What a great spot. They never disappoint. Just be ready to wait a bit for a table on the weekend. Plus a full bar!

The service was good, the food on the other hand was all bland. I got a n egg sandwich with roasted red potatoes. The potatoes were roasted dry and seasoned after the fact. They were so dry it was hard to swallow. The bread was fine but the cheese had no flavor and was rubbery, the sausage had no flavor the egg was fine but not seasoned. For the price it was a ridiculously sad meal. My son got an omelette and again the cheese was rubbery and congealed, no flavor at all. I’d never come back. In fact almost everyone around us still had food on their plate and no one was choosing to take it to go.

Had high hopes for this place after looking on yelp, but the colossal biscuits and gravy fell short. Not enough season in the gravy and the sausage links were a bit unappealing. Service was good, polite staff and the overall vibe for the restaurant was nice.

Best Portuguese fried rice I have ever had!

How I heard of this place: Visiting Portland for the umpteenth time, we happened across a Visitor's Center that suggested Cheryl's for breakfast, as it has "something for everyone". We decided to give it a go! Type of cuisine: A mixed genre menu. A "New American restaurant & cafe situated in the heart of downtown Portland". Everything from Portugese fried rice to waffles, eggs benny and scrambles, the space does have something for everyone. A special weekend brunch menu is also available. Ambiance: "Its beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows, quaint charm, and delicious cuisine make it a hot spot for foodies all around. Get here early to guarantee your seat and complimentary light, fluffy beignets." The corner spot is spacious and fun, whimsical Easter decorations took over the entire restaurant! Seating seems plentiful, but the place is bustling from 8:30 in the morning onward. Streams of diners, some in business attire, others with family and friends stopped in for a drink and treat or a meal. Staff is always working, running back and forth with orders, food, etc. What I ordered: Prior to ordering, we were offered one beignets each, warm and freshly fried. After selecting our beverages, a mocha ($4.75) for me and a caramel oat milk latte ($4.50+) for my husband, as well as two small apple juices ($4 each). I selected Ed's Scramble ($16.75) - eggs, extra large roasted vegetables, caramelized onion, spinach, cheddar and jack cheeses, sour cream and ranchero sauce; the Portugese Fried Rice ($16.95) for my husband - Linguica sausage over bacon-and-egg fried rice with green onion and avocado; a Fried Egg Sandwich ($17.25) for our third diner - Bacon, ham or sausage with fried egg and cheddar, served with cheesy hash browns or roasted red potatoes. Consuming raw or under-cooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish or eggs may Increase your risk of food-borne illness, and two sides of crispy bacon ($4.50 each). What I loved: The fried rice was amazing! It was perfectly seasoned and hearty. My scramble was dry, the eggs overcooked, while the huge chunks of broccoli were under-cooked and difficult to eat in one bite. The ranchero sauce was too watery and left something to be desired. The Fried Egg Sandwich looked so good, I think I'll have to try it on a future visit. The espresso beverages, too, left much to be desired; perhaps eat here, but get your coffee elsewhere. Why I loved it: The service was efficient, friendly and the space sweet and cozy. Cost: Average to high

Staying a few blocks from this place and had to come back twice on my stay because it was just that good; Waiter was super friendly and attentive, Portuguese fried rice was a HIT and the fresh lemon curd and whipped cream was amazing on the french toast and the pancakes. Coffee both days was amazing, will be back next time i'm in portland for SURE!

We ordered biscuits and gravy, and french toast and a french dip and an omelet for d.d. delivery. The food was amazing. It held up very well to temp loss, the french toast was so thick and delicious. The french dip was tender and thin sliced on a buttery roll. The aujus was perfection. You'd be remiss to not experience Cheryls.
Everyone working here is incredibly sweet to each other and to the patrons. The owner or manager has this place dialed in perfectly. Great breakfast place with wonderful espresso drinks. Awesome to find such a great breakfast spot in an otherwise down and out city.

This spot was conveniently located for a pre-matinee brunch and it fit the Venn Diagram of all the food considerations in my friend group (gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan). Plus, it was easy to make online reservations, so we knew we could make it to the theatre on time.

Food smells great and that’s where it ends. Food is incredibly bland in taste, the cook uses salsa as a seasoning rather than as the condiment it is. Again, Salsa is not a seasoning and therefore is not an excuse to make food that tastes like both cardboard and bog water. I have had depression meals with more pizzazz than this.
