Yes, folks, I eat these things so you don’t have to. This was from the Dollar Store. A buck. Pretty good bun, really. The fish patty was like most fast food ones, reminiscent of fish, but that’s all. Microwaving doesn’t improve on it.

Portland, OR – Newport Seafood Grill
Something’s fishy here, and it’s not the food. Restaurants Unlimited, a dominant operator in the Northwest, has closed a lot of their Portland outlets, and they should give up on this one as well. Lackadasical service, ho hum food, and spendy prices for what’s delivered on the plate. We wondered in last Saturday afternoon at [...]

Nationwide Chain – Sbarro’s
Sbarro is the king of mall pizza, arguably. And the chain recently entered voluntary bankruptcy. I saw an article recently that called Sbarro “America’s least essential restaurant,” and that may well be true. I hadn’t been to one in a long time, but finding myself trapped in a mall the other day, I deciced to [...]

Beaverton, OR – Buffet Palace
Quit your hatin’. Why does this place get panned so much? I love Asian buffets, and this is one of the better ones I have been to. Located near the Cedar Hills Mall, Buffet Palace offers more choices for lunch and dinner than you can shake a stick at. (What does that mean, anyway?) From [...]

Portland, OR – Barbur World Foods (Pizza)
One of our neighborhood grocery stores, Barbur World Foods, features a wide variety of imported groceries, and an over-the-top deli counter where you can buy the requisite sliced meat, cheese, as well as a number of freshly made hot and cold dishes lately. They also have made-to-order brick oven pizzas, including some specialty Lebanese style [...]

McMinnville, OR – La Rambla
Rambled in to La Rambla (boulevard in Spanish) the other day; had a business appointment with a colleague in McMinnville, and since we both had already seen the Spruce Goose, lunch seemed like a go. A tastefully decorated bar and dining area probably makes La Rambla one of the go-to places in McM town. Featuring [...]

Gardenburger Brand – Portobello Mushroom
Picked up a four pack of these a few weeks ago, got around to sampling last nite. Not particularly healthier compared to – say a typical McDonald’s hamburger or cheeseburger, except in that they have less fat. But pretty much equal in the carb and sodium department. Ingredients include a couple of different rices, a [...]

Portland, OR – Vegetarian House
Burgerdogboy went over to the dark side yesterday, hit up the buffet at the Vegetarian House in Portland’s Old Town/Chinatown. $8 all you can eat, $6 for a single plate. There are about 8-10 items and soup on the buffet. The restaurant is clean and the host hospitable. I enjoyed my lunch, which consisted of [...]

Portland, OR – Theo’s (Chinatown)
One all-day, late night option in Portland’s Old Town/Chinatown is Theo’s, on NW Fifth Avenue. Offering a variety of burgers, sandwiches, sides, and so on, Theo’s is a great quick stop for a bite, or call ahead for take-out. I was wasting time in the neighborhood, and stopped in to get a burger to go. I [...]

Portland, OR – Slappy Cakes
If you haven’t hit Slappy Cakes in SE Portland, because you think it’s just for kids, you’ve missed one of the best breakfasts in town. Although children of all ages will enjoy the concept of making their own pancakes right at the table – choose from a type of batter and a wide [...]
