First off, I'm a pretty picky eater. ESPECIALLY when it comes to a quality omelette. Family Cafe…read moretotally blew me away with their omelette (no mushrooms or meat, add potatoes)!! The egg was cooked perfectly and each ingredient complimented the next in a great texture with the egg cooked perfectly. We ate outside with a high chair and it was great. I got the tea while my husband got coffee and we both loved it. The cups are super nice and they're awesome about keeping the tea refilled. With our drinks, we also shared the halawa and it was fantastic. The small sized halawa was perfect for 2 people. The tea and coffee came with sugar as well which was nice, just a great experience. The cost of the meal was also fantastic for what you get. It was totally worth every penny. I recommend you check this spot out, even if you're picky like me!

The most lovely…read morecouple run this restaurant and everything from the inside decor, friendly service, to the amazing food screams warmth, love, and dedication. We came on a Thursday morning right at opening (9am) and were able to snag a table inside for our group. The space is small inside but they do have a few outside tables too which is nice to enjoy in the summer time. Parking is standard street parking right on Broadway. We started out with Turkish coffees and Iraqi Tea. The presentation was beautiful and the complex flavors were so nice to wake our taste buds. We ordered the Beef Mix, Lamb and Eggs, Pastry #2 (hot dog, mushroom, cheese), baclava, and their special halawa to try. They were cooking right by the counter so the whole space filled with delicious aromas while we were waiting for our food. We all had full bellies between 3 adults and 2 kids and took home leftovers! You MUST get the Beef Mix! I don't even know how to describe how delicious this dish is to give it justice but it was definitely the group favorite. It came with salad and yummy boat shaped bread to scoop up all the flavorful goodness. Their house hot sauce took it to the next level. The baklava was the perfect amount of sweetness with the coffee and tea. It was our first time trying a halawa and we all loved the dense texture with a sweet taste. Please do your taste buds a favor and come support this local business!!

I had to go back for a second time before heading home (I don't live in the area.) I was visiting Beaverton again and of course my first stop was Tom's Pancake House, for the Dutch Baby German Pancake! Tom's is a popular place, and we had to wait but it's worth it.

The pancakes were hard and thick enough to use as a hockey puck! Not at all light or fluffy. Hard to eat. Perhaps there is a new chef who either has not been properly trained or is just incompetent.

It was a warm day and the staff immediately brought her out a bowl of water, which was a thoughtful gesture and shows the level of service they offer to their patrons. Our server, I believe her name was Casey, was lovely. She was friendly and seemed to know a lot of the regulars by name which gave the restaurant a welcoming feel. I ordered the Danish pancakes (Æbleskiver), and they were absolutely delicious. They came with house-made lemon curd and lingonberry jam, and both were incredible. The lemon curd was rich and creamy with just the right amount of tartness, while the lingonberry jam added a sweet-tart flavor that paired perfectly with the fluffy pancakes. Four of them were more than enough to fill me up. My husband ordered the Pytt i Panna, a traditional Swedish hash made with crispy potatoes, bell peppers, and onions, topped with two soft-baked eggs and served with pickled beets and Nordic rye toast. It was hearty, comforting, and full of flavor. The pickled beets were a nice contrast to the savory hash, and everything on the plate was scrumptious! Between the delicious food, welcoming service, and dog-friendly patio, we had a very nice time and it was a good send-off before our walk through the woods to find Ole Bolle. I'd happily come back the next time I'm in the area.

A fantastic place to start the day. We came early for the Old Bolle Troll (can visit anytime during…read moredaylight hours) and then came back Broder Soder for brunch at 8AM (Saturday) - no wait upon opening despite having a group of 6. We started with the cardamom latte (rich and nutty) and the matcha marzipan (sweet and with enough aromatic almond flavor) and then proceeded to feast. We started with the Danish pancake donuts- lovely in that they were both savory and sweet, comes with lemon curd and jam. The lefse breakfast was really interesting - a layered thicker 'crepe' with cheese and egg. The fish plate was our family favorite - an epic collection of shrimp, mini shrimps, gravlax, pickled herring (our favorite) various breads, crackers and sauces. Very well presented, fun to eat, and enough to share. We also ordered the Swedish meatballs - rich hearty but small and few (5 total). Luckily, we had plenty of other food and this dish was great with sherry mushroom sauce and a delicious potato latke-like side. Our server was also incredibly personable, friendly, and helpful in our food choices which we always appreciate.

