Cheers to you!

122nd & Holgate -East Portland , this is a bar and grill. It is business and senior friendly at lunch and in early evening for dinner.  Has extremely good Prime rib, with giant baker and sauteed veggies on weekends for under $10. and it is superior quality for the money!

Hamburgers are high quality steer beef.  If you want super fast service go elsewhere. Food is excellent, staff is great, happy hour drinks are good, and noise level is ok most of the time.  Occassionally loud, but to be expected with some times later eve younger night crowd.  Soups are from scratch and are mostly low salt. Bacon Bean, and Prime Beef soups are saltier.   Super salads and always fresh greens. 

Tic Toc Restaurant & Bar

112th & Division- East Portland offers the greatest Shrimp cocktail for the money anywhere! Gigantic cocktail with killer sauce for under $5.  The place offers Portland style “Wierd Soups” but they are terrriffic.  All breakfasts and meals offer loads of food and many folks take some home for later.  Good staff, at this blue collar senior friendly establishment that still gives you comfort food.  Soups are lower salt than most.  Excellent salads.

Davidson’s Restaurant  – Old Hwy 99 West, Tualatin

Frank’s been going there for over 10 years! Wonderful medium price comfort food place with great daily specials, soups, fresh mexican fare daily and some good old fashioned recipe’s and great Cherry pie!  Love the Cherry and berry pie!  Always top service, fast and friendly with excellent salad offerings.

Courtyard at the Marriott Restaurant – AIRPORT WAY near the Portland Air port.

Recently ate breakfast and enjoyed a “roast” in my honor done by Friends of East Portland Chamber of Commerce. Food was excellent, and very well prepared.  It was HOT! One of my pet things to check.  They serve Breakfast lucnh and dinner in the restaurant and welcome the public.  A great place to meet with friends or meet out of towners whom may be in vicinity of PDX.  Recommend it highly – Ask them about “Park and Fly Vacation packages” if you are going to be traveling soon. You can leave your car with them in a special package and eat breakfast too!
