Craft Warehouse

604 NW Eastman Pkwy
Gresham, OR 97030

Brandy S. writes: This is one of the biggest craft places in Portland (ok, so most big box stores aren't technically in Portland - this one is in Gresham, but still close to the MAX line).

I spent many a day in here as a child and there is always a bargain to search…

A Joy Forever Scrapbook Store

586 NE Burnside Rd
Gresham, OR 97030

Burger Hut

3345 Pacific Hwy
Hubbard, OR 97032

Michael A. writes: They may have lost their hole-in-the-wall charm by remodeling, but the old school "burger hut" roadside sign remains. And so does the great, greasy food. Deluxe burgers, onion rings, fish sandwiches, oh my! Great burger joint despite some pretty slow…

Lake Oswego, OR 97034

Five Spice

315 First Avenue
Lake Oswego, OR 97034

Marc A. writes: I am astounded by the lower than 5 star reviews for Five Spice. Their complete bamboo interior is stunning as well as their lake-side view. My favorite part of their assortment of foods is their happy hour. It is a good balance of gourmet nw-fusion…

Maxwell Sinclair

5 Centerpointe Drive, Suite 150
Lake Oswego, OR 97034

Krista T. writes: Yeah, I better start with the fact that I haven't actually bought a home from Max. I've just seen some homes with him and heard him speak at a Feng Shui presentation.
I think the "typical" agent is a little creepy and I aim to spend as little time…

Fuddruckers

17815 65th Ave
Lake Oswego, OR 97035

Ella W. writes: I put cheesy chain restaurants in the same category as Rod Stewart in his "Do you think I'm sexy" phase, Ronald Reagan in all his phases, and scrunchies.  And if anyone reading this thinks that's a thumbs-up category, they should probably hop in…

Gubanc's Pub

16008 Boones Ferry Rd
Lake Oswego, OR 97035

K L. writes: Gubanc's is the neighborhood pub.  Food is good, it's comfort food and bit better than average pub fare.  But they are inconsistent with their portions.  According to my husband, the fish and chips are very good, but sometimes he gets a little…

3 Monroe Pkwy Ste 910
Lake Oswego, OR 97035

Olma M. writes: Every Portland visit usually translates to at least one stop at this Columbia Sportswear Outlet store for me - keyword being "OUTLET!"  I was staying in Lake Oswego a few years ago and this store was literally about two blocks away - dangerous for me…

McMenamins

102 9th St
Oregon City, OR 97045

Tom A. writes: I know, another McMenamin's.  The familiar beer list, the inconsistent service, the odd mix of in-house art and container store artifacts for decor.  So why mention it?

Two things: The Deck.  And The Burger.  

A small patio under the shade of a tree is…

Winestock Wine Shop & Wine Bar

820 Main St
Ste B
Oregon City, OR 97045

Yuka M. writes: I quickly fell in love with this place!

According to the owner, they only purchase wine from small winery. They have direct relationship with winery, and select & purchase wine from each place. I think that it so coool.

Wood Village, OR 97060

Motel 6 No 407

1610 NW Frontage Rd
Troutdale, OR 97060

Dan H. writes: Inexpensive as always.  A bit of an odd location, only one road in and out.  A bit noisy and one of the overhead lights in the room didn't work but again, inexpensive.  I would stay again if traveling through and needing a place to stop for the night…

8335 SW Tonka St
Tualatin, OR 97062

Haggen Food & Pharmacy

8515 SW Tualatin Sherwood Rd
Tualatin, OR 97062

Danielle K. writes: I really, really dislike shopping at Haggen. It reminds me of a really ill-organized, ridiculously priced Roth's. They've even got the green logo. Okay, so I know Haggen came first, but I have a really hard time paying $4.50 for a quart of hazelnut…

Tualatin Liquor Store

8101 SW Nyberg St Ste 101
Tualatin, OR 97062

Tualatin, OR 97062

Maggie A. writes: Thanks to Em, my hair looks much better than it did when I went in with no clue except that I wanted it "shorter." I'm bad about my hair and knowing what I want, so she went through some of the books with me and talked with me until we knew what I…

Tualatin, OR 97062

jimbo a. writes: Delectable, inexpensive, small, but always busy.

What's a good way to know if a place is good? Just see how busy are they. Mashita is ALWAYS busy (during lunch time. I've never been there during dinner hours.). The portions are great, and the price is…

West Linn, OR 97068

Courtney D. writes: Save your back: wash your dog at a shop

If you've ever tried to wash your dog at home, you know it can be a bit of a wet nightmare. Washing my oldest Sammy is easy, but my puppy Bella tends to jump all over the tub. I hold out as long as I can for a…

Wilsonville, OR 97070

Danielle K. writes: Okay, I'm going to be honest: This review is taking me about an hour to write. Not because I'm having writers' block, but because I seriously don't know what to say.

This Tex-Mex is definitely "meh." A bunch of my friends have raved about how amazing…

Wankers Corner Saloon & Cafe

8499 SW Main St
Wilsonville, OR 97070

Jen K. writes: Is it fair to judge a place based on what it once was?  This is a tough one for me.  The original reviewer, Evan K, described the original Wanker's Corner well.  It opened in the '30s and was a neighborhood kinda dive bar filled with Australian and…

Little Italy Pizza

Cornelius 9 Cinemas

200 N 26th Ave
Cornelius, OR 97113

Brandon H. writes: An independent multiplex?  Those still exist?  They do!

Unfortunately, you have to drive all the way to Cornelius to get to it.  That's not a far drive for me though, and the opportunity to support a theater that isn't Regal is reason enough for me to…

Torii Mor Winery

Dundee, OR 97115

Michelle B. writes: After you've spent a solid 20 minutes driving up a non-paved road and all of the other wineries are closed (who closes at 4:00???) you kind of have to stop into this one.

I wouldn't suggest driving up a dirt road for this wine, but it's certainly…

Erath Vineyards Winery

9409 NE Worden Hill Rd
Dundee, OR 97115

Melissa S. writes: A fantastic lineup of wines (mmm La Nuit Magique Pinot Noir) and a friendly tasting room staff.

Hillsboro, OR 97123
