Heidi's Of Gresham

Heidi’s of Gresham is always a must stop for either breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The food is always well prepared, delicious and tasty. The Eggs Benedict, either traditional style or with Dungeness crab, is definitely a must have. The employees do an exceptional job of providing top notch service with a friendly attitude and a smile making sure your experience is a welcome and pleasant one. There is a gift shop with all kinds of great products that fancy item. It is a warm and inviting place to dine. If you find yourself in the Gresham area and are looking for something delicious to eat then Heidi’s is a great place to go.

I was so excited to find a place with panko breaded Halibut fish and chips. It's so hard to find and the price at Heidi's beat out other options. Everyone else enjoyed their meal too.

Came here for brunch/lunch and it was lovely. It was back in December, it felt like we were in a diner in a Hallmark Christmas movie. We ordered omelets and they were a hefty size, definitely made me full. Service was nice as well, everything came out in a timely manner even though the place was full. If you're in Gresham, I definitely recommend!

Great food with an interesting old-fashioned atmosphere. It is a bit more unique than others, and its menu was quite expansive with breakfast options.

Recently, I was in town for vacation and had the pleasure of dining at Heidi’s of Gresham multiple times. I enjoyed breakfast, lunch, and dinner there, and every meal was exceptional! The food is always fresh and served quickly. Breakfast was outstanding—the thick strips of bacon were cooked to perfection, and the eggs over easy were a hit. I tried their Monte Cristo sandwich, and it did not disappoint. The razor clams were incredibly fresh and flavorful. But the real standout was the fried chicken—it was the best I’ve ever had. Tender on the inside with a perfect, crunchy exterior, and not greasy at all. And you can’t leave without trying their peach cobbler, made with the most amazing in-season peaches. It’s a must-have! The staff is friendly and attentive, and the drinks from the bar are generously poured. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and visit this iconic spot. Well done, Heidi’s!

This place didn’t disappoint! Delicious food. Prime rib was excellent, and so was the cheese dip. The bread? Yum! The Cesar dressing tasted homemade. The only demerit is the lack of follow-up on soda refills. Maybe it’s not a thing in Portland, but I would’ve been happier if I didn’t have to flag someone down to get a refill.

Look at the amount of meat on this Steak Supreme! Very good.. I substituted mustard for horse radish….must try if you like Philly cheesesteak….

What a cool place! We enjoyed a delicious Sunday brunch. There was only a very small wait to be seated and our food was brought out promptly. We had the crab sandwich which was delicious along with the NW bay shrimp omelette that was also fabulous. Teresa was our server and she was attentive and kind. There were many people there but the restaurant was not loud and did not feel crowded at all. Ample parking and the cutest little gift shop with some wonderful local treasures.

If you want a great steak this is the spot! Cooked perfect first place I've really enjoyed since I moved from Texas!

It's such a cute restaurant. We popped in on a Saturday for brunch. They were fairly busy, but we were sat tight away. The service was really good. A few different people checked in on us. We ordered chocolate chip pancakes and the Swedish pancakes. The chocolate chip pancakes were so fluffy, and they were huge! The whipped cream tasted like it was made in house and was delicious. The Swedish pancakes came with a sauce over the top of them, but it was SO MUCH SAUCE. It really drowned the pancakes. This also came with bacon, and the bacon wasn't crispy. It was rather limp. The coffee was good though. They've got a pretty big menu and there's a few other things I'd like to try.

Can't believe it was 10 years ago, tomorrow, that we came to eat at Heidi's! Our waiter was very nice to us, at the end, I told him: I can't believe you guys are getting 3.5 review ratings, I'll do an update and give you 4 stars! We ordered the Pork Weinerschnitzel, red cabbage and mashed potatoes. Onion soup & vegetable soup. AND German Sausage dinner, with sauerkraut, hot German potato salad. Mustard, not in photo. Half was to-go for another meal. Also, chocolate cake & Caramel Pecan Roll, all to go. Their restroom is very clean!

