    Me!
    Talisa M.

    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.

    Chorizo Burrito
    Brittany M.

    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

    Stuffed Feast Waffle
    Anthony L.

    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 :)

    Very veggie weekly special mac. Hope this becomes a regular menu item because it is insanely delicious.

    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 :)

    Hashtastic with scrambled tofu, added pickled onions
    Casey M.

    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.

    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!

    buckwheat waffles are purple
    Dan R.

    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!

    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.

    Berries & Cream Waffle
    Jasmine G.

    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.

    Full Mess

    Stopped in for breakfast and really enjoyed everything we ordered! So good. Both plates had great flavor. Also loved the calm ambiance.

    I recommend eating the waffle like a pizza!
    Jennifer U.

    This place! I hadn't eaten here in a couple of years and it's still just as incredible as always. Very friendly staff and we'll look at the pics of the berry waffle! Vegan foodgasm

We decided on outdoor patio seating since the weather was nice & it was generally quieter outside. We were people watching for a bit and noticed that our fellow restaurant goers were waiting for quite a bit, but we weren't in a hurry, so it was fine. When our waiter eventually tended to us, he was incredibly friendly & apologetic, owning up to the delay being on him, but we were cool with it -poor guy was working a double shift. We started off with deep-fried okra, I ordered the fried chicken meal, & hubby ordered the burger. I got to pick the chicken pieces I wanted, so I went with 2 thighs, thinking they'd be smaller pieces, so I could maybe finish my meal. I opted for collard greens as well. The food came relatively quickly and was super-fresh. The fried okra bits were piping hot down to the last bite. They went well with the spicy aioli. We hung onto the aioli so hubby could dip his fries. My meal was so good. The chicken was incredibly tender and flavorful. The batter was just perfect and crisp. Mashed potatoes were smooth and creamy. Gravy was rich and well-seasoned. Collard greens were so tasty. The balance of textures was just perfection. I ended up having to pack up a piece of chicken because it was so much food, but I enjoyed every bite I was able to take of my meal. I appreciated their welcoming vibe & the beautiful pride balloon arch inside the restaurant. I appreciated the friendly service. I appreciated the thoughtfully and expertly made food.

After trying several restaurants during our trip to Portland, this was one of the places I was most excited to visit because of all the hype. Unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to my expectations. The service was good, but it wasn't especially memorable or exceptional. Overall, I'd describe the experience as average. I wouldn't make a special trip across town or plan a vacation around eating here, but if you're already in the area, it's worth giving it a try. Everyone's taste is different, and you may end up enjoying it more than I did.

Everything we ordered was gorgeous and whimsical in presentation, but of course that would mean little without the flavors to back it all up, which it had in spades. The Thai steak tartare tostadas were incredibly balanced, with brightness and herbaceous notes from the vegetables, herbs, and sauce, great punch from the Thai spices, richness from the tartare, and a nice snap and slight nuttiness from the tapioca crisps cradling everything underneath. The foie gras dumplings were simply divine. I expected them to be rich and dense, but they were like little pillows, with a savory filling and a perfect balance of smoked leek broth, crispy fried leeks, and a caramelized shallot jam that ended up being the surprise star of the dish for me. Then came the main event, the Duck Stack, which I can only describe as a McGriddle on steroids (in the best possible way!). Somehow it all worked beautifully, with the rich duck gravy, fluffy pancakes drenched in syrup, spiced onions, and a fried duck egg tying everything together in perfect harmony. It was one of those dishes that sounds wild on paper but is totally brilliant on the plate and in your mouth. Really fantastic meal from start to finish, and I'm already excited to come back to try more of the menu (and the happy hour!) on a future visit.

Vibe wise, the ambience is overall really nice. I think having rolled flatware, even with just upgraded napkins, would better complete the aesthetic you initially see and feel. This would also connect with the price point of the food and quality of the beverages. As a fellow server, on that note I would expect more consistent stronger visual appearance standards with servers. (Sorry guys! But some of you looked great!) Overall, I'd definitely join a friend for coffee and lunch over there in the future. Just wouldn't be my top pick for a celebratory brunch or intimate dinner with a date or friends and fam.

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.
