If you're in to "Dive's, Diner's, and Drives" this place has "The Great Balls of Fire". Otherwise, it has an eclectic selection of global food from dhal to tamales. Also, the originator of the famed "Secrete Aardvark Sauce"

Food Scene
Local tap house with farm to pub grub. It's hard to recommend a specific brew bc it changes, but you can't go wrong with the Chicken sandwich of if you're feeling thankful they have a turkey Thanksgiving sandwich. They also have a porch for pups.

This is the FIRST McMenamins Brewery! If you have been around this area you know that they have restored and brought weirdness to many historic spots that may have been lost. That said... I don't recommend the food. My only joy there is a rubinatior (half Terminator Stout and Ruby pils). Hammered IPA is worth a mention.

It is a weird drop down to get to it, but it is literally directly below our house. You have to go straight from the strange intersection heading down towards the river(see google). Anyway, it is wonderful Hawaiian food! you can get it delivered or take out and if you want to hang out they generally have live Hawaiian music on the weekends.
