    So glad I stopped in this morning to Javi's! Excellent food... eggs, hash browns, bacon and pancake were all prepared perfectly. Compliments to the kitchen staff House made hot sauce was amazing as well. Service is friendly and fast. I'll definitely be back!

    Corned Beef hash with potatoes and over easy eggs.
    Beth H.

    Always Friendly attentive staff. The coffee was rich and strong. I had the corned beef hash. Tons of corned beef, it was delicious. My friend had the chilaquiles and were tasty.

    Biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs
    Laurel H.

    Yelp continues to steer me to great places that I would necessarily notice otherwise. This old Tastee Freeze has been turned into a good little restaurant. Scrupulously clean. Friendly, knowledge service. Food is generous and nicely presented. The gravy on the biscuits and gravy was flavorful, a little in the sweet spectrum for my taste but perfectly acceptable. Real biscuits. Fluffy scrambled eggs. The almond French toast special was beautiful. The star of the show was the bacon. Thick, lovely flavor. I will come back for the bacon alone.

    all of it

    Main course was amazing, the single side pancake had my mouth singing and at about 20$ for a meal this was a pretty solid breakfast for the price and it made me really happy. I think for a breakfast spot this is a great choice and the service was pretty standard (these people know how go work) the inside wasn't remarkable which I think is kind of a good sign because it doesnt feel overly gentrified? which I always appreciate. Go in and check it out if you're looking for a good way to start the day

    Tres Leches French Toast
    Lenea E.

    So good! Parking is easy and accessible and the food was great! We got the Seattle Scramble and Tres Leches French Toast and both were 10/10. The staff were great; friendly and helpful. Such a cozy, small town, hole in the wall vibe.

    Chicken fried steak side

    What a treat! I think the word is out on this place, as it was packed this morning, but didn't have to wait more than a couple of minutes. The parking lot gets full and the spaces are angled for most of it, so I'd recommend entering from the side, not Sandy. Inside is very cute and I like the "fancy" ketchup on the tables. A very little thing, but I like that they bring actual cold water, so many places bring you a jug of room temp that's been just hanging out. The food is excellent, everything has something special and unexpected. We got the Denver omelette ($19.50), that came with hash and a pancake. Very solid. The clam chowder ($7), also good, but could use some salt. Herbaceous and thick, lots of clams and tender potatoes. The chicken fried steak side ($13), that one could use some work, more seasoning and gravy was a bit bland, but nothing some hot sauce can't help with. The other items being passed around looked incredible! And those drinks looked crazy good, next time. A not typical breakfast/lunch spot with high quality food and drinks with no line in Portland. That's probably all that needed to be said, :)

    We found Javi's after catching an early flight to Portland. It's a small, family-owned, café located a short distance from PDX. It's not a large place but they have plenty of tables. Service was fast and friendly! Check em out! A few things to try: Mexican Omelette - Chorizo, onion, red bell pepper, jack cheese, chipotle crema and guacamole. Bloody Mary - Rose city Vodka with 2 hearty pieces of bacon.

    Mexican omelet and sweet potatoes

    Soooo good! We have eaten here multiple times and it's always a treat. Their gravy is excellent so biscuit or chicken fried steak really hits the spot. All fresh and wonderful

    My dining companion and I had intended to go to Clyde's, a little further west down Sandy, but it didn't open until 1130 so we headed back to Javi's to give it a try. Hobbies is a fairly small little place, but it was bustling at 11 AM on a Thursday when we arrived. Just a few tables available and the sweet hostess made sure to get us one a little further away from the door since it was very cold out that day. The menu offered breakfast and lunch items, with specials written on their chalkboard. My companion opted for the chicken fajita sandwich special while I went for the number two breakfast on the seniors menu, two eggs, two bacon (or sausage) and a pancake - a perfect sized meal for my lighter appetite. The chicken fajita sandwich was huge and came with an abundance of tasty french fries. The chicken breast in the sandwich was well-prepared and it featured grilled onions and red bell peppers and lots of cheese (Jack?) on a toasted roll. The senior breakfast was delightful. The bacon strips were very tasty, and thick bacon. The pancake, while on the smaller side, was very good, and the eggs were scrambled perfectly. Overall, very delightful. The coffee was quite good as well. The service was perfect. There was always someone very nearby who could help us with whatever we needed. Great little place that seems to be a neighborhood favorite.

