Such a lovely little place! Sweet, helpful staff, clean, and really great food and drink. The drip coffee was very smooth and they kept my cup full. My breakfast partner had the veggie hash which was enjoyed very much. I had the Truckstop breakfast with 2 eggs, breakfast potatoes, veggie sausage (comes with your choice of protein), and a cat's head biscuit (that's what we called giant biscuits in the South). The cook prepared the scrambled eggs perfectly - I order eggs "scrambled, soft" but don't always come out that way, but they were expertly on target here. The breakfast potatoes were glorious- a generous serving of perfectly seasoned, fluffy soft on the inside, crispy on the outside, two pieces of tasty vegan sausage, and the biscuit had been sliced and heated on the stove and came with butter and what I suspect might have been housemade berry jam. I am fussy about pancakes and didn't see anyone else with them on their plates (as I rubbernecked around the room to see what people were eating) but I think I'll try one next time, now that I know what an exceptionally good job they did with everything on this first visit. Street parking. Use of their on-line waiting list is encouraged. read more

I've been wanting to try Little griddle for a while now. The wait can be a bit brutal on the weekend, so I'd recommend putting your name on the virtual waitlist prior to arrival. There is only neighborhood street parking, FYI. There's only a handful of tables inside (and a couple outside) but the space is nice and cozy. They have both plants and art on the walls for sale. Their menu offers a number of options for both drinks and food. I had a mango mimosa (one of the best mimosas I've had in some time) to drink, and a pancake and the vegetable hash to eat. The pancake was wonderful. The hash was a great mix of veggies and the most perfect poached eggs on top. It was served with a small spring mix salad. My complaint with all the food was that it was just ok. While prepared well, it all lacked flavor. Nothing seasoned or stood out as a great dish. The service was fantastic. A small staff, but they all were doing everything and I believe everyone touched our table throughout our dining experience. I'd go back, but it wouldn't be at the top of my list to revisit. read more

If I could sum this place up in one word, it's be homey. Little Griddle, particularly this location, is a petite little spot which feels cozy even on the coldest days. I went by with a friend on a Tuesday morning around 9 am and we were able to snag one of the last 2 tops that were open. Bewarned if you go during busy hours or the weekend, you'll likely have to wait or join the waitlist. We both opted for a hot chocolate, which was overall fine, but definitely powdered mix + milk type of situation. They are in giant mugs so fyi! My friend and I were like oops we could have should have shared this :P Foodwise she got the huevos benedictos aka huevos rancheros buuut benedict style! Perfect combo as she'd been craving both. I had the shakshuka. Tastewise, my food was fine; the eggs were properly poached and runny, but the tomato base itself was just fine. The amt of bread for the dish was just too little but that's a me problem, not a them problem. We both opted to get potatoes on the side rather than the salads that our dishes came with annnd the roasted potatoes were just fine. I felt like a lot of what was presented was on par with what my partner and I could potentially make at home. No disrespect to Little Griddle but it truly felt homey. That's not to say that things weren't tasty. Prices are fair for quality and service was really nice. Attentive without being overbearing. Parking in this area can get dicey so you may have to park a biiit further away during busy times. read more

My sandwich was SO good, its very cute and homey in there, service was OK. We came in 45 minutes before closing and it was 10 minutes before closing and it felt like they were trying to rush us out. read more

Little Griddle - fried chicken biscuit #1 - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Portland, Oregon

We stopped by on Sunday morning before Memorial Day and had a table within minutes. I ordered the Huevos Benedictos (braised spiced pork shoulder, avocado, cilantro, cotija, hollandaise, pico de gallo, citrus squeeze, english muffin) with a side of potatoes and a michelada. My partner had French toast with salad. The bendictos were amazing. I chose savory over sweet 10 times out of 10 and this was so good. The biscuit had a a bit of crunch, the eggs were perfect and I licked the plate clean. I added a bit of the house made hot sauce to the potatoes. My partner's French toast looked good and they had a salad as the side. The salad was incredible. I wish I had ordered it instead of the potatoes. It consisted of mixed greens and hazelnuts topped with poppy-seed dressing. So good! read more

Solid breakfast spot! Small space - not great for big groups - likely a wait, even for a party of two. It's been around a while, but this was my first visit. I left satisfied! The huevos benedictos were phenomenal!!! Braised pork shoulder, poached egg, avocado, hollandaise, pico, cotija...you kidding me?!? So damn good! The side salad is a perfect compliment. My Irish coffee definitely not shy on the Irish! Loved it! My partner had some over medium eggs (good execution) with bacon and a biscuit. The biscuit was fantastic - crispy layers of dough! Service is okay, but reminiscent of a diner. read more

