“I just adore this place and have been fortunate to frequent here a few times. Don't be intimidated or put off by the portions. My strategy is to enjoy all the delicious made from scratch sides, then eat what I want of the meat, and take the rest home. The leftover steak makes great french dip sandwiches. Yes, they have big take-home bags. The atmosphere is rustic and comfortable. The service is friendly and ultra efficient. You will be done with your meal within an hour without feeling rushed. They even have lodging available on site. You have to plan ahead to dine here. They book out a few weeks, and you need to order your meat selection when you make your reservations. A gift shop is on site, and you can also play a game of horse shoes if you have a wait.”

“I always love coming here to check out their newest additions and seasonal flavors! The gelato is delicious, and they let you try them ALL with no complaints! The staff is super knowledgeable about all the options and are super friendly. They also have an espresso machine to serve a couple different coffee options and of course one of those is an Affogato! We ordered americanos because we had some cookies from a local bakery that we were going to enjoy with the gelato (yes, I know, sugar upon sugar…that’s how I roll). The coffee was not the best, but we expected that since it’s a gelato shop, not a coffee shop. I think their machine could use a hood servicing/cleaning as the coffee tasted pretty burnt and bitter. The dining area could really use some love. The furniture isn’t comfortable and definitely not enough seating for when it is busy so don’t be surprised if you have to take your gelato to go. But outside of the interior aesthetics lacking and the coffee not being amazing, this place is a must go!”

“I was in town for the day, killing time before catching my flight home, and Double Dragon was recommended to me. But more specifically, their Bahn Mi. Me oh my what a delicious sandwich it was. That pork belly was ridiculously scrumptious, and my belly was thoroughly satisfied.”

“I really enjoyed this restaurant's interior! Service was great. Food was excellent and we ate every drop. Drinks were delicious. It is worth going a little out of the way if traveling I-5.”

“So this pizza spot is obviously highly ranked already before I even put my 5-star rating in and I'll explain why. This new york-style pizza also does Detroit deep-dish but we didn't do the deep dish this time, we'll hit that up next round. So the environment is very lounge-type it has a couch corner space for drinking night caps with a good friend or potential new girlfriend or boyfriend. We ate in the back corner was a little dim but once your eyes adjust it really seemed to be fine. Wait staff was really nice and patient and was good about making sure drinks were refilled or we had second round if we wanted it. We did stop in after 9 so we tried some of their happy hour food and drinks. I didn't take a picture of it but I did have the garlic bread bites highly highly recommend they were delicious. One of the main reasons I would definitely be on board with the eating leaves again is ordering the garlic aioli as a dipping sauce. Now onto the main Pizza I always order a pepperoni with extra cheese and sausage if able to. I usually do this for the same reason as I get a nice bass of what type of pizza this restaurant will make. The pizza came out very flimsy in a traditional New York style pizzas which I'm on board with! The pizza was pepperoni sausage extra cheese and had fresh mozzarella. The sauce was light not heavy and not super zesty. The pepperonis were crunchy but not very fatty that you would normally get when you have a pepperoni pizza and the oil drips off your hand and all over. This pizza was not very oily and did not do that. So in closing check this pizza place out it's phenomenal I'll be coming back ready to try the Detroit style pizza. And bring my family along! Also we tried a dessert and we would definitely recommend it it leans a little bit on the citrus side which I do appreciate!”

“Came here to celebrate a job promotion. We were seated promptly but our server took over 15 minutes to come to the table to acknowledge us. She may have been on a break but she was no where in sight for a long time. We got a chance to browse the menu and ordered our food and drinks eventually. Thankfully, food came out promptly and the waters were refilled very attentively. The appetizers are delicious and the entrees are great. The pizza is just meh.. slim on the toppings for the price. Drinks are spendy but the entrees are delicious and generous which matches well with what they charged. Dessert is reasonably priced and portioned well. We will come again when the menu changes. Not a fan of gorgonzola so had to skip the steak while my husband devoured it.”

