Just minutes south of downtown Portland, the John's Landing neighborhood is just cozy. Perfect for starting your evening out here before heading into town or even spending the entire day here.

Jimmy's Smokehouse & Pizzeria
7025 SW Macadam Portland,OR 97219 503-246-1460
Great organic pizza and barbeque. Not to mention the salads, pulled pork and beef brisket. There aren't a lot of seats but the take out is just as good.

Bamboo Grove Hawaiian Grill
515 SW Carolina Street Portland,OR 97219 503-977-2771ý
Off the main road, this diamond in the tropic rough is a must. The teriyaki chicken is outstanding and you must try the kalua pig (usually only available on the weekends). Most entrees have three sizes; small, medium and large, which must be Hawaiian for large, huge, and 'oh my lord.' Usually meals this large, I leave the starches for last or not at all. Not the case at Bamboo. Their macaroni salad is phenomenal and should be mandatory. They also have a large choice of Hawaiian beers on tap as well as specialty mai tais.

Shanghai Noble House Restaurant
5331 SW MacAdam Ave Portland,OR 97239 503-227-3136
The Noble House has been around since the Water Tower mall was actually a mall. This family style Chinese food will make both your tummy and wallet happy. The food is fast and so is the amazing service.

Thai PK Restaurant
6141 SW Macadam Ave Portland,OR 97239 503-452-4396
It's hard to find bad Thai food in Portland. Don't let the laminated menus fool you; PK offers some of the best Thai food in Portland.

Corbett Fish House
5901 SW Corbett Ave, Portland,OR 97239 503-246-4434
Have food allergies or just want some of the tastiest fish and chips in Portland? Cooked in rice bran oil and rice floor batter, Corbett FH offers healthier fried options. If you are on the Eastside, they have a second location at the Hawthorne Fish House.

Cafe Du Berry
6439 SW Macadam Ave, Portland,OR 97239 503-244-5551
This French café is cozy and the wild mushroom omelets and French toast are a must. Be prepared to cough up double digits for most Breakfast items. Dinner is also available.

Fulton Pub & Brewery
0618 S.W. Nebraska St., Portland,OR 97239 503-246-9530
You pretty much know what you are going to get at a neighborhood McMenamins. Fulton offers that plus a really great ambiance. And they have the rarely offered Cajon Tots!

Buffalo Gap Saloon & Eatery
6835 SW Macadam Ave, Portland,OR 97239 503-244-7111
The Buffalo Gap is a sports bar and great music venue, so teh crowds and noise are expected. Ample seating in a cabin like setting makes it easier to enjoy their above par bar menu. Try their fry sauce and pulled pork.

Caro Amico Italian Cafe
3606 SW Barbur Blvd, Portland, OR, 97239 503-223-6895
Perched up on the hill over looking John's Landing, Caro Amico has been a Portland staple for over 5 decades. It is always hard to decide over the authentic pizza or baked lasagna. Parking can be a little difficult.

Aquariva
0470 Sw Hamilton Ct, Portland, OR 97239 503-802-5850
If you want to treat yourself while in John's Landing, Aquariva is highly recommended. The menu offers a wide selection of Northwest influenced Italian small plates. The setting is also worth the trip. Wide open contemporary design overlooking the Willamette River.
