Love everything about this place! Perfect for a morning visit with friends. Everything we tried was phenomenal and not to heavy.

Apple Butter and Biscuit
Tully B.

The mushroom gravy is a warm embrace on a drizzly day, the bacon demanding to be hugged by the Tillamook cheese. Pine State will be busy at peak hours because it is good. On a Sunday at noon we waited a half hour on Division and sat outside (though there was a table inside). Once we counter-ordered the food was out in about 10 minutes. Coffee in hand, we had our local hot sauce waiting. The biscuit is perfect and the apple butter is like elevated apple sauce- eager to be spread. The hash-ups are love. Highly recommend getting a side of gravy to dump on top! This is a larger PSB, but they're still may be a wait as it is in a great location!

I've been a raving fan since they opened more than 20 years ago. This is the first time I've "built my own" with pulled pork. I opted for both sausage and mushroom gravy. Wow, this will be a go to order. The staff was friendly as usual. Pine State is a top 3 Portland breakfast spot, hands-down.

Pine Street Biscuits absolutely lives up to the hype. The biscuits are perfectly flaky, buttery, and hold up beautifully to their generous fillings. What we ordered was unreal--crispy, thick-cut bacon, melty cheese, and rich gravy all stacked on a fresh biscuit. Pure comfort food heaven. The portions are big, the flavors are bold, and everything tastes fresh and made with care. It can get busy, but the line moves quickly and the food is well worth the wait. Staff was friendly and efficient, even during a rush. If you're a biscuit lover or just want an indulgent breakfast/brunch, this place is a must. I'll definitely be back.

Took my son to have lunch here and it did NOT disappoint. He ate the BBQ biscuit that had slaw on it. The biscuit was cooked solid enough to withhold the meat but also soft enough to spread jelly on

I was up visiting family in Portland and we went to Pine State Biscuits for breakfast. It's very cute and looks kind of rustic on the outside. When you go inside you order at the register and then take a seat. There are lots of seats inside and we were able to grab a table in the back. I built my own biscuit sandwich with egg and cheddar cheese and my partner had The Reggie which is a biscuit with fried chicken, bacon, and cheese topped with gravy. My mom order pancakes and we ordered a plain biscuit just to taste. The biscuits were buttery and flakey, just what you expect. My sandwich was delicious but The Reggie was the star! The friend chicken was perfect and the gravy smooth. My mom also said the pancakes were good. Pine State Biscuits is a fun place to have breakfast! I would come back if I was in the neighborhood.

Stopped in Portland for brunch on our way back to California and couldn't pass up Pine State Biscuits. This location was the most convenient along our route. It's been a while since my last visit, but the quality and flavor are still just as amazing -- it hits the spot every time. When we arrived, there was no line, but it did take a bit of time for our food to come out after ordering. There's limited indoor seating, but they have a covered patio with more space. FOOD Reggie (5/5): Never disappoints -- the gravy ties everything together perfectly. Chatfield (4/5): The kids enjoyed it. Hash Ups (5/5): Big hit with the kids! Fried Green Tomatoes (5/5): Perfectly crispy and flavorful. Spicy Pimiento Chicken Sandwich (5/5): So good -- definitely recommend! Strawberry Almond Pop-Tart (3/5): My least favorite of the bunch; could've used a bit more flavor. DRINKS Bloody Mary (5/5): One of the best I've had -- perfectly balanced and flavorful. Overall, my family and I very satisfied with the food and service. The only downside is the street parking -- we got lucky getting a spot right in front.

It's been a long time since I've been here and I wondered if they're still as good as they used to be. I had just been wanting simple biscuits and gravy for weeks and finally had my chance to get some. Such a big biscuit, so much gravy. Yep, it really is still just solid good. My partner wanted a biscuit sandwich and cheesy grits which were quite satisfying. We weren't planning on a dessert of any kind but when we saw our options we had to try a couple items. Really didn't disappoint.

The Reggie, hash browns, Reggie Deluxe

Round 2 of coming here due to a strong craving for a biscuit sandwich. We were easily able to order online to avoid stand around and waiting. We arrived and our food was ready. They have a great system for picking up your online orders so we were out of there quickly. They have a great outside eating area which would be very appealing in the warmer months. We had the Reggie with sausage gravy and biscuits and gravy also with sausage gravy. The biscuits truely are amazing and worth the hype. The sausage gravy was also very good with just a hint of spiciness. The chicken and bacon in the sandwich was pretty good as well. I'll definitely return when needing my biscuit fix in the future

The "Moneyball" before it just disappeared off of the plate.  Sooooooo good!
Roger R.

