“always a great experience“

“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.

“One of the best values out there for a healthy bowl! I can’t get enough of the #3 Nori bowl. It’s my favorite bowl anywhere!! So tasty, quick, and reasonably priced.“

“A must have the best soul food place in the Portland area highly recommended.“

“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.“

“Found The Buffalo Gap last weekend while attending a bike Show. About a mile from my stay and way better than the Boujie hotel I was at. The Bartenders and Waitresses were all awesome Great service, nice smiles and great food and drink. Thank you all I appreciate you and my new hoodie.“

“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.“

“Just ate there today with my brother and had the double bacon cheeseburger and it was amazing!!!!“

“Always tasty & enjoying fabulous music!“

“Salmon chowder is spectacular. Amazing flavor depth with generous chunks of salmon.“

“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!“

“One of the best restaurants I’ve been at in a while“

“First time was fabulous; food, wine, vibe and people were top-notch. The second time not so much. I was pretty disappointed to receive a $3 “discount” after not being able to eat the way too salty lamb ribs. Just left a bad taste and vibe for me as a neighbor and someone who could have been an enthusiastic regular. I have very rarely sent back food… but as a prior food biz owner myself, if a reasonable and polite customer ever had a disappointing experience with anything, I’d always give a full refund and encourage them to try us again. It’s just good business practice IMHO.“

“Fresh pasta and inventive salads“

“Very nice atmosphere, fast service“

“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.“

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

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

“Every thing is great.“

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

“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“

“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“

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

“I first came here over 40 years ago and keep coming back. Best breakfast in Oregon! I travel all over the state working as a residential and Commercial building inspector and am a breakfast fanatic. Never found a better breakfast and have tried hundreds of restaurants over the years. Awesome food, massive portions at an affordable price and an outstanding staff. I’d give 20 stars if I could. Thank you all for years of great experiences“

“My friends wanted to take me to breakfast at their favorite locak spot and Bertie Lou's just so happened to be where they took me! I love the atmosphere, classic tiny diner. What was a surprise was that the seating area was full of what I am guessing are regulars art peices drawn while at Berties. The food was great, the service was fast and friendly, and I would highly recommend this spot to anyone who a craving for breakfast foods and a love of a local business!“

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

“Friendly atmosphere food is always good service is prompt. Has a Cheers type feel.“

“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“

“This was sooooo good! We got the mac and cheese and chicken!! The portions were large too!! I highly recommend. We went on a Saturday evening, so we had a long wait (one guy working), but it was worth the wait. (Next time, I'll order, run an errand and come back.) The owner was busting his butt and quite friendly. Overall, really great!“

“I have lived here since 1/05/2011. My dad was the long term administrator from 1962 to 1978, now called CEO. He and my mom paid a down payment for me in July 1984 when there was a 10 year waiting list! My move in was on a very rainy day! It has been home ever since and the residents here are fantastic!
