First off if you leave this place hungry then you need to seek medical help. This place serves large servings of great quality food. The service is amazing. I wish I knew our servers name because she deserves recognition. We went with a party of 14 and our server remembered everything and interacted so well with everyone. read more

Sunday wait time for two at 11:30 was about 20 mins to be seated. About 5 mins to order after seated Then only about maybe 15 mins til food came hot n crispy as ordered. Good food good service Would return again if in the area. read more

My boyfriend enjoys this place for breakfast, so he took me there for the first time. The staff is nice, and he enjoyed his food. However, I was not pleased. I ordered a Hawaiian burger specifically for the pineapple on it, and it came out with none. When I asked, they said they were out of it and did nothing to compensate for it. Burger was still decent, but just a bit disappointing since I would've chose something else to order, and paid full for something I didn't want. Just left a bad taste in my mouth, no pun intended. read more

Food isn't as good as it once was but still yummy! Best bacon anywhere in Portland....

Suuuuuper great breakfast! New favorite place! Service amazing, a little spendy for breakfast foods but quality makes it worth it,

OMG! Just found the perfect breakfast/ brunch place. The team work of the staff was seamless today. The portions are large and the food is delicious. We arrived at 10am on a Sunday and although crowded, the staff were quick and efficient and we only waited a few minutes to be seated. Our wait person was friendly, polite and helpful. Perfection!!! read more

Tons of Delicious Food! Great service on Father's Day as the place was packed! Super place! read more

Great omelets and amazing service. Worth visiting again and again. Lots of menu options, open for breakfast and lunch only.

We've been coming here for years, and we've always loved it until this weekend. I ordered French toast for breakfast and while I was eating it, I noticed a screw on my plate under one of the pieces of toast. A SCREW! I flagged down the waiter and sent it back immediately. When I told him there was a screw in my food, he didn't say a word. And when he brought our check, I expected the French toast to be removed from the bill. But it was on our bill - they didn't comp it, or anything! I'm absolutely disappointed by our experience at McCraes this weekend. Like I said, we've been coming here for years and it has always been great. But this was just terrible customer service and terrible business practice. I don't think we'll ever be coming back. (But in the meantime, get someone in your restaurant to make sure all your screws are in tact in your kitchen so no more people have screws in their food! I can only imagine how awful it would have been if I hadn't seen it and I had eaten it...) read more

Pleasantly surprised at the warm hospitality of the staff. The servers had it down part and cleared/set the table in a blink of an eye. Our server gave us time to look over the menu which had breakfast, burgers, and dinner meals. My daughter loved the burger and fries. I had 3 fried eggs with ham. The hash brown was amazing, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. An overall great time and worth the $ spent. read more

A greatplace to eat. Easy to get on and off the street for parking. This is a diner style setting restaurant without the counter. More than ample portions and a great wait staff. The food delivery is usually quite fast unless they are exceptionally busy and then we have never waited too long. They have clean and orderly restrooms too. For what it is as a local neighborhood diner, it rates 5 stars. read more

I was surprised by this spot out here in Gresham. It was busy as hell, so we ordered our food to go and ate in the car. The customer service was great though even though we were not sit in customers, prices was reasonable and our food came out hot. It was typical breakfast food, taste wasn't extraordinary but I wasn't trippin because it was much better than ihop or denny's. I'd go again read more

We Always get great service when I take my son here for a special breakfast treat! And large portions too!

Place is always slammed for breakfast, but that doesn't stop them from providing very friendly and fast service. Food comes out hot and fresh, always happy to top off your coffee and has a great down home vibe. It's a must try if you enjoy big breakfast at a fair price. Will be coming back. read more

This place is great if you want a lot of good breakfast! The staff is always really great too!

I have been going to McCraes's for years but will never go back was never treated so badly in an establishment. Went in on a busy day hostess told us to go on in and pick a table after a maybe 5-10 minute wait,as we were sitting we were told very rudely by one of waiters we could not sit there and directed us to another table,after we we explained we were told it was ok he still insisted,as we were walking to other table a different waitress told us we could go and sit there but they were going to split up the tables,we declined and stayed at original table ,we were brought our waters rt away .a few minutes later she came back to take our drink orders,and then asked if we were going to be a problem for her because she didn't deserve to be treated poorly after how she and her coworker had acted towards us,after that my wife and i were already been offended enough and decided to leave,and asked for managements# as we were asking at front counter same waitress came up to us and said yes we can have her mothers card,at that point i said i don't care who your mother is doesn't give you a right to be a b$&@$ very offensive behavior from those 2 employees read more

Looking for an American tradition--the old fashioned cafe with wait staff that remember you and provide reliable service? Look no further! Ambiance is lacking a bit, but the food is reliably good if you are looking for American classics like bacon and eggs, biscuits with sausage gravy, and a stack of pancakes. Coffee is decent, but not to die for. I've been there several times now and always enjoy my breakfast. read more

