming and inviting. her name is Dori and despite being burried in dinner duties by her self came to the back room and ASKED IF I WANTED ANYTHING TO DRINK!! ive never been asked that here do you have free drinks for players. sadly she said they just changed that policy they were but recently changed that. she didnt seem to suprized when i told her i had never been offered a free drink ever here. so i paid for one and was very happy with the new attentive service, i won there for the first two times i think ever. and will gladly go there first the next time my wallet is burning. thank you Dori. Paul.“

“Vickie was great server and food was amazing!!“

“I've always had an appreciation for shakes, fries, and a burger. The hazelnut chocolate shake came with an ice cold cup filled with extra shake on the side.

And the burger was cooked juicy and homestyle.
And the fries were delicious. The only thing I observed was not the freshest lettuce but keep in mind im am very critical of my burgers. And it was later in the evening.

I really enjoyed the cleanliness of the dining room and restroom. And the waitress was very attentive and welcoming.

Parking: The turn off can be a tad awkward from the intersection to parking lot but that is totally fine once you get the parking lot. There is plenty of space.

Kid-friendliness: This would be an excellent spot to get dinner with kids. They have old cartoons playing on the t.v.“

“Amazing Food and great people that work to bring you this great experience“

“Met friends for an early morning breakfast and was very pleasantly surprised. Service was really great. Ordered the two eggs, bacon and french toast. For the price might be the best breakfast I've had in months! Place was clean, service was fast and friendly. Way to go Denny's!“

“I don't know why I gave the atmosphere 3 I think it's because it seems kind of outdated. However the service and food completely make up for it. The house bloody Mary is the best I've had in a long time. $6.50 nice price as well. 👍👍👍“
