Cheryl's on 12th

Shout out to Lilly and Nik for sending us your way! The food was great! The lemon curd is top notch. Complimentary bignets are mouth watering. Get the fried rice you wont regret it, sane with the French toast brunch style. Never had eggs Benedict with steak before, that was quite the treat! Thank you again Cheryl's cafe, it was a pleasure!

This was one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had. I got juevos rancheros off of the menu because my waitress recommended it and WOW!! I was in awe. The coffee was delicious and the atmosphere was amazing. The staff works HARD and you can tell. Cheryl is also one of the most delightful women I’ve ever met. Super impressed with her level of commitment to her restaurant and how charismatic she is with customers. Will be showing everyone this place!!

Super good breakfast! The coffee was meh but the Portuguese Fried rice was really great! I'm a big eater and the half order was plenty for me.

Truly an incredible meal. Ordered the croque monsieur with creamy cheesy grits and pressed yuzu. Oh my god! Delicious!! I am so glad to have come to this place and am very excited to come back. Definitely a new go to for when I'm in Portland My friends ordered their cookies and cream latte, both iced and hot that looked so good. Our server was also so friendly and helpful.

A cool place for brunch! It's on the pricier side but everything was good. Nothing wowed us though. The cheesy hash browns were the star of the brunch but they do not need the corn flakes on top.

The food was fresh and good. The restaurant is decorated cutely for the season. I only wish the salmon had some added seasoning or flavor to it. Also, the hashbrowns had cornflakes so it was extra crunchy.

Very cute atmosphere and great service. We got seating easily and were served with good hustle. I am a bit of a particular eater but they were good about accommodating me. Even when the coffee was too cold for me they remade it no sweat. There is some street parking around it, and lots nearby (for a cost). The portions are good and there is lots of variety. We saw people of all ages and personalities, and they were good with accommodating the group next to us.

Cheryl’s on 12th was excellent! You need to visit this great restaurant for breakfast and maybe lunch. : ) I ordered the French toast challah bread with blueberries, lemon curd, and homemade whipped cream which was an excellent choice. Plenty of seating, go there now!

The food and service at Cheryl's was top-notch! But the manager Andres was absolutely amazing! He was so helpful and quite the ambassador for not only Cheryl's but for Portland. He was so kind when we asked him for directions,he actually went outside with us and walked with us and showed us the landmark we were looking for. Now that's what hospitality is all about. We will definitely tell People about Cheryl's on 12th St.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm smile and the friendliest host--I wish I had caught her name! The atmosphere was absolutely charming, with a classic old-school diner feel that made the experience even more special. The tables were intimate, and every seat had a great view. Now, the food... WOW! We ordered the crab eggs Benedict and the fried rice, and while both were fantastic, the fried rice was the real star of the show. The flavor and texture were spot on! If you're looking for amazing food, great ambiance, and top-notch service, Cheryl's on 12th is a must-visit! Can't wait to go back.

This establishment has classic downtown diner vibes. Ample seating, thanks to the combined dining rooms with adjacent store front(does make for confusion when navigating the place) The offering of beignets when you are seated Chefs kiss I would have liked a crispy corn tortilla with the Huevos Rancheros. The plane soggy corn tortilla on the bottom, just made for a soft mouth feel throughout the dish.

Back again after about 3 years. Down a star or more from our first visit. I did love the atmosphere, filled with homey welcoming decor, like visiting your favorite aunts house. However the food was looking and tasting more cheap and diner like. The scrambled eggs were bland dry and unseasoned. The Benedict sauce seemed to have been instant like from a packet. The cheesy hashbrown casserole was more gloopy than I remembered and could use some effort. The chai was light/subtle flavored in my opinion but my husband commented that it was likely that kind you buy from a paper carton at the store. One waitress seemed too brash and loud with customers, had an odd sense of humor, and I caught her itching her head and hair a few times all while handling plates of customer food. Seemed off-putting. Once again, the complimentary beignets were warm and fantastic, best part of the trip in. Won't be back soon unfortunately.

