BarFly's Review of The Overlook

Just about the closest thing to a real diner that Portland has to offer - huge menu, with breakfast served all day and lots of Greek specialties, heaping portions, plenty of booths and counter seating, and waitresses that call everyone "Hon'". Cheap, strong drinks. Sit-around fireplace.

Reader Reviews of The Overlook
Biscuits and Gravy

Still THE best place to get a plate of biscuits and gravy in North Portland. Fuck what anyone else says, this is the spot. Just about anything on their breakfast menu is outstanding. Service has always been iffy; if they're Greek they will most likely be great, if they are hired staff you never know what you can get. Sixty year old in a wolf t-shirt coughing in hacks while she pours your coffee. Old black guys arguing about names in boxing nobody has cared about for decades in the corner. Endless games of two-spot Keno that never win. Fuck I miss Sunday morning hangovers in North Portland.

The Overlook

The staff are fast, friendly, and pour strong drinks. The food is reasonably priced, varied, and good. Its a great place to nurse a hangover, smoke, and get out of the scene.

What You Think:

Yes, these CAPTCHAs suck, but they are a necessary evil. Typing the words you see below proves you are a human.

Before hitting that submit button, we highly suggest you read the following guidelines:

  1. Owners/Managers/Employees: Do not shill for yourself or bad mouth competitors because we WILL catch you. We have been known to "out" repeat violators. Simply identify yourself as the owner/employee/manager to address our users's complaints. Trust us, it works to do it that way. It is great PR, our users love it, we love it, and your business will love it.

  2. ALL CAPS does not get get your point across, but it does make you look completely stupid. The button on your keyboard is clearly labeled CapsLock. Move your pinky 5/16ths of an inch and turn it off.

  3. Mockery is cool, libel isn't. Learn the difference. Naming names in a negative or totally false review? You forfeit your right to privacy and will be named if any legal issues arise.

  4. Where you 86ed for being a complete douchebag? Are you the perpetually unsatisfied bitch? The bartender's psycho ex? Are you copy & pasting the same review from/to Yelp, Citysearch, etc? Then you undermine the value of user reviews. Don't waste your time posting.

  5. The 1st Amendment covers your right to say what ever you want and our right to delete it off our server.

  6. BarFly staff may choose to break these rules at their own discretion.
