“I got the sausage biscuit and it was amazing. My fiancé got the chicken biscuit and he really enjoyed his. We also got the blueberry French toast and it was perfect, a lot of places can’t get French toast right but they did. Service was also amazing, she always made sure we were good on everything.“
“Best blueberry muffin I’ve ever had! Delicious breakfast sandwich with free drip coffee, and a very friendly Nana. Vegetarians: when I said I didn’t want meat on my sandwich, she offered tomato instead which I thought was a nice touch! So lucky to have this spot in the neighborhood.“
“We like to be safe and warm during the cold rainy days. Coffee is god's bitter apology for everything else. We all want to see a familiar face at the end of a long journey. A knight without a kingdom fights for the one who can understand him. A soldier in peacetime fights the battle in his mind. we are hard shelled on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. When you drop your ice cream on the ground, mother says you can have another one, yet you still cry, fearing the day when there will not be another ice cream, another weekend, a familiar face, a just ruler. The Big City with a Small Town charm. Soft clouds, soft lighting. You can sleep in. All is forgiven. Breakfast goes till 2PMGet the double stack, it will not be too much.“
“Why are you never open anymore??? This was my favorite place to go wether stopping in for breakfast with a friend or having a romantic dinner with my hunny. So many things are being done right here; the food, the bakery, and the coffee are all equally fabulous. I love that it is a low-key place, but at the same time, it has a great atmosphere of a little French bistro ? also the staff has always been on point!“
“A wonderful restaurant that has been around in the Portland area for years, and I believe it may have been the original one of the now very large multi-country chain. Always busy, and usually there is a few minutes of wait time, before you can be seated. I called for a special occasion for my elderly mother's birthday, they arranged the window seat that I requested, and even gave her a special fruit and whipped cream parfait, with a candle. Food was very good as usual, with the exception of the one thing I was craving the most, which was the corned beef hash. The taste was great, but it was as dry as I've ever had in my life, it was like eating fried sawdust. I had to take a sip of water with every bite. Unfortunately, since they had already done me favors, I didn't feel like I could complain and send it back. Otherwise, I definitely would have. Most often, the food is excellent, and that is why I am posting this review. Definitely worth trying out if you have never been there before. Enjoy!Wheelchair accessibility: There are stairs at both entrances, and they are rather steep. Definitely not a wheelchair friendly environment, unfortunately.“
“One of our favorite spots when we visit the Portland area! Expect a wait but just remember it’s for a reason. Sandwiches come out hot and fresh! Their menu is thoughtful of all dietary needs and there really is something for everyone. It’s incredible how creative they can get with simple ingredients. Just wish I could have these back in Washington!“
“This is a priceless little secret in Sellwood! The food is so delicious. Fresh and fun. The staff are friendly and welcoming and very accommodating. It's very cute inside, but prepare to wait during prime times. Was there today for the first time. I'll be back“
“We had the Boston waffle with PB&J, bananas, and whipped cream. It was delicious and the perfect size as a dessert for two people. Fluffy and light, and just filling enough. The covered portion of the patio was cozy on a rainy winter's day, while still giving a fun food cart vibe. Highly recommend.“
“LOVE that they have vegan egg options. Delicious sauce for dipping the hash browns in and generally just such a fun vibe. Cured my hangover with one greasy bite. Next time I visit Portland I'm absolutely coming back here for breakfast.“

“We went to three different places on Easter morning looking for space. The first two staff were rude and had long wait times. The staff at Elmer’s were friendly and seated us immediately. The food was served promptly and orders were correct. The manager checked every table to ensure customers satisfaction. What a pleasant experience!Parking: Large parking areaKid-friendliness: Plenty of room for larger groups and families.Wheelchair accessibility: Wide flat service - double entry doors“
“Today was my first time ever to dine at Jam. Where have I been the last 20 years?!? Congratulations to this beautiful place with such a warm vibe, deeply noted while standing in the sideways wind and rain while putting our names in with a calm and kind woman whom I later found out was the owner. There was a bit of a situation when I hadn’t realized the text came in that our table was ready. By the time we got to the door and the sign said closed, we were perplexed! Okay, maybe it was just me, because I hadn’t realized the text for our table had already come in! The owner was curious where we had been and said that even though they were closed, she would be sure to seat us as she recalled me saying it was our dear friends birthday. Even in the midst of crazy holiday crowds… The service, atmosphere, food, vibe was just what my heart needed today! You know who you are! Keep up the beautiful work- We can’t wait to go back!“
“This place was GREAT! Atmosphere is cool. Visually it's a bit of a Montague, the booths and tables are all old school vintage diner type, and the decor is a bunch of various lumberjack momentous, which is fitting for Portland. The music playing was new age, and the food a bit hipster with flare. I was a little speculative about the menu, not certain I would like it but my buddy insisted we go, he had been many times. I'm always thrown by a wide array of vegan food. Usually tastes good but I like meat. But there was plenty of meat on the menu as well. I had the St. Helen's, my buddy had a burrito, mine was absolutely phenomenal, and he said his burrito was amazing too. Service was very good and attentive, a little slow with the coffee refills, but I can be hard to keep up with so she was great.I will ? come back here and introduce othersParking: Parking lot is tiny. I parked off street.Kid-friendliness: Definitely a place I would bring the kids.“
