Shari's Cafe and Pies

Nice spot for early breakfast on day off. Their food is always fresh and delicious. Service is friendly. The vibe of classic American old fashioned diner. Oh, and BTW they have free slice of pie on Wednesdays if you order food. Was a nice surprise.

I would leave no stars. The food was so nasty you couldn't eat it. The bacon in the breakfast burrito was mostly fat. The lemon chicken was like eating a salt block with a lemon twist. The rice was plain. I wanted fries and she didn't understand my request so my son ended up with them. Truly skip this place if you value your life. My son breakfast burrito gave him food poison. I would leave negative if I could.

It's usually a great spot with fast service! Lots of confusion and a shift change make the wait time over an hour for appetizers..it's coming now tho it looks great :) unlucky we got a new cook.. but it's edible and I'm starving so yeah. Basically half of our order was wrong after all the waiting..

The hot chocolate tasted horrible! Mostly watered down chocolate. Gross! Pancakes weren’t that good either.

The food was soooo good, I got the tomato and Avocado eggs Benedict and the sauce was so lemony, best I've ever had. Loaded hash browns are the tastiest invention ever. There has to be some way to update the inside decor to reflect the foods quality and the staffs personality, because the wait staff was also great, very friendly. I will return. But I felt like I was at my great grandparents favorite hang.

We had a quiet lunch visit, virtually no other customers that we saw. Our waitress was wonderful (and patient when we needed) and we appreciated her! My biscuits and gravy were nearly room-temp but my companion's eggs Benedict were perfect. They're very accommodating of mobility issues and I noticed what I call a wheelchair table, if that's a concern. If you're temperature sensitive, note that during our visit it was 79*F inside. Kudos to staff who deal with it!

I ordered their Club Sandwich through Doordash. Upon arrival, and after I had begun eating, I noticed that the bread had mold on it. I contacted the store manager, who brushed it off as if I was lying. This was even after I let him know that I took photos to prove it. Awful experience, and absolutely would not eat there again.

to start with, the place has a very strong musty smell, second for prices 15 plus. the iguiene in the bathrooms is horrible disgusting. the waiting time between the normal, the chairs the horrible the owner only wants profit. truth?

I always check yelp when I'm on the road and eating at new places. Reviews were mediocre but some locals said to check out Shari's. Food actually turned out to be fantastic. Would definitely stop by again!

The air conditioning has been broken for three years,I visited the Shari on Garden Home road to pick up a pie and it was close to 90 definitely in the restaurant. I would never e able to eat there, I really feel badly for the staff. The owners should be ashamed of themselves!!!!! No one should go there to eat and no one should work there. There is a lot that needs to be fixed in the restaurant it is so run down.

Came here at 6:30 for dinner. The restaurant was almost empty! Interior was reminiscent of the 1990s, or the Midwest - you choose. Got a booth and had a friendly waitress. Ordered lots of food, all of which was pretty good including the fries and a variety of pies. Service was suuuuper slow, despite a neatly empty restaurant. Prices were average. All in all, the experience was ok but I wouldn't feel compelled to return.

Worst customer service! Walked in at 9:10 for some pie shakes & as soon as we walked in the worker in a very rude tone told us the kitchen was down bc they close at 10... I said we only want shakes, she proceeded to be rude again & say we only have a select few. Don't work in customer service if you're going to be rude & hate your job

My neighborhood Shari's is a GREAT breakfast option - and Wednesday's you get free pie per person. We had a very attentive server and we were impressed because it seemed like she was the only person working. She was very professional and pleasant. The food was delicious, fairly priced and the coffee was tasty too. I recommend the brioche French toast breakfast with eggs, bacon and hash browns - I split the hash browns with one of my kids.

We've lived down the street from here for 9 years. I expected it wasn't very good, but my parents wanted to go. Food was cold, forgotten ingredients that were listed on the description. Very slow service. Waitress never checked in on us to see how things were.

The food was good, and the server was absolutely fabulous, but we almost left before we were seated, because the odor of the bathrooms is what hits you the moment you walk in the door. I walked the bathroom to view, and the tile on the floor is gross, with compacted crud in the grout. Someone needs to do some serious DEEP CLEANING.

