Our breakfast at Pine State Biscuits!

Pine State Biscuits

One of our morning stops before some Oregon site seeing was Pine State Biscuits. This place is really well known in the Portland area. We were definitely excited about this tasty stop from all of the great things we heard about it.

We thought we would have a nice breakfast before heading out to see the world famous Mount Saint Helens. Pine State Biscuits was very fast laced breakfast restaurant but had a very great uniqueness to it. The menu had a good variety. We chose the Reggie Deluxe and the Shrimp and Grits!

The Reggie Deluxe

This dish was fairly decent. It was some what different from regular breakfast dishes. The Reggie deluxe is a biscuit with fried chicken, cheese, bacon, and covered with sausage gravy. It didn't blow us away like we though but it was definitely tasty. It the flavors of everything were pleasing for a breakfast dish. The biscuit was fresh, the gravy had a nice flavor and the chicken was simply okay. We did appreciate the fact that they tried to think outside the box by incorporating fried chicken in a breakfast dish.

Shrimp and grits

This was a decently sized plate with 6 pieces of deliciously seared shrimp and a pile of bacon and shitake mushrooms on top of a bed of creamy grits. The appearance made you want to dig right in. Everything was seasoned perfectly. We tried the grits by themselves first and they had the perfect consistency and had a nice soft and mild flavor. Next we tried everything else on the plate, everything was AWESOME! The shrimp and mushrooms had an awesome flavor of the bacon and a wonderful garlic flavor that really stuck out. They cooked the mushrooms, bacon, garlic and shrimp all in the same pan and it couldn't have gotten any tastier. They definitely know there way around some shrimp and grits!

All in all we think that Pine State Biscuits is a pretty decent place to get breakfast. This was yet another Portland, Oregon restaurant review out of many of our tasty stops. Until our next review, TASTY!

Roosters, it's an Ohio thing!

We are so proud to be from Ohio for so many reasons, and Roosters being one of them! Roosters is a restaurant that only 'Ohioans' or Ohio visitors know about. It's not a five star fancy schmansy restaurant, just a tasty and fun place to eat at on a weekend or after a long days work. The famous slogan really speaks for itself "A fun, casual, joint", but it doesn't happen to mention the delicious food they have available! We are regular Rooster customers, we usually go a couple of times a month. We usually stick with our favorites from the menu, but you really can't go wrong with anything they have to offer. Whether it's the loaded nachos, a burger, or their tender boneless wings dipped in your choice of TOP OF THE LINE wing sauce, you wont be disappointed. Most of the time we go with the boneless wings drenched in tangy sweet Thai chili sauce. The quality of the meat is unbeatable, but the big kicker for us is the sauce. The sweet

Breakfast Time at Table 1

Being Ohio natives we were happy to find an independent restaurant near us. It had Great decor, and the restaurant itself had a visually fun and hip/modern look (no surprise here.. most small businesses take this role). The lighting was at a relaxing level, they placed numbers above the tables to try and give a unique look. Enough about the decor though, lets move on to the important Tids! First things first, drink options. They had a small variety of drinks offering the usual selections - Soda, Water, Tea, O-J, Milk. We decided on getting the Cola, because we had a long drive ahead - we were headed for Amish Country in Millersburg OH. (Blog soon to come..) Our server seemed to be lacking some energy that day as well, I mean it was Saturday. She brought our drinks and we were surprised to see more than a simple cup, Coca-cola served to you in a jar! Enough mumbo about the drinks though, onward to the main course. We both opted for The eggs Benedict. We were unsure o

The Ale House May be Good for Whatever Ails You

All of you Ohio natives out there, if you havent been to Ale house 1890 in Lancaster Ohio you are definitely missing out. They have wonderful hamburgers and so many to menu items to choose from! All of these burgers are specially made with their own selection of fresh ingredients. They definitely know their way around a burger! They also have new specials pretty frequently such as fried macoroni! (See review for fried Macoroni below!) so go in and don't miss them! Ale House 1890 Our first pick from the menu was the Barnyard Burger. Barnyard Burger This burger was an absolute taste masterpiece! The first bite I took I could immediately taste the sweetness of marmalade and the grilled taste of the patty which collided with each other creating a wonderful taste combination. The garlic aoli was a nice touch to the burger as well, better than mayonnaise if you ask me! Also the micro greens was a great bonus to an already delcious sandwich. And what is better on a b
