About Roake's

Roake's, a remodeled diner, serves top-notch food with a focus on classic American fare. The restaurant features a 50's atmosphere that enhances the dining experience, complete with old school music playing in the background. Their famous Coney Sauce is a must-try, paired with burgers, hot dogs, or as a dip for fries. The menu includes a variety of options, such as a vegetarian choice and a "chili boat," which is a customer favorite.

Roake's has been a cherished spot for many, with a history that dates back to the original location in Milwaukie. Visitors appreciate the excellent customer service, which is friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Many enjoy the quick service and hot food, especially during the 'Happy hour' menu. The small fry is noted to be generous enough for sharing among three people, and the real potato skin fries are a hit. The famous wimpy burger is huge, and the 11” Coney Island dog comes with a basket of fresh cut fries for just $10. It's important to remember that Roake's is cash only, but the nicer facility and larger fry sizes make it worth the visit. Out-of-town guests should definitely include this restaurant in their exploration of Portland history, as it stands out in an area where there are not many attractions.
