OT Whats the first restaurant you go to once this is all over?

Kobe Steakhouse. It's hibachi style and it's my birth month. They give you a free dinner in the month of your birthday if you sign up to their newsletter. I could go pick it up for take out, but it just isn't the same.
 
Ah, the banjos.
And so, this is how it begins, again.
Haha. Hopefully there wont be any pig type squeals.

When it is safe to do so, buddy, we should get together and go to the Mongolian Grill again.
 
The restaurant I love and miss the most? Well, that's hard to say because there are so many that are virtually tied:
1. The Original Pancake House;
2. Buster's in Tigard;
3. Chang's Mongolian Grill, somewhere between Beaverton and Hillsboro just off Cornell near the Krispy Creme;
4. Jake's Famous Crawfish;
5. The Ringside on West Burnside, where they know steaks;
6.Southpark;
7. Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, where they also know steaks.
I like a lot of those places as well.

You’re “meh” on La Provence but you list Busters(!!!????!!!!) as your #2 restaurant???? Hmmmmmmm......but then, you also think Jake’s is good......I guess we won’t be dining out together anytime soon.
I like trying different cuisines.

Please keep posting places you like, buddy. You seem to find the smaller unknown places (at least unknown to me).

One of the main interests (besides the dog) my wife have in retirement (and even before that) is dining out. But it does tend to get into a rut, even in a foodie town like Portland. And since Wilsonville is pretty much a dining wasteland, we have to travel for decent food. So we do try to shake things up occasionally. We’re also pizza snobs, so we are always ready to try the new places when they open.

A few more places;
Kargi Gogo on Alberta. Georgian place with killer dumplings amongst other stuff you don’t usually find in PDX
Pine State Biscuits. You probably know that one....
Ocean City (if you want decent dim sum. Where all the Asians seem to go)
Master Kong (same as above, only less Asians and more Gweilo)
The Star and/or Dove Vivi if you like cornmeal crust pizza
Chez Jose (gringo Mexican food at it’s best)
The Matador (same as above but very dog friendly in the good weather, killer drinks and best of all, no kids allowed).
Lovely’s Fifty Fifty (if you don’t mind having to wait until dinner time for your pizza)
Tastebud (in Multnomah. Also a dinner only place)

Anyway, just a few. I’d like to hear of some more good hole in the wall places myself.......but of course, how many restaurants are going to come back from this coronavirus thing, let alone keep going?? But now I’ve gone and made myself hungry......
 
This man Southparks! We love it there, its our special occasion location. Its kind of spendy but their happy hour is not too bad. Love their oysters on a half shell, the mignonette sauce they use is so good that even my wife now likes raw oysters and $7 for 3 happy hour special is not too bad a price for good oysters. Fish and chips are perfection, the shrimp and grits are the best this side of Charleston, even their pizza and hamburgers are great! I've never had the salmon but I will one day and based on their track record Im sure its fantastic.

The bar attached to South Park is excellent, and a great deal too.
 
I'm a bit worried about one of my favorite places. It suffered through some rough time due to recent freeway construction.

We were feeling like heading there and then this hit. It is called Lolas. It was on Diners, Drive ins and Dives.

I still want to do Sterling brunch too.

I did sterling brunch like 2 years ago. It was awesome. I put caviar on errythang.

Busters is on my route for work. I think it’s technically considered Portland still. I had a habit of eating there a couple times a week. Always go for the pork spareribs. Oh and there potato salad is so good. Scooped with an ice cream scooper
 
I ate at Southpark a few years back. Their oyster shooters might have been the best I had. Some weird like green sorbet type stuff on them if I remember right
 
Buster's Cheesesteak. I've been craving a cheesesteak sandwich for a while.

Chez Jose is the worst Mexican restaurant I've ever eaten in.
Guess we won't be going out to eat together anytime soon.

If you sit at one of the ends of the bar you can watch them shell the oysters which they do very very well.
 
Acropolis...because I like the steaks

A map of the city limits of Tigard shows Buster's to be in Tigard. Their address also shows them in Tigard although addresses can often not be the same as the actual boundary.
 
Arriba Arriba. I meant to go the night before everything shut down and husband wanted me to eat at home. Waiting patiently now. It’s a small restaurant and probably won’t be open at first. As far as big restaurants, I’ll go to Virgil’s. My husband’s birthday is the 12th. If his favorite restaurant Mont Blanc is open, we’ll go there.
 
I think it could be awhile before this is all over.

Here in California, its spaced out tables. Wear masks when walking to and away from table. Paper menus. One restaurant had real plates and silverware, another had it in disposable containers.

There was a bar open that was doing temperature checks.

Another bar right on the strand in hermosa beach let us drink beers out in front of the spot. We had to buy food with alcohol though.

I can't believe we can eat in restaurants before yall lol

65th is the boundary. I think it’s on 99 and 65th so I guess your right. By the hair on my chinny chin chin

Is that a lemon coke or an iced tea? Either way it's a winner.

What kind of food has alcohol in it and why did you only get to buy food with alcohol in it?
