Restaurants near Oak Grove

“Delicious and the atmosphere was so clean and inviting! Everyone was friendly! We saw crowds of families, people on a date and teenagers there as well. Truly a great place for everyone!Kid-friendliness: Fast and delicious! Easy to accommodate requests for kiddos.”

“I always seem to find myself wandering in here when I have had a no-good, lousy day. I have left every single time feeling better. The staff here are so kind and thoughtful. I never feel rushed to order, I always end up striking up a great convo with whoever is working, and without a doubt I always walk out feeling so much better than when I walked in. They really do put the neighborhood in neighborhood creamery. This is a classic old fashioned ice cream parlor and family run small business. They source their dairy from local vendors and farmers, they have fun seasonal specials, and they even sell Spumoni ice cream which as an Italian-American, I thoroughly appreciate this hard to find gem of a flavor. Also, can we talk about their ice cream cakes?? Simply the best. My friends and I order them for all of our birthdays. Once I called very last minute because I forgot to place my order and they managed to put together an ice cream cake SAME DAY. First, don't do this to these poor people, order in advance like a sane person. Second, if you do ask for such an absurd request, tip largely. Very largely. Sanity may not be my strong-suit, however forgetfulness is. I called right when they opened and by 5pm I picked up a beautiful and delicious fresh ice cream cake. I will never forget how kind they were about it and how thoughtful they were to ensure our cake didn't melt in transport across town. That cake was the hit of the party as it always is and I will never order ice cream cake anywhere else. (I also make sure to order in advance now)”

“These folks are the heart of the neighborhood. Their breakfast sandwiches are totally hand made— they scramble the eggs in front of ya. And the evening cocktails are absolutely killer. The coffee drinks are sublime. Can’t say enough about how warm and welcoming the owners are.”

“Best pizza around! Clean environment and friendly servers, too. I love supporting small local businesses like this. Give it a try; you won't be disappointed.”

“This has got to be the absolute best coffee shop in Portland. Their drinks are amazing, they have a huge menu, and the barista that I always see working there is the absolute sweetest and most bubbly person I’ve ever met. Definitely recommend this place!!”

Yummy!!Vegetarian options: No meat in these dishes, but full of good taste.Dietary restrictions: Let them know, what ya need, they will follow along, to fulfill your requested needs.Parking: Harder to get a spot during their busier dinner times, but otherwise, no parking issues.Kid-friendliness: Kid's friendly, atmosphere, in the main restaurant dining room.Wheelchair accessibility: Curbside up to the doors, are flat, up to the doors, for the wheelchair access needs.”

“I grew up going here and had to go back on a recent trip home, it was such a pleasant surprise to see the bright and airy remodel, it looks so good! I've always been a fan of their food, the perfect crispy and sweet deep fried goodness you can't help but love. They've also added some new things to the menu too! We got the family style dinner special and it was even better than I remembered.Vegetarian options: The salt and pepper tofu is AMAZING”

“Great place to unwind ... machines seem to hit here more often which is good for the pockets ... And between Terri and Mandi the bartender attendants the service is on time an awesome.... Food.Beer.VPoker is a mix of good times and helps the spirits heal from the negative BS ...??”

“I love this place my 2 favorite bartenders are Craig and Lacy they are very good at what they do they treat everyone the same and I like that. I go there just to see them keep up the good work it's become a great place to kick it for a couple hours thank you Gina ChapmanParking: There are plenty 9f spots to park your car ,motorcycles and bikes also it's animal friendly so if you have dog with you they won't turn you away he is welcome out front they will even give you a bowl of water and shut the gateWheelchair accessibility: Very large door openings so wheelchairs can get in.”

“Cynthia is amazing at her job, yet a bartender who takes no guff. Despite her “resting bar face” - when she smiles at you? It is genuine and makes one feel truly seen.The food is unlike any hole-in-the-wall bar you will visit. Who doesn’t want breakfast all day?? More people should frequent this Oak Grove hidden gem”

“Stopped by here on a Sunday evening for dinner. There was a large poker tournament going on in the back with a few patrons in the bar area either eating or playing games. Bartender was incredibly friendly and wanted to make sure we got our food orders in before the poker group did so we wouldn’t have to wait.Even though I felt the food and drinks came in a timely fashion the bartender still apologized repeatedly and thanked us for our patience. Will definitely return here just because of the great service.”

“Just left this Starbucks. I drove my husbands ford truck and got stuck because the driveway is so narrow, I had to get out and ask the employee for some help. The manager I think he said his name is zack came outside in the rain and totally guided me around and helped me. He was so nice- it was embarrassing on my end. He was super nice and didn’t make me feel stupid. He even paid for my drinks even though I’m the one who got stuck. Anyways, what great customer service. Very much appreciated ?”

“Great atmosphere, and stage as well as the sound system. The bar tender was friendly and attentive. Highly recommend coming here for a good time. They also do comedy shows which I will be checking out next time, and karaoke every Thursday!”

