The Hotdogs were phenomenal and elevated and the speakeasy had a laid-back atmosphere.

Drinks were also top notch

Nice enough place... Almost like a bar you can bring your kids to? Not a lot of places to get a hot dog and they have a full menu of big Costco sized dogs for a not unreasonable amount of money. I had the burger on Texas toast and it came with fries for $13, however some of the hot dogs were $12-13 which is good if they came with fries but they don't, they come with chips, fries are 4 more dollars and are grocery store variety crinkle cuts... Not sure why the burger is cheaper than a hot dog... The burger was pretty good. My family seemed to enjoy their hot dogs. We had a couple beers that were good but not cheap by any means. It's not overpriced but the place has kind of a bargain feel, I think I would have liked it more it was like a "wow that was cheap experience". If you're gonna charge $12-13 for a hot dog include fries or maybe a 2 dollar upcharge 4 bucks is too much for a hand full of crinkle cuts. Lottery cheapens the place a bit and makes it feel more like a bar than it should. It's not a bad place.

Kid-friendliness: Kids allowed and there are some arcade games.

Needed food so I stopped in and had a delicious cheeseburger that came with fries and got the jalapeno poppers too. The food was made perfectly and their ranch is homemade so it’s amazing! The owner was working and was such a great conversationalist. The down stairs is a beautiful speakeasy that I’ll definitely have to check out. Highly recommend this place to everyone-kids are allowed until 7!

If you haven't stopped in to try one of the amazing hotdogs, or burgers your missing out. My second Sunday having the SMASH burger! Amazing and consistently great.

My daughter recently mentioned "Helfer's on 3rd". My wife and I stopped in for lunch. My being a fan of hot dogs I ordered one with all the trimmings. The bun was crisp, the dog was fat and juicy and the condiments just right. I also had their homemade recipe tortilla soup and found it very good. My wife enjoyed a Ceasar Salad.

The owner mentioned the after 4:00 p.m. (check for days) "Speak Easy" located downstairs. The space decorated with vintage furniture and well stocked bar capture the era perfectly. This is the great place for couples or small groups to meet. This "Step back in time" is well worth the visit. The "Speak Easy" space can be booked in advance for private parties!

Parking: Ample parking especially for all hours.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access for wheelchairs, and restaurant is kid friendly

My family and I came in after attending the Gresham farmers market and had such a delicious meal! They have an amazing chicken fried steak with potatoes for only $7! Not to mention breakfast is served all day! Definitely recommend coming in with the family!

What a great new addition to Gresham!

I genuinely don’t understand the low reviews.. maybe people didn’t give them grace during their opening months? Many reviews mention the food… I’m picky and love the food!

We’ve been a few times and really enjoy it. It can be a little slow if they’re busy on a Saturday market morning, but the quality of the food makes up for it. The best time is a few hours after the market ends.

Get a side salad with ranch, you won’t regret it. The ranch is incredible. Chicken strips are very very good, more of a panko breading than a batter which I prefer and the chicken is so tender. The burgers are great too. Meat isn’t overly gamey and you can never go wrong with the crinkle fries! The coney sauce is delicious too.

Good assortment of video poker. We haven’t tried the speakeasy and when we do I’ll update my post.

Food and service started out good and started going down hill fast. New waitress every visit. Flat sodas, under cooked fries, hair in salad, cook didn't know how to cook overeasy eggs and came scrambled first order and redone came Sunnyside and burned on bottom. Waited way too long for food. One visit I had to look for a waitress after seating ourselves and waiting for 15 minutes. Dead bugs on window ledge. Too bad owner doesn't fix issues.

Breakfast was cheap and you get what you pay for. Everything including drinks were below average. Don't go if you care at all about quality.

We had a booster meeting for football there last week and they were super accommodating and I personally love the Mac Dog (I think that’s what it’s called) so tasty!! Thank you!!

Parking: You can park on the street or in the lot.

Kid-friendliness: The menu is kid friendly I didn’t look at it through kid eyes as my boys are all almost grown.

The service was wonderful and the server was kind, but the food was not worth the price at all. The chicken fried steak was very small and the gravy was flavorless. The pretzel sticks themselves were great, but the cheese dip tasted old, and we only got two sticks for $8. We ordered poppers for $8.50, and you could taste that they were frozen for awhile beforehand--very similar to the taste of TGI Fridays poppers.
