    Biscuit with Spread
    Stephen D.

    Great spot. We grabbed the breakfast to go and it hit the spot. Food: Hash Ups- not our favorite. Heavy and the spice used was not our favorite. Biscuits w/gravy- incredible. Again heavy but we couldn't stop eating it. Biscuit w/spread- a must. Love the marionberry jam. Delicious.

    Apple Butter and Biscuit
    Tully B.

    The mushroom gravy is a warm embrace on a drizzly day, the bacon demanding to be hugged by the Tillamook cheese. Pine State will be busy at peak hours because it is good. On a Sunday at noon we waited a half hour on Division and sat outside (though there was a table inside). Once we counter-ordered the food was out in about 10 minutes. Coffee in hand, we had our local hot sauce waiting. The biscuit is perfect and the apple butter is like elevated apple sauce- eager to be spread. The hash-ups are love. Highly recommend getting a side of gravy to dump on top! This is a larger PSB, but they're still may be a wait as it is in a great location!

    Love everything about this place! Perfect for a morning visit with friends. Everything we tried was phenomenal and not to heavy.

    I've been a raving fan since they opened more than 20 years ago. This is the first time I've "built my own" with pulled pork. I opted for both sausage and mushroom gravy. Wow, this will be a go to order. The staff was friendly as usual. Pine State is a top 3 Portland breakfast spot, hands-down.

    Pine Street Biscuits absolutely lives up to the hype. The biscuits are perfectly flaky, buttery, and hold up beautifully to their generous fillings. What we ordered was unreal--crispy, thick-cut bacon, melty cheese, and rich gravy all stacked on a fresh biscuit. Pure comfort food heaven. The portions are big, the flavors are bold, and everything tastes fresh and made with care. It can get busy, but the line moves quickly and the food is well worth the wait. Staff was friendly and efficient, even during a rush. If you're a biscuit lover or just want an indulgent breakfast/brunch, this place is a must. I'll definitely be back.

    I was up visiting family in Portland and we went to Pine State Biscuits for breakfast. It's very cute and looks kind of rustic on the outside. When you go inside you order at the register and then take a seat. There are lots of seats inside and we were able to grab a table in the back. I built my own biscuit sandwich with egg and cheddar cheese and my partner had The Reggie which is a biscuit with fried chicken, bacon, and cheese topped with gravy. My mom order pancakes and we ordered a plain biscuit just to taste. The biscuits were buttery and flakey, just what you expect. My sandwich was delicious but The Reggie was the star! The friend chicken was perfect and the gravy smooth. My mom also said the pancakes were good. Pine State Biscuits is a fun place to have breakfast! I would come back if I was in the neighborhood.

    Stopped in Portland for brunch on our way back to California and couldn't pass up Pine State Biscuits. This location was the most convenient along our route. It's been a while since my last visit, but the quality and flavor are still just as amazing -- it hits the spot every time. When we arrived, there was no line, but it did take a bit of time for our food to come out after ordering. There's limited indoor seating, but they have a covered patio with more space. FOOD Reggie (5/5): Never disappoints -- the gravy ties everything together perfectly. Chatfield (4/5): The kids enjoyed it. Hash Ups (5/5): Big hit with the kids! Fried Green Tomatoes (5/5): Perfectly crispy and flavorful. Spicy Pimiento Chicken Sandwich (5/5): So good -- definitely recommend! Strawberry Almond Pop-Tart (3/5): My least favorite of the bunch; could've used a bit more flavor. DRINKS Bloody Mary (5/5): One of the best I've had -- perfectly balanced and flavorful. Overall, my family and I very satisfied with the food and service. The only downside is the street parking -- we got lucky getting a spot right in front.

