Great breakfast fare. I'm not a huge gravy fan, but they gave us a sample and it was delicious. Had sweet potato pancakes that rocked. And our server was awesome!

I've been meaning to try Biscuits for a while now since I frequently drive by it's division st location. I tried the veggie head omelet and while the biscuits were great, the rest of the meal was less so. I could tell that the "fresh" veggie ingredients were from a frozen bag of pre prepped peppers and onions and the flavor suffered from it. Since there are much better breakfast options in Gresham, I won't be coming back. The wait staff was the only highlight and the reason my review has more than one star.

Had wanted to try this place because I'm a lover of all things breakfast. I can now say I've tried it, won't be back. Every bit of our food tasted as if it had come straight from the freezer bag to the cooktop. There are too many other restaurant choices that offer fresh, well- prepared food to resort to this. The biscuits and the jelly were yummy. Everything else, including the eggs, was flavorless. I gave it two stars because the staff was nice and attentive.

If you just want huge portion sized breakfast food then this place is for you. But it is the blandest food ever. I don't know how a place specializing in breakfast could be completely lacking in any and all flavor. The restaurant is chilly, and has no ambience. I've had to come a few times because others wanted to go so I've given it a fair chance! Won't be going back.

Food was great. Bacon crisp, hash browns perfect, biscuits tasty and the strawberry jam was just sweet enough. The servers were attentive and interested. This would be 5 stars if coffee was better - and served with cream, not packaged stuff. Although this is in strip mall, it is definitely worth trying for a great breakfast.

Marc B.
Had the Joe' Scramble, the waiter mentioned servings were large so the two of split the meal, which was more than enough for both of us. The food was good and served hot, loved the jams that were biscuits. If we could rate the server Benjamin, I would give his service a FIVE star rating, he was awesome!

We drive by this cafe all the time and finally came on a Sunday morning for breakfast. It was awesome! We were seated right away, the staff was super friendly, and service was quick and consistent the whole visit. I ordered coffee (really good!) and the avocado benedict. I love a good eggs benedict and this was one of the best I've had. The sauce was incredible and the combo of avocados and tomatoes with the classic egg on a biscuit was perfect- I never want to have it with meat again! I literally raved about it the whole time we were eating. It's a cute place with pretty average prices, and great food.. and it's right down the street. I was impressed and will definitely be back!

Ruthie S.
Had a great mother's brunch. The food was amazing and the service was rocking. I must say I am impressed with how quickly we were sat, order taken, and served. It's a packed house in here and I don't think we waited more than 30 minutes from the time we were put the wait list to the time we were served. Not bad at all.

Biscuits was surprisingly good. Walked into what looked like a cafeteria and was expecting the food to be similar to the decor but I was wrong! I had a two egg plate with ham, hashbrowns, and biscuits. I'm not a huge fan of biscuits and usually I nibble a bit off of one and leave the rest for someone else but these biscuits were SO GOOD! Probably the best biscuits that I've had in a restaurant. The rest of my meal was delicious as well and I liked that I could have had pancakes instead of biscuits if I was in the mood for something sweeter. Service was decent. A little slow but friendly. I didn't get a chance to sign up but I hear they have a rewards program. If I'm ever in the area and want to go out for breakfast I'll be coming back here.

At first I was a bit hesitant to come here, but now I am so glad I did. Good food, large lunch and breakfast menu, friendly staff and good service all at a reasonable price. I would recommend trying it out .

We have been here a couple of times now, The food is Great! Tastes fresh and not frozen. The must have? Strawberry jam. With 4 of us, we have been able to try several menu items, All have been very good. Large Portions, flavored Coffee Creamers on the table. Our new favorite breakfast place!

Amy A.
Really good food, not bad pricing...my biggest complaint was that they don't take American Express and I wasn't made aware of this until I went to pay. I didn't see anything on the doors about what they do or don't take, I was just glad I had another form of payment.

Food was alright. Heard this place was a chain but was close to home. Sausage gravy was really good though. The buttermilk pancakes are super fluffy and dense. The only complaint was 4+ bucks for a large juice that wasn't really that large

Tayler B.
The first time I went here I wasn't impressed. I got a strawberry waffle and hated it. It was more cakey than a crispy waffle you would expect, and the strawberries were your typical thawed out gross frozen strawberries. It has redeemed itself since then and you could say I'm a regular. Me and my friends were going here every weekend for breakfast up until I just moved. Joes Scramble is a MUST (add mushrooms if you like them!), but they also have amazing French toast. The biscuits are really good too and I love their jam. The girls are all pretty friendly and you see them all on the weekends consistently. It is clean and has a cosey feel. I will miss this place and will for sure go whenever I visit Oregon!

Shawna P.
Food is so good, with large portions. Reasonably priced. Food is exactly what you expect to get. Coffee is good. Servers are all friendly but this is a popular place so sometimes it takes awhile to get the food but it's worth the wait. One suggestion, request to sit far away from the door if it's cold outside our you'll get a blast of cold air constantly.

