Don't let the strip mall outside stop you from coming in here! Service is friendly and fast. Tall booths keep the noise down. The food is the star! The bacon cheeseburger has several pieces of crisp bacon and was perfect meat to bun ratio. The French fries are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Plenty of condiments on the table to fit any need. The chili cheeseburger had a healthy amount of chili, cheese and onions. It's a bit of a drive for us but we will be back!/ read more

Wanted to try a new place near us for breakfast. Unfortunately this place wasn't a good match for us. I felt like things were a bit pricey for the amount that you got. There was a server who was really loud and it was distracting. The food was out at a relatively good time so that's nice. We did have a nice server who had dark hair and she was efficient and kind. read more

Great food awesome service. Very comfortable ambience Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Their desserts are homemade and a must. Haven't tried all their menu but planning on it. read more

This is an old school, come as you are, breakfast joint catering to locals and welcoming to anyone who wanders in. Great menu, excellent coffee, ultra fast service with really solid food. The place has been packed whenever we have been in, but always grabbed the last table. Total local gem. read more

OMG!!!! We live in Seattle and popped in here on a whim after staying over at the McMenamins grand lodge. Let me tell ya, we were NOT disappointed and I would drive out to forest grove again to eat their delicious Chicken fried steak (CFS). Diamond in the Rough brunch spot!!! Hands down one of the best places I've had for breakfast and I've tried allll over the PNW. Food - fantastic! Yummy. Classic but simple. We ate the CFS, which was soo good we order another one to go! Breakfast burrito which came with TWO huge burritos and tasty too. Our friends had the omelette, shared it and had plenty of leftovers too. Service - the staff were the sweetest, very friendly and attentive. Price - a steal for all the food you are getting and the taste too! Random little restaurant in a Safeway parking lot. You'd almost miss it if you were not looking for it! Cute little diner. Unfortunately, no pictures because we were too busy loving our brunch. Cheers!! read more

Not only is the food great the service is fantastic, you get more than you asked for, well worth stopping by and enjoying a great meal

My mom wanted to come here for breakfast. I will never return. The service is good but the food is not. Mostly canned or frozen. Corned beef hash was out of a can and was so nasty. When I saw the owner reheat my biscuit in the microwave I new I was in for it. Leave this place for the "blue hairs" who don't care. read more

We just moved to Cornelius and decided to give this local spot a try. The service was good, nice servers and you can tell they have a connection with the community. The food is mediocre at best. My wife ordered a scramble and the bacon was undercooked and overcooked. My son ordered an omelette that had an excessive amount of cheese and hash browns over cooked and bland. I ordered steak and eggs breakfast. I ordered my eggs over medium but got over hard and my "ribeye" felt like chuck roast meet cooked on a flat iron and was not medium, it was more on rare side. To top it all off the home made biscuits are more like very dry bland corn bread. Ambiance is great and give the feel of a small mom and pop diner, just needs some major TLC in the kitchen. read more

Great cafe. Food is delicious. We had their omelet and scramble. Food portions are large! Everyone is very friendly. Owner of the place is as friendly. A must try. read more

Had breakfast here yesterday. The food was great and the service matched it, but the coffee was nothing more than dark hot water. Completely weak and lacked any taste. I'll definitely go back for the food, but I'll be bringing my own coffee until they learn how to make it. read more

Service was outstanding. The food, not so much. Chicken Fried Steak with Eggs over medium and home fries. Gravy lacked flavor and tasted like it was canned. It would have been better with a little ground sausage and some salt and pepper. The potatoes tasted like they had been sitting in a bin for a while and reheated in the microwave. They had a slight rubbery texture. The chicken fried steak was clearly frozen and flash fried. The sourdough toast was typical sourdough. Nothing special. Eggs, Bacon and hashbrowns with biscuit. Eggs and bacon were cooked right. The hashbrowns needed more grille time. Get some color on the potatoes. The biscuit was HUGE! HUGE....But, it tasted like flour. We had to put a lot of butter and honey or jam on it just to make it edible. They could have done something with these to make them stand out like a rosemary or herby type biscuit to make it really pop. Staff was friendly and the place was a typical breakfast diner. Lots of lighting and typical diner decorations. The place was pretty packed when we arrived. We waited about 15 minutes. read more

Hands down the best breakfast spot it town! Started in a cozy Cafe setting. Followed by excellent and very friendly staff. Service was impeccable and we felt part of the family. The hubs had chicken fried steak (excellent). I enjoyed my favorite, eggs benedict (with homemade hollandaise sauce). Delicious food with generous portions. Definitely recommend! read more

Maridon's Cafe - Eggs Benedict with cottage potatoes! Yum!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Forest Grove, Oregon

