The food in Gresham
Gresham has more than enough places to eat — the trouble is choosing between them without spending longer deciding than eating.
Savor Scout picks one restaurant in Gresham and tells you why it picked it. Say what you're craving and it reads menus and reviews for that specific dish, rather than sorting places by overall star rating. Free, runs in the browser, and one search needs no account.
Eating out in Gresham
Gresham has a population of about 109,397. A city this size has real range, and range is what makes the decision slow. Savor Scout searches up to 35 miles around Gresham, so places just outside the city are still on the table when they are worth the drive.
Gresham has more places to eat than most of the country
Gresham sits in Multnomah County, where the Census counts 1,158 full-service restaurants, 764 limited-service places, 421 cafés and snack bars and 341 bars — 2,684 places to eat or drink in all. Gresham makes up about 14% of the county's population.
At 33.2 food businesses per 10,000 residents against a national median of 19.4, this is one of the better-supplied places in the country. Choice is not the constraint here; narrowing it down is. Unusually, sit-down restaurants outnumber counter-service ones. Nationally it runs close to even and most places tilt the other way, so this is a town that eats at tables.
Those county figures also cover Portland, all within Savor Scout's search radius from Gresham.

How this differs from Google Maps and Yelp
Maps and Yelp are directories: they rank everything nearby and leave the deciding to you. Savor Scout makes the call and shows its reasoning — the match score, what it beat, and the evidence behind the pick. The underlying place data comes from the same public sources, so the difference is the selection, not the data.