Not very good. Overpriced and the food tastes like it's been sitting in a bucket for a week. You'd think at least the biscuits would be good, given that this is the name of the place, but those were also old and crusty. Omelette was actually okay.

Marc K.
I like this place. It's big, and bright, and open. The service is generally good. The portions are huge, and the food is consistently good. I especially like their breakfasts. They make things just how you order them, and can handle special requests. They do an amazing in-house corned beef, which I highly recommend. Overall, this place is quite solid. I can't figure out why they're not open for dinner..

It was good... from reading a review from the other wasn't expecting much.... great flavored red potatoes and pretty decent biscuits

This place is run by idiots! They are so disorganized they cannot figure out what is going on here. No designated hostess / cashier so you have to wait to get seated until a busser or waitress is available and after your meal you have to stand in a long line at an unoccupied register to beg to pay for your food. Went here for breakfast today with my wife, roomate, and friend. Took us at least five to seven minutes to get seated. The restaurant was at 30% capacity. The waitress took our drink order and brought us water that seemed to be in shot glasses. 90% of the glass was ice and I love water so I was disappointed that I would have to get a ton of refills. A table was seated after us and they recieved GIANT glasses of water for the whole table. Guess we werent good enough for the adult glasses of water. The whole meal I had to beg for water. I mean really? The waitress was a complete bitch and kept calling my wife and roomate "MAMA" I mean WTF is THAT supposed to mean anyways. The food took about 40 minutes to come out of the kitchen and they didnt even bring out my roomates food until we asked for it. My wife and I were sharing a dish. They decided to charge us $2.50 for sharing a dish without even letting us know they were going to do that. Then when I didnt get one of my sides I asked for it and she added another $1.00 charge to the bill. WTF again! When my wife asked about the charges the waitress gave some lame reasoning for the extra charges but never once informed us BEFORE we ordered or at the time of ordering that there would be almost $5 in additional charges on the bill. $15. That is what my wife ended up paying for a meal with no drinks and two people sharing one dish. When we were leaving there was a line at the register and noone there to cash us out. We waited ten additional minutes at the register to beg the restaurant to let us pay for our food. They were running around like chickens and the restaurant was not even at half capacity. 40 minutes for breakfast food? I could make that from scratch at home in 20 minutes but wanted to enjoy the morning with friends and less cleanup. DO NOT EAT HERE. THIS PLACE IS AN INSULT TO HARD WORKING AMERICANS WHO PAY THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY TO EAT OUT AND ENJOY FELLOWSHIP WITH FRIENDS. You should be ashamed of yourselves for the way my table was treated, being overcharged, and called "MAMA" WTF is that about? I believe the waitress's name was Rachel, but not sure as a thin girl with glasses actually cashed me out. I will never eat here again and I will be complaining to corporate about the waitress who called everyone "MAMA" how fucking unprofessional is that? And what does it imply. That were fat, old, or what? NEVER WILL COME BACK HERE AGAIN.

I tried just about everything on the menu here while I was visiting Portland and it was all VERY good. The red potatoes, hashbrowns, biscuits and gravy, pancakes, biscuits and jelly, eggs (over medium), bacon, corned beef hash, and even the coffee.....that was in 2 visits!!! That was a week and a half ago and I'm still working it off. Gooooood stuff.

It was a hard decision to go to Biscuits Cafe! I read several reviews before we decided to try it. Since many people emphasized on their dirty dining experience, my fiance and I watched them like hawks. The place was clean and smelled clean, like Pine Sol. Although it was kind of annoying, when you're trying to enjoy your food. We didn't see anything abnormal, like serving food items that were dropped on the floor. I ordered their biscuits and gravy, while my fiance ordered their mac 'n cheese. All I can say is: over-priced grades C-D food! My biscuit was fluffy, but nothing special about their gravy. It was actually a little cold when I got it. Their mac 'n cheese tasted like Kraft's mac 'n cheese from the box!!!! Not cool! Why would I want to pay for something I can make at home?! On top of that, a box of Kraft mac 'n cheese is like $1, while we paid $10-something for that?! Overall, food wasn't impressive, place was clean, and our server was very sweet, but I think I'll stick to Sweet Betty's if I plan on brunching in Gresham.

