Off the Griddle had a small line outside the door at 8:55 before they opened which of always a good sign. The food was amazing and very well priced for being so good. Although I am not vegan this restaurant did offer options for egg and chicken but I stuck with the original menu with all vegan items. The blue cornmeal waffles are amazing and I'll never go back to having normal waffles. Thanks so much OTG :) read more

This place is really nice. Everyone who worked there was super kind, the ambiance is perfectly mellow for breakfast. Overall a good vibe. Now, I love a Benedict. It is generally all I want. I'm not sure their Benedict is for me. It's vegan, which is great as I'm vegetarian. You can get it with eggs, which is awesome. BUT you cannot get your eggs poached (at least for me scrambled or over medium was what was offered), and the vegan meatloaf sits like a brick in your guts. It was fine, I'll be back to try more things, I just wish they had a Benedict with veggies. A real missed opportunity for a vegan place. read more

Came here after a mani pedi and had one of my favorite PDX breakfasts so far! Their menu is amazing - they have something for EVERYONE and the food is damn good! Bustling and busy, with great seating inside and out, and incredible craft cocktails and awesome coffee... This is a SOLID breakfast joint. read more

During our recent visit to Portland, we searched vegan breakfast places and were also recommended this place by my friend who is local to town. It's really good and has a unique spin on classics like the waffles made with blue corn. We loved and enjoyed everything from space to locate to service and food. read more

Cute breakfast/brunch spot with vegan, vegetarian & gluten free options. Off The Griddle has non vegan egg and cheese options for the vegetarians. I love the variety on their menu and they offer a great cocktail menu as well as beer. I ordered the Brunch Wrap Supreme - this was the breakfast of my vegan dreams! With house made veg chorizo and house made cheese sauce it was delightful. -service was friendly and fast -street parking -no reservations read more

I bring own of town guests here for brunch on the regular and keep coming back because it's so good. Vegan by default, chicken eggs and dairy cheese available on request. Generous portions, damn fine coffee, and I love the rotating kombuchas on tap. Be warned the the waffles are larger than your head and very dense/filling so great for sharing! Be prepared to wait on weekends. Pro tip: the garden store next door is a great place to browse while waiting for your number to come up :) read more

This is my go to place when I'm in the mood for yummy non-dairy (vegan) mac & cheese.

Had a super delicious Fri morning brunch at Off the Griddle! I ordered the Hashtastic (potatoes, butternut squash, kale, Brussels sprouts, cashew ricotta) and added their herb tofu scramble and pickled onions. I ate it with a lot of Tapatio because I love hot sauce. PHENOMENAL. I'm a big potato and tofu lover, but don't tend to love butternut squash or warm kale, but everything was delicious in this. The ratios were perfect. 10/10, no notes. read more

Delicious. I'm not vegan but I used to be and would come here a lot with my family. I like that they offer eggs and cheese to those who aren't vegan. The biscuits are amazing and so is the tempeh. I love the tofu scramble and honeslty just everything I've had here has been so good. My very non vegan boyfriend also really enjoys the food, which is rare for him. Can't recommend this place enough! read more

Note to self: Got the "Full Mess". Everything was clearly made from scratch and wonderfully tasty. Service was friendly and helpful -- appreciated that as it was my first time. The blue corn waffles look fantastic so I will get them next time. Meal was starchy, so I had to drink lots of water. My issue not theirs. Need to try out the other location next time.

The vibe is casual, comfortable, and clean. The area can accommodate several groups on a busy weekend. The food by default is vegan, unless specified, but it seems that the friendly staff makes sure to ask your preference when you order. I got the Blue Plate with a side of tempeh bacon, my friend got the Full Mess, but with egg. We both enjoyed our meals, but the service made it just an "okay" experience. They were friendly enough to, but only came to the table when it was necessary and they didn't waste much time talking to customers. I might come back here while in town, but with plenty of other vegan options in this city it won't be my first choice. read more

