“Always predictably good. Solid pub food, love the soups and salads too. It’s our neighborhood favorite. They haven’t raised their prices which means the value is amazing! .“

“This food is wonderful! It does vary a little bit depending on whose cooking in the back but is always good. Their Mac and cheese combos are amazing! I don't eat Mac and Cheese EVER except for here now. It was a happy impulse one lunch time!“

“Friend and I ate here yesterday. Each ordered basic cheesteak w cheese and onions. Amazing. Tender beef, perfectly melted cheese and just enough grilled onion. Bread was very fresh. We ended up ordering a third cheesesteak to split. Also had a few pints of Ninkasi lager.“

“What a lovely place! A perfect spot for a cozy lunch on a blustery day. And the food was fantastic, mushroom soup, chicken pot pie, truffle fries (amazing), and creme brulee for dessert. It's so easy to get there, we'll be back soon!“

“Biscuits cafe feels like a warm breakfast at a friend's house. Great, kind staff and friendly hosts. The food always tastes better than home made but with a nice diner style touch and because they offer options to choose what your meal is from a standard American breakfast meal offering list (eggs, bacon, hash browns, pancakes, etc) you can never go wrong and always can get what you want.

They also have a great selection of specialties and a good variety of flavor. I've had many menu items but specifically the chicken fried steak with over easy eggs is a very hearty but worth it flavor explosion. I also love huevos rancheros and they make it extremely well. The cinnamon toast French toast is a sweet and warm breakfast offering if you want something more sweet. They also always cook the eggs exactly to the requested consistency where if you ask for an over easy egg it is runny but never undercooked. They also have salt and pepper and other condiments at the table so you can add what amount to taste for your palette.

Other than that I have to mention the consistency. Every time I have been here I have had a good experience and ate great food.“

“This review is based on our last few minutes paying the bill, everything else was top notch. Our group of 4 was chatting when our bills arrived and continued to visit, and our waiter came by to gather abit later and told him it was ready. At this time we Bagan to review our bills to pay one with a card and we were paying cash. As soon as I placed the cash in their bifold and placed on the table another waiter came to the table and stated being just like our waiter and dressed similarly. Worth noting she was about 110 5 foot or so with our waiter at 220 plus and 6ft or so wit a great beard. I stated that our waiter had much bigger feet and a great beard with my wife commenting about our matching hairlines... lol right. No next thing we get is she identifies as law enforcement and proceeds to walk away with an elevated voice "I'll kick beat you down" I turned left to my friend and sain now she wants to wrestle. At this point mist people are watching and then just short of screaming she yells "I'll Kick your A$$". And indeed the entire restaurant is watching on what was going on, I simply went back to visiting with our group not knowing what was next. Not long afterwards our waiter walked by and as he did thank me for the tip. No follow up from management nothing. So probably about 15 minutes after this a few other groups had left and we started our departure and still nothing. Over the years we have been here many times as a couple and a few large groups, after this event not to sure we could return for an enjoyable dining experience with their staff threatening some ones life unprovoked.

“I've always had decent food here at Bannings. This morning I ordered Pumpkin pancakes.....what a disappointment. The pumpkin batter needed salt added to it and it also could have used a bit more sugar in the batter. The syrup was not real maple syrup but table top ad says, "warm maple syrup," so I expected real maple syrup. It also says, "whipped butter." I asked the waiter about the maple syrup and he told me it was "artificial" maple and argued the fact that the restaurant never said "real" maple syrup. Maybe the butter is whipped margarine...who knows what liberties are taken in menu descriptions. I'm a "real" maple syrup customer.“

“I've eaten at Good & Evil many times during the last 10+ years and eat from both the Good and Evil sides of the menu.

The wraps and bowls/salads are always tasty and consistent.

One of the very best food carts in the Portland area.“

“First time here and it's a very nice looking place.

had the steak which was VERY good. very juicy , which is my favorite kind of steak.

I dont normally eat mushrooms, but decided to try them since they came with the meal, and they were pretty good. I would have mushrooms more if they tasted that good.

our server was also mega friendly. really appreciate her positive additude. made me feel welcomed there.

deffintly would come back again, next time I'm in the area.“

“Oh my gosh. Such a delicious meal! I got the combination plate and the schnitzel was so flavorful. I've heard good things about the dill soup and it did not disappoint! We finished our meal with eclairs to go.