Every. Single. Item. Was. Delicious. Country Benedict: the braised chicken was cooked to perfection, the hollandaise was perfect, and that was the tastiest, best biscuit I have ever had...AND I LIVE IN THE SOUTH! I also added a side of potatoes which were well-seasoned, crispy, and comforting. (Not pictured) My friend got the french toast which she thoroughly enjoyed and I also got to try some and loved that it was fresh bread, not overly sweet, and topped with fresh fruit sauce. We did note that it needed more but that might be the south in us that wants diabetes in everything. Lastly...the cold brew latter that they added their house made brown sugar syrup to. BEST coffee on my trip. I ordered a second one to go. The service was top notch. We laughed a lot, the place is quaint and cute. 12/10! read more

It used to be a very lovely place, one of my favorite places for breakfast/brunch in Portland, but definitely NOT anymore. We got on their waiting list and after receiving a message that we are first in line, we headed to the restaurant but ended up waiting another 30 minutes while watching multiple people coming in, checking in and getting inside while we were still waiting. When we finally were able to get inside, host didn't even show us our table. He did the same thing to the rest of the people as well creating bit of a confusion for everyone. His demeanor was very much like "I don't care" Food was way too salty and potatoes were undercooked. Needless to say, we will NOT be coming back here and, would NOT recommend this place to anyone. read more

Great place. Excellent food with a feel good 'vibe' and attentive and engaging staff. They're pretty fun too. And the Owner and Cooks are worth standing up to cheer about. Little Griddle is one of my top two breakfast/ brunch spots in Portland. read more

Little Griddle - Skillet topped with poached eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I was met wi the smiles and respect! This place lives up to the hype! I came alone and there was a little wait, but not too bad in while waiting in amazing Portland weather. I was finally sat after 10 mins - inside is intimate but not too loud. Food fast and everything was delicious.. I highly recommend the country Benedict if you want something savory. The collard greens with the biscuit and braised chicken was a good take on a soul food Benedict. The French toast was extremely fluffy with the right amount of sweetness. The bloody Mary , or Maria (tequila) definitely helped with my slight hangover, and I ended up getting an Irish coffee, which was delicious as well. Wanted to try a few things so I got a good grip on the location. I will definitely be back & and I highly recommend this to anyone needing a good breakfast or brunch with amazing service. read more

It's been a long while and glad they're still knocking it out of the park. Don't underestimate the side salad that comes with most breakfast entrees. It's a delicious complement and gives whatever you're enjoying a healthy feel. The chicken biscuit is not the handheld kind as there's lots of oozing goodness. And this isn't some pre-fab dry white meat patty, great flavor. Service was excellent. The delicious homemade lemonade is a deal. Lovely spot and overall vibe. read more

Amazing staff and amazing food. Get the feta as a add on, totally worth it! Been here over four times!

My husband and I couldn't have made a better choice for our spur-of-the-moment breakfast outing at Little Griddle this morning. We arrived just after 9 AM on a Saturday, which seemed ideal. We found a table for two in the half-filled restaurant, just in the nick of time! Within ten minutes of our arrival the popular restaurant had a 12-person waitlist. I can't stress enough how adorable Little Griddle is. They pack a lot of cuteness into this small footprint of a cafe with 10-12 tables that stretch from the bright window in the front, to the kitchen window in the back. The ocean blue ceiling has touches of gold trim throughout, and the featured works by local artists help make the space feel extra special. I ordered a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit with a side of roasted potatoes. The presentation was lovely, and the biscuit was expertly made. The meals seem shareable as the portions are generous. Every dish has a vegetarian option, and diners will find a wide variety of breakfast and brunch items on the menu. The overall vibe of Little Griddle is bright and happy. The staff were smiling and pleasant, and very attentive to our needs. I happily left a 25% tip and promised to come back again soon. This may be one of my new favorite breakfast places as it's conveniently located near my home and the food is DELISH! read more

We stopped at Little Griddle before a spa day, and it was the perfect start. We joined the waitlist on the way over and only had about a 10-minute wait when we arrived. The place was packed -- and now I know exactly why. Service was great, food came out quickly, and everything was delicious. I ordered a single pancake with a pork sausage patty, and that pancake was ridiculously fluffy with real maple syrup -- absolutely worth the hype. My friend had the Truck Stop meal, and we both cleaned our plates. The only survivor was part of her biscuit, but to be fair, that biscuit was huge (and really good). Overall, a fantastic breakfast spot. Highly recommend, and we'll definitely be back. read more

I absolutely love this place, first off the location on Hawthorne does not get better. There is so much to do near bye and the vibes are always perfect especially during the summer. The food is great. If you want some yummy breakfast/brunch food but don't want to spend 30$ this is the place to go. I got a coffee and an entree for under 20$ which is hard to do at most sit down breakfast lunch spots. The eggs are always amazing here and you can't go wrong with their pulled pork options as well. The service is so amazing, I usually never have any issues or problem when I come here but today they were just a tad bit late on bringing my food out compared to the rest of my party. The server apologized and even discounted my food for the inconvenience which I thought was very thoughtful. They do a great job of making you feel welcome and the ambiance inside just adds to this feeling in so many ways. I would recommend you give Little Griddle a try if you are in the area! read more

We went on their website and got on their waitlist. We waited the 45 min to become the first on the waitlist, which was fine.

