50 Best American Restaurants near Washougal

“My wife and I had a wonderful dinner. She ordered the chicken strips and I had the steak. Both were properly cooked and appealing. Staff was friendly starting with the greeting as we came in. It was a weekday so it was rather empty and peaceful at the time. Background music was pleasant. We learned about then from their sponsorship of Outlaw Country music radio. Our only suggestion may be adding more decorations to give it a more distinctive character. (She made me add this. :-) ) We look forward to coming back again.“

“Good food, excellent, friendly service.“

“This place gives you a TON of food. Some reviews say they don't give you enough, which is absolutely absurd! One entree is enough for two people easily.

The staff is incredibly nice, and the food is good and comes out very fast. We ordered takeout for 4 the other day and paid $35, which is insanely cheap in 2024. I recommend ignoring the overly negative reviews, I think those people must just be generally unhappy about life.“

“The service is excellent, the food is delicious and the place is cozy and familiar. Everything is clean. ☺️👍🏻. 🥪🍳🥘🥗“

“Dining in the dark was worth the experience but the food was disappointing.“

“Best burger 🍔 ever. Amazing“

“Walked by this place a bunch of times and can’t believe I didn’t know about this gem of a place. The country fried steak was phenomenal. Seasoned and crispy, and was served on top of the gravy! First time I’ve seen that. The real winner was the home fries. Made me feel like I was back in my hometown diners in CT. So wonderful. Our server was the nicest lady, I’ll absolutely be back.“

“Great food, especially brunch/lunch menu on Saturday and Sundays. Benedict’s are delicious, Beignets with toffee drizzle are so good!“

“I love this place, everyone is so nice to me.“

“wonderful dj , perfect bartenders, lovely customers. comfortable perfect place to meet fantastic new people“

“This location is very consistent and everybody works hard. Manager is incredibly on top of it and everything is always looking pristine. They are excellent about checking in with dine-in customers while they eat and I never feel neglected. I am a very regular customer and this is true every time I come. I love this location!“

“Nice enough place... Almost like a bar you can bring your kids to? Not a lot of places to get a hot dog and they have a full menu of big Costco sized dogs for a not unreasonable amount of money. I had the burger on Texas toast and it came with fries for $13, however some of the hot dogs were $12-13 which is good if they came with fries but they don't, they come with chips, fries are 4 more dollars and are grocery store variety crinkle cuts... Not sure why the burger is cheaper than a hot dog... The burger was pretty good. My family seemed to enjoy their hot dogs. We had a couple beers that were good but not cheap by any means. It's not overpriced but the place has kind of a bargain feel, I think I would have liked it more it was like a "wow that was cheap experience". If you're gonna charge $12-13 for a hot dog include fries or maybe a 2 dollar upcharge 4 bucks is too much for a hand full of crinkle cuts. Lottery cheapens the place a bit and makes it feel more like a bar than it should. It's not a bad place.

Kid-friendliness: Kids allowed and there are some arcade games.“

“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.“

“Best burgers, best garlic tots, best service, best owner‼️♥️‼️ It was my first time in thanks to my son and I’m very impressed and definitely coming back❣️💪🏼❣️“

“love the food and being able to sit outside watching the golfers is great..especially when the deer run through the course..service is wonderful“

“Service is fantastic!!
Food is delicious some items seem little higher on the price side.

The mushroom soup is delicious. I would definitely recommend it.

Three Clams had a really delicious sauce. I would get it without the cheese next time.

The chicken (forgot the name) had a really delicious sauce. The rice wasn't soft (way i like it) but still tasty.

Love the fish tank. 20yr puffer. But it's the biggest I've seen in s tank. The baby lion fish was cute. Haha“

“Amazing. My husband and I went there for dinner to celebrate our anniversary recently and the food and cocktails were amazing! It was nice not having to drive to Portland for fine dining! I had the lobster dish and husband had the beef Wellington. Highly recommend!“

“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!!“

“Saturday night Karaoke is fun. Staff is attentive and super friendly 🥰.“

“I've never gotten anything bad there. Usually I get the quesadilla burger or the 2 4 25 steak. I used to get the 6 oz, but they don't have that anymore. They raised it to the eight ounce and added five more dollars on.I was a little disappointed when I saw that but I still wanted the steak.Once I got the sake, it was one of the best eggs I'd ever had. Our waiter Rick was very personable as well“

“We were recommended to visit McMenamins Edgefield while in the Portland area and I'm glad we did! Such an awesome campus full of different bars and restaurants. We ate at the Power Station Pub and it was delicious - loved the space and great service.“

“The best thing you ever did was getting rid of the server named Trina. Trashiest, rudest, most horrible person ever.“

“New menu with remarkable additions to a superb lineup. Exceptional happy hour! Always sensational and remarkably attentive service from the charming, magnetic, and personable bar staff.“

“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!!“

“Gorgeous grounds that you can spend hours walking. This property was formerly a work farm for the local poor. It has been repurposed as a vineyard, hotel, spa, restaurant, bar, golf course and more! There are many events held here but it is absolutely worth a visit even if you don't plan to stay the night. Check out the wine cellar or espresso bar for some great local options, or head inside to the gift shop for some kitschy finds.“

“the long burger was the bomb--this was in the 60's--don't know if same owners ? he had sons. i often think of those burgers“

“Yazzie's is one of the few places that's still around that's been there a long time . It's Nestle back behind camping world and an Arco gas station. It's not a place that you would expect to find elderly people at. You would find people between the ages of 21 to 65 in there. They have karaoke play music trivia before they began with the karaoke the other night. The bartender she just all over the place come on she's very good at what she does. I'd ordered yazzie's A1 cheeseburger and fries. Prices are not any different than what you find anywhere else . The food was fresh, fries are a telltale sign as to the condition of the fryer oil. The fries had a good taste to them. People in there are very friendly (I'm referring to the customers).“

“The food is very delicious and the service was great they are very friendly, very clean place to enjoy the afternoon“

“Very very tasty and just happened to be right around the corner from the jobsite“

“Most importantly, I asked for my burger to be cook very specific, absolutely no pink. I’d rather have my burger burnt than pink. It was cooked to perfection. No pink, and the outer edges were a little crispy, but not burnt. The bartender took my order and listened closely, and the cook delivered. Service was definitely a 5 star review this evening. Thank you“

“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.“
