    Off the Griddle popped up on our search for vegan brunch and was recommended to us by a friend that lives in Portland. We liked it so much the first time that we came back a second time! We were promptly greeted and seated, our servers were friendly and attentive, and the space was comfortable and cozy. One thing we did note both visits was there were a lot of little flies that we had to swat away from our meal. Not a fan of that, but hopefully they can take care of that by the time we make it back to Portland. ;) Their menu is extensive, offering many gluten free options. They also offer eggs if you prefer that over tofu. We only got to try their breakfast items, but I'd love to come back for lunch! First visit: Breakfast burito: 10/10. From flavor of the herb tofu to the portion (perfect to share between the two of us), everything about this burrito was perfect and all we could have wanted. Basic B waffle: 7/10. I can appreciate that the waffles are all GF. The blue cornmeal made as a good base, but I felt a little underwhelmed, but can't quite put a finger on what could have made it better. Second visit: Biscuits & gravy: 8/10. with GF bisuit and tofu scramble. A winning combo! The biscuit was on the dryer side, but the gravy did its job. The scramble tasted a little off, so a bit bummed about the inconsistency. Blue plate: 9/10. The non GF biscuit was much better. My wife ate this one and she was very happy with her meal. All in all, super happy with our meals here. Would 1000% recommend and plan to return again!

    I have a vegan friend that I enjoy going out to lunch with. She lives in N. Portland and wanted to go somewhere close that she hadn't been to before. Off The Griddle fit the bill! I had been to their other location quite some time ago. I hadn't been to the one on Alberta. I was worried about parking, but found a spot nearby. We were greeted warmly upon entering. Everything on the menu looked delicious! I settled for the Meatloaf Benedict without the biscuit. My friend ordered the Goddess Bowl. I loved the Meatloaf Benedict, it's what I consider comfort food! I had a taste of my friend's Goddess Bowl and it was good too! I would love to return again soon!

    First of the service was extraordinary. We were greeted with a smile amd pur server Michelle was so sweet, kind, and knowledgable. Now to talk about the food. As a foodie and vegetarian I have never been so satisfied. We had to order everything!! I highly recommend the cinnamon Roll!!!! Everything is fantastic.

    *Non-vegan review* I wasn't really planning on trying this place as it's a brunch place which is already my least favorite "cuisine" and am not vegan but kind of got dragged here but was pleasantly surprised w/ the experience. They've got a lot of vegan versions of classic brunch fare mostly using tempeh, jackfruit & seitan for meat subs & also tofu scrambles but u can request real eggs instead. Not sure what they use for the fake sausage patties but am curious. By server suggestion I opted for Brunchwrap Supreme (Crunchwrap) instead of the Nashville Hot "Chik'n" as he said they used jackfruit which didn't sound like a good texture to me. The "chorizo" was pretty good tho. And I like their fries too, thin like McDonald's (which is a high compliment). We also tried the Feast Waffle which was a blue cornmeal waffle stuffed with/ hashbrowns & topped with/ tofu scramble & gravy. Very hearty & filling. Pretty good vegan food & they also have some interesting coffee cocktails.

    Vegan! Blue Plate.

    My visiting parents (omnivores) & I (vegan) decided to try the new Alberta location of Off The Griddle today & were treated to flavorful, well-portioned food given the prices with a variety of homemade sauces. I thoroughly enjoyed the Blue Plate. The biscuit & gravy was very tasty without being overly salty or heavy. The tofu scramble component was one of my favorite tofu scrambles I've had from a restaurant. My father enjoyed his vegan Reuben & side salad with homemade ranch dressing. My mother enjoyed her BLT as well, particularly noting the flavor of the tempeh & the homemade "honey" mustard as her favorite components. I'm very happy to have an all-vegetarian, mostly vegan (dairy cheese & eggs are the only non-vegan items) breakfast/brunch/lunch option a quick bus trip away as finding places with multiple vegan options for breakfast/brunch specifically is a little harder to find in Portland than our extensive lunch/dinner options. I look forward to more visits &/or deliveries via DoorDash from Off The Griddle!

    Went here for lunch and our server, Max, was so attentive and patient with my friend who is mentally challenged. Also the buffalo drummies ROCK. Good vibes all around

We took the bus here and it was close to a bus stop, and I think there's also street parking available as well.

Since it was my first time, I asked the staff for a recommendation. They suggested the bibimbap and mentioned it was on the spicy side, which I was totally okay with. While their cocktails looked really tempting, I ended up getting a Mexican Coke, and I loved that they had it. The bibimbap was absolutely delicious. It had so many different flavors and textures, and somehow they all worked perfectly together. The waiter also suggested mixing everything together before taking the first bite, which I really appreciated. The ambiance was super cute, with a cozy little tiki-bar vibe inside, and they also have a few outdoor tables. The service was exceptional throughout. This is an easy 5-star review from me.

