[email protected] says One of my favorite stops overall from our Epic Pacific Northwest Road Trip. Was impossible to find though. We parked the car in a ramp that was about a block away then got lost finding it in the downtown. We had to have stuck out like sore thumbs as tourists trying to find it. Only way we spotted it was by the sign on the sidewalk they put out everyday. But once we found it we loved it. We had late lunch there so no crowd at all. I ordered the sliders and mom got the grilled cheese and tomato soup. She absolutely loved what she got, and I loved the sliders too. My biggest surprise was the fact that only option for the side was the mashed potatoes that I thought went perfect with them. I am not a big french fry lover, and after that will start looking to pair more burgers with mashed potatoes. We also got the fountain drinks and split a milkshake for dessert. We got the 44th milkshake which is pistachio-almond flavored. Loved it. The server was great too. I think he was from Australia and we had fun talking with him about Portland. He also gave us walking directions to our next stop so we didn't look like tourists so bad.

    This place is great. We will go back when in portland again. The food is great and the people that work there are awesome. I loved the tomato soup and grill cheese. My husband had the Rueben burger and he said it was real good. Homemade sodas are a plus. Go early before the local crowd gets there.

    Good food, but if you linger at all after you pay your bill, they will ask you to leave. Get in, eat, and get out.

    Was over from the United Kingdom and as a fan of the show decided to try some of the places, this was by far the best. They obviously use quality ingredients and it shows, if i am ever in Portland again, i will revisit and will definitely tell any friends that are over that way to call in!