To bad the upkeep of bathrooms, upholstery, and carpet are not done. Worn and tears in seats looks horrible. Carpet looks like it needs to be replaced, urinal in men's room has been out of service for a while. What a disappointment. This used to be a place that I enjoyed.

This restaurant in King City used to be our place to go. Not any more. I ordered online, and had the food delivered. They had forgotten our two sides of fruit, there was no avocado on my greasy spring omelet, and my husband's so called bbq ribs were so bad we had to throw them out. I will never again order food from Sharis.

The best sausage ever!! And the server was extra curteous..I did not know the names of their breakfast menu, but she was soooo helpful! Our food was ready quickly..hot at the house. This will be our new breakfast hangout! Thanks again...our server..."T" deserves not only a raise in I am, but all other staff should job shadow her!!

sharis was always a go to place on the way home from PDX. we went to the one on airport way 1st. there was ONE SERVER!! we then went to the one in Troutdale. 2 servers and 1 cook. One of the forks was dirty. The food was awful. The server appeared to have an attitude. As we were leaving I dropped my credit card. I was shocked at the filth on the carpet. it looked like the place hadn't been vacuumed in a month. What happened Shari's?? Enter and eat at your own risk!!!!

This place is filthy. If I realized that I would have left sooner. Service was good, food mediocre. Here's a picture of the carpet around the booth.

Worst experience of my entire life. The waiter was argumentative about a misunderstanding about what I ordered. Then he called me an a****** and wanted to fight me! I'm 68 years old for God's sake and this guy in his mid-thirties wanted to fight instead of getting my order right. This is the third incident that I've had at this location. The first was when I reserved a pie for Christmas and when I got there they didn't have any, the second was when I walked in and sat at my table for 20 minutes watching someone eat at the counter when I realized it was the waitress, And the third happened just 2 days ago where the waiter had a temper tantrum freaked out and wanted to fight me over a mistake in ordering. Get it together Shari's! People don't come to your restaurants to get threatened!! I would avoid the Sherry's location at Northeast 122nd at all costs!

God-bless the staff that's working on Christmas Day. Many places were closed during the actual day of christmas. This place was open. Our waitress I'm sorry I didn't get her name. Was extra nice and cheerful on christmas season despite the fact that she was working today. She was attentive to us checking on us us frequently but not over the top. I ordered the eggs Benedict It wasn't as I hoped. The staff itself made my visit here a lot more enjoyable. You can count on cherry's pink open almost every single day of the year the period we are grateful for you working today

I hadn't eaten here in years and now I remember why. I had a craving for loaded baked potato soup. I paid for a bowl ($7), but received less than a cup. I also ordered the cheese biscuits. All of the food was excessively salty.

This is by far the best Shari's I've ever eaten at. The service was wonderful. Our waiter Dan was a straight up loc'd out pimp. The food was honestly REALLY good. Above and beyond what I have come to expect from a typical Shari's experience. 10/10

This was the first time my boyfriend and I ate here and will be the very last. Food was steamed to a absolutely soggy mess. We both ordered bacon egg dishes, they were both completely without bacon and the eggs were disgusting. Pancakes tasted super artificial, along with their cheddar biscuits. Had high hopes.

We were visiting from out of town and arrived at Shari's on SW Garden at midnight. It was empty but for one other customer so the waitress and the cook were taking a quick smoke break. No big deal. My open face hot turkey sandwich with mash and gravy was delicious - Thanksgiving just a little bit early All our food came out pretty quick and hot, just what we needed after a long flight. We took some slices of pie for the road and had them later - we've never had marionberry pie, so so good!

This place needs a deep cleaning. I don't know what happened to the bathrooms but the floors were sticky and the smell in both bathrooms was unreal. I don't know if the septic had problems but the restaurant should have just shut them down or at least mentioned something. My friend and I got sick later that day after eating there. My pancakes were cooked in bacon fat which I wasn't expecting. The rest of the food was good. It was Just a very strange experience.