The food is amazing. The service was great. The place was amazing I felt like I was in Switzerland , it was awesome. Lots of decor and they even had a gift shop with some neat stuff.

Nice clean restaurant. They even have a little gift shop inside. And display cases filled with pastries and desserts. Hubby ordered the Oriental Salad. I thought $18.25 was very high for what he got, but he said it was good. I ordered the Blueberry Lemon Pancakes. So very good, but I would have liked to have ordered a short stack. Our server, Vanessa was very friendly. But I ordered a small German Chocolate Cake to go and she never brought it to us.

we were told to give it another try. The fried chicken is so salty we couldn't eat it and gave it to homeless The chips would have been good, but they put them in a airtight container so they were kind of soggy, plus some of them were even cooked all the way through and kind of raw potato in parts. Very sloppy of the chef to serve partially cooked chips in container that would take the partially well cooked ones from crispy. Macaroni and cheese was weird tasting, not necessarily bad, and it was kind of cheesy stretchy, but neither one of us wanted to finish it. Plus, we ordered a pint and it was only just a little over 3/4 full. Potato salad was wonderful! garlic toast was a joke for five dollars! It was half of a hoagie roll, very slightly toasted, saturated with some yellow looking grease that is supposed to pass for butter I would assume, and it's sprinkled with what looks like burnt garlic. It was edible, but the worst garlic bread we ever had. Without going into specifics, we do not recommend the clam chowder. It was edible. as much as we wanted to like Heidi, almost everything we had was disappointing or in edible. If I ever get outvoted and wind up there, I will order a large potato salad and maybe try a burger. But I have a feeling that anything that has to actually have recipe ingredients in it will not be good. Once again, the fried chicken was so incredibly incredibly salty, I can't imagine anyone eating it willingly and I feel sorry for the homeless people we gave it to. We took the majority of our food to a homeless drop off site.

Great food and service to match. Ask for Zach. This place has the old time ambience we are always looking for.

I do love an old school diner. Heidi's has the character and the vibe of an old school diner. It's great. Everyone was super friendly, good came quickly, reasonable prices too. I got the German sausage omelette and added some green peppers. It needed the breen peppers for some texture and freshness but the German sausage was amazing and super flavorful. Great wurst. The hash browns were pretty average though as they were not super flavorful and a bit mushy - they just needed to be flipped and crisped up. Would definitely go back and looking forward to my leftovers!

Biscuits and gravy were kinda mid. Everything was packaged nicely and the portions are big. The loaded has is really yummy. The food was a bit undersalted, but the vegetable Benedict was cooked perfectly and the hollandaise sauce was great.

This place is so cute! The staff are nice and dressed up to match the theme. Not sure if I love or hate that for women but it was adorable. The French toast was amazing! The omelet and hash browns also good :) the homemade bread was perfect!!! I want to go back and try more baked goods.

This place was a great last minute find while we were in town visiting family. We went for breakfast on a Friday morning. Service was quick and very friendly. The interior is really cool and lots of things to look at. Coffee was great and so was our food. I splurged and got the fresh crab omelet with hashbrowns and a muffin. It was so worth it! Lots of delicious Dungeness crab. I always order hashbrowns extra crispy and usually don't have much luck with the request (so it usually saves me on some carbs). These hashbrowns were perfectly crispy and just how I like them. Hubby got the chicken fried steak with hashbrowns and a blueberry muffin. He literally cleaned his plate. If we lived in the area we'd go back. Especially for lunch and dinner options.

Traditional breakfast diner with a large menu selection. Food was a little unhealthy but good if you want a fast solid breakfast.

My 'go to" meal has always been the Wienerschnitzel. However, since changing cooks/service this item is not the same. It is chewy and the floured soft breading peels away. In the past it was breaded and crispy. Our family has had several disappointing meals lately--especially the take home.

