    Migas
    Tram D.

    I got the migas and I enjoyed my scramble with the tortilla but wished it came with more than two as I felt like I had to ration it. eggs were fluffy and everything was well seasoned. loved the chorizo they used. the complementary beignets were delicious but not what I was expecting for a beignet. they were moist and fluffy on the inside and not too sweet.

    We had a reservation for 11 am on Saturday morning, but arrived at 10:40. There was no waiting and we were immediately seated at a lovely table near the window. The restaurant is really cute and feels a bit trendy. The staff were very sweet and offered us the most amazing complimentary beignets. The food came quickly and was delicious! When we left, there was a line out the door, so I recommend going early!!

    Awesome breakfast stop! We had a small group of us, and we got a table fast. The service was great and we had our order in fast. The food took a while, but it was worth the wait. So many great dishes. From classic bacon and eggs to some wilder options, there was something for everyone. It was all great! Great food, great service!

    Mini Benedict (half order) heart of artichoke in there! Yum

    We just dined at Cheryl's, and Georgia was our waitress, she was absolutely AUHMAZING! This was our first visit, and it did not disappoint. The space is cozy and inviting, with an open kitchen right in the center as you walk up the slight incline from the entrance. There's a charming little café area to the right and restaurant seating to the left. The large windows overlooking the city from this beautiful old building create the perfect atmosphere, especially on a cold, rainy day. We were greeted with fresh, hot beignets to start, which was such a treat. My husband enjoyed the Mexican Mocha, and I had the London Fog, both were perfect for warming up on a chilly morning. We couldn't decide what to order, so we split the Huevos Rancheros, and wow... it was AUHMAZING too! It was loaded with zucchini, broccoli, potatoes, carrots, spinach, and caramelized onions. We added linguiça sausage, which took it over the top. Every bite was delicious. To make the experience even better, Georgia brought us a sample of the Portuguese Fried Rice, which was incredibly thoughtful and gave us another reason to come back and try more of the menu. By the end of our meal, our bellies were full, we were warm and cozy from our drinks, and we were already talking about our next visit. So glad we found this gem thanks to Yelp. We'll definitely be back! Thank you, Georgia, for making our first visit such a memorable one!

    Beignets, sort of a French-Cajun donut, very light and tasty.

    Cheryl's catered my husband's and my wedding reception and did a great job. But we had never tried their brick and mortar restaurant. We recently took a staycation in downtown Portland and decided to have brunch there. At 1030 on a Saturday morning, we were still able to get a table. It was crowded, but the noise level was do-able. Service was excellent, very friendly and efficient. All of the waitstaff seemed very relaxed, which I thought was great. They bring beignets to every table as a starter. They are light, airy and not too sweet. For breakfast, I had the Ed's scramble, which had a ton of veggies in it, but also cheese. It was served with a ranchero sauce and sour cream. This was very, very good. My husband had the chili and cheese omelet, he said it was great and it looked really good. This is an excellent dining spot that has been in Portland for years. I can see why.

    A very quaint spot in the heart of downtown Portland. Went on a Sunday and had very little wait . There is the main dining room and it appears they expanded to next door. When you first sit down you are greeted with warm beignets and a friendly waitress. The selections were hard to choose from just one item and from the looks of other tables the portions were very generous so I ordered a half portion which let me try a few things.

    Portuguese Fried Rice was delicious!
    Christina J.

    Googled breakfast spots in downtown Portland and this gem of a restaurant popped up! From the greeting I received when I walked in to the delicious food I ate made this a place I would recommend and return to! I even appreciated the reprimand for brining my Starbucks cup in there when they have the best coffee. Great indoor/outdoor seating! It was a pleasure to be there.

    Bright space with lots of windows, tall ceilings and seasonal decor... tried the Green Omelet & Huevos Rancheros. If you get an omelette, I recommend try it with the potatoes. They have a nice seasoning that actually complements the Omelet. First few bites of the omelette were a little bland till got the part with the feta in it. Their coffee is a local coffee. The server did a great job of keeping the coffee topped off. Though the coffee comes with sugar and cream it's tastier on its own. The complementary beignets were delicious. Airy and not overly sweet.

