Dockside Saloon & Restaurant

Super friendly staff with fresh and tasty food. Great sandwich selection. The salsa was unique and a bit different, yet oddly good. The Bloody Mary mix has excellent flavor, just wish they offered more garnishing (I'm spoiled by the Bloody Marys in Texas.)

Honestly this place rocks. We are new to the area and went to try it out for the first time for the inaugural duck game. Atmosphere is exactly what you would hope for a local watering hole. Timeless and homey. Unfortunately the game was not available, but that was a Comcast issue and the owner was working feverishly to try and figure out the situation which I appreciate. Food was killer, exactly the kind of bar food I love to have for enjoying a game. The club was fantastic and the hash browns are not to be missed. Perfect level of crisp with a nice fluffy interior. Also wound up getting a burger for happy hour which was hearty and delicious. Big menu, lots of fun stuff to try. Beer is great, food is awesome, vibe is right. I expect to come back here as my new local spot.

I had a very delicious birria omelet. Service was good! Drinks were great!

Food was really good and well priced. They had a Christopher Walken picture on their walkin fridge so that's an immediate 5 stars. Went out for our Sunday family brunch. You can get big mimosas. MORE-mosas if you will. Food was excellent.

6/11/24. 4pm. Bartender while I visited was super cool =) the menu is pretty straight forward, burgers, sandwiches, salads, clam chowder, tacos.. there’s outdoor seating where you can see the street so it’s great for people watching! They haven’t lotto machines. Well lit from all the windows makes a nice ambiance. The kitchen is exposed and you can see it’s clean and I saw the chef even wiping the walls down. I appreciate that!

Steak and eggs were a generous portion cooked to order. Service was quick for a busy establishment on a snowy day. Excellent playlist without the distraction of TouchTunes. Plan on finding a public parking spot nearby or walking/biking in.

The last time I came here was in 2012 when I was 9 months pregnant. I asked for extra whipped cream and they delivered. It looks like it’s under new management, as their old parking lot is gone and there’s no story about Tonya Harding in the back of their menu. Happy to say that their food quality is still good. I ordered the loaded waffles and my 12 year old ordered the basic breakfast with meat. My husband ordered one of the scrambles.

I'm not sure if this is a diner trying to be a bar, or a bar trying to be a diner. It doesn't matter either way as it could be both. Small place with as many bar stools as there are tables, a floor that tilts toward the street and truly vintage carpet. The food is simple American. I had a cup of chowder, and the chicken fried steak. I would say it was several steps above Dennys but not home made quality. Portions were generous and the food arrived quickly. Service was quick. There are no frills offered or available. Definitely the place the locals go, as my server seemed to know everyone but me by name.

Came in for a burger to a bar and grill 1pm on a Saturday. Crazy me. Too much to ask for. Only breakfast till 2pm...We're not all nursing hangovers. We found this out only after ordering my wife's Avocado toast which she was excited to find. So it's 145pm and my turn to go find a bar and grill to get a burger. She did enjoy the avocado toast

Love the people, the food, and the environment. They are so helpful even on busy days. It is common sense if you come to a family restaurant on a weekend where fresh food is served, there may be a longer wait than usual. But they are anttentive and make you feel safe and check on you. I really love the waffles and recommend waffles with strawberries. Don't miss the hashbrowns! They are amazing. Thank you Dockside family

Good little hidden spot with some video slot games, a solid breakfast and Bud Light beers to start a beach day.

Love this place. It has been here for ages, and their breakfast is your typical fare breakfast. I would recommend this place for the price point, and you're just hungry for the typical breakfast without any frills. I mean, c'mon, there's too many brunch places in Portland with their own spin on breakfast. Sometimes, you just want a plate of just eggs, bacon, and hash. This is the place for that or your typical omelet.

Dockside has been around forever, before the gentrification of this neighborhood, and I love how it's still there on the same corner, not updated, surrounded by all these modern buildings. Inside it's a typical, casual pub. Several booths line the windows, with tables, and bar seating rounding out the inside. There are also some outdoor tables. You can seat yourself, you don't need to wait for the hostess. Breakfast is their specialty and they serve it all day. Also burgers, salads, clam chowder, chili, and a variety of hot and cold sandwiches. We all ordered breakfast for lunch. I got the Tracey's scramble - eggs, green peppers, ham, bacon, sausage and cheese - with hash browns which were crispy and delicious. The scramble was very tasty, the only thing I'd change is swap the green peppers for red. Friends got other breakfast items - the huevos ranchero and the Eggs Benedict. Everyone was satisfied. The waitress was friendly and efficient, even though she was super busy. She even left a pitcher of soda on the table for my friends. All in all, a great spot for breakfast.