My boyfriend and I both agreed it'll be hard to try something new because we both loved what we got! Can't wait to back!“

“We have been ordering from Oregon City India Grill at least once a month for close to a year and have dined in and enjoyed the buffet. The food is consistently delicious and very reasonably priced for the portions. Best of all, every employee I've interacted with has been incredibly kind, generous, and clearly delights in making customers happy. We feel so spoiled every time we stop in to pick up our take out!“

“Very nice atmosphere, fast service“

“My friend and I decided to come and have happy hour and we ordered california roll the wagu beef sliders the cod tacos and the fishermens stew. I enjoyed the sliders very much. The california roll had more rice than filling but, the crab meat, avocado and cucumber had good flavor but the quantity was very small. the cod tacos didn't say it was blackened with spices that were a little more than my taste buds could handle. the fishermens stew was very flavorfull and had well cooked fish and seafood. I would not recommend the california roll because of the amount of rice.“

“Creative, delicious food, warm & welcoming staff!“

“Water served in repurposed wine glasses, Chandon mimosas for the whole table, the best Oregonian salmon Benedict on the west coast!? This place is the real deal.. def consider a stop for brunch if you’re in the Portland area!“

“I've been coming here for a good 10 years and I love the food there, I usually get a veggie omelette or a chicken gyro with feta cheese, they're french fries are out of this world. it's not too pricey, but with good food, coffee, and service you can't go wrong. I personally love the smell of the air freshener in the rest rooms . would I recommend this restaurant, yes most definitely.“

“Every thing is great.“

“From the moment you enter Wildhare, you feel like family, they know you by name and even remember what you eat. The staff is incredible, the food options are always a large variety to choose from and delicious everytime. Bonus points the owners are huge supporters of our local schools and youth sports. Both locations we dine at and love! Highly recommend.“

“Highly recommend. Best food in Portland! Great staff.“

“Look at this burger! I promise it was as delicious as it is beautiful. Top that off with a frosty pint, tons of TVs playing all the sports games, pool tables, friendly family atmosphere (this is a literal mom and pop business) and great service and you have the perfect place to become a regular at.

Kid-friendliness: Very family friendly“

“Great little breakfast spot with a cozy, welcoming vibe. The staff was friendly and attentive, which made the visit even better. We had bacon, eggs, and sourdough toast, all cooked just right and really hit the spot. Classic, no-frills breakfast done well. Definitely a place worth checking out if you’re in the area.“

“Hadn't been in a decade or so, and nothing has changed, which is a great thing. This is a fantastic place to get your bloat on.

The food is generous, delicious, and greasy (at least my Denver omelet was). The coffee was rocket fuel badgood. The atmosphere is relaxed to the max with a wide variety of diners to side-eye at and a cool ordering process right up in front of the cooking area.

My only slight gripe is that they aren't 24 hours anymore. Now THAT used to get a zanily wacko six stars.“

“Friendly fun staff. Great beverages and food. Nice vibe.“

“They have the BEST Happy Hour! Our host AND server, Tina, was so attentive and had a positive, energetic personality! She made my husband's birthday special by bringing him not one, but TWO of their special cakes with a HUGE sparkler! It was a great experience for our first time there! Will definitely be back!“

“duh... awesome it has the same name as me.“

“We had our daughter in-laws 30th birthday party in the social room. Everything was set perfect. Management was really kind and easy to plan with. They were very accommodating and communicated well. The food was very good, drinks were perfect. We highly recommend you try this business. We'll be back!“

“Had the cheesesteak and can’t quit thinking about the sandwich now….and the choc chip sea salt cookie. Delish! So glad to finally have tried this restaurant“

“I love their sausages, such a large variety. Friendly, knowledgeable staff“

“We had a delightful wine dinner featuring UncleZen’s spices and cuisine!! PLEASE PLEASE add Uncle Zen’s shrimp and crabcakes to your menu! They were divine ❤️“

“good food, great bartenders, friendly patrons! Great place to play pool and karaoke!“

“Every single time I've been here, the staff have been sweet. They go above and beyond, and they have always had a smile on their faces. The only thing sad is they no longer carry an item my client likes, but that's because the company no longer makes it“