Old school breakfast diner! Food was great and reasonably priced service. Good atmosphere is fun if you like diners, and they have a Nice gift shop also

Heidi's is obviously an icon in Gresham... It is a cute restaurant with interesting decorations. The service was really awesome. I was expecting a wider variety of German food so I had the 1/2 a chicken meal with mashed potatoes. It was good but not great. The corn bread was awesome. The German chocolate cake was OK. It was a good place to eat but I think it is geared to an older crowd.

Excellent customer service! It almost got to the point where I wanted to tell her to give us another 10 minutes before checking in on us again, but I loved the attentiveness! We ordered two dishes, I got the Swedish pancakes with huckleberry jam on it. It wasn't bad but it was much egg-ier than what I am used to. It felt more like a sweet omelette than a pancake. Vibe of the place is really cool. I always love a themed spot and Heidi's does it well! I'd be happy to bring friends and family who come into town looking for a solid spot to eat close to home

I am a huge fan of Heidi's. It is my go-to in Gresham for a tasty breakfast or lunch. I usually get a BLT, regardless of what time it is. The coffee is great. The servers are friendly. The atmosphere is cute. It's down home goodness with a Swiss Miss flair.

I've been to Heidi's for breakfast, though it's probably been 10 years. I'd never been there for dinner until last night, and I just have to say that I'm astonished at all the 4 and 5-star reviews! Where are these people usually eating that makes this seem like good food?? There were four of us, and we had the Hawaiian teriyaki burger, the French dip, the fish sandwich, and the senior version of the teriyaki chicken. Not one of us managed to choke down more than half, because it was... yucky! It just tastes ba. The French fries were decent, slightly crispy and HOT, but they were the exception. I had the teriyaki chicken burger, and it was bland and the chicken tasted weird and oily. The teriyaki sauce was on the side, and mostly tasted really salty and slightly sweet. Just yuck. The desserts were good, though! Three of us split a hot fudge cake, which was yummy, and my mother was given a tiny chocolate cake for her birthday, and she said it was quite good. I tasted the frosting, and it tasted like homemade Dutch cocoa buttercream. The service was excellent -- absolutely no complaints there. If only the overpriced, terrible food could live up to it!

Yes, BEST NACHOS in town!!! The other food ranges from great to not bad, but I haven't tried the gross dishes like liver and onions. Staff mostly very friendly & generous with the caveat they're seemingly often understaffed, especially in the lounge, which is stocked with video poker machines, a full bar with stools and multiple booths. Often there's one person working there attending to everything. So be a little patient and please tip the server/bartender/lottery attendant well. I've seen a ridiculous workload taken care of (quickly) by employees with the utmost professionalism and a smile on their face. Wait times here are still better than many places. So, on balance: totally worth going.

My favorite breakfast place for over 20 years. Fluffiest pancakes ever and the service is always good.

