So much historic character in this Pancake House. I enjoy the old wood, wonderful and familiar service, and fresh squeezed orange juice with my breakfast.

Food and service was good, but the place is tiny and loud when it's busy.

Just delicious, fresh, and hearty-not great for your heart- breakfast options. The coffee is surprisingly tasty above what you might expect from pancake house chain.It’s a sure bet for breakfast.

There were so many options on the menu, such as pancakes, crepes, and waffles, that it was difficult to decide what to order. Despite the plethora of choices, the prices were reasonable. We opted for the Fresh Fruit Continental Crepe and the Minced Ham and Scrambled Eggs. Both dishes had ample portions and were delicious. The crepe was filled with fresh strawberries, and the eggs were cooked perfectly. The staff was friendly and attentive, coming by multiple times to ensure we had everything we needed. I'm already looking forward to trying their other pancakes and omelets.?

Very busy but worth the wait. The restaurant has been there since 1952 and it's definitely one of the best breakfast houses I've been to in my life. They are slammed from the minute they open until they close. No reservations.

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.