This is my first time eating something else than their Portuguese fried rice, which by the way is the best thing to get. I finally tried something different and it was the Ed scramble. Nothing was too special about it, but it had enough vegetables but it still felt something was missing. I had chorizo added and I'd say it needed it! I didn't use much of the ranchero sauce instead, I used aardvark habanero sauce. The huevos ranchero was alright. Nothing too special. Probably will not get these two dishes again. Service was excellent; friendly and quick. Currently the restaurant is having renovations done so we were seated in the banquet room; spacious and not too busy.

An awesome diner-style spot with a small marketplace on the side. This was my first stop in Portland, and we were so happy with this meal. They give you fresh beignets on the house, which might've been the highlight of the meal. It was so light and airy. Our eggs benedict was solid, and the cheesy potatoes were so good. They come with cornflakes on top which was a fun surprise that added a nice texture. The service was excellent - our waitress was so sweet. This is a must-eat in Portland!

We had another delicious meal here on Sunday. The restaurant was super busy, and we were led through a labyrinth of rooms. We were finally seated in a back room with windows to the outside. Even though it was only December 1st, the halls were fully decked and the restaurant was super cute and all holiday themed out. Piper was our server and she was friendly and attentive. We had the Croque Madame and the Huevos Rancheros along with a couple of bloody Mary's. Everything was super delicious! So many tasty choices. We hope to be back soon.

The best service for brunch. Great for groups or largeer tables. They have a Good bloody Mary and great Benedicts. I had the salmon, the eggs were poached perfectly. As much as there is something on the menu here for everyone, I'm really into the comfort foods. The cheesey hash brown casserole is rich and savory. The floors are clean. The price point is fair value, $14 bloody Marys!

Complimentary Beignets is always a good way to start the day. We came here recently for Breakfast and had an amazing time. We got here right when they opened and got a table immediately. As we walked to it I was amazed at how clean everything was and how bright the ambiance was inside. It had like a very modern but simpler look to everything. Service was pretty solid too. The guy who served us pretty cool and always would check on us. What I wasn't expecting was free Beignets. I was pretty shocked to say the least. Im usually used to some sugar sprinkled on them but the fact that they had a good flavor and poofy texture without it, spoke for the quality of them. This morning I also had to get that Crab Benny. I really enjoyed the fact that Cheryl's gives you a good chunk of crab on each one. That's why I sometimes prefer Crab versus Crab Cake. It's pretty easy to get jipped on the actual crab meat with the latter. The Hollandaise sauce was pretty solid too. I was pretty shocked at how much I liked the cheesy hash browns. It seemed a little weird at first but after a couple of bites, you definitely can't stop. Overall I definitely could see us coming back. There's a wide variety of food options to choose from and they all sound so tasty.

Great place for brunch! We ordered a Tenderloin Benedict and Portuguese fried rice. Both were very tasty! Also really enjoyed the complimentary beignets. Our waitress was great. She checked in on us regularly to make sure we're doing okay. This restaurant has a very cozy vibe to it.

Disclaimer, American breakfast food isn't one of my favorite cuisines so my rating takes that into account. While this isn't my typical choice of restaurants, I was rather surprised on how much I enjoyed my experience here. The food was average but what make the experience was the service. The restaurant was much larger than I initially thought and was rather busy for a Thursday morning. The service was quick and the staff was very friendly. You get complimentary beignets to start and they were the best part of the meal.

