    Cinnamon roll - I wish the frosting was heated up with the roll itself
    Caitlyn Y.

    Carol's Corner is a namesake in Vancouver! Large portions, low cost, friendly staff. I tried the cinnamon roll for the first time, and admittedly was disappointed. It was much better after I took it home and reheated it in the microwave.

    Build up of grease on walls in kitchen
    Gregg H.

    After leaving a review a couple of weeks ago I decided to return to see if the owners pay attention to their customers feedback. Apparently not since the same grease build up was on the wall in the kitchen in direct view of anyone sitting at the counter. While the food and service is quite good, the attention to cleanliness is not which is disappointing.

    BLT requested crispy bacon & onion rings.

    Since my family has discovered this spot, it has become our favorite because it's honest food and you get multiple meals out of it. When we get omelettes it feeds the person for a week. lol. The last time I was there I decided to finally try something new. I got a BLT lunch w onions rings. Lemme tell ya!! The bacon was cooked perfectly crispy (they asked preference). The onion rings were perfection. Not overly greasy. My family stole a few. lol don't be scared to venture out. So far everything has been great. Service is always amazing. We often sit with Sharon and Kelly. Both are great!

    Great customer service, plenty sitting room, not too loud, and large portions. However, I think they could use a little more seasoning on their food. I had the biscuits and gravy breakfast plate and a fruit bowl. My nephew had the Mikey Burger and it was huge! He loved it.

    Ham and eggs with cottage cheese.

    I ate breakfast here on Sunday 2/23/25 I had the ham and egg scrambled and because I'm on the Carnivore Diet I substituted the hashbrowns and toast for cottage cheese. When the food arrived it was served on a huge platter. It was a large portion of food. It tasted great. I will definitely recommend this place to anyone and will be back again in the future.

    What a hidden gem! Well maybe not so hidden because it was PACKED. Even though it was busy we still got seated in under 20 min at the bar. I got the CC hash HALF order, and it was huge. I can't imagine what the full order is like. It had a perfect ratio of ham, peppers, onions, and hashbrowns. The cheese melted while you were eating which was so good. And their country gravy is amazing. My fiance got the country fried steak with no complaints. We sat in front of the kitchen which had us staring at all the food. Wish our stomachs were bigger so we could try more! Their cinammon rolls, milkshakes, and burgers looked amazing. All the staff was nice and gave it that homey feel.

    Single Large Pancake

    I have been driving by Carol's for a couple years taking my grandkids to school. There's always a long line out the door, so I never wanted to wait. But today, my wife had a breakfast urge, there was no line so it was our chance. First mental note, don't go unless you are hungry. They provided some of the largest portions of quality food I've ever seen. I had the 1/2 order sausage, mushroom and cheese omelet. The 1/2 order is a 3 egg omelet. It was huge, loaded with sausage chunks and mushrooms. This omelet could have fed my entire family. I also had the hash browns and ordered them extra crispy. They were served perfectly. The side of sourdough toast was also great. My wife had scrambled eggs, bacon, and biscuits with gravy. The bacon was thick country boy slices, again no skimping. It was a great meal. We also had a side large pancake, wanting to test a variety of items. Again, a huge pancake that could have been a standalone meal. We asked the waitress if there was anything special we should try. She suggested the homemade cinnamon roll. We took that to go. The cinnamon roll was a monster. It was after dinner dessert and fed the entire family. The grandkids loved it! The service was great and the ambiance made you feel right at home. It was a great meal and a location I'd recommend. Just remember, you can get a couple extra plates and eat off one dish.

    1/2 order of CC's hash
    Kiva H.

    Visited today for the first time with my mom. Service was great and the staff is extremely friendly. We will be back, please make sure to get a cinnamon roll! I enjoyed the French toast special and mom had the 1/2 order of the CC's hash.

    Cc hash half order w/ Country Gravy & Eggs Benedict.
    Anthony R.

    Carol's is a classic "greasy spoon" local diner. Big, sometimes HUGE portions of food depending on what you order. You aren't gonna get 5 star restaurant service here, but you shouldn't be expecting that in the first place. The food is always pretty darn good, and you definitely won't go hungry. *Pro tip- Order your hashbrowns extra crispy or they will come out pretty soft.

