    Meat lovers Meat Lover's Skillet
    Maureen W.

    Food, service, and atmosphere were great! Had the French toast combo and the meat lovers skillet. The french toast was creamy and hot. The ML skillet was not greasy at all. The only complaint was they give margarine instead of real butter.

    Hidden gem to say the least! The service was phenomenal with very personable staff. The food is all house made and you can taste the difference. It isn't Sysco potatoes, they make their ingredients from fresh food. We got the original breakfast, a sandwich and a burrito. Everything was 10/10. We will be back, add this to your breakfast list!

    Biscuits and Gravy Meal
    jacob m.

    The place wasn't busy at all in a Sat afternoon. We sat down immediately, the hot chocolate was good and the cookie was a cute addition! The chicken wrap was good but there was a bit too much lettuce and the crispy tender wasn't that crispy maybe it softened a bit from the sauce. The biscuits and gravy were good and the sausage was soooo flavorful! The nice surprise was the fries, cooked perfectly!

    I couldn't finish the pancakes and hash brown because of the taste.

    My husband and I were visiting Portland and wanted to try something new. Found this place since it was close to our VRBO. Too bad the food wasn't good and the place was basically a one woman show! First of all, after we sat ourselves, it took a while to get service. But that's because the place was semi busy and only one server was doing everything! From making drinks to serving, to probably cooking the meal, she did it all. The tables needed to be bussed but it seemed like no one was bussing them, so there were more dirty tables than clean ones. It was very unpleasant. When we finally got our food, I was pretty disappointed in my breakfast. I had pancakes, sausage links and subbed out the eggs for hash brown. The pancakes were pretty inedible. They were rubbery and hard around the edges, and they had no flavor. The hash browns tasted like old oil. The sausage was the only good thing on my plate. Also they served the syrup in a big ramekin so it was hard to pour just a little syrup at a time. My husband got the French toast, bacon and eggs. He said the food was okay. But the French toast wasn't quite done right. His food seemed edible but didn't have much flavor. Although our server Chloe was busy, she really took care of us. She even brought my husband an extra ice tea without him having to ask. I felt bad that she was so busy and had no help. So we left her a really good tip. Unfortunately, we won't be coming here again.

    We wanted to try someplace new for breakfast and I'd read good things about this place before. Opted for a scramble and it was tasty. Lots of potatoes, but the English muffin wasn't really toasted and without proper containers for the jelly it just kind of spilled in the container. Now I don't have enough jelly for my bread and my savory food is now sweet. Not the end of the world, but they need lids for delivery. No meat in our dishes so we ordered sides. Bacon was thick and had a good flavor. Price was okay. Maybe dining in is better, but I'll probably never know.

    Looking to try breakfast spots in the area and found this. They open at 8am everyday which is awesome! Better yet, they have a shared parking lot! This place is right off of 205 and has great visibility from the street. A regular was waiting outside with us as we waited for it to open. We were quickly greeting and chose a spot for us to sit. Upon walking in, it looked really nice and upscale with the dark wood trim and dark table tops and seating. Tall ceilings also gave it an open feeling. I splurged and got the stuff french toast combo while my son got the kielbasa scramble. Both were really good. The stuffed french toast wasn't super sweet like you'd get at IHOP. If you're looking for that, you won't get it here. Service was pleasant. I'd say price was average for the area. Due to ease of access, plenty of parking and good food and service, I would dine here again.

    This is basically a potato soup that doused with too much salt and black pepper.

    It seems like a nice cafe but with a Chinese twist I'm guessing, I ordered a Meat Lover's Skillet thinking and expecting a Meat Lover's Skillet! The menu description says sausages and meat with vegetables sautéed on a skillet, so what I envisioned and what I received was 2 totally different things. The waitress came by asking if everything was okay, I told her that I was expecting a food on a skillet and sautéed meat and vegetables? It's like they threw in some chopped onions and bell peppers with potatoes? Doesn't come anywhere close to what I was expecting and maybe they should really comprehend the written English language that's printed on their menu. I also ordered their house coffee which seemed a bit too acidic like it was brewed longer than 30 minutes ago and it was just sitting on the warmer. I also asked the waitress owner woman and she said it was beef vegetable soup, so I imagined Campbell's beef with vegetables soup. As you can see it's a potato soup with ground beef?!?!? After tasting the soup the sensory overload happened! All I can taste was "SALT & BLACK-PEPPER!" Soup was too salty and really peppery it wasn't edible! I only ate the 2 eggs and drank half cup of coffee and left everything else! Apparently when the Chinese lady says vegetable she's referring to potatoes! For $32.40 I can get a really decent, tasty and edible food elsewhere than this place.

