10 Best American Restaurants in Troutdale

“They changed their menu and switched over to an egg batter versus the former buttermilk batter. The buttermilk batter chicken tenders were amazing! They brought a sense of nostalgia when biting into the generously-cut, CRISPY, juicy chicken tenders. The buttermilk batter was what made the tenders soo delicious.
Now…they taste like any other place where I’ve had chicken tenders. They’re not bad, just not anywhere nearly as great as their former self. It was disappointing because the crispiness was no longer there, they reduced the portion size, removed most of the delicious dipping sauces but their worst move was switching to an egg batter. Go back to the old buttermilk batter recipe. This is what made Kickin chicken stand out as having the best tenders in Oregon.“

“Our server, Halo, gave exceptional service and the food was great! Very pleasant experience!“

“First time here at Bandits bar and grill, I have heard good things about this place from friends that live in the area and have stopped here when driving I84. First impression is cute bar/restaurant, the bartender/waitress was so welcoming and attentive. Ordered a beer and she advised the special of the day. I ordered a cup of the tri tip chili and the grilled chicken sandwich. The chili is really good! I'd defiantly order this again! The grilled chicken sandwich was good, the bun was perfect! The bar has a large outdoor area with tables set up to sit outside, perfect for evening time when the sun goes down but during the day and the sun is out each table has an umbrella. Over hearing others in the bar, they were loving the food. I will say the food is coming out fast. The only negative comment is AC seemed to maybe not working to blow cooler air but still was comfy. I looked at the Facebook page for bar and I can see why people have a good time here from the pictures post on the page. I will defiantly come back!!“

“We absolutely loved our time at Edgefield Residence. The peaceful setting with breathtaking views of the surrounding greenery and natural landscapes, the kindness of the hosts, and the beautiful rooftop made every moment special. It’s the kind of place that stays in your heart long after you leave.“

“Great place and food. Best customer service, friendly staff. Highly recommend. Will be coming back ☺️“

“The food is OK, even though the beer is great! We ordered the fish and chips and the Aztec salad with fried chicken.

The fish and chips were good, although the portion size for the price was a bit disappointing. The remoulade was great though! The chicken on the salad was done really well, but the salad was kind of meh. Definitely not something that keeps a person coming back. Plus, the prices are high in comparison to other places with more interesting menus. It might be time for McMenamins to freshen up their food offerings.

The atmosphere is typical McMenamins, lots of vintage kitsch. It's cool and I love that they bring new life to old buildings and institutions (literally in this case). Service here was fine.“

“Food is always good. It’s great for a mellow lunch. Evenings are great for the younger crowd. They have pool tables and shuffleboard. It’s separate from an area you can sit and chat and eat in. Drinks are good. No live music or karaoke that I’ve seen but I’m not there all the time either.“

“You want a cool experience? This is the place! You have happening bars, winery, distillery, pool hall and niche spaces for every taste. Great food, service and really helpful and friendly staff. The rooms are unique. No phone or TV but really that not why you come here. The artwork is very Oregon. If you are really lucky there is live concerts and music on weekends. Don’t forget to visit the soaking tub! Within easy reach of Portland, Portland airport and area sightseeing.“

“Always a pleasure to come to Edgefield. And our go to is Black Rabbit. The food is always great and the atmosphere is wonderful. The dining staff is always full of energy. The eggs Benedict is nice, not the best I’ve had but still good. The croissants are really good and the beer is lovely. Although a beer at the power station outside is really nice. Don’t forget to play pool downstairs, too.“

“Hailey, our incredible server, was amazing, knowledgeable, patient, and delightful company! If you get the chance to interact with her, consider yourself a lucky duck. My partner and I each had a different flight and ended up going home with two tasty bottles. I can't wait to come back!!“