I love the classic spot! The prices are affordable and the food is good! Their bartenders have excellent service and they have helped me out a couple times when I needed a Red Bull. I absolutely recommend checking out dockside and learning about their super cool history

Nice happy hour food options, warm vibe and decent cocktails. Service was spot on. Parking can be tough in. This hood though.

The burger was delicious! The server was friendly and the service was fast. Best of all I haven't had RC Cola for 30 years! Bright my childhood memories back which I was able to share with my kids!

This place is still one of our favorite breakfast spots. Great team - it recently changed ownership and we are happy that the new owner kept most of the team. He did changed some to the better and some are things you need to get used to. He changed the cutlery and that was about time he also now use fabric napkins - fancy yes but more friendly to the environment (when washed right) and way more posh to the guests. But it's not that Dockland get posh at all and that's good that way since we most likely would not like it that way. Haha. The new owner changed also the hours and Dockland is now even open the whole week. This is all the good news. The prices are a little bit updated (higher) and they changed the hash browns - before they had the best hash in town. Now - if you order them crisp (!) they are good. But no longer the best. But still better than other places. But I'll hope he switches back to the old style recipe. They have good food, a great service team and sitting outside almost all year long is enjoyable. It is worth the extra mile to get some good Food.

I'd never even heard of Dockside before a couple months ago, and had we stopped in on the day I'd intended, we would have coincidentally visited on its last day of operation under the helm of the original owners. Shame. Even so, the handoff to the new owners appears to have been a smooth transition, because this place rocks! Fantastic food, (mostly) attentive service, and a charming, rustic aesthetic. We stopped in for brunch, ordering between us the taco omelet, Florentine eggs benedict with ham, a Loaded Mary (Bloody Mary with all the fixins), and a MANmosa, because screw your fluted glass, pour us a big one! I expected to be a bit underwhelmed by my omelet, as I generally don't order breakfast food much. I'd tried to order off the lunch menu, which wasn't available at the time, and had to pivot at the last minute, but fortunately, I landed on a winner! It's hard to go wrong with spiced beef, cheese, egg, salsa and sour cream! Across the table, my wife was in ecstasy over her eggs benedict, claiming it was one of the best she'd had anywhere! From the sampling I took, she's probably right - even the Hollandaise, which can be tricky to execute correctly, found itself firmly in the Goldilocks zone - not too egg-y, not too lemon-y. We may have missed the Dockside during the reign of its founding generation, but its legacy, and continued operation, are in good hands.

The service is horrible. If you are lucky enough to flag a server to take your order, prepare to wait awhile! As an added bonus they won't come to you to ask if you want a coffee/water refill or order another beer. When you wonder and/or complain about where your order is (45 min-1 hour wait) you are met with entitlement and rudeness. Don't come here, even if their food is pretty good. Not worth the attitude. Miss the former owners.

We love Dockside! I came here years ago with co-workers, when I worked down the street. Loved it then and love it still. When I first brought my dad here, for Father's Day. He was really wanting some kind of crab breakfast and sure enough, they had it on the menu. He loved every bite of his crab Benedict. The next time we went, he had a crab omelette and really liked that too. I get the scramble every time because it's so dang good and never lets me down. When the season is right, we sit outside and bring our dog. They even bring her water. They have great service and the food is absolutely delicious. Winning all around at Dockside!

I have been going to this place for years. It is consistent in the quality of food and service. All outstanding! The food is some of the best diner food in the city. Everyone is friendly and not the typical douche Portland attitude. This place is always a fave in my book!!

Love my local spot. I was so worried they would shut down when all this new builds were popping up. This is my go to for breakfast, lunch or dinner when I used to live really close by. This place gets crazy busy but I could look out my window and just call the order for pick up or head over when I see people leaving. Things I order here that always hit the spot are basically all breakfast items, burgers and melts.

Welcoming and friendly is always a good start to a tasty meal. More important, however, whether ordering breakfast, lunch or dinner, each meal I've ordered has been served at an appropriate temperature and hits the mark on taste. Dockside will continue to be my favorite "GO TO" eatery.

