DELICIOUS

by portlandhuman at Citysearch

its worth the wait on the weekend when you are hung over.

but the food isn't just a hangover cure. its always good. so many awesome egg dishes. drinks are awesome.

every time i've been there, the staff was really friendly and accommodating regardless of how insanely busy it was.

• Pros: friendly staff. fresh fruit.
• Cons: might have to wait in line.

Many Good Restaurants in Portland, but this is NOT one!

by RichardWilliams at Citysearch

I eat out a lot. There are many good places here in Portland - Helser's is NOT one of them!

Don't waste your time or money. These people do not know how to cook food or serve it. (or how to keep a place clean!!)

• Pros: They are closed most of the time!
• Cons: Sometimes they are open!

One of the Best Breakfast Places in Town

by J40 at Citysearch

One of the best breakfast places in town.A variety of different dishes on menu so don't always have your favorite, try something new.What good restaurant doesn't have a wait.Peak breakfast hours are very busy, so be prepared. If you don't like to wait then call ahead, Helser staff will glady take your name and add it to the waiting list. Just make sure that you are there on time and all of your party is present as they are a smaller restaurant and can not wait to seat you.Kids are always welcome at Helsers, they have a menu for kids, cups with lids, coloring and toys available in the front.My sister takes her 3 kids in all the time and has never been snubbed, so I find that statement to be false. My visits have always been good and sometimes you have to adjust to the atmosphere, the atmosphere does not adjust to you. No one would ever be happy then.

• Pros: Great food