    It has hashbrowns, bacon, ham, onions, cheese, tomato, top with country gravy they are always consistent

They are a scratch kitchen, meaning everything is prepared in their kitchen and it's noticeable. We ran into the chef and he said they make everything but "the bread and the ketchup!" For lunch, we had the meat lover's pizza (real pieces of bacon) and ceasars salad (with an actual anchovy) - both delicious. At breakfast, we got the benedict and spinach mushroom omelet that came with incredible potatoes (trying to figure out how to replicate these!) Also got a side of bacon, which was melt-in-the-mouth good. Super tasty. We only had breakfast and lunch, but we were very happy and would come back in a heartbeat. Every server was incredibly friendly and solicitous, checking in on us with Goldilocks frequency (i.e., just right). Prices were also reasonable and, if this isn't enough for you, how would you like a view of the river while you dine?!? There is a lovely patio but you don't have to sit outside to enjoy the view.

I swung by this spot for a weekday lunch with a few friends; parking was PACKED and I was honestly worried if I would get a spot until someone pulled out just as I drove in. Fair warning, it fills up even with a pretty good sized lot. Friends had arrived before me but the host and staff were super nice in helping me locate them. They also let us rearrange the outside table a bit so we could all sit closer/hear/talk more easily. Nooow, the food l o l if you scan the lunch menu, there are literally only a handful of vegetarian friendly items; most of which are apps/salads with a single vegetarian entree, the impossible burger. I opted to grab the burrata salad (6 oz per the starter size) and though it was good, I wish I had been able to get a more substantial entree or main. My friends got a variety of bowls, rolls, and pastas. They also grabbed the strawberry shortcake at the end which ended up being more like an ice cream sandwich with shortbread, surrounded by strawberries. This was good, but not great, and certainly not what I think about when I think strawberry shortcake. This place is fine overall and honestly deserves kudos for the view and the staff; but sadly not a spot I would take vegetarian friends.

    This was my first time visiting the area for leisure, and we decided to give this restaurant a try…read morebased on its inviting atmosphere. We were seated within just a couple of minutes, which made for a great first impression. One thing I noticed right away was that the dining room seemed to be operating with a limited staff. I only saw two servers working, so it took a little while before someone came to greet us, bring water, and take our drink order. Throughout the meal, we also had to flag down our server a few times for water refills. Despite that, once we placed our food order, everything came out fairly quickly. Our table ordered a variety of dishes, including fish and chips, sushi, steak, salads, and dessert, so we were able to sample several different menu items. Overall, everyone enjoyed their meals. My fish was a little dry, and the fries were thinner than I prefer and had cooled off by the time they reached the table. I also noticed the tartar sauce was different from what I'm used to--it tasted more like ranch dressing with a hint of horseradish. They also didn't offer cocktail sauce, which is something I personally enjoy with fish and chips. Those are personal preferences, but they're worth mentioning for anyone considering that dish. On the positive side, the sushi, steak, and salads received good reviews from everyone at the table, and the desserts were an excellent way to finish the meal. The restaurant itself had a pleasant atmosphere, and despite the limited staff, everyone was friendly and doing their best to keep up with the dinner rush. Overall, we had a good experience. While there were a few things that could have been better, nothing was bad enough to ruin the evening. If I find myself back in the area, I would probably try another restaurant simply because there are so many options nearby. However, if I did return here, I would likely order something different from the menu. Based on what the rest of my family enjoyed, I think some of the other dishes may be a better choice.

We were on our way to visit Mt. Hood that day and I saw that Nayhely's Place wasn't too far from where we were staying. The reviews were solid, and the food looked delish. I didn't want anything too heavy or massive and I could tell that the food there had a homemade touch. The prices were reasonable too. Upon arrival, we easily found a parking spot right in front of the restaurant. The restaurant itself was pretty bare bones, but clean, and there were several groups of older folk dining in. It was around 10 am, but it was quiet and peaceful. I love that this restaurant is family-run, and one of the daughters quickly seated us at a comfy booth. It didn't take too long for us to decide on our meals. I went with the corned beef hash breakfast while my husband went with the bacon breakfast. Both of us chose scrambled eggs, hash browns, and sourdough toast. Our food arrived pretty quickly, and I was so excited to dig in. The corned beef hash was perfectly seasoned, with plenty of onions and bell peppers. I've never had good corned beef hash (besides the ones from a can) and this was excellent. The meat was tender as well. The hash browns were perfectly crispy on the outside while soft on the inside, and the eggs were fluffy. The toast came buttered but we asked for jam as well. I had a bite of my husband's bacon and it had the most satisfying crunch. We added Tapatio to our eggs and I also added ketchup to my hash browns. Both sauces definitely elevated my breakfast. Overall, I was very pleased that the meal was balanced in terms of portion size and flavor and not very oily. I left feeling full, but not stuffed, which is always key for me when dining at a breakfast spot. My digestive system also doesn't always enjoy breakfast food after, but I had zero problems with the food here. I'm so glad we stumbled upon Nayhely's Place while searching for a yummy breakfast spot in Vancouver, and would love to support this family-run business again the next time we visit the PNW!
