It’s pretty disappointing just how down hill Sharis has gotten over the years. Stood at the entrance for at least 5 minutes before we were even acknowledged even though 3 servers had made eye contact. Clearly a staff member had brought their child to work, and he appeared to be bored since he was running amok behind the counter and licking the glass case where the pies are kept. We waited quite a while for our drinks and food and once the food was brought to us, the portioning was ridiculous for what they charge and the toast was not toasted. I even sent it back and once it was brought back, it still wasn’t toasted which to me indicates they don’t put it in an actual toaster and instead is made on the griddle. The grease on the bread indicated that. This place is a disappointment and Ashley the location manager, should be embarrassed by her leadership because this isn’t the first time we’ve had this experience here. And we surely won’t be back.The only positive thing I can actually say is that our server Kimberly was nice.

Great service for Easter breakfast and a clean dining area, the food however left something to be desired; the eggs benidict was very sweet almost like a velvetta and the gluten free pancakes were a miss this time around.

Worst customer service! Walked in at 9:10 for some pie shakes & as soon as we walked in the worker in a very rude tone told us the kitchen was down bc they close at 10... I said we only want shakes, she proceeded to be rude again & say we only have a select few. Don't work in customer service if you're going to be rude & hate your job

One of the worst ever. Don't go here.Bowl of watery cold potato soup $7.99.French dip and fries were at least hot.I waited a long time for:1. Seating (there were only 2 tables with customers).2. Waitress to bring drink or soup.3. Never got the check. Walked up and waited for it at the register.Guy walked in behind me finally left because there was no one greeting and seating. Seriously bad all around.

Service was pretty good. Biscuits and gravy pretty bland no taste lots of pepper still blah.

We've lived down the street from here for 9 years. I expected it wasn't very good, but my parents wanted to go. Food was cold, forgotten ingredients that were listed on the description. Very slow service. Waitress never checked in on us to see how things were.

Foul smell. Excellent customer service.Food came back good.When leaving I went to the restroom and mold was crowding the lock in my stall. I have a picture, it won't allow me to post.

The food was good, and the server was absolutely fabulous, but we almost left before we were seated, because the odor of the bathrooms is what hits you the moment you walk in the door. I walked the bathroom to view, and the tile on the floor is gross, with compacted crud in the grout. Someone needs to do some serious DEEP CLEANING.

Staff is great! The food was good but there was nothing to write home about.
Very underrated. It is fairly standard no frills fare, but given the insanity of portlanders standing in cold rain for an hour for eggs and toast, a far better option.

Where do I start?Most of us are plenty familiar with Shari's . . they've been around a long time. Unfortunately, many of the changes over the years have mostly not been good ones . . although, I will name at least a couple improvements.Firstly . . I think it's fair to say that in the begining and for many years after that this was a decent, midrange, 24 hour American food restaurant with many solid, tastey classics that were affordable and featured what seemed to be yummy homemade style pies that for a long time, people believed were made there.Dislikes:The pies are actually not made there.Sevice and cleanliness have been declining.You may have noticed that they keep updating and gentrifying their menu as an excuse to charge more, with more fufu choices and trimmings yet while eliminating American classics like the chili burger, over charging for a cup or bowl of soup . . or the expensive for what you get, classic soup and (half sandwich) combo. How money grabbing is that!? Many of the locations are no longer 24 hour.For a time . . they tried to pass off what looked and tasted much more like a giant, dry dinner roll as an actual cinnamon roll . . Unlike places that actually make the amazing, drippy, sweet gooey goodness of a genuine cinnamon roll . . Shari's went corporate cheap on this one and were very sparing with all the sweet surgary cinnamon goo that actually makes a cinnamon roll so delicious. Insulting actually to customers . . because it was such a cheap immitation of a cinnamon roll.On the positive side . . although overpriced for it's size . . the Marionberry Cheesecake is absolutely heavenly. The actual piece that you get tho, is likely the most tiny piece of pie you will ever get.I also highly recomend the absolutely delish tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich combo. The tomato soup used to be available only on Wednesdays but they got smart and offer it every day now.I really wish they would go back to focusing more on traditional American food and lower the prices back down a bit. I don't go there much, anymore, unfortunately.
