We passed here all the time, but have not stopped here to eat, even when it was a Vietnamese Restaurant. Maybe, back when the children were younger, we would stop here a few times, when it was A & W. With that said, today was the first time we actually stopped for brunch! We thought, it was new, since it was packed, and it's a sight you'd see, when someone is having a Grand Opening. It's not often, you see restaurants in my neighborhood, packed during lunch hour specially on a Sunday. I was told, by our waiter, they've been opened for 3 years, and they're consistent with customers. (That is a good thing, right?) I didn't have BLT with today's soup, Chicken Noodle Soup, when hubby did, so I ordered that. Hubby ordered the Denver Omelette. Served with Hash Browns, one pancake (we shared) and a slice of bacon. See photo of my BLT. It's so thick, 1/4th of the sandwich was wide enough for my mouth to take a bite. I was so pleased with this restaurant, the service, handling of a large crowd, with very little wait, 40 mins. wait for your food, it's not that bad, they made up for good quantity and quality of food! Planning to bring my luncheon group here, in 2027. Thank you! read more

As much as I hated to see Pho An close, Javi's is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. Happy to see the old A&W building on NE Sandy continue to serve some find food. Our favorites at Javi's include the breakfast burrito and the chilaquiles, also like the chorizo scramble and the biscuits & gravy. Reasonably generous portions. Lots of other options on the menu. Excellent service. The place can get busy so plan accordingly. read more

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. read more

Javi's Breakfast & Lunch - Biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I don't know what they put in their country gravy, but it is so creamy and delicious I could have ate it like soup!! So drool worthy. Biscuits and gravy came with 2 huge biscuit and smothered in gravy. The breakfast burrito is HUGE and tasty. We will be back to try the corned beef. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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, :) read more

One word: SOLID. Surprisingly, it's been hard to find a solid breakfast spot while in Portland -- but this place did the job and did it well. Service was quick, efficient, and friendly. The ambience is clean and simple, good music playing, and they even have outdoor seating -- definitely a vibe. To top it off, there's parking! Simple menu, fair prices. My wife got the chilaquiles with verde sauce and chicken tinga -- 5/5. Flavorful with a nice kick of spice, fresh chips, and perfectly cooked over-easy eggs. I went with the "meat lovers" omelette. At first glance it didn't look impressive, but the flavor proved otherwise -- perfectly portioned, nicely cooked veggies, and the hash browns were crisp and golden just right. If you're looking for a solid breakfast spot -- you've found it. I'm choosing Javi's over Kingsland any day I'm in Portland. If you want clean, simple, and flavorful food, Javi's is the move. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

We showed up at ten to noon on a Sunday and I was shocked there was no wait. But it's probably because the service was so fast and efficient that they are able to turn over tables and serve more people. Daisy was our waiter and she came over pretty fast, she got the order right and all my modifications were executed perfectly, including my side of sour cream (which most places forget) my bf got a club sandwich and it looked amazing, and he said it was really good, I tried the fries and they were 10/10. I got the chilaquiles and I was a little disappointed they didn't have a huevos rancheros on the menu but my meal was good. They do have their own house hot sauce which was good, but if you like cholula, they also have that. I didn't get an orange juice but I saw another table did and it was a full glass, not one of those tiny little glasses. We got our food super fast as well! Also the bathroom was small but clean and had all the necessities: tp, soap, seat covers and paper towels. I got a pineapple mimosa and it was the perfect ratio of champagne and pineapple. They also had a great selection of spirits. Overall, if I lived closer I would come often! read more

The raspberry pancakes were sweet, and fluffy. 3 pancakes for the price is good! The bacon was amazing, thick and flavorful. The blueberry French toast was soooo good!! The red potatoes had onions and seasonings so they were flavorful too! The only reason it's not a 5/5 is because the service was a bit unorganized. read more

Javi's Breakfast & Lunch - Churro waffles, veggie scramble with tequila poached mushrooms - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Came here with a healthy hankering for pancakes but the description of the Churro Waffle meal ($19) on the menu called to me so I abandoned my pancake dreams right away. We ordered the Churro waffle with scrambled eggs and sausage, the chorizo scramble and two coffees. About the food: I really REALLY enjoyed their chorizo scramble and the potatos that come with it. The potato's aren't overly seasoned and pair well with the chorizo scramble. I did not like how sweet the Churro Waffle was BUT that's probably on me and not the restaurant as churros are super sweet. This item is more churro than waffle, it's definitely a waffle shaped churro with a lot of cinnamon sugar not a churro flavored waffle ( as I assumed) so if that's not your jam try something else for sure. Personally, I'd put it in more of a dessert than breakfast category. I couldn't eat much of it due to all the sugar and the coating and the drizzle and the powdered sugar. That said, the sausage (x2) was large and the eggs were great! The Atmosphere:. What a wonderful thing to get seated right away for breakfast on Saturday morning in Portland. We tried two other places before here and weren't willing to wait 30-45 minutes. At Javi's we were seated right away and service was fast. They were busy but handled the brunch rush well. TLDR - Accessible parking, good service, good food.Yummy chorizo! And read more

staff is amazing. great food. reasonable prices! what ele can you ask for in a restaurant?

