Hamley’s in Umatilla county is worth the trip for the historical building, and it’s a bonus that their food is consistently good.
Whoops! Who chose the picture of the Cowboy Dinner Tree? That image is not even of the restaurant. It’s one of the out-buildings on the property.

Was that your only choice for “Deschutes County”? And really, only one restaurant?
Nailed it with Del Alma and Sybaris for Benton and Linn counties.
You hit the nail on the head for Lane County! Well done.
Mame yes, izakaya Meji, no. Many others like Grit just down the street.
Buttercloud?! Are you crazy? Out of the myriad eateries in Jackson Co, Buttercloud isn’t the best. That’s ridiculous. Larks in Ashland is better, but there are over 350 restaurants in Ashland, many of which are vastly superior to Buttercloud.
Dino’s in Roseburg is the best restaurant in Douglas County. True has a better bar but for great food it has to be Dino’s.
Totally agree about Sybaris in Linn County and Thai Orchid Cafe in Klamath County. Although the Waffle Hut and their Liege waffles are really great too.
River’s Edge Deli in Gilliam County is the best!
Copper River in Washington county? They are extremely mediocre.
Syun in downtown Hillsboro is where I have been taking important customers for close to 20 years with never a complaint.
Sherman county Bob’s Tbone
Right? Don’t let the rough exterior fool you!
I would have to disagree with the Jackson county location. Much better places than Buttercloud. Maybe you should poll the top location first.
Sherman County. Hahaha
What about Linda’s???
Word of Mouth is overrated. Kitchen on Court street is where it’s at.
NAILED IT with Allorro Wine Bar and Restaurant in Coos County. A genuine GEM!
As expressed above a few hits and quite few misses on the list.
Rodger that BBQ is actually in Polk County. West Salem is across the river from Marion County.
Crazy Norwegian fish and chips by far the best in Curry County!!!
Snaffle Bit dinner house in Grant county much better then the Outpost
Agreed. That was my exact thought !!!
If it has a brewery, you can bet your ass we will pick it for the best place to eat
Baker county…..the lone pine is great for breakfast and lunch, but Barley Browns is the place for dinner and beer !
The place for dinner in Baker County is Lattitude 45, hands down.
1188 Brewing Co in Grant county
Very good!
