Love this place! Just a tiny hole in the wall hosting outstanding musicians Where else can you sit on the floor on an Oriental rug, six feet from the stage? Never heard of any of these bands but they are immensely passionate and talented. Love their music! Even better to experience it in such an intimate venue surrounded by music lovers in real life. Will definitely keep this place on my radar. This is living. F*#&$ living behind screens! read more

I visited Turn, Turn, Turn in the evening for a friend's band. It is not a big space, it has a functional bar, some food I did not try, some records, posters for upcoming events. They have a consistent reputation for booking small musicians. The bar staff and door staff were responsive to me. I had conversations with new friends. Turn, Turn, Turn is a small space and community where you can join a clubhouse of Portland culture at a very reasonable price. Your night clubhouse will be small band friends, neighbors, next culture seekers, and you, if you like. read more

I really like to support local establishments, but Turn! Turn! Turn! makes it tough to do so. While this establishment wasn't at all to my liking, I'm sure that many will find it quaint, charming, and quite to their liking. To me, though, it just misses the mark. First off, the front entrance door has a very big sign stating that it is ONLY to be used by the bands, and that customers must use the side door. It took a bit to find the side door, because there is NOTHING on it indicating the name of the business. There's no window, no store hours, nothing to confirm that one has found the customer entrance. This is VERY uninviting, and seems to relegate customers to being second-class citizens right from the start. The interior is dark, and seating is universally uncomfortable. One side of the tables' seats is a basically a long wooden backless bench that serves as basically a stoop under the windows, and if you lean back, your back would be against the window. The other side have chairs with their backs to the stage. So, seating is TERRIBLE if you want to see a band perform. You'll also see old vinyl records for sale, which seems quirky for the sake of being quirky. The service was a mixed bag. The employee to helped me was helpful, kind, and friendly. The other employee, and it really pains me to have to say this, literally reeked of BO. This is NOT what I want if I'm having food or a drink, and I was happy that he stayed behind the bar, and that my seat was far enough away that I didn't have to smell him that frequently. The food menu is tiny, and focuses on being vegetarian. I opted for a rice / bean bowl with Jalapenos and meatballs (as an add-on). The beans and rice were cooked perfectly, and the dish thoughtfully had tortilla chips which made for a nice textural contrast. The meatballs were not good, though, tasting as though they hung around in the refrigerator for longer than they should have. The sound was kept at a comfortable level for the performance, which was nice, but I left very early because the establishment just wasn't a comfortable place to be. read more

A great little stop for anyone on the move. And important thing to know is that Turn Turn Turn is actually bin a shared space. The morning belongs to a coffee shop and the afternoon is to the bar. Turn is located right off a bicycle superhighway, which is actually how I discovered it (right on North Williams) and as it is at a stoplight, you can't help but be curious what is inside. The interior is small and cozy and quite welcoming in a very Portland way. A small selection of curated beers greets you as you enter along with a brief but effective menu to pad your stomach into your next drink. As the evening moves in, music of various types (dj etc...) Will be your entertaining options and in the lead up, an eclectic selection of music is playing for you and your friends to enjoy. Although small, there is some seating outside which honestly doesn't get as loud as you would think. I can say that you see a lot of places like this on the East side, but this one has the best melding of price, location and menu. Absolutely well worth your time. read more

I rolled in 12 minutes before closing, hoping to grab a sandwich to go, as I was in the last 1/4 of my road trip from San Francisco to Seattle. My care taker was friendly and agreed to fire up the hot press to make a Friday's Child, hot sandwich for me to take with me. They usually shut down food an hour or so before closing, but she didn't want me to go on hungry. It looks like I may have missed the night's live music. If it were earlier, I would have loved to hang out at this music-bar. It harkins back to the ... 70s, with actual turntables spinning vinyl records. Definitely "retro". They have old albums and clothes for sale. There were conventional hipsters hanging out, but the retro atmosphere reminds me that hipsters are the retro-hippies, and looked quite at home here. The pressed sandwich was very good. It had a nice crispy crunch followed by a nice mix of flavors (cheese, tangy peppers, pesto, etc). It also came with some crunchy potato chips and a homemade slaw. It hit the spot, the first food since breakfast, at 11pm. Now, only three more hours on the road. read more

We went with our 20-something kid to see a show here. It was exactly what we had heard. A cute thrift shop with a simple sandwich and snack menu and a basic bar. The show sold out by 10:00 or so, so some of kid's friends had to wait to get in. We had neglected to get cash for the cover before we got there, so we had a few blocks of walking to find the nearest ATM. The bar does take credit cards, but it'll move faster if you have cash for them too. Space is a little tight when sold out. Plenty of elbow room at the back but not enough space for the crowd to sit or get to the bar and visibility is restricted once you get a few rows back. Bar is full (beer and liquor) but pretty basic- no fancy cocktails. The super friendly folks working the bar were a little overwhelmed by a big crowd, so drinks aren't necessarily quick. But decent prices on everything. Crowd was totally the 20-something Portland set that I expected, all friendly and a little amused at the presence of parents in the room. read more

