My Vice Food & Spirits

My Vice was good place for a traditional hearty breakfast. We really liked what we were able to order, but their menu was limited because of some kitchen issues they were having. We will go in again to try out some other items. The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was comfortable.

Not a brunch person but whenever I’m in the mood this is the only spot I’ll go too. I love their breakfast burrito so it’s the only thing I’ll typically get. My partner is more adventurous and whenever I try what she gets it’s always great. Kind service every time. Can’t recommend enough. (Pictured below is the smothered burrito and the elote succotash)

A small, neighborhood restaurant with an absolutely delicious breakfast service. We got a Moroccan coffee, a coco moon, a smothered burrito with short rib, and the Louisiana hash. Everything was lovely, excellent flavors, and a relaxed, family friendly environment. Highly recommend.

Disappointed we didn't know about them sooner. Delicious food, short wait for a table, fast friendly service, great portion options, decent pricing. Homemade hot sauce was fantastic and the Homage was perfect in every way. Small parking lot but we found street parking pretty easily. Definitely worth a stop.

Love the decorations! Service is a little slow and there's limited seating. ❤️Louisiana hash ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - liked the mix of ingredients, the sweet, spicy and savory - like it the most with the biscuit because it comes with jam - surprisingly liked the sausage The homage ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ - beef shoulder was really soft - liked the sauce - this needed hot sauce - like the arugula - prefer with sour dough bread

I would definitely come back for the brunch food and drinks! I’ve driven by this spot many times before and didn’t realize what I was missing. We came on a weekday, street parking was easy, we were warmly greeted, and sat at the bar. The drinks were carefully crafted with quality ingredients, and so was the food. I struggled to decide between a few items that all sounded great. Eventually we ordered breakfast sandwiches with sausage. The house made sausage patty had a unique flavor and excellent texture. Loved the combination of toppings on the sandwich; more places really need to throw pickles on their breakfast sandos. The biscuit was a little on the dry side, even for a biscuit, so next time I would try it with the English muffin. Homemade hot sauce is great, ask for it with your meal! For drinks, I recommend their lemonade and prickly pear limeade too. Really cute, cozy atmosphere with all the art and wood textures.

From our group, we ordered Squash Benedict (seasonal) - yum. Winter Hash - they were nice enough to make it dairy free. Sweet and Savory - delicious. Breakfast Sando - nice. AND... Bloody Mary's - yes. There was a bit of a wait for our group of 5, but we just chatted and time flew. Small place, great food, good service! We will definitely be back.

So good!! I was expecting just a slightly fancy eggs benedict but they brought out a plate of art!! So good, I would bring out of town friends here to wow them 😊

The food was amazing, fresh. Our server went above and beyond with the recommendations and gave us some kombucha to try. The ambience is really cool and cozy!

We've been here a few times now. They have their own parking lot but can only fit maybe 5-6 cars. We found street parking close to the restaurant. Sunday at 11am, the hostess took down our names and we waited maybe 15-20 min for a party of 2. We were seated inside. It was a bit noisy and it was difficult to hear ourselves. Also, once we left, our clothes and hair smelled like fried food. We got vegetarian meals - the Louisiana hash (with soyrizo), veggie dumpling and lemon ricotta french toast. Our favorite was the veggie dumpling. Our server was friendly but we definitely had to seek her out to get service.

I never got to taste the food. I arrived one Saturday, at a full restaurant, over an hour before the posted closing, to hear "we just changed the hours, we posted it to Google yesterday!" I wish that post had actually happened, because then I wouldn't have wasted a trip over there on the bus!

Decided to try this as we walked by and was so pleasantly surprised. Friendly service, outdoor seating with dogs allowed, and such flavor and freshness to the food! I ordered the Louisiana Hash and my boyfriend got the Cowboy Dan. We basically licked up the plates. This is a must visit in Portland.

Absolutely delicious brunch food. Our favs were the Breakfast Dumplings and the Maple Pecan Fresh Toast. Service was great! Would love to come back again.

Loved the vibe and enjoyed some really tasty food. Service was patient and friendly and we ordered a whole maple-bourbon French toast (yum!) that my SIL and I split and the Nest for my Daughter. Ordered an Eric's Snack which was really tasty too! Would love to come back and try more, hope i get a chance the next time I'm in the PNW.

