Restaurants near Amboy

“OMG!!! It had been soooo long!!! Nick's (we always called it Nick's Tavern back in the day) was - for better or for worse - the focal point of my social/exterior life forty-something years ago before, during, and after all the things that surrounded the eruption of St. Helens. I had not been back in the bar since my wife (who I first met in Nick''s so many years ago) and I moved away in 1987.

I really need to give a 5-star shoutout to the Nick's staff for the May 18 Forest Service get-together. The work of the Nick's staff on Sunday, May 18. 2025, was Just Simply Amazing....

...now, on to the review...

While I can't speak to the bar food quality between 1987( when I left the Amboy area) and now, nothing seems to have changed between the 80's (aka...back in the Good Ol' Days) and now. The burgers are excellent; my Chili Dog was delicious; the French fries for all the meals were exceptional; the Chili was Superb. Given the size of the crowd that descended on Nick's on a Sunday morning, the waitstaff on hand was simply incredible.”

“Daughter’s brought me tacos today from this truck. Flavor is perfect. Only problem was they only brought me two. I could have eaten six.”

“This is the best sushi Restaurant in Battle Ground. The food and service is unmatched by others. The Owner and staff here are super friendly and helpful. If you have kids, their outdoor patio is great for family get together.”

“I met a friend for dinner at the Pita House this evening and we had a GREAT experience! The owner/ staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming and went over and above to ensure we had a great meal (an 11/ 10 for sure!!) The food was plentiful and delicious. I had the Pita House Special with chicken, and it was oh so good!!!! We even received a complimentary piece of baklava! I really cannot say enough good things about this place...I will definitely be back. Thank you!!”

“Stopped by here after Taekwondo one evening and we were not disappointed! My daughter and I loved the atmosphere, the service, and most importantly the food. We got our food to-go and it did not compromise the flavor or texture of anything at all. The side dishes of the Japchae, Kimchi, and Corn Slaw went so well with the main dishes. I cannot wait to come back for more of the chicken, and to try the rest of the menu!”

“Excellent, fresh, delicious food! From the Nigiri to the Sashimi, Sushi, Poke Bowl and Donburi.
The service is excellent every time (This is my third time here).
The atmosphere is warm, and relaxing with soft, quiet music playing in the background.

Highly recommend!”

“Never drank coffee until I moved to the PNW”

“Great food, they start of with the best salsa I've had at a restaurant. Then the staff is always attentive even when they are full of people. Service is very quick as well and everything tastes so fresh! Great place to be with amazing atmosphere.”

“Great family atmosphere, friendly staff. I love Tukes!”

“Super friendly staff with a welcoming energy and atmosphere. Perfect BG location to meet up with friends or small social groups.”

“I never knew this place existed until we went to have pizza and they were closed and dad said let’s go have Mexican. Great food great service and great drinks.”

“Wonderful, family run business. excellent selection of wines. Fabulous food and exceptional service!”

“I was looking for gourmet pizza for my Christmas party. So I ventured to Detroit Pizza from Vancouver. I ordered an individual pepperoni and sausage just to try it. Even in that smaller size I could completely tell that the quality, from a usual crust full of flavor to fresh amazing cheese and topics, is exceptional!! Plus for my party they’ll provide U-bake pizzas!! I get to choose my done time for the party!! Can’t wait! You gotta try it!”

“Best coffee hands down!!! My go to coffee shop for all my caffeine needs!”

“Always a great time at Emanar! Amazing wine and food.”

“So yummy!!! Will be back soon 💕”

“The food was excellent, and so was the service. The fries are so crisp and cooked just right. They even have a great Greek menu! I had the chicken/hummus pita, which was delicious and the pita was soft, warm, and fresh. My husband, who is picky about his hamburgers, loved the one they serve here.”

“The gluten free selections are amazing. Came in the other day and had the Carmel Nougat square. It was like a Kit Kat and Twix combined. It was amazing. I Highly recommend.”

“Great food and AMAZING service!! The best service I've ever experienced at a restaurant. The servers were smiling and standing nearby, waiting for any possible need or request.”

“Food was absolutely delicious and the owner and staff were so friendly. We had teriyaki chicken, orange chicken and pot stickers. Everything was so flavorful and scrumptious! Can’t wait to come back for more. Thank you Rising Sun! God bless you all!”

“Rich was incredibly welcoming and even let us taste a couple things before ordering! I'm usually a very simple food type, but holy wow, those pork ribs are delicious!!!! The cornbread♡ the beans (spicy for me, but Chad loved em!) and he loved Grandma recipe collard greens! WELL worth the drive out here! We will be back!”

“Never disappointed with anything we have ordered. Especially the homemade goodies.”

“This place never disappoints! We’ve had a variety of drinks here and every one of the drinks were delicious! A bonus is definitely the online ordering, pick up is fast and easy! Only downside is the day the shop is closed is on a Tuesday, that’s an odd day to be closed. Maybe I’m salty as I sit here on a TUESDAY craving my usual and not being able to have it cause the shop is closed today! lol shop and employees are great!”

“Great Food and Excellent service. Pad Thai very good not dry like some other Thai restaurants. I was pleased to find Pumpkin Curry on the menu. I will definitely go back”

“This place has such a great vibe, the workers are always so friendly even under pressure, they get sooo busy and always do their best!!! They have the best breakfast sandwiches! And I love their drinks too, I highly recommend visiting them 🥰”

“Food was good. My tea was excellent however the young woman in the front never smiled and barely talked, no personality. The place is clean but the dead plant and the unkept front yard make this place not look very appealing. Could be really cute. Kind of sad because it wouldn’t take much work to clean it up. Owned a business for 27 years and I’d find a different position for your front girl and hire someone who is friendly. People come in for return business when they feel welcome.”

“Wonderful food and friendly service”

“I love this place so much! The team go above and beyond for making a great experience their food tastes amazing.”

“Best pizza ever and very friendly bartender/waitress.”
