Their food was good but our waiter was not personable/ lacked humanity and made us feel ashamed we brought our kiddo to breakfast. We tried to use a high chair but were told yes by some and no by our waiter in a rude demeaning tone. Shout out to the waitress that made us feel human and the rest of the crew for their hospitality though. Sadly I will opt to go elsewhere and would encourage you to do the same if you have a kid even if they are well behaved as ours was too.

I ordered off the sides menu, and I made sure that he understood, because I only wanted 1 egg. Egg was $3.50, pepper bacon $4.50, biscuit $4.00 and home fried potatoes $4.00, total $16.00. The two egg breakfast was $16.00 add $4.50 for side meat. Total $21.50. I was charged $5.50 for a egg that I didn't order! Most of the food was good, except the potatoes, they were dry and almost burnt! I won't be back!!

Overall, a disappointing experience. Food was underseasoned. The waiter also actively ignored us when we tried to point out that the protein in our order was missing. Would not return.

This place used to be overpriced and not very good but now since the ownership change the food has been very good and service is really good too. I usually get the Belmont skillet. Large portion. They also have sometimes a Turkish special that is worth getting for sure.

Service was amazing and very personal, while the food was tasty and exactly what my wife and I wanted. Highly recommended for everyone in the area looking for a great breakfast.

Being here a few times. Flavors are hit or miss. This time potatoes were burnt. None of us finished our food.
It took a waiter a long time to take the order maybe because they just opened? That did not happen before.
We were told NOT to split checks for four persons. I understand the cost of credit card transactions is encroaching the profit margin of such restaurants. But it is the way how he firmly said no, like a refutal, which made everyone (including out-of-town sister-in-law) uncomfortable.
Yucky, just nothing to write home about. Boring. Service was unpleasant. Don't see why brunch places get such positive reviews.

I forgot to take pictures of our delicious meal! Shoot! I guess we will have to go back again. I was planning that anyway. We were seated right away. We got water and coffee very fast, and ordered. The wait for the food was not very long. It was truly delicious. I can see why there were many customers a little late on a Tuesday morning. This is an utterly charming and delicious hub of all the good breakfast things! Highly suggest. And... more to come as I am definitely going to go back ASAP.

Checked in with a party of 6 at 09:57. At 10:34 was told it would be an hour wait and that they only had 1 table to seat 6 people at and that they just seated a party at that table. I looked at the table and they had seated a party of 3 at this table. Poor communication and extrwmwly poor seating process. I’ve gone to cricket for years but they have gone down hill and I can no longer recommend it.

I wish I took a pic but my goodness, it is such a delicious brunch here. I’ve lived in Portland for over 12 years and have been almost everywhere for brunch so I’m telling you, this is something special!!! French toast is exactly what French toast should be, the bacon is crispy & peppery, the poached eggs were perfect. Go!!!

The atmosphere of cricket is absolutely charming. Warm and bustling and clearly popular since there were many people waiting for a table. The staff was wonderful, attentive and truly made the experience enjoyable. Sorry to say that the food was disappointing. Flavors and textures didn't land well and I didn't want to finish, which is rare for me. I hope this was just an off day in the kitchen but I probably won't return. Again, love service and vibe. Thank you.
