The chicken (was tender) biscuits and gravy were so good. Biscuits were fluffy, the sausage gravy had a taste I couldn't put my finger on be was so tasty. The potatoes were crispy on the outside and, soft in the middle with a smoky flavored seasoning that made me want even more. Service~Our server and customer service was top notch. We chose to sit on the patio and, he was managing 6 times at once. He greeted the both of us promptly with water. Took our orders and, while we wait he continued to check on us while refilling his our drinks. Ambiance~Very clean restaurant and restroom. It was a very calm and relaxing atmosphere. Only street parking and, it's in a residential neighborhood. We chatted another 30 minutes after our meal and, didn't feel rushed to leave. I would highly recommend this restaurant it's a family owned and, they are from Louisiana.

It's a good French toast but doesn't have that much banana flavor outside of the caramelized bananas. It was good with the sauce and whipped cream though!

We went closer to closing time on a weekday and there wasn't a wait. The biscuits and gravy were good but I like pine state's better. Pine state is more fluffy. The gravy is about the same. The country fried steak was just ok. A little dry but ok with the gravy. The hash browns were super crispy which was great at first. But it was also super oily, so after a few bites, none of us wanted to eat it anymore. The server was very attentive and the decor is very homey. Parking in this area is a nightmare.

Took a short walk here from the Royal Sonesta hotel to have dinner after a long adventurous day out…read moreand about in Portland. We decided on outdoor patio seating since the weather was nice & it was generally quieter outside. We were people watching for a bit and noticed that our fellow restaurant goers were waiting for quite a bit, but we weren't in a hurry, so it was fine. When our waiter eventually tended to us, he was incredibly friendly & apologetic, owning up to the delay being on him, but we were cool with it -poor guy was working a double shift. We started off with deep-fried okra, I ordered the fried chicken meal, & hubby ordered the burger. I got to pick the chicken pieces I wanted, so I went with 2 thighs, thinking they'd be smaller pieces, so I could maybe finish my meal. I opted for collard greens as well. The food came relatively quickly and was super-fresh. The fried okra bits were piping hot down to the last bite. They went well with the spicy aioli. We hung onto the aioli so hubby could dip his fries. My meal was so good. The chicken was incredibly tender and flavorful. The batter was just perfect and crisp. Mashed potatoes were smooth and creamy. Gravy was rich and well-seasoned. Collard greens were so tasty. The balance of textures was just perfection. I ended up having to pack up a piece of chicken because it was so much food, but I enjoyed every bite I was able to take of my meal. I appreciated their welcoming vibe & the beautiful pride balloon arch inside the restaurant. I appreciated the friendly service. I appreciated the thoughtfully and expertly made food. It was a perfect way to end my culinary experience for this Portland visit.

The fried okra is awesome! The flavor & seasoning is there, even without the sauce. I am def a "sauce with absolutely everything" person, and it is so flavorful, I could have done without. This was my first time having catfish. I also am not a fan of grits, but knew that it would be to good to pass up and not give it a try. Everything on the catfish platter was splendid. I adored the biscuit and raspberry jam, might've been the best I have had! The raspberry jam was so good I asked for extra (because seriously, what was I going to do with that little bit provided lol) they end up bringing two more hehe. The biscuit was super soft, buttery and light (also coming from someone that couldn't care less about a biscuit). I also appreciate a biscuit that is NOT flaky! Hold your hate comments lmao! I had this amazing food before going to a wine tasting and let me just say this was the perfect choice before an event as such afterwards. Honorable mention, the chicken and waffles waffle is made with sweet potato. YEAH? It is as good as it sounds!! I think the videos on TikTok on this place, did not do it justice at all. Give it a try!

This was our last-minute choice for dinner on Valentine's Day, and since we didn't have…read morereservations ,We were quoted a 20-minute wait, which ended up being a little longer, but we were eventually seated and attended to. The place is decorated eclectically, with a mix of seating styles--from couches and bar seating to smaller and larger tables. The vibe feels like a blend of old-school charm and something more modern. I started with a cocktail from the menu, while my husband ordered a drink based on the server's recommendation. Unfortunately, the drink didn't taste good, and the staff did replace it for him. Since we had already spent quite some time waiting, we decided to skip appetizers and go straight to the mains. I ordered the prawn Alfredo along with a fennel citrus salad, and my husband had the Pasta El Burrina. The food tasted fantastic. The service was a bit spotty, which I'm willing to attribute to it being an unusually busy night. A few times it felt like our orders were forgotten, and we had to remind them multiple times for the bill. The place is alright,but I am not in a rush to come back anytime soon.

I live close by so this place is very dangerous for me. I'm already planning my next trip. Lol! The service is also great! I can't wait to try more items off the menu.

My gf had never been though we lived near for years. We got the onion rings to start and have never had rings like this. Their dipping sauce was super tasty. They were huge and almost a meal. The crunch on the was fantastic and the onions cut as you bit into them, not one pulled out. We split the chicken and waffles. Chicken just perfect and crunchy and the crunch is seasoned as well. One of those meals you shake ur head the whole time hoping the flavors won't stop. The portion was big and glad we split it. The waffle was crunchy and big. The cup of stew was very tasty as well.

But when our server was with us, they were very nice and patient with my questions and requests. It's a bit loud when the place is on the full side, making it difficult to have a conversation. I wouldn't bring my girlfriend who is hard of hearing, at least with a group. I'd be curious to try more of the menu. I was very much not wowed by the breakfast. The beverages were however very nice, and I recently had the cobbler dessert and it looked amazing and tasted better. We had the coffee (Extracto, love.), I had a really good hef and my mother a very well balanced Bellini that I was very pleasantly surprised with trying. From what I saw, the lunch sounds very good and I'd be more apt to recommend folks give that a shot if they happened to be going there too. I'm not sure if I'd recommend as a must go stop. Vibe wise, the ambience is overall really nice. I think having rolled flatware, even with just upgraded napkins, would better complete the aesthetic you initially see and feel. This would also connect with the price point of the food and quality of the beverages. As a fellow server, on that note I would expect more consistent stronger visual appearance standards with servers. (Sorry guys! But some of you looked great!) Overall, I'd definitely join a friend for coffee and lunch over there in the future. Just wouldn't be my top pick for a celebratory brunch or intimate dinner with a date or friends and fam.