The minute my daughter picked me up from the airport, breakfast-for-lunch was calling. These folks offer a kids menu- but seriously though, Chery'ls breakfast is all grown up and we were here for it. Founded by a husband+wife duo, if you're looking for one of the best breakfasts Portland has to offer, most agree- based on reviews, Cheryl's is the place to go. The high ceilings are very industrial influence- but it's those bistro-type chairs and tables that add a touch of soft to the entire place. The space is just stunning. It's a popular place and I can almost see folks queuing for breakfast and lunch. If you like your breakfast somewhat on the interesting side, come here. My daughter's been here before- but the few times I've visited her, somehow, I've bypassed this place. My grown kid decided on the kids menu Challah French Toast with lemon curd and fresh whip. Thankfully, she went for the kids version instead of the regular 2-slice Fr. toast- because even the 1 slice the kid got, was too rich and she barely finished the other half. At a whopping $29.95, my crab+spinach+ cherry tomato omelette and topped with Gruyère and mornay sauce, was a monster. And in true Portland style, it was all crab and none of the orange artificial stuff. Another thing to note, instead of the typical 'bread basket', these folks bring to the table the fluffiest beignets. We were salivating! I could go on and on about the breakfast my daughter and I had here, but you need to try it for yourself. And by the way, our server was spot on and pleasant! .

Lovely place to grab breakfast/brunch, but be warned it gets packed! The service was fantastic, we were seated right away with a party of 6 regardless of the placed being busy. They have an event center next door that we were placed in that was much quieter & enjoyable. The larger parties were seated here. The manager even found a speaker to play music in the background. The food was delicious. The portions were very large. The cheese was good. You get a choice of rosemary potatoes or hash browns on the side. The hot coffee was not very good although it looks pretty, the iced coffee was fantastic! They have an espresso machine they use to make the iced drinks. The croque monsuire was good if you like a lot of cheese. I do wish I would have gotten some French toast or eggs Benedict though. Large parties require the gratuity charge factored in which is why they prioritize the large parties, but it was nice being seated away from all the noise in the main room. Definitely would eat here again! The food was hot, fresh, great service, and quick to sit down. They also give out complimentary beignets!!!

First off, I set up a reservation online because I knew it was gonna be packed on a Saturday morning. I ended up being late with transit delays but was seated shortly without a hitch. The place is beautiful inside and it smells of amazing food and warm, loving cooked meals. My waiter (forgot your name!!) was excellent. Sat down and took my order, made me feel comfortable and heard and was excellent at getting all I needed. Truly an excellent experience. And can we just RAVE over the crab bennie? Soo much delicious crab and the crunch of asparagus, paired that with my salted caramel decaf cappuccino and the complimentary beignet and I was head over heels. Favorite brunch spot thus far since coming home

Amazing food, excellent service! We will definitely be coming back! The French toast and huevos rancheros were exceptionally good.

This place was pretty close to our hotel so we thought we'd give it a try. We came on a Sunday morning and a table for 2 was about a 15 minute wait. We were seated outside, down the block because they were extremely busy, but it was nice outside so we didn't mind. Also, the server was still very attentive so it was great. We ordered mimosas for the table. We tried it with lavender and guava. They were more like a purer to add to the champagne, rather than juice. It was different but tasted than what we were used to, but we liked it. The crab benedict is a must try with the grits. The croque madame was good. I would've definitely skipped the potatoes. They were overcooked and a little dry. All in all, an amazing breakfast spot! Service was fantastic and food was yummy.

One of my favorite breakfast spots in Portland!! Whenever I come back home I make sure to stop in here. I was brought in by the Portuguese Fried Rice a couple years ago after a long night out and have been back many times after. The portions are amazing, definitely leftovers unless you go in with an empty stomach (we did and still left with lots of food). I ordered a peppermint mocha and my sister got a guava mimosa which came after the food which was a little frustrating but I think that was just a side effect of coming on a Sunday morning. Our waiter was kind, personable but make sure you keep your head on a swivel when you are walking around... When we were leaving every couple of steps we were having to move to the side for a worker.

