Bertielou's Cafe, Portland, Oregon Restaurant Details

Food:

Claustrophobic, greasy, and worn. The food is good but not fantastic and the service is passable. Despite its obvious shortcomings, Bertie Lou's has an x factor and a unique, local feel that few places capture. Perhaps what attracts patrons more than anything is that despite being self-conscious about its semi-cult status, it still manages to be unpretentious. Anyone who thinks fondly of neighborhood greasy spoon diners of yore will find something to love here. By the time you leave you'll either be happy to go or already be plotting your return. Maybe both.

Food:

Intimate setting, prompt service, fair prices, great food. He ordered the Works (sausage, biscuit and gravy, eggs, home fries, and bacon) and I got the ham croissant with home fries. We were impressed!

Food:

Short wait for a cozy place... Friendly staff, wonderful, straight-forward food. Highly recommend Father Mike Benedict!

Food:

Damn son. My girlfriend and I went here and there was only 2 workers (one cooking and one serving/hosting/washing dishes) and it was MAGICAL. The food was so good and the workers were amazingly calm and polite.

Food:

The best breakfast food I have ever had!!! Amazing staff and prices! Two of us ate like kings for $25. I would recommend this to anyone!
