First time here and it was very filling! The fried chicken biscuit was yum! The beignets were not Louisiana style but still good like fried donuts to me. Nice service, and quite lively on a Saturday. read more

Received 1/2 of an egg and an unknown food object in my Reggie Deluxe. Usually love this place, but this is unacceptable. Please do better. read more

Pine State Biscuits - The Reggie - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I'm still thinking about The Reggie ($12) and Hash Ups ($9) from Pine State Biscuits ever since I had it during my trip to Portland! Biscuits are made fresh and it is SO good. To top this off, the sausage and mushroom gravy is flavorful and makes me want to dip biscuits in it all day long. They do not charge extra for getting both types of gravy on your biscuit - so try both! Don't pass on the Hash Ups! I highly recommend getting this and ordering it extra crispy. I've never had hashbrowns this good! I didn't order extra meat with the Hash Ups because it already comes with sautéed mushrooms, cheese, and onions. I came on a weekday right when they opened so there was no line! They have friendly staff who are attentive. Seriously, the food is so good here and I will definitely come back if I'm ever in Portland again! read more

Pine State Biscuits was one of the best meals I had in Portland. It's highly rated for a reason! My friends and I wanted to get it for breakfast but when we arrived, there was a long line out the door for take out and no seats available for dining in either. We were planning to order take out anyway so we decided to check online to see if it would be faster. They provide an estimated time to pick up and at 10AM, we were told to pick up at 1PM! Since it was definitely a spot I wanted to try, we decided to put our orders in anyway and killed some time downtown before coming back to get our biscuits. Even when we came back at 1PM, it wasn't ready for another ~15 mins. All of us got The Reggie ($12) except for one who got The Club but we all enjoyed it regardless. The Reggie comes with fried chicken, cheese, bacon, and your choice of mushroom or sausage (or both) gravy. I got both gravy but the mushroom one was overpowered by the sausage gravy, still delicious though. The biscuits were perfectly done, crispy on the outside yet fluffy on the inside. The fried chicken was also fried perfectly and the bacon was very crispy too. It was delicious! We also got the Hash Ups, basically a loaded hash browns dish, and a side of collards. Both great as well. Definitely a must visit when in Portland. It was so yummy and I highly recommend getting there early. Even at 1PM (and later), there was a line to order for take out. I'll be dreaming of this biscuit sandwich. read more

Best meal ever in Portland! So they are a dine in restaurant, but of course you have an option to do take out instead. When my friends and I arrived for breakfast, both options were a super long wait! So we just decided to order ahead for lunch and explore the city while we wait. Even though we got there at the pick up time, we still had to wait a little bit, but it was well worth it. If you come here, you must get The Reggie! It's loaded with all the deliciousness. The fried chicken was crispy and juicy. The bacon, cheese, and gravy added into it was so perfect. The biscuit itself was so fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Another item you must try is the Hash Ups. It's a giant crispy hash brown loaded with mushrooms, cheese, onions, and more. Another perfect dish. Don't expect to get a healthy meal here because everything is loaded with so much stuff and it is so worth it. If I go back to Portland, I will 100% want to come back. read more

Five stars for their deliciously plump biscuits (served with a generous cup of softened butter on the side) and generous plate of hash browns (thick cake of nicely shredded, browned, tender, & flavorful potatoes)!!

Pine State Biscuits - The BEST biscuits!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This was the best breakfast/brunch I've had in ages. I've gotten Pine State biscuits through delivery before, but I had never been in person. I can't wait to come back. My friend and I stopped in after massage appointments and ordered a bunch of food to share. Everything was delicious- there were no disappointments. The true standouts were the chicken pot pie and the blueberry cornmeal pancakes. The chicken pot pie had a thick pastry crust, was extremely flavorful, and somehow the vegetables weren't soggy. This is some impressive alchemy. We ordered just one blueberry cornmeal pancake, and it was truly huge. It had only the natural sweetness of the fruit and corn but was served with butter and maple syrup which was excellent. It was a bit runny inside so maybe it was technically underdone, but I loved it. The biscuits and gravy were delicious as expected, but I actually enjoyed the shrimp and grits more. With their homemade hot sauce, this was the best shrimp and grits I've had in Portland. At this location they had a nice semi-outdoor seating area with heating, which was perfect for the weather when we went. You order at the counter but at the tables there was a QR code to order more food from your table. read more

Always impressed by southern cuisine in Portland! The mushroom gravy was recommended and fully appreciated. Egg and bacon cooked to perfection and the biscuit was hearty and soft. Service was great and prompt. We went in the morning and the place is quite open, so bring a sweater and or blanket if you plan on eating in. read more