Im a foodie, so I always enjoy dining at new spots. My daughters friend gave a few suggestions and wanted to try Cheryl's on 12th. Let me get the bad out of the way. I made reservations online for 10:15 a.m., but we still waited about 20+ minutes. I asked if I could have a cup of coffee while we wait, and the front host said no because there's no way to charge me for it if I'm not seated. Hmmm, add it to my bill later or cash me out? Oh well, after we were seated, everything was much better. I ordered the Portuguese Sausage Fried Rice, and it was good. It had a few pieces of sausage, and I couldn't finish it. This dish can be shared. Idk what the fried dough was, but it too was delicious. Overall, it's a great brunch spot.

Food and service was great! The place was decorated very cute. Only thing is I wish they had an indoor waiting area.

Super cute place! Amazing fried rice. I highly recommend it if you're stopping at Cheryl's. Coffee is amazing too!

We came here on a labor day and it was very packed. For a group of 2, we waited about 30 min to be seated but once we ordered our food, it came out super quickly. They gave out complimentary beignets which were delicious. The portuguese fried rice and the huevos rancheros had a big portion and everything tasted great. Suitable for bigger groups and families.

I've heard a lot from people hyping up Cheryl's on 12th - I had to try. I came here for brunch on my birthday. We ordered biscuits and gravy, their Croque Monsieur, and eggs Benedict. We ordered a lot to try out more things on their large menu. Ultimately, we thought the food was just okay. Everything lacked a little salt and pepper in our opinion and it felt like just diner food. The free beignets were actually quite good. They set the bar pretty high at the beginning of our meal, but sadly, it just went down from there. It wasn't a terrible experience by any means, but it wasn't something that I was particularly WOW'd by. The service was great. The gentleman was courteous and attentive and was super kind. He was respectful and allowed us to take our time ordering. The ambiance of the place wasn't something I was able to comment on. I was seated in the far back in the corner of the restaurant. We had to walk through stairs, hallways, and bathrooms to get to our spot.

Very yummy and great service ! Georgina is the best 10/10 recommend! Will be coming back:)

This is one of the best brunch spots in town truly. They are open until 4 but really I see it as a brunch spot. The location can be tricky to find parking but there is a garage across the street if you can snag a street spot. The entrance has a fairly good size foyer and holds quite a few people... and it is most often FULL. You will often see the owners themselves walking along the line providing samples and small bites to those who wait. Although you walk in and see dining area there is a whole lot more down behind the kitchen. The kitchen is an open concept where you can watch what is going on. The location has a full bar and espresso area that you can order from your seat. They have the drinks on the menu as well both suggested alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. They serve fresh hot beignets at the table sort of like table bread only better. The orange juice and coffee drinks are great. The Apple Frittwich, Croque Monsieur, Croque Madame and French toast will not disappoint if you like those things. Check out the Portuguese fried rice as well. Service can take a few minutes because... well they are busy but the service staff is top notch. Not a CHEAP brunch but a good brunch. You should give it a go.

SO SAD. Unfortunately, we will not be back. And I must state that it wasn't for lack of trying on our waiters part. He did the best he could with a bad situation. First, this was our first experience here, and when we came in the main dining room was full, so they took us to a second room. Unfortunately, right off the bat, the room was freezing. And they did not have enough heaters to go round for everyone. So we had to keep our coats and our hats on while we ate. But the food was so sorely lacking. I ordered the eggs Benedict, and there were several things wrong with it. First, the Canadian bacon tasted burnt. I can't figure out why since it wasn't really burnt, but it had this charcoal, metallic taste to it. Second of all, the hollandaise on top was congealed, and my friend eating with me insisted that it must've come from a mix and not from scratch. It was so underwhelming that I just couldn't eat it at all. And my friend said his food was just OK too, and neither of us had a full meal. In fact, even though the waiter tried his hardest to make our experience better, we ended up going somewhere else for breakfast. Unfortunately (or fortunately), we will not be returning.

