Reviews for McMenamins Zeus Café in Portland, OR
The best way to explain the decor is historical chaos like they go to random estate sales and use the spoils decorating, it’s... not distasteful it’s just not consistent. It is full of character just not sure who’s. Unfortunately, I have to say the samefor the food, it’s not bad by any means the burger stands no less than 6” high. They have got the presentation down and itlooked great. The taste was good, it was cooked to the correct temp fries were crispy and hot. This would be a 5 star reviewexcept the server recognized that I was a single person for lunch and she had bigger tables, no one checked on me, no refills ondrink, not even my water, I had to flag her down for the ticket. Sadly this is not the first time I experienced this at thisrestaurant. It wasn’t a great experience overall, I would go back but not for lunch or by myself. Read more
Did 2 beer flights and got to try almost everything on the menu. I wish I had had time to try some of their unique cocktails but... breakfast was really good! I got the Mt. Hood scramble with Como toast and country potatoes. The portion size was perfect, theflavors were spot on, and the venue was nice. Definitely would go back again! Read more
I think for the experience alone this place is worth your visit. They have a great cocktail menu and a creative food menu.... Really nice and quick staff. The restaurant is just really cool, too. The way it’s decorated and the set up make it perfectfor a low key meal. They have a big outdoor seating area as well, but I loved sitting inside in a booth. The only reason Ididn’t do 5 stars was my breakfast tacos were a little underwhelming. Still good. But everything else was great. Read more
Very relaxing breakfast. Steel cut oats were expertly prepared and the international breakfast was a nice light option. The... artwork and atmosphere made for a great environment. Service was impeccable. Read more
If you want hash browns whiter than Portland, this is the place to go for breakfast. McMenamins, stick to burgers, and even... then y'all don't do a really great job. I thought if I tried a location attached to a hotel it would be a little better thanthis. The eggs benedict, worst we've had! I would have liked to know what the hollandaise sauce tasted like. I've left moresauce on a paper towel than was on this dish. Chorizo tacos. ???? First you fill a blue corn shell with what can only bedescribed as wet cabbage and Tabasco, then you try to convince us that the sausage is chorizo? No way. That sausage was countrysausage appropriating Mexican culture. I can't even really give an extra star for the staff. The one time I was asked if Iwanted more coffee it was almost like a verbal assault. Should have went to McDonald's, at least I could have expected thedisappointment that way. Read more

Stumbled upon this restaurant as we were strolling around Portland and stopped due to the great jazzy music and spacious patio... seating. We had to wait around 30 minutes to be seated but it went by fairly quickly since we checked out the shops across thestreet. I had a pollen-something drink made with gin and it was absolutely delicious. I’m a fan of intense flower flavors andthis drink was right on point, it even came with an edible flower which added a little extra flower flavor and flair. Theythankfully serve brunch into the afternoon so we were able to order from that menu. I had the Slabtown sandwich and it was agood option for when you’re wanting brunch but need something more filling. The side of potatoes was pretty good butdefinitely elevated by the ketchup, it wasn’t just regular ketchup, it tasted more vinegary and spice-filled. Our server wasalso very nice and attentive!

The staff was polite and welcoming, and I loved the cosy seating arrangement. The pizza I ordered was fresh, although a bit... smaller in size than expected. I requested for hot water instead of cold and the staff was happy to oblige. Overall, very nicerestaurant and a wonderful service. Read more