The theme is German... but not all the food is German. I have liked this place in the past. The food is pretty ok and i've enjoyed my time and visits in the past that's the only reason they're getting two stars. The fondue is pretty good... it's $12... most meals are near $20 and the bill for us going is often nearing $100 (for three of us)... it's not an affordable place but the meals have been decent. The place is seriously dated though. I like dives but this is just a thematic restaurant with a very worn and dated interior. Think cracks in the booth vinyl etc... but it was character to a degree. When speaking to our server once I asked about her outfit because it was so cute... and the colors were attractive. She explained to me she had to buy it herself custom made so it was a Christmas present to herself. I was astounded because it's definitely a German themed outfit that is consistent and clearly required to be worn by servers. It's a uniform and she had to pay for it? This most recent visit they kinda lost me for the future because of the customer service... I have recently had surgery and cannot eat more than about a cup of food.. I asked to see the kid's menu. I have ordered off it before because I can only eat a tiny portion now... Unequivocally the server this time said I could not even see the children's menu. I asked to speak to the manager and she said the manager wouldn't allow it me to order from it either. I said well this situation will impact whether I want to come here in the future. So I asked to speak to the manager again. She said well ok. The manager came to the table and said I heard you have a few questions... I said I have asked to see the children's menu and she said no sorry it's just for those 12 and under. I explained my medical condition and the limitation I have. Without hesitation or pause she said sorry I won't be able to show you the menu its only for 12 and under. She asked if that was all and then left. It was very clear she came to the table with an answer prepared and did not care a bit about the situation. The server came back to take orders. My parents wanted to leave right then but my dad really wanted the liver and onions and I wanted him to have it and it's not a very common option... so I made sure they ordered and when it came to my turn I ordered nothing. Literally the server said "that's perfect i will get it started for you." Customer service has typically been good here but the response this time is shocking to be honest and it will absolutely impact my decision to ever return. If I were ordering to go I could easily get a kids meal... additionally I've been able to order off it in the past... and really it's just basic customer service.... let's be logical. How much of a loss in $$ is it to have one person order (wait even LOOK at a children's menu) when the other two at the table are ordering $20 meals? Note: I have a medical card that verifies I had the surgery I had... and additionally sometimes I have ordered full meal and then take home leftovers because a regular meal is like 3 for me... but now I'm leaving town and cannot have leftovers so it would be a complete waste of food and $. It's not that I won't pay a full price meal sometimes... as I said I actually do. What rubbed me wrong is the customer service and them being completely ok without hesitation to not even consider the circumstances. If they had given some empathy and said I'm sorry we just aren't allowed to do that or even any conversation it would have been better. Customer service is so lacking now in this world and this is just another example. I'm sure this review won't matter. They're busy so they probably don't care... but I will continue to share my experience.

Tonight was Heidi's longtime anniversary of opening in 1968, so they dialed back their prices to that era. We enjoyed a Reuben sandwich for $1.95, a side of potato salad for $.55, and berry pie à la mode also $.55. We would've left the restaurant for under five dollars, except of course, we love to drink wine with our meal. And we tipped the busy waitstaff accordingly. Great food -- they served full, hearty portions despite the reduced price. I hope they won a lot of hearts and return customers tonight! Happy Anniversary, Heidi's!! (My grandparents were Swiss too!)

Excellent homemade foods, large portions, service both ordering and food was quick. Quaint decor with large gift shop. Definitely worth a visit when you're in the area. We will come back here.

A friend and I went in the other night for dinner. We both wanted chicken strips, however I wanted the whole meal and the other person in the party wanted just chicken strips. I was going to give her my salad and she just wanted a side order of two chicken strips. This request has never been an issue in the past, and every waiter and waitress has been able to work it out for us to get our meals just this way. We had a waitress the other night, however, who was awful - terrible customer service and zero ability to cater to the customer's requests. For just a side of chicken strips, she was going to charge the full $17 (the same for the full meal with fries and a salad). She said "we can't do it the other way." (Again, that is not true as multiple wait staff in the past were able to split it up like this for us). The order was wrong, the condiments were wrong (the waitress, upon realizing she forgot ketchup said, "I'll bring your ketchup" ... never did. I finally waved down a busboy and he had ketchup for us in less than 10 seconds). She checked on us but rolled her eyes when we expressed our dissatisfaction (we were never once rude) and walked off. At the front door, there's a sign that says, "If you like Heidi's, tell others. If you don't, tell us." So, we spoke to the manager on our way out. He was very unapologetic, never once offered an apology for our negative experience, never offered any money off, refund, or discount on our next visit. I have attached a picture of our meals. For $17, the chicken strips with fries was insulting. I cannot see myself returning in the future and if I do, I won't be sitting in Allie's section.

Absolutely love Heidis. They have great breakfast and all around good food here. The service is always great and they do a great job. I like that the inside is the same since I was a kid. It's kinda nostalgic

Has been the same for a very long time and it's like going back in time when I was a kid. Kinda pricey but the food is good

Heidi's is the perfect dining experience. From their home cooked dinners to their amazing staff. It's always a pleasure eating at Heidi's.... Their dishes are exceptional and their servers are so fun, friendly, and courteous. I highly recommend Heidi's for a great all round, down home dining experience.