Whenever we visit friends in Portland we usually have a weekend breakfast at Biscuits. There are at least 4 and sometimes as many as 8 of us in a group and everyone seems to find something they enjoy at a reasonable price. So keep that in mind because I would normally give Biscuits 3 or 4 stars but last Sunday (1-1-12) they seemed to have dropped the ball, at least at 1908 NE Division. I hope it isn't a trend. Of the 6 of us one ordered sweet potato pancakes. When his order came he had ONE pancake. This baffled us because it should have had 2 or maybe 3 pancakes. I don't think he ever got the eggs that should have come with his order. At least one other order wasn't right. Fortunately my eggs benedict were perfect. At one point a waitress was picking up an order of toast and dropped one of the halves on the floor. She quickly picked it up but instead of tossing it in the trash she threw it back on the big cutting board next to the toast machine. Eewww. This right in front of the guy who must have been the manager. WTF? He didn't do or say anything, just left it lay. I was incredulous. Should I have gotten up from the table, walked over and asked him about it? After several minutes the board was wiped off but I don't believe it was "cleaned". I may have a '5 second rule' at home but that doesn't cut it at a restaurant. We quizzed the waitress about the sweet potato pancake order and she said it was right but noticed when we cashed the bill for the pancake was $7.50 not $8.99. And we couldn't find any pancake item on the menu for $7.50. WTF? I'd give them a B on the food and the value, a C on the service and a D on cleanliness. May go back again but I'm going to question everything and watch 'em like a hawk to make sure I don't get a breakfast that spent time on their floor.

FOOD: C- DRINKS: coffee was fine SERVICE: C- VIBE: D VALUE: B- I was mistakenly told that this cafe was on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives... it was not. That place was actually Pine State Biscuits. This place wouldn't make it on a show, unless it was a show called Average, Forgettable and Bland. That may be harsh, but really -- the food was nothing special. I had "made from scratch" corned beef hash and eggs with hashed browns and biscuits. The corned beef hash was just shredded, tough and room-temp corned beef. No "hash" about it. Tasteless scrambled eggs sat on top. I was warned not to get the hash browns (really, what kind of breakfast place can you be if the same person who took you there and told you it was on tv is also telling you not to get the HASH BROWNS, which should be so easy to make delicious?)... but I got them anyway. Eh. Not terrible. Mine were a perfect rectangle, obviously cut from a larger block on the flat-top. The biscuit was decent, with butter and strawberry jam. I had some of McK's bacon, and it was actually a little too thick and over-cooked. If you ruin bacon, you should not be allowed to serve it. Her pancakes, however, were very large and looked good. The service was slow and there were several problems with my table's order. When it takes forever to get the food, and then it's wrong, it's kind of hard to recover. The place itself is a big open room in a strip mall with generic tables and chairs packed in. Excusable if the food is awesome. Sadly, not the case.

I have not been to any of the other Biscuits locations, but the Gresham location is quite odd. The seating layout is one big open area, like a college campus cafeteria. The tables are so close together that I always get whacked in the back of the head by some ladies purse when she turns around. It really is an evesdroppers paradise because without any partitions you can filter your conversation through everyone elses. They always seem to be understaffed. The waitstaff runs around frantically but can't keep up. Twice I have had the waitress drop the check before we recieved our food. I am always afraid to ask for a refill because it seems like that might be the straw the breaks the camels back. Here's cheap advice - DO NOT GO NEAR THIS PLACE ON A HOLIDAY. The food really is nothing special. I would call it adaquate. You don't leave going 'I have to go back and try this next time", you go "I'm full, lets go". The kitchen might still be getting their routine down, because my breakfast never comes all at once. It's always "your 'toast/bacon/pancake/etc will be out in a minute.' Its is usually closer to five minutes. Biscuits tries to present themsleves as a 'home cookin' chain. I think they are closer to Elmers than they realize. Its just breakfast done "Meh".

This place was a refreshing change from the Gresham breakfast spots we are used to. Typically we choose from good food, grumpy service and high prices or not good with decent prices and staff. Breakfast at Biscuits Cafe was pleasant with a bright, open space, friendly and efficient service and good food. This will be our new breakfast spot!

This was our first visit and we will definitely be back the next time we are in town. Although it was a busy Sunday, we were seated quickly. Our server was very nice. Quick service, but not rushed. Our food was delicious and the portion sizes are large. We had biscuits & gravy, French toast, a chorizo omelette and chocolate chip pancakes. Yum!

This I have to say is a good hole in the wall breakfast place. The portions are quite large. I have a healthy apptitie and I couldnt finish the plate. The biscuts were homemade, good potatoes, and tasty gravy. My freind had a pancake stack on the side, normally you get two little pancakes at other diners. These were double sized, quad stacked pancakes were the syrup ran off the plate because they were so big. Cant wait to try something new at this place.

i have heard good and bad things about both locations of this breakfast joint. Went in today with a open mind and stimulated appetite. The service was dry and to the point, which is what I prefer when dinning on my first meal of the day. Too many pleasantries and I began to feel awkward. I gotta say that true to the name the biscuits were simple but really good. The eggs and hash browns were average but not too oily. I guess what items stood out the most in this place was the french toast, the bacon and the sausage. Without getting into too much detail they were solid in both flavour and quality . In a suburb full of fast food chains, corporate eateries, and lotto delis this is a pretty good choice. I will no doubt be back.

You should try this place. Even If you only come here to order a biscuit with the strawberry jam!!

