Not bad. They were fast and we got the food shortly after we ordered. We ordered from speciality menu , i got the garden omlete which was good. Lots of ingrediants; spinach, broccoli and cheese. The portion was good and more than enough. There is a side dish come with it called wheat bowl... i didnot understand it .. when u taste it first is salty but then when you swallow it is sweet.. i cannot say i liked it but i also cannot say i didnot like it. But i wont ask for it.

A few weeks ago on a Saturday at around 9 in the morning, I came here with a friend expecting the typical weekend crowd already and was pleasantly surprised to be seated rather quickly. The inside of the restaurant has a humble, unpretentious interior that's not aimed at the Instagram crowd, which was honestly kind of refreshing. The service was competent, thought not particularly energetic, but that's understandable given the ungodly hour they have to be at work. The coffee is standard and nothing to get excited about. I ordered a Spanish omelet which had a generous portion to it and the other side items - so much that I barely touched the lovely slices of bread that came with it. While the omelet was hearty and filling, it didn't particularly stand out in terms of quality - it felt like something you could expect from a seasoned home cook. The standout part of the meal was actually the potatoes which hit me with more flavor and texture than I expected.Reading a few of the reviews here, I saw a lot of buzz about the cream of wheat, which I sadly did not try. Given the chatter, I'd really consider a return visit just to see what I missed out on. Don't forget that the restaurant only accepts cash or Venmo and that there is an ATM inside.

We had to wait online for a while to eat here, but thankfully we had some delicious hot coco to keep warm while we waited, once we were seated we ordered, I had a mimosa that was very tasty, and I had a full Portuguese breakfast, it was delicious! Savory and such a unique set up of flavors! Well worth the wait! Check them out if you are in the area! I'd go back if I had the chance!

Good eats for a good price. Keep it local! Good service. Loved the food. I will come back. We sat on the patio until it started raining. They have an indoor dining room but it's small.

Free drink with lunch check-in. They let me get a juice instead of a soft drink. Venmo or cash only. There's an ATM. The Portuguese breakfast is a ton of food. I ate a lot and yet the leftovers are another full meal. - I didn't even touch my eggs.- I got their famous cream of wheat, unsure what could make it so rave-worthy but it was lightly sweet creamy deliciousness.- Of the meat, fish, and shrimp cakes, I liked the shrimp the best. There was a whole shrimp in it.- The hash and rice & beans were fine.- I wasn't wild about the sausage but I'm just not a sausage person. - Cornbread was very moist and enjoyable. - Melted buttered toast was excellent on its own, and the homemade jam was delightful too. Friendly service. Cozy vibe. Seems to not go together with all the family photos but I found the Alice in Wonderland bathroom decor fun and funny.

Lovely outdoor space and the staff was attentive. But most importantly breakfast was delicious. A lot of reviews mention the cream of wheat so as someone who has never tried it I had to have a bowl - and WOW! I would come back just for a bigger bowl of it! The Nutella and banana crepe was excellent and the Portuguese breakfast was very hearty! We will definitely be back!!

A great spot for a Delicious and hearty Portuguese breakfast. The sausage and croquettes/ empanadas was full of flavor. We arrived right at opening time so it was pretty empty and the food came out quick. The breakfast special came out to $20 but coffee was included. Good portions when you add in all the bread plus fruit or cream of wheat. Cash only but they also take Venmo.

Not home fries! More like chunky mashed potatoes or some typeof potato casserole. We spent almost $70 for two adults and 2 kids and either their online ordering system doesn't match what their menu in store is or they just forgot a bunch of our stuff. This place isn't the same before COVID. I don't know if they have new cooks or new management or both but the food isn't the same at all.

Terrible experience. Service wasn't very good. Did not bring us any water. We saw people who got sat after us get their food first. Asked for my steak tips to be cooked medium rare and they were well done. They don't tell you it's cash only until the bill comes. Do not recommend.
