I love the cheesy, old-school vibe of this place. Very eclectic selection of food, beer, and cocktails. A great place to meet up with friends, and food is served till pretty late into the night. (for Portland, that is) Friendly staff too! read more

The server with the wine glass tattoo on there arm. Oh my gosh.... Horrible service. We had to wait a long time to get menu, the food was awesome. But the server messed up our order. When after we were all done I had to leave my table to get our server to give us a box and the check. On top of that she had an attitude. I really like the food. My family and I have been coming there for about a year. It's a great place with awesome food. I hope they do something about that "rotten egg" read more

I had a fantastic brunch date with my mom here when I was visiting. We enjoyed everything that was put on our plates. On this day we shared and order 1 chilaquiles and 1 Banana Foster French Toast. Both were equally delicious. French toast was sweet but not overly sweet. The Chilaquiles was so good came with a green salsa and wasn't too spicy. Next I had a fabulous cocktail The Golden Mylk!!! Yessss, So many flavors going on. Devine. Until next time. Service was a 10 as well. read more

Retro '70's vibe. Cool music, throwback video playing next to the bar....outdoor seating with an upstairs outdoor lounge...dog friendly; host is friendly.

We made an early-evening reservation for a large party, including some children, and Radio Room was extremely kind with our need to make a couple of changes in the number of people that we had in our party. Our table was ready when we arrived and it was just perfect for our needs. The servers were extremely gracious and the food was delicious. Everyone in our party had a wonderful time, and those who were new to Radio Room said they would certainly be back. One of our very favorite restaurants in Portland! read more

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. read more

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.

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. read more

First time here. Service was great, place was busy and they seem short handed but everyone was smiling and helping. The good was amazing. Had the bacon Benedict, the house potatoes seasoning is delicious and my poached eggs were cook to perfection. Oh and the sauce had just the right amount of kick. read more

Radio Room - Bacon Benedict - New American Near Me - Portland, Oregon

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Radio Room on Alberta Street has quickly become one of my favorite spots in Portland. The atmosphere is warm, fun, and uniquely Portland in the best way. Whether you are there for brunch, dinner, or cocktails, the vibe is always welcoming and relaxed. The food is consistently delicious and thoughtfully prepared. Every dish I have tried has been packed with flavor and clearly made with care. Their cocktails are equally impressive, creative, balanced, and absolutely worth the trip on their own. The service is another highlight. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely seems to enjoy creating a great experience for every table. It is the kind of place where you feel taken care of, whether it is your first visit or your fifteenth. If you are looking for a spot with great food, great drinks, and great energy, Radio Room is an absolute must. I cannot recommend it enough. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Interesting location. I felt like I was in a residential neighborhood. Parking wasn't easy to find but we got lucky as someone was pulling out of a spot around the corner. The restaurant itself had great curb appeal, nice patio and fun indoor decor! Our server was attentive and efficient. My espresso martini was delicious and I ordered the Shamble Sandwich and was pleased with my choice. The home fries weren't my favorite so next time I would order fries but the flavor of the sandwich impressed me. Certainly something I would order again. Thank you for the great first impression, Radio Room! read more

The food was fantastic and drinks were great. It's a funky place where there is always something to look at. Our waitress was sweet she was just a little busy and forgot to bring enough cutlery for the table, not a huge deal.

Wow, this place has it all. I highly recommend the Birria Tacos, the Deviled Eggs, and the chicken parm sandwich. But not only is the food so delicious, it's the vibe that keeps me coming back. The people here really love it there, and you can tell. Every time I show up the staff is cracking up, and so friendly to me. I feel like I'm genuinely friends with them. I've had some of the most fun nights of my life here. Every time I walk in here I feel like I make a new friend, or have an incredible conversation. All while listening to vibey music, and delicious food and drinks. (Seriously the music here will blow your mind, you'll hear songs you never knew existed and then find yourself listening to it in the shower all week). Cheers to Radio Room for exceptional vibes, food, and people. read more

Stopped in here on a Friday night around 8pm. It was pretty busy. We sat on the heated, covered rooftop which was really nice. They have a good selection of drinks and an ok food menu. The service was a little slow, especially for our drinks. I had a blt-rex with fries. The bread is incredibly thick and the garlic aioli was so strong with garlic it was really the only flavor coming through. I also had the deviled eggs which were absolutely incredible! read more

This review is only for the happy hour. Love the ambience and feel of this place. Cool retro art and retro items on the walls. Great happy hour choices.