Use to love this place, but seems like all the food is made ahead of time and the quality has gone way down. Tea taste old, I know this is weird, but if you know you know.. got the Reggie deluxe, food was cold, not enough gravy, chicken, egg all taste like they had been made for a few days. You no longer have lines down the street, make food to order!!! read more

This will be a brief review because we stopped here as part of a larger food tour so only had a biscuit with marionberry jelly. But from this limited sampling can I just say OMG!! Never heard of marionberry but the jam was rich and fruity. The biscuit was the best I've ever had at a restaurant! I highly recommend you check this place out. read more

I only found this place because I needed to kill time in the area but man I'm glad I did!! A variety of biscuit sandwiches, based on the ones we had and how hard it was to decide on one I'm betting they are all winners! I also need to shout out their house mad pop tart, it seems they rotate the flavors but they had a s'more flavored one available for us and omg it was out of this world delicious. Gooey and warm and yeah I think we'll be back soon, before they can take this particular one off the menu! Mostly bar height seating available in a really small space, expect to directly sit next to strangers. Service was really great, you order at the counter and they bring your order to you. read more

If there was be restaurant I'd recommend to a visitor that captures the local cuisine it would be Pine State Biscuits. An upgrade from the hardtack staple of early emigrants on the Oregon Trail, biscuits are the ultimate comfort food of the Pacific Northwest. Pine State does the biscuit justice. Perfect bake, crispy exterior, yet soft interior. I do wish the biscuit was a bit more flaky. Fried chicken connoisseurs should steer clear of the basic, overcooked fried chicken. Sausage gravy is a bit thick but perfectly flavored. The collard greens are quite tasty if you are looking for a something that is bit more on the healthier side. Coffee is decent. Service on the weekends is hit or miss as this place can get quite busy. Best chances for better service are on weekdays. My recommendation is sticking to eggs, veggies and/or bacon on a biscuit. This will help get the pure expression of the biscuit flavor while keeping the cost of the meal down. read more

I love love love biscuits and gravy and I'm from Louisiana so someone recommended me this place. Have to say it's a miss for me. I had the Reggie deluxe which is fried chicken, bacon, egg and cheese biscuit with sausage gravy on it. Overall I thought it was basic and bland. Not the worst sausage gravy I've had but not the best. The chicken was best part and least bland of the sandwich to me but still wasn't all that. The best part of my meal was the Arnold Palmer. I probably won't be back here. Food is not bad by any means it was all good, just isn't amazing. Very average. I kind of judge by asking "am I going to think about this later? Is it so good that I'm gonna be counting down the days until I can come back?" And for me that answer was no. But this place was cute lil casual place. Long line even on a Monday but not too long wait time wise. read more

This Bay Area foodie meets the taste of the Southeast in the Pacific Northwest of Portland at Pine State Biscuits. Most of you have had biscuits and gravy some time in your life. Sandwich that around fried chicken and bacon, topped with cheddar and you have their famous "Reggie". If you are looking for something slightly lighter or with a little kick, go for the BBQ Biscuit with Carolina style BBQ sauced pulled pork and slaw. The biscuits are so good, a 6-pack made it into my luggage to travel back to the Bay with me, two went to my friend and the other four I froze for future use. Since I personally rarely fry anything, the Reggie that I had on site with the fried chicken was out of the question. However, topping it with sausage patties, an over-medium egg, and covered with sausage gravy was my plan - https://cookwithzee.blogspot.com/2022/06/biscuit-and-sausage-gravy-moneyball-la.html With finally a free morning today, I got around to making what is apparently the Moneyball with Sausage Patty on Pine State's menu. If I closed my eyes, I literally felt like I was back on their patio eating this on their checkerboard tablecloth. This is the reason I say you can travel through food. read more

Came around 8:30am on a friday and only waited about 10 minutes to order. I ordered the reggie, a side of small hash browns, and a cider. The reggie was great and I was full by the last bite. The cider was also refreshing. There are tables inside and outside on the patio read more

Sorry for such a late review, but if you are following, I am very behind due to my 6/13/22 SF JapanTown incident, see Yelp. Another great recommendation from our Oregon BFFs. And now I believe we have one of these in Reno?!?!?! Quality/Quantity - Excellent. What great flavors. Generous portions. I can't believe we finished it all! Also good local beers; not that it would pair well with breakfast... Atmosphere - Street parking. Plenty of indoor seating. We came right before closing, so very few customers. Open 7 days a week, see picture for specific hours. Service - Read their "golden rules"; see picture. Read their "table rules"; see picture. Read their cool "bathroom" sign, what a good idea; too bad not everyone follows. Read their cool "closed" sign, see picture. Lastly, I love their "no racism" sign, see picture. Self service water station. Price - All very reasonably priced, see menu. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2006 and your 5 locations. See you soon at your Reno, NV location!! read more

