The Grillery

Very expensive for what you get and really wasn't very tasty. The potatoes, burrito, and omelette were so bland that we had to nearly smother them in salt, pepper, salsa, and other seasonings, just to be able to enjoy eating them. For plates that cost $15-$20 a piece, we should not have to flavor our own food. The sizes are decent but I still think they were a bit overpriced. The worst part though, and the main reason I'm writing kinda of a harsh review, was that they charge extra for everything ($2.50 to make one regular pancake into a blueberry pancake and $1.50 for a small bit of mushrooms) and including $2.00 for the plastic silverware and to-go boxes!! Huh?! I've literally never seen any place (not even food trucks!!)charge for that. Ridiculously nickel and diming people is not cool. Not cool at all. We've had dinner here before and it was fabulous. This experience with breakfast today has really been a letdown because we were really looking forward to treating ourselves after a hard week of working hard and this was not the breakfast date we had in mind.

I just have to say Oh My Goodness!!! This place is beyond 5 stars. So we started out with the spinach and artichoke dip with their homemade tortilla chips. The chips were great by themselves and the dip was awesome. It had big chunks of artichokes and spinach, had the perfect amount of shredded parmesan cheese on top. It was so creamy and thick that it stuck to the chips perfectly. Then we ordered the Jubitz Jumbo Burger. This 1lb beauty was cooked to absolute perfection (I like mine medium rare). It was so juicy, the seasonings were on point, and the toppings were fresh. The Sriracha mayo gave it just enough of a kick while the smoked gouda and the caramelized red onion balanced everything out. The bottom bun did get a little soggy and this burger is a bit messy (partially due to size), but other than that it was delicious! The fries it came with were cooked perfectly. The seasonings they use were great. They had a bit of a crunchy outside while the inside was still very soft. Great flavor! Finally, we ordered dessert. I had the molten chocolate lava cake and my husband had the cheesecake with marionberry drizzle. The lava cake was mouthwatering! The cake was light and airy with a rich chocolate flavor. The whipped cream they used was absolutely the best I've ever had. It wasn't oily and it had a great flavor. The molten chocolate used was delectable. The cheesecake was creamy and delicious. The waitress was an absolute sweetheart. The decor was beautiful and not too overwhelming. It was a bit pricey but worth every cent. 💯 recommend this place

The Food was Awesome! The Atmosphere was so Inviting and Relaxed! We were on a Business trip & were at a Loss on where to go to Eat.. We drove around Aimlessly trying to GPS a nice place to go. We drove by a few places that didn't look so hot when I pulled up The Cascade Grill and my Daughter pulled up The Ponderosa & We decided on The Cascade Grill because we are from the Cascades... LOL We didn't know they were a part of each other until we arrived. It was funny to me!!! We each ordered quite opposite dishes. I had the French Dip & Salad, one Daughter had 1/2 size Nachos, which is Huge, and My other Daughter ordered the Beef Stroganoff. We also got Cheesy Bread. They have Daily Specials that day was the Stroganoff. The specials as all of the Food choices are freshly made and you can have it your way! We were very happy the Food was Awesome!! The Waitress was Very Nice & accommodating. We were able to Relax and talk without being rushed or feeling awkward. We will go back again the next time we are in Portland! Thank You
