Fantastic! Always worth it! You have to get fried chicken. Wouldn't be my first pick for veggie food but my sister in law who is veggie always enjoys herself and keeps coming back. I think this is one of the only places in Portland where you can find a great sweet tea.

One of our go-to spots we like to have lunch at before seeing a play at PCS on the weekend. Everyone we've taken here has enjoyed it. If you are only visiting once, definitely try something with the chicken. The cinnamon rolls are delicious. Place can get very busy extremely quickly, so expect a long wait list if you hit it during peak hours.

get a reservation, get there early or expect to maybe wait. this is a well trafficked eatery that puts out incredible food. on the morning I ate here I opted for the Bananas Foster French Toast with bacon and an Espresso Martini... Some of the best French Toast I've ever had. Make sure you get the bacon though to provide the saltiness to offset some of the sweetness.