I got the moneyball biscuits and sausage gravy with a sausage patty. My boyfriend got the Reggie deluxe. They both were decent nothing to rave about. The habanero sauce had more flavor than the meals. The biscuits on the Reggie were hard and over cooked. We came on a Tuesday afternoon so there were plenty of seats. read more

Reggie Deluxe. Quality and Quantity of biscuit/chicken/gravy/egg/bacon. If your mouth is not salivating by now, reread the previous sentence. Highlights: The reggie deluxe presents a warm and delicious meal to your saddened winter situation. With thanksgiving and prayer, it is a wonderful gift to your stomach and soul. The gravy provided enough sauce for the biscuit, which was not dry at all. The fried chicken and bacon were excellent counterbalance to the texture of the meal. Furthermore, the egg was a nice touch to finish it off. Potential improvements: The food was excellent, but some of the seating arrangements were not as amazing, especially the picnic style tables. There are a few bar-style seating and booths, but many picnic tables. Nonetheless, Pine state biscuits is a great establishment for your brunch desires. read more

It's perhaps a little strange to visit this place and not get biscuits, but I'm convinced that they have the some of the best shrimp and grits in the United States. Delightfully presented and each shrimp is wonderfully cooked, juicy with every bite. The grits and the savory sauce go well together, and the combination is a delight that I think everyone should try! read more

Food is great, order process is slow. We arrived around 11am and the line was out the door wrapped around the street. You wait in line, place your order, and then find your seat. We waited about 40 mins before we could order. We ordered the single pancake, Reggie deluxe, and mcisley. You bus your own table, get your own utensils and water. Our food came out about 20 mins later, so altogether it was an hour wait. Food came out delicious though! The biscuits are buttery, flaky, and with the right amount of crunch. Pancake serving was huge! Just be really patient if you visit. read more

Pine State Biscuits - Outside - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Mmmmm! I can't imagine a better breakfast option to kick off our Portland trip. We love a classic diner paired with a modern/unique take which is exactly what we got ! From the never-ending cup of coffee to the environment to the food, everything was exceptionally enjoyable ! I personally enjoyed the antique car details around the interior. Aside from the old metal tractor-esque seat stools, there were antique-style old vehicle prints as well as photographes of abandoned cars being taken over by nature. For some reason these stood out to me. We sat inside, but would have chosen to sit outside as they had a huge patio and the weather was perfect. Unfortunately for us, they were very busy and there were not seats outside. The busy-ness also caused the kitchen to back up quite a bit. Nothing the never-ending cup of coffee and good company couldn't fix though! We ordered 2 of the biscuit dishes. I went with the The McIsley (Fried chicken with pickles, mustard & Oregon Growers Wildflower honey.). Each ingredient was so flavorful - from the crunchyness of the pickles to the subtle sweetness of the honey. This dish may have changed my mind of sweet/savor choices ! We also got the Reggie deluxe and 2 pop tarts. I personally wasn't crazy about the icing on that tarts as they were too sweet imo. However, the berry spread inside was so good! Once again, the flavors of the 2 different berries were so impressive and vibrant ! read more

I haven't been to pine state biscuit in years and as always this restaurant always delivers the best brunch. The line never changes. The restaurant is always busy so get there early! Since I am vegan, the only option was the hash up. You can be creative and add in extra toppings including collard greens and vegan sausage. I used to get my hash up customized but I don't want to pay additional fees because it already comes with sautéed mushrooms. Not the healthiest breakfast. For vegetarians and meat lovers, the Reggie with a side of Cajun fries is a popular choice for folks. Very filling. My mom tried the shrimp n grits for the first time and really enjoyed the flavors. read more

Exquisite comfort food, with over the top options. We've been Pine State customers since the early days on Belmont, and it's probably the place that I crave most often, but tend to avoid just for self preservation. But it's pointless to live in Portland and not treat yourself occasionally. I have no specific recommendations - just because everything is terrific. Order whatever sounds good to you, and you won't be disappointed. A word of caution for the Division location - the infamous train tracks that cause ridiculous traffic delays are just behind the Pine State building. It is easy to find yourself trying to leave, and trapped waiting for a mega freight train to rumble its way through the neighborhood, even if you have no need to cross the tracks themselves. read more

My brother recommended this spot and I am so glad I tried it. I was a bit skeptical due to the fact that I normally do not like biscuits, however after coming here, I am a huge fan. Got to try both the sausage gravy and the mushroom gravy and would recommend either. Their chicken in the Reggie was cooked perfectly. As for service, you place your order at the cashier and then find a place to sit and they will bring food out for you. Both the cashier and server were super nice. I do regret not ordering their hash browns, which looked super delicious and crispy. read more