I loved this place. The service was great, and the wait staff was attentive and very funny. I ordered the special Boysenberry hazelnut French toast, and it was awesome goodness, along with scrambled eggs and great chicken-apple sausage. I loved every bite. The prices are reasonable, and the menu is full of great choices. My 2 companions loved it also. This was our first time here. I was hesitant to recommend it because of all the less than stellar reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised. My experience was wonderful, yummy, and satisfying! I will definitely be back, even though it's miles from where I live.

Waited fifteen minutes at the table waiting to even be offered coffee, while other tables, seated after us, were served. Probably not good for business to forget customers. Strange too since our previous visit was great. I hope this isn't a trend developing.

Whenever we visit friends in Portland we usually have a weekend breakfast at Biscuits. There are at least 4 and sometimes as many as 8 of us in a group and everyone seems to find something they enjoy at a reasonable price. So keep that in mind because I would normally give Biscuits 3 or 4 stars but last Sunday (1-1-12) they seemed to have dropped the ball, at least at 1908 NE Division. I hope it isn't a trend. Of the 6 of us one ordered sweet potato pancakes. When his order came he had ONE pancake. This baffled us because it should have had 2 or maybe 3 pancakes. I don't think he ever got the eggs that should have come with his order. At least one other order wasn't right. Fortunately my eggs benedict were perfect. At one point a waitress was picking up an order of toast and dropped one of the halves on the floor. She quickly picked it up but instead of tossing it in the trash she threw it back on the big cutting board next to the toast machine. Eewww. This right in front of the guy who must have been the manager. WTF? He didn't do or say anything, just left it lay. I was incredulous. Should I have gotten up from the table, walked over and asked him about it? After several minutes the board was wiped off but I don't believe it was "cleaned". I may have a '5 second rule' at home but that doesn't cut it at a restaurant. We quizzed the waitress about the sweet potato pancake order and she said it was right but noticed when we cashed the bill for the pancake was $7.50 not $8.99. And we couldn't find any pancake item on the menu for $7.50. WTF? I'd give them a B on the food and the value, a C on the service and a D on cleanliness. May go back again but I'm going to question everything and watch 'em like a hawk to make sure I don't get a breakfast that spent time on their floor.

My favorite place for breakfast!! Everything is yummy! Service is always friendly. You gotta try it! Expect a wait though, it's always crowded.

FOOD: C- DRINKS: coffee was fine SERVICE: C- VIBE: D VALUE: B- I was mistakenly told that this cafe was on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives... it was not. That place was actually Pine State Biscuits. This place wouldn't make it on a show, unless it was a show called Average, Forgettable and Bland. That may be harsh, but really -- the food was nothing special. I had "made from scratch" corned beef hash and eggs with hashed browns and biscuits. The corned beef hash was just shredded, tough and room-temp corned beef. No "hash" about it. Tasteless scrambled eggs sat on top. I was warned not to get the hash browns (really, what kind of breakfast place can you be if the same person who took you there and told you it was on tv is also telling you not to get the HASH BROWNS, which should be so easy to make delicious?)... but I got them anyway. Eh. Not terrible. Mine were a perfect rectangle, obviously cut from a larger block on the flat-top. The biscuit was decent, with butter and strawberry jam. I had some of McK's bacon, and it was actually a little too thick and over-cooked. If you ruin bacon, you should not be allowed to serve it. Her pancakes, however, were very large and looked good. The service was slow and there were several problems with my table's order. When it takes forever to get the food, and then it's wrong, it's kind of hard to recover. The place itself is a big open room in a strip mall with generic tables and chairs packed in. Excusable if the food is awesome. Sadly, not the case.

I have not been to any of the other Biscuits locations, but the Gresham location is quite odd. The seating layout is one big open area, like a college campus cafeteria. The tables are so close together that I always get whacked in the back of the head by some ladies purse when she turns around. It really is an evesdroppers paradise because without any partitions you can filter your conversation through everyone elses. They always seem to be understaffed. The waitstaff runs around frantically but can't keep up. Twice I have had the waitress drop the check before we recieved our food. I am always afraid to ask for a refill because it seems like that might be the straw the breaks the camels back. Here's cheap advice - DO NOT GO NEAR THIS PLACE ON A HOLIDAY. The food really is nothing special. I would call it adaquate. You don't leave going 'I have to go back and try this next time", you go "I'm full, lets go". The kitchen might still be getting their routine down, because my breakfast never comes all at once. It's always "your 'toast/bacon/pancake/etc will be out in a minute.' Its is usually closer to five minutes. Biscuits tries to present themsleves as a 'home cookin' chain. I think they are closer to Elmers than they realize. Its just breakfast done "Meh".

This place was a refreshing change from the Gresham breakfast spots we are used to. Typically we choose from good food, grumpy service and high prices or not good with decent prices and staff. Breakfast at Biscuits Cafe was pleasant with a bright, open space, friendly and efficient service and good food. This will be our new breakfast spot!

