    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

    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

    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 :)

    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 :)

    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

    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.

    Blue Plate & Brunch Wrap Supreme
    Mia H.

    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!

    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.

    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!

Corn Ribs were very tasty as well. I'd say very inspired by a LA Elote from the elote man. Service was great. Really sold me on getting this combo as it was Their favorites.

Between the genuinely friendly hospitality and the flavor combinations, this spot hits it out of the park and is a must for sandwich lovers. Griddled Mortadella (5/5): An incredibly delicious sandwich that perfectly balances rich, salty, and savory flavors. 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. It had a generous portion of perfectly tender and sweet bulgogi steak that pairs with their melted jack cheese. The gochujang mayo sauce had a subtle and sweet heat, while the fresh kimchi added crunch and slight acidity to balance the rich meat. Elote Tater Tots (5/5): Definitely a creative side dish. The tots were perfectly fried and topped elote style with cotija cheese, pairing well with the smoky chipotle mayo on the side. Logistics Tip: Street parking is surprisingly easy to find in the surrounding area, even on a busy weekend evening. The restaurant has a spacious layout with plenty of seating options both inside and outside. If you're a first-timer, don't hesitate to ask the staff for suggestions, as they're exceptionally warm, welcoming, and passionate about the menu.
