We walked over to see no one inside so right up to the counter we went after looking the menu over.

Decor is plastic seats attached to table, black and white checkers with white tiles. Soon there were more and more people coming in. In no time our food was ready. Chicken was super crispy and meat hot. Gyro was good, nothing special really but good. No surprises. We may be back if in the area

It's also one of the spots that has started doing an UNREAL late night happy hour. Honestly, I don't know what folks are doing these days where a bar is so empty at 9pm on a Friday night (seems to be a nation wide trend) but many of the off peninsula bars are doing these late night happy hours and you should really take advantage. For take-out we're big fans of the tender dinner or just three tendies with buffalo sauce. This past Friday we took advantage of the deal and got 6 smoked wings with jerk dry rub and house sauce, fried cauliflower (so good), and some drinks. Here's the breakdown of the deal: 8pm-close $1 wings $2 Ice pik drinks $3 16oz drafts $5 apps

Great Food, Huge Portions, and Incredible Cornbread! We…read morevisited Smoked in Portland for Father's Day lunch and had a really great overall experience. The inside of the restaurant is very nice, easy to find, and they have plenty of parking, which is always a huge plus. The food was definitely the star of the show. We started with the fried mushrooms with ranch, and they were absolutely fantastic--highly recommend sharing a basket of these! For the main courses: Pulled Pork Dinners: My husband and daughter both ordered this and said it was absolutely fantastic. Wing Dinner: My son-in-law loved his wings. Quesadilla: I had the quesadilla, which was decent flavor-wise, but a bit messy to eat because most of the filling fell right out as soon as I picked it up. The highlight of the entire meal was the cornbread muffin served with honey butter. It was honestly the best cornbread I have ever tasted! The portions here are massive, making it very easy for our granddaughter to pick a little bit off everyone's plates, and we still all came home with boxes of leftovers. I love the names of the kid's meals, so creative!! The only minor downsides were that the service was just "okay" (nothing bad, just didn't really stand out), and they had live country music playing. While the music itself wasn't bad, I'm personally not a fan of the genre and found it a bit too loud for conversation. The incredible food and great atmosphere mean we will definitely be back.

All I can say after a few bites, I was so excited to have days of leftovers!! Heat the leftovers in an air fryer and it's as good as new. We can't wait to try it again...but it will be a while...maybe in a month? I will feel like fried chicken again! LOL The mac and cheese was ok - it was batch mac which means the noodles are not al dente, over cooked for my taste. The french fries were nice shoe string fries with sprinkling of seasoning. Not sure what, but it was tasty. We also got a nice salad they happily customized to not have onion. We were greeted immediately upon entry and it was a bit snowy so he allowed me and my sister out the side door where we parked, So nice and kind!! The place inside was simple cafeteria style set up. I will definitely buy chicken again for takeout.

I really love the interior and exterior of this place, it is quaint but really feels like you're in a cute chippy in Europe. Really clean and and bright inside so whether you are dining on the outdoor tables or inside you still enjoy the sunshine. I arrived right before 3 when happy hour starts and i'm glad i did because it fills up quick! It got very busy but the staff really kept up and got good and drinks to everyone incredibly quick so props to them! Great prosecco and beer on happy hour. We ordered the hot fish which is the same fish and batter used in the lil chippy plate as well so that is a great deal on the happy hour menu. Great spicy remoulade on it and the fish was crispy and fresh. We also ordered the classic lil chippy and i really thought this was a great price for the quality you get. Great big portion and perfectly crisp. Fries are wonderful as well and we opted to do an extra old bay aioli added on which i recommend! This will definitely be a place i'll come back too, i think the ambiance is super cute and fun, the staff was excellent, and the food is simple and well executed and so delicious!

What a great spot to get a vegetarian meal in Portland. We were excited to see two…read moreEritrean/Ethiopian restaurants in town, and we picked the Red Sea because their food looked great in photos online. It has a definite hole-in-the-wall aesthetic, but as soon as we stepped inside and smelled the food, we knew we were in the right place. We ordered the veggie combo for two people. Of note, it did not include shiro (ground chickpea curry), so we had to add that for an extra $10. We also wanted to add ful fava, so we could try every single veggie option, but they were out that day. The food took awhile to come out, so we were ravenous by the time it arrived, but it was worth the wait. We loved every bite. Unlike many other Eritrean/Ethiopian places we have tried, the Red Sea did not put excessive salt or oil on the food, just enough for it to be really tasty. In particular, we loved the lentil/okra dish, which we had never tried before. Just delicious. We also asked for the food to be extra spicy, so they brought us a little side of extra berbere powder. It did the trick! The injera was very fluffy and fresh. Of note, they sometimes close early if they have a rush earlier in the day, so keep that in mind before you go.

The interior is small but has a decent amount of booth seating. The service is also very warm. Came here for dinner on a cold day and ordered a veggie sampler and beef tibsi for two people. Everything was exceptionally tasty and well-seasoned. The tibsi was served together with the veggie sampler (in the middle of the injera), and the whole thing was plenty of food for two. The bill came out to about $60 after tax and tip, which I think is moderately priced for Portland given the portion size, and we left happy! We'll certainly be back.

The restaurant is larger than it looks since there's a second seating area too. I'd recommend the Flight of mini lobster rolls (3x 2oz lobster rolls), which can be chilled or warmed. Prices are fair, at about $20 a lobster roll. Their ghee butter add another level to their lobster rolls and they don't skimp on meat!

We ended up taking out order to a park nearby that had benches so it worked out. Me and my friend shared a flight, where it included 3 lobster rolls with 2 oz. of lobster and we chose the jalapeño mayo, lime mayo, and lobster ghee ones. My favorite one was probably the jalapeño mayo because I loved the kick, but all three were delicious. I would definitely recommend getting the flight since the rolls are smaller and you get to try the different sauces.
