Stumbled upon this place. Such a good hearty and warming breakfast. The best biscuits and gravy i've had so far. Also cornmeal pancakes are soooo good. Service was quick, order, seat yourselves and enjoy! Love the theme of this location. Overall so good
"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.
Never disappoints. Great biscuits, flaky and buttery with a nice crunch on the outside. Tried the special, a spicy pimento cheese sandwich with fried chicken, hot honey, jalapeños, and added an egg. A terrific way to kick off the day. Good coffee too. I like the thick mugs that keep it hot.
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!
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.
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.
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!)
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.
This was my 3rd time here in 6 months. Had to bring my gkids to try this place now they know how delicious biscuits and gravy are.
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
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.
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.
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.

Giving two stars based on the service I received which was good but that was the only thing good. The food was lacking in flavor. I'd you'd ever biscuits, It should be the star of the show. I got a bacon egg and cheese with chicken and a side of mushroom gravy. I also ordered some bacon chive and cheese hushpuppies and a cheer wine for $23.50. For that price tag I was expecting to enjoy It but was sadly disappointed. The first bite left me confused. I took a few more bites and realized everything including the chicken had no seasoning/flavor. The hush puppies were moist but again lacked flavor/seasoning. There are nearly 4K reviews and with several locations I thought a biscuit was hard to mess up. read more
The Chatfield, a warm, buttery biscuit with fried chicken, cheddar, bacon and apple butter is delish! Just the right mix of sweet and savory and plenty of protein to hold me over until lunch. The biscuits were fresh, dense, and fluffy. Don't let the size fool you. There's a lot of meal here to fill any size belly. My friend ordered a Blood Mary and thought the flavors were great. The location is great if you are planning to do some window shopping off NW 23rd. You only need to park a few blocks away to avoid paying. The service wasn't exceptional or disappointing, just what I'd expect of an order-first and self-buss restaurant. There was a short line when we arrived but it seemed to move quickly. The place is hopping, which is a good sign. I'd come back for a quick and satisfying sit down breakfast. The overall look of the restaurant was casual and clean, not too fancy but definitely not drab. read more

This should be a 5 star rating but I had an unfortunate incident where my fingers were burned when being handed my food. The incident: A server with green hair brought my food to the table. She handed me the plate and did not give me any warning regarding the high temperature of the plate. The plate was so hot, it triggered my reflex to instantly let go of the plate. The waitress was still gripping the plate at least so it didn't fall on the table but she just said a quiet "sorry" and left. No warning or willingness to get ice. My hand was burned a bit and ultimately had to rest my hand on some ice for the entire meal. I appreciate how fresh and hot the food is but there was a lack of professionalism and hospitality in this experience which makes me reconsider recommending this restaurant to other which is unfortunate because I had an otherwise great experience. A more pronounced apology and willingness to take initiative in grabbing some ice would have amended this poor interaction. The food- honestly one of the best brunch places in Portland. It's unique in the freshness of the biscuits and the variety of combinations available. The chicken pot pie was also super fresh and delicious! I also enjoyed their hash browns which were a perfect crisp. Definitely recommend some gravy when building a byob. Ambiance- seating was comfortable if you are able to find a seat. It's tight and busy so try to grab a seat inside if you can read more

Biscuits and gravy were delicious, my husband and I enjoyed it. The service is fairly quick, order and sit down. You can order for here or to go, there is a few seats inside and an outside heated patio as well! It is street parking. Would definitely come back again to try more of their menu items. read more

Affordable luxury mixed with southern charm. The food is creative and delicious. The hands that create their in-house S'mores Pop-Tarts are gifted for days. The Shrimp and Grits has a life of its own. Try it when visiting Portland. That also have vegetarian op read more
This place was recommended to me by a Portland local when I was visiting for a work trip. I ordered ahead, and was planning to take it to go. However, the sandwich was pretty messy so I decided to knife and fork it. It's a cool little spot with industrial vibes. The food tasted fresh, and the chicken had a lot of great flavors. I ordered the McIsley and Made it Hot (add buffalo sauce). It was a nice combo. I liked the biscuit, but I do wish the sandwich had held together a little bit better. I would definitely go back if I was back in Portland again. I think my husband would like it too. read more