The food was ok, the staff needs improvement. I ordered a lighter fare breakfast, that per the online menu comes with your choice of french toast, pancakes, or hashbrowns and toast. The meal came with only the toast. When I called the first lady told me it only come with one choice, and the menu had changed. So then I checked online again and it clearly says "hashbrowns and toast," The second lady said, well I will let corporate know to change it. Really, what about the customer?? Geez, this pandemic is really showing the caliber of people they are hiring, that don't even have common sense customer service skills. I did not want anything, except maybe "I really apologize for the confusion, what can we do to make it right" my answer to that question would have been "its ok but you should honor what the online menu says until you get the issue fixed" Management if you read this, please talk to your staff and ediucate them.

American comfort food. It's affordable but I always feel bogged down when I leave. But the pies are wonderful and the service is always good. I will go back just to torture my intestines, lol.

Amazing breakfast! The waitress was so sweet and made everything a lot easier for us. Great service. The food was delicious and they had so many different pies in their case! Best food and quality was amazing! Will definitely come back for more! (Try their pie shakes - so good!)

Willie June was our waiter. He was so full of personality and made our night better. Willie June deserves a raise. He took care of us and made sure we didnt go without anything!

I return to Shari's purely for the nolstagic experience of reliving my high school days with friends and midnight Sheri's runs. Apart from that, Sheri's is not so great. I went back the other night for the first time in years, and the food is just as I remember...flat, uninspiring, and sad. Unfortunately, I also found more disappointments in this most recent trip. In Sheri's attempt to reinvent its menu, it furthers itself from good dining. Many portions of the Sheri's menu attempts to take on an Italian theme. Having lived in Italy for a couple years, I admit I have become more picky with Italian-American cuisine. My friends, Sheri's should have never attempted to add Italian to their mix. I ordered an 'Italian' style sandwich, and received an over salted handful of bread and one-note flavored meat. Italian cuisine is known for its freshness, balance and simplicity of flavors. Enough said, this is a fail for Sheri's. I was also disappointed in their 'World' acclaimed pie shakes. Mine was gritty and runny, and all for the pride of $5. The straws they give you for the shakes are too fat, so that also makes the shake feel to liquidy. Overall, poor decision making at Sheri's restaurant. In a positive note, the service is really nice!

This place was recommended to us by our car rental agent. We felt the warmth of this family atmosphere by Willie June. He is the reason why we went back two more times during our visit to Portland. The stuffed hash browns is a MUST. It's a plus if you go on FREE pie Wednesday's after 4pm. And the pies are fabulous!! Key lime is they're popular pie but each one we tried was great: cherry pie warmed up, cheesecake and my daughter had something that was kind of like a chocolate mousse type with a Hershey chocolate bar on it. GREAT!!

pretty good for a diner. nice staff. always down for a late night pancake and milk shake.

Willie June. The best this about this location! So nice and friendly. So welcoming ! His customer service is the best. The food here at this location isn't bad but Willie June is what we came for. Thanks for everything !

We love coming to Sheris especially this location because the food is always delicious and beautiful and the waitress we always have on Tuesday nights Elisha is so wonderful and sweet and always has smile for you and treats you like family. I love that they have gotten new menus and do takeout as an option and that Wednesday is free pie night and Tuesday is kids eat free! No better place than Sharis!

Late night, find the motel and stumble across the parking lot for the best plate of mashed potato we've tasted in years ! Seriously !Follow that with a scrumptious slice of pie, some nice staff and it's hard to leave. Five stars for the pie alone - the spuds are off the scale. Will be back !!

Worst service ever! Waitresses take their sweet time getting to customers. They just hang out in the kitchen on their phones while customers wait for them to be noticed and helped.

This is the best place for food, after 2am AND witching 100 yards from my apartment. It's a three star restaurant with 7 stars on convenience that averages to 4.1 when you account for the cost of the meal and a questionable item every now and again but I rounded it up to 5 stars bc I'm drunk, optimistic, in good company and bc I should allow for a little standard deviation given my run on sentences.

Perfect place for desserts but it's not perfect for Dinner. Prime Rib ordered and husband asked for medium and it was served well done... very tough. The Marionberry pie was delicious! Highly recommend it. Menu was sticky and service was slow... very slow. Come here for desserts only.

Breakfast was delicious and our service was excellent. Willie June is hospitality industry gold standard. His service, attitude and zest made our day.

Unfortunately ever since Jackie has left this restaurant has gone down hill. The days where it's 24 hours is filled with tweakers and servers literally talking about drugs to customers. I will not be back.

