"Build Your Own" is my new goto. Pulled pork, fried egg, cheese (sometimes), both gravy types. Heaven. Their new homemade hot sauce is worthy. Staff is usually very nice. A top 3 Portland spot for sure. read more

Pine State Biscuits - Build Your Own with Pulled Pork and both gravy varieties is my new goto. - Southern Near Me - Portland, Oregon

So first the good: We had the chicken fried steak and blueberry pancakes with corn meal. I really liked the pancakes, the blueberries are cooked in and the cornmeal real made them delicious. The chicken fried steak was nice and the gravy was unique with a mustard base. The biscuit was perfect. The bad: I had a fork full of pancakes and pulled a hair out of my mouth. That was NOT tasty. The endless coffee. They had 2 pump coffee dispensers. One was empty, they brought over a full one when asked. I filled mugs one each out of different dispensers. No clean spoons to stir with. Both mugs of coffee were cold, even from the new dispenser. They promptly worked at getting new coffee. When it was done, I filled my mugs, still no clean spoons. I asked for spoons and they were provided. Later I wondered how long the milk had been sitting there. When I asked the coffee guy about the milk he said they change it every day. I told him I was concerned that it may not be good, he said something to the effect of yeah I understand. I didn't see it checked or replaced. I grew up in Portland, but live out of town. I don't think I will be coming back to this place. read more

Was visiting from out of town with two friends on a rainy Sunday morning. Parking was, of course, on the street but we had no issue finding a spot in one of the nearby neighborhoods. There was surprisingly no line or wait when we walked in. We ordered at the counter and then sat ourselves. There isn't much seating indoors, maybe 4 or 5 booth tables and additional bar-style seating, so we sat outside which was fully covered and had heaters. I ordered the chicken friend steak with biscuit and mushroom gravy. One friend ordered a biscuit breakfast sandwich (I believe the Reggie) and a homemade red velvet pop tart. The other friend ordered the biscuit with mushroom gravy. Everything was amazing. So flavorful and so comforting. Portions are also pretty big and worth the price. We ended up having to take the pop tart home because we were so full and didn't end up eating it until the following morning but even then it was still delicious. Will definitely be back! read more

I've heard good things about this place, so I gave it a try. Firstly, the space is not well organized due to being too small to meet the number of customers. Ordering was a little chaotic, as was getting seated and finding utensils. I'm willing to accept chaos if the food is awesome. Was the food awesome? It bordered on it, but couldn't quite make the leap. It didn't lose its grip, and plummet into the chasm of mediocrity, but it dangled with its legs flailing for a bit. "The Reggie", their basic chicken biscuit, was a bit dry. It really could have used a little bit more gravy. The chicken was good, and the breading was excellent. The biscuit itself was the dry part. There was too much of it for the amount of gravy. Now, I'm not from the South. I've only been dabbling in Southern Cuisine for a few years, so I fully admit that I may be missing the point. The chicken fried steak was decent. Smothered with their delicious gravy with an open faced biscuit on the side, it was the stand out meal at the table. The Wedge is interesting. I may have to order one myself to get more of a taste of it. The brisket was a little tough, though. The fries were decent. The cheesy fries were lackluster (a little cheddar melted in the center), but the Cajun fries had a nice spice, and they weren't afraid to heap it on. While it was not the best chicken and biscuit I've had, it certainly was not the worst, but the chicken fried steak stood out from the rest. read more

Wow. WOW. WOW! So good. I'd been wanting to go here for over a year, and finally made it yesterday. Amazing biscuits and the most creative and delicious biscuit sandwiches. I can't think of words to adequately describe the McIsley. It's a biscuit sandwich with an amazingly tasty fried chicken breast, stone ground mustard and the best pickles I've ever had. They serve this with a ribbon of honey around the plate and this just put it over the top. My dining companion had the Moneyball - biscuit and gravy, with an over easy egg atop it. They offer a choice of sausage or vegan gravy; they had the sausage and unlike the gravy at some places, you could actually see sausage chunks throughout. Really quick delivery of our food. A very clean, comfortable place. On-street parking only. read more

Homemade biscuits, tasty toppings, and a fantastic staff! Shoutout to the employee who gave us the free mini sauce containers of pimento and apple jam when we swung by in the afternoon for some extra toppings (we had ordered from them in the morning). Perhaps they just didn't want to deal with the little charge, but it made our day! It took a fork to eat the chicken biscuit with gravy, but I would certainly get any of their dishes again! (We also got the brisket biscuit which was divine!) read more

It's been awhile since I have been to this location. You orders first from the counter and then find a place to sit (similar with the other locations). We just ordered The Reggie Deluxe, Grits, and Hash Ups (add brisket) to shared. I really enjoyed the Hash Ups with the brisket as the meat was super tender that you could cut it with a fork. The Reggie Deluxe was still a classic and tasted like it always does. We were lucky to beat the rush. read more