My wife and I recently moved into the Gresham area and I've past by this place several times (usually see a good amount of people eating there) and wanted to try it out. From the looks of it, the place looks clean and the decor made the place a little more cozier than some of the cafes and diners I've been to....but then, again, I'm not the one to really comment on how a place looks unless I'm running to the restroom 15 minutes after eating their food. First thing, I'm really a fan of their service. We waited almost zero minutes for water and service which is becoming more and more hard to come by these days, no matter where you go. Throughout the whole stay, rounds of water and whatever else that may be needed came like clockwork.....big plus for me. Great job! Price wise....you will spend more than what you normally would pay for food, depending on what you get. Half order of chicken fried steak breakfast (Jerry's special) $14.95. 1/2 lb Jalapeno Pepper Jack Burger with a side salad $13.20.Total price tag of $28.15 without tip for two people in which is what we ordered. So, it's a little on the spendy side, in my opinion. For the food itself, the portions are freaking huge! The server tried to sell me on getting the whole pound burger but just stayed on the half pound. I'm glad I stuck to my guns, the 1/2 pound was almost too much for me and I can certainly put away some food. There was a couple things that I found concerning. Condiments/sauces. I thought it was odd that the ketchup, mustard, etc. came out like water? Even the thousand island that they used on my burger looked watery in which they completely over-killed. Made things really messy to eat. No thickness/substance at all to the sauces. Loved the fact that they serve steak fries, looked awesome! They were cooked well and were hot but when I tried them, they were surprisingly....um,dry!? I actually choked on them a couple times even after I drenched them in the watery ketchup. As for my wife's food, she enjoyed it. I did try the chicken fried steak and it was good. We will come here again and try something else. Perhaps, not anything that comes with fries and/or having to use their condiments. Happy eating everyone! read more

I was seated promptly. Food was hot. I lived there gravy. I had a biscuit with scrambled eggs and a sausage patty with gravy and hash browns. Was excellent and the service was excellent and fast. It was very busy there. read more

1st time here, came inside and the first thing I saw was a host who was very excited and nice! making the atmosphere pleasant. Kept thanking us when I was thankful for the food being served lol Food was delicious and the portions are HUGE. I am an X-NFL player and can eat a lot so I tried the full portion country steak and the BIG pancake thinking it's nothing. I couldn't finish it all (half a steak left) and had to take the Shame to go box to finish later lol All in all great atmosphere and music too 5 stars read more

I was hopeful for a nice dining experience, but hope in one hand and.... well, you know what to do in the other hand. The food looked and tasted great. If only my breakfast wasn't half eaten by the time my waiter had to be reminded of the sour cream and salsa that he said he'd be right back with upon serving up the food. I had to flag someone down because no one ever had come back to check in on my breakfast. I imagine it's probably not normally like this, but who knows. Once you have to experience this, it kind of puts a pit in your stomach and makes you think twice before ever returning here. read more

A favorite place for breakfast! The potions are so big we either split a breakfast or have second breakfast the next day

Really good food, quick service too. Nothing bad about the place very friendly staff and coffee refill guy is on top of his refills. Delicious country fried steak read more

I must say it was a lot better than I expected after reading the reviews my grandson had the Denver Omelet which was tasty I had the patty melt which was very delicious the only thing is they had a couple things they were out of other than that very pleasant the only flaw I would say is that used oil for their hash browns instead of butter gave it a little funky taste . And when we ordered orange juice it's Sunny Delight read more

If you're looking for a huge chicken fried steak this is the place! On the menu it's under Jerry's Special. You can get a half order with eggs, hashbrowns, and toast, or for a couple dollars more you can get a whole family style chicken fried steak. For just a couple dollars more you can try to take this thing down by yourself or have some leftovers. No need to share with the family. I've had this chicken fried steak several times and it's always been cooked to perfection and the country gravy is a perfect complement. Their hashbrowns are always golden brown. It's a basic diner environment, but the service has always been great. If you're in the mood for a chicken fried steak, give this place a try. read more

Went here for lunch but had breakfast. It was about 1pm and was greeted by a nice lady, I ordered an omelet with ham,bacon,onions and peppers with country gravy all over it lol. It was pretty darn good and a big portion even tho I impressively ate it all lol. The large soda is in a quart mason jar and free refills. I liked the homey small town diner/cafe feel, seemed like alot of regulars there. I will definitely be back to try other stuff read more

McCrae's Country Cafe - I made my own combo omelet yummy!! - American Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

The food, service and atmosphere were all great! Prices were fair and there seemed to be plenty of menu options.

