Portland’s Most Anticipated Restaurant Openings of 2021

For obvious reasons, you’re right to expect a down year for Portland food. The slate of upcoming new restaurants going into 2021 is, let’s say, a bit dry. Still, that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to get excited about—it just means we might have to get a little more excited about new chains moving into town than we normally would. Here’s a quick rundown of our most anticipated openings.

In-N-Out Might Be Coming to Beaverton, and Residents Have One Major Worry: Traffic

We now know the most recent Portland-metro area location that In-N-Out Burger is scoping out. And let’s just say at least some of the city’s residents aren’t exactly…thrilled. The California-based fast food chain is considering adding a franchise in Beaverton on 10565 SW Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway. The property owner’s representative submitted a letter to the director of the Washington County Department of Land Use & Transportation on Dec. 1 to announce plans for a virtual forum that would allow the operators of nearby businesses and residents to ask about any concerns they might have about their potential new neighbor. Following the meeting, In-N-Out will likely submit a land development application to the county.

In-N-Out Burger Is in the Early Stages of Opening a Restaurant in Tualatin

The mayor of Tualatin tells WW that the California-based fast food chain is in the beginning phases of the permitting process to move into the restaurant space vacated in early May by the Village Inn. Tualatin Life was first to report the development. The site, which the family-style diner moved to in 2004 to make way for the construction of Bridgeport Village sits just off of I-5 on Southwest 72nd Avenue across from the outdoor mall.

Shake Shack Is Opening Its First Oregon Location in Southwest Portland

Shake Shack is preparing to sling burgers in the heart of downtown Portland. The company, which launched in New York in 2004, is one step closer to opening its first Oregon location. According to a proposal filed with the City of Portland’s Bureau of Development Services, Shake Shack is looking to move into a former vitamin store on West Burnside Street and Southwest 10th Avenue in the same block as Living Room Theatres across from Powell’s Books.

An In-N-Out Skeptic Braves the Crowds at the Chain’s New Oregon Location to Ask: What Are These Hamburgers All About?

So when I heard I might have to drive for almost an hour, then stand in line for two more hours just to be one of the first souls to eat at the closest In-N-Out to us yet…well, it seemed kind of dumb. Is any fast food burger really that good?

Oh God, it’s finally happening—In-N-Out is here. Well, not here here, but close enough. Over a year after confirming that the exalted West Coast burger chain would be opening just 45 minutes from Portland, it was announced today that the franchise’s new location in the Salem suburb of Keizer will begin serving Animal Style 3x3s this Thursday, Dec. 12.