One of our first meals in Portland and Cheryl's did not disappoint! We were seated right away by a lovely window table but the entire place was so airy and bright. We ordered four items: Huevos Rancheros, Savory Mushroom omelette, Eggs Sardou, and the Portuguese fried rice. All were so delicious and came out relatively quick. Our waitress was so friendly as well, going above and beyond in taking pictures for us Definitely recommend!

Had a big day at work with presentations overlapping the lunch hour so was looking for a place that had steak & eggs for breakfast to make sure it would tie me over for a late lunch. Cheryl's on 12th delivered. Mercedes was my server and she brought over a sample of the portuguese rice stating that my entree would take a while. She also brought over a beignet which I held onto to try after my main breakfast. Everything was really good and I had a nice sampling of a few different things to start my big day! This place is now on my official return list for the next time I'm in Portland.

The Portuguese Fried Rice got me on hello! It was delicious! Perfect breakfast for champions! Coming from LA, I decided to empty my expectations and start from zero. This place delivered! Right as soon as my family stepped in, we were greeted happily and sat right away. Our server was so friendly and attended to our needs. My son enjoyed his pancakes while my wife was delighted with her Fried Egg Sandwich. Happy tummy again! Inside has some character. It's homey and nostalgic. Street parking only. I highly recommended!

Cheryl's is a family favorite for us. One of my daughters lives in Portland. Every time I visit, Cheryl's is a must! Today's visit was a little extra special though. I flew in to take my daughter wedding dress shopping but we had to eat at Cheryl's first (priorities!) It's always been great but with the larger space, we enjoy our food much faster!

Cheryl's on 12th is a solid stop if you are in the area of downtown Portland for work. The eggs benedict are always on point, with perfectly poached eggs and a rich, creamy hollandaise. The cheesy potatoes are a must-try! Savory and indulgent, they add the perfect touch to any breakfast. Service is friendly and quick, making it easy to grab a great meal and still be on time for your day.

Overall such a wonderful experience for a brunch in downtown! Was easily able to make a reservation for 2 on a Saturday after the holidays. Coming into the restaurant it was decently packed and gave a lively atmosphere. We were seated right away and greeted by our waiter, but there was a slight change due to seating arrangements for a big party and they asked us to move. They were super kind and sweet about it and offered us a complimentary treat. Along with the complimentary cinnamon roll they also provide fresh beignets, which was another sweet treat that was the perfect touch to our brunch experience. We ordered our food and got the jumbo egg sandwich and croque monsiuer along with the vanilla latte and mexican mocha. All was really yummy and we could not finish everything so we had leftovers that we brought home. Would definitely come back and try more on the menu and the staff was really nice and welcoming.

Great breakfast spot in downtown Portland. We came here Sunday morning and the place was packed. After five minutes they were able to free a table for us. We ordered some coffee and juice, the fried rice and the quiche Lorraine. Staff is super friendly and you realize why the place is so popular. The food was great. The fried rice with linguica sausage is a perfect combo. The quiche was also really good. If you're in the area check it out. The portion size is also generous, so can easily also be enough for dinner. Also got some complimentary beignets which was a nice touch.

We had a girlfriend reunion that included a trip to Portland to see Bonnie Raitt in concert. We had breakfast at Cheryl's before our drive back. We were greeted warmly, and seated promptly. We were served apple beignets shortly after being seated. They were warm, fresh, and light. We received samples of the chilaquiles and Portuguese fried rice - excellent. Ed, one of the owners, visited our table several times. He provided a great overview and suggestions. Our server provided outstanding service. Everyone enjoyed their breakfast, and we will definitely return next time we're in the area.

Veggie scramble - the veggies so hard (raw) couldn't eat. Husband's Benedict was awesome. Service great - will try again.

