YUMMMMM

This place is my go to spot for going out with my meat eating friends. Food is delicious. Burgers, sandwiches, appetizers, AND VEGAN CAKE 🤤

I’d give it 5 stars if I could

We went with omni friends. We ordered the onions for a table share and we all agreed they were the best onion rings we’d ever had! I don’t know how they do that crust but holy cow! Just those are worth the visit. I do wish the place was completely vegan but maybe they figure it’s a way to get omnis in the door? My husband had the Original, an ooey gooey fistful of goodness! I had the bbq tofu bowl which was delicious! The tofu was perfectly cooked and a little smoky, filling and delicious. I highly recommend!

neighborhood burger bar

Good. Lots of vegan and gluten free options. Super casual; service and food quality can vary from visit to visit.

Options for Everyone

I got the Philly, teriyaki sub, Fopo Chick'n sliders, and onion rings. The onion rings are phenomenal, they have a great crunch to them I haven't had anywhere else. Felt the philly was dry but that is my choice because I removed the horseradish mayo, felt the teriyaki was dry as well, might do better in a bowl. It is a great atmosphere with a pool table but the food doesn't stand out in this city. PS The cookie dough they sell is incredible.

That’s One Excellent Burger!

I had the marvin burger with sweet potato fries. There was an onion ring on the burger — really what more needs to be said? It was phenomenal! My partner had the fopo chick’n sliders and enjoyed those as well. A fun vibe and good drinks!

Pros: Delicious vegan burgers, Great atmosphere, Good price

Best burgers in Portland imo

I had the Marvin burger (Beyond Meat patty, grilled mushrooms, vegan bacon, vegan provolone, onion ring, t-sauce, on an An Xuyen vegan bun) and my husband and I agreed it was the best we’ve had around. Great atmosphere too!

Pros: Amazing burgers, Unique cocktails, Great service

I ordered the vegan kale Caesar salad. The dressing tasted good, but there was way too much. Not only was that unappetizing, but it made the croutons soggy. I added vegan chicken for $3, but the portion was so small that it's not worth the extra cost. The salad was so disappointing that I would have given a lower rating, but I've had better meals here before.

Pros: mostly vegan menu

Amazing food!

This place is a hidden gem with awesome vegan bar food. I’m especially a fan of their sliders, fries, and onion rings, which are hard to come by in Portland made vegan. They always have good slushy cocktails too! They recently renovated and made the place much bigger, and seem to be busier which is great for them. I wish they were located more central Portland but it’s worth the drive. They do have some new staff who seem to still be learning, so patience is key.

Great vibe!

Loved the feel of this joint. Great music, crunch in chikn sliders was best I’ve had. We had FOPO and buffalo-both delicious. Good variety on tap but not 99 , which I respect! Only downside - smoking outside made us sit inside.

Pros: Great vibe, Crunchy chikn, Friendly staff

Cons: Outdoor seating subject to secondhand smoke