This was our first visit and we will definitely be back the next time we are in town. Although it was a busy Sunday, we were seated quickly. Our server was very nice. Quick service, but not rushed. Our food was delicious and the portion sizes are large. We had biscuits & gravy, French toast, a chorizo omelette and chocolate chip pancakes. Yum!

i have heard good and bad things about both locations of this breakfast joint. Went in today with a open mind and stimulated appetite. The service was dry and to the point, which is what I prefer when dinning on my first meal of the day. Too many pleasantries and I began to feel awkward. I gotta say that true to the name the biscuits were simple but really good. The eggs and hash browns were average but not too oily. I guess what items stood out the most in this place was the french toast, the bacon and the sausage. Without getting into too much detail they were solid in both flavour and quality . In a suburb full of fast food chains, corporate eateries, and lotto delis this is a pretty good choice. I will no doubt be back.

Great breakfast fare. I'm not a huge gravy fan, but they gave us a sample and it was delicious. Had sweet potato pancakes that rocked. And our server was awesome!

I've been meaning to try Biscuits for a while now since I frequently drive by it's division st location. I tried the veggie head omelet and while the biscuits were great, the rest of the meal was less so. I could tell that the "fresh" veggie ingredients were from a frozen bag of pre prepped peppers and onions and the flavor suffered from it. Since there are much better breakfast options in Gresham, I won't be coming back. The wait staff was the only highlight and the reason my review has more than one star.
(2)Barbara C.
Had wanted to try this place because I'm a lover of all things breakfast. I can now say I've tried it, won't be back. Every bit of our food tasted as if it had come straight from the freezer bag to the cooktop. There are too many other restaurant choices that offer fresh, well- prepared food to resort to this. The biscuits and the jelly were yummy. Everything else, including the eggs, was flavorless. I gave it two stars because the staff was nice and attentive.
(2)Natalie R.
Exceptional service and wait staff. Best food and big portion. I am definitely coming back.
(5)Dotty L.
If you just want huge portion sized breakfast food then this place is for you. But it is the blandest food ever. I don't know how a place specializing in breakfast could be completely lacking in any and all flavor. The restaurant is chilly, and has no ambience. I've had to come a few times because others wanted to go so I've given it a fair chance! Won't be going back.
(1)Pam F.
Food was great. Bacon crisp, hash browns perfect, biscuits tasty and the strawberry jam was just sweet enough. The servers were attentive and interested. This would be 5 stars if coffee was better - and served with cream, not packaged stuff. Although this is in strip mall, it is definitely worth trying for a great breakfast.
(4)Marc B.
Had the Joe' Scramble, the waiter mentioned servings were large so the two of split the meal, which was more than enough for both of us. The food was good and served hot, loved the jams that were biscuits. If we could rate the server Benjamin, I would give his service a FIVE star rating, he was awesome!
(4)Andrea R.
We drive by this cafe all the time and finally came on a Sunday morning for breakfast. It was awesome! We were seated right away, the staff was super friendly, and service was quick and consistent the whole visit. I ordered coffee (really good!) and the avocado benedict. I love a good eggs benedict and this was one of the best I've had. The sauce was incredible and the combo of avocados and tomatoes with the classic egg on a biscuit was perfect- I never want to have it with meat again! I literally raved about it the whole time we were eating. It's a cute place with pretty average prices, and great food.. and it's right down the street. I was impressed and will definitely be back!
(5)Ruthie S.
Had a great mother's brunch. The food was amazing and the service was rocking. I must say I am impressed with how quickly we were sat, order taken, and served. It's a packed house in here and I don't think we waited more than 30 minutes from the time we were put the wait list to the time we were served. Not bad at all.
(5)Vivian N.
portions are GIGANTIC!! the servers are so nice, friendly & welcoming. this is only my second time here for breakfast but I definitely will be coming back when I can!!
(5)Caitlin M.
This is a great breakfast place! We had good food and fast, friendly service. Every time we visit Troutdale, OR we'll stop in for a sweet potato waffle and biscuits and gravy.
(5)Katherine V.
Biscuits was surprisingly good. Walked into what looked like a cafeteria and was expecting the food to be similar to the decor but I was wrong! I had a two egg plate with ham, hashbrowns, and biscuits. I'm not a huge fan of biscuits and usually I nibble a bit off of one and leave the rest for someone else but these biscuits were SO GOOD! Probably the best biscuits that I've had in a restaurant. The rest of my meal was delicious as well and I liked that I could have had pancakes instead of biscuits if I was in the mood for something sweeter. Service was decent. A little slow but friendly. I didn't get a chance to sign up but I hear they have a rewards program. If I'm ever in the area and want to go out for breakfast I'll be coming back here.
(4)Brian W.
At first I was a bit hesitant to come here, but now I am so glad I did. Good food, large lunch and breakfast menu, friendly staff and good service all at a reasonable price. I would recommend trying it out .
(4)Becky T.
We have been here a couple of times now, The food is Great! Tastes fresh and not frozen. The must have? Strawberry jam. With 4 of us, we have been able to try several menu items, All have been very good. Large Portions, flavored Coffee Creamers on the table. Our new favorite breakfast place!
(5)Amy A.
Really good food, not bad pricing...my biggest complaint was that they don't take American Express and I wasn't made aware of this until I went to pay. I didn't see anything on the doors about what they do or don't take, I was just glad I had another form of payment.
(4)Carrie T.
HUGE portions, delicious, friendly service, and the coffee does good things for the world!
(5)Angela F.
Food was alright. Heard this place was a chain but was close to home. Sausage gravy was really good though. The buttermilk pancakes are super fluffy and dense. The only complaint was 4+ bucks for a large juice that wasn't really that large
(3)Tayler B.