    Took my son to have lunch here and it did NOT disappoint. He ate the BBQ biscuit that had slaw on it. The biscuit was cooked solid enough to withhold the meat but also soft enough to spread jelly on

    Round 2 of coming here due to a strong craving for a biscuit sandwich. We were easily able to order online to avoid stand around and waiting. We arrived and our food was ready. They have a great system for picking up your online orders so we were out of there quickly. They have a great outside eating area which would be very appealing in the warmer months. We had the Reggie with sausage gravy and biscuits and gravy also with sausage gravy. The biscuits truely are amazing and worth the hype. The sausage gravy was also very good with just a hint of spiciness. The chicken and bacon in the sandwich was pretty good as well. I'll definitely return when needing my biscuit fix in the future

    The "Moneyball" before it just disappeared off of the plate.  Sooooooo good!
    Roger R.

    Based upon the reviews I read on Yelp, my wife and I decided to try this place out on our recent trip to Portland. WOW!!!!!!! When we walked in, Lily was there, just waiting to help us out. She gave us some recommendations and we were leaning towards the Reggie, but we both decided to get the Biscuits & Gravy, aka "The Moneyball", with a side of sausage. We knew that we had selected the right thing because Lily's face kind of lit up. When she brought us our orders, she shared a little bit of the history behind the restaurant and went that extra mile to make us both feel warm and welcome. After our firsts bites, we knew we had found a goldmine. The flavors in the sausage gravy are out of this world amazing. We both used that amazing biscuit to scrape up every little bit of that gravy off of the plates. I would highly recommend place.

    It's been a long time since I've been here and I wondered if they're still as good as they used to be. I had just been wanting simple biscuits and gravy for weeks and finally had my chance to get some. Such a big biscuit, so much gravy. Yep, it really is still just solid good. My partner wanted a biscuit sandwich and cheesy grits which were quite satisfying. We weren't planning on a dessert of any kind but when we saw our options we had to try a couple items. Really didn't disappoint.

    Every time I visit Portland, Pine State is a must. The mushroom gravy is insane! I get the biscuit with fried chicken, cheese and bacon... I know sounds like a lot but it's honestly perfect.

    Corn meal blueberry pancakes...just a hint of CM for some toothiness!

    Had some woodworking done at NW Creative on Taylor and on impulse stopped inta' Pine State...OMG sitting there eating blueberry corn meal pancakes it got me thinkin' "This is the kinda joint that makes Portland, Portland!" You're familiar with craft beer, cider, gin but craft biscuits?!?! Freaking awesome! The coffee was excellent and the biscuits with butter and marion berry jam was just whatcha want after some woodworking! Nice warm atmosphere and quick service on a liquid sunshine late autumn day in bridgetown! As Ahnold said, "I'll be Bach!"

Immaculate atmosphere and the exact sort of thing we were looking for for breakfast. We didn't get her name but saw on the receipt her name might have been Davi, she was such a bundle of light and life, so attentive and kind! She immediately gave us wonderful recommendations which we all adored. The table ordered praline bacon to share (do yourself a favor and get this), one ordered the praline bacon waffle, another ordered the bananas foster waffle, and I got the seasonal vegetable hash. We were all in HEAVEN with what we ordered. From the first bite to the last it we were all absolutely stunned by how delicious and well made everything was. I savored every bite as did my compatriots. One gal ordered a couple things to go for her family (huevos rancheros for the hubby and cinnamon rolls for her kiddos) and our waitress Davi recommended they bring out the cinnamon rolls unfired so that she could pop them in the oven when she got home after a short drive. It was such good attention to detail that felt like such a friendly offer. Absolute superstars, the lot of you.

We paired everything with a strong cup of coffee with extra refills, of course. I highly recommend it!

However, now that I've been a few times, I notice little details like "why do the hostesses continue to seat people right next to each other?". There are plenty of other open tables that people could be seated at, but it really eliminated our ability to have a connecting conversation, as it felt like we were a party of 6 with us 2 in the middle!!! And 2 of the people clearly had some personal "issues" going on and were very disruptive. The space is small, but the visual displays of all the artwork make it a talking point conversation. The main artist was on hand & we found ourselves with the opportunity to talk with him while we waited on our food (which took a lot longer than expected). Funny, we ordered 1st & ours came out 10 mins later after everyone else. I decided to go with the Chicken and Waffles, and we also had the shrimp and grits. The food hit on all cylinders, and the only thing that was needed next was to make a move for a cocktail and a little walking in downtown to change it up. Will definitely return, but I will be more direct and vocal about seating that's for sure.