How I heard of this place: Visiting Portland for the umpteenth time, we happened across a Visitor's Center that suggested Cheryl's for breakfast, as it has "something for everyone". We decided to give it a go! Type of cuisine: A mixed genre menu. A "New American restaurant & cafe situated in the heart of downtown Portland". Everything from Portugese fried rice to waffles, eggs benny and scrambles, the space does have something for everyone. A special weekend brunch menu is also available. Ambiance: "Its beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows, quaint charm, and delicious cuisine make it a hot spot for foodies all around. Get here early to guarantee your seat and complimentary light, fluffy beignets." The corner spot is spacious and fun, whimsical Easter decorations took over the entire restaurant! Seating seems plentiful, but the place is bustling from 8:30 in the morning onward. Streams of diners, some in business attire, others with family and friends stopped in for a drink and treat or a meal. Staff is always working, running back and forth with orders, food, etc. What I ordered: Prior to ordering, we were offered one beignets each, warm and freshly fried. After selecting our beverages, a mocha ($4.75) for me and a caramel oat milk latte ($4.50+) for my husband, as well as two small apple juices ($4 each). I selected Ed's Scramble ($16.75) - eggs, extra large roasted vegetables, caramelized onion, spinach, cheddar and jack cheeses, sour cream and ranchero sauce; the Portugese Fried Rice ($16.95) for my husband - Linguica sausage over bacon-and-egg fried rice with green onion and avocado; a Fried Egg Sandwich ($17.25) for our third diner - Bacon, ham or sausage with fried egg and cheddar, served with cheesy hash browns or roasted red potatoes. Consuming raw or under-cooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish or eggs may Increase your risk of food-borne illness, and two sides of crispy bacon ($4.50 each). What I loved: The fried rice was amazing! It was perfectly seasoned and hearty. My scramble was dry, the eggs overcooked, while the huge chunks of broccoli were under-cooked and difficult to eat in one bite. The ranchero sauce was too watery and left something to be desired. The Fried Egg Sandwich looked so good, I think I'll have to try it on a future visit. The espresso beverages, too, left much to be desired; perhaps eat here, but get your coffee elsewhere. Why I loved it: The service was efficient, friendly and the space sweet and cozy. Cost: Average to high

Was struggling with this review, I'll tell you why. It was a busy Saturday morning when my family stopped in for breakfast. The friendly staff quickly found us a table and took our order. Things went a bit sideways here, my daughter's meal was delivered quickly, followed by my wife's about 8 minutes later. I had ordered the same, French toast casserole. We are looking around, waiting somewhat patiently for another 10 minutes or so. Then the manager came over, apologized (a lot) and brought us a few things to snack on. There had been some confusion about my order, it was in the way, and no charge. The meal was fabulous, very good and huge portion. This is one of those times I could had given a 2 rating because of the delays, or a 5 for the great food. I decided on the 4 because of the fantastic way they handled it, and I believe they truly cared. Thank you.

Finally went back to Cheryl's and am glad we did! This time we got the French dip. We ordered the apple fritter sandwich again, too. The french dip was amazing. Probably one of the best I've ever had. The fritter sandwich was even better than last time. I was also impressed with the service. It took my wife a long time to find parking. After waiting a bit I was offered coffee and water. As soon as my wife walked in they waited on us and brought out the fresh Beignets. The place is a tight squeeze as far as seating goes but isn't overly disruptive.

We loved Cheryl's so much, we came back the next day! The best thing we ordered was the Portuguese fried rice, the sausage in that was especially yummy. They were able to make the fried egg into scrambled for my breakfast sandwich, and it was very tasty, bread was perfectly crispy and so much sausage too. We also tried a few drinks, and you really can't go wrong with a margarita. I think the only disappointments were the cheesy hash brown casserole was kinda bland, I did have high expectations though, as a self appointed hash brown connoisseur. My partner got Ed's scramble our second trip and everything in it was slightly underdone too.. but I had plenty of rice to share! I'd come back, if not just for the rice dish.

