Diner bar top.

To be honest. This was a last minute choice because Tin Shed had an hour wait. But grateful we came here instead. It's a Friday morning and we just picked up my brother in-law from the airport. Now looking for some good breakfast. We've been her before and it was good, but today was better. No wait to get in and the vibe here is cool, retro, and friendly. Our food came out quickly and so good. I got the Hash. Filled with veggies and I added eggs. The sauce really made this dish. The fried potatoes were cooked to crispy perfection. You could share this if you add another side of eggs. We were finished eating before we ever would have been sat at the Shed. Plus they have a full bar and there is outside seating as well. I've been here on busy days and the service can get a bit slow. But on a day like today, best choice ever. Thank you Radio Room.

Immaculate vibes. You walk in and feel transported in time. Not to mention the drinks were amazing and the BLT was unreal. Thick cut bacon, garlic aioli, Texas toast- YUM.

We had a good experience at Radio Room. From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm and welcoming. The service was smooth and efficient--our server was knowledgeable about the menu and offered helpful recommendations. The food took a while to come out and everything looked great. Everything was good for the most part, but the shrimp in the shrimp in grits didn't taste fresh. The Mac and cheese was bland so our friend ordered a side of tomato soup to dump into it to give it some flavor. The ambiance was relaxed yet stylish for an old school vibe. There was a live DJ spinning vinyl records which was pretty cool. Our server was nice and when she noticed the shrimp wasn't touched on the shrimp and grits, she asked if everything was okay. We informed her it tasted old and she apologized and offered to take half price off the bill, which was really kind of her to do! Will definitely come back and try other menu times.

BLT

We went to the radio room as a celebration. And it truly was a celebratory thing between the fun drinks, loud music, and the passive amount of garlic on just about everything we ordered. It was very fun. The service was quick even though they were busy and although they gave us the wrong side to go with the BLT, which was delicious they very quickly came out with the correct side without any trouble. Completely fun atmosphere and for the BLT alone, I will totally be back.

The egg Benedict - not good. The scramble sandwich- I had to drench it in hot sauce. The potato had good crunch and no flavor. Salt, pepper, and ketchup, nothing helped :( THE VIBES THO!!! 10/10 I would just go back cause it's cool inside. Maybe the cocktails are better but the food is icky. Service was okay. Nothing special.

I came here with my family today, we just got drinks and happy hour foods. Honestly very glad we only got happy hour foods since they were cheaper, because had any of the food we tried been full price, it would've been an even greater disappointment. I got the chicken sandwich, bread was horrible, chicken overly salty and just tasted bad. Didn't even eat half of it, left it on the plate. Chicken wings took forever to come out which is understandable but they were so crispy, borderline burnt even, tough to chew. The birria tacos aside from the tiny portion size, not a great taste, the consome was super bland and runny, the tacos with the pineapple salsa just taste strange. The service was alright, the server was nice and all, it was impressive she took all our orders and remembered who got what, and didn't need to write any of it down. However, she just didn't check on us enough, never asked how the food even was (I would've been honest about it) and just overall the service was so-so. The saving grace here is the drinks, just based on assumption because I personally didn't try any of them. They have a good happy hour for the drinks, I believe starting at $9 for a decent selection. In saying all that I definitely wouldn't return here, the food was just overall not worth it, even at happy hour prices. Probably just stick to drinks here for happy hour if you're interested, but just know there are other places with better food out there.

Found this place and so glad we walked in! Like stepping back into the 1950s. Adorable ambience. Great service. We did not have time to stay for a bite to eat, but their menu looked amazing. We ordered drinks which were truly wonderful. A drink called the Nordic Negroni. It was really wonderful, made with aquavit. If you like licorice, this is the drink for you. Parking on a weekend nights on Alberta Street is always a bit chancy. Give yourself extra time to find off street parking.

Radio Room -- Portland, OR Every now and then The Açaí Guy must step away from the bowl and investigate... other forms of nourishment. Enter Radio Room. First impression walking in: imagine an old-school diner and a Portland hipster café had a baby. That's the vibe. Retro bar, warm lighting, cool crowd, and the kind of place where you could either grab a quick bite or accidentally stay for three hours. Now here's the weird part. The prices. I checked the menu twice. Then I checked it again. Because everything felt... suspiciously cheap. In a good way. Like you've discovered a pricing loophole that the rest of Portland hasn't noticed yet. Menu is refreshingly simple too. One page. No 17-section manifesto about locally sourced radishes. Just food. Ordered the Chicken Parm Sandwich and a margarita. The sandwich? Ridiculous. Tender chicken, perfectly sauced, soft bread holding everything together like a true team captain. This thing was a full meal disguised as a sandwich. Easily one of the better chicken parms I've run into. The margarita? Dangerous. Way too easy to drink. The kind where you casually order another before realizing you might need a bowl tomorrow to restore balance. Sat at the bar and the service was excellent -- smiles, conversation, and good recommendations. Always a good sign when the staff actually seem like they enjoy the place too. Would I come back? Absolutely. Rating 4.4 / 5 Açaí Berries Breakdown * Taste: 4.5/5 * Value: 5/5 (seriously... check the prices) * Vibes: 4.6/5 * Service: 5/5 * Margarita Danger Level: High Current Status: Portland Hidden Gem Lesson Learned: Sometimes the best bowls... are sandwiches. Recovery Plan: Açaí tomorrow. -- The Açaí Guy

Classic Breakfast was on point
Terrance S.