“Innovative French cuisine in the style of Le Pigeon.Le Pigeon presents adventurous French-inspired cuisine, characterized by its unique creativity and originality. Enjoy a diverse selection of wines in the intimate setting of its East Burnside Street location in Portland.Their Chef's Tasting Menu promises a complete journey with nine courses, starting from amuse-bouche to petits fours.The dishes are visually appealing, almost like paintings on plates!I was impressed by the friendly and excellent full service, as well as the quality and flavors of the dishes.”

“Han Oak comes with high praise and I had really high expectations about dinner.Banchan - the OTA beancurd dish was great, simply because the beancurd was just outstanding. Tastes like a creamy soy burrata - just makes me wanna go to OTA tomorrow! Appreciate that they did a simple chilli-vinegar dressing on it. Just let the star ingredient shine!The kimchi was a little underwhelming. Not much balance of heat, salt and acid… just alot of acid. I wonder if it would fare better with longer fermentation.The corned beef soo yuk is awesome - I can see the chef’s brilliance here. Great interpretation of a traditional dish. The thinly sliced fatty beef goes great with sliced veg. Great texture and flavour. The yuzu packs a punch and makes the corned beef work so well here… while not overwhelming the broth, which is just awesome - save it so you can have it with the rice later. This dish is 5star!Perhaps the gimbap is just not a dish that allows the chef to show his/her finesse and skill. Beef and pork were cooked and seasoned nicely tho the rest of the ingredients basically needed no cooking - a basic pickle, saute or served fresh.Personally, I feel a gimbap tastes way better in a roll cos the mouthfeel of a well packed roll - when you bite into the various flavours and the texture/ crunch just bursts in your mouth - is simply lost when deconstructed.Bingsu - it’s pretty standard fare tho here’s a suggestion… this would be way better if the pineapple and mango toppings were on top - as they usually are. Not hidden at the bottom.I thk it was gojucharu sprinkled on top - that does nothing for bingsu on its own. Well… maybe if there was more condensed milk, that could work. But chilli powder on ice? Hmm.Tho when you dig down to the fruity flavours at the bottom, then you can tell why the combi works. A clever twist on mango with spice but lost in the order of presentation.Tip - dig in quickly without toppling the bingu mountain! Small tweak that would hugely improve the experience.Maybe the chef was trying to turn the bingsu on its head creatively.. but I thk the usual way fares better.Good service with chirpy staff. May come back when they have a different menu and would recommend you to consider that.”

“It was truly an amazing experience. Everything was delicious. The staff was awesome. Everyone was friendly. Every dish was better than the last. The twice cooked pork, amazing. The PLAINTAIN BRIOCHE BUNS, delicious and full of flavor. Wish we'd had two servings. The peanut, creamed greens are full of subtle flavor that builds and builds. The smoked ribs ranked among the best grilled beef I've ever had. The BLANCMANGE, with coconut custard, might be the best thing we had. It's a rare experience where we talked about what we want to try next time as we were driving home. Both of us are looking forward to going back again! Oh, and their drinks are amazing as well. Their Hearthfire was filled with flavor and heat! Delicious!”

“Just had one of the best experiences of my life at Lilia. Do yourself a favor and do NOT miss the tasting menu, which rotates weekly. It was an incredible value, and more importantly there was not one single disappointing dish in the 8-course lineup. Some stand outs were the amberjack crudo in aguachile: the fish was incredible and cut so pretty, and the aguachile was just the brightest and tastiest i’ve ever had. The quesadilla with huitlacoche, sprouting broccoli and marinated radish: never having tried huitlacoche I was shocked at how decadent and rich it tasted… every flavor in the dish worked like magic with the others. The pork collar: as soon as I touched a piece of the pork collar confit it fell apart under my fork, cooked to perfection. Like the carnitas of your dreams. And the chocolate & salted hazelnut tart with kumquats: probably the most interesting combinations of flavors and textures in any dessert I’ve tried… the kind of experience that’s just delightful every time you take another bite. Every dish was just a surprising explosion of flavors and beauty. This is exciting food. Absolutely no letdowns with the service (every staff member was enthusiastic and knowledgeable) and the ambience as well, but the food is truly mind-blowing.Vegetarian options: Every ingredient is treated like the star in these dishes, which means the vegetarian dishes were a burst of flavor, spice and texture. I had the roasted fennel with fennel harissa and the white asparagus with salsa pipián, pickled rhubarb and morel mushrooms and both were just excellent.”

“I've heard so much about this ice cream, so I'm glad I finally got to try it.I really appreciate that they let you do half scoops so I could try more flavors. My husband and I split a double scoop waffle cone with:- Passionfruit Yuzu Mochi Donuts & Whey Curd- Pear & Blue Cheese- Arbequina Olive Oil- Strawberry Honey Balsamic with Black PepperFirst off, this is the only place I have been with waffle cones as good as Jeni's, which was a pleasant surprise.Weird flavors are right up my alley, so I was in heaven. The strawberry balsamic was hands down my favorite because the flavor was so intense. The passion fruit one would be my second choice.I would happily come back, but there are many other places I want to try while we're in Portland too. Too much ice cream to try is quite the problem to have.”