Our first time here and was surprised to see how small it was inside. Mostly it has bar stools that are very uncomfortable. The seats they did have (barstools) which was 10 was being used. Before our food came we were able to move to a bar stool. Now for the food. We ordered the biscuits and gravy and hash browns with cheese but it didnt taste like it had cheese on it. The edges were crispy but the middle was mushy. The biscuits and gravy were a weird texture with the sausage being more gritty. Not chunky like I'm used to. In total we were not impressed with their food or the inside of the restaurant despite some good reviews. We will not be back. read more

Wasn't too long of a wait to order, but there is always a line. But there was a long wait (45 minutes) for food on a Saturday. There were 6 of us and we managed to fit at 1 table. Not really recommended for large groups. A friend ordered the same thing but her seemed bigger and had 2 eggs. I'm sad to say that this fish wasn't that great. My friend loves this places and always got the biscuits abd gravy; which I should have stuck with. The fried steak was very chewy and bland. The gravy was alright. The biscuits weren't bad. It had a nice fluff. read more
Long overdue! If you haven't gone out you must go! Definitely a great place for biscuit. I usually order the Reggie Deluxe with sausage gravy and it is scrumptious I went back again same day for another! Also ordered the biscuit beignets, hush puppies, and blueberry corneal pancake for variety. Service is fast and super friendly. I wish they expand their business to other states! read more
Pine State Biscuits was one place I really wanted to go to when I visited Portland and it did not disappoint. I ordered the Reggie and it was really good. The biscuit was warm and the chicken, bacon, and gravy went so well together. The restaurant is small but they have plenty of seats outside on the patio. I highly recommend this restaurant if you visit Portland. read more
Been here a few times and tend to get the same thing: Reggie Deluxe and Fried Green Tomatoes. Today was no different except that my daughter got a Wedgie. The ranch they use was heavy on dill which was great! Lot of food. Extended a military discount. read more

Came here for breakfast as a group while visiting. They have tons of seating and outdoor tables. It's order at the counter and get your own water. Everything that we ordered was super good and tasty. The biscuit was soft, warm and super fluffy. The gravy was super tasty also. Would come back read more
The best part about this restaurant, it's not that far away from my dad's house LOL. So when I go to visit him in Portland again, I'm definitely coming back here. Yo hands down these biscuits were fire. The gravy had so much flavor, rich flavor everything was on point. I love this place. I really love biscuits and gravy, that is usually my go-to. I had ordered the chicken biscuit gravy sandwich, my only mistake was not ordering two. My dad had to order the biscuits and gravy. So people around this area, if you have not been here before, I highly recommend it, and there is a line. Well worth the wait. read more
Loved the fresh house made biscuits and hot sauce! Everything was delicious - not overly salty, everything paired well together. I killed my entire plate. We also got the hash up but I was too busy stuffing my face and didn't take a picture of it. The hash up was bomb too! Crispy and yummy! I bet all their other dishes would be just as good. I wish they'd open one up in Sacramento because I'd go often Service was also really great. I'd definitely come back when I visit Portland again. read more

