5 Gresham Restaurants You Need to Try

Gresham is home to some bizarrely named local spots but they've got some seriously impressive menus. Whether you're looking for a bodacious burger, a jazzed-up bagel or some killer live music-Gresham is chock full of great spots to choose from.

• The Local Cow pairs outer space themes with, well, cows. The bizarre combination keeps kids fed and entertained, and the $5 children's menu includes a drink; great for families with multiple kids but still want a night out. Fear not, parents. There is plenty of beer to choose from as well. Or, as they say at the Local Cow, there's plenty of "Brew at this Moo!"

• Truffle Hunter Gresham serves slightly more elevated fare. The most striking part of this spot are the regal names for their sandwiches. With names like "King Henry the Eighth" (turkey, corned beef, bacon and cheddar), "Queen Mary" (salami, cream cheese and turkey) and "The Princess" (turkey, smoked ham and cheddar), Truffle Hunter is great for Gresham's misplaced anglophiles.

Address: 225 W Powell Blvd. Gresham, OR 97030

• Jazzy Bagels is just like any standard bagel spot, but with some added jazz. Selection is their main selling point. They've got 19 different kinds of bagels, 10 different types of cream cheese, lox, peanut butter...the list continues. The place has a baby grand piano, which makes it a prime spot for party rentals.

Address: East Powell Boulevard Gresham, OR 97030

• Sweet Betty's Bistro boasts a fifties pin-up girl themed atmosphere, and diner food to match. Chicken fried steak? Yes. Or, if you're super hungry, you might be able to tackle the Big Bomber: home fries smothered in gravy and onions.

Address: 1000 N Main Avenue, 97030 Gresham, OR

• Boccelli's Ristorante is a great date spot in Gresham. With an extensive wine list, gourmet coffee spun into delicious espresso drinks (free refills) and a variety of authentic Italian sodas, Boccelli's is the place you go to celebrate an anniversary or sip a glass of wine alone in a corner. Whichever you prefer, Patch readers.