We have been here many times and this will be our last. read more

Visiting friends Woke up late, but made it for brunch at Little Griddle. My friend was like we have to eat here. The food did not disappoint. My friend & I ordered- the Shakshuka Skillet it came with: 2 poached eggs, marinated feta, peppers, onions, tomato and stewed spices. And I added vegan sausage. My friend's husband order the Bacon & Spinach Skillet. I also ordered a hot tea, which was basic. I will have to try something else for drinks next time. The food did not disappoint. I will back again when I visit Portland. read more

My hubby and I went to little griddle recently and absolutely loved it. We ordered 2 egg bene and one pancake. Egg Benedict's (huevo and florentine) were so flavorful, and the presentation was amazing. The pancake was so soft and melted in mouths. The staff were very friendly and made sure we got things we needed. It was a small joint and it was very busy on a Tuesday around lunch time. We enjoyed the ambiance and loved the pictures on the wall. We are definitely coming back when we visit the area again. Would highly recommend to anyone who loves a great brunch. read more

I really enjoyed brunch here! Came on a Saturday around 1:00 but had put our name on the waitlist an hour and a half before. Definitely do that since the wait is long. I also accidentally went to the Hawthorne location first so just note that there are two. Great menu, super cool restaurant, very artsy. Get something with a biscuit bc they are delicious. I loved the egg sandwich and appreciated that it came with a side salad for some greens which was also yummy. Our servers were very friendly. Would recommend, above average brunch. read more

Disappointed with this place. I joined the Yelp Waitlist because I know this place is teeny and popular. Once my husband and I were #2 in the online waitlist (a full hour after joining the waitlist), we lined up outside with the others waiting. The host came outside a few minutes later to check in with the customers waiting. Host asked if my husband and I were on the waitlist, to which I answered yes, as #2, and gave them my name. They say they're checking us in. Cool. They came back a couple minutes later and informed me that they had checked in walk-up customers in front of us and that there are now 3 parties ahead of us. (We are now #4 in line instead of #2 after being in the online waitlist for an hour). I told them we'd hit the road instead. I am literally so pissed- it was all I could do to keep my wits about me. Why have an online waitlist at all if you allow walk-ups to skip the waitlist in front of online joiners? It's not like I was late, and I lost my spot. I did what I was supposed to do, and still got kinda screwed. I'd like an answer to why this ok. read more

Best brunch I've had in a while- I love when a place is able to pull a good shashuka. Come early as parking and seating is extremely limited. The shashuka ($15) had great flavor but somewhat small substance to it. If they added more of the peppers it was suppose to have it's def be amazing. The bacon cheddar hash ($15) was so much portion wise but average flavor. The coffee ($3 for hot $5 for ice) was okay- just wished they had more options as Portland was so intensive with their coffee scene. The seating was small but cute!! Service was kind of slow so I can see why people tend to wait a lot from reviews. Super cute and affordable brunch spot!! read more

Wowww this place deserves all 5 stars. We came for brunch as a party of 4 on a Saturday morning around 830 am - we were seated right away! It got busier around 930 and at 10 there was an hour wait. We got the shakshuka, curry hash, and a pancake to share. Everything was 10/10. The pancake might be the best pancake I've ever had!! So light and fluffy and delicious. The skillet dishes (shakshuka and curry hash) were so cute!! Very flavorful and came with toast for dipping and a surprisingly good salad. Good portions, you will not leave hungry. The area around the restaurant is charming and worth walking around in. Some nice boutique shops. read more

Little griddle is such a hidden gem, it's an absolute amazing local brunch spot! The restaurant is very small inside so I always make sure to get on the wait list on yelp before arriving. Parking lot is small but there's street parking. Ordered: Shakshuka comes with toast highly recommend this dish its peppery and the onion and tomato just work so well together. I'd order this every time. Bacon cheddar hash- my bf likes it but I think it can be a bit heavy. Blueberry French toast , we ordered this with the intention of to going it but ended up finishing it at the restaurant loll the toast is so airy and the blueberry jam compliments it so well it's not heavy at all! I think the salad was complimentary but omg I need to know what dressing they use I will literally buy it on the spot!! I enjoyed dining here good food good vibes, tables were a bit too close to each other so its kinda awkward but it's understandable due to how small the establishment is. read more

I tried a little of the aardvark sauce and it wasn't my jam but a popular hot sauce here (not the animal). read more
