The Best Portland Restaurants Near Moda Center and Oregon Convention Center | Eater Portland

"With six locations — including an airstream and an outpost in Reno — Pine State may feel too obvious to locals perusing this list, but for out-of-town travelers at the convention center, there’s simply no better breakfast in the neighborhood. Biscuits may be a Southern art, but the Pine State team has mastered a balance of flaky, dense, and airy, and the Carolina-style biscuit sandwiches are stacked to a decadent degree. Go for the towering brisket, bacon, and blue cheese club, or indulge vegan-style with the Veggie Reggie smothered in shiitake mushroom gravy. Lunchtime seating can be harder to navigate, and note that Pine State closes every day at 2 p.m." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
