We're testing a new design in Portland, OR Metro.
It doesn't have all the bells and whistles yet,
but we want to know what you think.
If you prefer, switch to old Citysearch.

Traditional diner with daily specials, consistent quality food, a true soda fountain and no frills. Small & busy!
BluePlate is awesome.
I've been to the BluePlate many times, as it is close to my work. Food is consistently great. The owner/manager/cook has a true knack for
making somewhat ordinary diner plates extraordinary.
Highly recommended.

Not a good place to have a business lunch. I attempted to have a business lunch at the Blue Plate today. The food came quickly (which is good), but so did the bill. When my client and I tried to continue our discussion after cleaning off our plates, we were asked to leave so they could free up the table for others. I can understand the reasoning, but it was a little embarrasing given that I was hosting the client (the Blue Plate was my idea) and we were forced to to take our conversation outside into the rain. Bummer. Don't get me wrong, this is a great place if you need to grab a quick bite with a buddy, but I really don't recommend entertaining clients here. View Less …
Slider/Milkshake Heaven.
I'm not sure why some of the other reviewers for this restaurant had complaints about the service. Perhaps they mistook "busy" for "rude".
There was just the owner and two waitresses when I went, and they didn't have a lot of time to stop and say "hi" and seat you and chat you up. I didn't mind this, it meant that I got my food faster.
As for some of the 1-star reviews that I've read for this restaurant: the owner must have hired different girls, because that's the only explanation for the 180-degree difference between their stories and mine.
I happened to arrive at 12pm, which as it turns out is their single busiest time of the day. So I had to wait about 30 minutes for a table. But once we got seated the service was quick and friendly. But not over-friendly in a fake way: I appreciated that. The waitresses were quick and efficient.
The food...oh, the food. The sliders were so good, and the sauce on it was so tasty, that I didn't need to eat it with ketchup. And I always eat burgers with ketchup. The chocolate malt was so good that I just couldn't stop drinking it once I started. Addictive. I almost had to order another one.
DO NOT LISTEN TO THE BAD REVIEWS FOR BLUEPLATE. It was fantastic. Besides, if it's good enough for Guy from the Food Channel to show up there, it is in the top 1% of all food joints in the United States.

Tried it for the first time, don't think I will go back.. I was really craving a chocolate malt so I googled soda fountains in portland and found blueplate. It was really close to my work so I thought i would give it a try. I walked in and the waitress (who did not look too happy that she was working) asked me to take a seat. I told her that I just wanted a drink to go. I asked for a chocolate mint malt and she told me they didn't have mint. Ok, no big deal...I ordered vanilla milkshakes. The cook (who was very nice) told me they only carry mint at xmas. I waited a few minutes for my milkshake, paid and walked out. My issue with this place is that the waitress never once smiled or treated me like a valued customer. Perhaps she was having a bad day? I don't know, but I don't think I will be back. View Less …
