Futuristic

Without any doubt I enjoyed everything I ordered. This is the first and only restaurant where I saw the business default to plant-based ingredients, and up-charge customers to substitute with animal based counterparts such as dairy and eggs. Way to go!

10/10 no notes

Is this my favorite brekkie place? Sure is. The brisket hash is heaven on a plate and the breakfast sandwich is the perfect pairing (I get it a la carte). OTG is the BEST.

Pros: Delicious food - mostly vegan, Friendly staff, Patio seating when it’s not raining!

Another vegan diner!!!

Really, really unfair that a city the size of Portland gets to have multiple vegan diners. This is another great one. Really enjoyed my chorizo breakfast burrito.

Hashtaaastic

If you’re a “give me a pile of delicious vegetables with some tasty protein” vegan: Do yourself a favor & get the hashtastic with a side of tempeh bacon to cube up & mix in…sooooo good –would eat this every day. I love that their cashew “ricotta” had texture/was more like riced cashews or something

(Prob skip the fruit cup, though – pre-cut bananas don’t hold up, & a surprising amount of apple core included!)

Pros: Tasty tempeh bacon, Vegggies, The staff was so chill

Cons: Disappointing fruit cup, Strawberry lemonade was sooo sweet!

Always good

Off the Griddle is always good but I never quite enjoy it as much as their older restaurant A.N.D. Cafe. It's still always good though!

Fun and interesting food choices

They have a lot to choose from. The meatloaf Benedict was good. I would say this is an excellent place for a big gutlump.

Pros: Vegan by default , Reasonably priced , Tasty and fun

So good, may go back during this trip

The meatloaf Benedict was amazing. Only con was they wouldn’t share the recipe.

Another good place with vegan and gluten free options.

Pros: Biscuit was really good, Friendly staff, Good coffee

Cons: Too many things I wanted to try

Really tasty fast service food

The food was pretty tasty, I got a mixed veg hash with ricotta and asked to have jackfruit on top which was great. My partner got the mac and cheese which he loved. Portions were really big so we took some home to enjoy😄

Vegan chicken and waffles

Had the vegan chicken and waffles…
It wasn’t that bad, the Hash browns weren’t that bad either.
I tried this place again to see if my first review was just a fluke.
I’m sure for people who have never had great tasting vegan chicken and waffles before, this place is amazing..

The chicken and waffles were that bad, and the Hash browns were that bad also.

Pros: It’s local, support local businesses , Chill atmosphere, coffee, Friendly servers

Cons: Some of the dishes are a hot mess, Too expensive for what it tastes like

Excellent breakfast

I"m not sure why OTG doesn't show up under breakfast options on this app - they open at 9am and have some of the best traditional breakfast options in the city! Vegan eggs, sausage, gluten free biscuits and more. It's my favorite!

Pros: Vegan forward, Traditional breakfast, Awesome staff

Go to brunch spot

Everything we’ve had here is awesome. This is our go to vegan brunch spot in portland and that is saying a lot because there is a lot of options out there. Super friendly staff. Try to save room for one of their signature cinnamon buns. The Full Mess and Jackfruit Brisket with tofu scramble are a couple of our favorites. Free refills on coffee.

Some good choices

My husband and I really love the meatloaf Benedict and the breakfast burrito was pretty good too.

We have found that their soyrizo and buffalo sauce items are unbearably salty. Their ketchup is very salty too.

I do like this place as long as I stay away from those extra salty items.

Pros: Meatloaf Benedict

Cons: Some items very very salty

Fun, laid back vibes, easy brunch spot with a wide, plant based by default menu! It was fun to hear other people in the dining room modify their meals to include eggs or cheese for a change. Tempeh Bacon is 🔥

95% vegan with eggs and dairy upon request

The default menu is vegan with vegan hollandaise sauce and cheeses. Can request to sub tofu scramble with eggs or add dairy cheese. They serve brunch daily with seating inside as well as picnic tables outside. Street parking. Tried the meatloaf as I was curious about walnut meat and it was really well spiced and flavorful. Their tofu scramble was actually the best I’ve ever had, they pan fried it until it had a nice crust to it, very delicious. Hollandaise sauce was super yummy. Love this diner as the prices are reasonable and the serving size plenty. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Local artists works line the walls

Pros: Default is vegan, Innovative meatloaf and brisket, Friendly staff

My Portland stop!

Always stop by when I visit Portland! They have the mushroom melt waffle that I keep coming back for.
Tip: sub the ranch for the cashew cream and ask for syrup😄
Sometimes takes a bit for the food to come out.