How bad can it get. Waited 20 minutes to get our order. Then another twenty to find out they did not have half of what we ordered. Gave up walked out. Food is never above average at this location but to wait that long and get nothing. Manager could care less. No apologies nothing as we walked out.

We always try to find this restaurant when ever we go on a trip. Love their stuffed hash brown and the entire breakfast and pied assortment. 24 hours too.

Friendly, inviting environment with an attentive staff, Shari's on Garden Home Road is the diner perfect for the whole family! I ordered their salmon hash and my partner got their strawberry pancake cannolis. Those fluffy cannolis had the perfect balance between savory butteriness and sweet fruity goodness. The manager came over to us personally to ask how we were doing. She was so nice! Go to Shari's for a warm, friendly meal and to meet nice people

Just don't. Fish was obviously NOT cooked thoroughly -- despite the insistence of the cook to the contrary. Salad was rubbery, and the mashed potatoes were crusty. Hope I won't get sick. The extra star was for the pie (which was awesome, BTW).

I ordered on DoorDash around 11PM (granted, I know the people there are probably tired and want to go home). Regardless, I suspiciously received my food very quickly. I ordered the country fried steak which comes with hashbrowns, eggs, biscuits, and gravy. I immediately knew everything was overcooked and could not eat my meal. I called, and was told I could come in and get a remake. So I did, because I was very hungry and upset. When I got there, the same dish was already made again when I got there. The woman working there was very nice, but when I got home with my remade dish, I was very surprised to find that EVERYTHING was once again overcooked. The biscuit is so hard I can't cut it with my knife, the steak was very dry and overcooked, the egg that's supposed to be "over-easy" looks like it was sitting in the frying pan for over 20 minutes, and the gravy came out in disgusting, squishy blobs. Everything seems to have been sitting out all evening. I'm terrified to even try the gravy because of how it plopped out of the cup. I'm upset, disappointed and still very hungry but my appetite is ruined. I hate to be "that customer," but this is the worst food I've received from any restaurant in a long time, and it happened twice within 20 minutes.

So Shari's has been running a LOT of radio ads for their "Friday Prime Rib Special" lately. But nothing on their website or on line menus mentions WHAT is so special about this special. I hate it when on line menus (and the paper menus they allow you to take home) do not show prices....it is so easy to change prices, it's a red flag. It is MY JOB to explain these details, good and bad. This review is the Garden Home Shari's but I suspect it applies largely to the entire chain. And I'll add another star IF they put prices on their on line and to go menus. No, it is not a "special" price, or a BOGO, or a coupon, or a large cut for the price of a small or some extra appetizer or side. What makes THIS Shari's "special" is that they only do Prime Rib on Friday. What it should be called is "Shari's Friday wine by the bottle special". That's ok with me even if a little misleading. Friday's from 4 pm till close, IF you order one of the three Prime Rib "specials" you can buy: Thorney Rose California Cabernet (regular $ 18), Houge Washington Merlot (reg. $ 17), Sycamore White Zinfandel ($ 16), or Chardonnay ($17) at half price. Apparently the per glass prices are not so discounted...but I failed to ask. There are three Prime Rib choices: Herbal rubbed ($ 10.99), Blackened ($ 11.49) or Blackened with Cajun shrimp ($ 11.99). Each is offered: "extra shrimp" (additional $ 3.99 I THINK...price not on paper menu). Now I've been tricked before about "shrimp" before so I ask Corine, "The Blackened with Cajun shrimp is how big? 10 oz, 12oz?" Corine is cheerful, attentive and a sweetie pie, fast and efficient BUT she was wrong on two counts. She should know my cut was no way more than 8 oz and there were 10 medium shrimp included and sufficient NOT to order the "extra" version they seem to be pushing. When the Sommelier arrived with my $ 8.50 bottle of Houge Merlot, http://www.hoguecellars.com/index.php?month=9&day=13&year=1960 he failed to display the label per vin etiquette. I did, however follow MY part and not so discretely sniff the Boone's Farm style twist off metal bottle cap. I think they don't teach all of the wine rituals at Shari's Sommelier School. The cook (I was a short order cook many moons past) and he did his best with a non prime cut. Still it was tasty, sufficient size, but had a bit too much waste. It was NOT freshly cut from a full rib or else possibly finished to Medium rare on the grill. And I may be too picky but I dislike a baked tater served WITH aluminum foil ! By the way, you can have potato OR salad but BOTH is extra. The full bottle makes this much less annoying. Service was good, chow acceptable, price was decent and I gave the last third of the bottle to a woman taking her wheelchair bound elderly father to Shari's for dinner....tugged at my heartstrings 'cause I just went thru the same thing with my father. Still, it was interesting because this (next to Lamb's Thriftway) Shari's is near my home and I've probably driven past it a few thousand times and this was the first time I've ever eaten there. Edited to add: So $ 11.99 & $ 8.50 worked out to a very reasonable lightly buzzed $ 20.50 plus tip (including a little something for the unappreciated cook that has a giant menu to master). Maybe they should promote: "Free Prime Rib with purchase of $ 21 bottle of wine" Over all... good deal, clean, HUGE menu, and staff did not have a chip on their shoulder. Now about the Muzak...... Any questions?

