Brilliant diner. Music varied but great and the food very dineresque!!! Worth a trip for the breakfast. Man Cakes sit with you like concrete 😄Upvoted Apr 24
They don't always have it listed as a special but they'll make it for you if you ask. My favorite: the country Benedict. Hashbrowns, biscuits, poached eggs, sausage, and gravy on top. So good!!
roxanna thomasMarch 22, 2015Great little cafe. Food was awesome! Great service! So glad we made the stop. Burgers, Greek salad and meatloaf were all delicious! Oooh and mimosas!
Absolutely love their breakfast potatoes. Famous for their “mancakes,” don’t miss out on the great scrambles and other breakfast entrees.
Stacy Bo BacyOctober 12, 2018The mancakes are ridiculously big and there's no way I could ever eat more than one. The service is stellar here and so are the boozey beverages.
myrrh ♫July 9, 2014May just be Portland's best greasy spoon. Huge portions, solid diner food, BREAKFAST ALL DAY. Great old school attitude & atmosphere.- The BigBJuly 28, 2019Just really good diner-food. Huge portions (Mancakes!), excellent staff and good vibes. Highly recommended.
Don't forget the milkshake!!! Strawberry, chocolate, banana/walnut with whipped cream is delicious! But get what every you want as all fruit, etc is FRESH!!
Deneb CatalanApril 16, 2013First time? If you see a line, head straight for the clip-board on the left side of the front entrance and write your name down. You'll be glad you did. 
SultanApril 29, 2015Get the chicken fried steak with hollandaise sauce instead of gravy. You're welcome!
Nicole KastenSeptember 1, 2016Breakfast all day. Tasty pumpkin pancakes available seasonally. Good and simple bloody Mary.- Lori SpeisApril 19, 2016The omlettes and mancakes were amazing! But I was very disappointed with the hash browns. Still worth a visit.
JCFebruary 26, 2016The portions are huge, four guys could barely finish what we ordered. Long lines but just get there early ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Paul SailerJanuary 5, 2016Banana nut bread french toast. Better than the mancakes (which are still good).
Man up and try the 13+ inch "Mancakes." Or anything... huge portions, good food, awesome diner. Go for brunch but be prepared for a wait on the weekends!
Travel ChannelNovember 7, 2011Can you handle the “mancakes?” Adam tried this epic stack of 13-inch pancakes. As seen on Travel Channel’s Man v. Food Nation.
Brian C.February 24, 2013Food good. Bloody Mary good. Service kind of half and half but the food and drink make up for it.
Eric SaboJune 30, 2013Well known to pdxers in nw, a cool greasy spoon with attitude and open late, well for Portland anyways
If you're coming late, be aware that the kitchen shuts down about a half-hour before close.
PDX PipelineJuly 1, 2011Stepping Stone chicken fried steak & eggs is pretty good, but comes with about twice as much gravy as I need.
