Reviews for Vertical Diner in Portland, OR
What a fantastic experience - the most lovely waitress served me, I wish I knew her name! Every recommendation was absolutely... exquisite! It’s like she knew what I wanted before I even sat down. I got the mountain, the most refreshing creamy but lighticed chai (just perfect as she would call it), and some gravy to top off my breakfast and I just can’t say how deliciouseverything was. I’m so grateful to have stopped here and I can’t wait to come back! If not for the incredible food, I’dcome back for the warm interaction with such a lovely human being!! Please eat here!! You won’t regret it! Read more
The BEST Reuben ever. And hand cut fries. We didn't take pictures - it was all too delicious. We were driving North through... Oregon to Seattle and didn't want to deal with downtown traffic and found this gem - it's a gem I say! I wish it were closer toSeattle. It's definitely going to be on our Oregon itinerary from now on. I also saw that they have cherry coke. Will definitelytry that next time. Very cool place - I felt like we were in a movie. An actual diner - but all vegan! Read more
I’ll try to keep this short and PG because when I get this excited about food my language tends to get pretty colorful, but I... think I just found heaven on Earth. After the first bite alone, this place has shown me that I’ve never had a proper veganbreakfast before because wow wow wow. The quaintness of the restaurant, the food cooked and seasoned to perfection, plus theelectric music delivers everything you could want from a diner experience. My only complaint is that this place isn’t linedout the door with vegans from all over. As long as I’m in PDX I will be retuning and brining all my friends, plant based ornot. Really wish I could give more than 5 stars. If you’re viewing this review trying to decide where to eat, stop looking andget your a** here! Read more
The La Mesa is where it's at. Pancakes are smooth, love it. Amazing staff, quiet and clean place, amazing vegan food. I go here... every time I visit Portland Read more
Absolutely amazing food and service! I got the jackfruit burrito with red sauce - it was so good that I was tempted to lick my... plate clean!! Got their mashed potatoes and gravy on the side and this was probably some of the best vegan gravy I've had in along time! I would highly recommend this place. Read more
Absolutely amazing diner for a quick bite (especially for the vegan and gluten free). Our waitress was so sweet, I didn't catch... her name, but she took excellent care of us. From the chips and guacamole, down to the carrot cake - Holy cow all of it isdelicious! No, the carrot cake is not gluten free, but it's worth the pain LOL. Read more
I was very excited to find a breakfast place with many gluten free vegan options on the menu. The dinner had a 1950s vibe to it.... The staff was nice and willing to help with accommodations for food allergies. The food quality was really good on the mountainscramble. There was lots of flavor and came with a choice of guac or cheese sauce...both of which were delicious with thedish..which was also cooked perfectly. I was excited that there was a gluten free pancakes option, and the mix ins for thepancakes. The gluten free vegan chocolate chip pancake was disappointing and borderline inedible. It was tough and tasted likecorn...not even like chocolate despite there being chocolate chips in the pancake. My fiance ordered a burger. He wasn'timpressed with the patty and stated a beyond or impossible would have been better. The fresh cut fries he ordered with theburger were perfect and some of the best you can get in town. Overall, some items on the menu are better than others. I wouldrecommend the owner review their menu and change some of the items. The patties on the burgers were ok. Beyond or impossiblepatties are better. The gluten free pancake tasted like a bad corn bread that was over baked. I would recommend revisiting thebatter and making some updates. I gave 3 stars because the staff was great and some of the dishes are awesome. Read more
Very cute places! Great staff (love Connie) and good vegan food! I loved the Reuben sandwich, Philly cheese steak was good and... the lettuce wraps were pretty good. The chicken nuggets were not my favorite. Would definitely go back there! Read more