Walked up Monday morning and was a little hesitant as I walked up to a few folks waiting outside to order. However, upon further scrutiny, there is only one party allowed indoors to order at a time, so the line went relatively quickly! I ordered in a minute or so, but there are larger parties who may take a little more time. I went minimal and ordered the Moneyball with sausage gravy. Had I been with someone else, I probably would have ordered something more decadent. I received my number and walked out to sit on the street side parklet. I waited about 7 minutes before my plate came out. There were some neighboring parties that ordered sandwiches, and their items took longer. I think because the Moneyball is simple, the wait time was less. The Moneyball came out and looked fantastic. I did the ceremonial yolk breaking and cut into the biscuit. I wish the gravy was a little hotter temperature-wise, but otherwise, was pleased with all the flavors. In true gravy fashion, this is salty! Make sure to continue to hydrate post-meal. I thought the biscuit was a little tough and wished it was a little more tender. I'm not sure if that is intentional, but was something else I wish were a little different. All the staff I came across were helpful and kind. Reading the reviews, it seems like folks forget we are in a MF pandemic and that we are all trying to survive under capitalism. Relax! read more
THE best biscuits I have ever had! I ordered The Reggie with sausage gravy, and a biscuit with strawberry jam. Every bite of The Reggie was perfect. The fluffy biscuit, fried chicken, bacon, and gravy--absolute perfection. To balance the savory, I ordered a biscuit with strawberry jam. I didn't think something so simple could be so good. read more

Thank you Savannah & for your patience while Ron R. & I decided on wanting everything on the menu to finally deciding on the special (chicken fried steak), the Andouille sausage corn dog and for me the Biscuits and Gravy were super filling and hit my craving spot for comfort food! We will definitely be back. I mean I bought a Pine State Biscuits sticker for my hydro flask so I kinda have to now;) Street parking is tough but worth the walk! They have outdoor, indoor and kitchen view counter seating. Coffee is fresh and hot and the service is friendly! read more

Fluffy biscuits and tasty gravy! Veggie option tastes great. I noticed no difference. So good. Not much seating so we took it to go. Made fresh so it's a wait. Either way, glad we Checked it out! read more
It's so greedy... biscuits, egg, gravy, cheese FRIED CHICKEN?! What?! It was so good! I was tearing it up like an animal... this meal really brought the beast out in me. My friend's mustard one was a little heavy on the mustard though, so maybe skip that one. The hash browns were crizzzby too! You MUST try their homemade pop tart of the day. Ours had a creamy brown butter fig filling that I will dream about. They mostly have outdoor seating and it was cold when we went, so throw on a puff coat and some timbs incase you have to dine outside. read more
Went on a random weekday and it was relatively empty with more than enough room for two people to eat lunch. The biscuits were super soft and yummy, the gravy was on the thinner side (wish they gave more) and the egg complimented the biscuit mountain decently. Mushroom gravy was so good. Very heavy meal and would honestly recommend splitting a dish with a friend and then getting more treats/coffees in the neighborhood if you're a tourist like me. It fills you up for certain! Price was reasonable and the interior was very quirky and cute. Self-serve. Would rec adding to your itinerary and trying some Portland style biscuits and gravy. If you have particular items you want, you can basically customize your own sandwich too. read more
There is so much I could say about Pine State Biscuits. First, the food is out of the world awesome. They use organic and the freshest local food available. The biscuits are freshly made daily. The chick is tender and simply magnificent. The hash browns are the best I've ever tasted. You can't and won't go wrong selecting anything from their menu. The service is fast and efficient. I went on Friday morning before the crowds showed up. This place has been featured on quite a few television features. It can get crowded, so plan accordingly. They also offer takeout. The ambiance and decor is unique and interesting. If you are a casual visitor to Portland, this is definitely a winner and well worth a visit. This review is for the Alberta Street location. read more
I was in Portland for 36 hours for work. I was supposed to be there for a bit longer but cancelled flights and all. My point is that I didn't get to go anywhere on my Portland food list :ugly cries: However, my chaperone for the weekend was a Portland (sort of) native and she made sure I got my southern itched scratched before I headed back to NYC. I know what you're thinking - Amanda, Portland is not in the south. This is true however apparently they do southern well. Quick fun fact: did you know the reason it's impossible to get a southern style biscuit outside of the south is because other areas of the US don't have the same wheat and flour? That said, Pine Street did a phenomenal job of working with what they had. The Reggie was everything I needed: big, meaty, and covered in sausage gravy. I also got 2 scrambled eggs and an assortment of jellies and apple butter. Always do this. 12/10 will go back as soon as Alaska drops some cheap fares again. Extra: we sat on the covered outside porch at the picnic tables. Tables were mad sturdy and fat girl approved! read more
Their chicken pot pie!! Raining Saturday morning, no lines. Didn't want to be too stuffed so I got their chicken pot pie. It takes about 20 minutes to cook and they tell you, but it's worth it! Mix the pot pie with some of their home made hot sauce! read more

