Reviews for Grand Stark Deli in Portland, OR
Very worthy of a 5 star review. I had the cast iron pancake and the eggs benedict with avocado and potatoes. You can tell this... food is made to order. I never knew an english muffin could be so good. The cast iron pancake had cornmeal which gave it greattexture and the berry compote was not overly sweet. Grand Stark Deli is what brunch dreams are made of!!! Read more
Well priced and yummy breakfast and coffee in a beautiful space. As someone who loves Jewish delis I was a little disappointed... by the salmon bagel situation because it wasn?t what I was expecting, but everything was yummy nonetheless. Great spot to workor to meet up with friends. Read more
It is rare that I eat a baked good that elicits such a strong reaction. The sticky bun we had alongside our standard eggs based... breakfast was truly special. I'm actually upset I'm only staying in the attached hotel for a single night. I don't know how theynailed the combination of crispy, sticky, chewy dough with perfectly not-too-cream-cheesy icing but they did. Bravo. Read more
All the stuff that?s made in house is fantastic - I only wish they would make their own corned beef and pastrami!
The Reuben was delicious! A wide, but not too tall sandwich with a good amount of meat, kraut, and fixings. I really enjoyed... that the thousand island was not as thick and goopy as other dressings and the balance of all the ingredients and flavors wasexcellent. The space is bright with a good number of tables and light coming in from the windows. Staff is friendly with quickservice and attentive managers make sure customers are taken care of. I'd come back for sure to try other menu items. My twocriticisms are 1) the kraut had some big chunks in it and might need to get get shredded/chopped a bit and 2) the bottom of thesandwich got super soggy. Either draining the kraut before putting it on the sandwich or grilling both sides of the bread wouldgo a long way to keeping that bottom slice edible. I just flipped the sandwich over and made it an open face with one slice ofbread. I'm still giving it five stars though because the flavor of the bread, meat, sauce, and kraut were all so delicious and Ireally enjoyed that the inside of the bread was grilled. Fixing the sogginess would make the sando perfect! Read more
Great new find! Take a number and bus your own system. Warning, the cast iron pancakes are huuuuuuge. Drip coffee is just as it... should be, delicious. However, refills would make it better. Staff are super friendly. Also a colorful place for kiddos. Read more
Phenomenal. Everything we had was out of this world! The cast iron pancake is perfect ? like an inch thick and made with a touch... of cornmeal for a texture like no other. The eggs Benedict was also a knockout, and I wanted to try every one of their delicioushomemade English muffins. I will absolutely be back! Read more
Excellent! Cute, hip, trendy; all the categories. Approachable and relaxed, brightly lit and colored, with from-scratch... offerings. Indoor seating only, but, there's plenty. Paid street parking, which is a bit sketch because of the highway, andneighborhood, but, inside is really comfortable. Ordered the eggs benedict; house made english muffin (option of regular, oreverything seasoning), topped with thinly sliced and lightly grilled ham, and a decent hollandaise. Comes with house potatoes(sorry, no sub for a side of greens), but, they do something magical with thier spuds; double fried with lowry's seasoningmaybe? Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and perfectly executed. Just awesome. House drip is by Good Coffee; creamerhad to be handed over and the only sweeteners were raw sugar and stevia. Total after 20% tip was $18ish. Pastry counter lookedincredible, and I'll definately be returning for the yogart bar. A few young profs, plugged in and churning away, and thefriendly trendy hotel lobby is all included in the open floor plan. 10/10 recommended breakfast spot. Read more