Staff was nice and attentive too. read more

Perfect day for a rooftop. It's a nice location with cool vibes and pretty spacious layout. Fun place to go with friends. We got an old fashioned (mezcal) and the matcha martini. The old fashioned was ok but tasted too syrupy. The matcha martini was good for a couple sips but way too sweet and creamy, towards the end it tasted like melted ice cream. I just wanted to try something different! I will probably come again for another sunny weekend with friends. read more

Yeah this place is great. We sat rooftop on the first sunny day Portland has seen in awhile. I had the eggs Benny and a signature Bloody Mary. The eggs were great- no complaints. The Bloody Mary was strong(!) and spicy- just how I like it. Tip defaulted to 25, 30 and 35%? Which seemed a little crazy even though the service was great...that seems...steep. Will go again. read more

Brought the gang in for a late lunch, everyone was satisfied and full when we left. Love the outdoor space for seating, it was a little too cold inside for my taste. Our server was kind, and attentive. Parked down the block not far at all. I must say it's kind of absurd that at 2:30 we couldn't order carrot cake because it's not served until 3pm... seriously? Happy to spend money getting dessert elsewhere with more options. read more

Radio Room - Grits shrimp poached eggs (I got it without the chorizo) I can't remember the name Delicious - New American Near Me - Portland, Oregon

An alright breakfast spot on a Sunday morning. It wasn't busy yet around 10am so my party of three was able to sit right away and seat ourselves. The vibes are definitely different since it still feels like a late night feel in the early morning. Black Market Hash was good but not as filling as I hoped. Potatoes were crunchy and I'm sure the eggs would've tied it all well together, but paying an extra $4.5 just for two eggs is crazy. I know egg prices are still rough, but damn. Service was incredibly spotty as it got busier. Our waiter was certainly hustling as it got busier. It was tough to get his attention even when we wanted to order and even pay, I'm sure we were sitting looking for him or trying to make eye contact to get him to come over for a good 10-12 minutes at the end. By the time we left, there was a long line for brunch. read more

Really good vibes and I can see why it's a popular brunch spot in the Alberta area. It has a unique space where you can be in the retro room with a fireplace, the back dining area, or even upstairs enjoying the sun. The menu has a blend of classic brunch items, mexican items, and even southern items. So you can really get a mix depending what you're craving. I would recommend the shrimp & grits and the chilaquiles were OK with the chorizo but this batch slightly burned the tortilla chips so just something to be aware of. I would pass on the fries since they're not the crispiest but it is a good item to share if you wanted to get it for the table. It is a large space but service here was attentive and always quick to refill drinks and get our checks. Just be mindful to come earlier to make a reservation because you could wait especially on a weekend. read more

My first date in Portland took me here. It can be a little loud at times so proceed with caution. Overall the aesthetic is great. I love the way the whole place looks.

It wasn't the best but definitely wasn't the worst. The fries were on point. Overall I would come back again read more

I forgot to take photos of our food but everything we got was sooooo good! I got the chorizo chilaquiles... 10/10!!! The portion size was huge and the flavor of the chorizo mixed with the green salsa and crunchy tortillas... wow! My partner had a bacon cheeseburger burger with fries. Burger did not disappoint and the fries were delicious! I cannot remember the actual names of our drinks but it was one of the only margarita and Paloma options on the menu. The theme of this restaurant was so cute! We sat in the back corner next to a real fire place.. it felt so cozy. Service was fast! 10/10 overall! Highly recommend! read more

In the last month I've been to Atlanta, Hilton Head and Portland for travel. In staying across the street, at the Cascada, this place caught my attention. Great energy and options for all individuals/space of minds. There's a rooftop, out door seating, a boozie bar or a more traditional dinner side. I sat at the bar as I have a lot of peopling in my future due to an event. I felt comfortable alone and very welcomed. Service was great. Every bite I tried was delicious and well balanced. They had the best expresso martini. This especially says something as I'm nurospicey and have been on a hyper fixation lately to find the very best. read more