    One of my favorite breakfast places now that has a diner vibe and classic breakfast/brunch options. I had the breakfast burrito and I loved it. Price wise it is a bit high but the taste, service was really good. Mexican hot chocolate was good too. They have a private parking space. I'll need back to try other menu items.

    Chilaquiles Verdes
    Aaron M.

    I have thoroughly enjoyed all of the dishes I've ordered from Javi's. Today was no different. The Chilaquiles Verdes with Ribeye steak, was fabulous. The verde sauce had just the right amount of tang and bold flavors. The steak was prepared exactly to order. Topped with the house salsa, the chilaquiles ruled. The servers were all so friendly and attentive. Such a nice vibe in there as well. Love this neighborhood restaurant. Great job Javi's.

    Meat lover's omelette with red potatoes
    Joe H.

    Had brunch here and it was very enjoyable. I had a meat lover's omelette with red potatoes. Excellent meal. We had a great waitress that was very helpful and pleasant. The restaurant is a bit small and it did get a little too warm but the place is clean.

    Aubrie R.

    Oh man I can't wait to come back here!!!! The staff is so welcoming and friendly, the food is freshly prepared and plated *just right*! The vibe is super chill and causal. GREAT parking lot to make it even more appetizing to come here! Try the churro waffles - they do not disappoint!

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.

My co-worker mentioned wanting some "creole, southern cooking" so I did some more Yelp'ing of course, revealing yet another bookmark, Screen Door! Here's how it went. Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right on Couch St. in the Pearl District is this gem. The outside isn't much to look at, it's straightforward and modern. The restaurant is set on the corner and is adorned with yellow touches with a decent-sized outdoor section. Once inside it feels like a nice old-school mansion set right out of the bayous of New Orleans. Lots of low yellow lighting, woods and bright tiles decorate the bar as well as the seating areas. It's one big open seating area with the bar off to the right. I loved the open concept. It was busy, but wasn't terribly loud. I also LOVED how this place loudly and proudly welcomed LGBTQ+ community with a rainbow of balloons as well as artwork! Service: I can't remember who took care of us, but we had no issues here whatsoever. Food: The drinks were strong, colorful and delightful. Being based on southern cooking I had to try the classing New Orleans Hurricane and Sazerac! The Hurricane was huge, delicious and of course, strong. The Sazerac was practically perfect. First up I checked out the Hush Puppies which are cornmeal fritters w/ pepper jelly. These were delicious, hot, fresh and the pepper jelly had an EXCELLENT spice to it! Next up were the Crispy Fried Oysters which are cooked then crusted with cornmeal, bacon, other seasonings and served with toast points. These were delicious and literally made me forget I was eating oysters. Next up I tried the fried chicken that came with buttermilk-battered, crispy fried boneless chicken breast & thigh w/ buttery mashed potatoes, tasso ham gravy and collard greens. Absolutely fantastic. Chicken was crispy, juicy, tender and well-seasoned. The mashed potatoes were also moist and left my mouth watering after each bite. Collard greens were fresh and everything I wanted them to be. I also got the chance to try the Chicken & Waffles which comes with 1, 2 or 3 pieces of chicken depending on how hungry you are, a sweet potato waffle and of course syrup while everything is dusted with powdered sugar. Fantastic. The savory and the sweet just balanced themselves so well. My co-worked also let me try his macaroni & cheese which was damn good. Baked so it had that layer of crispy cheese across the top and was so cheesy, so gooey underneath. Value: Macaroni & Cheese Side = $7.00 Don't Tell Me What to Do! (Drink) = $13.00 Original Sazerac (Drink) = $15.00 Baked Oysters = $12.00 Chicken & Waffles (3-Pieces) = $29.00 Fried Chicken Dinner = $27.00 It's not fine-dining pricing, but it's not cheap either. The food and the ambiance are absolutely worth the price point. The quality speaks for itself. In conclusion, I LOVED it here at Screen Door. It's worthy of its great rating, stellar reputation and pricing. I am excited to pay this place a visit again in the future when I make it back here.

Between the genuinely friendly hospitality and the flavor combinations, this spot hits it out of the park and is a must for sandwich lovers.

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.

The restaurant has a spacious layout with plenty of seating options both inside and outside.