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.

Service is always great at Basilisk and the fried chicken is the kind you think about days later.

    Basilisk is another of those Portland restaurants I regularly visited on work trips to the city in…read morethe 2010s. It's been around 7 or 8 years since my last visit but I remember the fried chicken sandwiches coming with two thick, juicy, fried boneless thighs. I found it difficult to eat more than half a sandwich given the size and excess meat. Usually I would end up pulling one thigh out and saving it for later! I decided to visit again on a recent weekend trip to Portland, arriving for an early dinner at around 4:30 PM. It was surprisingly busy, with at least a quarter of the seats taken in the shared seating pool even though it was so early in the day. Luckily there wasn't a line to order and the food came out within 15 minutes. Fried Chicken Sandwich ($13) - Just as how I remembered, this sandwich is still huge with two breaded and fried thighs on a bed of lightly dressed, crunchy cole slaw. It's really tall and doesn't compress well due to the abundant crunchy elements throughout. There's the bun that's heavily toasted until extremely, almost aggressively, crisp and almost dark golden brown, absolutely doused in butter a la Texas toast. There are house pickles on the bottom bun, very quickly pickled such that it develops no acidity, but changes to that crunchy yet soggy pickle texture. The two chicken thighs are expertly breaded until full of crags and valleys, seasoned well, and fried until crisp. The crispy quality is of a lighter variety rather than a hard crunch, very delicate as compared to a typical flour based fried chicken dredge. The chicken is different from what I remembered. Instead of being juicy full thighs, almost an inch thick at the meatiest, these patties are thin, sad, like a single thigh butterflied and cut into fourths width-wise. The breading is far thicker than the chicken itself - in fact the chicken almost is an afterthought here, completely getting lost in all the breading and everything else in the sandwich. Seriously, look at some of the photos from other Yelpers taken in 2016 and 2017 and compare to my cross section photo. It's a huge difference. I bet it's a cost cutting measure and it certainly isn't an appreciated change. Maybe it's just a sign of the times - while the 2010s air waves thumped with 'All About That Bass," the thick thighs have now unfortunately been 2020s Ozempic zapped. The major downside of the sandwich is surprisingly the bun. It's by far the most dominant component of the sandwich. It's the crunchiest element and the butter flavor completely overwhelms the taste buds. This is why fried chicken sandwiches are usually served on soft and pillowy buns, or at least buns that are only lightly toasted, so the bread can focus on and cradle the crunch element rather than supersede it. This is the first time that I can recall a sandwich where the bun is the dominant entity. (3/5) Dandan Fries ($10) - These fries are deceptively filling. They're really snackable and give a distinct moreish quality. It's like a snack where I absentmindedly keep reaching in the bag for more and suddenly it's completely empty. The fries combine a somewhat lightly fried potato, a delicate crisp on the outside and an extremely fluffy almost fall-apart tender inside, with a nutty, spicy, and mouth tingly mala sauce. The sauce is thick, rich, filled with fatty goodness. It's actually a really good glue, adhering the crushed peanuts on the fries so well, nothing falls off while lifting the fries out of the bowl. I especially love the mini cornichons mixed into the fries. They add just a bit of sweetness and acidity that balances so well with the fatty dandan inspired sauce. Without them, I think the dish would feel far too rich. With them, the fries go down the gullet at a quick rate. (5/5) I can't help but feel a little disappointed at Basilisk. It's another one of those places that seems to have decided to sacrifice quality in order to keep prices relatively low. While I enjoyed the Dandan Fries, I'm not sure that's enough of a draw to get me to revisit. Bathrooms - Four unisex rooms shared with the other establishments in the building.
