Ron JeramiahMarch 28, 2017Stopped in foe a late night snack...did the cheeseburger and warshed it down wit a 'boozy shake' which was awesome! Definitely a place to hit up son 🍔🍟
Brian KuberskiJuly 25, 2013Great diner; staff is super friendly & super chill. Don't come here if you are in a hurry; a big part of the appeal is that its not a drive-by experience; they will talk. Try the Frank Sinatra martini
Reed RumJune 17, 2013The Chicken fried steak is off the hook!!! Best I've ever had. And I have had a lot. Great cuts of beef. Quality!!!DO IT!!!! Joy is supper cute and a fantastic server 😉
Shelley BeeFebruary 2, 2016Their boozy shakes are so good! Also the fries with gravy and cheese curds are scrumptious!
samantha kingApril 28, 2014The train wreck fries are the best! Who would have thought chili cheese fries and poutine go so well together
katie rossMarch 30, 2015The drinks. Crafted and delicious. Extra time to prepare, but worth the wait. Chicken and waffle sliders are amazeballs.
Matthew Riley MacPhersonDecember 6, 2014Happy breakfast times. Come here early to enjoy a relaxed atmosphere, speedy service, and lovely morning meals.
Marie-ÈveJune 1, 2017In-house ground beef burgers are fantastic, as well as the Oregon salad with Oregon steelhead!
Jacquie RooneyFebruary 15, 2013Don't mess around with any of the fancy breakfast dishes. The two eggs plate is the best you'll ever have!
Fantastic brunch! Lumberjack breakfast is huge. Top it off with a man-mosa. Get reservations via OpenTable.
- Pach ReedJanuary 1, 2015Deluxe Burger: A fantastic option, try their original sodas, this place rocks!
Samuel VarnerSeptember 1, 2011Get the ham and cheese omelet w/breakfast tarred and English muffin! Gf had oatmeal w/granola and yogurt! Huge servings! Great service!
Shel WestMarch 9, 2013OMG, the pancakes! Amazing. Veggie sausage, not so much. Hash browns have some odd seasoning I wasn't expecting. But the PANCAKES!
The chilaquiles are amazing... Almost as good as my momma makes them.
Julia PDecember 6, 2017Food looks good but doesn't taste good. The hash is dry - did they run out of oil? The pancakes are burnt and hard to chew. Coffee is LUKEWARM.
Seriously? Wagyu beef, with BBQ sauce, topped with bacon, AND mac'n'cheese, on ciabbata? Only at The Original
Jeffrey FaheyJanuary 14, 2012Great spot for breakfast as well as a cocktail. Hip Vibe with great food.
PDXHappyHour GuidebookMarch 21, 2011Great Happy Hour! Check out review in the Happy Hour Guidebook! And get the creme brulee French toast. Yummy!!!
Love their Green Goddess salad! Half size is just the right amount!
Sophia UnFebruary 6, 2012Get the 'breakfast for dinner' which is Creme Brulee french toast. Delicious!!
Phillip MaldonadoAugust 5, 2011They maple bacon shake is where its at. Plus the room service/ busgirl is super friendly and cute!
Chris MillarOctober 31, 2013They mis-made my veggie burrito with meat. Manager seemed nice when apologizing about the mix up.
Happy hour offers lots of options @ around $5 each, including their delicious daily punch for $4. Great comfort food!
Richard ZaragozaJuly 6, 2013Portland is a foodie Mecca. Try somewhere else. Don't burn an opportunity like I did ; )
Val BarlowDecember 4, 2011The meatloaf tasted a little bit like spam, but the poutine was excellent!
Careful, the checkin special does NOT include their house made soda
