This nostalgic, old-school diner boasts cozy booth seating and brick walls, serving up hearty comfort food and a lively bar vibe in a friendly setting.
"My Fathers Place is the city’s classic dive bar breakfast experience. The long-standing Central Eastside staple is beloved, whether you’re nursing a hangover or fueling up for a midday hike—Bloody Marys and video poker optional. Grab a brown vinyl booth, let your eyes adjust to the Tiffany lamp glow, and soak in vestiges of Old Portland, preferably with an appropriately hearty plate. If it comes smothered in gravy, all the better, like the chunky corned beef hash or chicken fried steak, and opt for the potatoes o’brien (hash browns with peppers and onions) as a side. My Father’s Place serves breakfast all day and into the night, so even if you’re a late riser you can get your steak and eggs fix." - krista garcia

"A budget-friendly diner and dive bar in Portland, frequented by artists and lifelong residents. Known for its extensive menu with hundreds of options under $20, including pork chop dinners, top sirloins, and liver and onions. The venue features pool tables, pinball machines, and a jukebox, creating a dynamic atmosphere from morning to night. Breakfast is available throughout the day with classic diner fare. Popular among chefs and musicians for its hours and price point." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"Half dive bar, half diner, My Father’s Place serves its menu of corned beef hash, ham steak and eggs, and pancake breakfast sandwiches from 7 a.m. to 2:30 a.m. every day. The vibe in the daylight is starkly different from its evening look, dimming the lights as musicians and chefs pop in for after-work Flaming Dr. Peppers. The more lunch-esque menu also retains countless nostalgic hits, including open-faced turkey sandwiches and patty melts." - Eater Staff
"My Father’s Place lives somewhere between a dive bar and a greasy diner, which is exactly what one needs after a night of drinking. From 10 p.m. to midnight Monday through Friday, the bar offers alcohol-soaking staples like a crispy beef and bean burrito for $4, spiced chicken sliders with fries for $5, and a stuffed baked potato for $3. For anyone looking to keep the party going, all whiskey (save well) is $1 off, while draft beers are $3 and PBR is a $1.50." - Alex Frane