    Been here a few times now- amazing service and lovely atmosphere. Plenty of seating and even tho it's packed, I'm able to get a table quickly. Staff is amazing and very friendly. Portuguese fried rice is recommended for a reason. It's very savory and it's the spot, especially when you add the fried egg. I've had bacon wrapped dates which were HELLA GOOD. Drinks are fire too, well crafted and they have quality mimosas. I had the cinnamon and it is ONE OF BEST I've ever had. When I'm in the area & they're open, I will stop by just to get one lol. It's famous for a reason. The quality is amazing and it not gimmicky. Just good comfort food that will hit the spot.

    Visiting Portland and found this place on yelp for breakfast. Made a reservation and glad I did, this place was very busy when we came around 10am. The servers were attentive and very kind. Even got complimentary beignets. We got a split mimosa for $22 instead of $12.50 each glass. Came with a cute bottle and a small oj. The fried rice was so yummy and the crab benedict was probably the best crab benny i've had ever. It was real Dungeness crab was and they did not skimp. potatoes were alright but the benny was so yummy and the asparagus added a nice green crunchy layer. would love to go back!

    We were visiting Portland and looking for a place to eat, and Cheryl's on 12th was on my itinerary, so we decided to check it out. The wait wasn't nearly as long as described, which was nice--probably helped that we were only a party of two. That said, once seated, it felt a bit uncomfortable being placed in the middle of a very crowded dining room, especially with tables packed closely together. The food came out quickly, and the coffee was great, which we appreciated since we were short on time. Overall, though, the experience felt a little overhyped for a breakfast spot. It wasn't bad by any means, but there are probably other places we would try next time. Since it was nearby and convenient, it worked for this trip--but I wouldn't go out of my way to return.

    Crab Benedict, Grilled Cheese, tomato soup
    Kaelin N.

    Sheesh, this place is busy, and understandably so. We waited approx 15 minutes on a Sunday morning, which wasn't too bad. Overall, I had a pleasant experience. While I did end up with crab cartilage in my crab benedict, and egg shell as well, it was addressed. I appreciate the customer service and acknowledgment on Cheryl's part for this. It was made right and not brushed under the rug. I enjoyed the food otherwise! I didn't care for the free beignets, but liked everything else. While I didn't get a chance to come back while visiting, next time I would still dine here, as the food was delicious and the customer service is wonderful.

Immaculate atmosphere and the exact sort of thing we were looking for for breakfast. We didn't get her name but saw on the receipt her name might have been Davi, she was such a bundle of light and life, so attentive and kind! She immediately gave us wonderful recommendations which we all adored. The table ordered praline bacon to share (do yourself a favor and get this), one ordered the praline bacon waffle, another ordered the bananas foster waffle, and I got the seasonal vegetable hash. We were all in HEAVEN with what we ordered. From the first bite to the last it we were all absolutely stunned by how delicious and well made everything was. I savored every bite as did my compatriots. One gal ordered a couple things to go for her family (huevos rancheros for the hubby and cinnamon rolls for her kiddos) and our waitress Davi recommended they bring out the cinnamon rolls unfired so that she could pop them in the oven when she got home after a short drive. It was such good attention to detail that felt like such a friendly offer. Absolute superstars, the lot of you.

He told me that they would clean off a table for me. WOO HOO. I bursted out crying at the thought that I finally got my seat. As I sat down a soft chair graced my bottom. Beautiful. I looked around and the scenery was beautiful. As I looked at the menu, my eyes sharply turned to the chicken and waffles. Deliciously perfect choice. I ordered my food and got a coffee. My chicken and waffles arrived and I took a bite. I started floating. My soul left my body. I looked down at my body as I floating away, I was enjoying every bite. I reached the heavens. A loud voice said "Its not your time yet. Return and enjoy the rest of your meal." I ascend back to the chair and every chicken and every waffle was gone. The servers were SO kind. I got my check and shead a tear, knowing that was the best meal of my life. Over all from kind servers to and delicious food, SCREEN DOOR was an awesome experience. SCREEN DOOR deserves a 5 star, however I am going to give it a 5 star. I loved every moment. Thank for read my review. Love you.

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. It had a generous portion of perfectly tender and sweet bulgogi steak that pairs with their melted jack cheese. The gochujang mayo sauce had a subtle and sweet heat, while the fresh kimchi added crunch and slight acidity to balance the rich meat. Elote Tater Tots (5/5): Definitely a creative side dish. The tots were perfectly fried and topped elote style with cotija cheese, pairing well with the smoky chipotle mayo on the side.
