Tin Shed Garden Cafe

My boyfriend and I made Tin Shed Garden Café as our first stop once we got to Oregon to celebrate one of our dog's third birthday. I made reservations in advance as we have two dogs coming with us and I wanted to make sure we had a spot as I know this spot is very popular and busy around the time we would be arriving (10:30am). Parking was hard to find as I was right on there being a lot of people and there was even a line forming but we were able to get seated right away once we told the hostess that we had a reservation for two and two dogs. As we were being directed to our table, we saw several other dogs that were well behaved and it was just very heartwarming to see a restaurant that allows their diners to bring their dogs for some breakfast or lunch! They do have a communal water bowl at the entrance for your dogs and they have two items for your dogs to enjoy: an entrée or a dessert. We asked how big the portion was for the Fido Food and we were told that it is one cup so that it would be best to order separately for our two dogs. For us, we just a got a Everything Naughty to share as well as a side of cheesy grits. Our waitress, Katelynn M. was extremely polite and courteous to us and our pups which we really appreciate. All our neighboring patrons was extremely kind and sweet with our dogs too. The inside of the café was clean and organized very well and their self serve coffee area was neat.Our food arrived along with the food for our fur babies which is great so we could all enjoy our meals together. Our boy enjoyed his Fido food within a few minutes and after a few seconds, our girl enjoyed her Fido food as well. Neither of them wanted to look up from their bowl until it was completely clean and empty. We also enjoyed our food and I love both their mushroom and sausage gravy, definitely one of the best gravies that I have ever had. The cheesy grits were savory and the perfect consistency. They also have amazing hot sauce and jam on the table. Their potato cakes were crispy and delicious too. Honestly, everything was absolutely delightful here. We definitely want to come back and support this business as not only are they dog friendly, but they offer different ways to donate to support charities that help dogs such as buying their dog bandanas or buying a specific beverage.

We came down from Seattle for the weekend and stopped by Tin Shed for brunch after it was recommended by friends. We went on a Saturday and arrived around 10:30 AM. Be prepared to wait, as we waited for over an hour for a table, which was the least enjoyable part of our experience. However, once we were seated, things got much better!The service was fantastic--our server, Dave, was super kind and attentive throughout. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, and the inside has cute small diner vibes. One of my favorite parts was the self-serve coffee and water station--perfect for someone like me who loves refills.As for the food, it was really good with hearty options that left us satisfied. If you have extra time to spare and don't mind the wait, I'd definitely recommend stopping in for brunch!

There's something wrong with the Cesar salad at Tin Shed because we got it a total of 3 times during our trip out to Portland. This is such a basic salad but Tin Shed has definitely caught our attention with this one. The croutons are exceptionally delicious and made fresh, the chicken breast (? Or thigh) is so tender and definitely not dry, and the dressing is just liquid gold. The entire salad is just delectable. Well done Tin Shed - we've already let everyone know about this salad and are looking forward to the next time we make it out to Portland to eat it again. In the meantime, we will be trying to recreate this at home lol.

This is my must visit brunch place everytime I visit portland. We usually get a reservation done and stop by. We always order their good dog with half potato pancake and cheesy grits with their outstanding eggs and sauces! If u wanna elevate the flavors (which you really dont need to) u can use their house hot sauce. Their biscuits are the best and the house made jam is just a divine combination. We also order their version of irish coffee and hot chocolate and its the best brunch place in Portland by fat.I try going there on week days only so I get lesser wait time. They also take reservations which is awesome! Parking can be a pain but manageable in the adjacent alleys. Service is great and they have ample indoor and outdoor seating. Highly recommend this brunch place for all.

This is a nice spot for brunch. We were in the Alberta area and decided to grab food here. We did have a small wait to get seated. The service was good and our waiter made sure to check in with us throughout our time. I enjoyed the Everything Naughty, and thought the gravy and biscuits were really flavorful -- I also liked the potato cakes it came with. The habanero sauce was really good too! We got the Slice of Sinful to try out the french toast, which was good as well, but nothing really stand out. I will say we had to wait a bit longer than expected for the food to come out after we placed our order, and I felt that the prices were expensive for the quantity of food.

