Our Favorite Portland Chain Restaurants (Plus a Few Guilty Pleasures)

from City Cast Portland · host City Cast

Our city has a lot of pride in our local food scene: It feels more common to meet someone who raises backyard chickens than to hear them admit they enjoy eating at a chain restaurant. But that doesn't mean we don't have local food chains that we love and are worth celebrating. So today, we're rating local chains: which are our favorites, our guilty pleasures, and even the specific Portland locations of some sinful national chains our team enjoys.
