Cheryl's On 12th - Portland

Very friendly staff and great food! Had the Portuguese fried rice to go. The woman at the counter recommended some hot sauce with it and nailed it.

My wife and I stayed downtown, and we grabbed brunch here. Great food. Very busy, but the wait was just a few minutes. I recommend the back room, as it's much quieter.

The owner Ed came and spoke with our table several times despite the very full dining room, even delivering our food. He is very engaged and clearly cares for the restaurant. The manager Christina(? Visited our table, also very pleasant and checking about our visit. Our server Piper was a charming and witty person and left the three of us wanting for nothing. We had three different meals and cocktails, one appetizer. We didn't leave a morsel behind. I strongly recommend this restaurant even if you must wait a while to get a table as we did on the very busy Saturday morning! (20-25 minutes

My very favorite breakfast/lunch/brunch spot in Portland. Free Beignets with every meal! I love the Croque Madame and the Hash browns. Short waittime, even during busy periods especially if you are a small party.

Are we doing a little better yet? Can 't say enough about the manager 's response when our server dropped the ball. We weren 't given silverware and our orders were wrong and our server hadn 't come by in a while so we stole silverware from a different table and flagged another server who told the manager who immediately took action to improve our experience. By the time we left, there was nothing more they could have done to address what went wrong. I was really impressed and would happily go back and support such great staff
