Vegan chicken and waffles - Edit
Had the vegan chicken and waffles…
Read moreIt 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.

Excellent breakfast - Edit
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!

Go to brunch spot - Edit
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 - Edit
My husband and I really love the meatloaf Benedict and the breakfast burrito was pretty good too.
Read moreWe 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 - Edit
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

Still off the chain - Edit
Classic vegan brunch. I used to work at the ANd Cafe that was this place’s precursor and it still hits the spot. Recommend all of the brunch items and if you drink, bloody Mary’s

Tasty breakfast and lunch in Foster! - Edit
Our second time coming to Off the Griddle. Great vibe. Great music. Tasty food and nice variety. Public service All advertise that all items are vegan however they will make items with dairy and eggs if requested. Had the tasty brunch wrap with fries and a side of coleslaw. Husband had chorizo burrito. Always a good place for tasty food.

Really really good breakfast - Edit
We ordered the Goddess Bowl and the Blue Plate. Both were great but the Goddess Bowl was the winner. The menu is default vegan but eggs/dairy can be added (bummer). We ate outside on a beautiful sunny day. Parking was easy. The staff was friendly and service was fast. Definitely recommended!

Incredibly fast service, pretty good food - Edit
I always like it when a place makes their own meats so they get a star just for that. Went for brunch and was satisfied. It felt like real food, not too greasy or anything like that. Food you feel good about eat. I wasn’t blown away by the flavour or anything, but a solid brunch option. No real complaints. Service was extremely fast especially considering it was a busy brunch time.

Definitely a solid breakfast/brunch option. - Edit
My partner and I stopped by for a late brunch and I have to say I was pretty pleased! The portions are HUGE so be prepared to pack some home or split it with someone if leftovers are not your thing. They have an assortment of classics and some very inventive stuffed waffles (savory and sweet). The only two let downs for me was the tempeh bacon that tasted like yucca and the bland kombucha. The server seemed to be guiding me towards the other flavor but I didn’t listen, so that’s on me.
Read morePros: Vegan forward menu with huge portions, Super friendly staff and very clean restaurant , Great biscuits and gravy.

Delicious Breakfast/Brunch spot - Edit
I've been here several times with my omnivore friends and they've LOVED it. It's usually busy especially around 11am but I got lucky and showed up around 9 am and got a table right away. The Mac and cheese is mine and my partners favorite! The waffles are so filling, the tofu scramble is well seasoned and herby, and the tempeh bacon is my hands-down favorite way to eat tempeh!
Read morePros: Clearly labeled menu, Kind staff, Cute spot
Cons: Can get busy so plan accordingly