I'm not vegan, or vegetarian, but what matters in any restaurant is the yumminess. And these folks do a good job. Wonderful cinnamon roll and no idea it was vegan. Had the feast waffle, and the buckwheat a little dense and dry--helped by having some hash browns inside the waffle, along with a little sausage & alleged vegan cheese. the gravy is excellent. they have quite a broad menu, and I'll be back to try something else--maybe biscuits and gravy or mac and cheese. And the place has such a friendly, homey feel, thanks in large part to the service. You don't have to be vegan to enjoy off the griddle! read more

After hearing such great things about Off the Griddle, I've been looking forward to trying out their infamous waffles. Sadly, I felt very disappointed by the Berries & Cream Waffle. The waffle itself was okay but had a cornmeal taste to it. There was also barely any berries or jam making the overall taste rather bland and dry. The space here is overall casual and relatively small with a few tables to dine in. The staff here were very friendly and inviting, which is why I would give this place at least 2 stars. I can't say I will be returning however nor would I recommend coming here. read more

Ordered the full mess and grapefruit mimosa. The kitchen staff are quick. It took less than 10 minutes for our food to come out fresh. The full mess was loaded with gravy on top of hash brow, but I felt like it made the hash brow soggy which was disappointed. The biscuit was yummy. Not dry. The restaurant was super busy on a Sunday brunch, but the playlist was rad. Attentive staff. read more

Choose wisely! Their breakfast has fallen off over the years. Avoid the gf biscuits at all cost. Whoever is making the biscuits obviously has no idea how to make a biscuit or work with gf flour. Also, the sausage is an over cooked & dry mess. Stick to the waffles, that may be the only redeeming menu item available for brunch. read more

I haven't been to many vegan brunch spots, but if you are craving a heavy, southern-style/American breakfast, this may be the perfect spot for you. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, but the inside is very cute and gives off the vibe of a Southern home. Their menu is pretty vast, with both sweet and savory options. They have items ranging from waffles, mac n' cheese, burritos, wraps, all with different protein options. I saw someone sitting near me and their wrap so amazing, so I ordered one for myself too. Their food is SO good, and very flavorful. Overall though, it wouldn't be my favorite brunch place as their items tend to be really heavy for a first meal (LOTS of protein, sauce, big portions)--but! that is something totally up to my own preference. The food is amazing and I think it gives vegans (and non-vegans) a great choice! read more

Off The Griddle - Brunch Wrap Supreme Basic B Waffle Hashtastic Berries & Cream Waffle - Vegan Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Unique waffles. Easy to customize. From my understanding, everything was vegan. We asked to be seated inside but there was a wait. Opted for outdoor to-go ordering. Ordered two plain waffles with butter and syrup and a berries and cream. Lemonades and sodas. Total: $60.xx before gratuity The plain waffles were blue. Very interesting color for a waffle. I would describe it as a fluffy but dense waffle. It wasn't my favorite but it was ok. I appreciated that everything was vegan. The berries and cream waffle was a lot more delicious. The cream on it didn't taste vegan but it was great. Service was subpar. Might go back if we can get some indoor seating. read more

Great spot for vegan and gluten free food! If they didn't tell you I doubt you would even know it was gluten free or vegan. My daughter devoured her waffle with berries and didn't even comment on the taste or texture of the gluten free vegan waffle. My Feast Waffle was very taste with a little hot sauce. The eggs definitely helped with the dryer texture of the gluten free waffles. I would stop again if hungry and in the area. We sat outside as the music inside was so loud our group didn't think we could chat over lunch. The outdoor seating was picnic tables but very clean and added an upscale picnic/camp feel to eating waffles for lunch. The staff was friendly and efficient without being constantly at our elbow checking on us. Our table water was kept full as we lingered over our food. read more

A cute small hole-not-so-hole in the wall cafe. This is our first time here We arrived shortly before noon-ish (1100), so the restaurant was a tad empty. There is only street parking, so finding that was no problem. Our server was friendly, and answered all of our questions we had. I ordered the chorizo burrito and the wife ordered the chik'n'waffles. My wife was very impressed and enjoyed the gravy. The burrito was packed and so was my belly after eating it. Overall, the food and our experience was great. read more

