    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

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.

Located on a busy corner, but with plenty of outdoor seating, Lardo is a good place to have lunch on a Saturday. I have nothing to say about the parking sitch. My daughter and I shared the Willamette Reuben and her friend ordered the Italian Flag. We shared the Lardo fries. Oh man, the Reuben was perfection! The flavor of the meat and everything on the sandwich, from texture to flavor--chef's kiss! We heard that the Italian Flag was excellent too. Definitely, you can share a sandwich especially if you're having fries. The fries were delicious--crispy and flavorful on the outside, perfectly hot and mushy on the inside. Yum!

There's also plenty of seating outside and covered tent seating. It took about 12-15 minutes for the food to be served which was ideal.

I got the small Smasher without pickles and with grilled onions and split small fries with my sister. The burger came to the table with pickles but easy to remove on my own. The flavor of the burger was delicious after a long day of walking. The ingredients tasted very fresh. The fries were a good thickness and had a beer battered taste. I love that there's a ketchup bottle for you at the table. You can also grab ketchup packets and other sauces near the fountain drink station. The towel roll at the tables was great. Didn't have to get up and get napkins. The food arrived within 10 minutes of seating. Water cups are available. If you're feeling adventurous you can try the Peanut Butter Pickle Bacon burger. There's two restroom stalls. One of them needed to be cleaned but the employee at the counter was kind enough to warn me. Code is needed to enter the restrooms. There's a changing station, manual flush toilet, automatic towel dispenser, and changing station. The employees were chill and seemed to have a good relationship with each other.
