Division Eatery Alley

Let's start from the river...

Genie's - Boo for the longest wait time in the history of mediocre breakfast joints. Avoid it.

On the way up (not including Clinton – that’s another article, itself):
Reel ’M Inn: Bar Food - Standby best fried chicken you can get at the best price. It may take a long time to get your hands on it…first you order, half an hour later your chicken and jojos arrive, and then you wait until your piping hot plate cools enough so that the silverware you put in it is tangible. The wait is well worth it. There’s pool and beer to temper your appetite. BTW: Don’t come starving or you’ll be drunk enough that when your food arrives, you burn your mouth eating it and you probably won’t notice until the next day.
Clay’s Smokehouse: Casual Dining - Best coleslaw in Portland. Barbeque delight. Memorabilia to match.
Further…
Pok Pok: Casual/Fine Dining – Never a bad meal. Some call it amongst their favorites.
Lauro: Fine Dining - When they first opened, I went once out of curiosity. It was fantastic. I got pork medallions with bell peppers. I could have slurped the sauce on the plate all night. This was several years ago and my mouth still waters at the thought of that sauce! Great clay carafes for wine, too.
Hedge House: Casual Dining – This easy-going converted house has a pulled pork sandwich to take care of anyone’s appetite. They make their own beers and have great outdoor seating. Feel free to ride your bike over, it’s easier than finding somewhere to park.
Friends, fill in the blanks. Please tell us of more or add to what I’ve said.