Definitely a great place for food and beverages. Would give it 5 stars, but they only had beef and pork options. More restaurants need to offer turkey or chicken for breakfast for more healthy fare. However, everything from the French toast, to burger, to classic breakfast was on point. Great location, great staff, great patio, and welcoming ambiance. Don't miss this neighborhood gem.

Happy hour zucchini fritters

I had some kind of negative impression of this restaurant and bar for apparently no reason whatsoever because my recent visit made me fall in love! The restaurant area is diner-like and the bar feels a little dark and divey, but in all the right ways. I'll be back for the vibes. My spouse and I popped in for a quick pre-dinner drink. I feel like getting small plates and a bevy or two isn't always appreciated by servers, but the staff was welcoming and attentive. The snack we got was delicious and I would order it again anytime. Full bar with a soda gun is so appreciated when I have a hard time finding no-sugar + non-alcohol beverages in so many establishments. I look forward to accepting my friends' invitations to come here from now on!

Love the atmosphere here, it has such a cozy 70s retro vibe! It was my first time here, and I ordered the Eggs Benedict with potatoes and a glass of orange juice. The portion size was perfect, and the Eggs Benedict was cooked beautifully o.o The tomato paired perfectly with the runny yolk and their delicious sauce. The potatoes were flavorful with just the right amount of crunch. Service was fast and attentive. I'll definitely be coming back to try more from the menu!

This place is a gem. The vibes here are amazing. The place is so cool and quirky and kind of made me smile the whole time I was there. There are a couple of bar counters, lots of cool seating with retro tables and booths and an outside space with heaters and small fire pits. So good! I had a few happy hour cocktails and a huge basket of the most delicious French fries! I didn't have anything else but my sense is it would be good. This is a great place. I wish I could transport it to Philly.

Chickpea fritters. Really liked these
Bianca J.

I always have a great food and drink experience here. I love that they have happy hour daily, an outdoor seating area and a rooftop! Their appetizers here have always been good (I've never had an actual dinner or meal here) and their drinks even more phenomenal. Never gah a bad drink here! They have great options for happy hour too! I tried the birria tacos as they seem to be a newer item on the menu and I liked them, but definitely could use a bit more spice and flavor in the meat. Sadly, my friend had a taco that was ALL FAT and thankfully I saw it so she could remove it. Kind of gross lol But other than that, great experience!

Five dishes for 2 of us was more than enough +2 dessert +2 drinks…read more The wasabi salad was good. Perfect dressing for my husband too much dressing for me. I really like the scallops. Not a fan of the jalapeño grits because the heat built up and I would like to have some bread to help cut the heat. Our absolute favorite was udon dish. Another dish where I wish I had bread too scoop up all the sauce. The Tonkasu sandwiches were way better than the place at Bridgeport. The beef check melted in our mouth - another dish. I wish I had rice with. Moral of the story, need carbs to make the meal better Beautiful ambience. Amazing service. We dropped the chopstick and they got us a new one before we asked. Was surprised they didn't give us new plates unless asked because mine was covered in all the different sauces and I didn't wanna mix the wasabi dressing with other dishes.

Food: 4/5 Service 3/5…read moreAmbiance: 5/5 This is a very cute spot for a nice girls dinner or date night. I brought my kid and it was ok but probably won't recommend it. I liked everything off the raw menu besides the mushroom handroll because the salt level was at about 300%. My fave was probably the yellowtail crudo. The raw stuff came out fairly quickly then we waited a very long time for the cooked entrees to come out. There was at least a 20 minute hiatus, which I did not appreciate. The server checked on us a couple times during the wait but it's just kind of awkward when the wait is that long. I was really looking forward to the duck duck rice because pictures on Yelp made it look like a crispy rice, if it was in fact, not. The udon was our absolute favorite. The snapper was also delicious but it came very late. The alcatra was just ok, I actually couldn't take much of the tomato flavor in it.

Southern BBQ meets Thai food - who would have thought this would be a winning combo!…read more Enjoyed dinner here while visiting from out of town. Thai is my favorite food and it's hard for me to find a place truly deserving of 5 stars. But Eem deserves all 5. We were given a complimentary Field Greens Salad that was a misorder from a different table. It was delicious - fresh and tangy. We ordered family style to try different dishes. My favorite was the White Curry with Brisket Burnt-ends. The brisket melted in your mouth, and blended well with the white curry. The Sweet and Sour Fried Chicken was incredible. Crispy outside, tender on the inside, and amazing flavor. My only qualm is the pieces are on the larger side, but they don't provide a knife. But that didn't stop me! The Thai tea was lightly sweetened, and came with cute umbrellas. I am still thinking about this meal 4 days later, and looking forward to coming again when I'm in Portland next. The demand for this place is great! We got there for an early dinner at 4 PM, with little to no wait. But by 5 PM the wait was over an hour long, so plan accordingly! Inside space was clean, well decorated, and table spaced nicely so you didn't feel too crammed next to other parties.

Eem absolutely lived up to the hype! So many people recommended it, and while we hadn't originally…read moreplanned to go, I'm so glad we made it happen. We weren't sure we'd get a table, but arriving around 5 p.m. worked out perfectly--we snagged a patio table for three and enjoyed the beautiful weather. We ordered a salad, the white curry with burnt ends, mushroom fried rice, and sweet-and-sour chicken, and everything was amazing! The cocktails and mocktails were delicious, too, and came in such fun, playful glasses that made the experience even more memorable. This was such a fun dinner and a spot I'd highly recommend. The surrounding neighborhood is also really cute, with places to grab ice cream or another treat afterward. Definitely worth making room for on your Portland itinerary!
