About
Cricket Cafe fills its small dining room with the clatter of plates and the buzz of a weekend crowd, many sporting expensive tattoos. Since 1999, this Southeast Portland spot has been a reliable destination for American comfort classics. They cater to all diets, listing specialties for omnivores, vegans, and gluten-free folks. The full bar means you can grab a liquid breakfast alongside their popular biscuits and gravy. Service can be slow, but the food hits the spot.
You'll find a colorful, local crowd here, and the dog-friendly patio is a bonus on sunny days. It's open until 2pm on weekends, so you can sleep in. If you're exploring the neighborhood, Mother's Bistro & Bar is another nearby option for brunch.

“Greasy hipster, anyone?”
Being only a few blocks away helps, and I enjoy nearly everything on the menu. The cocktails are good, and I swear the biscuits and gravy are addictive. However, the service can be indifferent; I've waited half an hour for a table to be cleared. It's a small spot with long waits, a diverse crowd sporting pricey tattoos, and the food is satisfying.
