There’s plenty to feast on in Portland proper, but the west side offers some serious gems, too. From juicy burgers to handmade Korean noodles, the following are some of our favorite places west of the Willamette, when you’re out and about with hungry kids in tow. Flip through our album to see them all.

Beaverton Sub Station

Fans love the Sub Station, and for good reason: This place is filled with heart. From the owner who remembers everyone’s orders, to the train and Cubs memorabilia, this is a lunch spot that just can’t be replicated. And, thank goodness, the sandwiches are great! No kids’ menu, but prices for their old-school sandwiches are reasonable. The “Deluxe” is made with turkey, bacon, tomato, lettuce, and mayo for $5.50. And did we mention the trains?
