About Shari's

Shari's Cafe and Pies is a local favorite in Portland, known for its friendly service and decent Northwest-style cuisine. The staff, including the welcoming waitress Trinh, ensures a pleasant dining experience by checking on customers after they are served. The service is generally great, though there may be a slight lag in coffee refills. Customers appreciate the restaurant's nice and clean ambiance, as well as the quick delivery of their food, particularly the pancakes. The restaurant has a warm, mom-and-pop vibe and is wheelchair friendly, making it suitable for families. While some areas like the booth cushions and landscaping may appear a bit worn, the overall atmosphere remains inviting. The menu includes popular dishes such as salmon and French toast, though some reviews mention that the French toast could taste better with additional ingredients and that the eggs in it should be softer. Customers have enjoyed the food and the fun experience of video poker, and many find it a good place to sit and eat.
