The Rice. The breakfast burger. Enough said.
Decided to CBG try on a whim and can't get over how much I loved it. Service was friendly and incredibly fast. They give you a booklet with all their specialty drinks and liquors (and even include the price). Got a vodka cran for $6.50. Three days later I am still reminiscing on the food. You will not find a better price for bigger portions and better quality than CBG. The pork schintzel with potato salad and coleslaw was to die for. The steak sandwich was melt in your mouth buttery and flavorful and the fries were piping hot. TRY THIS PLACE!!
Best steak sandwich I have ever had! High quality food, and the staff was friendly and chatty even though they were super busy. My party was in a bit of a rush to make a show, and they had us in and out in 45 minutes. Definitely recommend!
I didn’t expect to find this place; I was pulled in by the “Cocktail”-inspired neon sign late on a Saturday night, and I found the staff was incredibly welcoming, the setting itself is old-school and comforting, and the prices are great. Who can say no to a Schlitz tallboy? I can’t. I will be back!
This spot is so unassuming in every way. You would never expect them to have delicious food. Visiting from NYC and we have GOOD food. We ordered the pork & potatoes, gnocchi and fish and chips and everything was so darn delicious, including the coleslaw and potato salad! Everything was cooked perfectly, balanced well with the sides and great taste! Plus, customer service was excellent. We ordered for takeout and still highly recommend it!
I come to CBG regularly since I live in the neighborhood. The atmosphere is very “dad who drinks shlitz and goes on hunting trips”. I come for the happy meals and the cocktails. $5 for a beer and a shot. $11 for a top notch cocktail, best price in the city. If you’re lucky, a handsome dark haired guy in a pineapple shirt will make you a specialty spiked Shirley temple. A very industry friendly bar.
I have lived in Portland for almost 20 years. This has never been my go to bar but I have been enough to know it well. It's known as where the drunks hang out around town. There's always numerous people at the bar who can barley speak and are practically falling off their stool which is why it's never been my go to bar.For this reason it was very surprising that a server refused to serve me and my friends when we hadn't even been drinking. We came in to meet a small group with the intention of getting some food and a beer. The server, a guy with dark hair wearing a shirt with pineapples, told us we were not welcome there. Again, we had not been drinking. He was so nasty to us I couldn't believe it. The place was empty, as is typically is when I walk by, and this must be the reason. I guess if you aren't one of their regular fall down drunk customers you aren't welcome in the business.How unfortunate that for absolutely no reason at all this business chose to be really nasty to me and my friends. Not only will we never go there again but I feel to protect other friends from being treated poorly I will have to strongly encourage that no one I know ever go there again. Too bad considering all of us live in the neighborhood where this business is located.
Excellent! Mere feet away from Tate Theater. Great staff and atmosphere. The haddock sandwich and haddock fish and chips are the best ever!
Great 70’s dive bar atmosphere with killer cocktails and amazing fresh food. Highly recommended!
My new favorite bar in Portland. Great vintage cocktails made with care. And perfect spot to unwind and get away from tourists crowds. Lots of whiskey scotch available a poster of big lewbowsk as well a drafts and cheap cans. Gina was both hospitable as well as accommodating. Excited about making time to come back to "our" bar.
