Lately there’s lots of talk about a favorite winter pastime here: eating. Specifically, eating comfort food. Lucky for visitors, these are items found on menus throughout the area. Here are the top picks that we here at the Washington County Visitors Association have sampled–and thought we’d share:
Raiza Dottin, Administrative Assistant:
My favorite go-to dish is the Teriyaki Beef at Roxy’s Island Grill in Beaverton. There was a line out the door to order last time I was there, which is a good indicator of their yummy food. The service is quick, too. I always get this dish because the barbecue sauce is the perfect mixture of sweet and salty.
As a close runner-up, I like the Mushroom Soup at The South Store Café in Hillsboro; it’s just the right thickness and pairs well with sandwich of the day, which, last time I was there, was turkey with brie and apples. The apples made the sandwich unique. The soups are house-made daily and served with focaccia bread.
Marie Prins, Visitor Information Specialist:
I could make a meal of just the Polenta Fries with Gorgonzola Butter at decarli restaurant in downtown Beaverton. Also, I’ve enjoyed the Braised Beef Shortribs served with spaetzle–yum!
Allison George, Stakeholder Development Manager:
The decarli Burger at decarli restaurant is juicy and gourmet. You won’t look pretty eating it, but you won’t care what anybody thinks after your first bite.

Angie Marsh, Communications Associate:
The Fondue at Gustav’s in Tigard is the perfect recipe of melted swiss, served with cute skewers and two kinds of bread for easy dipping.
Another comfort-in-a-bowl I like is the Phở at Pho Van Beaverton. The lean brisket is perfectly cooked, and works well with the rice noodles in broth, and I add the sides; a few bean sprouts, all the jalapenos and a few sprigs of the Asian basil.
Melissa Hay, Online & Interactive Coordinator:
I like the Fish Taco at La Superior in Beaverton–it’s fresh, not “fishy.”
Another favorite is at McMenamins Cornelius Pass Roadhouse in Hillsboro: the Communication Breakdown Burger, which has cheddar, mushrooms, onion and bell peppers–the perfect combo. It comes with a choice of fries, tots, soup or salad, so I mix up by choosing a different side each time.
Christopher Glawe, Graphic Designer:
If you’re looking to eat homestyle Mexican food, Pepper’s Mexican Grill in Hillsboro is the place–especially the Carne Asada. The steak is grilled to perfection and the homemade tortillas are delicious. Try the sample plates to see how everything has a good, fresh taste. Pepper’s also has the best Chile Relleno I’ve ever tasted. Try to leave room for dessert; they have tasty flan.
A close second is the BBQ Pork Tamale at The Tamale House in Tigard. I had never really cared for tamales; I found them to be dry and often bland. Then I discovered this place, where the tamales are homemade by the family. I also tried the tacos with homemade corn tortillas–Delicious!

There’s sure to be a place in Washington County that suits your game-viewing tastes for Superbowl XLVI. In fact, with a little planning, you could watch it all–the game, commercials and Madonna’s halftime show–on a massive high-definition screen while enjoying food and/or drink specials. Game day is Sunday, Feb. 5 with kickoff at 3:30 p.m.
We’ve seen lines to claim prime viewing seats start as early as 10 a.m. at Big Al’s, so be sure to scope out your spot before kickoff at your venue of choice! And designated drivers are always a good idea.
Here are the places we’ve heard about for game-watching:
In Beaverton:
People often line up at Big Al's at 9 a.m. to reserve their tables on game day!
Big Al’s Beaverton – To describe their viewing area as massive TV screens is an understatement. We’d venture to guess that the screens rival the span of a football field–all the better for seeing every detail of the big showdown.
14950 SW Barrows Rd.
503-748-6118
Cinetopia – This is a prime Superbowl event this year: included is a prime rib buffet and a choice of viewing in either the plush Living Room Theater ($50) or watching on the GXL giant 70′ screen ($30). If you go big, you’ll be watching the game “on the largest screen in the Northwest.”
Malone’s Ale House – View the game on two 73″ HD TVs while enjoying a tap special and super nachos, as well as free peanuts.
1175 NW 185th
503-439-0630
In Tigard:
Blitz Sports Pub – 99W – There are 30 TVs in this latest addition to Washington County sports pubs!

Thirsty Lion Pub and Grill – Game-day specials abound. Choose from the 52 beers on tap as well.
10205 SW Washington Square Rd.
503-352-4030
Whichever option you choose, enjoy!
McMenamins Grand Lodge (3505 Pacific Avenue) will be presenting the game in the Compass Room Theatre. Admission is free and minors are welcome with a parent or guardian. http://www.mcmenamins.com/events/85562-Tostitos-Bowl-Championship-Series-Oregon-Vs-Auburn.
Grendel’s (2004 Main Street) will be offering special beer and appetizer options during the game.
Ballad Town Billiards (2036 Pacific Avenue) has Monday beer and taco specials along with a special hourly pool table rental rate for anyone wearing Ducks gear!

