by Mat
Amazing!!!
by Clayton CJ B.
Both Mexican scramble and portobello mushroom scramble are 10/10
by Arash Narchi
Put your name on the list then get coffee at Stumptown while you wait. Our server was great and food portions are generous! My asparagus frittata was awesome but red potatoes were dry and tough.
by Maureen C
Banana bread from the pastry display was awesome!
by Kevin T.
Great atmosphere with superb food. The Salmon Hash is terrific and the Biscuits & Gravy are thick and rich.
by Morgan H.
Excellent salmon hash and French toast. Among the best breakfast spots I've been to throughout the country!
by Colin G
It is a cozy, warm atmosphere, elegant, yet also homey. The service is quite good, with friendly hostesses, and servers who were all helpful, accommodating, and a pleasure to talk to.
by Jason W.

Salmon Hash and Migas are awesome!
by Nipun S.
The breakfast nachos are incredible. Just get those.
by Colleen Borgendale
Prosciutto and Swiss cheese omelette was incredibly good. The red roasted potatoes were perfectly cooked and you can't go wrong with unlimited coffee. If you're in Portland, it's a must go.
by Marcel E.
Desserts are massiveā£ļø Great concept where you can order 2 half portion dinner entrees.
by Mary Jo A
The food was decent, the service was good... but overall I think this place is over-rated. I would give it a solid 8.
by Jean M.
Like having a CIA trained mother cook for you.

by Van B
The biscuits and gravy are amazing!
by Amelia H.
Breakfast, mimosas, coffee,
by Kathleen T.
I took the recommendation for Salmon Hash and it did not disappoint! Combine with the French press coffee and you're set. If you come alone or group of two sit at the bar. First come first served.
by Colton G.

As long as weather is nice sit outside. Save yourself the wait.

by James D
Great spicy Bloody Marys. The breakfast nachos are amazing! Must have with eggs.
by Marisa M.
Excellent brunch in Portland. The wait can be long, but it is definitely worth it!
by Jonno M
Large enough portions that two people could share one of their scrambles. The potatoes were soooo good.
by Paul L.
El mejor lugar para comenzar el dia, el pan frances crujiente y los omelets son riquisimos al igual que su cafe
by Alberto T
Worth the wait.
by Mark Schumaker
Best Brunch!
by Christian E
One of the best places to visit in PDX for a brunch. The food here is to die for and the crowds here wholly support that notion
by Arun P
Breakfasts are great. It's super busy so be ready for a line. Love their Benedicts and scrambles.
by RTWgirl A.
Best breakfast ever... Salmon Hash.
by Darrin p
Delicious Belgian Waffle and bacon.
by Sara
The pancakes, waffles, scrambles and bloody Mary's are worth the crazy wait times!
by Robin S.
Crunchy French Toast with soft butter and maple syrup!
by Veronica D

by Laurissa Wolfram-Hvass

If dining alone grab a seat at the bar. Probably won't be a wait.
by Norman E.
The French a Toast is on point!! So is the bacon!
by Norman E.
Biscuits & Gravy is a good bet on the restaurant. In the bar let the bartender choose for you. You won't regret it.
by M T.
Benny's chicken sandwich. That's all.
by Ashley K.

by Marvella V.

by Lisa Hinchliffe
Great biscuits with country gravy. A must try for breakfast/brunch.
by Duane B.
Bloody Mary's are solid, and the grape jam is phenomenal
by John C.
This place is a tourist trap, complete with mediocre food, dingy decor, and an hour wait. My tofu scramble was a slimy, flavorless, overpriced excuse for a meal. The best thing was the toast.
by David L
This is the premier downtown breakfast spot that I recommend to all visitors. Friendly, farm-to-table and locally sourced ingredients. Stumptown french press coffee fresh to your table-perfection!
by Angie K
Make sure you spend some time here. Talk to the bartenders and they'll find you a new cocktail favorite
by Ben S.
I had the Three Little Piggies omelet. It has ham bacon and sausage! The crispy French toast was great too. Awesome service. Definitely recommend this place.
by Billy
Breakfast love!!!
by Katya Kilian
On weekends, arrive before 9 to avoid waiting in line.
by Sophyan Julio

by Kelly Wong
The French press coffee menu was an awesome touch
by Jessica G.
Probably the best Eggs Benedict I've ever had in my life :)
by Peter
so disappointed at the crab cake. >"< the BBQ PORK was pretty good though...
by cellwall A
Comfort music for comfort food. Most of staff are pretty attentive with things such as refilling your coffee without even you asking. Recommending the sausage platter, it's the best!
by prima fili
Everything is great!
by Giovanni D

by Ros d.

by Todd L
Incredible eggs.
by Jon G.
Sausage and biscuits. Omggggggg.
by Zac M.
Long wait, super slow, mediocre food, overworked employees (made them rude)! Don't waste your time!
by Soroush Hat
Can't go wrong with the wild salmon hash at brunch.
by Brenden B.
Long wait at the weekends, but seating at the bar is first come first served.
by Matt B.
French toast
by Eric D
Their drinks are great but food was average. Got a menu item with scrambled eggs and potatoes, have experienced better.
by Gaurav B.
Their menu is an updated take on classic home cooking like chicken and dumplings, meatloaf, and a daily rendition of mac and cheese that has been known to inspire squeals of glee at my table.
by Design*Sponge
I feel this place is overrated. The Bloody Mary and food were overwhelmingly meh.
by Ben R.
Best brunch ever! <3
by Wendy
Indulge--the Irish nachos will change you.
by Tanya V
Migas were excellent. Portobello scramble was salty. French toast was corn flake crusted and awesome.
by Saurabh K
A one and a half hour wait? We squeezed into the bar within two minutes!
by Jeff R.
The Meyer lemon pancakes are amazing. Snag them if they're on the menu!