We went to Shari's knowing that it is three star food. What we weren't expecting was the one star service. It was a long wait to order, a long wait for the food, and even after discussing the wait with the manager we had to wait for our bill after all the dishes had been cleared. My country fried steak was luke warm and my son's waffle undercooked. The famous pies? Meh.

I used to come here all the time but my service was pretty poor this time. I didn't get the soup I ordered, and when I asked about it I was informed that they didn't have any soup on hand. My boyfriend ordered a prime rib benedict that did not contain any prime rib - they did remake it for him, and did not charge me for my "sandwich" thankfully. We were left hungry and disappointed. Sorry, Shari's, you were great before you replaced the staff - but the service was lackluster and food was dreadful.

It's nothing special but every time my daughter and I go we are always blessed to have the same server and she always remembers us and we receive great service from her. It's to the point that she knows the kid wants her "usual". It's kinda sweet. 3 stars for the food, but one extra for the service we always receive.

This review is for the Shari's restaurant at 9730 N. Whitaker Rd. We weren't able to fly standby on a Sunday night and ended up staying at the Days Inn up the street. Shari's was open at 11pm Sunday night, so we gave it a try. I was very pleasantly surprised. The place was clean and we were seated immediately. The waitstaff is friendly and fast. My boy ordered the fried shrimp basket and I got Shari's Griddle. My bacon was smoky, the pancakes were slamming, but my scrambled eggs seemed microwaved. The shrimp seemed fresh and were well-cooked. The oreo pie seemed a little old. Overall, this place totally exceeded my expectations given its dumpy surroundings.

So it's better than IHOP but it's still a chain. It's not quite as good as Black Bear but is always consistent. I have yet to have any pie but my daughter and I stop in from time to time when I'm playing hookie.

o, where are underage kids supposed to go at 2am to fulfill their hunger? *ding ding* shari's (24 hours/7 days) back in highschool i frequented this location quite frequently as there was no other options. that's the thing with shari's - if you have a choice don't eat here - unless you enjoy the overpriced mediocre food that dennys/ihop/shari's are known for (breakfast, burgers, steaks, appetizers - their menu is quite big and comprehensive) the food here is not bad but not something I would ever choose to provided there are alternatives available. now - once you turn 21 and have more options available there's no reason to go here. side note: i went to a birthday dinner here - not recommended.

Shari's has now changed the age to 60 for their senior menu. FYI

We went to the Shari's in Garden Home. The booths were all very uncomfortable. We tried switching tables, but the next was almost as bad as the first. The food wasn't horrible, but wasn't good either, with exception to the pie. That was pretty good. The service was also pretty good. I doubt that we will be returning. There are too many better options.

We love coming here! The people are fantastic and we always get great service! My husband and I come to reconnect in the mornings or over lunch as we live a mile down the street and Michael was one of the FANTASTIC servers! I like the pie (Lemon cheesecake) and you have GOT to try their cranberry chicken sandwich trio! Its my fave! Half sandwich, salad and a piece of pie. :D

Fun for a night adventure when you're hungry but don't want fast food. Pies are ok, super sugary and over processed. Got the strawberry pie one night and it was so congealed you could hardly see the strawberry. Oh and they only give like 6 fries with their burgers... I'll be back though, maybe just ask for more fries.
