Portuguese Fried Rice
Breanne O.

I went to Cheryl's with a group of 8 people for a Sunday brunch and made a reservation on their website in advance. When we got to the restaurant, we had to wait for about 10-15 minutes to get our table. The front of house staff was very friendly but it looked like they were super busy and we didn't really know how long we would have to wait for. We ordered a bunch of different food. I got the Portugese fried rice (pictured) and the chicken and biscuits with gravy. The portugese fried rice was highly recommended so I got it. It tastes good but it wasn't anything mind-blowing. I think I might've hyped it up too much in my head. The chicken and biscuits, on the other hand, were so so so delicious. The chicken was crunchy, biscuits were fluffy, and the gravy was so flavorful. They gave us compliments beignets that were fresh out of the fryer. They were so light and eggy. So good!

From start to finish this place was amazing. I don't think I've ever had fried rice for breakfast and wasn't going to try it, but our waitress convinced 3 out the 4 of us to give it a try. I am so glad I did. I enjoyed every single bite as did the rest of the table. It is a LOT of food, so come hungry. The next time you are in Portland, I'd definitely recommend coming here.

Cheryl's is FUN. Packed, a little chaotic, and somehow that's part of the charm. We got routed through the kitchen like we were in a behind-the-scenes tour and popped out into a whole other dining area in the back... I was like wait, there's more?? They go all in on decor too, think fall meets Halloween explosion and I was fully here for it. Super vegan friendly with a separate menu for vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options which made ordering easy. Service was AAAAMAZING across the board, every single person was on it. We had a small food mishap, mentioned it, and BAM the manager appeared, apologized, and fixed it immediately. I ordered the vegan steak and yep, I'd get it again. Portions are big enough to share... or not, no judgment.

One of Downtown Portland's better breakfast spots as listed in a local publication, it didn't disappoint. The build your own omelette was wonderful.. and the latte to accompany was perfect. They have some unique options which seem to be very popular.. but the beignets before your meal arrives is reason enough to go! Waitstaff is plentiful and very nice, I really enjoyed this large cafe style restaurant, and the outdoor seating option was a plus.

After what I thought was an interestingly long wait (5-6 mins) when we walked in the door, we were finally seated and ended up having a really great breakfast here this morning. Our server, Sara, was absolutely delightful; one of the best servers I've had anywhere at any time. The food came out quickly, and it was a very ample portion of vegetable scramble that came with red potatoes and wheat toast. Our coffees and lattes were very good. Very clean and orderly restaurant.

I love this shot.

Visiting over Labor Day Weekend for brunch with some friends and we are so glad we made a quick stop over at Cheryl's! To our surprise, we were welcomed by Miss Cheryl herself. She was working alongside the staff clearing tables, and walking guests inside all morning! The staff were more than accommodating and the service was remarkable. It felt as though everyone was genuinely happy to help. Food was fantastic and the cinnamon rolls are a MUST. Our waiter (I forgot his name), had a great attitude despite the many moving parts. Below is a photo I shot of Cheryl that I just love and you can feel her vibrance through the lens. Highly recommend. Will be back sometime for dinner service too!

Complementary beignet
Pete S.

I walked by here in afternoon and it was packed so I came back the next morning with my friends for breakfast. It was packed, and the host told us it was 15 minutes. We came back promptly since phone never rang but they moved us over to the seated line. Upon seating their complimentary beignets were super good. I also thought their corned beef hash was a must order. I ordered their biscuit and gravy and also their poutine which had the same identical sauce/gravy. (I would probably skip these two dishes tho) One of my friends had the apple frittwhich which is a play on sweet and salty. It tasted fine but I was expecting more. I really dig how superb the service was here considering how many tables this place had. I also wanted to applaud the manager on duty that morning to offer a homeless man coffee / food / emergency services when he was saying his head hurts. She handled it professionally and ironically we saw that same homeless man an hour later walking down the same street. (He never asked for any of the services also) Overall, we had an enjoyable breakfast in a bustling area closest to downtown. Reasonable prices and terrific service makes this a spot i would come back in a heartbeat.

