What People Are Saying About Gateway Breakfast House

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.

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!

If you're searching for the best-kept secret in Portland, look no further than Gateway Breakfast House. Sure, it's a greasy spoon. Yes, you get the feeling the building could collapse on top of you at any time. And I admit, the decor looks like the it came off the discount racks at a thrift store. But once your plate arrives you'll forget all of that. The portions were so large that I ate all I could and had trouble fitting the remainder into a to-go box. I'm very particular about the way my eggs are cooked, and when I requested them "lightly basted, if possible," my server laughed and told me "nothing's impossible with our cooks." They were perfect! A sign on the wall declares "Tasty food and tasteless conversation served daily," and half the fun of my experience there was to listen to the familiar banter between the waitresses and their regulars. This is a terrific, friendly place that anyone with an appetite and a personality would be foolish not to try. If you're heading there on the weekend, get there early. The word is getting out about this place. See you there.
