Fuller's Coffee Shop

"This longstanding Pearl District diner recently reopened after a fire, which means its serpentine counter has re-welcomed its collection of decades-long regulars. “Coffee Shop” is a misnomer — Fuller’s specializes in things like French toast with house-made bread, cranberry sauce Monte Cristos, and nostalgic hits like pigs in a Blanket. Hash browns are typically a winner here, particularly the ones stuffed with vegetables, green chiles, and cheese." - Zoe Baillargeon

"This old-school diner with formica counters and bolted-down chrome stools has been holding strong in the Pearl District since the ’40s, even though it’s now surrounded by art galleries and brewpubs. Prices have kept up with the times, but 10 bucks still goes pretty far at breakfast, whether you’re looking for pigs in a blanket or solid, no-nonsense eggs, bacon, and hashbrown combos. On weekdays, expect early risers, tourists from nearby hotels, and office workers grabbing a quick lunch. " - krista garcia

"One of Portland’s quintessential diners, Fuller’s reopened last fall after a fire with the same stalwarts from its many-decade-old menu — think biscuits and gravy, Monte Cristos, and Denver omelets. During lunch, Portland celebrities like Bill Oakley order the diner’s knockout club sandwich, a double-decker number with chicken salad on one layer and BLT fixings on the other." - Maya MacEvoy, Thom Hilton, Janey Wong
