We showed up to Portland with a hungry track team of 40. We called Mother’s very last minute, and they were more than willing to accommodate us! We showed up and they had already set up seating for us, and were extremely efficient and kind with rounding up all of the orders. The food came out shockingly fast and was to die for. Me and one of the other coaches split the Mike’s Scramble and it was bliss after one bite. Even with the huge group, the staff was great about checking on everyone and making sure we all had drinks and were served.Overall it was a great experience during a very hectic trip to Oregon. I would highly recommend Mother’s to anyone who is visiting the area and give a huge thank you from Boise High Track & Field!

Undoubtedly the best brunch in Portland. I’ve yet to have anything bad here. Their mimosas are the perfect ratio of OJ and champagne plus a nice strawberries purée AND they don’t serve them in a tiny little champagne glass for 20 bucks like other brunch spots. The Mike’s scramble is always delicious and if you order a cinnamon roll, be prepared to split it with four people as it’s huge! They moved locations a few years back and I truthfully miss their old venue as I thought the vibe was a little bit cooler, but a small trade-off to not have to wait 60 minutes for a table anymore. Service is always spot on. You are never rushed but also don’t we have to wait an hour for someone to refill your coffee. Again, best in town.

For two people who don't like our Mom's we had a great Sunday brunch. Place was packed but without a reservation things were still moving along at a ten minute wait for a table. The eggs benedict on their specials menu was easily the best I've had. Velvety, buttery and definitely homemade. Don't let the gold wallpaper fool you, people were dressed for the opera and just rolled out of bed, come as you are.

The service and atmosphere are wonderful and the food is good. However, the quality of the food doesn't quite match the price point.

We used to love Mother's. The food was wonderful. They've moved into a hotel and ALL of our breakfast tasted pre-cooked and warmed over. The only bright spot was good service. Win't be back.

If you are looking for excellent food and outstanding service, Mother’s is the place to go. I was visiting Portland this weekend and enjoyed the breakfast on Saturday so much that we went back before my flight home today (Sunday). Yesterday, Nick managed tricky orders with our larger group really well and was super friendly. Today, Emily went out of her way to provide excellent service and spread sunshine and kindness. On the food front, the French toast coated in corn flakes was delicious, and the cooks did a great job making crispy bacon that was not burnt. The friend I was visiting loved the tofu dish he had yesterday and also really enjoyed his oatmeal and bananas today. Our other friends were also very happy with their dishes yesterday….The place has a great vibe. I look forward to heading to Mother’s again on my next trip to Portland!

All around, a great experience! I took my mom here. It was the 1st time for the both of us. We both really enjoyed our food, and she will tell you it's the best waffle she's ever had! Very friendly staff. We look forward to coming back.

Another exceptional hit. There are hand made pictures with grandma statements about the importance of a good meal all over this place.Our waiter was prompt and had excellent suggestions for my meal, I tried his favorite meal when he suggested I split and get half and half if I wanted to try both.We showed up first thing and waited, getting doughnuts from across the street, which the staff is very used to by now. We did finish them before entering the premises but maybe we could have brought them inside?I had half salmon hash and have of another, it escapes me which it was? Something with a strong sauce.... Corn beef hash with horseradish.I made the mistake of drinking orange juice, they didn't mix though both hashes were very delicious.There are too many options, I will have to return for a more complete review as this place does all meals and has a beautiful bar as well.Parking: Probably the connected hotel has private parking, I should do a better check in the future to ask the staff if diners can park there while they are eating.Kid-friendliness: This is a very kid friendly place but not a kid specific place.
Incredible breakfast. Wide variety of, reasonably priced and freshGiant cookies tooAlso serve lunch and dinner

Only lost a star because the waitress kept calling our table “fam.” I listened, and I didn’t hear her say it to any other table near us. We were all Black and idk or care if that’s why she said it but we didn’t need it

Jesse was our server along with a whole posse of team work. Nothing to improve, just kudos. ? Our Easter reservation was as smooth as it could go. French toast, Crab Cake Benedict, Matzoh Ball soup, bagels and dessert- blueberry galette, tira miau and the sorbet, all on point! Mommosa & Mary too. Second Easter… see ya’ll next year???