Heidi's of Gresham is a cute place that definitely deserves a stop in. Originally I was drawn by the Dungeness Crab Benedict and after having it I was glad I did. The menu is packed with so many different and unique dishes and so much variety. It's a bit expensive, but understandably so on the more special items. We ate in the lounge and the Bartender was fantastic, definitely kudos to her really kicking butt on Xmas Eve. I do want to come back and try a few more dishes, not to mention the beautiful baked goods! Give Heidi's a chance, it's worth the splurge

Really well made breakfast. Staff seemed a little angry but the food was great and what we came for.

What HAPPENED to this place. Sub-par food, but good service. Our order was screwed up, and even when complete was bland and tasted like I need to get dentures and an AARP membership. I had the Monte Cristo, my wife a salad. Man, talk about low quality and bland. Not coming back. Geez this place has gone down hill. Cool staff, uninspired, tasteless food.

We stopped for breakfast on our way out of town. I'd never been here but my husband had eaten here in the past. We were seated & order taken. There was a number of tables full already as it appeared to be a hang out spot for friends to catch up. Food arrived & it was okay. We ate & left.

Haven't been here in years so thought we would give them a try. Dinner was a mess do to the waitress poor service. First she brought us someone's else's dinner. It had coated shrimp ours had oysters. We argued with her that those are shrimp not oysters. She didn't know the difference! You could see the tails. Then would forget to bring us utensils and creamer. When she brought the checks she put our drinks on our friends ticket and one of their meals on ours. Kept switching the tickets with us saying it's good all the while we're explaining it to her. She thought that was somehow ok and would just work it's self out. Thus the manager had to come to the table and resolve the issue. The food was mediocre at best. Desert was good. Not sure where this girls head was at but it sure wasn't at work. Will be a long time before we go back.

I congratulate the cooks here. The menu varies wildly but every meal I have had except the scrambled eggs ( must be liquid eggs, yuck) was on point. My family have been in on many occasions and ordered anything from Breakfast to Dinner and Appetizers all the same visit and all were great! The Chicken and Rice soup was really good as the Panko Cod lunch special. David has served us the last two times and is our most favorite waiter. Can't find many places like this anymore.

Service is not generally the issue. The last two times we have eaten at Heidi's, my food has been on the cold side. I had a BLT in which only one slice of the toast was toasted, I actually sent that back to be remade. Then for dinner on 10/24/23 I ordered the hot roast beef dinner with mashed potatoes & gravy, it was not hot It was barely warm. I just ate it. We have been frequenting Heidi's for years, and often take others with us. Our granddaughter calls it "our place" she loves to go have breakfast . However, lately I feel they are beginning to slip a little. We go for breakfast because (used)to have hot syrup . We miss that.

They have super delicious breakfast! I love the eggs Benedict. I highly recommend if you are in Gresham and wanting a quick bite for breakfast

Had a bit of a wait to get seated. Waitress was very friendly. Is a hit dates but a great memory from my childhood. We use to stop at their original location ok hwy 26 when coming home from Timberline as a kid for hot chocolate. Will return.

They're have 55th anniversary menu priced in 1968! I grew up with Heidi's I'm going 60 next March! Can't wait.

This place doesn't get my vote for a place to go on Valentines Day, or any other day for that fact. Our meal sucked, and they didn't care. Cold soup. The wifes onion soup. Weird soup, my mushroom soup with everything else except a few pieces of mushroom. My meal (the fish) looked good covered in a light sauce, until I noticed it was burned black and flipped over so I wouldn't notice. I informed the waitress and she said the manager would be right over. We never saw the manager. They comped the burned fish and charged me $23.00 for cold soup and the soup that was included with my dinner. If you're thinking of trying this place I recommend avoiding them. Any kitchen that hides burned food doesn't get my business.

