A great place to have family picnics, barbecues with friends, and swim in the river. There are many activities that take place at Oxbow Park. There are areas within the park that allow people to camp over night. No pets.
Known for cheap prices, good movies and a comforting atmosphere.
Must have breakfast burritos! The food tastes great and is inexpensive. The green sauce is delicious!
Feeling for a juicy steak? Wanna have some peanuts while you wait? Then this is place for you! Booths are in secluded corners for your comfort. The wait staffs are extremely nice here and cater to your needs. When you're stuffed from your meal and ready to go, you'll have to kick your heels a time or two to get all those peanut shells out of your shoes! Always fun!
This restaurant is by far the cleanest Chinese restaurant. The lunch menu is excellent with great prices to match. During lunch, which is 7 days a week from 11AM - 3PM, each entree comes with your choice of soup, fresh hot tea, and steamed rice. Dinner menu is just as great as the lunch menu. The entrees are a bit bigger than the lunch entrees, but also more expensive. A must try, 'Sesame Chicken'!
Great family style pizza restaurant. Allows for a great night for the whole family with the family fun room containing arcade style games and pool.
Great stir-fry combo plates, think Panda Express but with the family-owned feeling. They have a pleasant outdoor patio that is well decorated.
Burger spot serving organic Oregon-grown beef.
Housed in the former county poor farm, 15 mi east of downtown Portland. The hotel rooms range from suites and family rooms to hostel dorms.
