Chicago dog

Everything about this was so good. I can't even find words. I was feeling overwhelmed and so cold already. The menu was easy to read. The environment was warm and friendly. The service was outstanding. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. 5 minute walk from work 10/10 will be back without a doubt. Best Philly cheesesteaks and Chicago dog we've had. But most of all giant shout out to the man who sacrificed his own comfort for mine and without question or doubt offered his heater for me. Only regret was I didn't catch his name but thank you so much

3.5 stars Twas hungry so I grabbed a quick and easy snack from this food cart which was conveniently located near our hotel. Everything from Buns On The Run is relatively cheap. For around $10 bucks, I got a Philly cheesesteak. The Philly cheesesteak comes with steak, grilled onions, bell peppers, jalapeños with melted Swiss cheese on a toasted pioneer roll. Was this the best version of this sandwich I've ever had? Definitely not, though I do suspect it had something to do with the toasted pioneer roll and lacked the girth of other Philly cheesesteaks. Despite all these minor quips, I did appreciate the addition of the jalapeños because it packed some heat into each bite. Well Downtown Portland is still in the process of recovery, so many of the renown food pods cease to exist anymore. Buns on the Run isn here for your sandwich needs.

This review is for their hot dogs only. I got two different hot dogs, all beef and their polish dog. I'd get both again anyday. What made it above average is the grilled hot dog bun, the hot dogs are cut down the middle and grilled and their grilled onions.

Chili cheese fries Philly steak sandwich

The best Philly cheese steak sandwich and chili fries I have had in a long time!! It was delicious and well seasoned! I highly recommend!

Nachos

Came here with my boyfriend and ordered s nachos and a burger. The nachos were the nasties thing I've ever eaten. All the chips were STALE and He literally dumped crumbs into the container. I'm so annoyed. The burger was okay. Not great. Not delicious. Just okay. I could've saved my money. Save yours and don't eat here.

Philly Cheese Steak add lettuce and mayo-so damn good!

What a sweet quaint little restaurant. My daughter and I went there yesterday for Mother's Day. It…read morewas a beautiful day and while they have outdoor seating we elected to eat inside. Reviewing the menu, there were lots of yummy things to choose from but ultimately we both could not resist the Lamb shank. I'm sad I didn't take a picture of it. It was so tender and delicious. It came with perfect Basmati rice and a side of eggplant stew that was exquisite! I've never had eggplant stew and it was luscious. I dream to about it all night long. It was quiet, comfortable, music was great; songs we all know but with native instruments and flare. We had house red wine - not a big selection of alcohol, which is fine the food is and should be the star. Our sever (Sorry my old lady brain forgot his name) but the good looking bald guy(LOL) was nice and personable. It was such a great low key dining experience that just made the day even better. I highly recommend this cute place and we will be back- there are a lot more wonderful food to try!

My first impression as we entered here was: the AC was on, and I'm not ready for AC (yet), and the inside was too elegant, and empty. We waited awhile, when a staff appeared. We picked a seat outside, where the weather was pleasant and shady. I needed badly, to use the restroom, so I went back inside, only to be told it's outside. The mural on the walls, obscured the door to the restroom. But, there was no TP, no paper towel, and the trash was full. I had to use a toilet seat cover paper, for my TP, and went back to my seat, not happy with what I just did! I told my husband, who then told the staff, because HE need to use the restroom, too. (We've been gone all morning, this is now lunch hour). The staff gave water, menu and we ordered: The Lamb Shank. I love the eggplant stew! There's also a small salad with the Basmati rice. Also Chicken Kabob Mezza Platter with Pita bread. It was not until we're done eating, and ready to get up, did I notice there was cubed cucumber in the thaziki. But, it's got a very strong vinegar flavor, but I did like the hummus and the ghanoush. (When we eat at these places, we always pick the lamb shanks, btw). I had the other half, for my dinner tonight. The server was friendly, helpful and responsive. The atmosphere, was pleasant, and the photo taken of me, hubby thought I could pass as an Iraqi woman! LOL Thanks for the bag. We picked some crabapples, from down the street, there were 4-5 large trees ready for the pickin' from the sidewalk.

We tried this restaurant last night for my husband's birthday weekend in Portland! Everything we ordered was delicious: falafel appetizer, shawarma chicken rice bowl, and jareesh. Since this was our first visit, they gave us an eggplant appetizer to try and we loved it too!! I topped off our meal with the Queen's tea. Yummy!! Since this was my husband's birthday they sent a piece of cheesecake home with us (we were too full to eat it immediately after dinner.) We ate it later that night and it was delicious. If I could give 10 stars, I would. Our server was so thoughtful and attentive. We will definitely return.

This Saudi-inspired spot is lowkey tucked away, super aesthetic, and connected to their cheesecake side which felt like a bonus plot twist. Service was lovely, chill vibe, very easy date night energy. Tried dishes I've never had before and omyfoodness... a surprising amount of vegan options which we love. And the Saudi coffee? Not here to play. Like Vietnamese coffee strong... borderline life choices strong. I'd absolutely be back.

The tasting menu at Mediterranean Exploration company was one of my favorite dining experiences in…read morePortland I've ever had. The atmosphere was lively and I loved the industrial, modern decor. I went on a busy Friday night and was sat right at my reservation time. Our server was personable and friendly. They had a small mocktail selection with creative options. I went with the "worth a chai", which was spicy, sweet, and tangy. The tasting menu was $75 each for two people and we got a total of 9 dishes and left full and with leftovers. Not one dish wasn't delicious and I enjoyed how each dish had an unexpected flavor or textural element to keep things interesting. All the ingredients felt fresh and the dishes were bright in color and taste. Despite the larger quantity of food, the meal overall felt well- balanced, healthy, and not too heavy or decadent. I keep thinking about the hamachi crudo that came with this amazing smoky eggplant that complemented the vinaigrette on the fish perfectly. The radicchio salad was addictingly good with the fruity burst of sweetness from the cherries. The hummus is insanely rich and pairs well with the thick, fluffy pita. I could keep going on about each dish, but these were my absolute standouts. I especially appreciated the timing of the dishes. New dishes came out right as we were finishing the last. I will be coming back here to try more of the menu.

My son treated me to flavors I've never experienced before. I didn't take pictures but it looks like there are plenty here already. We ate: Lamb Kabobs-tender meat delicious flavor. Something wrapped in Grape Leaves served with a dipping sauce-so mouth watering pleasant to every taste bud I wanted more, more, more! They serve a large, tortilla style, bread, the name escapes me, which I was able to use a variety of dips on, one a garlic mixture for dipping, I must have more! Each dip had its own flavor, cannot tell you what they were but lemon was used here and there, as well as other exotic spices. Every single thing I ate there opened with one completely satisfying flavor, and often changed to a secondary flavor that was equal too, or better than the first. Yum. The waitress was very informative and the service was efficient. The restaurant is decorated in a Middle Eastern style and it was lovely. I had their coffee. Now that was eye opening. The service they used was fancy and I truly developed an appreciation for that style-less is more, and perfect for the drive ahead. Oh! The Baklava- yes please. We had that later in the evening as there was no way to eat more at the end of the meal. Over all, I will say this: It is a restaurant I will go back too. My son treated me to a delicious meal with a man I love dearly.