They have a huge section of gluten-free items, so this is a mecca for people with gluten or dairy allergies.

Nothing on the menu is expensive, especially considering the labor to prepare such complex vegan versions of an already laborious cuisine. I'll definitely return next time I'm passing through town.

We came by on a weeknight around 6 pm and were able to squeeze into a table. I will say, this is my own fault for not noticing when we sat down, but we chose a table closer to the bathroom and I did not enjoy how it was left open with no sort of division or curtain to close off the area. I didn't enjoy seeing it or smelling the bathroom soap with my meal which was a bummer. The interior is a whole vibe otherwise and the decorations are so vibrant. You can order at the counter or via QR code and we opted for that for ease. We grabbed 2 of the empanadas, the asada burrito w/guacamole added, and 2 tacos (al pastor and frijoles). Listen I will dream about that delicious burrito for ages. The asada was so freakin delicious and the crispy crunchy bits were to die for; I literally fought my husband for the last bites. The tacos were also good and I enjoyed them both but the frijoles won over the al pastor. The empanadas were a miss for us though; the elote one was better than the potato and soyrizo but even then, the texture of the actual empanada was off and I just did not enjoy it. I'm sure they have had more of a crowd given their recent shout out (which is well deserved and should be celebrated!) but it legitimately took over 30 min for us to get any single item of food. We got a limonada which took ~15 min to come out then the food itself hit the table at about ~35 min with one item still missing. I want to give some grace to the extremely hardworking team and it was evident that they had a ton of to go/takeout orders, but maybe they can hit a balance between those and people dining in. They did seem spread very thin across the evening. I literally dreamt about that burrito on a subsequent day sooo you know I will be back. I was also so sad to not have their giant fries with delicious toppings because there was no way we could tackle that with everything we ordered, so definiiitely find me at Mis Tacones again. All in all, go support a wonderful local business serving up plant-based Mexican dishes.

Nice texture with the cornmeal crust and had a nice subtle seafood flavor. The sauces were all good and I enjoyed dipping in all of them. Although I did find the remoulade sauce to be a bit bland compared to the other sauces. It was still good though. I enjoyed the mashed potatoes and gravy. They were very rich with a nice texture. The greens were also tasty and cooked well. My friend got the bbq ribs with rice and beans. The rib was nice. Not what I was expecting it to look like, but the bbq sauce was tasty and had some nice smoke taste coming through. The rice and beans were simple and good. I ordered the chicken bacon ranch sandwich. It was very delicious! I was surprised by how much flavor the fried chicken had. I couldn't eat all of it and ended up eating the rest cold for dinner the next day and somehow it tasted even better! All in all we had a great experience. The service was friendly and quick. The space was clean and charming. I loved all of the hot sauce and condiment options. I love this place and will definitely be back.

I am vegan while my friend is not and we had no struggle finding options that suited our needs. What stood out: Service: The staff was knowledgable and checked in on us frequently. Our food only took about 20 minutes to come out despite a busy dinner rush and we were offered chili flakes to spice up our curries. was incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. Food: For the table, we ordered the samosas which were perfectly flaky and filled with fresh veggies. I ordered the ruby garden non alcoholic beverage as well as the tofu curry with coconut rice. Every bite and drink of what I ordered tasted unique and made with intention. The samosas were incredible dipped into what tasted like a sweet and sour chili sauce. My tofu curry and coconut rice had a delightful blend of textures and tasted like no other curry I have ever had before. Ambiance: The atmosphere is so cozy with Burmese decor alongside dim lighting. It is perfect for a date night or catching up with a friend. Overall, I will be returning to Top Burmese to enjoy more of their vegan friendly curries and appetizers!

It was my first time coming here, and I had a lot of questions about the menu to the point where I could feel myself becoming annoying (face palm). The gal taking my order was Jessi, she was so helpful, kind, knowledgeable, accommodating, and authentically friendly. I can't remember what it was that we shared a laugh about, but I walked away happy because of that type of simple interaction that restores your faith in humanity. People who have never worked in the service industry are generally clueless and walk into a restaurants like it's their first day on earth. But even with my string of annoying questions, she never once made me feel like I was being a nuisance. Whoever is in charge here you should give Jessi a raise.

I love chocolate and peanut butter together esp with coffee but their drink was inedible with an awful taste. Maybe they gave me almond butter by mistake. Woof I couldn't even force it down. The quesadilla was incredibly greasy and nothing like a quesadilla. The mouth feel of the walnut chorizo with the soft vegetables was weird / it felt gritty. The flavors fell as well. The only highlight was the salsa but I'm 90% sure it was salsa de welo which you can buy at a store. No one would finish my quesadillas at the table. Major miss for me.