“Little Griddle is a grand spot for a brunch. My friend Brynn brought me there after we stopped into House of Vintage and we had a great time.I got the biscuits and Gravy sandwich and absolutely loved it. The side salad was tasty and a great appetizer. We also shared the special which was a Cinnamon Toast Crunch pancake. For five bucks it was a great deal and tasty too!The staff were super kind and refilled my water quickly and often.Overall this is a great spot for brunch and I will be back!“
“My friend and I visit here every Friday evening. The staff are always friendly and accommodating. Especially Jason. He remembers regulars, and is very genuinely caring about the people he serves. The servers, including Lupita, are very prompt and nice. Your drinks never go empty! We prefer this location because it’s not only open until 10pm, but because we have had such pleasant experiences with the staff. Food is pretty darn good too! Fresh breakfast meats and French toast! Thank you!“
“I'm always happy with my menu item choices here. Friendly, helpful staff. Lots of seating options, solo counter, booths, tables, and covered outdoor tables. Upbeat decor.I only gave 4 stars for service because they were out of several items - it's a Monday morning, and maybe they had a busy weekend.Parking: Metered street parking is available“
“Love this food cart pod! We live in the neighborhood and couldn’t be happier about all the wonderful options here. It’s clean, has covered seating with heaters and so many wonderful options!! So grateful for all the vegan/vegetarian options!!! Thanks! We’ll be regulars!!“
“Okay... I don't just give 5 stars away. But, this place and these people are charming, and if you made it in for the Crab Benedict special, you'd know what it's like to have your tongue tickled in all the best ways. This historic holdout has a place in my heart.“
“The rocket sando has become the breakfast sandwich I crave above all other sandwiches. The smashed tater tot patty, cheese, egg, spicy ketchup.The staff is super nice, wait times ain’t bad, and there’s a coffee cart close by while I wait. I love this place, it’s become a favorite to go with daughter (who gets the breakfast wrap every single time).“
“Pine state was an awesome brunch! The manager Candi was hustling all over the place and still managed to make everyone feel welcome and seen. She had a great energy which carried over into the meal. She really went above and beyond to offer excellent “
“It’s all about the experience. So you want to make breakfast, but out of the house, and without the mess?! Well Slappy Cakes is your spot! Think teppanyaki, but for your morning meal. The actual food is pricey and average, but the spot, especially for bigger~ heavy kid groups is perfection. Make your own pancakes with endless add ons, right before your eyes. Parking is all street, so get there early to avoid the long waits and long walk.“
“The atmosphere is very light and fun. The staff are all very friendly and accommodating. The food is very tasty and well worth the price. The wait was well worth our experience at this restaurant. The restrooms are located in the hotel next door and you have to ask the front desk for the key. There is so street parking near by.Parking: There is some street parking“
“This place is awesome! Food was perfect (and easily made dairy-free). The people working are awesome and friendly! Even gave me some recommendations as a visitor here in Portland. Highly recommend!Dietary restrictions: Lots of dairy free and / or vegan options!“
“Great place and food. The lone waitress was amazing. However expect a long wait for service and food. I walked out one morning after five minutes of standing at the door and not being acknowledged because the lone waitress had a full restaurant.“
“I was pleasantly surprised by the house drip coffee. It was very tasty with just sugar and half n half which I haven’t usually found to be the case with most non-espresso coffee beverages. I got the biscuits and gravy and was also pleasantly surprised cause I am a biscuits and gravy snob but these were very flavorful and the right about of spicy and savory. I also got a hash brown and it was perfect! Plus whatever oil they cooked it in was very mild which enabled pure fried potato flavor“
“I had the Belgian waffle and my boyfriend had the chicken fried steak and eggs. One of the best meals I have eaten in what feels like forever. Brittany was an angel disguised as a server and I couldn’t thank her more for such an incredible dining experience.Parking: Plenty of spaces; pleasantly surprised with how easy it was to get the truck into the lot.Kid-friendliness: Loved the way the servers treated the little ones at the table beside us!“
“Wife and I tried this place recently for the first time and was pleasantly impressed with the quality and service of the restaurant. We went on a weekend and were able to get a table without a reservation. Granted we arrived 2 hours before closing so that might have helped. Either way, we had a nice meal. We will definitely make another trip here again!“
“Really cool place. It’s a bit small, but there’s like 14? Inside tables. Some outside seating as well. Garage doors for fresh air in the summer. The food is delicious and the drinks are just as good.9.5/10. Will definatly add this to the brunch rotation.“
“We had an excellent breakfast! We both got the bunkhouse vittles plate. Super yummy!Edit: Returned a couple years later and got the same exact thing ? This time with vegan sausage which was just as good if not better!This time got a hazelnut mocha latte, see picture. Extremely good!Vegetarian options: Things on the menu were marked with a red leaf when vegetarian substitutes were available“
“The food was yummy, and the atmosphere was busy. I definitely recommend the pork belly eggs Bennie and my guy recommend their blueberry pancakes.. overall, I enjoyed our bunch with lattes. The potatoes that came with was great. We went on a Saturday between 10:30am and 11am, it was steadily busy, we waited about 10 minutes to be seated and roughly 45mins for our food.“
“This is my go to American breakfast restaurant. There are some Mexican breakfast foods on the menu.The fake maple syrup is not my flavor. I dislike it. I would pay an extra buck for real maple syrup.The staff is friendly.The restaurant is very clean and appealing.Weekday mornings are the best times to enjoy a leisurely breakfast.