Sooo good I love coming here it never disappoints! Their food is good not matter what you get! It's a cute and cozy feel inside and the servers are always so nice and friendly. Definitely a neighborhood gem

Forgot what I ordered but it was a seasonal benedict Tasty af, nice servers, everything on the plate was good, as were the drinks

This is our go to place for breakfast! Nice menu options that are all delicious and you can even grab a morning cocktail if that's your thing. Bonus is they serve Extracto coffee and they even have their decaf!! Throw in a lovely waitstaff, tremendous service and you've got yourself a great place to start your day!

trying to find a last-minute reservation on Mother's Day if you've tried, it can very difficult. My Vice was able to squeeze us in on top of an extremely busy day. My wife's new favorite place in Portland to have breakfast. Food & service was excellent.

Such a darling spot filled with charm and coziness. Has a little parking lot which makes it super convenient. The bloody was flavorful and spicy, served with a crunchy pickle spear. I love a good breakfast sando and this hit all the right buttons. Soft, buttery brioche and sharp white cheddar doused eggs and bacon add the salty goodness alongside the strawberry sweetness of the jam. It was nice that they allow substitutions for their house salad. Moderation, right? Creamy goat cheese, pickled onions and a light vinaigrette was the perfect accompaniment. Service was good and they were super sweet. Will definitely return!

Solid somewhat unassuming breakfast/brunch spot that I randomly dropped by with a friend to try! This place is great for a mix of meat and vegetarian options and had a handful of vegan options sprinkled in as well. We went on a random weekday around brunch so didn't need to contend with a crowd, woohoo! Also upside is that they have a little parking lot for their business so that was a great perk. It is a lil petite though so probably fills up during busier hours. We were both feeling pretty savory so my friend got The Nest (potato cake topped with all the goods) and I went with the Cowboy Dan (corn chips topped with soyrizo instead of chicken -- aka I had nachos for lunch but it was delicious. We also split a soyrizo breakfast dumpling. Food wise everything was good minus the dumpling which I honestly did not enjoy too much? Something about the taste was just a taaad bit off so I wasn't the biggest fan. We both enjoyed our food and were curious about drinks but opted to grab some other treats after so skipped those. Overall, the interior is quirky, service was friendly, and the food was solid. Swing by if you're having a hankering for breakfast/brunch goods and have a mixed group of dietary needs.

Sometimes, when you are having a bad day, all you really need is a couple of mimosas and some light flaky biscuits slathered in butter and jam to make everything better. This place gets BUSY on the weekends. I'd say it's worth the wait. I live about a mile away, so we rode over, checked in with the host, found out it would be about 45 min, so we did a couple of errands and came back and got our spot. Food is hearty, tasty and creative. Very satisfying. The folks working here are always friendly. There are many interesting things on the wall to purchase. Oh, if you come midweek, sometime after 1pm you'll walk right in and get a table and it's very quiet, if you are looking for a less raucous experience.

Great breakfast/brunch spot. Very small parking lot, so be prepared when busy. The Bloody Mary was the one thing that was lackluster. The flavor was okay, but it only came with a dill spear placed across the glass. I was hoping for a better bloody. The food was great. The dumpling was one of the best breakfast items I've had. Eric's snack was decent. It would've been better with verde. We felt a bit rushed to leave, but it's a small restaurant.

Diamond in the rough. Who would think this scrappy little place has amazing food? Great service too! Loved the shrimp and grits!

A hidden gem! This place checks all the boxes, making it an awesome brunch spot. The interior is cozy & warm. The walls have beautiful local artwork for sale. They have a full bar. Great service and most importantly GREAT food. Definitely adding this place to my rotation of brunch spots.

Tasty food and really awesome service. My only suggestion would be to tone down the HEAVY curry powder in the tofu scramble- it was pretty overpowering.

Omg. Really you should run not walk. Find this place. Bring some friends. That way you can order a couple of the dishes and share tastes. Mine was the shrimp with cheesy grits that came with a poached egg. I will order that again because it was perfection. (There's only one other place in Oregon that does shrimp & cheesy grits better than this place... But it's in Eugene). my friends ordered the cowboy Dan which was like breakfast nachos with amazing beef and a cilantro sauce to die for and the "All I Need" which came with two eggs and a delicious potato pancake/cake and House made pork sausage. my friend ordered the prickly pear mimosa which was delicious, and I wasn't angling for a coffee drink I would've ordered that. But I had the Mocktail version of Coco Moon which involves cinnamon simple syrup, coconut milk and cold brew. I decided to pass on the simple syrup and just have a lot of cinnamon. It was a good modification for me. Service was outstanding. And food came very quickly. I love the interior decor. Look up at the ceilings, there's a fantastic chandelier that was dripping with spiderwebs since it was just past Halloween.

