This place is more a feast for the eyes than anything else.  Packed full of memorabilia  from the 50's and 60's this place is a blast from the past.  Great place to stop in and have a root beer float and wander, car shows on the weekend in the summer too.  I love the huge bubble gum machines and all the crazy stuff everywhere.  You will be over stimulated and love it!
The food is what you would expect, BIG, GREASY, and well pretty good.  You will be worthless after eating and full of gas, but so what you only live once.  Eat the burger, drink the shake, see all the sights and go home fat and happy.
Not to be missed if you are in the area for sure!

While visiting family in this cookie cutter suburban neighborhood we had a nice walk and ended up eating pizza here.  I really wish restaurants quit with the hard wood chairs and booths, I don't have enough meat on my ass to make sitting on these ever comfortable.  Nuff said about that.  
Small neighborhood feel, full bar, and nice staff.  Get here early or you will wait.  The bread sticks were decent and so were the two pies we ordered.  One was pepperoni and cheese the other had mushrooms and black olives.  I've had better and I've had worse but the walk from our house made it ideal.  I'd go back but I sure won't be missing it until then.

Shopping here is fun!  What more can I say? They have a large funky ass collection of vintage goodies.  They also carry current fashions from Forever21 and H&M.  I found there prices to be pretty reasonable and I really dug the selection.  I left there with two maxi dresses from the 60's and a dress and leopard romper all for $65.  Not bad if you ask me.  

I'll be back for sure:)

Everyone is correct Jane is a super sweet lady. I really enjoyed chatting with her and she sure is passionate about her food.   I tried the onion, cheese and potato pasty and it was nice, just not really my thing.  I think what might be missing is some spice maybe even a little salt.  The crust was pretty flaky and yummy but the filling was  way too bland for this spicy girl.

The place is cute enough inside and was pretty empty on a Friday night. (SHOULD HAVE KNOWN) I'm pretty certain that they "accidentally" used their spaghetti sauce instead of pizza sauce when making our pie.  And when they pulled our pizza out of the freezer ... with all 3 pieces of pepperoni on it, under the cheese, they weren't able to heat it up correctly.  The bottom was like dried cracker and the inside was like semi-warmed goo.  I think my husband and I both barely managed to eat about a piece.
I don't know how they got such a good reviews on Yelp.  I suspect that all the reviewers live in the neighborhood and haven't tried anything better in a long time.

Super sweet staff I'm just sorry the pizza was so awful!

Can it really be true?  Could my love for meat finally be fading away, HELL NO, BUT this place sure makes me consider switching sides.  Beautiful bright clean space and best of all, IT'S IN THE BURBS, thank you for not thinking all we eat out here is McDonalds and Olive Garden.  

On the sweet cashiers recommendation I had the fried chicken sandwich topped with avocado, salsa, onions and lettuce.  OMG are you kidding me this tastes better than CHICKEN~ better than meat!!! I ate every last bite and was licking my fingers.  I also got an order of sweet potato fries because everything is better with fries, and the vegan chipotle dipping sauce was delicious creamy and light.  I wanna go back and try the buffalo wings and the kale salad.

Thanks again for bringing something so tasty not only to Oregon but to the burbs.

Tiny little place tucked away off Capitol Hwy.  Thank God we didn't have to sit in the tent.  The place feels like a really cute small neighborhood joint.  I had the crab wontons for an appetizer, they were ok nothing I couldn't get at PF Changs.

The inside reminds me of a seafood restaurant I used to take my Grandma too for the early bird special. By the number of older folks eating here I would say that is probably their main clientele.  The almond covered salmon I had was a bit greasy and kinda flavorless and the mashed potatoes were just meh.  My husband left half of his seafood pasta as it just wasn't that good.  Our friend finished up his ravor clams but was not overly thrilled with them.  The Cesar salad was tasty enough.  

So my hunt for fresh seafood in Portland continues.  This place was just very average.

I might go back for happy hour as the menu looked tasty and cheap!

Evil corporation buys Bally's this place is just too big for their own good.  No such thing as customer service here, the right hand has no idea what the left is doing.  Their website is misleading and makes you think you can cancel your membership online but you can't had to drive down to the club and then they still didn't cancel.  I had to call corporate and then they finally cancelled it.  I miss the days of small clubs, working out here is like going to a mall, I like my gyms for working out not being seen.

I will never join a big club like this...EVER!!!!  If I could give ZERO stars that is what they would get.

Really weird location not a lot of parking or seating for that matter. Place feels a bit too cramped for me~ I could see grabbing something to go which it looks like most do.  
Pretty tasty burgers I had the bacon cheeseburger.  Fries are seasoned salty shoestrings. Husband had some chicken sandwich smothered in grilled onions, sauce and cheese, he seemed to like that but he finishes anything.
Friendly staff but the inside was a bit grubby.

Wow you guys really love this place that much?  Maybe it's the carnivore in me but I was NOT impressed with this place at all.  It's healthy food and it tastes like it, if it were not for the Yumm sauce I don't think I could even eat here.  Too expensive, too blah but I think this is one of those places that makes you feel like you made a good healthy choice....pft....whatever overpriced beans and rice or as my husband says...we just ate 7 layer dip for dinner.  

Overrated and expensive for what it is.
