Hal’s Cafe - McMenamins

I love Hal's Cafe! They have a relatively short menu so everything is done really well. They specialize in local ingredients support and house made dishes. They have great beer, wine, and cocktail menu. Service is always above average and the prices are reasonable.

My wife and I definitely love our McMenamins stops! Decided to have a bite before the Green Day concert and McMenamins appetizers always hit the spot! We shared a Crystal Smash Burger which was just the right size to share, and was excellent to boot. We also shared an order of Korean Fried Chicken Wings, and the spicy version is indeed spicy so make sure you have enough beverage to keep your whistle wet. As always the service staff is awesome, we just wish our server had told us she was taking a break because we waited a bit for our bill waiting for her to come back around.

Absolutely loved this place. Great service and wonderful food. The chicken chilaquiles was huge and the green sauce is legit. The bloody Mary was delicious and had some unique garnishments. A street lady was causing some issues and the staff handled her with compassion. Would come back here any time

They have a great happy hour throughout the week, so come check them out for some discounted deals. Great fresh food and Amazing choices on the menu!

Mcmenamins + brunch!Always enjoy their relaxing and cozy atmosphere. The place was pretty empty on a Sunday for brunch, which we like. Service was fast and friendly.I really like their brewed coffee that wasn't too dark or light. The Forest Park Benedict came with a super crispy hashbrowns, as they should be. Eggs were well-poached and the sauteed greens went surprisingly well with the rest of the dish. Only thing was the english muffin could have been toasted more.Their French Toast was also good. Custardy in the center and just the right amount of sweet.A great spot for a more lowkey brunch.

Came here for dinner which was not on my list of places as I had overslept and by the time I woke up it was later than when I would normally eat dinner when traveling for business - especially in this town where the Homeless situation has gotten worse over the years coupled by the cold rainy weather that Portland has encountered. My hotel recommended this place as it was a short walk and the direction was not going through a gauntlet of Homeless to get there. Ordered one of their pizzas and it was the perfect size for one individual as well as their banana cream coconut tarte although it is listed as a pie. Staff who waited on me were very nice and guided me thru the menu and helping me make a decision. Definitely would come again the next time I am in the area.

The service was very nice and welcoming. I ordered the Benedict which was GREAT. The potatoes were so good!My boyfriend ordered the huevos which was delicious. I love the tortilla they used. I'd definitely eat here again.

Now called Hal's. Awesome service. Love the vibe has a diner vibe in the morning, but in the evening feels like a nice dim lit restaurant. Food was amazing!! The potato's are worth writing home about.

We came through during my g a slow happy hour. Service was good, we had beer and the 33rd St tots. All good.

I'm a regular long time since Zue's cafe was opened and throughout the pandemic's... love the foods and services... well, everything hot time and ages I guess.Anyway, I'm from Seattle., every time I'm visiting Portland I'm always stopping by this place. Which I've always love.But Thusday 12//28th I thought I would stop by my my favorite place again at this Evening.,, quiet...But surprisingly, the young bartender he seem very nice! I seat at the bar as always...Everything is turned around and upside down and very disappointing to my surprise ... I love the place and I will trying to come back.