This location is a bit tricky to find, and I was slightly nervous to see if this Elmer's measured up against others...it does. The server, Alana, was beyond friendly and engaging. I heard her have conversations at other tables, and she was so genuinely nice. The General Manager, Jose, greeted me at the front with a warm welcome. Jose sat me at a very nice booth. When I left, a young gentleman was the front, and he said thanks, and please come back. Again, so genuine. My Denver Omelet, minus the green peppers, was excellent. Besides the appearance, it also tasted great. The hash browns and biscuits were also perfect. The NW Lodge Blend Coffee was also quite satisfying, even though it is $4.29 a cup. Thank you Elmer's again. I will have no qualms visiting this location again.

Bluemoon Diner has a really cute retro exterior and it caught my eye every time I drove past it…read more Finally I decided it's time to pay a visit, so I gathered a few friends for some much needed girl time. We stopped in on a Friday morning and it was quiet, with only a few regulars eating food and reading a newspaper. The interior was equally as cute as the exterior. The shop was full of 1950s era decorations, from the retro lighting to old newspaper clippings. The bar area kinda reminded me the diner the Men in Black 3, where K ordered a piece of apple pie with a slice of cheese. The dining area was clean and bright, and the menu had tons of classic American selections. I ordered the chicken fried steak which was the recommendation, and I liked it. My friends ordered pancakes and enjoyed them as well. Our server was attentive but quiet. I wouldn't say she was the friendliest but she certainly was attentive. Overall, I liked the Bluemoon Diner and I am glad I finally checked it out. Now I know a good spot to go when I want some classic American diner food.

Food wasn't bad so I'll definitely be back! There were a few micro charges that we didn't even think about when ordering (whipped cream on milkshake, 0.50 or some odd cents for tartar sauce) but otherwise it was a very pleasant experience. As someone who usually hates sauerkraut the Reuben was actually enjoyable which was a surprise to me. The place really captures the diner feel inside and out, I'm excited to try different menu options in the future.

To be honest, when our plans to go bowling and have lunch at Big Al's today fell through because…read morethey didn't open till 3, but we still wanted to eat (and hadn't had breakfast yet at 1:30), I tried every option I could think of to not go to Bannings. When we moved to Oregon, it was under construction but we kept hearing how good it was - in fact, all the local FB pages would gush about it when a newcomer would ask about the best restaurant. And once it finally opened, we tried it, but it was kind of like Marie calendars and Shari's, but local. Ok, but not what we had expected for all the hype. So, after trying a handful of options it seemed Bannings was the only place we could still get breakfast so I begrudgingly agreed. Well, I was mistaken! I got the breakfast enchiladas and a strawberry orange mimosa. Now, the mimosa - I'll get that out of the way first. It was weird - it looked curdled. It just had mashed strawberry at the bottom and it actually was quite good. I'd do a normal mimosa in the future, but good. But the enchiladas - delicious. Like, I'll come back again and again for those. And they didn't charge me extra for the avocado, which I think is righteous because I asked for no hash browns. But not all places would do that, they'd nickel and dime even if you passed on one side for another. Additionally; my husband likes a savory breakfast and a sweet one too - so he often gets two breakfasts and though he may not eat all of both he gets that savory and sweet. Well, the omelettes come with 3 pancakes. Perfection. And, I took 3 bites of them - I usually might try 1 or not at all - they are very very good. Last - it did not break the bank. I've about ruled out breakfast out because of how crazy expensive the places that should be reasonable are. This was reasonable - PLEASE DONT CHANGE!! All in all 5 stars, will be back for breakfast; and hey - when I'm wrong I can admit I was wrong! Give them a try if you haven't!

I had t the Turkey, Bacon, and Swiss Croissant. Not sure if the sandwich was heated, or if it was under the heat lamp too long. as it was slightly warm. She also had a can of Vortex and it was cold and fresh. To me, the best part was the requested tartar sauce for the french fries. I tasted a hint of tarragon and it was so good. We did not have any pie as we were full. I just feel that 18.25 and 18.95 +2.00 for black bean is too expensive. $20.95 is just too high for a taco salad. Megan was also excellent as our server. She was very friendly and engaging. We will be back when in the area if we have the need.

It is amazing to see a place that started back in the 1950s where the waiting room is full with the historical photos and telling the story of the restaurant. The food and huge portion sizes clearly no change in over 50 years. Even though I am on keto diet, I opted for one cheap-day just to try their food. My favorite is the Dutch Baby. It was perfectly baked, fluffy, and slightly crisp on the edges. It is huge portion and served with whipped cream, lemon, and powdered sugar. The hash browns were another outstanding item, so far the best hash browns i ever had. It's perfectly crispy and homemade. We also tried the cheese omelette, which was rich with sharp aged cheddar. The fluffy buttermilk pancakes came as sides, it's a good match with the syrup and cream. We were far too full to try the famous apple pancake, but I will surely order it on my next visit.

This is not a diet restaurant, but it IS breakfast done very, very, very well.