The first time I went here I wasn't impressed. I got a strawberry waffle and hated it. It was more cakey than a crispy waffle you would expect, and the strawberries were your typical thawed out gross frozen strawberries. It has redeemed itself since then and you could say I'm a regular. Me and my friends were going here every weekend for breakfast up until I just moved. Joes Scramble is a MUST (add mushrooms if you like them!), but they also have amazing French toast. The biscuits are really good too and I love their jam. The girls are all pretty friendly and you see them all on the weekends consistently. It is clean and has a cosey feel. I will miss this place and will for sure go whenever I visit Oregon!
(4)Shawna P.
Food is so good, with large portions. Reasonably priced. Food is exactly what you expect to get. Coffee is good. Servers are all friendly but this is a popular place so sometimes it takes awhile to get the food but it's worth the wait. One suggestion, request to sit far away from the door if it's cold outside our you'll get a blast of cold air constantly.
(4)Shawn M.
The portion sizes are extremely generous. Food is great and their coffee is really good.
(5)Patricia W.
Please don't clean windows with a strong spray cleaner while people are trying to eat your mediocre food.
(1)Spencer W.
Not very good. Overpriced and the food tastes like it's been sitting in a bucket for a week. You'd think at least the biscuits would be good, given that this is the name of the place, but those were also old and crusty. Omelette was actually okay.
(1)Marc K.
I like this place. It's big, and bright, and open. The service is generally good. The portions are huge, and the food is consistently good. I especially like their breakfasts. They make things just how you order them, and can handle special requests. They do an amazing in-house corned beef, which I highly recommend. Overall, this place is quite solid. I can't figure out why they're not open for dinner..
(4)Jennifer F.
It was good... from reading a review from the other wasn't expecting much.... great flavored red potatoes and pretty decent biscuits
(4)Bill J.
Freshly prepared breakfast, with thick bacon slices cooked when I ordered my meal and large slices of sourdough toast and nicely done red potatoes. Very satisfying.
(4)Justin E.
This I have to say is a good hole in the wall breakfast place. The portions are quite large. I have a healthy apptitie and I couldnt finish the plate. The biscuts were homemade, good potatoes, and tasty gravy. My freind had a pancake stack on the side, normally you get two little pancakes at other diners. These were double sized, quad stacked pancakes were the syrup ran off the plate because they were so big. Cant wait to try something new at this place.
(4)Clarkitty C.
This place is run by idiots! They are so disorganized they cannot figure out what is going on here. No designated hostess / cashier so you have to wait to get seated until a busser or waitress is available and after your meal you have to stand in a long line at an unoccupied register to beg to pay for your food. Went here for breakfast today with my wife, roomate, and friend. Took us at least five to seven minutes to get seated. The restaurant was at 30% capacity. The waitress took our drink order and brought us water that seemed to be in shot glasses. 90% of the glass was ice and I love water so I was disappointed that I would have to get a ton of refills. A table was seated after us and they recieved GIANT glasses of water for the whole table. Guess we werent good enough for the adult glasses of water. The whole meal I had to beg for water. I mean really? The waitress was a complete bitch and kept calling my wife and roomate "MAMA" I mean WTF is THAT supposed to mean anyways. The food took about 40 minutes to come out of the kitchen and they didnt even bring out my roomates food until we asked for it. My wife and I were sharing a dish. They decided to charge us $2.50 for sharing a dish without even letting us know they were going to do that. Then when I didnt get one of my sides I asked for it and she added another $1.00 charge to the bill. WTF again! When my wife asked about the charges the waitress gave some lame reasoning for the extra charges but never once informed us BEFORE we ordered or at the time of ordering that there would be almost $5 in additional charges on the bill. $15. That is what my wife ended up paying for a meal with no drinks and two people sharing one dish. When we were leaving there was a line at the register and noone there to cash us out. We waited ten additional minutes at the register to beg the restaurant to let us pay for our food. They were running around like chickens and the restaurant was not even at half capacity. 40 minutes for breakfast food? I could make that from scratch at home in 20 minutes but wanted to enjoy the morning with friends and less cleanup. DO NOT EAT HERE. THIS PLACE IS AN INSULT TO HARD WORKING AMERICANS WHO PAY THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY TO EAT OUT AND ENJOY FELLOWSHIP WITH FRIENDS. You should be ashamed of yourselves for the way my table was treated, being overcharged, and called "MAMA" WTF is that about? I believe the waitress's name was Rachel, but not sure as a thin girl with glasses actually cashed me out. I will never eat here again and I will be complaining to corporate about the waitress who called everyone "MAMA" how fucking unprofessional is that? And what does it imply. That were fat, old, or what? NEVER WILL COME BACK HERE AGAIN.
(1)Levi L.
I tried just about everything on the menu here while I was visiting Portland and it was all VERY good. The red potatoes, hashbrowns, biscuits and gravy, pancakes, biscuits and jelly, eggs (over medium), bacon, corned beef hash, and even the coffee.....that was in 2 visits!!! That was a week and a half ago and I'm still working it off. Gooooood stuff.
(5)Zy X.
It was a hard decision to go to Biscuits Cafe! I read several reviews before we decided to try it. Since many people emphasized on their dirty dining experience, my fiance and I watched them like hawks. The place was clean and smelled clean, like Pine Sol. Although it was kind of annoying, when you're trying to enjoy your food. We didn't see anything abnormal, like serving food items that were dropped on the floor. I ordered their biscuits and gravy, while my fiance ordered their mac 'n cheese. All I can say is: over-priced grades C-D food! My biscuit was fluffy, but nothing special about their gravy. It was actually a little cold when I got it. Their mac 'n cheese tasted like Kraft's mac 'n cheese from the box!!!! Not cool! Why would I want to pay for something I can make at home?! On top of that, a box of Kraft mac 'n cheese is like $1, while we paid $10-something for that?! Overall, food wasn't impressive, place was clean, and our server was very sweet, but I think I'll stick to Sweet Betty's if I plan on brunching in Gresham.

