Reviews for Oliver's Cafe in Portland, OR
I've eaten here twice and both times the food was about average, a little undercooked. A lot of my cheese hadn't melted and the... "stuffed french toast" isn't at all any kind of "stuffed" dish. It's just two pieces of bread with cream cheese spread on oneside, they're not even stuck together, let alone stuffed. On to the bigger issue. If you order online, they will charge you anadditional 15% gratuity for a single take-out order, which I already have an issue with. Beyond that though, they do not listthe added gratuity on the receipt and still have a gratuity line so if you think you're tipping 15%, you're a actually tippingover 30%. It is not listed on the order or the receipt, this is straight up fraudulent. Also, if I'm already being charged extrafor boxes, then what "service" am I paying for that demands an extra 15% for pickup? This isn't a forced standard for patronsthat dine-in, have their food brought to them, are waited on and have their areas cleaned. So why are carry-out customers beingunilaterally charged more when they require less service? Read more
The food was decent. I've had better and worse. Eggs and sausage were delicious, pancakes were a bit chewy and hard to cut.... There's a very loud ringing coming out of the kitchen nearly the entire time. Service was okay. We sat ourselves and they cameto take our order after a while, nothing special. The portions were great for the price and the interior is nice. Pretty solidmiddle of the road restaurant if you want good portions for good prices but don't care to much about the customer service.

Food was delicious but service needs work. Wait staff didn?t offer any refills or check on me once. Needed ketchup too. I didn?t... know you pay up front so I sat there for a while. I?ll be back, food was great and place was clean and in nice area. Read more
This place is awful. High pitch constant noise coming from the kitchen that drove my tinnitus crazy. Mentioned it twice and they... said it was the toaster. My scramble came with gobs of wet unmelted cheese, burnt eggs, and flavorless vegetables. My biscuitwas spongy and barely cooked through. My husband ordered something with gravy and it was powdered and flavorless. Our booth andthe wall we were next to started vibrating loudly as a machined came on next door. The server failed to notice when I didn't eatany of my food and couldn't care less about our experience. Won't be going back. Read more
Great quick stop breakfast place, it was like a hundred degrees outside but absolutely worth the food and the service was great!... Price was decent and the setting was right off the freeway. Read more

This is my neighborhood hidden gem!! I never have to wait coming here and get seated right away, food comes out quickly and... delicious every time. What other place can you find in Portland that you can get a scrumptious meal and be in and out in an houron a Saturday brunch time. Their homemade biscuits are so fluffy, warm and fresh. Absolutely ALL of their foods are top notch.They have the best servers and cooks and overall my go to brunch place. I secretly don?t want this hidden gem to be discoveredbut they?re such a great business and deserve all the support Portland has to offer! Also! I?m not sure why the business hourskeep changing back on google but they are open daily 8am to 3pm! Read more
Stumbled upon this hidden gem! We ordered the chicken fried steak and the spinach omelet and they were both fantastic. We... enjoyed a mimosa and had great service from Jay. Highly recommend 10 out of 10! Read more
