Oh. My. Gosh. This place is an absolute hidden gem of Portland. I ordered the biscuit and gravy plate and the biscuits taste homemade, homemade sauce, eggs cooked my way, and these delicious crispy seasoned potato bits. Everything was bursting with flavor. You will not be disappointed. I also got a
First visit today. The staff was fun! I ordered a scramble with cheddar and sautéed veggies. There were meaty, chewy mushrooms (yea!) in small pieces so no need for cutting. Red peppers, chopped spinach, red onions: everything sliced small for the perfect bite. The music, WOW! Old Bowie (Ziggy Stard
The perfect spot on a weekend for brunch. This diner has Portland written all over it. From the excellent food and drink options to the homey vibes and pet friendly patio, it's extremely welcoming. Our server was helpful with allergy issues and offered up substitutions. I highly recommend this place
Better than most, but not a shining star. Worth trying to be sure.
My critiques are more to do with technique in cooking but not with flavor. I'll skip them for now.
Service was fast and the staff were friendly and happy to help.
Slightly unorthodox ordering system, but not impossible to figure o
I am a very picky pancake eater, and I can only tell you that while on vacation in Portland I went to City State Diner two days in a row to get their blueberry pancakes! The atmosphere is great (you feel right at home), the staff is wonderful, and the food is excellent. You can’t really go wrong, bu
This place had delicious food. My husband had the Mile High scramble and I had the Best of Both with eggs Benedict and biscuits and gravy. They were both really good, but I think next time I'll get the eggs Benedict. That hollandaise sauce was delicious! We also got the coffee cake to go, it had lot
A relaxed, cozy spot with good food - fairly priced. Our server took great care of us and was helpful in accommodating dietary needs. Staff is always fast and friendly. Never had a bad experience at City State and always enjoy the coffee and dishes on offer. It's everything a Portland diner should b
I almost didn't write a review for fear of this great gem becoming to popular and then there being the crazy lines you see at other Portland brunch spots that are frankly not as good. Everything here is wonderful, food, service, atmosphere, price for the large portions of thoughtful well crafted del
A great spot for brunch. There's indoor and outdoor seating. They've got a great selection of eggs benedict and unique scrambles. Our server recommended swapping the muffin for their house made biscuits. Some of the best biscuits I've had. Their hollandaise is light and tasty. Pancakes were also lig
*deep movie promo voice*. In a city full of strange food combinations and eclectic tastes, one restaurant takes a stand to provide outstanding comfort food!! ... Seriously though, great atmosphere, outstanding food and service. Our group had breakfast and tried 5 different items off the menu, a
I order the George an added gravy, it was the absolutely best breakfast I've ever had. It was absolutely delicious. The big added bonus is they serve Cellar Door Puddletown drip, it's so very delicious. Such a great place for breakfast. My family has been their atleast 8 times and we've never left d
Server was slow on every aspect and twice forgot about coffee refills he was getting us. Forgiven because it was a Sunday morning. Food was good. Biscuits were too salty. Gravy on biscuits was minimal and not amount you would expect. Eggs Benedict’s were awesome. Perfectly cooked eggs, fresh tasting
Great food and service! Really good place for brunch on a weekday, they can be pretty busy other days but we got in no problem on an off day. Scary delicious biscuits, and everything else was super yummy too! Definitely recommend a latte, it was so foamy and a perfect day way to survive the oncoming
Haley was the best server ever. She was personable sweet and was very honest in the most hilarious way. Food was tasty too!
This is an incredible brunch / lunch spot. We've been coming here for years and the food quality is always superb. The staff here is friendly, attentive, and passionate about great food. There is great indoor and outdoor seating, with a great mix of picnic tables, booths, and indoor tables. The addi
Hands down the best eggs Benedict I’ve ever had, and I get them everytime I go anywhere for breakfast. The dill hollandaise is perfection. Our server Morgan was super attentive and made the whole experience that much better. Hands down one of the top places to get breakfast/lunch in inner Portland.
