50 Best American Restaurants near Sherwood

“Ordered to-go chicken and waffles, and the turkey BLT. Was ready to go at the stated time. There were a handful of beautiful cakes right at the front, ready to go. The only thing was that it was not packed in a to-go bag but save the environment I guess was the idea. Would have loved some utensils as well. The chicken was some of the best fried chicken that I have found around the metro area. Waffle was pretty good too and the syrup was fantastic. Free street parking right out front and around the area.“

“BECAUSE THEY HELP THE COMMUNITY...“

“Went here for the first time today and was very impressed with the service and the food. The nachos were better than we get in a mexican restaurant! Portions were so generous that we split our appetizer and our clubhouse sandwich. We will definitely return!“

“Love Deb and this place! It’s like the local cheers 🥂“

“OMG! Absolutely fabulous restaurant and great food. Our server, Amber was wonderful in her recommendations for a special birthday lunch. The shrimp & grits are out of the world! Delicious is an understatement, a must have! The French dip was tender and cooked just right! But a must have is the chocolate mint cake! This cake was divinely marvelous and so yummy! Highly recommend this quaint restaurant and kudos to the chef and our fabulous server, Amber! Can’t wait to go back!“

“This chain on Pubs, breweries, historical Inns and quirky events are a one of a kind place. 60 plus locations are all unique in character, but you always know you are at a McMenamins by the decor of each is different but with a similar theme. Mostly the same menu as a whole but individual items specifically to that location' menu changes quarterly.
Sherwood location is a heavily forest feel with lots of wood booths. Always very happy and friendly staff and a very comfortable feel about it. Z little like a British pub this one.
If you have never experienced a McMenamins you need to just do it. You will not be sorry“

“Stopped in to have some burgers. Food was great but the service was outstanding. Aaron our waiter and the other two waitresses, didn’t catch their names, were absolutely fantastic. No waiting on drinks or our food. I appreciate great customer service and that’s what we got!!“

“Damn good burger. Service was exceptional. The gals went outta thier way to get me exactly what I wanted. Meal was delicious. Coffee was PERFECT. Give the cashier a raise, she made me feel at home (11:46am 11/11/22)“

“I'm glad there is still a good family style restaurant with great food and service like IHOP. I do have a drive to get there, but I'm always pleased after I leave. It's worth the extra time. My servers have all been very attentive, pleasant and made good recommendations for me.
Also love all the many choices of meals. Also the deals for us seniors! Thank you. 5 stars all around.“

“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.“

“Tried it today! It was good 👍🏼 the service was excellent and the food came out quickly as well.“

“so, just a disclaimer... I HATE waffles. Absolutely cannot stand them. That being said... I just had the Belgian waffle here, with raspberry puree.... and it was SERIOUSLY delicious!!! Perfect texture, slightly nutty flavor, and the puree was to die for!!!!“

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

“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“

“We visited about a month ago to celebrate a milestone in my career. Savannah was our server and she was AMAZING. She was so friendly and went above and beyond to acknowledge my accomplishment. They brought me a card signed by the staff and a really pretty dessert. They better hang on to her! In general the food was amazing and the ambiance was great. We didn't have to wait too long for a table. All in all would go back and recommend to a friend.“

“Lake Oswego delivers flawlessly consistent hospitality and culinary quality in every way, every time. From, greeting to seating through service and dining this team rises to high expectations and it is we the diners who benefit! Special shout-out to Bran for his friendly, well paced, impeccable service. The back of the house team thanks for the perfectly dressed and chilled salads and three grilled salmon orders where every element of the plate was prepared, presented and delivered perfectly. Wonderful experience ending with four team members wishing us well on the way to the exit, a full waiting to be seated entry for many a reason!“

“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.“

“Me and my wife have been coming in to Davidsons FrostTop since it reopened, and i will have to say the steak bites, potato skins, are fantastic. so far we have yet to have bad food here. I also have had their hamburgers. they let me custom order my hamburger the way I want it. I would recommend stopping in and give them a try. they also have adult drinks which is a nice change. super friendly staff and great atmosphere. we will of course come back.“

“Water served in repurposed wine glasses, Chandon mimosas for the whole table, the best Oregonian salmon Benedict on the west coast!? This place is the real deal.. def consider a stop for brunch if you’re in the Portland area!“

“We visited Bullwinkle’s in January and had a really fun time overall. We spent the day bowling, playing in the arcade, and grabbing a meal there. The bowling was definitely the highlight—everyone had a great time, and it was a perfect activity for our group.

The arcade was also a lot of fun with plenty of games to choose from. Unfortunately, it was too cold for the go-karts during our visit, so we weren’t able to try those, but they looked like they would be a blast in warmer weather.

The food was pretty mediocre, nothing special, but it got the job done and didn’t take away from the experience. Even without the outdoor activities, we still left having had a great time.