I asked Google for the best breakfast in town and this came up so I went there on a Sunday at 6:15am. Service was top notch, two women were working and they were both very, very nice. The food was awesome. Everything tasted freshly prepared. I had a haystack, which is biscuits topped with scrambled eggs, a sausage patty and gravy. I opted for hashbrowns and a pancake because I was hungry. Well, that was plenty enough for two people! The gravy was very good. The pancake was not your typical cake, a bit more fluffy and it actually had flavor, as opposed to just flour. Not sure what was in it but I would eat that by itself. This place has breakfast down to a T. Highly recommend and will definitely return. read more

This place has the best bacon i've ever had. It's thick, juicy, and is cooked almost perfectly. However, a few weeks ago, I ordered to-go and see that they put their food in a SAFEWAY bag without thinking about giving me any forks or spoons to eat the food I bought, nor gave any napkins. I figured that they were just having a long, tired day, so I let it go. Today, however, they forgot to put forks and napkins again and I felt a little off while eating my bacon as it tasted different. I kept eating it anyway but suddenly, I see a short, blonde hair stuck to the bacon. I have to ask, do the workers in the kitchen wear hair nets? If not, please do so. I'm so disgusted to think of how many times I ate your bacon without knowing what was on them. I won't be coming back again because finding hair on my food is a huge pet peeve. read more

Sweet Jesus of all things holy this place has crazy huge portions! If you're going....it is wise to take someone with you. Or perhaps a few for that matter. Each portion is enough for at least 2 people unless you are just THAT hungry. I've been here a couple times and the food is always mediocre at best. The chicken fajita omelet is decent as is the chicken fried steak. The philly cheese steak was OK. The service overall is ok as well. I only come here once in a while but everyone seems to be friendly. Come hungry. read more

In between a 4 and a 5! As everyone else said, portions are huge. Got a full chicken fried steak with the hash browns, scrambled eggs, and toast - to go, for 2. Got home, went to split the chicken fried steak in half and realized it already was, there was another to go container in the bag. This shows how huge their chicken fried steaks are. I thought the half of one was a full one. The chicken fried steak was good. I'd go there again for it. It's always my favorite thing to get anywhere I go, but now I know where to go for a tasty, perfected one. Country gravy over it was awesome. I'd ask for a little less gravy. (Who does that?!?! I know...). Hash browns were not seasoned at all. But it was fine because I mixed them in with my gravy. Scrambled eggs were the first to go on my plate. Delicious. All in all, great meal. 4.5 stars. I will be going again! ***Edited: The staff said the to go menu prices aren't exactly the same. Subject to change within $1.00ish.*** read more

Probably the best cafe in Gresham featuring the fastest service in a really packed Restaurant! Wait time for food is literally less then 25 minutes, I was just amazed! and employees were so Nice, they even care for their costumers because they check on their costumers all the time with offers of more coffee, water, etc. portions are gigantic and gets really packed in the mornings that you may have to wait awhile but it's all worth it because the breakfast was out of this world! Stunning! I would totally come again and again and again with friends and family. Be sure to come try it and invite your friends and family to come get breakfast. read more

Always good food, really friendly staff and great servings for the price. Have never had a bad experience eating here.

My girlfriend and I have been to this location a number of times. It's a spacious building with two different seating areas. Each time we arrive, we are promptly seated and offered large jugs of ice water. My breakfast of choice is always the chicken fried steak. It's huge, comes with eggs, toast, and hash browns, and the gravy is thick, but delicious. Service is always good here, the food is always good here, and the quantity is great. I suppose one could be a hipster snob and dislike everything because it's not organic and can't be traced back to the farm of origin, but that's your own call. Me, if I want a breakfast that is nowhere near healthy, and I want to spend time with friends in an open, warm, airy place, I can think of worse places than McCrae's. read more

I had biscuits and gravy and link sausage. The sausage was small but pretty tasty! The biscuits are soft and the gravy was good I don't think either one of those are homemade but they were still good which is all that matters in my book! Both of the girls that helped me were very sweet and I never had to wait too long for anything during my experience. I will be back next time with us my husband so I can try something else on the menu read more

McCrae's Country Cafe - Ratio of mushrooms to egg/cheese was overpowering after eating a normal ratio. Not sautéed. Mentioned this but no one seemed to care. - American Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

Large portions of low quality food. So bland that I had to put ketchup on my eggs - something I never do. Wheat toast was very sad, and the Smucker's strawberry jam packets were no consolation. The hash browns were delivered as an unevenly cooked pile of goo so boring that I had no choice but to quickly devour them and ignore their poor quality. Finally after eating the scrambled eggs and trash browns, I moved on to the chicken fried steak, a sad pancake of beef wrapped in cornflakes and drowned in gravy. But this was no steak, dear friends, but a thin and over-cooked pile of meat fibers pressed together like plywood. I'm not sure what I ate, but it was not the steak I had imagined. I am amazed that so many "Elite" Yelpers are leaving positive reviews. This place offers a breakfast that should offend any decent society. I will not be back without serious changes to their ingredients or pricing. If you serve trash, at least give me a discount. The Jerry's Chicken Fried Steak was $17, and I would be less critical if it were only $10. But at $17, you expect a nice meal. read more
