Matthew H.

So glad I stopped in this morning to Javi's! Excellent food... eggs, hash browns, bacon and pancake were all prepared perfectly. Compliments to the kitchen staff House made hot sauce was amazing as well. Service is friendly and fast. I'll definitely be back!

Chorizo scramble comes with an optional choice of pancake
Jorge R.

Welcomed immediately, the menu is full simple and satisfying. I love the staff they give big familia here to work vibes. Our waitress was energetic and honest.

Corned Beef hash with potatoes and over easy eggs.
Beth H.

Always Friendly attentive staff. The coffee was rich and strong. I had the corned beef hash. Tons of corned beef, it was delicious. My friend had the chilaquiles and were tasty.

Biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs
Laurel H.

Yelp continues to steer me to great places that I would necessarily notice otherwise. This old Tastee Freeze has been turned into a good little restaurant. Scrupulously clean. Friendly, knowledge service. Food is generous and nicely presented. The gravy on the biscuits and gravy was flavorful, a little in the sweet spectrum for my taste but perfectly acceptable. Real biscuits. Fluffy scrambled eggs. The almond French toast special was beautiful. The star of the show was the bacon. Thick, lovely flavor. I will come back for the bacon alone.

all of it
Zac S.

Main course was amazing, the single side pancake had my mouth singing and at about 20$ for a meal this was a pretty solid breakfast for the price and it made me really happy. I think for a breakfast spot this is a great choice and the service was pretty standard (these people know how go work) the inside wasn't remarkable which I think is kind of a good sign because it doesnt feel overly gentrified? which I always appreciate. Go in and check it out if you're looking for a good way to start the day

Chicken fried steak side
Kate O.

What a treat! I think the word is out on this place, as it was packed this morning, but didn't have to wait more than a couple of minutes. The parking lot gets full and the spaces are angled for most of it, so I'd recommend entering from the side, not Sandy. Inside is very cute and I like the "fancy" ketchup on the tables. A very little thing, but I like that they bring actual cold water, so many places bring you a jug of room temp that's been just hanging out. The food is excellent, everything has something special and unexpected. We got the Denver omelette ($19.50), that came with hash and a pancake. Very solid. The clam chowder ($7), also good, but could use some salt. Herbaceous and thick, lots of clams and tender potatoes. The chicken fried steak side ($13), that one could use some work, more seasoning and gravy was a bit bland, but nothing some hot sauce can't help with. The other items being passed around looked incredible! And those drinks looked crazy good, next time. A not typical breakfast/lunch spot with high quality food and drinks with no line in Portland. That's probably all that needed to be said, :)

Bloody Mary
Pete S.

We found Javi's after catching an early flight to Portland. It's a small, family-owned, café located a short distance from PDX. It's not a large place but they have plenty of tables. Service was fast and friendly! Check em out! A few things to try: Mexican Omelette - Chorizo, onion, red bell pepper, jack cheese, chipotle crema and guacamole. Bloody Mary - Rose city Vodka with 2 hearty pieces of bacon.

Tres Leches French Toast
Lenea E.

So good! Parking is easy and accessible and the food was great! We got the Seattle Scramble and Tres Leches French Toast and both were 10/10. The staff were great; friendly and helpful. Such a cozy, small town, hole in the wall vibe.

Chilaquiles Verdes
Aaron M.

I have thoroughly enjoyed all of the dishes I've ordered from Javi's. Today was no different. The Chilaquiles Verdes with Ribeye steak, was fabulous. The verde sauce had just the right amount of tang and bold flavors. The steak was prepared exactly to order. Topped with the house salsa, the chilaquiles ruled. The servers were all so friendly and attentive. Such a nice vibe in there as well. Love this neighborhood restaurant. Great job Javi's.