“My dining experience at Le Pigeon in Portland was truly exceptional. I had a reservation for dinner and opted for the tasting menu, which turned out to be an amazing choice. If you're visiting Portland, I highly recommend this experience. The atmosphere at Le Pigeon was fantastic, setting the stage for an unforgettable evening. The food was nothing short of great, and each dish presented as part of the tasting menu was a culinary delight. What added to the experience was the wonderful service provided by our waitress. She took the time to explain each dish, enhancing our appreciation of the flavors and ingredients. Overall, dining at Le Pigeon was an outstanding experience, and it's a must-visit when you're in Portland.”

“I am so impressed with the customer service at this place! I ordered online and asked for dairy, gluten, soy and egg free pineapple fried rice and pad Thai. Fully expected a call that they couldn't but I went for it since it already said gluten and dairy free. Got the food, it tastes amazing and they followed all instructions. Thank you for making my day!”

“I discovered Urdaneta years ago during Portland Dining Month and it is still, in my opinion, the best restaurant in town. The food is inspired, every time I go there's a new twist on a familiar dish. The flavors are out of this world and service is impeccable. It's like dining at a friend's house, one who is also an incredible artist in the kitchen. This is where I bring visiting friends and family when I want to showcase Portland's food scene. Just make sure to make a reservation, the place is popular and very small.”

“Loved the sushi train. Enjoyed several items from the train and ordered some sushi specialty items off menu. Neat place. Good 🍣 sushi and service.”

2340 NE Sandy Blvd, Portland, OR 97232, United States

“Excellent produce, and the dry goods shelves/meat & cheese counters have endless treasures. I can't resist the Napoleons and the lasagna in the deli case. Arrosto inside does an amazing roast chicken dinner with salad, potatoes and heavenly foccacia that is a good value. Love having this spot with walking distance!”

“Wonderful circle of farmers market stalls around the arts plaza park. Lots of grass and a splash pad for the kids. So nice live music. Nice variety of food, produce and craft vendors vendors”

“Great ice cream and great vibes. Has the best aesthetic of any ice cream store I’ve ever been too, and the best mango sticky rice ice cream by far (I’ve tried it at two places in SF and it’s not nearly as good as here). My one small nitpick is that the ice cream is a little icy and could be smoother”

825 N Cook St, Portland, OR 97227, United States

“Really yummy beer! Food was good as well, we had the chicken wings, bbq sandwich (with pork) & chicken + waffles. Also got the s’mores tart. A worthy stop if you’re in Portland.”

“Had a wonderful experience with my first time dining here. We loved the spinach artichoke dip, it was so good! The meatballs and pizza were great as well. Staff was super nice and the service was great. We’ll be back!”

“Good pasta, good portions for good prices. Nothing mindblowing, but good comfort food.”

“Cheap deals sound good but you better check the dates on EVERYTHING! Bought canned tomatoes, that had a month left of expiration, rice cereal that was expired, bagels that had 1 day till exp, lunch meat that had 3 days till exp and smelled awful when opened. I don’t always check dates because that’s someone’s job to make sure things are safe. Well, not here you better do your own due diligence if you don’t want to get you or your family sick. My negligence but it won’t happen again.”

“This is one of my favorite places now! The sushi is great, slightly expensive, but they're MASSIVE. They're a bit of a struggle to eat due to their size, but they're still made well, not falling apart when you pick them up. The service is also very good; the waitresses were both very pleasant, quickly seated us, and were very attentive during the meal. We also didn't have to wait long for our food. Store is very nicely decorated and is clean. Love sitting down and looking at all the decorations around the area. The only thing I didn't like was the calamari. It doesn't look like real squid, there were no tentacles (the best part), and weren't fully covered in the batter, but still pretty good.”

125 W 11th Ave, Eugene, OR 97401, United States

“Located downtown Eugene. Loved the bulk and organic items. Coffee, wine, fresh sourdough and great looking produce. Small store, but has everything you need if you’re visiting. We walked ten minutes from our Airbnb off of 8th and Washington. Ended up taking an Uber back because we loaded up on things.”

2950 Silverton Rd NE, Salem, OR 97301, United States

“Good place to eat. The atmosphere was chill and the staff were really nice and attentive. A friend had curry rice and said it was good. I had rice noodles and they were alright but not as bold of a flavor compared to other Vietnamese places ove been. Over all not bad. There is plenty of parking and it's easy to get to for a quick lunch.”