Some places serve food. Pine State Biscuits serves comfort. The food here is incredible, filling, and absolutely satisfying. I left very full and very happy. The space is on the smaller side if you're planning to eat inside, and since seating is open, tables can fill up quickly. The staff are attentive and welcoming as soon as you walk up to the counter, which makes the experience smooth even when it's busy. Ordering ahead is a great option, especially if you're grabbing food to go. This is a great spot for family, friends, or a casual brunch date. It may not be traditionally romantic, but when the food speaks to your heart and soul like this... it kind of works anyway. Come hungry, plan to be full, and don't be surprised if you're already thinking about your next visit. read more

Fluffy cake like biscuit - moist Marion berry pop tart - mmmm puff pastry tart Chicken fried steak legit - not that ground beef Reggie We like the sausage gravy better than the mushroom gravy (but both are solid) We came here hungry and we did indeed divulge! We aren't biscuit snobs so maybe we can't tell what's a "legit" biscuit or not, but the food was good and tasty. Bottom line: would hit this place up again read more

I ordered food through DoorDash from here and MAN. It was so flavorful. I use to live in North Carolina and do I miss a good biscuit. I ordered the Veggie Reggie, hashbrowns with brisket, a SEC, biscuit beignets and an Arnold Palmer. The taste of the food being brought to me was so delicious I need to come in person to order these plates or some of the other things in the menu. read more

Amazing biscuits! I mean with a name like pine state biscuits you would hope so but they are amazing. My group got 2 Reggie deluxe one will sausage gravy and one with mushroom gravy they both devoured them. I got a bacon egg and cheese with a side of sausage gravy. There was so much bacon that was cooked to perfection nice and crispy and the gravy was a great complement to it. Will absolutely eat here again! read more

So hungry from an early flight we stopped by after flying into PDX. We called ahead to see if there was much of a wait/ line and was told 10 or so minutes but it was a lot faster than that which was great. Service was very friendly. We shared Make Your Own biscuit sandwich and the blueberry corn pancakes-- very good! The biscuit was delicious and very large. We had two pancakes rather than the three (didn't know this was an option until the employee offered). It was plenty. We had a side sausage. The pancakes were so good! Hot and delicious. They come with syrup and a lemon wedge which really balances out the sweet from the syrup and corn. We sat outside with heat lamps. It was clean and cozy. read more

Food: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Went here for brunch with a friend, and it was my first time, so I was pretty excited to try it out. The place has both inside and outside seating, and there are plenty of options to choose from on the menu. I ordered the chicken fried steak plate, and woww the portion size was HUGE. The only issue was the gravy to meat ratio it felt so off, and I had to order extra gravy. However, it was $3 for a tiny sauce sized container, which felt a bit ridiculous. We also tried the fried mac n cheese bites ($8). They were super oily, and neither my friend nor I enjoyed them. The beignets ($4) were also a let down they weren't fluffy or soft like I expected. Instead, they were dense and tasted like they had been refried more than once. Would not recommend. Of course, eating here is an indulgent, heavy meal, and I did enjoy the biscuit and gravy a lot. The fried chicken and steak were good at the beginning, but it got a bit tough to eat after a while. The area is really nice for dining and catching up with friends, and I'd be open to coming back to try something different from the menu next time. read more

I don't really think much of a place where they're known of biscuit sandwiches but every Yelp recommendation showed this place. Luckily for me and right around the corner was this location and zero wait. The Reggie with sausage gravy--wow. Crispy juicy chicken and my god this was so good. By itself it really is a full meal. Looking around lots of people just ordered the biscuit entree by itself. Where they're missing out though is the has browns! 10/10 for seasonings and flavor! Actually I think I'd come here for those instead. Nevertheless this place must be on your radar for something seemingly so simple but extremely well made. Inside and outside it's just cozy; lots of single seating and picnic table seating for a nice conversation under the beautiful PNW weather. read more

Food: the food was delicious. Their portions are huge so be prepared for a big meal. Service: the service was great. The staff is attentive and very personable.

