Place for good food

by desireenb

This place was delicious. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his taco omelet and my country breakfast was very satisfying. The wait was a little long, but really nit that bad for a Sunday around 12:00. I will definitely go back again.

• Pros: Good sized hashbrown servings and delicious bacon
• Cons: The wait is a little slow on weekends

We were treated like dirt

by Lgood

First please understand that I have never written a review before, but I felt obligated to write something because of how they treated us. They do not have disability parking, and it was really hard to move around the building because of the proximity of the tables. Although the small size of the parking area may not necessarily require disabled parking, it would be nice. The problem was with the wait staff, the server was incredibly rude and seemed like she was doing us a favor just by taking our orders. We placed our orders and when they arrived, although they are fast in their service, the order was complete wrong. When we explained this to the server, she seemed upset that we would not eat the food anyway and took the plates away while trying to slam plates and generally make as much noise as possible. Once our corrected order arrived, we thought everything would be fine. I ate about half my vegetarian meal when I bit into a big slice of bacon. Being a vegetarian, I was not expecting to find that in my meal. My friend and I being completely disgusted with the entire level of service decided to leave. I explained my situation to the cashier who was indifferent to our situation, and was glad that we were leaving. Overall, I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy.

• Pros: Big portions of food
• Cons: The waitress and staff treated us like dirt

The best greasy spoon in portland!

by AnnietheFoodie

The Gateway BH is a super locals joint! You usually see regulars and an occasional first timer. But, once you have eaten there you will not be sorry. The food is delicious, huge portions and quick. There is always a line (first come first serve/not list).

I never write reviews, but this place rules!!!! The hash-browns must be dipped in butter, so delicious!

This place isn't for the light eater, veggie (thought they do make a veggie omelette), vegan or picky (diet) eater.

If you want a small portion, order a l carte. But, really whatever you do enjoy!

• Pros: Big portions, yummy greasy spoon food, fast, friendly service wait isn't too bad...
• Cons: Ambience is not the best but who cares! There usually is a wait, not much of a waiting area.
