I don't typically leave bad reviews, however I came in last night for some takeout and was seriously disappointed with the portion size. The order of broccoli beef that is around $15, had three pieces of beef in that whole container full of vegetables. Also I ordered a large hot and sour soup and the container that the to go came in was only about halfway full. In other words a small bowl of hot and sour soup. I have been here several times and never had this issue in the past but perhaps the owner is falling on hard times that he's having a cut corners I'm not sure but it seemed very cheap and not proportionate to the price you're paying for the food. The bartender was pleasant and that was pretty much it.

I’ve lived down the street from this place for the last 5 years and have always been curious. This past weekend we finally stopped in for some good old fashioned American diner-style breakfast in the lounge. The bartender/server was friendly and attentive, the coffee wasn’t offensive, and the food was actually good too! They were playing some good music and the vibe was relaxed and neighborly. We took note of the dart board and free pool tables, as well as their daily double happy hours (one in the lounge and one in the restaurant). Eventually we will need to see what the Chinese food is all about. You’ll be seeing us again very soon!

Mike is a fantastic bartender and very personable, likely my fave bartender in Portland.
I always tend to win at video p there more often than other places aswel, prob due to the sheer volume of players they get throughout the day idk

Absolutely terrible customer service! Old woman who worked on Sunday morning on September 22nd, was rude and unprofessional. I was shocked to be asked for ID when ordering a simple cup of coffee. It’s absurd to have to show identification just to grab a cup of coffee at 7am on a Sunday morning (!) .The atmosphere felt unwelcoming, she didn’t bother to explain this policy, and her attitude was dismissive. She also brought frozen cream with my coffee, ignored when I tried to tell it and didn’t apologized for it. 0/5 would not recommend to go there and waste your time

Came in to wet my whistle.
When ordering my drink, with a smile the bartender asked if I would like to see the menu.
Not planning on getting food I said yes. Before you know it I see biscuits and gravy and a half order very reasonable.
Talking with the bartender we chatted about making biscuits fresh and about having a solid gravy that is ready for a customer to add more to it vs having too much already.
I decided order the B&G and with full delights it was perfect. Especially with one of my favorite hot sauces on top.
Stiff dranks, great food, chill environment.
Recommended.