My favorite spot to go grab some food, friendliest staff and great service. From blueberry pancakes to huge salads or a hot dog that is simple yet delicious!

Their food has always been great and love their menu. Did the ownership change? The service is not as friendly as it used to be, however. There's an entitlement now, like it's inconvenient for them to ask for your drink order when they bring menus, don't ask if you want another drink when your glass has been empty for 20 minutes, etc. Disappointing experiences the last few times...sigh.

Shortly "after" the pandemic, we were lamenting the lack of good diners still alive in NW/SW Portland -- that is, until (somehow) we stumbled upon Dockside's reopening news -- and we've been weekend-regulars since. Fascinating historical context aside (from the turn-of-century photos on the walls, to the Tanya Harding connection I'll leave you to discover), this is the PDX diner you've been looking for. My old standard was the corned beef hash (these are not the flavorless farmhouse chunks you know from every "hip" new restaurant in town -- this is crispy, salty delight), but recently I've been converted to Terry's Famous Scramble: diner-style eggs have never had such a satisfying cross-section of flavor. Toss in the drinks (from the Manmosa to the Salty Dog), and fantastic service from an incredible crew (special shout out to the ever-excellent Krissi!), this is a semi-hidden, surviving Portland gem.

Had brunch here yesterday with a group of dear friends! The atmosphere here is such a happy vibe. The staff is phenomenal to patrons and other employees!! The breakfast food was the best! My favorite was the birria omelet yet everyone else dishes were just as equally yummy! Our waiter was Norman, who nailed it in personality and service! Definitely looking to going back and having great food and Stormin Norman and the whole staff who were the best!

Great service. Family friendly restaurant. A variety of choices depending on what you are craving. Best drinks thus far! Must try the mimosas. I had a pineapple mimosa and it was refreshing. The cooks are efficient and friendly as well. Come with family or friends! Thank you Dockside family!

The fresh crab eggs benedict was out of this world! The service was great and had just the right amount of checking in on our table without interrupting the meal.

Food was great and the prices were fair. Nice seating and roomy for bigger families. Service was great and respectful!

Waited over an hour for mediocre food :/ We won't be coming back again! Second time we've waited for waaayy too loooong!

Seated outside immediately on a beautiful Sunday morning with no waiting by a super friendly staff. The entire restaurant was clean, including the bathrooms. My daughter had the Country fried steak which she said was a bit bready, but the gravy was so good that it made the dish. The sausage side was so good that I stole a piece! They took the time to split the biscuit and grill the halves so that it made a nice crispness to every bite, even covered in gravy or jam! I got the classic eggs Benedict which came out perfect! Covered in a Hollandaise that was not to eggy or lemony, but a nice balance of both and smooth. Covered in a dusting of paprika and parsley. The eggs were poached to perfection. Just luscious! We brought our pup, Nova, and they were extremely dog friendly, as two other well behaved pups were also chilling with their owners at breakfast. Definitely will be returning and highly recommend.

Ordered take out and opted for the Reuben sandwich and I can safely say I was not letdown and would love another! The potato salad was also really good (4/5). I prefer my salad to be a little thicker and less watery. The sandwich however is a triple decker with bread, meat, bread, and cheese which adds a different twist to it. I honestly forgot where the sauerkraut was in there but it's there! The meat is also delicious and was some of the best tasting I'd had on a Reuben. Would def get that sandwich again.

i love this place Kathy and her amazing staff serve the best food and drinks and are super kind. Yesterday I had a delicious reuben and pumpkin drink to celebrate fall. Pumpkin pancakes will arrive very soon. They wont open until Thursday since this is their off season. On the weekends you can park for free across the street. Great eggs Benedict, biscuits and hash browns .

Old school bar and restaurant- in the best ways. Staff gets along and everyone seems happy to be there working. The food was better than expected. They have a lot of TVs if you need somewhere to watch a game.

Diner type food. We've been going to this restaurant for a long time and yesterday was the first problem we've had there. Some problem with the kitchen crew. Waited an hour and 15 minutes for our order to arrive, as was also the case with other tables around us. Very disappointing. I'd be afraid to try it again, at least on a weekend.

