This had to be one of the best eggs benny I’ve had. Definitely top 5. I got the Benny Florentine with biscuit substitute and ham added and it was incredible. The atmosphere is a chill diner vibe and good seating. I’m sure the other food is good, but the Benny along with the potatoes were amazing.

This place has solid aspects- tasty food, vegan options, friendly servers. My fresh glass of water had sludgy food remnants on it and I asked to have it replaced and the server said “it looks like something from the window dropped in it.” I thought this was an odd thing to say, given that we were seated inside and it was clearly a dirty glass, but I started looking around the restaurant. The top of the windows are covered in spiderwebs and I saw 4 dead flies in the windowsill by my seat, the glasses are covered in a splotchy residue that scratches off. I ate my food and tipped well but really left questioning the lack of attention to cleanliness. If the owner reads this, a little spring cleaning would go a long way and if you polish your clean glasses with a coffee filter it gets rid of the film.

Food was bomb. My server was a literal ray of sunshine. So many queer employees - it felt very safe.
I'm so glad this is walking distance....new favorite hangover breakfast spot 😅 11/10.

Really yummy. A bit pricey, but worth it because the ingredients are high quality. Solid breakfast options. We both enjoyed it. Service was solid. Atmosphere is chill. There’s also outdoor seating. Would go again. Recommended.

I have been to this diner a billion times and it is super consistent in terms of both deliciousness and service. Everyone is always attentive and welcoming no matter how busy it is! I wanted to give a shout out to Zoe who mentioned she just started. I think she will be a great addition to your team - she offered the same level of service I’ve grown to expect from the lovely staff at this diner. Everything I’ve had there is amazing, but I highly recommend the Challah French Toast or any of their scrambles. You can’t go wrong!

I don’t live in the states, but everytime I am in Portland, I will always have breakfast at city state. I would have it for each day I am in town, because they have the best bennies I’ve ever had. The sauce is to die for, and their grits is sooo good. Good menu variety, portions can be more but we usually leave full, great customer service. I like the big patio area so you can bring your dogs and still eat at the restaurant. I like the self serve water option as well.
