When Pigs Fly.... yep, you're in Wilsonville
See All Lists
1. Dar Essalam
Yummy, yummy, yummy I've got lamb in my tummy.
Sometimes five stars just aren't enough. This restaurant just opened in late January in a new commercial center behind Fry's and across from Town Center Park. For months I've been driving by anxiously…More »
2. Country Grains Bread Co
The best sandwich shop in town. Fresh bread, amazing cookies and lots of good, healthy options. Most sandwiches come with baby carrots, chips and a cookie. I am particularly fond of their wraps (BBQ chicken) and their sinfully delicious cinnamon…More »
3. Sushi Avenue
I've been coming here since they opened and at first I was worried if they'd be able to make it. After all, this location in a strip mall has had a lot of turnover and in the early days it looked more like a Mexican joint than a Japanese restaurant.…More »

3/25/2008 First to Review
I was excited to hear a new sushi place opened in Wilsonville. Wow, to think that my little 'burb… Read more »
4. Memorial Park
This is a fantastic park. In fact, this past year they expanded the park and created a new area called Murase Plaza at the corner of Wilsonville Road and Memorial Drive. It connects the library and town center to the rest of Memorial Park down the…More »
5. Hughes Water Gardens
Tualatin, OR 97062
(503) 638-1709
Categories:
Landscaping,
Nurseries & Gardening
I am a girl who is a sucker for a good water feature.
And since Spring is in the air (kinda - it did snow on my way to work AGAIN!), that means I'm looking forward to backyard projects at the new house. When we bought our last house, we put in a pond…More »
6. Oswego Grill
Wilsonville, OR 97070
(503) 427-2152
Categories:
American (New),
Beer, Wine & Spirits
The Oswego Grill officially opens for business on Tuesday, but I attended a pre-opening lunch as the staff and kitchen prepared for the grand opening. As a customer of their first location in Lake Oswego, I can tell you that both the look-and-feel of…More »
7. San Francisco Carniceria
Wilsonville, OR 97070
(503) 582-1690
Categories:
Mexican,
Ethnic Food,
Meat Shops
This is a place I've walked by hundreds of times, but it took a Yelp review to get me to open my eyes and walk in the door. I always assumed it was just a grocery store, but it is so much more. First of all, there is a dining area, although the…More »
8. Town Center Park
This park blew me away the first time I went there a few years ago. I really miss the community pools I grew up with in N. California, but Oregon sure knows how to build water parks. My kids probably prefer the new water feature in the nearby Murase…More »
9. Thai Village
This is a popular spot in Wilsonville and it always does a brisk business at lunch. It is much quieter on evenings and weekends since Wilsonville still seems like a commuter town. The restaurant is relatively large with booths on two levels and a…More »
10. Oregon Korean War Memorial
It would be easy to drive on by and not realize it was here. Located in the Northeast corner of Town Center Park, it is a quiet spot in a park that only comes alive during the summer months when the water feature and summer concert series bring the…More »
11. Subway
Good dining experiences come in all shapes and sizes. Normally I wouldn't bother reviewing a fast food chain, but I eat here at least once a month. And on every occasion, without fail, I am blown away by the efficiency of their operation.
Yesterday I…More »
12. Thai Delight
Not sure what has changed as of late, but sadly my last three experiences haven't been up to their usual standards. This is after being a regular customer for years with nary a bad meal. I've probably had more lunches here than any other place in…More »

I just can't get enough. My friends know if they want to lure me away from the office all they have… Read more »
13. RAM Restaurant & Brewhouse
It is tough to open a new restaurant. So tough that many restaurant owners don't really think it is fair to review a place until they've been up and running six months or longer. And boy have I experienced a few 'rough openings' in the area. But then…More »
14. The Original WOW! Burger
"You're the architect of your burger destiny." [1]
They suffered from opening day jitters. The building was ready, minus a few final touches like blinds in the windows, but the place was packed during their soft opening. Staff was still being trained,…More »
15. The Loop Cafe
I've been bemoaning the loss of all locally owned coffee shops in Wilsonville for months. First, Lamb's Thriftway changed their vendor from a one-woman operation using local beans to Peet's. Then local favorite Wilsonville Coffee Company closed. I…More »
16. Sushi Track
One of my regular lunch spots in Wilsonville even though this is not Grade A sushi. Fun conveyor belt style sushi bar and pay by the plate. And don't tell my dining companions, but the key to a good meal at this sushi place is pole position. I…More »
17. Abella Italian Kitchen
Unfortunately this is no longer one of my local favorites. There are a few other places in town that knock it out of the park on a regular basis and are quicker and less expensive. Abella still scores points for originality, since they are the only…More »

This is one of my Wilsonville favorites. And while it probably doesn't stack up comparably to some… Read more »
18. Wankers Corner Saloon & Cafe
Is it fair to judge a place based on what it once was? This is a tough one for me. The original reviewer, Evan K, described the original Wanker's Corner well. It opened in the '30s and was a neighborhood kinda dive bar filled with Australian and…More »
19. Canyon Creek Deli
For a town of its size, I have very few complaints about the food options in Wilsonville. We have two good Thai places, two sushi bars, Italian, even Moroccan. And there are two good locally owned sandwich shops. After years of patronizing Country…More »
20. Wilsonville Family Fun Center & Bullwinkle's Restaurant
Wilsonville, OR 97070
(503) 685-5000
Categories:
American (Traditional),
Mini Golf,
Amusement Parks
Five stars from the kids, but not from me.
Reasons they like it:
*Lasertag
*Arcade games
*Pizza
Reasons I don't:
*Lasertag - the waiting area is in front of some of their more violent games. Not fun to watch an endless loop of carnage with a 5-year old.…More »
