This is a stunning burger…read more I have come here an embarrassing amount of times since moving back to Portland. The first time I came alone, just a little hungry and a lot broke. So I got the $6 little pleasure burger. A simple, single patty smash burger. It's everything a McDonald's burger wishes it could be - beefy and drippy, a squishy, slightly sweet bun, oozing hot grease without being heavy, lacy and crisp edges, and held together with the right amount of American cheese. It was the perfect amount for that day. Then I returned with my date. Twice. And he brought his coworkers for lunch because he liked it so much. I have had the western and the mushroom burger since, as well as the parm and chive waffle fries. They have nuggets and I'm inclined to believe they're great. The staff is great, it's a small team and they're all there every single day. They care about their product and your experience. The space is a simple counter, not good for large groups. It should be noted that even though their burgers would be great with a beer, they don't seem to have a liquor license! So don't expect an IPA with that shroom burger. Maybe someday!

While I am quite a devotee of properly executed casual fare like artisanal pizzas and burgers, I…read morerarely, if ever, find myself compelled to publish public commentary. However, my afternoon excursion into Downtown this Saturday was so thoroughly delightful that I felt an absolute duty to share my experience for my premier review. The central district was beautifully bustling for the weekend, yet the establishment maintained an air of effortless hospitality. The staff members were remarkably friendly a quality I find immensely pleasing. I escorted myself to an excellent, highly comfortable seat to survey the room. The waitress promptly presented a refreshing beverage, and we engaged in a brief, lovely conversation. She was entirely charming and attentive. While the menu's selections were somewhat more conservative in scale than I had initially anticipated, it was perfectly curated with solid, classic options. For my luncheon, I selected the Portland Burger. The kitchen executed the order with commendable timing, presenting the dish precisely thirteen minutes later. The presentation was grand an impressively large, substantial burger composed of a beautifully toasted bun, premium meat, and impeccably prepared onion rings. The entire experience was an absolute treat. I am thoroughly enamored with this exciting Downtown find and shall most certainly be returning

This was an incredible introduction to the Portland food scene, delivering some of the best…read moresandwiches I've ever had. 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.

I've only been to the Lardo in PDX (is it still there?), so I felt like I needed to give the brick…read moreand mortar a chance because, let's face it, the one in PDX is meh. We walked down here on a beautiful day after wedding deletes shopping, so spirits were high. 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!

I've visited this location in the past but was able to dine in this time around. The guy who was…read moreworking the cashier was in a terrible mood but shrug We ordered at the front, took our number post and found an open table inside. The water is serve yourself which I actually prefer. There wasn't a ton of seating on the cashier level but there is more seating upstairs which we did not visit to take a look at. 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. While we were waiting, one of the employees started sweeping a rug outside the kitchen but wasn't even making contact with the bristles and the rug? Must've been on that zaza I ordered the Morrison and tried the Steel this time around. I have to say, I'm going to ditch the chicken next time and go with the Steel!! I also tried the sellwood and I have to say, both are really tasty. Me and my wife wanted to try a new burger spot initially having already been here before but the lack of open options were lackluster so we chose to come to a spot where we knew would suffice!

I tried the portobello mushrooms, goat cheese, balsamic tomato and arugula on a fluffy ciabatta bun- delicious. My husband had two sliders with roasted jalapeño and pickles- very juicy and charred - another delicious find! Everyone was very friendly and the space was clean. Especially loved the open windows and bar seating.

I didn't expect to find good BBQ outside of the south, but this was a pleasant surprise!…read moreAnd honestly, it shouldn't come as a surprise because the food in Portland is some of the best in the country. IMO. This BBQ is Kansas City style, so the sauce is a bit sweeter. We got the brisket, the chicken wings, and sides. We couldn't decide if on the sauce for the wings, so we got all 3 on the side. The Alabama white sauce was A+ The brisket was perfectly tender. It had great flavor and marbling. The wings are full wings with the drummette attached. That's the way to do it! They are smoked and then fried. They got the crisp just right. Let's talk about sides! We got the collard greens, coleslaw, and baked beans. They were all FANTASTIC! The coleslaw is a vinegar coleslaw, which I love. It wasn't the sweet mayonnaise style that most people don't enjoy. It was so good! The collard greens were perfectly flavored and tender! I couldn't have done better myself. The beans were sweet but also savory. Not super sweet, which makes me happy. Very well balanced. The server was super friendly and nice. She explained everything to us and made sure we were happy. They have a bar with various beers. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Very casual but perfect for BBQ. Highly recommend you try this spot!

Why are they serving food on a plastic tray with a piece of waxed paper? Why am I paying $70 for two people to eat lunch, and they can't even give us plates? Also- I know that rolls of non-absorbent paper on the table is quaint, but it's tacky and wastes more paper than an actual NAPKIN- the kind offered to adults at dine-in restaurants. C'mon - do better. Staff was friendly & was willing to turn down the music. I don't see how this place could possibly be wheelchair accessible.

The amazing fact about this place is that it is a dedicated gluten-free facility. I saw a few…read morereviews where people got mad when they were prohibited from having gluten items inside. As someone with an intolerance and not an allergy, I can understand why this is a problem. The gluten-free beer is also quality. I like the fact I can make my own flight at $3 for a 4-oz pour. I wanted to try all of them, but I had to drive, so I settled on four of them to sample. All of them hit my palate and made me want even more. Which I did buy some to go and enjoy at home. I did not order any food but I will say that everything looked and smelled delicious. This was a beer budget outing only this time. Next time I plan to order some food as well. The parking is hit or miss in this area, but it was probably easier than most days as it was a holiday weekend and a Sunday.
