40 Best American Restaurants near Portland

“Destiny did a super job, glad she is there.“

“Best hamburgers ever.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pep’s Mexican Steakhouse went above and beyond for my daughter’s 19th birthday! They were able to accommodate a last-minute reservation for around 35 people, and when we arrived the area was already cleared and prepared for us with staff on standby ready to assist. The food was absolutely amazing, and the customer service was top-notch—patient, courteous, and so attentive. I am beyond grateful for the wonderful service and experience we had celebrating such a special day. Thank you all for doing such an amazing job! Highly recommend!“

“We’ve enjoyed Chilis for over 40 years and Portland location does Chilis well. Thanks for that. If you like Chilis stop buy. ✌️“

“Had lunch at Hardknocks Sport Grill today and had the best service possible from the server Jasmine. Every time I've been there for lunch this young lady is aways on her game. She super with the customers and get everyone order correct. You can have a party of 2 or a party of 10, she one of the best waitresses you could ever asked for. Jon.“

“Tried the “Banging Burger” because my server suggested it and said it had a nice kick, but I really wanted sautéed mushrooms and onions on it and they said they could make it happen. It was honestly pretty good, the fries were crispy and fresh and the burger was nice and flavorful. Definitely get it again soon.“

“I had lunch there today it eas wonderful. The waiter gave a great service and suggestions.“

“Great wait staff and the food is so delicious! They never disappoint!“

“We stayed at the Doubletree from the 6th thru the 11th of Sept. Tim, Samantha, Chris the Cook were the most wonderful staff. They went above & beyond to make our visit top notch. We also had the pleasure to meet Jackie & Michael. They ALL WERE GREAT. They made sure we had everything we needed. The food was so good, we ate there for every meal except twice. Please go visit these great people and have a meal, you want be disappointed. Thanks Eighteen 18 Bar for being such great people. We will see yall next time. Sonya & Bret Hurst from Burleson TX“

“The food is very delicious!, super good seasoning! excellent service!, and quite reasonable prices!
The only thing that doesn't help the business is the unpleasantness of all the homeless people hanging around outside.
And they leave garbage and belongings thrown outside.“

“3.7/5 Nothing special. Just your usual slightly above average restaurant. If you're visiting CC or in the area, I see no reason why to not go if you're able to.

The fried chicken burger was good
Will I go again? Maybe... really just depends...

Prices are also fair.“

“Great atmosphere, excellent drinks, food and service. Myranda is my favorite! 10 ⭐️“

“feels like your at a friend's house for lunch ☺“

“☆☆☆☆☆☆
Here today; gone TAMALE! Best tamales in town (so far). These sell out fast prior to holidays, especially Christmas. Regular pork are our favorites. Spicy are too hot. Just the perfect balance of masa & meat filling. Only tamales sold here (not a restaurant) & priced right. Sold by the dozen for pick up only.“

“Portis Kountry Kitchen is hands-down one of the best spots for true Southern comfort food. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and fried to golden perfection—crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The meatloaf was absolutely amazing—tender, flavorful, and smothered in just the right amount of sauce. Every bite felt like it was made with love. If you’re looking for a place that feels like home cooking, this is it. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Wow- great casual atmosphere with amazing service from a team of dedicated folks that seem to care about everyone. On the water, breezy, live music, super cocktails, and delicious food. Everyone seemed to be treated like a VIP. Truly a great EXPERIENCE and the experiences in life matter!“

“Great food and fast service.“

“our server Brian was the best. He had an amazing attitude. The manager was awesome as well. The food was to die for. I got the eggs Benedict and the brisket sandwich with the stack of pancakes. I will be coming back.“

“I am a local wedding planner and recently coordinated a wedding there. It was an amazing experience! Casey, the manager, was so accommodating and helpful! The chef, Jackson, made an incredible meal that the guests raved over. I highly recommend BUS's event space! I can't wait to work with them on another event!“

“Brisket was flavorful and very tender“

“Great seafood and crystal was an excellent waitress“

“Great place to have a good time and eat“

“Delicious amazing BBQ food! Absolutely fantastic service inside as well! I will be back! I had the brisket baked potato! It was perfectly cooked and to die for!“

“I was honestly surprised at how amazing the food is! Wow!“

“My wife's eyes were too big for her stomach, so I got to enjoy my meal and half of hers. She had the shrimp AND the redfish tacos. I had the Tiki Redfish plate. Everything I ate was DELICIOUS! They come with a delicious sauce and a salsa but they don't need them. The kids enjoyed their lame cheeseburgers (they weren't lame, I just don't like when we go to a great seafood spot and they order burgers). Kristen took great care of us and we all left satisfied and ready for a nap! Thank you, Harrison's!“

“Delicious Sirloin Steaks !! Fresh crisp salads and the dinner rolls are sinfully Devine!!!!“

“Todo chicken Alfredo yumi“

“We have been multiple times, and the food is always great. Tonight everything looked and tasted SUPER EXCELLENT! Cathy's Boutique always has amazing finds, and the tour boats provide a memorable experience for individuals and families or friends. There are so many wonderful team members -- from the hosts and waitstaff, to the chefs and bussers working behind the scenes. (and don't forget about the amazing food available in the Mariner, up the stairs from the Boutique)“

“Great place! Great food and drinks! And above all GREAT atmosphere!“

“Fantastic experience at Fajitaville recently after we had a day trip to the aquarium. The service was awesome and we even had the owner or manager come up to our table to ensure we were satisfied. The kids got to play in the sand right in front of our table looking out at the beach. The server checked on us frequently for drink refills. The downstairs bathroom was a little messy with the trash can overflowing from what looked like customer trash like tags off of recently purchased clothing etc. besides that everywhere else in the restaurant was clean. The table next to us left half way through us being there and they bussed the table quickly to keep the seagulls away. We will definitely be back soon! If you haven’t been recently give them a try! It was a great experience with new ownership!!“

“Fantastic Angus Burger - and well priced too. The Fries were PERFECT; hot, thick and spiced just right. I can’t believe this place wasn’t packed; it’s right on the Gulf in the Holiday Inn. Lupita was an excellent server too! I’ll be back!!“

“The view was amazing, the food was top shelf, delicious in every way, the service was professional and courteous, it was not busy which made for a relaxing date night. The temperature was a little cool in the restaurant so it shortened our visit but overall the mixed drinks were amazing and the stuffed flounder and mahi mahi melted in our mouths and were so delicious!“

“I recommend any taquito but especially chicharrones and mollejas!!!! Out of this world!!!! Thank y'all for making my day!!!! ????“

“They are really dog friendly!!!“

“This Mexican restaurant absolutely lived up to their name! When we sat down, we were presentented with not only a spicy salsa but an avocado salsa dip as well. *Disclaimer- IT IS SPICY! Spicy and delicious! We then ordered our main courses, which were the loaded fajitas and smothered chicken. Both were incredible. The fajitas came with a side of beans (pinto, I think) that were to die for! Surprisingly, they were the star of the meal for me! The service was outstanding and we will be stopping by again before heading home!“

“I absolutely 💯 love the Pete's at Port and Horne rd..near my job ..I have only 45 minutes for lunch...theyre fast and efficient..food always hot..not rushed and cold..Fresh...their fish and shrimp are sooo delish...burgers are great..fish burger also...friendly staff...Great service“

“Came in before a crazy breakfast rush, the host had us seated within 5 minutes and our waitress got us situated with drinks and condiments. We had an amazing meal thanks to all the cooks! Even had our plates cleared from the table and let us digest a bit before heading out. This IHOP is my favorite!!“
