Other Restaurants in Oregon – Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives

Other Restaurants in Oregon

Beyond the burger joints and BBQ spots, Guy Fieri’s “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” has uncovered some truly unique culinary gems across Oregon. From 2007 to 2018, the show featured 4 distinctive restaurants that defied easy categorization, showcasing the state’s creative and eclectic food scene. These establishments earned an impressive average rating of 4.5 stars from diners who followed Guy’s recommendations.

Portland leads the pack with 2 featured spots, while smaller cities like Ashland and Eugene prove that exceptional food isn’t limited to the big city. Blue Toba in Ashland stands out as the top-rated establishment with 4.6 stars, while Soup Nation in Eugene follows closely at 4.5 stars. Unfortunately, only 1 of these 4 restaurants remains open today—a reminder that even Guy’s stamp of approval can’t guarantee longevity in the challenging restaurant industry. For those lucky enough to visit the survivor, you’ll experience firsthand why these Oregon originals caught the attention of the Mayor of Flavortown himself.
