Best breakfast in Portland

Tasty n Sons has been around for a while and I have actually eaten there a couple of times, so why have I taken so long to write this review? I don't know, but all I can say is I am not perfect. Tasty n Sons however, is perfect. At least the food is. If you could somehow walk in at any time and get a table then it would be perfect, but that is not going to happen. On a weekend you should expect to wait at least an hour, and it even fills up during the week if you don't get there as the doors are opening.


Is it worth waiting an hour for breakfast on a Sunday? Probably not, but there doesn't seem to be much choice in Portland on a weekend or holiday. You can drive from place to place and everywhere is at least an hour. Seems like we could do with 20 more good places to eat breakfast in this town.

So if you are going to wait for an hour or more, you should wait for the best.


When you finally get seated, the trick is to have a few people to share with and order a lot of stuff (try not to drink too many Bloody Marys while you wait). The best thing on the menu is Auntie Paula's French Toast, hands down the best you will ever eat. Then you can bounce from sweet to savory with the Griddled Bacon Wrapped Dates, Sautéed Spinach with sunny side up egg, Morocan Chicken Hash and the Chocolate Potato Doughnut to name a few favorites.


Tasty n Sons is also open for lunch and reportedly has a great hamburger, but I can not imagine going there without getting the french toast. It is a big place, and the buzz is great when it is full. the service is quick and friendly and they also have great cocktails if you are a booze-hound who drinks at 10 AM.


Open daily for brunch and dinner: 9 to 10, Fri & Sat till 11 — Happy Hour: 2:30 pm to 5:30pm