    Oliver's Cafe!

    It's rare to find a restaurant that is the perfect trifecta. Delicious food with fresh ingredients (we asked about their sourcing they support local farms!), genuinely wonderful owners with fantastic service across the board, and fair prices. Not to mention the place is super clean which is huge for me. Love this place. I order from DoorDash for it regularly and dine in. Would recommend it day in and day out. Oh and they are fast! It's so good. Ok stop reading this and go try it! You won't be disappointed. Love small businesses with integrity and passion!

    Stuffed French Toast Combo
    Jasmine V.

    I was recommended this restaurant awhile back but hadn't had the chance to try it until recently and I have definitely missed out! I'm a big fan of breakfast food and thought the entrees were well worth it. Upon walk in, we were greeted and there is a sign to let you know to seat yourself and then they will serve you. We waited between 5-10min for others finish up and ended up at the bar because there were actually no other seats available and this was around 12pm on a Sunday. The employees are very friendly and attentive. It looks like a family owned business. I wouldn't say the restaurant looks like any new modern brunch restaurant but I find these types of restaurants to be the best hole in the walls. We ordered the kielbasa scramble with home fries and sourdough, and stuffed French toast with sausage and sunnyside eggs. Honestly the kielbasa was delicious! It looks so simple but there was so much flavor. The home fries weren't really seasoned but they were crispy and a little salt and pepper doesn't hurt. I still found them to be really delicious. The sourdough was surprisingly good because I am use to sourdough being more thinner and a little rougher but this one was soft, fluffy and they added butter. I could eat so many slices! I would say a 9/10 rating in my book. The stuffed French toast was good but I wish it was a little more crispy. You can never go wrong with eggs and the sausage was actually really good as well, as bland as it looks. A lot of flavor! I'd give this a 8/10. Portions for both entrees were a large and we cleaned our plates! Bang for your buck for sure. There is street parking right in front of the restaurant, but I'm not too sure about behind the building. Either way, the entrance is facing the street with a sign that says "cafe." Don't judge a book by the cover here. I'll definitely be back!

    Omelet
    Ericka S.

    We were visiting Portland and were staying a few blocks from here, so we decided to try it. This was a Wednesday morning around 10 am, so it wasn't busy at all. Everything was very quick, and the prices were reasonable, which we definitely appreciated! I ordered an omelet, and my husband ordered the breakfast burrito. My meal was ok, I feel like breakfast potatoes can make or break a plate, and the ones I had were just ok. The omelet was a very good size, and it was pretty good. The burrito was huge, my husband definitely could not finish it but he liked it. Service was very kind, and we were in and out pretty quickly. Most of the menu had a pretty good price, and I would definitely go back to try something else.

    The food did not live up to the reviews that I read about the restaurant. My cheese wasn't melted on my omelette.

    Do they still have bottomless mimosas? If so, how much are they.

    No, I asked when I was there and they no longer do bottomless.

Tender, melt in your mouth with yummy BBQ sauce + it's in a Banh mi so you get the crispy texture of the fresh baked bread and pickled veggies = perfection! I appreciate fusion food when it's done right! The BBQ pork was also yummy. This one was a more traditional Banh mi flavor and we brought our own hoisin sauce to complement the flavors. What I really like about this place is they have more than just Banh mi. They have momo!! These are Nepali dumplings which are either steamed or pan fried and you can get them loaded with spicy chili sauce and peppers and onions or with other sauces. We got the spicy ones as an add on to the Banh mi. They gave me a small container of spicier sauce that was delicious when used sparingly. Hubby got spring rolls and a soda for a small ad on combo price. Those were freshly fried to perfection and tasty as well. We thought we'd have leftovers but everything was so tasty we ate most of it while talking with the owner who is a really nice guy. Writing this has me craving a return trip!