Since many people emphasized on their dirty dining experience, my fiance and I watched them like hawks. The place was clean and smelled clean, like Pine Sol. Although it was kind of annoying, when you're trying to enjoy your food. We didn't see anything abnormal, like serving food items that were dropped on the floor. I ordered their biscuits and gravy, while my fiance ordered their mac 'n cheese. All I can say is: over-priced grades C-D food! My biscuit was fluffy, but nothing special about their gravy. It was actually a little cold when I got it. Their mac 'n cheese tasted like Kraft's mac 'n cheese from the box!!!! Not cool! Why would I want to pay for something I can make at home?! On top of that, a box of Kraft mac 'n cheese is like $1, while we paid $10-something for that?! Overall, food wasn't impressive, place was clean, and our server was very sweet, but I think I'll stick to Sweet Betty's if I plan on brunching in Gresham.

The staff was rude, the service was slow, the food was gross, and it was super loud. I won't be going back.

Whenever we visit friends in Portland we usually have a weekend breakfast at Biscuits. There are at least 4 and sometimes as many as 8 of us in a group and everyone seems to find something they enjoy at a reasonable price. So keep that in mind because I would normally give Biscuits 3 or 4 stars but last Sunday (1-1-12) they seemed to have dropped the ball, at least at 1908 NE Division. I hope it isn't a trend. Of the 6 of us one ordered sweet potato pancakes. When his order came he had ONE pancake. This baffled us because it should have had 2 or maybe 3 pancakes. I don't think he ever got the eggs that should have come with his order. At least one other order wasn't right. Fortunately my eggs benedict were perfect. At one point a waitress was picking up an order of toast and dropped one of the halves on the floor. She quickly picked it up but instead of tossing it in the trash she threw it back on the big cutting board next to the toast machine. Eewww. This right in front of the guy who must have been the manager. WTF? He didn't do or say anything, just left it lay. I was incredulous. Should I have gotten up from the table, walked over and asked him about it? After several minutes the board was wiped off but I don't believe it was "cleaned". I may have a '5 second rule' at home but that doesn't cut it at a restaurant. We quizzed the waitress about the sweet potato pancake order and she said it was right but noticed when we cashed the bill for the pancake was $7.50 not $8.99. And we couldn't find any pancake item on the menu for $7.50. WTF? I'd give them a B on the food and the value, a C on the service and a D on cleanliness. May go back again but I'm going to question everything and watch 'em like a hawk to make sure I don't get a breakfast that spent time on their floor.

My favorite place for breakfast!! Everything is yummy! Service is always friendly. You gotta try it! Expect a wait though, it's always crowded.

I love this place. It is on my "Favorite things to do" list when I am in Gresham. The food is ALWAYS fabulous !

Awesome food and great service! Very accommodating to any extra requests

I like this place. It's big, and bright, and open. The service is generally good. The portions are huge, and the food is consistently good. I especially like their breakfasts. They make things just how you order them, and can handle special requests. They do an amazing in-house corned beef, which I highly recommend. Overall, this place is quite solid. I can't figure out why they're not open for dinner..

