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“

“Whenever my man and I go out to see our favorite band’s, which is 1-2 times s week and all our friends are there as well…..let the Shenanigans begin, because we all get the party started, because the bands set lists are so good, we can’t stop dancing and grooving….We always have the BEST times of time’s @ M&Ms, no doubt about that……And all the band that play there are some of THE BEST in the PNW…“

“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“

“Cafe Yumm is one of the only places in Vancouver with Vegan options on the menu. Ty is a great guy who will greet you with a genuine smile and a great vibe. The food is delicious I suggest you add pumpkin seeds to the Yumm bowls and grab a bottle of Yumm sauce to go. This is by far my favorite place to eat in Vancouver.“

“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.“

“I tried their brisket...⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5. So good. I just got done eating it and my mouth is watering just thinking how good it was.“

“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.“

“Amazing staff and good food. Nice large homemade burgers 😀“

“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“

“EDIT WARNING: We have been back several times and I would recommend bringing your own water, the water here tastes like it has chemicals in it. Very odd and gross taste.

Food was delicious, just had the fondue and the cheesecake but we approved of both!

Went back and had the ribeye and filet mignon and calamari. Calamari was ok, the steaks were expensive but good not great. Vegetables were almost raw, and hard to eat. Peach lemonade was delicious.

Buffalo wings are a must try! I don't typically like buffalo wings and these are amazing! When they are using the bigger sizes, the smaller ones are not very good. Potato skins didnt have enough toppings.“

“McCraes I hands down my favorite restraunt. Excellent food and friendly staff. Fast service, but not rushed.“

“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!“

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

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

“So, I’ve been here a handful of times since during Covid, and I gotta say, they knock it out of the park every time. That chowder? Must have. I just had some last night. That was leftover from Sunday night, and microwaved. Still phenomenal.“

“Ive always liked Applebees, the family stopped by this location on our car shopping excursion to refill our coffers on a long day. The service was immaculate and top tier. Probably the best service I have experienced in I dont know, 25 plus years of going to different locations in California and Oregon. I would highly recommend this specific location for the homely feel and great service. The food was on point. What else could I ask for?“

“Always wonderful food and service.“

“The food is fresh, high quality, tastes good, plated very well. More like home cooked meal. Customer service is excellent. They take pride in this business.“

“We love Gresham My Bar! Food is usually pretty good but the best part is Ross the bartender! He’s like a good buddy! Very attentive, quick service, remembers our names…. The best!!“

“Been coming here for a couple of years. Nice staff and Lacey does an outstanding job with her menu specials. Laid back atmosphere and great off-street parking.“

“We were treated so good. We keep coming back for thanksgiving breakfast every year“

“Fabulous and consistent, what again? Otra vez! GO NOW“

“Had the best time at their Halloween party last night. The band FooVana was so fun and great crowd! Food was decent and I’ve had better there in the past. Pizza’s are great here.“

“I love the historic feeling of the place. Rooms are very special and talk about a specific person who played a role in the farm. Grounds are fantastic. You don't need to go anywhere, you have it all in one place, pub restaurant, theater, winery, distillery, you name it.“

“They do specials all the time! Yum! That cocktail they call "tea" is strong, but taste so good! The clam chowder on Fridays are the best!“

“Delicious food. great atmosphere and the services was awesome. only one person working out front and he was on it, making sure everyone was taken care of“

“Local family owned watering hole with homemade eats from breakfast to lunch and dinner! Local craft beers on draft and friendly bartenders!“

“Alex's Bar is a friendly place where you can enjoy good food and beverages. I adore the bar staff. They are the best.“

“great staff good food good vibes! If you like live music and dancing this is the venue to be at Thursday thru Friday for 80's to the newest rock and Sundays for the 50 + crowd. great local bands Lip Bomb Andy Madsen PDX Transit Authority and more.“

“Very comforatable and relaxing with a kool and quite place to here your self think and have a beverage without that loud annoying drunk that never shuts down which has forced me to take my business else where alot of the time..bartenders seam to always have the time for you as well....amagine that“

“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.“

“We attended McMenamin’s Wassail Cider fest in January so we wanted to try more of their ciders and this is what popped up online. We got the cider flight and the red wine flight, both of which were really good. However, the wine flight they gave us 2 of the 4 glasses, then told us to come back to the back for the other 2, which was a bit weird and honestly I wasn’t a fan of. The service was also pretty lackluster, it was walk up service, which seems to be pretty common in the PNW so we’ve grown accustomed to it, but when its walk up service, I expect a little more when I do come to the bar to order. There were two employees, a blonde woman that I’d guess was in her 20s and a middle aged gentleman. The woman was very nice and enthusiastic and seemed eager to help, but the man seemed like he was doing everything he could to avoid serving guests; when I returned to the bar for the second half of our wine flight, he noticed me, but proceeded to drink water, pace around, look in the storage closet, take a step towards me, turn around, take his sweatshirt off, look around again, then finally came up. As a bartender myself, it seemed like all the things that someone does when they don’t want to help a guest, so they try to waste as much time as possible until another co-worker comes to help them. The vibe was pretty cool being in the basement with glass windows all around so you could see the wine barrels, but it was a bit too dark in my opinion, which made it seem kind of dingy being in the basement. I also wasn’t a fan that when you walk in, there are no signs or menus, just brochures advertising other McMenamin’s properties, and the bar is very small with standing room only and very crowded. It reminded me of a busy college bar where I had to fight through to order drinks, but in this case I had to do that just to see a menu, let alone order a drink; not exactly the experience I want from a tasting room. Overall though, it was still unique experience and I’m sure it would be really cool to stay on property, but I don’t think I’d go 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.“

“Elevator Coffee in NE Portland was recently named the best coffee in the United States. Never tried it, so I ordered a couple bags of beans and had them shipped to my place. Got a bag of Counterweight Blend and a bag of Lift Blend. Delicious“

“Great place to hang out and relax with friends. Play some games and watch all sports“

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

“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“

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

“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).“

“They hit everything spot on. The server suggested specials based on what we wanted. Service was exceptionally fast and efficient, when though it was very busy they kept up with the pace with ease. Food was excellent, everything cooked to perfection, and the price was too good to be true (thanks to the special suggested by the server). Will come back again“