My experience was pretty so-so. I came here because a friend suggested it. Our party of 2 waited about 15 minutes (or more) to be greeted by a server after we were seated on a Sunday afternoon. The food came out slowly as well. The pros are the moremosa (it's just about the perfect ratio of sparkling wine with a faint hint of juice, which I greatly appreciate) and the pancake was good. The cons are the very slow service and some of the other food items. If you have even a hint of cholesterol concerns or issues, you probably shouldn't order or have the hash browns. There's enough butter in there to last you a full year (or more) and I say this as someone who comes from Texas where there is next to zero health consciousness. I ordered an omelette with spinach, tomato, mushrooms and jalapeños. To my surprise, there was a bit of ham, onion and bell pepper in the omelette. When I inquired about the bell pepper, I was told "yes, that's what bell peppers look like," which wasn't my point; there shouldn't have been any bell peppers in there in the first place. I'm no longer a vegetarian, but if you are, please be very mindful that you might end up with surprise meat in your omelette. I live about three minutes away and I doubt I'll be back.

We've been coming here for years and love the food and atmosphere! They've changed a few things for the better under new ownership; The bathrooms are updated and the place was fixed up a bit. Not sure if there's a new cook or ?? The. Bacon is not as good and undercooked. Crispy is the only way - come on! And the hash browns used to be the best but now they're cooked only on one side, soggy on the other - again why change the recipe as they were epic. Hope they fix these issues! Still love the place.

John is the kind of person you want working for you. He's so lovely. He takes customer service to the next level. I'll be back thanks to him!

Vibes. Perfect hashbrowns. Stellar breakfast. Can't go wrong. Best drip coffee you could ever imagine getting from a diner. Would come back to Portland just for Dockside.

Breakfast Burrito Over priced and underwhelming. Thought I'd get more bang for my buck. That's what I get for assuming $15 burrito would be more than a couple eggs and a piece of bacon. Even paid the $3.50 to add sausage and got one small jimmy dean sized link in the burrito. Thought there would be potato's in the burrito itself but the put them on the side.

I rarely make it to this part of town (I tend to stick to SE and downtown), but went for a bike ride along the river, and stopped in for a late lunch. The place feels a little out of place, with all the glass and steel condos that have been built up around it, but as we ease out of pandemic restrictions, everything is a little weird. Sunny day, so I ended up sitting outside on their covered sidewalk seating that I'm guessing was built for the COVID-era, scanned the QR code, and checked the sandwich board for what beers were on tap. The patio was nice and airy, and a great seating option, especially during off-hours (was in around 2:30 PM). Ended up getting the chicken fried steak and a middle of the road pale ale. The CFS (and the whole plate) was a little on the smaller side for just north of $14, but not unexpected considering the location being right on the edge of the gentrification of the area. CFS was a little light in color, not quite having the golden brown I had been expecting, and leaning slightly towards the doughy side with the batter. The serving of the hashbrowns also felt a little skimpy, but they were appropriately fried. The biscuits were pre-buttered, and served with packets of honey. The food definitely didn't wow, but it wasn't horrible either. Felt like it was essentially coming straight off the Sysco truck, and slightly stingy on the portions for my taste. I did take a quick peek inside, and there was some video poker, a few tables inside, and a small bar. It has a hole in the wall feel, but with a white-washed veneer. I was probably the youngest customer in there by a decade, and my impression was that it was pretending to be a dive bar/diner, but catering to gentrified former yuppies who had moved into the high end apartments and condos in the area. All that being said, if I was in the area and looking to grab a drink and a bite, I wouldn't object to coming here again. I might not pick it out, but if someone in a group wanted to go or whatever, it's perfectly serviceable.

Dockside Saloon and Restaurant was a great spot for a casual brunch. I went here with my running group and they were very accommodating. I got the full order of the biscuits and gravy. I was very satisfied with my food. The gravy was too par and both biscuits were buttery and flakey. The service was good and I liked the vibes of the restaurant. There is street parking in the surrounding area for this restaurant. Overall, it is a good low key spot for a meal.

I had been here a few years ago (way pre Rona) and it was great. It kinda fell off my radar during the epidemic. Well, I was in town during Pride and ate here on a Saturday and told them when we left we should be back for Sunday. Dockside serves the best in my preferred "brunch" genre; the dive bar breakfast. Best Bloody Mary in pdx, and over easy eggs are perfectly done. The service is amazing. Especially the stunning blonde man with a sunburn (it took every strength I had *not* to ask if he needed help applying ointment to the burns. Can't wait to go back.