Was craving a yummy brunch so stopped in this morning and was pleasantly surprised! As you walk in the door, you place your order at the front and then have a seat. They were pretty busy but our food came out so quickly! It's a self serve coffee station with 3 different types of coffee, I got to try the exceptional coffee and it was so good. The biscuits tasted like grandma's and the gravy was perfect. I got both the sausage and mushroom- both delicious! I would totally come back again for brunch in the future. read more

Went here on a Friday morning around 7:15am and there was no line at the register. We had parked on a side street nearby and walked over. They have a microphone that you can speak to so because of the plexiglass there. I went for the Reggie Deluxe (Fried chicken, bacon & cheese topped with gravy with egg) and elected to get a small side of hash browns. The employees handed us a number to take to the outdoor dining section and let us know that water was behind us and that the silverware was just before heading to the outside patio area. The tables outside are kinda cool; those that are clean have the green "clean" sign on it; change it to dirty once you're done. The food came out in 10 mins or so and I was excited to try it out. The fried chicken is juicy and the batter isn't too thick and was perfectly made. The biscuit itself wasn't too dry but it was nice mixing the delicious gravy on there with the chicken. It's so flavorful haha; I see why this was recommended! For their hash browns it's grilled on one side pretty complete and they put some chili powder or something to give it a small kick to it. Give it a try if you're in Portland! read more
Long story short: great food, but long wait and mediocre service. -The KFC (Korean fried chicken) sandwich was delicious! Biscuits were crispy but not too buttery & overpowering, but the chicken was SUPER crunchy, juicy, and had the perfect seasoning and sauce! I loved their pickled veggies they added and overall it was a super good sandwich. Would order again. - Reggie & Reggie Deluxe: Only difference between these 2 items are that it comes with an egg! It was alright. The biscuit again was crispy & it came with 2 options of gravy: bacon or mushroom, but we opted for a mix of both. Service was very im personable, cold, and super slow. We waited almost 30 minutes for food and no one else was there. They were super strict about having us do outdoor seating but several minutes later a party sat indoors. Wouldn't come for the people again, but the food is good enough to-go. read more
I am usually not at all a breakfast person especially biscuits and gravy only because it's such a heavy meal for me. But the husband was craving biscuits and gravy, therefore we headed to pine state biscuits! Tbh, I am not a huge breakfast/biscuits and gravy person because it's just so heavy. But when on vacation.. yolo I guess lol. We both orders the Reggie which was a fried chicken biscuit sandwich with cheese topped with gravy of your choice- we chose sausage gravy. My oh my, talk about a HEAVY sandwich, but damn it was really good. I wasn't sure if I would be able to taste the fried chicken with all that gravy, but the flavor of the fried chicken really pushed through. Overall it was a really good sandwich. Would I eat it again? Sure, but not too often because ya know.. I don't need to slow down my heart . read more

Some things get better with age. Sadly, Pine State Biscuits does not fall into this category. I've gone here for years on multiple Portland visits, but this was my first visit in about four years (thanks covid). I was really excited to check 'em out again and enjoy a heaping biscuit breakfast sandwich, but sad when the biscuits were dry and crumbly, and the food within them lukewarm and not very well seasoned. For the amount they charge for food (you don't even get table service) I expected a premium breakfast experience, and they really fell short. Maybe it's a post-covid thing, I dunno. But I was really disappointed. read more