“One of favorite breweries. A hidden jewel of the Portland beer scene. High quality beer in a wide variety of traditional styles and some innovations. Chill and friendly vibe. Dog friendly. Worth going off the beaten path to have a pint or two.”

“Come here for the happy hour and stay for all the foods on the menu. Smoked mussel dish was to die for, Oysters are naturally delicious but the sauces here are amazing especially that green fish sauce, I’d bottle that and sell that immediately! Server was amazing and wish I knew their name so I can shout them out. I didn’t order it but $90 for a tasting per person is just too inexpensive for that quality and amazingly tasty dishes. Just want another shout out for the mussel dish on there March 18th menu. Dish will always be in my mind.”

“Incredible dinner! Definitely a top five dining experience in Portland. Everything was delicious from the martinis, salads and main dishes. Highly recommend the beet and grapefruit salad, octopus, and steak.”

“The best pizza I’ve had, and I eat pizza a lot. We had the pepperoni and the garlic arugula pizza and my friend and I kept just saying how good it was. It’s the kind of pizza you feel like you should keep talking about but you come up short everytime you try.”

“My husband and I visited this past weekend and everything was amazing. The food was great, the bartender Jesse (hope I spelled that correctly lol) was BEYOND great, and the atmosphere was very calming and inviting. I can’t wait to visit again.”

“My son and daughter in law chose this venue for the reception following their wedding. We had a group of less than 20 people in the private dining room. Fantastic experience. Everyone at the restaurant was helpful on coordinating setup prior to the event. The appetizers, cocktails, entrees and desserts all received rave reviews from the wedding guests. Service was on point and we were extremely pleased with everything. Highly recommended for a small group gathering space (the private room is the perfect size for a group of 20). We will dine here again during our next trip to Portland.”

“Went for cocktails, which were lovely and not crazy expensive. Food, including oysters and a small plate of cheese ended up costing over 70 per couple averaging three drinks for two. Great environment. Nice staff. Just seemed pretty pricey for food. But, who am I kidding? I never go out anymore!”

“I saw the raving reviews so wanted to check this place out. The bahn mi is good bulgogi has good flavor. The meat is pretty chewy though, and I would say the combo definitely is not worth the extra 5 bucks. I'd stick to the sandwich. The service was pretty quick and the lady was very nice. It's a small hole in the wall location. I would however avoid this area after about 5/6pm. This area is home to many people whom reside outside lol. As someone who has been to almost every bahn mi place in Portland I will say comparing to best baguette, bahn mi fresh, and a few other bahn mi places i think killer bahn mi is the best! But it is quite spendy for a bahn mi. You pay for it in the amount of meat they give you but still. If you like this kind of bahn mi I'd recommend also checking out an xuyen bakery. It's this little bakery on like 51st and foster but they have some of the biggest bahn mis I've ever had for 1/2 the price.”

“I have lived in Morocco and been traveling there since the 1970s. my lunch yesterday at Kasbah Moroccan Cafe was undoubtedly the best Moroccan food I have eaten in the US. The food was delicious and authentic. Portions were generous. While we had to eat outside due to Covid, we could see that the inside of the cafe was attractively done in Moroccan style. The owner was very friendly. My son-in-law is Moroccan and he loved the food as well. I unreservedly recommend this place and will make a point of eating there next time I visit Portland.”

“A unique touch on Mexican which tasted fantastic. First time eating out dinner in Portland and no regrets.The service was amazing and the waiters knew the menu very well. Definitely a place worthy of booking!We ordered the full menu and every dish was very well plated. The chicken and the birria were the highlights for me but worthy of trying the entire menu!”

“Highly recommended by locals and it didn’t disappoint. I enjoy sours and that’s what brought me here. The large selection of beers is fantastic! I enjoyed a flight of 5 different beers and the bartender gave me a taste of a seasonal one to boot. I was visiting from Alabama for the weekend and I am so glad I was directed to this brewery! The area had great shopping too. Cool local stores nearby.”

“I mean wow, so good. So incredibly good! I didn't realize that Plumb is the kitchen located inside of the bar (Deadshot). It was my first time experiencing something like this (maybe I need to get out more) and it was incredible. The food is made to order so patience is key but luckily theres an amazing bar with handcrafted cocktails to enjoy while you wait. We arrived right at 4pm on Saturday evening and were promptly greeted and seated. We opted for a seat right at the bar. I ordered a red wine and my husband ordered a Deadshot. Then we placed our food order. We ordered the cesar salad, grilled cabbage, burger and steak frites and everything was so incredibly good. Fresh, decadent, perfectly cooked and ever so tasty. Of the items we tried, the cabbage dish was our favorite. I've never had cabbage with bechamel, apples and hazelnuts. It was simply divine! Highly recommend checking this place out!”
