Thanks, guys. Yes, we have an Amex-tied PP. I don't think we want to leave the premises completely, the other place I was considering was the Country Cat, but I'll take a look at that link in #8 . Our Precheck is totally random, sometimes we get it, sometimes we don't.

The Henry's Tavern down the C concourse is really good (still inside security). That's full service sit down. There is also a good food court area with 4-5 places near that. They have Mo's seafood/chowder, and a good Vietnamese spot. Also a pizza place and a Yum Bowl.
Security wise the access point for the D concourse tends to be a lot less crowded and, as someone previously mentioned, the concourses connect so you can take either security point. I recently looked at the pre-check line on the B/C concourse side and there were 25+ people. Walked down to the D side and there was not a soul in line. I chatted with the TSA lady a bit and she said it's always like that. B/C has Alaska and Southwest which are the two big players at PDX. I believe that will be changing soon as a new concourse is being built for Alaska or Southwest (can't remember which).

Sunday evenings when there aren't a lot of flights they shut down precheck on the B/C side around 8pm and you have do go through security on the D side if you want to use precheck. I've never had to wait behind more than a few people on a sunday evening, though.

I've done the Screen Door on a layover before. Might have been 4 hours, a bit tight time-wise but very tasty.

Oh yeah, Boneyard is one of the best IPAs we have around here.... and there are A LOT. A small local bar I frequent got a keg of it when they were a totally unknown brewery. The demand took off so fast that they wouldn't sell to new bars until they could catch up. Everyone kept coming to the bar to try it since word was spreading and it was the only place around to get it. The whole brewing business in Oregon is out of control. Every guy in Portland makes beer in his parent's basement then borrows money to open a restaurant. It's like watching people walk off a plank. Every month there are 10 new "breweries" and 10 close.