Based upon the reviews I read on Yelp, my wife and I decided to try this place out on our recent trip to Portland. WOW!!!!!!! When we walked in, Lily was there, just waiting to help us out. She gave us some recommendations and we were leaning towards the Reggie, but we both decided to get the Biscuits & Gravy, aka "The Moneyball", with a side of sausage. We knew that we had selected the right thing because Lily's face kind of lit up. When she brought us our orders, she shared a little bit of the history behind the restaurant and went that extra mile to make us both feel warm and welcome. After our firsts bites, we knew we had found a goldmine. The flavors in the sausage gravy are out of this world amazing. We both used that amazing biscuit to scrape up every little bit of that gravy off of the plates. I would highly recommend place.

Every time I visit Portland, Pine State is a must. The mushroom gravy is insane! I get the biscuit with fried chicken, cheese and bacon... I know sounds like a lot but it's honestly perfect.

Michael C.

Amazingly flakey and yummy biscuit sandwiches!!! The way both the sausage and mushroom gravy complimented everything made me already want to go back soon!! A little slow on the service but I think it's because there was a lot of people ahead of us. Oh and the cinnamon roll was amazing as well. 10/10 would go again

Corn meal blueberry pancakes...just a hint of CM for some toothiness!
Harold M.

Had some woodworking done at NW Creative on Taylor and on impulse stopped inta' Pine State...OMG sitting there eating blueberry corn meal pancakes it got me thinkin' "This is the kinda joint that makes Portland, Portland!" You're familiar with craft beer, cider, gin but craft biscuits?!?! Freaking awesome! The coffee was excellent and the biscuits with butter and marion berry jam was just whatcha want after some woodworking! Nice warm atmosphere and quick service on a liquid sunshine late autumn day in bridgetown! As Ahnold said, "I'll be Bach!"

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.

This place was packed on a Sunday morning and the inside was beautiful living up to the country vibes of the restaurant. Staff is super friendly and had really good recommendations. What we ordered: Cinnamon rolls(this reminded me of the old-school Entenmann's dessert had like a creamy custard in the inside of it, which was absolutely amazing. Came out nice and warm) Chicken waffles country, fried steak and eggs The country fried steak and eggs was 1 million out of 10 was the thickest piece of country fried steak I've ever had in my life and I'm not a big fan of country fried steak but this was a hit for me. She asked me if I wanted the white gravy or the brown gravy and asked her what was her recommendation. She said try both and I was glad that I listened to her. It was Rich. It was creamy. It was flavorful. Its homemade and it was huge. I would definitely recommend this place. If you wanna have breakfast I'm from California and I wish there were something like this.

Everything we ordered was gorgeous and whimsical in presentation, but of course that would mean little without the flavors to back it all up, which it had in spades. The Thai steak tartare tostadas were incredibly balanced, with brightness and herbaceous notes from the vegetables, herbs, and sauce, great punch from the Thai spices, richness from the tartare, and a nice snap and slight nuttiness from the tapioca crisps cradling everything underneath. The foie gras dumplings were simply divine. I expected them to be rich and dense, but they were like little pillows, with a savory filling and a perfect balance of smoked leek broth, crispy fried leeks, and a caramelized shallot jam that ended up being the surprise star of the dish for me. Then came the main event, the Duck Stack, which I can only describe as a McGriddle on steroids (in the best possible way!). Somehow it all worked beautifully, with the rich duck gravy, fluffy pancakes drenched in syrup, spiced onions, and a fried duck egg tying everything together in perfect harmony. It was one of those dishes that sounds wild on paper but is totally brilliant on the plate and in your mouth. Really fantastic meal from start to finish, and I'm already excited to come back to try more of the menu (and the happy hour!) on a future visit.

I'm going to be thinking about those Foie Gras Dumplings for quite a long time…read more All items I tried last night at Canard were creative, flavorful, well presented and reasonably priced. The garlic fries were spicy in the best way, perfectly crisp, and served steaming hot. The Duck Stack (pancakes covered with duck gravy, onions, and a duck egg) sounded a bit odd to me (and probably many others). When I asked the server if it was good, they told me that people travel to the restaurant specifically for that dish. I'm glad I tried it. Again, very unique with a well balanced spice profile paired with the delicious undertones of a hot pancake. I know I would have never thought of that, doesn't sound like it should work, but....it worked! Service was great, atmosphere was a bit loud with a band playing next door, it was a bit overwhelming, plus a random dude walked into the restaurant and a server lit his joint for him as a courtesy(?)...stunk the place up for a few minutes, but as I thought about it, I decided that was about the most "Portland" thing I had seen all week on my trip :) I'll be going back for sure, I would love to taste through that entire menu. Did I mention the Foie Gras Dumplings? I never had anything like them in my life. That's a dish I would definitely travel back to Portland for.

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.

It comes loaded with a generous portion of grilled mortadella and melted provolone cheese, perfectly moistened with a tangy mustard aioli. The fresh lettuce and bell peppers added a satisfying crunch to every bite. Chefwich - K-Town Steak Sandwich (5/5): A limited-time creation packed into a banh mi roll.
