    Chicken biscuit with honey butter.
    Chastain S.

    Great menu - you can customize your Sammy as I did in this photo. Get the honey butter it's the best dipping sauce for the biscuit! My only regret is not getting the gravy too.

    Fried Green Tomatoes

    Amazing service! We went on a weekday morning so it was easy to find a spot to sit. We tried the biscuits and gravy and the Reggie Deluxe. The biscuits are THICK and the sausage gravy was by far the single best thing we ate. You could literally put it on any of their items and it would be delicious. Fried green tomatoes were good, as was the pop tart, but the meals are so filling, you really don't need the extras. Would definitely go back!

    Great biscuits and gravy. Also had eggs, hash browns and a single blueberry pancake. Pancake was probably the best part. The 2 eggs and the hash browns are both $5 but the menu frames it in such a way where you think it's $5 for 2 eggs AND hash browns. The very nice staff behind the counter explained this to me (and like 5 other groups of people from what I could overhear). It's very small inside with mostly communal seating. They have a full bar from what I can tell. There's also another restaurant inside that serves Hawaiian food but it wasn't open yet when we were there for breakfast.

    SO GOOD. First stop when we got into Portland this morning. I got a Bloody Mary and biscuits and gravy, it was incredible. It's pretty self serve in terms of sitting and bussing, but we didn't mind, it wasn't too packed. No problems getting a seat by the time we ordered. We loved it here!

    Biscuit with House Made Sausage Gravy

    We wanted a simple warm breakfast and coffee and Pine State is the best for a homely meal in Portland! This location has small seating but it's not too busy at opening time. We came on a Sunday at 9AM and it was medium full of guests. We parked on the street that said two hour parking. After ordering we got a number and sat down reading the hilarious Portland Mercury newspaper found at the door and self-served a mug of Covea coffee. The soft fresh biscuits arrived with a delicious gravy sauce that was heavenly! The Reggie sandwich with fried chicken and eggs was so filling we left stuffed! It's always a good yummy meal at Pine State. Food: - Biscuit and Gravy (House Made Sausage Gravy) - The Reggie sandwich - very filling - A La carte biscuit with apple butter gives memories of fall and orange red leaves - Coffee from a local brewery

    Biscuit Beignets
    Elaine W.

    This was our first stop on our drive down from Seattle to the Bay Area! Great breakfast, really enjoyed the biscuit & gravy with fried chicken as well as the biscuit beignets. The gravy was not savory enough for me but the biscuit itself was really good so I ordered a plain biscuit separately and that was delicious, with a nice bite on the crust and a great soft inside. The flavor was also well-balanced, not too buttery or salty like some other biscuits I've had. Will definitely stop by on the way up to try their sandwiches and see the biscuits showcased that way as well! The biscuit beignets were super unique and I really liked the powder sugar ones (although both were great). I also normally don't like butterscotch but the butterscotch/caramel dip went pretty well with the beignets. Would definitely recommend trying these if you're nearby!

    By far one of my favorite spots for biscuits and gravy. Every time I try biscuits and gravy somewhere else, I catch myself comparing it to Pine State. Their mushroom gravy is incredibly flavorful, rich, savory, and perfectly seasoned. I could pour it over just about anything and be happy. Nothing else really hits the same way. Usually when I come for breakfast, there's a huge line out the door. Luckily, I started my morning late on Sunday and showed up about an hour before closing, no line at all, and we got our food pretty quickly. Service was fast and friendly, which made the whole experience even better.

    Fried Mac & Cheese
    Grace H.

    DELICIOUS!!! Placed an online order and the overall process was nice and smooth. Everything came as ordered as well. I got the Reggie with Nashville hot chicken and it was a 10/10. Not too try and the spice level was perfect for me. The portion is good and the chicken was nice and big too. I also got the fried Mac & cheese which was heavenly - definitely day dreaming about it. My fiance loved his Reggie as well with extra Texas Pete on the side. Overall, highly recommend and I can see the hype!

    Wanted to go here for a very long time. I've heard about it as being a Portland staple and I just had never got around to going there. It was different then I imagined. Not in a bad way, just different. I didn't expect it to be counter service (meaning you order at the counter) and I didn't expect it ti be a seat yourself place. I also heard wait times were bad for seating and getting your food but we ordered, found a seat and got our food rather quickly. Service was great, friendly and prompt. I got the Reggie Deluxe. The gravy was amazing (I got the mushroom one) and so was the biscuit (Soft buttery and delicious) the cheese and bacon also complimented it all. The chicken in the sandwich was fine. It was a little dry but not terrible. Everything else made up for it. My kid got a biscuit two eggs and a snickerdoodle. Unfortunately he did not like his food much. He ate about half the biscuit a bite of eggs and a bite of the cookie. He thought the cookie was flavorless. I tried it, I thought it was okay not great. Overall I thought it was really good. I definitely would come back, probably would get the biscuits and gravy. With that said I probably would not bring my son again. This place isn't ultra kid friendly if your kid is remotely picky, just meaning there is no kid menu and I kind of had to piece together what he might like. It's more of the kind of spot you meet a friend or date for breakfast or brunch. The area is also kind of small so I you might plan to sit outside or just get your food to go especially if you have 3 or more people in your party.

    I LOVE a good biscuit and they can be harder to find than you might think - unless you live near a Pine State location that is! On my last trip to Portland I tried one of their crazy stacked biscuit sandwiches which was good, but nothing beats their biscuits and gravy except maybe adding a fried egg on top. When I tell you I INHALED the whole thing at like 9 in the morning and was full all day! I also lucked out and got the last of their freshly made seasonal poptarts which made for a nice treat when I was finally hungry again. Can't recommend this place enough!

    Pine State Biscuits (located on Schulyer,) was the perfect way to start the day with three very hungry toddlers. This location offers limited seating for large groups, but perfect for small parties. The ability to order ahead online is greatly appreciated, the customer service was awesome. The biscuits are truly FANTASTIC! My husband and I really enjoyed sharing a mimosa, BIG thanks to the team for even having it as a to go option! Oh and the grits! This southern girl is very impressed, they were excellent! If you're visiting the Portland area, and want a great breakfast be sure to add any of the Pine State Biscuit locations to your itinerary; I highly recommend!

    This place was super yummy! Chicken is perfectly crispy yet still juicy, I'd def come back again.

The chicken liver mousse was a good consistency, paired with the figs gave a nice balance between sweet and savory. The steak frites was a classic, steak was a good portion and cooked medium rare, but I'm sure if you wanted it more cooked through, you could make that request. The fries were definitely a standout, great texture and the garlic flavor gave a good contrast to the steak. My favorite dish was the dessert, the flaky crust gave a nice texture to the cream insides. I'm a huge passionfruit fan, so once I saw it was on the menu, I knew I had to try it. It didn't disappoint and I would definitely come back just for this dish alone. Overall a solid experience and would recommend people to try Canard out at least once!

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.

The salmon benedict, although highly recommended by the waitress, was extremely fishy, even though the "hollandaise sauce" (which had no depth of flavor, and was just thick) covered the entirety of the egg, salmon, and english muffin. It came with cheesy hash browns which again had no depth of flavor. Cheese makes anything tasty but it was just too much. The service, while friendly, was not attentive. We were unsure who our server was and I had to flag down the server for the bill and then to take my card 10 minutes later.
