⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Alexander Pekar
Was introduced to this hidden gem only about a month ago and I’ve already been back 3 times. I can’t get enough of the Potato Stacks. It might look like just a pile of everything, but trust me, it is absolutely delicious. You get your choice of hashbrowns or red smashed, and how you like your eggs. I opted for over medium and then obviously got it with bacon. But…that Red Gravy is the real winner. Oh man, it is so damn good. Paired it with a very, very good Bloody Mary and you’ve got yourself a fantastic breakfast. So far all of the servers I’ve experienced have been very kind and attentive. Location is tough, so parking is a challenge. But it’s very worth the walk down the street or wherever you can find parking. I highly recommend.

I loved this little brunch spot. The ambiance was awesome. Good service and good food. The decor was an old fashioned diner vintage market vibe, and it was very warm and inviting and interesting. I loved that they had a lot of vegetarian options, including vegan sausage. If you are looking for a cute little brunch diner, this is the place to check out.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Theresa Lowery
Potatoes, sandwiches and other breakfast/lunch options. Mashed potatoes and red gravy are outstanding. Chicken fried steak, daily specials and boozy drinks...did I mention potatoes? 💜💚 ❤️ You can get 'em smashed or hashed.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Krista Vogel
A hidden gem and quite likely my favorite breakfast in Portland! The Mount St. Helens potato stack (with mashed potatoes) is my go-to; it’s basically a combination of all the best breakfast foods all piled on top of each other. *chef’s kiss* The space is rather small — we usually go early and haven’t had to wait, but the waitlist does tend to grow!
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Salman Akhtar
Good food with friendly service in good atmosphere. Crowded on Saturday morning. Prices have increased from online menu, about $3 increase in all the prices. Tea was disappointing, just a tea bag with hot water and cream. One of these days these places will learn to make proper tea. Overall a pleasant experience. Highly recommended.