Went here for my brothers birthday brunch. We were told a 40 min wait time so we went to grab coffee while we waited. When we got back it was another 20 min wait. We were okay with the wait time due to it being so busy but when our table was finally ready we were told that we couldn't have outside drinks as we were sitting down. A waitress with curly hair and glasses then came by and grabbed our coffees without warning and threw them out. It was very abrupt and very rude. The food was also very expensive and not worth the price. I would not recommend eating here. I felt more like I was in a 6th grade classroom than a restaurant with this service. I understand it is busy and y'all are stressed but this one employee is who we had a problem with and you did not inform us not to bring our drinks in until we were already sitting down. I would appreciate you asking before you snatch our items from in front of us. It was inappropriate and childish.

What an excellent place for brunch! I had read reviews online about My Vice as a great place for brunch - and these reviews weren't wrong. The outside of the establishment doesn't look like anything special, but the food and service were awesome. It's a smaller place, but clean and cozy. I ordered an Eggs Benedict that was perfectly prepared. Meal portions are large and we found ourselves taking home leftovers. I definitely recommend this place and look forward to returning in the future.

The food and service were outstanding. We ended up getting a few plates so we could try multiple items! They have a great small indoor space and a covered patio. They also have a small parking lot so you don't have to park in the neighborhood!

The ventilation and smell of the restaurant is unpleasant, full stop. After spending $60 for breakfast for two, I shouldn't walk away with a headache. The food wasn't hot when it came out. And upon arrival the waitstaff needed to painstakingly explain the entire table needed to be present to seat us--rather than the sugar sweet annoying explanation, put up a sign. I highly do not recommend this business.

What was once my favorite eatery in Portland has slipped down on my list. In the last year I have showed up a couple times during hours they advertise as being open but they were closed due to being short staffed (long trek for me coming from Hillsboro). And the last time I was in there (couple of weeks ago), the service was not good.... We waited a while for our food and when we finally got it, the fried egg on top of my dish was super cold..... And the waitress never checked on us. Not as enthused to return to this place like I had in the first year I found it.... Just because I don't know if they'll be open or if I'll get cold food again. I still love the flavors and dishes at Vice... But have to take away a star.

My second trip to My Vice. Things that excite me about restaurants: simple ingredients prepared well, tasty food, friendly service and the thread that ties them all together- consistency. Consistency elevates a good restaurant to a great restaurant. Well My Vice has all of this! I ordered the Cowboy Dan with a duck egg, again. If anything, it was better than last time. And once again the egg was cooked perfect. The service was friendly and attentive. I definitely recommend adding this to your short list of "go to" restaurants.

Loved the creativity of the menu and food. Everything on the menu looks amazing so it's kind of hard to choose! We had the Benedict special with shrimp and steak - amazing. Also tried The Bustamante which is like a fish and grits dish. The fish was just a touch fishy-tasting but flaky and well seasoned with the blackened spices. I wasn't asked what kind of egg I wanted with it, and it wound up being served with an over-hard egg. I think it would've been much better with a poached egg with oozy yolk. Nevertheless, I would absolutely return to grab lunch or brunch in the future. Such a quaint, cozy & unique brunch spot.

Very chill, low key, cosy spot for excellent brunch and cocktails. Parking, too! What more could you ask for? We will be back.

Super cute spot with cool art for sale on the walls. There's a covered outdoor patio and a parking area. Staff was really friendly! Food and coffee were delicious. I ordered the "all I need" with the sausage patty and a biscuit subbed in lieu of toast, & black coffee. The biscuit was wonderful - crisp outside, fluffy inside and easy to pull apart (I'm not a biscuit fan typically) and came with butter and jam. The eggs were cooked right, the sausage was tasty, the salad was dressed and simple, but also flavorful and the potatoes were seasoned and crispy and fluffy. Their house hot sauce was a little chunky but tasty, too. Will definitely be back to try some other items. I think I arrived at 10:30am and was seated immediately...but they definitely fill up by noon.

I've been coming here for about 3 years and the ladies that work here are always so sweet and attentive. Everytime I come in they greet me with such kindness!! And the food is so good also . I always recommend to all my friends

Very tasty place for brunch. I love hashes for breakfast and do not see them often enough on brunch/breakfast menus. Was but wary of the Louisiana Hash as I'm not big on spice - got it with regular sausage rather than chorizo - and it was sooooo tasty. The creole remoulade was so flavorful, and the veggies were cooked perfect. They accidentally gave me toast when I had opted for the biscuit (forgot to take photo) but brought the latter out quickly - initially I was thinking, oh I don't reallly need the biscuit - the bread is also really tasty. But so glad i also got the biscuit - really well made, perfect crispy bits on the edges/corners and fluffy and flaky inside. Only criticism I would have - coffee was so-so, and yolk was bit over-cooked (not runny at all, but also not light yellow/hard-boiled yet). Nonetheless would def return again some time.

