From small, independent establishments to national chains, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to necessitate an evolution in operations. Many restaurants have closed their doors but left their kitchens open in an effort to focus solely on providing meals to those on the front lines, underserved communities and children who now won’t see the inside of a cafeteria until the fall at the earliest. Others remain open to the public, but rely on takeout and the gig economy in the form of GrubHub, DoorDash and the like to drive revenue and maintain staff.

The following roundup focuses on restaurants in three dense westside suburban centers — Tigard, Beaverton, and Hillsboro — offering meals for takeout and/or delivery, plus grocery stores and markets for stocking up on pantry staples. This list is not intended to be comprehensive, and will be updated regularly with new options.
