Family Restaurants near Portland, OR

“We had one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in years at this restaurant. After a long day of walking, we arrived with our kids—ages 3 and 5—tired, cranky, and full of energy. From the moment we walked in, the service was nothing short of outstanding.

Every member of the staff—from the host to the bartender to our server—went out of their way to make us feel welcome and at ease. They were genuinely kind, patient, and completely unphased by our feral kids. It was clear they not only tolerate children, but understand them.

Without us even asking, the staff offered to bring the kids’ meals out first, provided toys to keep them entertained, and even cut the crusts off their sandwiches. The extra attention to detail made all the difference—our kids have never cleaned their plates so well.

The food was equally impressive. Both my wife and I had delicious meals—well-prepared, flavorful, and clearly made with care. We left full, happy, and incredibly grateful. It’s rare to be able to finish meals with preschoolers in tow.

If you’re looking for a restaurant that welcomes families with genuine warmth and delivers excellent food and service, this place is a gem. We’ll absolutely be back.“

“I have been going to Airport Cafe since Sue took over the Buisness. I usually eat breakfast mostly when I am near the airport . Some lunches but it’s always breakfast my favorite meal. I have had bacon Crispy hashbrowns. Great eggs over easy and some of the best sourdough toast I have eaten anywhere . Food always fresh and cooked to perfection. Stop by and visit Airport Cafe you will be amazed on how full the dining room is on each meal time there are regulars and new comers . Check out daily specials always something great on menu.“
