This place is fabulous! The wait was long but necessary due to the demand, the food was quick and tasty and the vibes were energetic and positive. I went with friends and it was the perfect place to catch up on a Sunday afternoon. read more

Off The Griddle - Amazingness all in one photo - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Off the Griddle popped up on our search for vegan brunch and was recommended to us by a friend that lives in Portland. We liked it so much the first time that we came back a second time! We were promptly greeted and seated, our servers were friendly and attentive, and the space was comfortable and cozy. One thing we did note both visits was there were a lot of little flies that we had to swat away from our meal. Not a fan of that, but hopefully they can take care of that by the time we make it back to Portland. ;) Their menu is extensive, offering many gluten free options. They also offer eggs if you prefer that over tofu. We only got to try their breakfast items, but I'd love to come back for lunch! First visit: Breakfast burito: 10/10. From flavor of the herb tofu to the portion (perfect to share between the two of us), everything about this burrito was perfect and all we could have wanted. Basic B waffle: 7/10. I can appreciate that the waffles are all GF. The blue cornmeal made as a good base, but I felt a little underwhelmed, but can't quite put a finger on what could have made it better. Second visit: Biscuits & gravy: 8/10. with GF bisuit and tofu scramble. A winning combo! The biscuit was on the dryer side, but the gravy did its job. The scramble tasted a little off, so a bit bummed about the inconsistency. Blue plate: 9/10. The non GF biscuit was much better. My wife ate this one and she was very happy with her meal. All in all, super happy with our meals here. Would 1000% recommend and plan to return again! read more

I have a vegan friend that I enjoy going out to lunch with. She lives in N. Portland and wanted to go somewhere close that she hadn't been to before. Off The Griddle fit the bill! I had been to their other location quite some time ago. I hadn't been to the one on Alberta. I was worried about parking, but found a spot nearby. We were greeted warmly upon entering. Everything on the menu looked delicious! I settled for the Meatloaf Benedict without the biscuit. My friend ordered the Goddess Bowl. I loved the Meatloaf Benedict, it's what I consider comfort food! I had a taste of my friend's Goddess Bowl and it was good too! I would love to return again soon! read more

We love this place! It's our go to brunch spot. Amazing vegan and vegetarian food. Something on the menu for everyone from sweet to savory.

The last few times I've gone to off the griddle have been very pleasant! The food here is typically fresh and very flavorful, and I love that their menu has a wide array of options to choose from. The ambience reminds you of an old-school diner and I like that they have a bunch of hot brunch food, of course! And they also have an amazing honey mustard salad that's one of the best I've ever had, it's so refreshing and it's definitely a go to. I really appreciate how they easily incorporate non-vegan options as well so that everyone can get something of what they like. I also really enjoy their gluten-free biscuits with gravy, Yum! read more

Went here for lunch and our server, Max, was so attentive and patient with my friend who is mentally challenged. Also the buffalo drummies ROCK. Good vibes all around read more

*Non-vegan review* I wasn't really planning on trying this place as it's a brunch place which is already my least favorite "cuisine" and am not vegan but kind of got dragged here but was pleasantly surprised w/ the experience. They've got a lot of vegan versions of classic brunch fare mostly using tempeh, jackfruit & seitan for meat subs & also tofu scrambles but u can request real eggs instead. Not sure what they use for the fake sausage patties but am curious. By server suggestion I opted for Brunchwrap Supreme (Crunchwrap) instead of the Nashville Hot "Chik'n" as he said they used jackfruit which didn't sound like a good texture to me. The "chorizo" was pretty good tho. And I like their fries too, thin like McDonald's (which is a high compliment). We also tried the Feast Waffle which was a blue cornmeal waffle stuffed with/ hashbrowns & topped with/ tofu scramble & gravy. Very hearty & filling. Pretty good vegan food & they also have some interesting coffee cocktails. read more