Pine State Biscuits - reggie deluxe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Pine State Biscuits is a Portland institution if anything -- and that being said, it's a great one. I have been to this and other locations and am always pleased with how delicious everything is. Being a leaf eater, I thoroughly appreciate that they have mushroom based gravy for the vegetarians and even vegan options for those who don't eat dairy. It's even better that these plantbased options are DELICIOUS and not just boring/bland/cardboard substitutes. The biscuits are warm, fluffy with the right amt of bite on the outside and were made to be smothered in gravy goodness. I've also had the hashbrowns which are a great addition to breakfast/brunch. Prices are fair for the product you get and also portion size is commensurate to the price as well~ There is definitely a crowd if you go in at peak hours so I'd recommend dropping by on a weekday early morning if you don't want a wait/crowd~ Parking is street parking and typically easy within a couple of blocks! read more

Pine State Biscuits - Veggie Reggie - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I have to admit that I am one of those Portlanders who has never been to Pine State. Granted, the normally long wait times and extensive queuing has always intimidated me. But, the heatwave made for minimal lines and quick service recently. We were lucky to arrive with only two groups ahead of us in the earlier morning hours on a weekend. The shaded interior corridor where the queue forms was nice, considering 100ºF temperatures were a few moments away in the sun. Once near the ordering counter, menus were abundant, and specials are laid out well for any reader. The service at the counter is swift, fun, and the staff will be able to curate your experience for you. I went with the veggie biscuit, since I had plenty of animal protein in the days leading up to dining here. The staff will also plan where you'll sit, keeping the space organized. For folks who attempt to get a table before ordering - that is not the vibe here - be patient and you will be seated. The food arrives quickly, and boy is it ever tasty. I'd recommend stocking up on your silverware, hot sauces, and water while you wait, since silverware is sure to run out a few times. Considering the healthy amount of sauce that will arrive on your biscuit, eating with a fork and a knife is inevitable during your experience, too. The menu has plenty to offer, so you should absolutely return. The restrooms are clean and easy to access. Parking is mostly easy to come by, but with great cycling and pedestrian infrastructure nearby, cycle or walk on over, too. read more

Food was amazing. Ambience leaves a little to be desired. They are still set up like it's the 2020 lock down - lots of the staff wearing masks, staff were unfriendly and hardly made eye contact, & the outdoor seating area being walled off with tarps to keep the germs out, lol. But you look past that silliness and the food was great. read more

I really wanted to like this place. I ordered a biscuit with fried chicken, fried green tomatoes, iceberg lettuce, and ranch dressing, as well as hash browns, and a mimosa. The biscuit sandwich is so large it requires a fork. When I began cutting into mine, the biscuit began to crumble and fall apart, and all of the breading on the fried Chicken came off with it. Since it just fell apart, I took the biscuit off the top, and noticed that the fried green tomatoes were literally just batter, there was no tomato left inside. I ate part of it, but it really just turned into a soft, disintegrated mess covered in ranch dressing. The hash browns were good, but the mimosa was really bad, mostly orange juice, with cheap prosecco. All of that being said, my partner and son both really liked their biscuit sandwiches, and theirs did not fall apart like mine. Customer service was good, and I liked the feel of the place, the food was just a disappointment. read more

Ordered the Reggie Deluxe and the Hash Ups! The Reggie Deluxe was a 5/5, sooo good with the shiitake mushroom gravy. The combination of items in the Hash Ups sounded appetizing - hash brown, mushrooms, caramelized onion, and cheddar. Sadly, the combination of flavors wasn't as appetizing in my mouth. Hash Ups 3/5.

You can even see them make the biscuits at the counter! Biscuits wasn't dry. I'm normally not a biscuits person but they made me like biscuits! It was also my mom's first time trying grits and she said it had an interesting texture and loved it! I'm so happy to hear that!! So soo freaking good! Highly recommend both of these dishes!

Nothing Gluten Free. Food was good for everyone else in my party. But I had to find someplace else to eat.

To avoid a long wait, we arrived soon after the 7 am opening and we were rewarded with being able to order as soon as we walked in. In order to eat inside, you must show proof of vaccination, but inside seemed noisy so we ate on the patio instead. Other things to note are: coffee (Coava reg or decaf) is self-serve and the British Breakfast or Peppermint Tea is by Smith Tea. Both brands are Portland local and worth imbibing. And PSB kindly asks you to bus your table. I can do that. Now that I've had a McIsley, I now know what all the fuss is about as the biscuits are wonderful and the fried chicken is not dry nor is it overly breaded--this is important to me. The desserts (pop tarts, pecan pie, cinnamon bun) looked good, but I had to refrain from ordering as I knew I would be full after the chicken and biscuits. The entire staff was friendly which made for a very pleasant breakfast. read more