My dining companion and I had intended to go to Clyde's, a little further west down Sandy, but it didn't open until 1130 so we headed back to Javi's to give it a try. Hobbies is a fairly small little place, but it was bustling at 11 AM on a Thursday when we arrived. Just a few tables available and the sweet hostess made sure to get us one a little further away from the door since it was very cold out that day. The menu offered breakfast and lunch items, with specials written on their chalkboard. My companion opted for the chicken fajita sandwich special while I went for the number two breakfast on the seniors menu, two eggs, two bacon (or sausage) and a pancake - a perfect sized meal for my lighter appetite. The chicken fajita sandwich was huge and came with an abundance of tasty french fries. The chicken breast in the sandwich was well-prepared and it featured grilled onions and red bell peppers and lots of cheese (Jack?) on a toasted roll. The senior breakfast was delightful. The bacon strips were very tasty, and thick bacon. The pancake, while on the smaller side, was very good, and the eggs were scrambled perfectly. Overall, very delightful. The coffee was quite good as well. The service was perfect. There was always someone very nearby who could help us with whatever we needed. Great little place that seems to be a neighborhood favorite.

Arnab D.

One of my favorite breakfast places now that has a diner vibe and classic breakfast/brunch options. I had the breakfast burrito and I loved it. Price wise it is a bit high but the taste, service was really good. Mexican hot chocolate was good too. They have a private parking space. I'll need back to try other menu items.

Mexican omelet and sweet potatoes
Linda H.

Soooo good! We have eaten here multiple times and it's always a treat. Their gravy is excellent so biscuit or chicken fried steak really hits the spot. All fresh and wonderful

One fine cuppa
Aubrie R.

Oh man I can't wait to come back here!!!! The staff is so welcoming and friendly, the food is freshly prepared and plated *just right*! The vibe is super chill and causal. GREAT parking lot to make it even more appetizing to come here! Try the churro waffles - they do not disappoint!

The restaurant immediately caught my attention with its truly impressive seasonal holiday decor, creating a chic yet festive ambiance that drew me right inside. The interior is spotlessly clean and pristine, blending modern polish with a captivating festive energy. Despite the holiday crowd, the hospitality was top-tier from start to finish. The staff managed the afternoon rush with remarkable grace, remaining attentive, warm, and delightfully accommodating throughout our visit. To celebrate the occasion, I ordered a classic Bloody Mary, which arrived exquisitely garnished, perfectly spiced, and wonderfully refreshing a delightful highlight to a Saturday afternoon. For my lunch selection, I paired my beverage with an order of their deviled eggs. When presented, the dish was an absolute culinary triumph exceptionally smooth, beautifully seasoned, and executed with high-status quality and finesse. Between the immaculate cleanliness, striking decor, sublime offerings, and stellar service, Screen Door earns full marks from me. A thoroughly memorable Halloween outing I shall most certainly be returning

We are typically brunch people, making it here most often on a Saturday or Sunday for a late brunch. Their benedicts are to die for... truly, they're all wonderful. Their Laser Potato is out of this world. Truly, my favorite item on their menu. It is fabulous in all ways. I often take a side of it home just to enjoy later. We recently tried them for dinner. Their muscles are OUT OF THIS WORLD. Truly, the best I've ever had. This beats living in the southeast on the coast, any west-coast seafood restaurant, and every place I've ever enjoyed in Italy. They've certainly topped the muscle game. Highly recommend Olympic Provisions. I will gladly vouch that the negative reviews are from the haters, just to hate. The overall experience has never been anything less than fantastic. Photos to follow (hopefully, if I can find them! HA!) Enjoy OP next time you're in PDX!

I did a walk in around 6pm on a weekday and there were plenty of seats at the counter where you can watch them cook. The foie gras is delicious but not a must do for the pancakes.

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.

Two of us got the Portuguese Fried Rice and it was really good. I wish I had done two eggs over easy because I really love a saucey meal and it was a little dry. If you're a hot sauce person get some and add that! The side of cheesy hashbrowns were delicious and perfect for a cool day - cozy and warm. Our friend got the chicken biscuits and gravy and ate every single bite. He said the chicken was moist and well seasoned. Finally, the lemon blueberry French toast was delicious. It was the perfect tangy and sweet balance. I would definitely order that as a whole meal if I wanted a sweeter breakfast option. If you're on the fence, give Cheryl's a try. It was amazing!

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.