It was good... from reading a review from the other wasn't expecting much.... great flavored red potatoes and pretty decent biscuits

FOOD: C- DRINKS: coffee was fine SERVICE: C- VIBE: D VALUE: B- I was mistakenly told that this cafe was on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives... it was not. That place was actually Pine State Biscuits. This place wouldn't make it on a show, unless it was a show called Average, Forgettable and Bland. That may be harsh, but really -- the food was nothing special. I had "made from scratch" corned beef hash and eggs with hashed browns and biscuits. The corned beef hash was just shredded, tough and room-temp corned beef. No "hash" about it. Tasteless scrambled eggs sat on top. I was warned not to get the hash browns (really, what kind of breakfast place can you be if the same person who took you there and told you it was on tv is also telling you not to get the HASH BROWNS, which should be so easy to make delicious?)... but I got them anyway. Eh. Not terrible. Mine were a perfect rectangle, obviously cut from a larger block on the flat-top. The biscuit was decent, with butter and strawberry jam. I had some of McK's bacon, and it was actually a little too thick and over-cooked. If you ruin bacon, you should not be allowed to serve it. Her pancakes, however, were very large and looked good. The service was slow and there were several problems with my table's order. When it takes forever to get the food, and then it's wrong, it's kind of hard to recover. The place itself is a big open room in a strip mall with generic tables and chairs packed in. Excusable if the food is awesome. Sadly, not the case.

I have not been to any of the other Biscuits locations, but the Gresham location is quite odd. The seating layout is one big open area, like a college campus cafeteria. The tables are so close together that I always get whacked in the back of the head by some ladies purse when she turns around. It really is an evesdroppers paradise because without any partitions you can filter your conversation through everyone elses. They always seem to be understaffed. The waitstaff runs around frantically but can't keep up. Twice I have had the waitress drop the check before we recieved our food. I am always afraid to ask for a refill because it seems like that might be the straw the breaks the camels back. Here's cheap advice - DO NOT GO NEAR THIS PLACE ON A HOLIDAY. The food really is nothing special. I would call it adaquate. You don't leave going 'I have to go back and try this next time", you go "I'm full, lets go". The kitchen might still be getting their routine down, because my breakfast never comes all at once. It's always "your 'toast/bacon/pancake/etc will be out in a minute.' Its is usually closer to five minutes. Biscuits tries to present themsleves as a 'home cookin' chain. I think they are closer to Elmers than they realize. Its just breakfast done "Meh".

This place was a refreshing change from the Gresham breakfast spots we are used to. Typically we choose from good food, grumpy service and high prices or not good with decent prices and staff. Breakfast at Biscuits Cafe was pleasant with a bright, open space, friendly and efficient service and good food. This will be our new breakfast spot!
(5)Jess M.
This was our first visit and we will definitely be back the next time we are in town. Although it was a busy Sunday, we were seated quickly. Our server was very nice. Quick service, but not rushed. Our food was delicious and the portion sizes are large. We had biscuits & gravy, French toast, a chorizo omelette and chocolate chip pancakes. Yum!

Freshly prepared breakfast, with thick bacon slices cooked when I ordered my meal and large slices of sourdough toast and nicely done red potatoes. Very satisfying.

This I have to say is a good hole in the wall breakfast place. The portions are quite large. I have a healthy apptitie and I couldnt finish the plate. The biscuts were homemade, good potatoes, and tasty gravy. My freind had a pancake stack on the side, normally you get two little pancakes at other diners. These were double sized, quad stacked pancakes were the syrup ran off the plate because they were so big. Cant wait to try something new at this place.

i have heard good and bad things about both locations of this breakfast joint. Went in today with a open mind and stimulated appetite. The service was dry and to the point, which is what I prefer when dinning on my first meal of the day. Too many pleasantries and I began to feel awkward. I gotta say that true to the name the biscuits were simple but really good. The eggs and hash browns were average but not too oily. I guess what items stood out the most in this place was the french toast, the bacon and the sausage. Without getting into too much detail they were solid in both flavour and quality . In a suburb full of fast food chains, corporate eateries, and lotto delis this is a pretty good choice. I will no doubt be back.
(3)Mendy W.
You should try this place. Even If you only come here to order a biscuit with the strawberry jam!!
(5)Holly H.
I loved this place. The service was great, and the wait staff was attentive and very funny. I ordered the special Boysenberry hazelnut French toast, and it was awesome goodness, along with scrambled eggs and great chicken-apple sausage. I loved every bite. The prices are reasonable, and the menu is full of great choices. My 2 companions loved it also. This was our first time here. I was hesitant to recommend it because of all the less than stellar reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised. My experience was wonderful, yummy, and satisfying! I will definitely be back, even though it's miles from where I live.

Waited fifteen minutes at the table waiting to even be offered coffee, while other tables, seated after us, were served. Probably not good for business to forget customers. Strange too since our previous visit was great. I hope this isn't a trend developing.
