    Portuguese Fried Rice Santa F Pasta
    Bhavneet S.

    We went for Sunday brunch, and despite it being so busy, they got us in pretty quickly, and the service was good too. The Santa Fe pasta was hot, creamy, and filling. The bread was a little difficult. The Portuguese fried rice had a good mix of veggies, and the sausage made it complete. I would recommend the egg option for more flavor. The inside is nice, and I love that it was dressed up for Easter.

    Bright space with lots of windows, tall ceilings and seasonal decor... tried the Green Omelet & Huevos Rancheros. If you get an omelette, I recommend try it with the potatoes. They have a nice seasoning that actually complements the Omelet. First few bites of the omelette were a little bland till got the part with the feta in it. Their coffee is a local coffee. The server did a great job of keeping the coffee topped off. Though the coffee comes with sugar and cream it's tastier on its own. The complementary beignets were delicious. Airy and not overly sweet.

    Been here a few times now- amazing service and lovely atmosphere. Plenty of seating and even tho it's packed, I'm able to get a table quickly. Staff is amazing and very friendly. Portuguese fried rice is recommended for a reason. It's very savory and it's the spot, especially when you add the fried egg. I've had bacon wrapped dates which were HELLA GOOD. Drinks are fire too, well crafted and they have quality mimosas. I had the cinnamon and it is ONE OF BEST I've ever had. When I'm in the area & they're open, I will stop by just to get one lol. It's famous for a reason. The quality is amazing and it not gimmicky. Just good comfort food that will hit the spot.

    Portuguese Fried Rice

    Visiting Portland and found this place on yelp for breakfast. Made a reservation and glad I did, this place was very busy when we came around 10am. The servers were attentive and very kind. Even got complimentary beignets. We got a split mimosa for $22 instead of $12.50 each glass. Came with a cute bottle and a small oj. The fried rice was so yummy and the crab benedict was probably the best crab benny i've had ever. It was real Dungeness crab was and they did not skimp. potatoes were alright but the benny was so yummy and the asparagus added a nice green crunchy layer. would love to go back!

    We were visiting Portland and looking for a place to eat, and Cheryl's on 12th was on my itinerary, so we decided to check it out. The wait wasn't nearly as long as described, which was nice--probably helped that we were only a party of two. That said, once seated, it felt a bit uncomfortable being placed in the middle of a very crowded dining room, especially with tables packed closely together. The food came out quickly, and the coffee was great, which we appreciated since we were short on time. Overall, though, the experience felt a little overhyped for a breakfast spot. It wasn't bad by any means, but there are probably other places we would try next time. Since it was nearby and convenient, it worked for this trip--but I wouldn't go out of my way to return.

    Sheesh, this place is busy, and understandably so. We waited approx 15 minutes on a Sunday morning, which wasn't too bad. Overall, I had a pleasant experience. While I did end up with crab cartilage in my crab benedict, and egg shell as well, it was addressed. I appreciate the customer service and acknowledgment on Cheryl's part for this. It was made right and not brushed under the rug. I enjoyed the food otherwise! I didn't care for the free beignets, but liked everything else. While I didn't get a chance to come back while visiting, next time I would still dine here, as the food was delicious and the customer service is wonderful.

    Fun brunch spot we stumbled upon during our trip to Portland! The beignets were so light and delicious--truly the cherry on top of an already amazing experience. The service was fantastic: attentive, friendly, and incredibly helpful with suggestions on other places to check out around the city. Portions were generous, and definitely get the hash browns--you won't regret it!

    Came to Oregon to visit a friend he took us here and I must say the Portuguese fried rice was a MUST have! Mini chilaquiles were amazing as well! Service was quick and we got seating pretty much immediately! Loved the building and the ambiance was typical of a brunch spot! I definitely recommend this spot if you're looking some good brunch!

    Flavor (5/5): They started the table off with free beignets which were fluffy and warm! I got their Portuguese fried rice which was a different kind than what I'm used to but very delicious! I don't usually have avocado on my fried rice but for some reason it works. The Portuguese sausage is sweet with the savory rice it was definitely filling. Instagram Worthy (4/5): Cute restaurant with tables that felt like a french cafe. Their plating for their food is very simple, nothing fancy. Service (4/5): Got our coffee order wrong but they did give our birthday girl a free birthday dessert even for breakfast which was such a sweet touch! Takeaways: Solid breakfast spot for the area we were shopping in.

    Cheryl's on 12th is amazingly delicious! So cute! Such great, friendly and attentive staff, how could we ask for more? We had a couple Bloody Marys, a fig and feta cheese sandwich, and a vegan wrap. It was all super delicious, and Cheryl's on 12th is a must do every time we're in town.

    Great cafe with friendly service, great food and festive decor! We were able to snag a reservation for 3 we appreciate how friendly service was. This restaurant gets really busy for breakfast and brunch! They have a lot of seating! We loved the drinks and they gave complimentary beignets which were delicious! Portions are large so my husband and I shared the fried rice. Absolutely delicious!