Came here with a fellow caretaker to have breakfast and a meeting about an elderly gentlemen we both care for. Service was friendly and fast. The gal serving could see we were discussing business and the gentlemen's needs and was considerate not to inerrupt. The food was hot and delicious. It wasn't overly crowded so we were able to have a pleasant breakfast and meeting.

Originally we were headed to another restaurant down the street but were told they were closed, although their sign said they were not closed for another 40 minutes. Lucky for us, we found Heidi's (who also closed at 9pm). Welcomed with smiles and great services. Food was hot and delicious and huge portions! Excited to try schnitzel for the first time and it did not disappoint. They have a huge variety of food on the menu. Everyone in my party enjoyed their meals! They also had a cute little gift shop.

Great food since 1968. I've only been here a couple times but you get your money's worth for sure. I enjoy the decor. Im a big fan of cow bells. More Cow Bell. You get that here. The Swiss outfits the waitresses wear are awesome. There is plenty of parking. The lot is huge. Plenty of seating inside. I got the Ruben with fries this time. More food than a hungry bear can eat. I wish they had hibernation chambers here. It would be very useful. Everyone loved their items. Fresh in house made desert. Pastries. Why are still reading this review. Locate Heidi's on Google Maps and get some cheer in you.

I came in for breakfast early on Sunday morning. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was good, classic diner breakfast options. I had the chicken fried steak and added a pancake. Not super crowded this morning and a nice calm way to start the day. The gift shop is fun too. The interior was well lit, airy and clean.

This is an old school diner with decor that gave off a Pennsylvania Dutch vibe but only has a few German and Swiss dishes on the menu. I've been here twice. I really liked the cabbage rolls which are huge (one is enough). The gift shop is great too and is a good source for Postcrossing postcards. The service has been great on my two visits here.

I've been eating at Heidi's for 30 years off and on. Every time I go the food is great, service is great, and the price is pretty good. I can't think of another business in Gresham that consistently puts out a quality product like Heidi's

Thinking this was a German restaurant I came fully ready to order many German staples. I looked at the menu and was quickly disappointed. Guess I should have researched it further before driving there. Menu had a bit of everything from breakfast to Italian. That's always odd to me. ‍ We had the cheese fondue to start. Bread was dry. Cheese was plentiful but had an odd bitterness to it. My wife had the Swedish pancakes and she enjoyed them. Large portion. I had spaghetti and garlic bread. I asked for a side of sauce because it was super dry with 5,000 noodles and a spoonful of sauce. The sauce was very sweet. Like tooooo sweet. I added a lot of salt. Bread was fine. Ice Tea was great. Probably won't drive over there again to eat. Better places in town.

Five star service!!! Very good diner food with a huge variety of options. The restaurant is huge but the booths are cozy. Everything is clean and well lighted! I recommend

We went to Heidi's today. We ordered a single martini and soda. We ordered a 6oz sirloin med. Rare and prime rib med rear. We received martini and clam chowder soup and the waitress spilled up the martini on my thigh and leg. The 6 Oz sirloin was tough and could not chew it. Left half of it behind too hard to chew. We told the waitress Susan this. We assumed due to spill-of the martini on my right thigh and leg that something would have been color but we were offered a dessert. We ended up paying full price for drink and meal. We won't be going back there for 1 yr and try to find another restaurant that serves prime rib. We are disappointed in our diner!

First off I love coming into the restaurant. The food is normally on point and the service is decent, for the most part. The issue I had was with there O'Brien potatoes. O'Brien potatoes come with diced onion and usually diced green bell pepper. What I got was homestyle potatoes. Which is just fried potatoes. All I ask is that what is on the menu is what you receive.

This place feels like home when your here and the scrumptious food that seems to hit the spot in every bite you eat makes you feel warm and comfortable. The service with a smile from the restaurant manager that treat you like an old friend makes you want to get up and help him clean up after myself, the warm and friendly atmosphere makes you think about the happy times of your past with your family and friends, thank you Dennis for your wonderful hospitality.

Best place ever! The employees are very friendly and courteous. Eating in gives you get a relaxing meal just like homemade.
