Reviews for Gateway Breakfast House in Portland, OR
We absolutely LOVED this place. We paid HALF of what the downtown trendy places charged and not only did we get TWICE the food... but we had friendly service and were simply treated much better. We were made to feel comfortable as soon as we walked in. Ourwaitress was awesome too! She was funny and charming and kept every table in a good mood. The food was comforting, delicious andabundant! Basically, we will always stop in to eat here when we're in Portland. Read more

The service was amazing. They all had smiles, were very personable. The food was great. It was our first time there and won't be... our last. Took my out of town Grandparents. Definitely a great breakfast. Read more
Just had breakfast here and it was okay, the gravy had to much flour and compared to Tik Tok I'll stay with Tik Tok for my... gravy. However, the rest of the meal was good. Read more
Nice place, good food but wait times can be completely ridiculous. Put my name on the list with only 3 people ahead of me.... Waited almost an hour and a half to be seated. If you see more than one person ahead of you, you may want to consider going downthe street to one of the other breakfast places. Update: I was actually trying to be nice about it but the truth is that wewaited more than an hour and a half and one of the people ahead of us left before being seated. The service and food was verygood. I will go back again. But people should be warned before encountering this themselves so they can entertain other optionsif they don't have time for it. This is not a bad review against the business but rather fair warning to those that want to comeand enjoy the good food. UPDATE: I went back after the covid restrictions were lifted and it is a far better experience now. Theturnover is much faster and overall is now a pleasant experience. Great people and very good food. Large portion sizes andcooked beautifully. I will be back. Read more
I've been going here since 2004 when I moved to the area and have never ever been disappointed once - aside from the long wait... ;). I've since moved from the area but will occasionally make the trip when we decide to eat out for breakfast. I can honestlysay that I don't think I've ever eaten at any other breakfast spot that comes close to the quality that you get here. I alsohave yet to find a place that also delivers huge portions as they do here. I recently heard that ownership had changed withinthe last few years and I was worried that things would be changed and the employees would be replaced. I held hope because Ijust couldn't see that being a very smart business move as this diner has made itself a reputation that would easily crumblewith such drastic changes. I was so glad to see familiar faces and the same yummy food I have throughout the years. Be preparedfor a good wait. Its to be expected for such a popular place. I promise the wait will be more than worth it. The customerservice is pretty straight forward. Not overly friendly bur not rude. Every once in awhile Ill get very friendly server buteither way, Its never bad service. Just .... Rushed(?) For lack of a better word. But again, to be expected with such a popularplace with constant flow of customers. These guys literally are on go mode entire shift so honestly im surprised they don'thave crabby attitudes lol. I try to tip high here as I know they work their tails off and its also nice to see the same facesfor years on end. I recommend the Country Breakfast. My husband suggests the same and my dad always loved the Farmers Daughteromelette with country gravy on top! I just love their traditional waffles!!! So don't forget one of those! Read more
Really great spot. Coffee was surprisingly good. Would definitely stop here again! We got the waffles, French toast, eggs, and... sausage links. Also, the rumors are true, Obama is here. Read more
I've been wanting to go here for years and finally today was the day. I was not disappointed. Carrie was our server and she was... awesome. Very friendly and attentive. Told us a funny joke. I had a cheese burger with fries and it was delicious. It was alarge burger and it filled me up. My friend had the Ruben sandwich and it looked great. The prices are very reasonable and theportions are large. Can't wait to go back for breakfast. Read more
