As always, we will start with the positives. The chicken biscuit is really good. The biscuits are pretty tasty and the chicken stays crunchy and a good dynamic for a biscuit sandwich. But can you get what you want? We came on a weekend and because of the call in orders to go, it was an hour wait just to get the hashbrowns. Somehow the people who run the joint missed the fact that those who are there to dine in should be prioritized when they are, in fact, there to dine. While to go orders do help restaurants on profitability, it may turn into a to go only establishment if they keep this up. But the biggest issue we had was the cost of the food for the service received. $12 for a chicken biscuit and nine dollars for some hash browns with no protein seems high unless you have a good service. Unfortunately this is not one of those places. You stand in line and place your order, then you take your table number with you as you collect your own silverware, water and condiments. When you are done eating there is a lovely little sign on the table informing you that it is your responsibility to bus your own table. And when you go to pay they ask you for a tip. I have a tip!
Good brunch place. They have menu with a lot of breakfast and lunch items to choose from, focused on buttermilk biscuits and sandwiches featuring this kind of bread. They have other sides to choose from as well, including fried macaroni and cheese, and cajun fries. Still, their biscuits are pretty standalone good. I ordered the biscuit with pulled pork and even though my food was simple, it all tasted wonderful. Creamy biscuits with juicy meat, didn't even need additional sauce for it to be awesome in my book. It was well-packaged and came fairly quickly. In addition, prices here are actually quite reasonable. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.
I had the biscuits and gravy along with a “hash up”. I had no idea the size of the portions; it was a struggle to finish everything - I had to leave some behind. Food was excellent. Don’t expect a ton of service from the staff, as you are expected to get your own water and bus your own dishes.
Very friendly service. Relaxed atmosphere. I got the Reggie with fried green tomato. So, so good. Great bloodies as well.
I love southern cooking and finding it in Portland was surprising and awesome! Such great biscuits and fantastic coffee too.
the biscuits and gravy are perfection. everything else is great as well.
They really do make their biscuits from scratch. Watched while I ate and they are delicious!!
I was walking down NE Alberta this weekend and was shocked to see a long line for a restaurant that specializes in BISCUITS? Somewhat surprised, I ordered a six-pack of biscuits to see first hand why people are standing in line in 35 degree weather. These biscuits are delicious (and very big). I could see what folks were out here in line. The restaurant itself has a number of dishes with these biscuits. Can't wait to go back and try some of the menu items!
Pro tip: the early bird gets the biscuit. This place fills up almost immediately and it’s no wonder why. The Reggie was everything I needed and the gravy was perfection. I am not a fan of pop tarts but thanks to the seasonal blueberry Pop tart at Pine State biscuits now I am. Wasn’t blown away by the “hash ups” but everything else was pretty great!
Easy experience ordering pickup online, and it was ready on time. My Reggie Deluxe with mushroom gravy was top-notch. Will definitely be back to try more biscuits. I ate the sandwich with just my hands, but would have benefited from a spoon.