Signage
Ja'Nelle S.

Cheryl's on 12th was okay, in my opinion. We went there on a Sunday. It was packed, however, we had a reservation. I believe even with the reservation, it took about 30 minutes for them to seat us. The food was good, but needed a bit more flavor. I had the Salmon Benedict with cheesy hash browns. I didn't realize that corn flakes would also be included with the cheesy hash browns. The restaurant was crazy loud and while the service started out good, Georgina, our server stopped coming by after a while. I had to ask someone to get her so we could pay and leave. I may try to visit again on a less busy day.

Short rib eggs benedict
Thu D.

Wished I had enjoyed this place more. Maybe I got the wrong dish and another would have been better. I got the short rib eggs benedict, and it was quite heavy and one-dimensional. It would have been better with spinach, maybe onions or bell peppers in the potatoes, anything to cut through the richness. Unfortunately, the flavor profile was lacking.

Specials
Karl A.

Awesome breakfast stop! We had a small group of us, and we got a table fast. The service was great and we had our order in fast. The food took a while, but it was worth the wait. So many great dishes. From classic bacon and eggs to some wilder options, there was something for everyone. It was all great! Great food, great service!

Mexican mocha and complementary beignets
Risya L.

We just dined at Cheryl's, and Georgia was our waitress, she was absolutely AUHMAZING! This was our first visit, and it did not disappoint. The space is cozy and inviting, with an open kitchen right in the center as you walk up the slight incline from the entrance. There's a charming little café area to the right and restaurant seating to the left. The large windows overlooking the city from this beautiful old building create the perfect atmosphere, especially on a cold, rainy day. We were greeted with fresh, hot beignets to start, which was such a treat. My husband enjoyed the Mexican Mocha, and I had the London Fog, both were perfect for warming up on a chilly morning. We couldn't decide what to order, so we split the Huevos Rancheros, and wow... it was AUHMAZING too! It was loaded with zucchini, broccoli, potatoes, carrots, spinach, and caramelized onions. We added linguiça sausage, which took it over the top. Every bite was delicious. To make the experience even better, Georgia brought us a sample of the Portuguese Fried Rice, which was incredibly thoughtful and gave us another reason to come back and try more of the menu. By the end of our meal, our bellies were full, we were warm and cozy from our drinks, and we were already talking about our next visit. So glad we found this gem thanks to Yelp. We'll definitely be back! Thank you, Georgia, for making our first visit such a memorable one!

Pancakes
Janay T.

First stop in Portland after a long day of travel and this was the perfect choice. We wanted something on the lighter side, since it was between lunch and dinnertime, and this worked out beautifully. They serve breakfast all day, which was exactly what we needed. I ordered the pancakes and they were huge. My friend had one of the breakfast sandwiches with cheesy hashbrowns on the side. The food was tasty and the service was friendly. It was a great meal to start off our vacation.

Migas
Tram D.

I got the migas and I enjoyed my scramble with the tortilla but wished it came with more than two as I felt like I had to ration it. eggs were fluffy and everything was well seasoned. loved the chorizo they used. the complementary beignets were delicious but not what I was expecting for a beignet. they were moist and fluffy on the inside and not too sweet.

Beignets, sort of a French-Cajun donut, very light and tasty.