Great food, great coffee, nice comfortable indoor dining. There is also outdoor seating, should one desire. Portions are small, but food is of high quality. Also there is some parking, which is essential at this location.

Great spot for inexpensive happy hour. We ended up sitting outside on the patio which was heated. Drinks and food were great. Portions were small but we did go for happy hour! Our waiter was super friendly and had a lot of recommendations! Dog friendly as well!

Host girl was exceptional. Our cocktails were very nice. My food was very strange. I got The Homage hash with veggies and slow cooked beef and it was weird as hell in both concept and flavor. Corn? And there was some sugar somewhere in there? Very different. I'd have given Vice four stars if our server, who was actually training someone at the time, hadn't taken our order, dropped off our food, then completely and entirely abandoned us for the remainder of our visit. I had to flag her down to pay. We sat there for a looonnngg time without cocktails or coffee. Less money for you, Vice.

MOLD. We found mold in our fruit bowl and got spoken to rudely after we asked for the dish to be comped. Extremely rude and unprofessional& gross health code violation

I'm so glad I finally knocked my Vice off my to do list! We loved it and will definitely come back. We got A Happy Death, the Salmon Stack and the Smothered Burrito. We loved the braise beef on the happy death. The salmon stack was all right. I wish we would have ordered Cowboy Dan or the Louisiana Hash but I guess we'll have to do that next time! We also got the Bloody Mary and I loved the Spanish Coffee!

Great selection on the menu, especially if you're looking for vegetarian friendly entrees! They've got cocktails and they'll kindly make them into a mocktail for you if requested. More I'd want to try so I'll definitely be back!

I've driven by this place so many times and had no idea it was here. But, I was looking for something new, that has veggie options and is pup friendly. This place popped up on my gps. I have to say.... Wow!!!! The server was incredible, personable and on it. I had water, coffee and table set up within the first minute. The breakfast burrito is the bomb!!! I've lived in New Mexico so I have had quite an assortment of breakfast burritos... this was top notch. There is a pup friendly outdoor patio (sorry no heaters) but it was one of those oddly warm days for Portland spring (lol- wait 5 mins and it will be winter again) so the patio was great. Nothing but stars for this place. Next time your other spot is busy come here... (my vice food)doesn't get nearly enough business for how epic it is :) good job

Cute little spot for brunch. I ordered the hot toddy, Louisiana hash, and French toast bread pudding. The food was pretty good for the most part. The biscuit was delicious. Very crispy and crunchy. The French toast bread pudding got soggy real quick with the whipped cream on top. One major downside with this place would be the wait time for the food to arrive. It almost took close to an hour, so be prepared to wait.

Unbelievably good and unique brunch offerings, friendly staff, great local art on the walls.

An absolutely wonderful brunch! I had been wanting to try this spot for a while but on the weekends, they seem so packed! Which makes sense because the food is good and the place is small. I luckily had a Tuesday off and went in around 2pm. I was able to get seated right away. We ordered some drinks to start, I got a margarita and my boyfriend got a bloody mary. My drink was great but after a couple sips of my boyfriend's, I knew I made a mistake. This was one of the best bloody mary's I have EVER tasted! For brunch we ordered The Cowboy Dan, The Bustamante, a side of bacon and a side breakfast dumpling with sausage. I had expected The Cowboy Dan to be like nachos but it reminded me more of chilaquiles. You definitely need a fork to eat it but it was out of this world delicious! The chicken tinga was so flavorful and they really pile on the toppings. The Bustamante was not our favorite and we'd probably pass on it next time. The rockfish was really good but there was way too much sauce on top of not enough cheese grits. We honestly could barely even taste the cheese grits. Breakfast dumpling was really good and I loved that they offered it as a side item. I wanted to try it but didn't want the full order. Definitely recommend! All around great place. There's honestly so many things on the menu that looked good. I can't wait to go back and try more!

First things first: Parking 3/10 Service 10/10 Food Quality 10/10 Atmosphere 10/10 Bathrooms 6/10 Cleanliness 10/10 If you have not eaten here then you should do so immediately. The food may seem run of the mill based off menu descriptions, but I assure you it's not. The Louisiana Hash is fantastic, Cowboy Dan is fantastic, Smothered Burrito is delicious, coffee cake is awesome, prickly pear lemonade is refreshing, the Erick stack is heavenly, and the coffee is hot and flavorful. Service is impeccable and a rare experience these days. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Limited parking and an odd bathroom at the back of the kitchen, just say hello as you walk through the smiles.