Turn! Turn! Turn! is good stuff! The owner is super nice and it was a blast to watch the Trail Blazers there. The owner had a raffle going during the game and my lady and I scored a free beer and some chips and salsa! It was a thoughtful, fun little gesture that made the games even that much more exciting. I'm not that big into records but it seems like a pretty awesome selection. I do love the clothing rack, and last night I had an impromptu shirt shopping trip with a stranger while we waited in the bathroom line. I got really tempted to buy a $3 shirt (at the urging of my new friend) but decided against it at the last minute. One of the best things about Turn is their constantly rotating selection of beers. You won't find the same old beers, and there is a great variety too. The wine shrub is awesome too. Turn is definitely a welcome addition to my hood! read more

They had a large selection of beers. The food was okay, but all the choices were vegetarian or vegan. We are neither... So we had hummus... Safe bet, and yes it was good. Even with some weird pickled peppers... Odd in my mind, but tried it anyway and it... wasn't bad. They offered these pickled peppers with most of their choices. They were spicy but not too hot. But, mind you, I'm a wuss when it comes to HOT food! We went as a spur of the moment based on the fact I'd driven by a few times. They had live music that night. When we first walked in there was a band playing their last song. They ended as we were ordering our drinks. Then came the fun part. There was a man there, 45ish... playing some weird mix-music... Basically scratching CD's/discs so that they sounded like a VERY LOUD dialup/fax tone. It was terrible! Luckily you CAN take your beer outside, so we did. We could still hear the tune, though at a much lessen pitch. Oh boy, I can still hear that screech and it was just dreadful! Not his music per say, but the tone itself. We came back in once he finished and another couple guys got up with their guitars. Turns out on of their friends was in the audience celebrating a birthday so that made for a fun time! After a couple drinks and our dip we made like babies and headed out! ;) Oh and they sell records. If you're into that they seemed to have quite the selection - maybe 100 or so discs... Maybe more. The album covers lined the walls. The lighting was low. The feeling of the room was good. The crowd seemed like couples or groups. Nice place to sit and chat or just hang out on the couch with a brewski. We may return seeing as they offer live music... read more

This place could hardly be more perfect. Loved the beer selection and knowledgeable barkeep. Bought an amazing Pat Boone LP and a terrific coat for my wife that was like new. Pint #2 was spent chilling with some vintage rock mags while the Blazers went into OT on the pull-down screen. The friendly staff and more-comfortable-than-your-living-room ambience made it very hard to leave. Returned the next night and was treated to some highly original live music. Sampled the food (tasty) and confirmed my suspicion that indeed EVERY beer on the menu was of the highest caliber. Turn! Turn! Turn! has very quickly become a mandatory stopover whenever I'm in Portland on business, and those who call it local are very fortunate indeed. I don't know who else does all of these things so right, or even tries. A legend in the making, I'm convinced. read more

The salsa was Hot Mama Salsa brand produced by a local woman. I love spice, the hotter the better. This salsa was Medium and it had a great kick to it. Nice job!

We grabbed a table, got our menus, and I immediately noticed the Community Meal option-where anyone can come in and get a meal, no questions asked, free of cost. Our server overheard us talking about it and was ready to offer it with complete respect. We were the only ones in this restaurant and they were okay with providing meals for free if we needed them. That alone speaks volumes about the kind of place this is. When ordering, we learned they don't even have a freezer everything is fresh and locally sourced. Big win. One of us ordered the French toast, and wow... I wish I had too. It was beautiful, topped with nuts for the perfect crunch, and made with brioche bread. PHENOMENAL. I had a bite (and got the leftovers), and it was just as amazing cold. I ordered the chorizo breakfast sandwich with a side of tots, and even the quality of the oil they fry with must be top-notch because those tots had the perfect crispy outside with soft, fluffy insides. My friend ordered the huevos rancheros, which I barely saw before he devoured it and immediately went into a happy food coma. We also had biscuits and gravy--slightly sweeter than usual, but still delicious. I'll absolutely be bringing friends here for future breakfast dates. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and come try their food!

I was given a pick up time and then a text that said my order was ready. When I presented to the pickup window I was told it wasn't ready yet. Same thing was told to another customer. There were several orders packaged and waiting to the side. I waited another 15 minutes or so. When I asked again, they grabbed one of the packages that had been prepped and waiting since I arrived. Same thing happened with the other customer. Meanwhile, there were other people who were walking up and walking off with their orders without waiting. I'd give a 1 star, but I did enjoy my wings and fries after I got home and reheated them. Overall, maybe it should be a lower rating?

