Reviews for Bertie Lou's Cafe in Portland, OR
One of our favorite Portland tiny diners. Great food, tons of charm, Portland classic quirky, charming and fun wait staff.
Had a great time at this little local diner. The menu was extensive and funny, and the service was friendly and quick. Outdoor... seating filled up quickly, but we were able to eat inside and enjoy framed napkin art. Great eggs Benedict, I got the Larry. Mycoffee cup was always full because of the attentive server ?

Imagine this; it?s your first time visiting Portland, you wanna experience the best things the city has to offer. For me,... personally, I always search for the best food joints because that?s how I like to experience a new city. Now imagine, it?sSunday morning, the hottest day of the year, you?re getting ready for a 6-hour drive back home and all you can think about isgetting some breakfast to keep you fuelled through the trip. Took an extra 20 minutes, 15 minutes if I?d taken the right exitthe first time, out of our way to this small cafe on the edge of Southeast Portland and was it worth it! I?m no gravy expert,but the gravy and biscuit at this joint is fantastic. I had ?The Works? which included all your breakfast essentials; sausages,eggs, home fries, and of course the biscuits and gravy. The atmosphere was welcoming and lively, and the service from everyonewas friendly. The wait for our food? It was brought to our table by the chef and I would barely consider it a ?wait?. Overallimpression; Fast, Friendly; Freaking Delicious. Worth the detour, and worth driving back 6-hours for. 5.1 ??s Read more
Come early and come hungry! Limited indoor seating and you need proof of vaccination. I got the cinnamon roll French toast... because I?m incorrigible when it comes to sugar. Boyfriend got The Sellwood. Would definitely come back. Classic breakfast stop. Read more
You're tired; you lost sleep worrying about the world last night. You walk into an incredibly cozy café with the friendliest... waitress in the world (who was apparently a regular for 8 years and wound up getting hired as a result), in addition to singinga little Sheryl Crow with said waitress and another patron. You then proceed to have one of THE BEST eggs benedicts you've everlaid eyes on: The Reverend Mike; a gorgeous grilled English muffin topped with savory corned beef, perfectly poached eggs, and acascade of Dijon Hollandaise that you will sop up with fantastically crisp potatoes. This dang thing is going to take you tochurch in the best ways possible because it's just that delicious. The dish, the atmosphere, the service -- all of it will haveyou smiling by the time you're done. If you need cheering up hit up Bertie Lou's; it does a body good. Read more
Came across these old pictures that I took a while back, so thought I would write a little review. I have only been here a... couple times, but their breakfast and brunch foods are awesome (no doubt)! Simple, no frills, and very tasty! Not to mentionthat I love the old, unique, classic American feel that this place has? It feels like you are stepping back in time, and it isvery charming! I also loved the decor and the friendly service here. Read more
Their reputation speaks for itself, great service and the food was amazing. We had the chicken fried steak with sourdough and... house potatoes, which was perfectly done, the gravy was superb. Also, had the corn beef hash, can't go wrong with either. 5stars!!???????? Read more
The service was fast and amazing. There was no time in which our drinks were ever close to empty. The food was, as simply as I... can put it, crazy good! The portion sizes were abundant. But what I cant get over is how fast our food came out. It felt like wehad just ordered, started looking around the room at all the artwork, and then boom food was on our table. While we were there aguy came in, walked into to dining area and points at something he drew over 10 years ago! This place is a gem and everyoneshould experience it at least once, we are going back tomorrow! Read more