First off, what a stylish, refined-yet-casual atmosphere. Love the layout of the restaurant; it was bright and spacious. They have a variety of tables and booths for various party sizes, plus outdoor dining! All the staff were smiling, kind, and friendly! Our food and drinks came out very quickly. We ordered a good share of items since we wanted to try a variety of things! From the happy hour menu, we got the Boudin Balls and Romaine Wedge Salad. From their dinner menu, we ordered the Virginia Ham Deviled Eggs (upgraded), Local Fried Green Tomatoes, Yellow Grits, Crawfish Etouffee, and Chicken and Waffles Two Pieces. It was my first time trying most of these things. My favorite app was the fried green tomatoes; they weren't wet, were nicely breaded, and were well seasoned. All the fried items were perfectly fried! The eggs, since we upgraded to trout roe, were very salty. The boudin balls were dense, savory, and meaty--not my personal favorite. I enjoyed trying the grits, but my favorite was the crawfish! It was sweet and savory, the sauce was a good consistency, and the portion was generous. The chicken and waffles were fabulous--I can see why they're popular! I don't normally eat this, but it was the perfect mix of savory and sweet; I loved the sweet potato too! Screen Door is a popular spot in Portland, and I can see why! It's a must-visit for visitors and tourists. You'll find it in the Pearl District, off Couch Street.

Foie gras dumplings were also memorable but I don't necessarily need to get it again. The arugula salad was refreshing although I'd ask to have it accompany the duck stacks next time to have a refreshing side. I love fish so I expected to love the chicken fried trout but it was just alright compared to the other dishes. The Paris brest was excellent. Personally, a little too much passionfruit tartness for me but loved the milk crumbles. Heartless Rita mocktail tasted too much like juice for me.

First, I'll start with the positive: Tacos de Pescado were quite good, and perhaps the only thing worth coming for here. They were seasoned very nicely and had great texture and appearance. Absolutely the highlight here. The only thing that could have improved them was just a bit of sweetness in the chipotle mayo, since the sauce was a little bit unbalanced. But they were still very tasty. However, there were a couple things that we experienced that really ruined our visit: (1) Price gouging/stinginess (2) The bitchy hostess I totally get the 2026 times that we're in and that places need to operate on tighter budgets. You want me to seat myself when times are busy? Sure. Go up to the bar to order? Alright. Refill my own water? Meh, not a big deal. But there is a way to do those things without treating customers like pests. We showed up shortly after 3pm and this place was COMPLETELY empty, other than the hostess and bartender. We saw the sign that said to seat ourselves, so we did. Hostess came over and just told us to look over the menus and go to the bar when we're ready to order. I tried to ask her for any recommendations, but her body language clearly said she just wanted to walk away. Then she just went over to the bar, and chatted with coworkers. Then one other couple showed up and I watched the same thing happen -- she just kept looking for the first opportunity to step away and go back to doing nothing. Fine, I am capable of having a good time without her, except the menu was sort of confusing about pricing for their signature "machete" quesadillas; they allow you to order a build-your-own with up to 4 different fillings, but the menu has a weird diagram showing the quesadilla spilt into 4 pieces, and each additional filling had another $4 charge to the order. I called her over to ask if the additional fillings were added to the whole machete, or just a portion of it. She said that any fillings you order are basically substitutions, and will be added IN PLACE of existing fillings. I clarified "So the amount of food is the same, and you're just charging extra for me to choose a different filling?" She confirmed yes. "So why do you guys offer a build-your-own option and then charge 2x-4x more for the same amount of food?" She got a bitchy attitude and just said "I don't know, that's just the way the chef does it," and walked away. So I just ordered a machete that was 1/2 chorizo and 1/2 steak. It makes zero sense to me that I would be charged less to order a steak machete instead of steak on one half and chicken or pork on the other half. It's the exact same amount of food. It's not like they let you combine fillings together or anything -- they literally just cut the machete into different sections and give you one filling. By the way, turns out the machete was 100% not worth ordering anyway, which is disappointing considering that this is their signature dish here. The tortillas were dry and bland, the cheese was rubbery, and the fillings were mushy and totally underwhelming. Clearly just some giant batch of meats made a couple days ago that get reheated to order, so again, not sure why they're so weird about the price-gouging. Even funnier, the menu even says that the fillings are "generous." What a scam. But then things got even worse. When the hostess brought my machete, I noticed that there was literally just one tiny dot of crema on the plate, and there was a red sauce and green sauce in the tiniest, half-filled cups. I immediately brought to her attention that there was no cup for the crema, and asked her if I could please get one. She told me I already had some on the plate, and pointed to the dot. I asked if I could please get more than the "dot," and she promptly informed me she would need to add more charges to my meal if I wanted any more sauces. Just absolutely unbelievable stinginess. Her attitude and the price-gouging completely ruined my experience. And what's worse, is the machete isn't even worth its namesake. Those fish tacos are the only thing worth getting. I hope this helps anyone planning to come here. My recommendation would be to skip this place entirely, but if you insist on coming, just get the tacos, skip the machete, and be prepared for price-gouging.