Would definitely rate this a strong 3.5/5 if that was possible!…read more The jojos were the star of the show for me (go figure) personally -- and the ranch was the star of the jojo show. I had a Spicy Vegetarian Burger and it was pretty good, next time I would probably try the Classic version. The pickles and sauce were good and the impossible patty was great. My sister thought her classic burger was solid, but she would have liked a little more sauce. Keep in mind that she likes a lottt of sauce. The bun was a little too big for her burger patty too, but overall it was tasty and all the flavors complemented each other. Ambiance-wise there was nice decor and plenty of seating options! The blinds kept out a lot of natural light but we were able to lift them a bit so it wasn't a problem! You clear your own plates and order when you arrive after you have looked over the menu so service doesn't feel super applicable but everyone was friendly and welcoming.

While they weren't as crispy as I would've wanted - I would say while some parts were, most of it was on the softer side - I did think that they were seasoned excellently. They also paired quite well with the mayo-based sauces we received. Moving onto the burger, I really enjoyed this. When I've had tofu on a burger in the past - it's usually been in smaller pieces - so getting such a massive piece that sticks out on either end of the burger was really nice. In addition, the breading was good - while not super-present. I quite liked the fact that it was very lightly breaded - meaning the huge patty was like 95% tofu - leaving the tofu to stand on its own as the majority of the bite. The buns were alright - I'm not big into vegan buns - but I didn't mind these The mustard sauce was also pretty good I will say, although I did order the Mr. Onion burger so I should've known what I was getting myself into, but there were just way too many onions on this burger. It was to the point where they absolutely dominated the taste of my first bite. I had to remove a lot of them from the bottom of the burger to actually make this edible. For the price, it is a bit expensive - but it's also quite filling so I didn't mind it. I also have to mention - because my burger was late, as a gift they brought out a full set of pastries/cookies in a box. This was incredibly surprising and something I've never seen another restaurant do. Major props for that

The grilled trout with zarandeado marinade is memorable ... wonderful flavor! The burgers are good, but not necessarily a knock out that stands above other places. I tried their salmon fish and chips. It's the PNW so salmon makes good sense, and I love salmon, but I discovered that the flavor profile of salmon isn't quite right for a battered and fried fish dish like white fish are. I've had only one truly disappointing experience. I had a light appetite so I ordered their Beet and Citrus salad. I declined any protein to be added. For $18 I received a large platter with the salad literally taking up ONE HALF side of the platter as if something else was supposed to be served beside it. The chef could've easily proportionalized the size of the salad and balanced it on the plate so it looked like a complete meal. Instead, what I got almost felt like the chef was telling me that I should've ordered something else with it.

Their tap list is extensive but also includes non-standard options. We love to see non-alcoholic beers as well as gluten free beer, cider, cocktails, and other libations. The food menu is great too. There are several items that either come gluten free or can be modified to be. The servers are knowledgeable about the ingredients of the menu items and I feel confident and safe eating here when gluten free is a need for me. They can get pretty crowded, but have several seating options. It was nice out today so outdoor seating was even possible, though it looked like there was a wait. There are tvs in several spots that showcase local sports when possible. There is a kids area and you can sit close while the kids play. Everyone we come in contact with here from servers to hosts are super friendly and welcoming. The food is pretty good. This time around, we shared the garlic Parmesan fries and the chicken wings (buffalo and honey gojuchang sauces). The wings were smoked and moist with good flavor. The fries were alright. More of the aioli would have helped so maybe request extra sauce or get some on the side. The dessert menu has some non-traditional offerings. The highlight for me was the cheesecake. I was assured by a server one time that the chef creates a gluten free cheesecake that rotates on the seasonal dessert menu. The current offering is tiramisu. The coffee chocolate sauce is good and I appreciated the bonus chocolate chip biscotti. The actual cheesecake is decent and I would be excited to try other flavors in the future.

Mothers is a great place to eat downtown, but I'd recommend making reservations or at least calling ahead. They get busy!

The food came out quickly, hot, and prepared correctly. All items were quite tasty. It's not exactly gourmet in terms of you taking a bite and thinking it's the best thing you've ever eaten, but it's solid. I really want to try dinner there. Ambience is busy and bustling.

But when our server was with us, they were very nice and patient with my questions and requests. It's a bit loud when the place is on the full side, making it difficult to have a conversation. I wouldn't bring my girlfriend who is hard of hearing, at least with a group. I'd be curious to try more of the menu. I was very much not wowed by the breakfast. The beverages were however very nice, and I recently had the cobbler dessert and it looked amazing and tasted better. We had the coffee (Extracto, love.), I had a really good hef and my mother a very well balanced Bellini that I was very pleasantly surprised with trying. From what I saw, the lunch sounds very good and I'd be more apt to recommend folks give that a shot if they happened to be going there too. I'm not sure if I'd recommend as a must go stop. Vibe wise, the ambience is overall really nice. I think having rolled flatware, even with just upgraded napkins, would better complete the aesthetic you initially see and feel. This would also connect with the price point of the food and quality of the beverages. As a fellow server, on that note I would expect more consistent stronger visual appearance standards with servers. (Sorry guys! But some of you looked great!) 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.
