    Fried chicken and waffle with gravy (dont get syrup) is the best omg
    Larry C.

    I love their fried chicken and waffle with gravy. It is so delicious. Half order is enough to get a delicious taste of their best item on their menu. But everything else is very good. Friendly employees. Very casual dining. Bus your own table.

    It was an interesting concept because I think there was another restaurant next to it, but you have to buss your own tables. Get your own waters. But the fried chicken was so good like seriously I can tell that their oil is clean. You didn't feel heavy after eating it. The strawberry waffles were amazing. I got it in the morning time so it kind of felt like breakfast. The waffles themselves however, I have personally had better in Portland. not bad at all satisfied my cravings 8.5 out of 10.

    The kiddo was in the mood for a waffle and boy did we find a good one! He's pretty picky about crisp, chew and fluff and he was happy as a clam. Piles high with fresh strawberries and cream with just the right amount of Nutella!

    Strawberries at Midnight
    Irma K.

    Must try! One of our favorite places to go for breakfast when in Portland. My favorite is the Three B's (Bacon, Brie and Basil). For a sweeter side try the Strawberries at Midnight! Waffle Bot is filling if you need more to fill your tummy. Good service. You can order at the window or eat inside the restaurant if you prefer sit down especially during cold rainy days.

    Pulled Pork Waffle
    Renaldo M.

    Ordered "to-go" as a road trip meal back to CA. The staff was incredibly friendly and the food was ready very quickly. Ordered the Pulled Pork Waffle and Half Order Chicken & Waffle. Unfortunately the Pulled Pork Waffle wasn't as flavorful as I'd hoped. The meat could've used more seasoning or more punch in the blackberry sauce. You also have to eat it fast because the coleslaw in-between will make the waffle soggy. On the bright side, the Chicken & Waffle was delicious! I'm addicted to Roscoe's, and this came in 2nd. The sweet & savory flavor was spot-on. Stayed crunchy, and just the right sweetness. I'm glad I ordered both because this really saved my experience. I'll definitely return for the Chicken & Waffle and rather than the pulled pork, try a sweet waffle option.

    Amazing food and service! Seating available inside and outside. Nice, comfy breakfast spot (for any time of day). The waffles are delicious and can easily be turned into a larger meal by adding eggs, potatoes and/or bacon. I do wish they had a veggie bacon option, but otherwise a perfect experience. We will be back!

    Peanut Butter and Chocolate Waffle

    This is kind of an odd spot. You don't get to order from the waffle window itself, you have to go inside Bread and Ink Cafe. There, it feels like a covid-era throwback where the main dining room is cleared out with a makeshift ordering station set up on a folding table. Other rooms have people sitting and eating Bread & Ink's brunch. You have to stand in line with all the brunch people to place your order, which defeats the purpose of the "window" aspect. Also, the waffle was not packaged in an especially mobile way. You definitely have to sit down to eat it. I dunno, I was expecting the Waffle Window to be a walk up window where you could get an eat-on-the-go waffle. It's now just basically the waffle menu of the sit down restaurant Bread & Ink.

    Nothing has changed! Came back recently and loved everything as always. I feel like it's a good sign when a business is consistently doing everything right and that's definitely them!

    Strawberry Cheesecake Waffle
    Jenny T.

    A popular waffle spot in Portland, The Waffle Window, serves savory and sweet waffles to satisfy your cravings! There were so many options, I didn't know what to order, I knew I wanted something sweet so I asked for recommendations and I ended up ordering a strawberry cheesecake waffle. Let me tell you, it was delicious! I loved every bite of it. The waffle was crispy, the cheesecake pudding was creamy and smooth, and the whip cream topped on top was perfect!

    Bananarumba
    Shanez S.

    This place never disappoints! The service is always warm and friendly. The space is very chill, with lots of seating, both indoor and outdoor. The waffles are perfection! Crispy on the outside, and fluffy on the inside. Tons of vegetarian options, especially on the sweet side. I've tried several, but the Bananarumba keeps calling me back. Pro tip: sign up for the Waffle Club on their website to receive a free waffle around your birthday.

    Half chicken and waffle
    Karen W.

    I tried their chicken and waffles. It came with the options of gravy and syrup. I got both! The sweetness of the waffle and the savoriness of the fried chicken make this a perfect combination. I will definitely order this item again. It is highly recommended.

    Welcome to the waffle window! I was intrigued by the variety and delicious looking flavor combinations. When we arrived there was ample street parking available during the weekday - I feel like the weekend may be a busy time for them so plan accordingly. You order and pay at the front desk, they give you a buzzer and you come back up for the food. The girl working the front desk was plain not very nice during our interaction - we tipped well and were polite so maybe it was just an off day for her - we all have those days! We got the strawberry Nutella and the "three b's" which had Brie , bacon and basil. I loved the combinations of flavors, however both waffles were over cooked and for the price point the toppings were skimpy. The waffles definitely left me wanting more Brie and more Nutella as the over done nature of the waffles dried them out. For the price point at $31 (before tip) for two waffles I would hope for more topping or at least table service. Like I said above we went on a weekday and there was plenty of seating available - I am assuming prime hours are weekend brunch. I would come back and invite friends for a casual brunch spot and there were several flavors I'm excited to try in the future!

    The whole farm
    Kristina W.

    Delicious waffles and fried chicken. Got to try the whole farm with spinach, mushroom, tomatoes, and peppered bacon. Got a side of fried chicken to try too. That's a serving for two, easily. Service was fast too. Check it out if you are in the mood for a brunch

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.

This was my first time having catfish. I also am not a fan of grits, but knew that it would be to good to pass up and not give it a try. Everything on the catfish platter was splendid. I adored the biscuit and raspberry jam, might've been the best I have had! The raspberry jam was so good I asked for extra (because seriously, what was I going to do with that little bit provided lol) they end up bringing two more hehe. The biscuit was super soft, buttery and light (also coming from someone that couldn't care less about a biscuit). I also appreciate a biscuit that is NOT flaky! Hold your hate comments lmao! I had this amazing food before going to a wine tasting and let me just say this was the perfect choice before an event as such afterwards. Honorable mention, the chicken and waffles waffle is made with sweet potato. YEAH? It is as good as it sounds!! I think the videos on TikTok on this place, did not do it justice at all.

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.

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.

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.
