Interurban

Ended up back at Interurban on a chill, rainy day and was instantly reminded of why Interurban is one of my most favorite spots in all of PDX, even now, seven years after I first discovered it. It's a rustic, edgy, Down to Earth place that continues to deliver excellence. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, especially at night, yet never boring. The food ranges from simple pub fare to salads and larger entrees but it's all super tasty and well done. It's pub fare on a higher level. I just had the Steak Frites and that was some of the best flank steak I've ever had, even at fancier restaurants. I'm a big cocktail fan so I especially appreciate their dedication to fine, craft cocktails. They deliver a solid selection of the classics, a creative mix of their own design, and now a selection of adapted historical cocktails from Bar La Florida c. 1935 Havana, Cuba. The Daiquiri #2 was delightful. They have a variety of spaces from their comfy bar, to tables upstairs in the historic house they occupy, to their outdoor patio kept warm by the fire. Service is always great. Can't wait for my next visit!

Love the location and vibe. Great space with fire pits out back. Staff is newer but friendly and provided great service. High five to Joseph and Sean, your personalities and attention is stellar. Disappointed with the food. Oysters were VERY small and over priced. Chips, Salsa, and Guacamole seemed to be straight off a grocery store shelf, they had no flavor; nothing was authentic about it. There is SO much potential, nonetheless the food is less than palatable.I would come back for a drink in hopes they are not out of Hendricks Gin, and pours are not short as we experienced tonight!

An old friend and I enjoyed a fabulous meal at Interurban. Best curly fries I may have ever had. Is that possible? The fries were phenomenal. We also loved loved loved the Whitefish Dip. The Tzatziki Wrap with broccolini was fine but a bit of a mess. Veggie Smash Burger was excellent. Fantastic meal. Great place.

What a great place. It's a Sunday, so I assume way less busy. Our server was so nice and I love the outdoor table service! Some places make you order at the bar. We were a larger party and ordered a lot. So let's get stared. Drinks are drinks and only did one cocktail, so I'm going to be food-focused. Very impressed with the GF items, we got (for me) oysters 15$ for 3 for the table so 12 total (local Washington. Love! Sauces could be better. Curly fries, thought we ordered cocktail weenies but didn't come so NM, 2 prawns, and wow the sauce (cocktail), salsa vibes and so much in a good way horseradish. We kept it for dinner. Would go again just for that. House made for sure! For dinner, steak and potatoes, Greek wrap, mushroom pasta, trout BLT. Wow! And, of course risotto! Needed some salt, but wonderful. The mushroom pasta is served almost like a ramen, which is so great! Nice date or group stop and very popular, I'd say, make it a destination and then pop in to Lovely's next door for ice cream.

While I was visiting Portland, Interurban was a bar/restaurant I visited to get a late dinner after I arrived in the city. The place wasn't too crowded even though I came on a Friday night, and I was able to get a seat at the bar within 5 minutes or so (although there may be more of a wait for larger groups). The bartenders and servers were welcoming, and they were pretty friendly to chat with. I decided to try out the Smoked Trout BLT since that sounded pretty unique and also some of the PNW Oysters on the Half Shell. While the items are on the pricier side, I was pleasantly surprised by how well the Smoked Trout went with the rest of the sandwich. I typically haven't eaten smoked fish often, but the flavors in this were great and it was definitely a combination that I hadn't had before. The oysters were fresh and I also enjoyed them quite a bit, but the main star was definitely the BLT.If you want a quick bite to eat in Portland, Interurban is a good one to try out!

My friend and I were looking for a place to eat happy hour before a comedy show at Mississippi Studios. My friend is a gluten-free vegetarian, so we had to be more selective of the options nearby. We decided on Interurban, and we're glad we did!We started with a drink each: the Puppet King and the Flower Child. The Puppet King was decent, but not my favorite flavor profile. The Flower Child, on the other hand, was delicious!For food, we ordered the Spanish Cocktail Snack Mix and the Seven Layer Dip. The Snack Mix was a great mix of crunchy snacks, and the Seven Layer Dip was flavorful. We asked our server to make it an eight-layer dip as a joke, and he brought it back with edible flowers on top! It was a nice touch.The service at Interurban was excellent. Our server was friendly and attentive, and he made sure we had everything we needed.Overall, we had a great experience at Interurban. The food was good, the drinks were delicious, and the service was excellent. I would like to return for one of the more substantial food options on the menu.

I went to Interurban in order to enjoy one of their signature dishes: Portland's best corndog. I also went to enjoy some of the best fries Portland has to offer.For the first time in many decades, I also decided to enjoy a beer. However, I did not know which one to try because I had not had a beer in so long. So I asked the server for his recommendation. I also asked that he recommend a dipping sauce for my fries. Both his recommendations were outstanding. The beer was light and delicious and paired excellently with both the fries and the corndog.The ambience of this place also Was perfect. The decor, the music, even the weight staff was top-notch. I especially appreciate that the server allowed me to go upstairs and sit in one of those booths, even though I was a solo diner. I totally recommend this place for everyone who is looking for a nice place to get some great standard fare.

The best curly fries and the best rose! You gotta get it with all the sauces, the best little after work treat.

I love this place. My favorite drink here is death in the afternoon - absynth and champagne. It wasn't on the menu today but they were able to make it anyway. I have the smoked trout BLT. OMG - worth going here just for that. Plus our waiter Seth was amazing. Great place to hang on Mississippi Ave.

The cocktails here are really interesting and a lot of liquors I've never even heard of. All the cocktails we tried were unique and worth a try. The curly fries were thick, soft, and crispy on the outside. We sat in the back patio area and the lights and trees surrounding the area gave it a nice ambiance for a chill Saturday night out. The servers checked on us often, but not too often which I liked. They also gave us some suggestions and recommendations while ordering.