Summary: Excellent service, decent food, phenomenal allergy accomodations. The atmosphere in here feels very "contemporary farmhouse." Modern gray decor mixed with black and rubbed bronze metals. Lots of kitschy signs and paintings on the walls. The server and staff behind the counter were all super friendly and accommodating. I definitely got the feeling that they could identify regulars by name. My husband had the chicken fried steak with sausage gravy, eggs over easy, and hash browns. The chicken fried steak was very thick but still tasty. He pronounced the whole thing great and cleaned his plate. When I asked if their grits were fork (thick) grits or spoon (watery) grits, they said they could make them however I wanted. Sadly for me, they came out absolutely *drenched* in butter. More grits for the kids, who enthusiastically gobbled them up. They then made a whole new bowl of grits for me and they were delicious! Just enough firmness to give texture, but still cooked enough to be creamy and thick. I had the Belgian Waffle with bacon and egg whites. Always a good sign when a restaurant will do egg whites. The waitress asked if I wanted the bacon regular or crispy. I asked for as crispy as they could get it and they definitely delivered! The waffle was rather small, so if you're hungry, get two. The kids had the hot cakes with sausage and the kids chicken strips with fries. The sausage had a nice crisp skin with a sage flavor and a bit of spice on back end. The chicken strips were huge and the fries were excellent. Some of the fried foods did appear to be pre-made, such as the chicken fried steak, fries, and chicken strips. And the pancakes and waffles had a slightly spongy texture that felt like the batter might be over mixed. Otherwise this was a great place to eat and we would definitely recommend it to others. read more

Small business local cafe with typical food and prices not ridiculous like other breakfast places in Forest Grove. Friendly staff- I recommend it. The lighting always makes my eyes water for some reason though. ‍ read more

My sister and I shared the French toast and the Belgian waffle breakfast. Out of the two, I thought the French toast was better. Pretty good breakfast and they give you lots of food. We had to wait a little bit but it's a pretty popular place so it makes sense. Service was great and their staff was super friendly read more

From the outside this place doesn't look like much - but the inside was very comfortable and has an old-time diner vibe. Three of us had breakfast there. The portions were generous and service was excellent. Highly recommend! read more

A friendly neighborhood cafe with lots of locals and regular customers, the service is always excellent and accommodating. Many menu items are house-made from scratch and some of the best I've ever had. There is a broad menu selection and everything is cooked to order. This is not a $20-a-plate Portland establishment but a cozy diner with food and prices to match. Recommended! read more

This place was awesome! We originally set out to Primetime but it was not opened yet, I Googled breakfast place in Forest Grove and Meridon's showed up! I'm glad it did! The restaurant is quaint, the waitresses are spicy( which I love), the food was excellent. The prices were amazing, the food was out fast and hot! I will definitely be back! My son who is a very picky eater said The biscuits and gravy were amazing and the food put him in a good mood! So big shout out to you guys today!!!! read more

Nice local cafe for a good breakfast...directly across from Safeway in the same parking lot.

I lived in the Hillsboro area for a long time and somehow I never found out about this place until today. What a great little diner!!! Staff was courteous and friendly, the place is clean, and the food was really good! The biscuits were sort of hush puppy style, and the gravy was phenomenal!!! The wait staff was super friendly, we had prompt service with a smile, and the food was out super quick. All this while being very reasonably priced. They even offered our daughter a to-go cup for her hot chocolate, which we declined, but still they definitely earned our business in the future. Highly recommended!!! read more

Good food and great service. We really enjoy returning to Maridon's for our weekly breakfast.

FANTASTIC! The service was quick. The entire staff was super friendly. All three of us really enjoyed our meals. The homemade potato salad was really good. My buddy got a milkshake and enjoyed it a lot. After we were eating we saw someone else order a biscuit and they looked great, so I ordered one to go and ate it the next morning. It was delicious. Wonderful experience all around. read more

The service was fine. The place is cute. But the food...the bacon is the only thing that saved it from being a one star. The bacon was good. The egg was oily. Not sure how an over-medium egg can be icky but it was. It was slippery with oil. Not bacon grease or griddle oil - it was like it was simmered in an inch of cooking oil. And the "Belgium" waffle was a toaster Eggo with a scoop of faux-butter on it. I had hope cause the place is old-towny and filled with regulars. But no. $14 for an oily egg and a couple of Eggos is a lot, even with decent bacon. It doesn't take much to pull off a decent breakfast but somehow they fell very short. read more

I'm a huge fan of mom and pop style shops and absolutely loved it here. The portions were huge, the waitresses were extremely friendly, and the food was great! I loved the Elvis pictures on the wall and how "old school" everything was inside. If I lived closer (I'm about a 4 hour drive) I would be here daily! read more

This place was on my wife and I's weekend breakfast rotation. We went in for breakfast a few weeks ago and I found what I thought was either an onion or a piece of fingernail. I sent the food back. The cook ,who is now buying the business, came out with a new plate of food. She proceeded to loom over me blocking me from exiting the booth. I quote" I cook a lot of onions on that grill and one got in your food. Next time expect it". I will never set foot in there again and do not recommend it to anyone due to the rudeness of the owner. We sure miss the previous one and are sorry to lose a good diner that was one of the few left in town. read more

This place cannot be beat for service, knowing what you usually order, and quick service. They really care about their business and their customers. We order breakfast burritos and they're enough for several meals. We usually do takeout. But if we walk in they know exactly what we usually order and greet us with a smile. They are extremely quick with service. read more