We had 3 people and ordered the Brisket Sandwich with fries, Breakfast Burrito with fries, Chikn Waffle with Tofu Scramble on the side, two iced teas, and an iced coffee. We recently introduced my Southern (AL) dad to plant-based proteins and meat substitutes, and he loved the brisket--still can't get over how much like the taste and textures he is used to many can be. My spouse loved the breakfast burrito but didn't finish it. I ordered the Chikn Waffle. I would order with no powdered sugar next time because I feel sick when I eat too much sugar and personally don't add it to anything (this is my fault and they were nice about it, but I do wish places listed if it was on something instead of having to assume it is). They do serve real maple syrup and I only used less than a 1/2 tsp of that. The tofu scramble was good but the ChK'n Waffle was much better than I expected! I've had them all over and was hesitant when I saw the Chik'n, but this was super tasty. I would order again (without the scramble for this dish for me). We are here visiting our son and grandson who recently moved to the area and will be back not only this trip but in the future. Service was excellent! 10/10 recommend! Plus, we like that everyone is super progressive and welcoming. The place was VERY clean (including the bathrooms) and we loved the art and decor. Happy Pride! read more

Went here with my work team to celebrate someone's new job. Off The Griddle has a nice ambiance. They also had plenty of space for our large group. The waitstaff was friendly and patient. All food served was Vegan. I'm not a Vegan but have had better Vegan food that I enjoyed better than what was served here. The food was okay overall, just nothing I'd rush back for. Pictures show what I ordered. I ordered the Brisket Hash and 1/2 Biscuits and Gravy. I did not like the Kale on the Biscuits and Gravy. The Hash was decent. read more

Mostly vegan options, and enough of them to keep you interested and coming back, though if you have a friend who must have eggs, they do have a few things for them, too. There are always people there when I go, but I've never waited either (though haven't yet tried on a Sunday.) read more

I love Off the Griddle. It's my go-to spot for vegan breakfast, and the availability of eggs and cheese make it an easy spot to bring non-vegan friends as well. The only thing I'd say is some dishes need a bit more acid in the food, which is easily solved with hot sauce, but without it I definitely can tell something is missing. This is true of a lot of American diner style food though, so I understand. But I do think they could do a little better with the balance by adding brightness to some of their more heavy on the savory dishes! read more

i normally come here with friends and we all sit in a booth enjoying what we ordered but also looking at the plates to our left and our right wondering if we should have gotten that or that, because there really is no wrong choice on the entire menu. the coffee is like if a computer read the dictionary definition of coffee and then synthesized it: you taste it and think yes that is exactly what coffee is. its not bitter, its not cold, it has no additional flavors, it goes down easy black or with almond milk (or any of those other milks), it is exactly what diner coffee should be. its a great place to come with a group, but i actually find it almost more enjoyable to show up alone and treat yourself to breakfast with a couple add-ons while watching the world disintegrate in real time on your phone. something about sausage gravy and tofu scramble really keeps the horrors at bay. whatever you order, add a chik'n patty. read more

All vegan restaurant with loads of sweet and savory options. We came here for brunch on Saturday and had to wait for about 15 min to get seated. The service itself is pretty quick but finding a table could take some time We ordered the waffles and hastastic for main course and the drumstix and the side of tempeh The Berry waffle is the best of all here ! The drimstix in my opinion are an acquired taste. Didn't like the first one very much but the later didn't feel that bad Overall great place for waffles and has decent coffee. read more

Wow. Yum! Highly recommend the drumsticks! The buffalo mac was pretty good as well. My husband loved the reuben. I thought the waffle was just okay. We returned for more of the drumsticks a couple of days after our first visit! I definitely recommend checking this out. There was plenty of seating when we arrived at the time they opened, however it does fill up fast for weekend breakfast/brunch. They have outdoor seating as well, and it was fun to visit with the dogs other customers brought. The staff was lovely! We will definitely be back next time we are in town. read more