We went right at the opening time and there was no wait but soon after there was a breakfast rush so come early for a good table. Service was great. Coffee was really good with endless topping off. I opted for the breakfast dumplings and my partner got the wet burrito. The food here tastes like real homemade cooking. I don't think the dishes here would be something I would crave but I don't feel like I have overindulged after eating, which is great. The dumplings are kind of like hand pies-puff pastry filled with veggies,egg and protein of your choice. They come two for an order and it was a good portion size. I opted for soyrizo but the dish as a whole was quite bland and flavorless. This dish came with a side salad topped with cheese crumbles and pumpkin seeds. The salsa it came with was too spicy for me so I appreciate it being on the side. My partner's wet burrito was good, the sauce was bland though. The decorations were very nice and I love the unique art on the walls. I think this place is well known for cocktails so I'll have to try that next time. They had specials of the day which included a scramble, special eggs bene and a chai hot toddy. They have a good sized private parking lot.

Best Eggs Benedict I've had in my life. However, a VERY long wait - took about an hour to get our food. Nonetheless it was worth it. The Benny had braised beef and kale and several spices, and the eggs were poached to perfection. It came with a very fresh salad and a few roasted potatoes. We also had the Louisiana Hash and Bread Pudding. Again, eggs were fantastic, and good chorizo. The bread pudding was also excellent, served with baked apples in a cast iron skillet. I had the decaf coffee which was very good, and a mimosa which tasted very good as well. I hope they get more staff to keep the wait times lower. Would go back at a less busy time.

This place is great. I was there the visit when that Alex M reviewed He was incredibly rude while he typed his review and loudly bragged. Demanding all your food get comped and initiating a conflict like a Karen made everyone around feel lots of second hand embarrassment. The food her is great and the staff work hard.

There was a bit of a wait to get a table for Saturday brunch but it was worth it. Service was really on point and friendly. Our greyhound was offered a bowl of water in addition to the standard water for humans. The brunch cocktails looked good but most included caffeine (alas caffeine and I no longer mix). Still, the French 39 was a no-caff winner. The chilaquiles were fabulous and I know my chilaquiles. I also tried the biscuit which was a $1 side. Seriously, $1? Anyway, chilaquiles and biscuits together aren't a thing but I really love biscuits and I was glad I got one.

We are staying down the street and decided to try this cute little place. They currently have indoor and outdoor dining, which is great as they only have 6 tables inside. We got their for brunch, and I'm honestly debating on going back for dinner this week. We tried their special for the day - kimchi hash and The Nest. The hash was incredibly flavorful and had a ton of veggies so it didn't feel heavy by any means - zucchini, potato, onion, asparagus. Yum! It also came with sausage and a poached egg with micro greens and toast. The kimchi didn't overpower anything else which was great. Highly recommend if they have it. The nest is a potato pancake, bacon and arugula salad with 2 poached eggs. I ended up getting their house made biscuit with it. Yum!!!! The only thing I wish is that the potato pancake was a bit crispier. Not sure if it's because it was buried under the arugula, but otherwise the flavor was incredible. Highly recommend if you're in the area. Wait time wasn't super long either even with them being full at arrival.

Parking in SE Portland is rare. Intimate, retro, collectic vibe with local artist work for sale on the walls. Well stocked bar for morning cocktails or evening drinks. My man substituted avocado for eggs on his Louisiana Hash. He said, "I liked all of it and a big avocado!" My Green giant had pepper bacon cooked to the perfect crisp. Friendly service and food was fast! We are excited to come back to try the menu again. However, we loved our selection so much, it will be hard to try something else! Def 5 stars all around!!

The food, drinks, and service were phenomenal! The bartender gave me excellent advice on food, the Woodrow was so good I scarfed it down before even thinking about taking a picture. And the French 39 was the perfect way for me to celebrate finishing my last day of a job I'd been dreaming about leaving for years. I'm so happy I finally tried My Vice, I'll definitely be back!

Great food, love the shrimp and grits! Really good service very friendly and professional

A very enjoyable visit, we both had the brunch special...Black and blue Benedict with a side salad. We both enjoyed our meals and we both want to return to try something new. I would poach the eggs for another 20-30 seconds but EVERYTHING else was perfectly made and the staff though busy were attentive.