At this point, I have been to Pine State Biscuits twice and all I can say is, I WILL be back. I am not a huge gravy person, nor do I eat pork. This made their menu options off limits to me. However, Pine State Biscuits has a great build your own option to create your own biscuit. I got a biscuit with fried chicken, a fried egg, and cheese. The biscuit tasted freshly made and was soft to the touch, mixed with the chicken, egg, and cheese, which made for the perfect bite. I also tried the cinnamon bun, but this tasted borderline stale - not soft at all and hard to cut, I would not get this again. The star of the meal was the lemon meringue poptart, yum! Definitely on the tart side so beware but the flavor was amazing and went well with coffee. I came around lunch time on a Saturday and it was fairly empty, the inside was clean, with lots of tables on the inside and outside. The cashier was friendly as were the staff who brought our choices. Overall, I love it here and would come back given the option! read more

Even though the place is all about biscuits I couldn't pass up the shrimp n grits when I saw it on the menu! This place is not for the diet conscious, let's start there. Everything is heavy, which also means tasty. The shrimp and grits were good. I am a sauce girl and I loved the garlic sauce. I almost wished it wasn't so hot that day because this would be extra nice on a cold winter day, so warm and cozy. read more

What a lovely place! Ambience is so good especially if you go in for breakfast or before the lunch rush. I think they are worth trying, considering all the hype! I tried their regular biscuits & gravy, and it was so yummy! I sat at the counter and watched the skilled chefs make it fresh. the sausage gravy is quite savory and paired well with the buttery biscuits! I also tried their blueberry pancakes, and it was AMAZING!!! the blueberries were fresh & the syrup was 100% maple! it felt like such a treat to eat I will be back to try their other dishes!! read more

Pine State is Pine State is Pine State -- now what do I mean by that? Pine State is a Portland calling for those are invested in biscuits and gravy. And being vegetarian, I particularly love them for having vegetarian gravy offerings so my leaf eating self can try! I have been to the Pine State locations a handful for times over the past few years and I will say that they are certainly consistent when it comes to quality and taste. I also tried the hashbrowns here which were good, but not super memorable. Let's be real the biscuits and gravy are the real stars. The vegetarian gravy has depth and good flavor without being too salty and the biscuits are always fluffy on the inside. Portions are on the larger side so plan or order accordingly; it's nice to have an option for omnivores and vegetarian alike in your group which I appreciate. Prices are fair for the quality of food. Service is nice but lines can get rather long if you come at peak hours, esp on the weekends. Street parking in this area can also get tricky so leave some time for that too! read more

This local Portland spot is a great place to stop in and grab some brunch with friends! The menu has some cool breakfast and lunch sándwich options and the prices are fair for what you get. The inside has a moderate amount of seating and there's an opening leading to outdoor covered and heated seating options as well. The staff was nice and the food was delicious! I tried the club which was huge and the beignets were absolutely delicious. Overall I would definitely recommend this spot if you haven't tried it out yet. read more

This location has it down in terms of food, speed, service. We came by on a Sunday after seeing the other restaurants on this street had hour+ waitlists. We waited in line for all of 5-10 minutes, had our food within 15 after that and plenty of seating to boot. My friend I brought had never tried this Portland staple and she absolutely loved it. You have to try the pop tarts if you go.. my personal favorite . read more

Odd (yet impressive) experience on Labor Day! The power on all of Alberta seemed to be out, but they kept working and doing what they could here. Despite it being hectic and abnormal circumstances, the staff was friendly and delivered great service. Shoutout to whoever had to clean dishes with cold water, I would literally go crazy. Even with no electricity, our food was all the right temperature, everyone in my group enjoyed our food and we will be excited to visit again under more normal conditions! Hats off to them. read more

This is a solid breakfast pick for takeout, delivery, or dine in. Whether you want a biscuit sandwich covered in delicious sausage gravy, a stack of blueberry cornmeal pancakes, a simple breakfast sandwich, a pop tart, or a corn dog with delicious mustard, these folks have you covered. It is really easy to overindulge here so I try to only come when I want to impress out of town guests. However, sometimes I just crave delivery when I'm being naughty. The pancakes are definitely to share or eat over the course of several days unless you have a massive appetite. I usually also eat the biscuit sandwich in two sittings unless I am ravenous. I like to eat one side like an open faced sandwich and slather the other with their delicious jam. I cannot tell you which is the best jam because I have enjoyed them all. However, I generally opt for the marion berry, strawberry or apple butter. This place can be really busy. First thing in the morning is the best time to go. read more

We (partner, child and myself) went there for a late breakfast. We tried multiple items on the menu ranging from a couple of different biscuit sandwiches to the pancake to the fried green tomatoes. Every single thing was amazing. The biscuits were absolutely delicious, but more importantly, unlike other southern style biscuits, they weren't dry and crumbly. The honey butter was wonderful because it was honey layered on top with butter vs other places that usually mix honey and butter together giving butter with a slight honey flavor. I've never had fried green tomatoes so I didn't know what to expect. But I'm so glad I tried them. They're something I will be getting again and again. Do not be deterred if there's a line, because the food will make you glad you waited. read more

