Southern Restaurants in Oregon

When Guy Fieri rolled his red Camaro into Oregon, he uncovered a surprising truth: some of the most soulful Southern cooking in America is thriving in the Pacific Northwest. From 2013 to 2023, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives spotlighted 5 remarkable Southern-style eateries across the Beaver State, with 4 still serving up comfort food classics today. These hidden gems have earned an impressive average rating of 4.5 stars from devoted locals and traveling food lovers alike.

Portland leads the charge with two standout spots, but it’s A Broken Angel in Bend and Viking Soul Food in Portland that share top honors with stellar 4.8-star ratings. Whether you’re craving buttery biscuits, tangy barbecue, or hearty plates that stick to your ribs, these Oregon kitchens prove that Southern hospitality knows no geographic boundaries. Tin Shed Garden Cafe in Portland rounds out the must-visit list, bringing its own creative spin to down-home cooking. From the hip streets of Portland to the scenic beauty of Ashland and Eugene, Guy found flavor country alive and well in Oregon.
