    Mexican manhattan? Spanish coffee
    Elizabeth S.

    What a great brunch/lunch spot! Drinks are delicious and strong, food has great flavors and is very fresh, and the servers are so nice. Those tortillas were for sure hand made - yummmmmy. Cute brunchy vibe for your weekend mornings with a homey feel.

    Loaded hashbrowns
    Amanda F.

    My boyfriend and I stopped here on a Thursday morning after dropping my car off for some work nearby. I got the loaded hashbrowns and he got the breakfast sandwich. I could make the hashbrowns dairy and gluten free. They really hit the spot and highly recommend. I also had a sangria and he had a mimosa. Both equally delicious and would get again. The service was good despite how busy they were. Overall I would come back again.

    Sausage Breakfast Burrito
    Ploy N.

    A cozy brunch spot with open interior and high ceiling. I enjoyed how they elevate traditional diner dishes with high quality ingredients and techiniques. The Breakfast Burrito with sausage had some of my favorite sausages! Herby and savory. The use of hashbrowns rather than country potatoes inside was a plus but I did wish they'd toasted the outside of the burrito. The cilantro salsa was a 10/10 though! The Corned Beef Hash was also tasty. Very generous with the corned beef and the eggs were poached perfectly. Surprisingly, my favorite of the meal was the side order of French Toast! It's more like toasted bread pudding but the texture and flavor were so decadent and custardy. I was a fan. Definitely one of their better brunch spots in town. Staffs were very friendly and service was fast too.

    This restaurant is in a little shopping center. The sign is colorful and easy to spot. We walked in with no reservation on a Tuesday at noon. The restaurant was full but not completely packed. It had an at home feel to it, cozy and inviting. Our server asked where we wanted to sit. We sat by the countertop bar by a window. The menus were already placed on the table. I noticed that they have GF options! It took awhile for our server to come back to ask for our order. I chose the loaded hash browns and the breakfast martini. After while, it was served! Servers are kind. Everything was very tasty! I enjoyed it!

    Friendly, hip staff. Lots of seating. Deals daily $5 mimosas Tuesday-Thursday. Industry discount Thursday-Saturday off of your bill. Small menu but solid choices. Better to do a few things well instead of many things mediocrely. Brunchy and can get a bit crowded on the weekends. They have a good homemade corned beef hash. Come if you are into strong mimosas.

    Homemade biscuit and jam

    Been hearing all the positive news on this place. Well it didn't disappoint. The chicken and waffles with the bacon butter was great. Skinless, boneless chicken, two big pieces, crispy, and not spicy which I like. The homemade waffle was dense and had flavor. So much better than those light flavorless waffles. The OJ was a bit tart for me but maybe the season, also not used to having ice in my OJ. I was there for lunch and had to go back to work so no boozy fun drink this time. My friend enjoyed her burrito and it was huge so she took half home. I also took half of my chicken and waffles home. The biscuit I got as I always look for good biscuits. This was a different style. Very dense and super buttery. I do prefer the light flaky style. So it is good just not my preference. I bet this is very popular on the weekend but will have to come back again for sure.

    French toast, loaded hashbrowns, chicken n waffles and of course a mimosa or three.

    The food was great. Top notch. Our issue was with the disorganized host, who passed us up after saying we would be next, then lied when they said they called us. We were right there listening. Especially after being told we were the next table for three. We finally got in and it was worth the nearly 2 hour wait. But the host organization needs improvement as this place is popular.

    So glad that Flattop & Salamander is thriving years later! This is one of the most underrated brunch spots in Portland in my opinion. Friendly service, consistently good food, and a large cocktail menu. Yes, it's fairly small and they can get busy, but that's weekend brunch for you. Plus a parking lot in inner Eastside?! Too easy!

    A very pleasant atmosphere.

    Great vibe and eclectic menu, service was better than average. The Honduran Baleadas sounded better than it tasted. We added crispy chicken, but there was barely any. I'd certainly eat it again if it was in front of me, but not a reorder. The Berry Waffle was excellent. Waffle edges were nice and crisp, an ample portion. One of those might come back, might not places.

    Another weekend in town, so I decided to try a new brunch place. This week, I found Flattop & Salamander. As I wandered into the parking lot, I can see a decent crowd outside the establishment, expecting a wait to be seated. As I approach the hostess, I requested a seat for one, and to my surprise seeing the full house, I was seated immediately at the bar. The bartender acknowledged me immediately. I ordered a coffee, which came out at perfect temperature and in a decent sized Starbucks mug. The bartender gave me a minute to review the menu, and took my order promptly after I decided to pick the corn beef hash. The bartender asked if I wanted ketchup with my order in which I responded "yes". My order came out at a reasonable time, that reflect that my food was cooked to ordered and not being scooped out of a container after being pre made or pulled out of a freezer, waiting to be thawed. The corn beef hash browns were well balanced and portioned. I would come back.

    Breakfast martini

    Had brunch there and it was great. My friend and had biscuits & gravy and they were great! I had the breakfast martini (very tasty) and my friend did the Bloody Mary ( spicy). Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is bright and cheerful but small.

    Chicken sliders and French fries

    There are a surprising amount of "made in-house" items on the menu, which is welcome and appreciated. Staff is very friendly, and knowledgeable, but professionalism was lacking. I entered, and couldn't find anyplace to check in, and was ignored by all identifiable staff. I left (confused) for a few minutes, and on my second entry, there was an employee standing behind a previously unstaffed table at the entrance (which also doubled as the storage area for flatware and napkins) who took my name and put me on the list (estimating a 40 to 50-minute wait). After about 45 minutes, we were seated at the bar. After we ordered (roughly ten minutes later), I got a phone call from the same employee who took my name and seated us to let me know that our table was ready...weird. Anyway, the food was good, but not noteworthy. Server and bar staff were friendly and helpful. Ambiance is weird, with a rather crowded interior (bar area is particularly cramped...tables appeared to have more room). A huge plus is the private parking lot. Most businesses in the area only have street parking.

    EXCELLENT Traditional Bloody Mary and a fresh-squeezer grapefruit juice
    Ainsley E.

    We had a DELICIOUS brunch here. Staff was friendly, all the food and drinks were super fresh. We ordered: - traditional bloody Mary -- excellent, heavy on the celery salt which I'm a fan of. - fresh grapefruit juice -- YUM! Definitely fresh and pulpy - chicken and Waffles 50/50 -- boyfriend said he preferred the bacon butter version over the spicy one, but they are both good. The waffles are TOP NOTCH - Honduran Beleadas -- this was like the perfect meal. The tortillas are so fresh and a little thicker (I assume authentic to Honduran style perhaps), savory eggs inside, yummy beans, and the two sauces compliment it nicely. Wouldn't hesitate to return here and try more of the menu if I were in town again :)

    I got a special Paloma and my girl got a hot chocolate

While they do have indoor seating, the outdoor patio is where it's at. The atmosphere is one of the best parts - laid-back, lively, and full of energy without feeling crowded or overwhelming.

Everything we tried was great, and I'd happily order it all again. If you're curious, check out the photos - they speak for themselves. Definitely a place worth adding to your Portland rotation.