Decided to come here for a little birthday brunch and it was tasty! The shop is kind of like a cafe style where you order first and given a number, then they'll bring out your food. Surprisingly the food wasn't as hot as i thought it'd be when it arrived to our table. My order of biscuits and gravy was okay, but nothing over the top. I enjoyed my friend's order a little more as she had opted for a different gravy. I thought food was a little more on the salty side. We also ordered a side of fries which was good with the gravy. Would skip on the fried mac n cheese bites next time. Everyone there was very kind. The only service you really get is at the counter when you order and when they drop the food off to your table. Definitely a portland staple if you're in town! It's definitely my top 3 for biscuits and gravy in Portland. read more

This place was legit. Even though we arrived early, the line started stretching out the door right after we ordered. The space itself is cozy and welcoming, with staff who are friendly and helpful from the moment you walk in. I ordered The Reggie Deluxe - a biscuit sandwich stacked with fried chicken, bacon, gravy and an egg. The biscuits are made fresh, and you can taste it in every bite. We sat outside on the patio, which had heaters set up so the weather wasn't an issue. Between the comfort food, atmosphere, and service, this place is a straight banger. read more

Pine State is serving us the BEST biscuits and gravy. The soft, flaky biscuits smothered in a creamy savory rich gravy of your choice is heartwarming in the stomach and feelings xD. This location was wonderful in a popular area to walk around and check other places out. They have outside seating so seems dog friendly but I'd definitely call first just in case. Ok there are other menu options but if it's your first time, please get the Moneyball which is biscuits and gravy and comes with an egg. You will absolutely be full even though it looks small as it is a high caloric meal and a hearty breakfast or brunch option. You can also do build your own biscuit which is cool and add meat like smoked brisket. A second fantastic menu option is the The Reggie Deluxe. It's a giant biscuit sandwich with fried chicken bacon and cheese and an egg since you absolutely need the protein cmon it's breakfast time! There's no gravy btw. Don't forget to add a coffee or drink! We did the Puff Coffee Cold Brew Can which is a local coffee brewery in Portland. Food: - the Moneyball - classic biscuit and gravy with egg - Reggie Deluxe - biscuit sandwich with fried chicken and egg read more

Lots of reviews and write ups and I can see why as the menu pops of hot button key words that offer promise of deliciousness. Sadly, the supposed star, the biscuits, are flavorless and detract from whatever they hold as the accompaniment. No point in getting the biscuits. The chicken and other meats were decent but not standouts in any way. On a positive note: wonderful blueberry pancake and real syrup. Hash browns had exceptional potato taste, like the old days! Service friendly. If you need heavy fat and salty food, here's a place for you. read more

It was definitely OK for me. Wasn't the best I've ever had, or the worst. The biscuit was a little drier than I like but the gravy was good. The chicken was ok too, just not amazing. Wait staff was super nice and the restaurant was cozy so nice place on a cold day except for the time we were outside waiting to get in. That was super cold. read more

Definitely a must visit for Portland. The Reggie is an amazing biscuit sandwich, make it deluxe by adding an egg (opted for this since we came for breakfast). You can ask for the gravy on the side if you prefer to control how much goes on your biscuit. They have a handful of crafted biscuit sandwiches, but you can also build your own. There's a handful of non-biscuit options as well, plus sides. But the biscuit is their signature dish and it was crumbly but moist and not too heavy. I definitely wolfed down the reggie deluxe and probably could've had another as well, it's that good. The fried chicken was perfection and paired with the biscuit and gravy -- deliciousness. Staff was friendly and quick to put in orders -- you order & pay first, then find yourself a seat (they have a large patio area in addition to some indoor seating). Food orders may take a bit of time to come out, but it was well worth the wait. Definitely don't miss Pine State Biscuits if you're in Portland! read more

This is a must stop if you're visiting Portland! Even if you live here for that matter you should come. Their biscuits are out of this world. So flavorful and soft yet still having a crispy shell. Miracle makers I tell you I ordered the Reggie deluxe and it satisfied me in ways I only thought possible in movies. My only regret is that I didn't have more stomach space to eat another. Both the Bloody Mary and ale Mary were great. What ever mix they are using is incredibly savory and will leave you wanting more. Next time I'm in town, I know where my first brunch spot will be! read more

The wait is just not worth it. Ridiculous to stand in rain for an hour watching the most unprofessional production line.

This place was incredible! We made a special trip from the airport to eat here, and it was worth it. The food was exceptional, with plenty of seating options, and the service was welcoming and friendly, especially to those of us from out of town. Super fun to eat on the patio and enjoy the summer morning. I believe you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The pop tart was a delightful surprise--a delicious and fun way to kick off breakfast. We tried the Reggie, the bacon, egg, and cheese biscuits, and the sausage, egg, and biscuit. Every biscuit was fantastic--fluffy yet sturdy enough to hold the egg, cheese, and bacon. I'm just disappointed I didn't try the beignets, so I'll definitely be coming back. read more