Between the genuinely friendly hospitality and the flavor combinations, this spot hits it out of the park and is a must for sandwich lovers. Griddled Mortadella (5/5): An incredibly delicious sandwich that perfectly balances rich, salty, and savory flavors. It comes loaded with a generous portion of grilled mortadella and melted provolone cheese, perfectly moistened with a tangy mustard aioli. The fresh lettuce and bell peppers added a satisfying crunch to every bite. Chefwich - K-Town Steak Sandwich (5/5): A limited-time creation packed into a banh mi roll. It had a generous portion of perfectly tender and sweet bulgogi steak that pairs with their melted jack cheese. The gochujang mayo sauce had a subtle and sweet heat, while the fresh kimchi added crunch and slight acidity to balance the rich meat. Elote Tater Tots (5/5): Definitely a creative side dish. The tots were perfectly fried and topped elote style with cotija cheese, pairing well with the smoky chipotle mayo on the side. Logistics Tip: Street parking is surprisingly easy to find in the surrounding area, even on a busy weekend evening. The restaurant has a spacious layout with plenty of seating options both inside and outside.

A Little Neighborhood Gem Worth Finding!…read more While visiting Oregon, my friend and I decided to make a quick stop at Loretta Jean's Pie Shop, and I'm so glad we did! First off, this is one of those places where you'll probably need to find parking on a side street and walk a little, but trust me, it's worth it! The shop is tucked right into a neighborhood, and it has such a cute, cozy feel. It honestly reminded me of someone taking Grandma's old kitchen and turning it into a little diner. There's a counter, a rotating pie display case, and plenty of baked goodies to tempt you, but obviously the pies are the stars of the show! I decided to try a slice of salted honey pie, while my friend ordered the banana cream pie. Now, I'd never had salted honey pie before, and WOW! I really enjoyed it! It had such a wonderful flavor that I actually left wanting to try baking one myself. My friend let me taste her banana cream pie, and the best way I can describe it is like eating a banana cloud! The cream practically melted in my mouth, and it had that lovely banana flavor without being overpowering. It was delicious! The prices were reasonable, especially considering the portions. These aren't tiny little slices of pie. They're generous, tall slices that actually feel worth what you're paying. They also have sodas and water available if you want something to drink. The shop was a little crowded when we visited, but honestly, I can understand why! You might have to wait in line or wait for a table, but you can also take your pie to go. There's some outdoor seating as well, which is a nice option. We stopped in for what was supposed to be a quick snack, and it turned out to be one of those little places I'm really glad we discovered. Cute atmosphere, delicious pie, generous portions, and reasonable prices. I would absolutely go back again! If you're in the area and love pie, this little neighborhood gem is worth a stop!

Ok, well now, I guess I just have to go back because I know there's some pie there calling my name. Cute and adorable, Lauretta Jean's is all it's reputation makes it out to be.

I wish I'd gone back and gotten some pie as well but hey, you know that just means I have to return. Check out some of the kinds of pies: salted honey, lemon chess, chocolate honeycomb, tart cherry and more. As well as pies, there were brownies, cookies, scones, biscuits, rugalach and more fabulous items filling the display case. Quick - go get you some! And have an espresso to top it off! You won't be disappointed.
