    Build Your Own Scramble was delicious
    Terrance S.

    Would give this 5 stars but this was my first visit and I need to try more options. The ingredients were fresh and tasty. I will definitely be back. Great location, great staff, and great vibe. Make sure you give it a shot.

    Compact, cozy but reliably good breakfast spot in Multnomah Village. They serve legit Stumptown coffee, and the servers are beyond helpful. Excellent selection of benedicts, scrambles and even salads and sandwiches, if you're looking for lunch. My Greek scramble was perfect with loads of spinach, feta and tomatoes. Ambiance is a bit dark, unless you score a table by the window, but a super friendly spot. Highly recommend.

    Beautiful pancakes with organic maple syrup.

    Beautiful dishes, DELICIOUS PANCAKES! I got the Eggplant Polenta Benedict and it was really good and my kiddo got the pancakes and loved them. The smoothie was also delicious. The staff went out of their way for us and you can tell they love and respect their locals.

    Seating is very limited but food is great. Great service. Has a little different menu than an ordinary breakfast place.

    Northwest Scramble
    Cici G.

    I have been wanting to give this place a try for a while and finally stopped in for a Sunday brunch. We were seated right away which was great! It was not too busy around 11:30am. Food: 1. Northwest scramble-7/10 the food came out within 5-8 mins which was extremely fast and I liked that. The portion size was perfect for me but might be a little small for someone else or if you are really hungry. The food was hot, fresh and had a good taste (I mean it is a fairly simply meal so pretty hard to mess it up, IMO). 2. Mimosa- nothing too special here 3. Latte- same, nothing stood out about it, average latte Overall 7/10, I would say the service and food was above average. Nothing stood out to me, good or bad, for me it was as just another brunch place in town and somewhere new to try. I will note that the menu is expansive and I would consider returning to have lunch at some point. Also one last note, the restaurant is very small in size and the tables are quiet close together so if you do not like being close to other customers then this isn't the place for you.

    For a Sunday brunch I was so surprised this cozy spot was almost nearly empty. Upon first arrival the full staff was nice and the food was delicious . Make sure to grab a smoothie to really get that nice juice of nutrients that you maybe missing. They had a special of crab cakes and let me tell you it was perfect of savory and such with the hollandoise sauce. The plates were perfect amount Me and partner can't wait to come back for the food.

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. Next time I'm back in Portland I'm absolutely spoiling some friends here with what I can only describe as a transcendent experience.

I know they get busy on weekends but we had no problem making a reservation and being seated promptly indoors. Their indoor space can get quite loud. They do have a covered side patio as well. We ordered some of their classic dishes: chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, banana foster French toast. Everything was absolutely delicious. I did feel some sticker shock at the prices ($17-24 ish) but the portions are quite large. They do have a kids menu as well as a full bar. Customer service was excellent, with a seemingly genuinely friendly server. Though they were busy, it was easy to get assistance as needed. The decor is wonderfully charming. Overall, Screen Door might not be an every-weekend kind of thing, but for an out-of-town visitor, a special occasion, or craving you just can't shake - it's absolutely worth the stop.

We are typically brunch people, making it here most often on a Saturday or Sunday for a late brunch. Their benedicts are to die for... truly, they're all wonderful. Their Laser Potato is out of this world. Truly, my favorite item on their menu. It is fabulous in all ways. I often take a side of it home just to enjoy later. We recently tried them for dinner. Their muscles are OUT OF THIS WORLD. Truly, the best I've ever had. This beats living in the southeast on the coast, any west-coast seafood restaurant, and every place I've ever enjoyed in Italy. They've certainly topped the muscle game. Highly recommend Olympic Provisions. I will gladly vouch that the negative reviews are from the haters, just to hate. The overall experience has never been anything less than fantastic. Photos to follow (hopefully, if I can find them! HA!) Enjoy OP next time you're in PDX!

Between the genuinely friendly hospitality and the flavor combinations, this spot hits it out of the park and is a must for sandwich lovers. Griddled Mortadella (5/5): An incredibly delicious sandwich that perfectly balances rich, salty, and savory flavors. 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. Logistics Tip: Street parking is surprisingly easy to find in the surrounding area, even on a busy weekend evening. The restaurant has a spacious layout with plenty of seating options both inside and outside. If you're a first-timer, don't hesitate to ask the staff for suggestions, as they're exceptionally warm, welcoming, and passionate about the menu.
