Laurelwood Brewery in E Concourse (inside security) has excellent food. I love their spinach salad with feta, chicken, candied walnuts and grapefruit slices - YUM! They're also one of our local breweries, so you can also enjoy a local microbrew or a decent selection of draught beers.
If you feel like heading down C Terminal, near C15, you'll find Gustav's which is a small chain restaurant that has some heartier meals including excellent fondue/raclette.
As someone above mentioned, prior to security, Stanford's is super. I love their Halibut Fish Tacos or one of their Flatbreads. PDX security is fast enough, especially if you have elite card which allows you expedited security screening.
Also before security is Elephant's Deli. They're the best option for Grab and Go food at the airport -- so if you're in a hurry, definitely stop their. Most of their foods (except for Mama Leone's Soup) have been pre-approved to take through security without question.
Hope that helps! PDX has the best food offerings IMO. Always happy to call it home. ;-)