One of our favorite places to go, usually for breakfast. I give them 5 stars not because it is plush or fancy or elegant. I give the Dockside 5 stars not because the food is the best in town. I give the Dockside 5 stars because: The food is very good. The servers are attentive and friendly. The Dockside is exactly what it is and there is no affectation. Good food, good service, and comfortable. They can easily seat groups of 5 or more. Great for family Sunday morning breakfast.

If you are looking for classic American diner breakfast this is the place to go. BEST hashbrowns in all of Portland. A true staple with a notorious history, if you're from Portland, you know (Tonya Harding, anyone?)! There is a heated outdoor dog friendly patio, and the inside is a perfect cozy dive. The servers are always spectacular and so friendly! The food is always cooked to perfection and the drinks are cheap! The meat, egg, hashbrown, toast plate comes with 4 of whatever meat you order, they don't cheat you like other breakfast spots and give you two pieces of bacon (how could that ever be enough??). It would be nice if there were more vegetarian options, but let's be honest that isn't what you go to dockside for. They close at 9pm (bummer) so don't try to go there for late night drinks!

Hands down, this is the best "old school" breakfast spot in all of Portland. Great history. Fabulous staff. Solid menu. Affordable. Casual and comfortable. Great history. Parking can be a bit challenging, but it is SO worth it. We've been patrons for years and we'll continue to be.

LOUSY SERVICE ! Ignored the entire visit One example is we couldn't get refills on coffee without stopping them and asking. Once my friend looked right at her as she was just standing there doing nothing. She nodded in agreement and went on doing other tasks, after about ten minutes looked at me and remembered. Another came by and started to collect my plate that wasn't even half eaten without asking if I wanted a box . Afterwards we sat for over 15 minutes to get our check. I didn't have exact change or else I wouldn't have left a tip It worked out to be less than 10 percent. Maybe they'll get the hint Couldn't wait to get out of there Never will go back

Phenomenal food. The clam chowder was absolutely on point. Super chill lil spot and the waitress was really nice.

Come here to get your drink wrong, food order wrong and over charged. The food is the bottom of the barrel, scraps.. I left someone on the table right before the closed. Went back and they said they threw it away. Asked if they could get it out of the trash (meanwhile confused why they threw it away within the five minutes) the place was not busy. Does list and found not exist? No respect for overpaying customers who are forced to pay for overcharged food and drinks. Will not be back

Let me start by saying this restaurant has the very best servers in Portland in my estimation. I'm not going to elaborate, just stop by for an early morning breakfast. The food was just ok, I've had better and I've had much worse. I will say the biscuits were great. Val's French toast was marginal and my omelette was ok, the hash browns were very crispy, all In all good breakfast for not much money. A long drive for us so probably won't go back and the #16 bus only runs hourly. But you should give it a try. By the way parking is poor.

My sis-in-law told us this place had the best hash browns and she was right. They're buttery, crispy, golden brown, and cooked all the way through. They've ruined me for hash browns at any other place. The Hubs was impressed by their fluffy pancake and I was by their sausage patty--was it had homemade? It tasted like it was. We ate here for breakfast two days in a row and both times were great. A solid joint for good food at good prices. And, you get to see where Tanya Harding dumped her infamous whacker that she used on Nancy Kerrigan.

They're pretty fierce if you want drinks and/or breakfast! The dinner food I've tried is less than great. But it's a dive bar so who am I to judge?

This place is so good! I got the eggs florentine and it definitely hit the spot. It's a great location with a nice outdoor patio and chill vibe. The Bloody Mary was also quite delicious and my friend got an egg white omelet which she also enjoyed. I'm looking forward to dining here again!

LOVE! We just moved here from Ft. Lauderdale and we absolutely LOVE this place. My 11yr son said it's his favorite cheeseburger. And that's saying something because at the ripe old age of 11 he's had enough cheeseburgers from various places across the country to last a lifetime. I am hesitant to call this a 'Dive Bar'. It has its own unique vibe and feel and since the sandwiches and breakfast are incredible I'm going to stray away from that designation. The wait staff is incredibly funny and efficient. I told my son if this is the only place we eat in Portland ever I'd have no problem with that.

We've been waiting for these fine folks to open back up since we moved down to Portland. Staff were all incredibly friendly. Food was great. Can't wait to go back and grab a beer.
