This Oregon Coast Restaurant Sits Right on the Bay So You Watch Sea Lions Lounge While You Eat Fish and Chips

Newport has a working waterfront that still runs on boats, docks, and fish deliveries. Across from the marina boardwalk, sea lions sprawl on the docks like they own the place, and in a way, they kind of do. Right there on the bay sits a two-story fish house where lunch comes with a front-row seat to all of it.

This Oregon Roadside Burger Joint Is Filled With Rusty Car Parts And Serves Burgers Loaded With Wild Toppings

An airplane fuselage sits on the roof of a burger joint along an Oregon highway. Yes, an actual chunk of airplane. It’s the first clue that lunch here won’t be ordinary. Inside, old license plates are nailed to the walls. Engine parts, odd signs, and even a mannequin share the space. The benches look like they were pulled straight out of old cars.

Locals Say This Salem Barbecue Joint Hides The Best Brisket In All Of Oregon

The brisket here comes thick-cut, with a dark bark and a fat layer the kitchen leaves on purpose. That choice alone tells you a lot about the people running the smoker. The spot sits on a quiet road west of downtown, far from any busy food strip. It keeps a short schedule, too.

5 Best Restaurants in Hillsboro, Oregon You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Hillsboro, Oregon — a city where the Tualatin Valley rolls green and generous beneath a sky that always seems to be shifting, where the scent of cedar mingles with the aroma of roasting coffee, and where neighborhoods are stitched together by the laughter of children, the hum of tech workers, and the quiet pride of families who have called this place home for generations.

That same Oregon kitchen also works with meats like bison and kangaroo. Meanwhile, a coastal shack pairs grass-fed patties with pinball and pool. And a food truck makes its own buns, then sends you off with bread pudding.

Portland’s Best Cozy Bars for the Winter

While Portland summers are idyllic and sunny, and our autumns are heralded by explosions of crimson and gold across the city, our winters can get downright grim. We don’t often freeze solid like a Midwestern city, but when the sun sets in the early afternoon and the days are filled with gloomy clouds and a constant icy drip, winters can be punishing. But that’s why we have bars, especially those warm, welcoming spots with firepits and hot toddies and hearty meals to drive out the chill and the brutal malaise. Some places offer year-round comfort, while others bring festive joy with holiday pop-ups and themes. Here are some picks for our favorite cozy, wintry bars.