It's the best Caesar salad with blackened chicken I have everrrrr had. The dressing is perfection. I know it's a simple salad but I don't eat it much and I certainly don't crave it. I actually didn't want to eat it when my friends asked if I wanted salad. After two bites in, I asked if we can go back tomorrow before we fly back home for another salad. I was going to save some of my husband but I finished it along the way to the airport... oops! We will 100% fly back for it.

Had my second brunch a Tin Shed Garden for my birthday weekend. I'd been there before maybe a year or two ago and thought the biscuits and gravy was excellent so I wanted that again. This time it was really not great. The gravy was undercooked and tasted flour-y and it was super thick. The potato cakes are super good but everything else was just meh. For $20 I was pretty disappointed. They do have a great large patio that's dog friendly if you like that kind of thing. I don't love dogs at tables but didn't want to wait longer to sit inside.

Excellent! They are super dog friendly and have an amazing covered dog friendly patio for those rainy days. Highly recommend to make a reservation if you can. We ordered one dish, the good dog scrambled and shared it between 2 people. The portions are pretty big so if you're not too hungry, I recommend splitting one. The dish was delicious! The flavors were amazing ... and this is coming from someone who isn't the hugest fan of breakfast items. Service was friendly and super fast.Highly recommend if you have your pup. Parking can be tricky as it's street parking only.

We had to come here to see what all the hype was about! Above all, we were looking for a dog-friendly place to bring our two pups, and you can't get much friendlier than having a doggie menu!We made reservations, but showed up a half hour early on a Sunday afternoon and were able to get our table fairly quickly! We had a semi-outdoor seating that was covered. Water, coffee, and tea were self-serve, but since we had our hands full with two doggies, our server actually helped us with water! She was also fully knowledgable on celiac accommodations, citing from memory what could and couldn't be made gluten-free. Some GF options suggested were GF bread that could be used for french toast and eggs benedict, but things like gravy and the burgers (no GF bun option) couldn't be made GF. We appreciated the level of detail!My partner got the GF version of the benedict with cheesy grits. He thought it was great, though too heavy and rich for him. I got the vegan farro bowl with sourdough toast. The sauce on the farro and the housemade raspberry jam were amazing!! They also make their own chipotle sauce. We paid about $17-$18 per entree. My husband finished his food and I took a little bit home, so don't expect large portions for the price. Though, pricing is about on par for the Alberta area. Funny story- we were asked if we wanted anything for the dogs, and rather than looking at the doggie menu, my partner blindly ordered "two biscuits" assuming they would be dog biscuits. The server came out with two whole, human sized buttermilk biscuits in two large doggie bowls. Not their fault, but just an FYI so no one makes the same mistake! We have two small dogs, so if you have a small dog and want to order, note that their doggie menu items might be a lot of food for a smaller dog, especially if they are having their regular meals that day. My suggestion to the staff would be to add a "gluten-free" note to their menu that mentions they can make many dishes GF on request, similar to their "most dishes can be made vegan or vegetarian" note at the bottom of the menu. We only ended up here because the reviews on the Find Me Gluten Free app were positive, but had we just looked and the restaurant's menu online, we would have assumed they couldn't accommodate GF since nothing was labeled or noted. Otherwise, this place is great!

Brunched here after a run and it was definitely the right move! I enjoyed a virgin mary with my scramble (The Good Dog!). The scramble was packed with flavorful ingredients and its savoriness was nicely balanced with their classic biscuit & jam. My partner got their Killingsworth scramble which came with some super hearty rosemary-mushroom gravy. Their portion sizes are super generous - I even got to take some home! Their patio is perfect for summertime and our waitress was attentive/kind. Great vibes all around - no complaints!