My visiting parents (omnivores) & I (vegan) decided to try the new Alberta location of Off The Griddle today & were treated to flavorful, well-portioned food given the prices with a variety of homemade sauces. I thoroughly enjoyed the Blue Plate. The biscuit & gravy was very tasty without being overly salty or heavy. The tofu scramble component was one of my favorite tofu scrambles I've had from a restaurant. My father enjoyed his vegan Reuben & side salad with homemade ranch dressing. My mother enjoyed her BLT as well, particularly noting the flavor of the tempeh & the homemade "honey" mustard as her favorite components. I'm very happy to have an all-vegetarian, mostly vegan (dairy cheese & eggs are the only non-vegan items) breakfast/brunch/lunch option a quick bus trip away as finding places with multiple vegan options for breakfast/brunch specifically is a little harder to find in Portland than our extensive lunch/dinner options. I look forward to more visits &/or deliveries via DoorDash from Off The Griddle! read more

Service was fast, got seated right away. Coffee drinks we ordered were great, food was also very good. Got the blue plate breakfast and the soyrizo breakfast burrito. It's nice they have vegan plates you can add real eggs and cheese to if you'd prefer but the tofu scramble was delicious! read more

We were looking for a Sunday brunch spot, stumbled upon Off The Griddle and they were able to accommodate our 6 person party so quickly! There was a miscommunication and my order took a bit longer to come out and they comped it for the trouble. Our server, Integrity, was outstanding! So kind, so attentive, very personable! Definitely will be hitting them up again next time I'm in Portland :) read more

We stopped in here when we were visiting Portland and I am so happy we did! We split a Brisket Hash, which was absolutely mouth watering! The way the jackfruit is cooked and flavored was my favorite, but the diced potatoes and tofu scramble really made this dish explode with flavor. The food was great, but the people working were just as wonderful. They gave us a lot of options of things to explore and were so kind. When I go back to Portland, I'm definitely coming here again! read more

I was recommended this place by a local and thank goodness! It was so hard to choose what to get even after drooling over social media posts the day before. Luckily my bestie and dining companion was willing to share! We got the blueberry waffles and the biscuits n gravy with hash and tofu eggs. We enjoyed sitting outside with the nice weather. The staff were pretty great. I'd easily go here again with my family. read more

Server was fantastically friendly to me and my friend, both older women. She was respectful, engaging, charming. Food was great also. The latte was delicious. read more

We have been eating at this chain for a lot of years, back when it was A.N.D. & usually we go to the one on Foster, and now after coming to this one for the first time we will just go to the one on Foster. Service was fine, but someone in the kitchen should watch out how old or crusty the usually delicious biscuits are before serving them. And I have to wonder, DID you NUKE my food and not reheat it in a pan with some vegan butter!!!!!! We also tried the mac and cheese, hardly any sauce, then the $3 charge for a side, plus another charge for some sauce they didn't have... disappointing. over $40 for lunch is crazy, at least we have left overs to add more sauce to. I reheated everything the next day, buttering the biscuit and reheating it on the stove and it was so good. I added more vegan cheese and some nice milk to the mac and cheese and it was delicious. We are not paying for you to microwave out food!!!! reheat it in a pan. I'll only go to the Foster one from now on. which is a shame as this one is so much closer and has so many fun places to go nearby. read more

A friend and I had lunch at Off the Griddle yesterday, Sunday. I know the place tends to be busy on the weekend and the acoustics could be better but that's beside my point. The food is really good but when the service is bad, all the good points take a back seat. We sat down at the far end and waited and waited and finally the bartender came over and took our order. The food was good and after the conversations took a lull and our plates were empty, we wanted to get to Vancouver for the symphony. We finally felt the need to get up and pay at the front counter where the waiter had been standing, not looking to see if customers needed help. We paid, my friend left no tip and I thought about it but I did leave one as I live in the neighborhood. I'm not sure I'll go back as there are many other vegan restaurants close by and beyond. read more