While Pinot has put Oregon wine on the map, microbrewing has carved a niche for Oregon beer, and breweries and brew pubs in Oregon’s Washington County are multiplying each year.
The beer here is defined by the local hops, thanks to hop plants (shown in background).
The newest addition to the area is Golden Valley Brewery in Beaverton, which is slated to open in late January. The success of Golden Valley’s initial brewery in McMinville led to this expansion to a second location that mirrors the first, with an emphasis on serving food from local suppliers–even all-natural beef from the owners’ ranch for its burgers and steaks, as well as a selection of sandwiches, salads and seafood. As a brewery, it will serve its own original craft beer, such as Chehalem Mountain IPA, as well as beers that change when the seasons do–including award-winning “Tannenbomb” in the winter months.
The new location’s patio, banquet room, and so much more will be housed in its 9,000 square feet of space–including about 10 taps for its delicious draft beer. The eatery will also include a full bar with liquor, a regional wine list and specialty drink menu.
For other seasonally delicious beers, venture to Old Market Pub and Brewery. The beer names tell the story: Mr. Toad’s Wild Red Ale, Old Granny Smith, Mr. Slate’s Gravelberry Ale and Pacific Porter, among others. This and the tater tots “covered in molten liquid cheese” and other menu items–soups, specialty salads, pizzas, pastas–pair well with the beer selections.
Another popular Washington County brewery with a Portland address is Art Larrance’s Raccoon Lodge and Brewpub. Seasonal beers are, well, always in season, and the iconic beer is the “Portland Ale.” Choices include: Razberry Wheat (summer), Back to School Bitter (fall) and the Pub Crawl Porter, among others. Be sure to try the award-winning sour beer. Select beers are discounted during happy hour.
For another one-of-a-kind brewpub, head to Main Street in Tigard for a pint at Fanno Creek Brewpub. Again, the beer names tell all: Vanilla Cream Porter, Dry Hopped Pacific Red, Raspberry Stout, Imperial Majesty IPA and more.”Hoppy Hour” is offered twice daily to enjoy quesadillas, nachos or a salad with the craft beer in this spacious brewpub.
A brewpub round-up would not be complete without naming the McMenamins brewpub establishments in the area, all of which you can count on to offer: Terminator Stout, Hammerhead Pale Ale, Ruby and IPA–as well as Northwest-style pub fare. In Tigard is John Barleycorns, a Cathedral-shaped building with an outdoor terrace. In Hillsboro, enjoy the classic Cornelius Pass Roadhouse & Imbrie Hall, a former farmstead with a lot of outdoor summer seating. In Southwest Portland, have a seat at the Oak Hills Brewpub to peer through the large interior windows at the active onsite brewery while enjoying the latest nitro beer on tap.
No discussion about Oregon beer is complete without mentioning local breweries with tasting rooms. Similar to wine tasting rooms, these breweries do only one thing: they serve beer. Beer tasting rooms in Washington County include: Ambacht Brewing, Vertigo Brewing, Off the Rail Brewing and Two Kilts Brewing Company.
We wish you well on your journey through Oregon’s Washington County beer country.

Winter is what we call “shopping season” in Washington County. What better time to comb through racks of retail deals, and find what you’re looking for while still keeping within your budget and never–ever–paying sales tax or paying for parking.
Even better, many stores here aren’t found elsewhere in the Portland area:
There are deals to be had in Washington County. Photo by Lynn Friedman.
This gem of a store, located in Bridgeport Village, is currently the only Saks 5th Avenue OFF 5TH north of San Francisco. Open in this location since Fall 2010, you can expect to find brand names ranging from DKNY to Calvin Klein, with designated sections of the store for men’s, women’s, children’s clothing; and footwear and accessories as well. Bargains can especially be had on off-season wear.
With two Washington County locations–Beaverton and Tualatin–this renowned discounter offers affordable fashion, much of which is brand name. Their stores are divided into sections, including activewear, women’s plus and baby–thereby giving shoppers the chance to find all sorts of retail items for less than the suggested retail prices.
Three of the four Marshall’s stores in the Portland-Metro area are in Washington County; specifically, in Beaverton, Hillsboro and Tigard, making one accessible around every turn here.
This shiny store is new to the county and not far from the freeway with ample parking, so it’s a must-see for many travelers. The discounted clothes, shoes and more are all from Nordstrom stores. With 450,000 square feet of shopping, there are deals to be had!
In addition, visitors from out-of-area can also enjoy the perks of a free coupon book for use at Washington Square, offering savings at dozens of participating retailers and select dining: details. Happy shopping!

For authentic Korean BBQ–and an array of Korean food in general–Washington County is a top pick. Specifically, the city of Beaverton. The menus at restaurants in the area offer favorites as well as delicacies; kimchi pork belly, seafood pancakes, ribs, and so much more. Here are some to try:
Buckwheat Noodles at Nakwon restaurant. Photo by Ron Dollete.
If grilling meat at your own table is in your dining repertoire, DJK Korean BBQ (12275 SW Canyon Rd., Beaverton; 503-641-1734) is the place. They’re also known for tasty tofu soup and a la carte specialty options.
Du Kuh Bee (12590 SW 1st St., Beaverton; 503-643-5388) is where fresh noodles are the basis of many dishes, and the handmade kimchi dumplings are a popular menu item–which diners often watch being prepared with the view of the kitchen inside this tiny, sought-after spot.
Hae Rim (11729 SW Beaverton-Hillsdale Hwy., Beaverton; 503-671-9725) is known for outstanding service and homemade noodles. Try the pan-fried seafood pancake or any of the hot pot selections; servers are happy to recommend one suited for your palate.
If you can find this small, tucked-away restaurant, JCD (3492 SW Cedar Hills Blvd., Beaverton; 503-644-7378) has a seafood and scallion pancake that is highly recommended and portable grills to cook food at your table.
If you enjoy “street food” such as ramen and spicy rice cakes, the Korean pub house KimSatGot (9955 SW Beaverton-Hillsdale Hwy., Suite 235, Beaverton; 503-746-5609; www.kimsatgot.com) is the place for good, cheap evening eats; it’s open from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. Tues. through Sat.
Nakwon (4600 SW Watson Ave., Beaverton; 503-646-9382) is known for its generous side dishes and pork specialties; or try the spam kimchi fried rice.