All in all, Bullwinkle’s is a fun place for families and kids, especially if you’re looking for indoor entertainment on a cold day.“

“Paradise Restaurant & Lounge offers a stylish and comfortable dining experience with a diverse menu featuring a blend of international and local flavors. The ambiance is inviting, making it great for casual dinners or special occasions. Known for attentive service, flavorful dishes, and a good selection of cocktails, it’s a popular spot for both food and nightlife lovers. Ideal for those seeking a relaxed yet vibrant atmosphere.“

“We had a fabulous dinner last night at the Vintage Room. The views were stunning. Our server, Mariah, was THEE best. Food was delicious, loved the variety of options. Drinks were great. And dessert was super yummy. Thanks for making my boyfriends birthday special, we can’t wait to start making this a regular date night spot.“

“Highly recommend. Best food in Portland! Great staff.“

“Stripes Restaurant was a small food stall on the second floor of the mall in the food court. It sells cheeseburgers, fries, grilled cheese, and chicken strips. I got two medium cheeseburger combos for my little brother and sister, which were about $13 each.“

“Maybe not the best value food wise, but the fact that they have so many options (where else can you get bibimbap and Al pastor tacos) and always good coffee makes it great. But the best part is always the cashier! Always proud to show her latte art even if it’s in a togo cup!“

“The best place for milkshakes, fries, and wings!“

“Friendly atmosphere food is always good service is prompt. Has a Cheers type feel.“

“Wonderful restaurant, the staff is very nice and welcoming. Food was amazinghats off to all the chefs they know how to do it right. Great team you have. Will be back very soon“

“I come to this particular Black Bear every year because it is the one nearest to the hotel nearest to where my dad lives. I go to a Black Bear Diner pretty often, and this one is up to the same high standards as basically all the others I've visited. This visit, however, was not to see my dad but to go to his funeral. It was a really rough day today. I could hardly leave the hotel room. But when I did, and I sat there just reading for a bit over a hamburger, listening to nothing in particular, my waiter was very helpful and attentive despite there seeming to be a lot of people and not enough waiters. He had no way of knowing that today was one of the hardest days in my life. He was kind, attentive, and engaged me in a brief conversation in a natural way without it being forced. I sat for a bit after my meal and had refills for another half hour, until just after closing time. My waiter's name is Ethan. Melissa told me that while she wasn't the manager, I should put a review up online so that my compliment gets back to him. I don't know if I will be back here any time soon. If I am, I will hope to see Ethan, who just did his job and who was genuine.“

“They have the BEST Happy Hour! Our host AND server, Tina, was so attentive and had a positive, energetic personality! She made my husband's birthday special by bringing him not one, but TWO of their special cakes with a HUGE sparkler! It was a great experience for our first time there! Will definitely be back!“

“Celebrated my 33rd Wedding Anniversary with my spouse on 8/7/25. We ordered two braised beef sandwiches, a summer special, with a side of chips, the shrimp arugula salad split for two, AND the tasty, but not too sweet bread pudding!!!! OMG😋Soooo DELICIOUS. I gave all of it a 10/10 and will definitely be back to try more food items!!
Caitlin was our server and did a nice job waiting on us and telling us about the Marketplace Cafe!! It is truly a hidden surprise that is WORTH checking out!!!“

“This was sooooo good! We got the mac and cheese and chicken!! The portions were large too!! I highly recommend. We went on a Saturday evening, so we had a long wait (one guy working), but it was worth the wait. (Next time, I'll order, run an errand and come back.) The owner was busting his butt and quite friendly. Overall, really great!“

“A group of us met there for a lunch meeting yesterday afternoon. The customer service was better than some of the high end restaurants I have eaten at. The staff went out of their way to answer questions, anticipate our needs and make sure we were taken care of. I rarely write reviews but this group of people deserve the time it takes to do this.“

“Good place and consistent. However this last time I ordered a wrapped hot and jazzy with chicken. Guy asked if I needed a fork and I said no, it’s a wrap and I’ll use my hands. Then I get this thing! Still tastey but what even is this? Lol“

“We sat in the bar and bartender was great but definitely needed help. He had every table full and then a big party(20) people waiting for their table getting drinks…I realize it’s hard to find people to work but you really need two people working in the bar. Thankfully we were patient and didn’t mind, but other people wouldn’t have been. Also the host took his time clearing a table for us…. He visited with another gal doing to go orders for 10 min. Before he cleared a table for us“

“This was our first time here and certainly won't be the last. The ambiance, service and cuisine made for a marvelous evening. We enjoyed decadent salads (Swiss Chef and Beets with gorgonzola) The dessert was divine, and like our salads, the portions were generous and the quality of ingredients were excellent. We feasted on a double berry tart a la mode. its presentation was photo worthy. All food had an artistic presentation. We were so impressed 👏“

“Food is fantastic. Taco’s are to die for. Burritos are on point. You won’t regret the visit.“

“Great salads and divine drinks!“

“This place has the friendliest staff around! And great drinks to boot....“

“Food was filling and tasted great. I honestly didn’t think I’d be full, but I was. Service was good, just a bit slower since it was really crowded on the weekend. They have lots of food options, the atmosphere is nice, and I really like the building. Definitely recommend checking it out if you haven’t been yet.“

“It's a great little club located at the Holiday Inn Wilsonville ore IDJ on the weekends come join me. #djflyin“