    Cheryl's on 12th is in a busy part of town that really only allows for street parking other than possible parking garages in the area so it did take a few minutes of driving around to be able to find a parking spot. The place was pretty crowded so I opted to sit at the breakfast bar towards the back and am really glad I did. I got to have breakfast with a show and got food gifts to try out while I waited. One thing I have never considered for breakfast (other than maybe leftovers) would be fried rice but the kitchen staff offered me a small place of their Portuguese Fried Rice to try out. Pretty good! Along with that I got a sweet treat of a donut hole of some kind and I certainly wasn't complaining about that. I ordered my go-to breakfast to try at new place of their one biscuit & sausage gravy and had two eggs added to the top. I love that they offer a one biscuit option as two are always too much for me. I ordered a mimosa, which they offered different flavors for other than the usual so I decided to try the Lavender, they were kind enough to also bring my orange juice juuuuuuuust in case I wasn't feeling the Lavender. I gotta say, all the staff gave me exceptional service and made my breakfast wonderful.

    My unfinished Tiramisu Latte to-go!
    Jenny C.

    Cheryl's on 12th is a great brunch/lunch spot right smack in buzzing downtown Portland. You can see the crowd waiting outside--and there are small outside tables along the perimeter two-walls of the restaurant. The indoor dining area features high ceilings and cleverly arranged 'Tetris-like' tables that maximize seating space We opted for in-door dining, so waited for another 10 minutes, during late 1:30PM lunchtime crowd. The moment we walked in, we were cheerfully greeted and we saw the bustle of the café set the tone for a delightful meal. The place seems like an organized busyness. :)) For our starters, we got lattes but I'd opted for the seasonal drink - tiramisu latte!! I sort of got "drinker regret" when I saw the table, within arm reach, ordered and had the mimosas--something lavender and guava, as well! Despite being busy (as this place often is!), our server was attentive and friendly, she even made a couple menu -- Portuguese Fried Rice and Country Fried Steak --both very generous portions, hearty and delicious. My fried rices plate comes with a slice of avocado so tops off nicely!!! The meal is heavenly! We literally rolled out of the restaurant so glad we walked into town. :)) I'm going to bookmark this place so I can return to try other menu items!!!

To eat I got the tomato soup with a grilled cheese, which was absolutely fantastic. The soup was so creamy and flavorful, and I cannot imagine a better meal after spending all day walking outside in the rain. The fries were super crispy and I liked the batter. My partner and I shared some of their breadsticks, which were deliciously baked (fresh!) and came with a super refreshing basil crema and a nice tomato-y dip. Wonderful all. My partner ordered fish and chips, and was surprised to find that it is one large fillet of fish, not multiple pieces like you would typically expect. He said the fish was fine, but a little tough. Overall, a wonderful experience. I definitely hope to return. I highly recommend this place as a refuge during the cold winter months!

The space itself is smaller and intimate, so bringing a larger group than about 4-5 people might not be ideal. The ambiance definitely gave Italy vibes, for sure. The chicken liver mousse was a good consistency, paired with the figs gave a nice balance between sweet and savory. The steak frites was a classic, steak was a good portion and cooked medium rare, but I'm sure if you wanted it more cooked through, you could make that request. The fries were definitely a standout, great texture and the garlic flavor gave a good contrast to the steak. My favorite dish was the dessert, the flaky crust gave a nice texture to the cream insides. I'm a huge passionfruit fan, so once I saw it was on the menu, I knew I had to try it. It didn't disappoint and I would definitely come back just for this dish alone. Overall a solid experience and would recommend people to try Canard out at least once!

This entree was $38. But the biggest offense was that I wrote the restaurant about my experience and they did not respond.

I wanted to move, but hubby won't! No matter how much I begged, he ain't movin'. Then, I said: 'the music here is too loud.' His answer? 'There's always something!' So I stayed. I checked out the Patio. It might work, for the group. At least, there's one of us, who love alcohol. That may give them a reason to come. (She's driving the rest of the group). Since we are heading to an event, not far from here, we didn't have much time to take leftovers home, we didn't have a cooler, it's almost 80 degrees out, so we decided to eat something we could share. We picked the BBQ COHO Salmon Sandwich. Seared Coho salmon glazed with Bourbon BBQ sauce topped with baby Aragula and pickled red onions on a Portland French toasted potato bun. There's a $2 discount recess during happy hour (3-5pm). We were there at that time. (Is that the reason WHY the music were soo loud?) It was served with hand-cut fries. Both were just the perfect taste (delicious), and size for both of us. But, for some reason, I was still tempted to have something else. We looked at the desert menu, and decided on the Peach Crumble. Food taste so much better, when shared! Enough said. (We waited so long for this one, that we almost didn't made it to our event! We were enjoying our time here, that by the time we got to our car, we were rushing, and made it two minutes later we would have been late!) Negative: Music is too loud! Restroom could be improved. Do we need to see those words written on the board? I agree about ICE, but, that is not something we want to see.