The food here is so good. Our server two times ago sat us by the beverage bookcase and was so nice about it. She did her job well by making us forget we had a less-than-ideal table. She was slammed but still maintained a sense of humor. (Sorry, I forget her name, but she's tall, has long-ish black hair, and wears glasses.) The food preparation and service were expedient, so we were satisfied quickly while they get a high turnover rate. Win/win. Someone (Cheryl and team) knows what they're doing, and it's reflected in the customer satisfaction. The complementary beignets are a nice touch, too! It's almost too successful. My only wish is that they can hopefully straighten out the back room seating layout and furnishings so it's a little more hospitable. And ditch the Dollar Tree Valentine's decorations. The seasonal decorations made me think it was an employee's idea and instead of squelching the good morale, ownership is prioritizing what hill to die on, and the cheesy temporary decorations wasn't it. I see you Cheryl! Anyway -- this place and Mother's are our two fail-safe go-tos for brunch downtown. Totally worth the wait and parking roulette.

We stopped by Cheryl's on 12th on a Friday morning. It was busy, but we were seated right away and the service was great. I'd say food options and coffee drinks were good and it was a solid brunch spot. Definitely recommend!

This place looked very popular and smelled delicious and I am so happy I went inside. The staff are super friendly and even though they were busy they checked on us multiple times to make sure we were okay. The food came super quick. I really loved the complimentary beignets and they were fluffy. The cheesy potatoes are delicious and I could eat an entire side on its own. The most popular dish here was the Portuguese fried rice so I had to make sure I tried that and the portion was huge and it did not disappoint at all. You could taste the spices and it had a feeling of comfort when eating it. Would definitely recommend!

Never in my life have I been to a restaurant that was named after me! It is a busy place so I would recommend making reservations. If you go at 10 am, expect to wait awhile. The place is a bit cramped if you ask me. We ate the following: Beignet - 5/5 - it was complementary and was light as a feather. That was the best thing we are there. Portuguese fried rice - 4/5 - really good fried rice. You can taste the butter they put in there. The best selling dish on the menu according to the waitress. Blueberry and Lemon curd French Toast - 3/5 - challah bread was stale and a bit chewy. I like the flavor but wished the bread was fresher. The edges were really dry. Or maybe it didn't get all the way moistened by the egg mixture. Service was ok. I felt like we were shoved in a corner where the drinks were near a bookshelf and somewhat abandoned by the staff. It was an awkward seating situation in a big aisle way for the wait staff.

What an amazing meal! The Portuguese fried rice is in fact as good as they claim. The chorizo omelette has a house ranchero sauce that made it so much better. The cheesy hash browns were unexpectedly delicious. They come with some cornflakes on top. I would go back just to get the cheesy hash browns. Cherie was our server and made the entire experience even better.

I got lucky and waited less than 5 minutes to be seated. It's close to the Ace Hotel and an angel of a person helped me find it because I was confused (nothing new) at the intersection. After a 3 minute walk, I found the right door. There's a huge room for events but keep going! It's decked out for Easter and the nice person who basically escorted me here recommended the Portuguese Fried Rice. I didn't think I could get it since I can't eat chicken eggs. Was asking for recs and the server was like, let me get you the vegan and gluten free menu (!!!). I eat meat, tho And that's when she changed my life by informing me I can still get the fried rice sans egg. It's cured my hangover and I kept involuntarily making little grunting sounds whilst eating because it's SO FLAVORFUL. Another person on staff asked if I wanted hot sauce. EAT THIS WITH YOUR FAVORITE HOT SAUCE. It takes it to another level. 11/10

