Thank you for this, I was actually hopping on yelp to start my first post asking just this question. I'll check back and see if anything gets added. It's our first Christmas here in portland and we haven't even unpacked our tree n' such...

Glad it helped!  Welcome to Portland!

So, which of those places are you taking me to, Amado?

Alas, I'll be up north during the holidays. :)

As usual.  Sigh.  

It's ok, just pick one of those and call ahead to give them your credit card number for me.  Thank you and Happy Holidays!

I would also like to add to this list Nudi Noodle House on SE Woodstock is open regular hours both days.

Oh don't worry Anna. I have his numbers on top of my head. All he needs to do is say, "Yes and enjoy the night".

you guys cray

Son, don't be a grinch and hand over your black Amex! ;)

The Original
Stanford's - Clackamas, LO, and Tanasbourne
Henry's
Daily Grill

Jake's has a sign up that they're open until 9 on Christmas Eve (I assume closed Christmas Day since it's not noted).

Basic but good stand by Shari's is open 24 hours and will have Christmas dinner.
Denny's is open too, but NE Hassalo is only 5a-1a. Not sure about the IHOPs on SE 82nd or at Cascade Station.

Stanford's at the airport should be open too, I think all airport merchants are required to operate Christmas Day (for you last minute gifters).

Amadeus Manor

The Original Dinerant  SW 6th & Oak  is open.
Brunch 8am-2 & Dinner 2-9pm Christmas Eve
Brunch 8am-2 & Dinner 2-7pm Christmas Day

Thanks for this post.  I was checking to see what bars may be open on Christmas night.  I used to bartend and it was CRAZY busy on Christmas night after everyone finished up with their relatives.

I'm pretty sure McDonalds is open, for all your McRib needs.

I'm pretty sure that McMenamins Zeus Cafe will be open today as well, since it is attached to the hotel there. In fact, that might be true of all the McMenamins locations that are hotel-restaurant combinations (Kennedy School, Edgefield). Nice! Their site is updated, and yes, I was on the right track. You can also see a movie at many of these locations, but Bagdad and Mission Theaters are CLOSED.

The saddest visual ever just popped into my head: solitary mall Santa McRibbing with sauce getting stuck in his fake beard.
