Andy Bee

Brilliant diner . Music varied but great and the food very dineresque!!! Worth a trip for the breakfast . Man Cakes sit with you like concrete ????

Leigh Fountain

They don't always have it listed as a special but they'll make it for you if you ask. My favorite: the country Benedict. Hashbrowns , biscuits , poached eggs , sausage , and gravy on top. So good!!

roxanna thomas

Great little cafe . Food was awesome! Great service! So glad we made the stop. Burgers , Greek salad and meatloaf were all delicious! Oooh and mimosas !

Stacy Bo Bacy

The mancakes are ridiculously big and there's no way I could ever eat more than one. The service is stellar here and so are the boozey beverages.

Vahid J

Absolutely love their breakfast potatoes . Famous for their “mancakes ,” don’t miss out on the great scrambles and other breakfast entrees.

The BigB

Just really good diner-food. Huge portions (Mancakes !), excellent staff and good vibes. Highly recommended.

May just be Portland's best greasy spoon. Huge portions , solid diner food , BREAKFAST ALL DAY. Great old school attitude & atmosphere.

Bella Porter

Don't forget the milkshake !!! Strawberry , chocolate , banana/walnut with whipped cream is delicious! But get what every you want as all fruit , etc is FRESH!!

Deneb Catalan

First time? If you see a line , head straight for the clip-board on the left side of the front entrance and write your name down. You'll be glad you did. 

Sultan

Get the chicken fried steak with hollandaise sauce instead of gravy . You're welcome!

Nicole Kasten

Breakfast all day. Tasty pumpkin pancakes available seasonally. Good and simple bloody Mary .

Lori Speis

The omlettes and mancakes were amazing! But I was very disappointed with the hash browns . Still worth a visit.

JC

The portions are huge, four guys could barely finish what we ordered. Long lines but just get there early ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Paul Sailer

Banana nut bread french toast . Better than the mancakes (which are still good).

Anna Ross

Great little place, open late ! Weird rock music , damn good omlets

Talia Goldberg

Man up and try the 13+ inch "Mancakes ." Or anything... huge portions , good food, awesome diner . Go for brunch but be prepared for a wait on the weekends!

Cheapism

Think of three fluffy pancakes , each as big as the plate they come on. At $4.50, the Man-cakes are a steal, and include massive biscuits that are a meal themselves. Read more

Best diner food , hands down. Cheap too! Try the avoburger.

Travel Channel

Can you handle the “mancakes ?” Adam tried this epic stack of 13-inch pancakes . As seen on Travel Channel’s Man v. Food Nation.

Raven

Mancakes ! (With real maple syrup of course.)

Brian C.

Food good. Bloody Mary good. Service kind of half and half but the food and drink make up for it.

Eric Sabo

Counter is first come, first serve....meaning no or short wait !

Dave Carbon

If your fat like me.Wait for a table. Booths are made for tooth pick people

Christian Baker

SE quirk in NW. A little more spendy than similar joints, though.

Karen H

Great basic food, good service

Saultite

Cool retro ! Great service, good food!

H K

Mancakes were good but not especially amazing.

Ell Bradshaw

If you're coming late, be aware that the kitchen shuts down about a half-hour before close.

Marion Davis

Banana bread was orgasmic.

David Beach

Great for dinner . Never crowded .

Pancakes for two? Order a 'short stack ' and ask for two plates. 

Dorena

Kaitlin Siemering

Banana Nut Bread French Toast !!!!

Coffee and sumthin' sumthin' is sumthin' else! Love it!

PDX Pipeline

Stepping Stone chicken fried steak & eggs is pretty good, but comes with about twice as much gravy as I need.

Amber C.

Portland 1.0. You'll love it.