This was recommended to me by someone years ago so I expected to like it, but unfortunately I myself could not recommend this food. It was a very low quality american meal. 3 out of 3 of us were disappointed in our food. I ordered the prime rib french dip and that was the worst one I've ever eaten in my life - the ones I remember from grade school cafeteria were far superior. I can't even pinpoint what felt so wrong about it, but just a slew of things - the meat tasted gross, not cooked well, extremely cheap shaved meat that had no flavor, just covered in a layer of cheese on a very soggy bun (the bottom bun was already soaked and falling apart by the time it reached me). The horseradish sauce had au jus on it so I couldnt even tell what the sauce was at first, and it also had a weak flavor. The au jus itself tasted like dollar store powdered gravy mixed with water. Had no depth of a normal beef au jus, or barely even a beef broth. I couldn't even finish my food and that basically never happens - and the rest of the day I felt sick and had no appetite after that meal, so needless to say I'm disappointed to have wasted $20 on this. The curried pea salad that I chose to come with it was also strange, but maybe the most edible part of this plate - although i did not like that it was crunchy, and I believe it may have had walnuts in it - which i thought were undercooked lentils at first - but if they are nuts, they should definitely be labeled as an allergen in the menu if it indeed has any nuts in it (again, not sure if it does) but just because I know people that would've ordered it and not expected any nuts to be in a pea salad. One of my friends ordered a breakfast burrito and that is also something they never fail to enjoy, except today as well - their tortilla was soggy and falling apart as well, and not wrapped tightly enough. The cheesy potato side was also strange tasting which seems like something that cant normally go wrong... The last person at our table ordered the huevos rancheros and there was just a single wet tortilla on the bottom of the dish, not fried/crispy as it should be in this dish. The food was all undersalted - eggs had no salt at all, beans needed at minimum salt but also more flavor too. On top of that, the portion/plate as a whole was tiny - practically a cheap side plate size from IKEA. They couldn't even bother to put it on a real dinner plate or put an adult portion on there for 16.99. The only highlight were the drinks. The coffee & chai based cocktails were a delight - not too sweet, to our liking. Service was not bad nor too slow despite it being a busy weekend. Only comment was that I asked for a drink that never came but I let it go because the servers were too busy to check in on us and it wasn't that important. Also one person at our table was missing utensils, one person got a fork and a knife, and i just got a fork so the table was inconsistently set. Seemed weird too that right after they dropped off the food, they dropped off the check - without asking if we wanted to order more drinks, food or dessert. But that's ok because we didn't want anything else and I get that they were busy, just seemed like a strange business decision which I'm sure was not the servers' fault.

A friendly and welcoming waitress brings us complimentary beignets, soft airy beignets that are very tasty. I order mornay omelette and my wife gets french toast. Both are fairly good accompanied by coffee. Would I spend $30 on a crab omelette based on what I'm tasting? Probably not. Maybe if they made their own baked goods and the food didn't immediately taste of Cisco products. It's good enough, but the restaurant, for having such nice waitresses should try to make food that is top notch.

Amazing service and delicious food! I love the ambiance and environment of the business as well! I remember the drinks being delicious as well. Lots of cute decorations all around the restaurant.

Waiter: Steven Steven was a great waiter. Before he listed off specials and recommendations, he was very mindful in asking if we were vegetarian or vegan. He then listed off the most popular dishes in which we ended up ordering. He was very structured, quick and straight to the point. Service was great. Food: The blackened chicken sandwich was really good. The sauce had a lot of flavor and the chicken was tender. The Portuguese fried rice was good. We added the extra egg which was a nice addition. It's nice seeing a fried rice option on a brunch menu rather than just the standard basic breakfast options. As for the tenderloin benedict, it lacked seasoning unfortunately, but the funeral cheesy potatoes were really good. Cheryl's was a nice restaurant. Good environment, great for families. Fairly price, and it wasn't too loud. However it did get really warm. All in all, we had a good experience and would come back.

Made it to this place on my second attempt and did not regret it! Me and my friend had an hour before our departure to the airport and we stopped at Cheryl's for breakfast! The service was excellent, everything was served fast and it was delicious! I loved their house made donuts, I also got their fried rice - loved it! I wish my latte was a nudge hotter, because it got cold too fast, but I still think highly of this place. 10/10 recommend.