It's a popular place so I recommend coming early or going on a weekday if you can so you don't have to wait long for a table. read more

I've gotta say OTG doesn't let you down. EVERYTHING is consistently good. I forced myself to try something new today and that was the Full Helping. Creamy, cheesy sauce on top of a perfectly seasoned tofu scramble. Hash browns and a crispy delicious sausage patty. Add some spinach and fresh diced tomatoes and you're set. I'm not going to lie, the biscuits are a hard pass for me. But that's a personal preference and I'd rather have toast. My son got the Chk'n Waffles and it's a huge waffle, and a pretty big chunk of Chk'n. I was his designated "food slicer," so I had the obligatory bite of a piece of waffle and a piece of Chk'n. I'll happily say that this is THE best waffle in Portland. That's right. I said it. Amazing. My son, and his tiny six year old belly would also insist that they're the best waffles he's ever had. He didn't just love the waffles though, he loved that Chk'n too! He ate the entire plate!!! And I'll add the Chk'n was excellent. My daughter had the nacho fries, and they were packed with flavor. For me personally, I didn't like that they weren't packed with texture. I don't like just "soft" for my food. Give me creamy and crunchy. Not a bowl of soft. They were good but I'd never order them for lack of texture. My husband had the Blue Plate, which was only different to mine in that he had gravy with his biscuit. The gravy was a hard pass for me too. This was something I remember about OTG, as being from the South, sausage gravy and biscuits doesn't taste anything like this. But this gravy was straight up wrong today. Yes, I'm still giving it a 5 star because it's consistently good. I may not like all the options, but I don't have to eat them either. And everyone IN our family loved what they ate. So this gravy was HEAVY on Thyme. Like someone accidentally dropped the spice jar in and thought it would be okay. NO. No it wasn't. I don't want to finish on a negative so let me say I still and will always love OTG. I love what I've had and I'll be back! read more

Don't have much experience with Vegan brunch places so wasn't sure what to expect but was pretty curious to give it a try and it definitely was a fun time. Seated outside, which was from time to time a little loud from the traffic on the main road, on a rainy Saturday but they have indoor seatings too. The staff helping us was very friendly and helpful. Lots of familiar items on their menu with a vegetarian/vegan twist. Their Feast Waffle was indeed a feast. A full size GF waffle stuffed with hashbrowns, giving a little crunch in some bites, smothered with country gravy and over-medium eggs. You can ask for egg and dairy cheese in place of tofu scramble and vegan cheese. I really enjoyed the gravy, flavorful and creamy but not overwhelmingly heavy. Found bits of mushroom in the gravy which was a nice addition. The eggs were perfectly cooked, oozy and gooey. The texture of the waffle was chewy rather than light and crispy but it did have a good flavor. All in all, an interesting and filling dish. Tried some of my friends' Meatloaf Sandwich and Nashville Hot as well. The Walnut Meatloaf had a good texture and seasoning, same with the Nashville Hot "Chicken". I'd give the Nashville Hot Sandwich a try next time. The food wasn't mindblowingly good but it did make for a fun experience. read more

Really good breakfast with mostly vegan and vegetarian options (yay!). I got the blue plate with eggs, vegan sausage and no biscuit and gravy but substitutes toast and jam. The hashbrowns were my favorite! Excellent combination of crispy and soft and great flavor, esp with some chulula. The eggs were wonderfully fluffy and the vegan sausage patty had something unique about it, which I think was anise seed (?). Whatever it was, I loved it! I'm kind of a jam freak and the jam wasn't my favorite. I think it was strawberry but nothing really special about it, tbh. All of the menu items were really unique and one item was a veggie version of the Taco Bell crunch wrap supreme, so if you like that you should try this one! The restaurant is small and cute with inside and outside options and they don't require vaccination to sit inside. I really liked the hand chair and got to sit in it lol. It was really supportive. Our server was a nice guy named Wendell who was AWESOME! Super sweet and friendly and he had excellent timing with taking the orders, checking in and payment. He even offered to separate out groups checks which was so helpful. read more