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. JAVIS isn't just a restaurant--it's a revelation. My team stumbled across this hidden gem about a year ago. It's tucked just 6-8 minutes from the Portland airport (PDX), which makes it the perfect spot to hit before or after a flight... but honestly? This place is worth flying into Portland just to eat here. I came back today and tried their house breakfast special. I didn't even know I liked eggs and chorizo like that--and don't even ask me what that brown sauce was, because I have no clue... but I want it bottled and shipped to my house. Paired with their crispy, golden potatoes? It was hands-down one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. Period. But here's the kicker--this wasn't a one-hit wonder. Every time I've eaten here, the food is consistently phenomenal. The service is lightning-fast and sincerely kind. This time, I told the waitress to please let the cook know the food was unbelievable, and she smiled and said, "We try to make you feel like you've just been home." That stopped me. Because that's exactly what it felt like. Warm people. Comfort food with soul. Service that hits your heart. JAVI Javi isn't just good--it's elite. It's that rare spot where the vibe, the flavor, and the experience all line up. Portland locals, you better treasure this place. Travelers, do not miss it. It's not just a meal--it's a moment. #HiddenGem #PortlandEats #PDXFoodie #BreakfastGoals #JAVIs #SupportLocal #AirportEatsDoneRight #ChorizoDreams #EatLikeYoureHome read more

Javi's Breakfast & Lunch - Breakfast special - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Portland, Oregon

My family was visiting Portland and we were so excited to try this spot--we're total suckers for good Mexican food! We ordered a variety of chilaquiles, and they were all delicious. The only small downside was that a couple of the plates could've used more sauce, but the staff was super kind and quickly brought out extra for us. Problem solved! The omelet was massive and absolutely packed with chorizo--so flavorful and satisfying. Everything was clearly made to order and from scratch, and you can really taste the love they put into their food. If you're in the area, definitely make the drive. It's worth it! read more

Went to Javi's again. It's quickly become one of my favorite breakfast spots. The restaurant is kept clean and tidy. The service is impeccable and I always feel at home while I'm there. I ordered an omelet and the Dulce de Leche French toast. Both items came out hot and tasted delicious. Their menu had working apologizing for the minimal price increases due to the price of eggs. My cup of coffee was kept full, service was good, and the food, delicious! read more

Second visit today, and for so few breakfast spots in the neighborhood, I can see why they are always so busy. We were seated almost right away, and they still had some outside tables available. Lots of variety on the menu with several specials. Coffee was brought out quickly and our order was taken fast as well. It's a little loud in there, despite the noise dampening tiles, but not so loud that it is disturbing. It is a bit expensive, two entrees and two coffees were $45, but food costs have been going up and the portions were appropriate. I got the Huevos Rancheros special. It was good enough that I would go back just for that. The food came out quickly and staff were kind and not overbearing. My friend loved her Mt. Hood scramble. I think next time I'll get the hash browns, my friend loved them. Also, ask for their house made hot sauce, it's really good. I'll be back for sure. read more

Ordered a breakfast burrito here (eggs, chorizo, potato, bacon) and it absolutely hit the spot. The burrito is huge (two of us shared it), so even though it was $16, it was well worth it. The salsa, though not spicy, has great flavor and makes the burrito taste even better. read more

Javi's Breakfast & Lunch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I recently visited this restaurant and had a mixed experience. I ordered the chilaquiles verde with chorizo, and they were quite good -- crispy and flavorful, with a satisfying balance of texture and spice. It was definitely the highlight of the meal. However, my wife ordered the country eggs Benedict, and unfortunately, it missed the mark. The eggs were overcooked; instead of being poached, they were closer to hard-boiled, which really took away from the dish. Additionally, the accompanying potatoes lacked seasoning, making them rather bland. Overall, while my dish was average, the inconsistency in preparation and seasoning made for a somewhat disappointing experience. With some attention to detail, particularly with the eggs and sides, this place could be much better. The customer service was good ! We both sat outside and the breeze mixed with Portland heat was perfect! We still tipped. -Coming from another Service industry of 12 years read more

Always on the lookout for a cute old school diner with friendly service in great food. This place checks all the boxes.

Such a great brunch joint, I'm so happy to have them in our neighborhood! We've been here several times now, in parties of 2-4, and always had great food and service. Standouts: the loaded hashbrowns (bacon, cheese, scallions, sour cream) and the churro waffles. I could order these every time and not be bored. The Tequila Veggie scramble is also really good. I wish they offered half-orders of the sweet stuff (pancakes, waffles, French toast) because i always order too much food. Those churro waffles are impossible to skip! Perfect diner coffee, great food, great service, cute place. Nothing more to want from a good diner! read more

The service was decent and my tuna sandwich was delicious. And then something didn't feel right. I thought it was just normal food poisoning. It wasn't. Over the course of 8 days, I suffered the worst stomach virus I have ever experienced. After going over my day, I know Javi's was ground zero for this illness. I was dizzy, lightheaded, on the cusp of fainting after a few steps, and nauseous. It was too painful to even turn my body. After 3 full days my fever broke, and the diarrhea finally began. I didn't want to post this because I had figured it was just an anomaly. Someone forgot to refrigerate the tuna or something, it was just a horrible mistake. But then I spoke with friends about my experience and learned I am not the first person to get sick from this restaurant. I doubt I'll be the last. read more
