“My wife and I had a fantastic brunch at Ovation. Try the Bloody Mary - delicious! I had the Eggs Benedict and my wife had the Pancakes. Both were expertly prepared. Romano has created a cute comfortable café experience where he treats his guests like family. We enjoyed the great meal and the experience and we'll definitely be back.”
“I've eaten smoked meats all my life, but this food is unlike anything I have ever had. No disrespect to my own father, but the people behind these smoked foods are incredible and GENIUS. I am beyond impressed with the flavor of each item I had the privilege of trying out. First I'll start with the brisket slider. Just based off the smell I knew I was going to be blown away. I was immediately on a joyride of flavor with my first bite. The perfect amount of smoke flavor, combined with the juiciness of the meat, as well as the crunch from the slaw made that slider absolutely to die for. The potato wedges are a MUST. The rub that's on them is unlike any flavor I've had on wedges before. Dipped in their ranch makes for the perfect bite every time. I had to try a bite of my partner's burnt ends slider and that was EVEN BETTER. I'm a huge fan of fatty meat and this was just loaded with flavor. If I could try a slider with a piece of brisket and pork belly burnt end mixed, I'm pretty sure I would truly be at peace in life. By the time I was finished with my slider and wedges I was more than satisfied and full, however I had to find out what their smoked key lime pie was like. I'm not a key lime pie fan, but holy smokes this was an extremely delicious pie. The smoke, lime, and creaminess of the filling is the absolute perfect balance of flavor. The crust brings it all together to give you a subtle sweet flavor and bit of crunch throughout your whole bite. I truly could go on and on about this food and I definitely need to try every item on the menu in the future. The staff here is worth a whole other paragraph of positive words. Immediately being greeted by friendly voices who seemed happy that we were there was very comforting. Excellent counter service when taking our order and even came back out multiple times to check on how we were doing! Absolutely beautiful vibe and chill music on, highly recommend for a quick bite or a nice dinner!! Grateful I found this place!”
“I highly recommend this spot. Amazing food and great service. I’m so glad the came to the neighborhood. Fresh ingredients as well. I didn’t have their pho today but I will say it’s amazing as well!”
“Cool place with good food and excellent cocktails. Awesome sound system. This is a hi-fi bar. If you’re not into hi-fi audio, this may not be the place for you.”
“This place has become a generational family tradition. It's definitely got more of my business since mikes drive in is closed still. Usually we order up some long dogs and head down to meldrum bar park to watch the RC cars. Love it here, always friendly staff and good food!Parking: Parking can be limited but opens up quickly.Kid-friendliness: My son loves this place!”
“Without a doubt, one of the best pizza places in all of Portland. If you havent tried it out, you are seriously missing out! Awesome staff too! We tend to prefer the smaller 10 inch pizzas over the larger ones. Enjoy!!”
“Quiet little place, kind of hidden between some other places. The food was AMAZING, the service we received was excellent. Portion size is decent. Small menu with limited choices, but the perfect find on a Sunday afternoon.”
“The food is phenomenal. Consistently delicious every single time. I'm gluten free and have never had a problem. Service is excellent.Dietary restrictions: Gluten freeParking: Lots of shared parking between a few buildings. Never have trouble with parking.”
“Delicious food and courteous and friendly service. I recommend the Larb. I had the Penang Curry level 4 spicyness. Thought the spice level was spot on. This was my first time here and I can’t wait to come back and try more.”
“Had the drunken noodles with fried tofu/veg, chicken pad Thai, beef salad and sticky rice mango. Everything was delicious. Glad to have this restaurant so close by!”
“Wow wow wow wow! The potato wedges are amazing. Especially the fact that they’re gluten-free! I ordered their special Masego chicken burger on a lettuce wrap and it is spectacular. My partner ordered the pesto, chicken burger. I love that they have a pile of pickles as a side dish. I like to see a food cart that has this many options for people with dietary restrictions. I will definitely be back.Edit- next trip I had three beets to the wind (chicken) which was amazing and my partner had chicken cordon blue which he loved. The potatoes were a bit overcooked this time but still yummy.Vegetarian options: They have a housemaid gluten-free dairy, free lentil pattyDietary restrictions: Lots of options for people with gluten sensitivities”
“Took my family here for dinner not knowing what to expect, and came away blown away. Food was off the charts and the server Celena was very kind to my toddler who can be a bit loud. Great experience. New fave Hawaiian food spot!”
“Christen is so awesome! She always is so fun and friendly, we really enjoy coming in when she's working! She always makes our day a little brighter. Pro tip: the chicken strips are to die for And the video lottery is always hot!”
“Decided to try this place since it's kind of close to my work, and all the other sushi places around have been kind of disappointing (either too expensive or lacking quality). I got a California roll and an order of gyoza - calling it in was more cost effective than using Grub Hub/Door Dash etc. Service was super fast, prices AWESOME, and food was delicious! So much so, I ordered it two days in a row. Very impressed with this place, and I will without a doubt be back again.”
“10/10, honestly best breakfast I’ve had in Portland so far! Perfect brisket hash with peppers, amazing biscuit with jam (better than the big bfast places here) and to top it all off this place is cheap! Amazing work folks, you’re killing it. I’ll definitely be back!”
