Food and drink are SO bomb. Along with that the service is refreshingly legit well done waiting tables. I did for 20 years and you just don't see this level of good service anywhere anymore. All around fantastic place.

In my opinion the best brunch in Portland. The best flavor, the best dishes and amazing atmosphere. Great service and the best vibe overall. My husband and I come here at least 1x a week and have enjoyed most of the menu. We always look forward to coming to Midpoint for every birthday and special occasion to start the day off.

Midpoint was my favorite breakfast stop in Portland. The Bloody Mary's are fantastic and the food executed so well. It's in a little strip mall and the little diner isn't fancy by any means, but it's a solid breakfast stop. It was so good that we went two days in a row on our vacation. The staff was very friendly and service great. There's a small parking lot on the premises

I always enjoy this place! It is hopping, so if you do not arrive early you will wait. Their mashed potato stack is a very original way to eat a spud in the morning! It is a wonderful change from tired hash browns and country potatoes. Veggie and vegan sausage is available - yay me! They also have a variety of cheeses offered in their scrambles.. I had their egg scramble with veggie sausage, chèvre and red onion with the mash. The decor reminds me of the video game "Fallout" - old tin signs (advertising) and tables and chairs from a time capsule. The food flavors run deep - nothing feels plain here. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals.

My wife and I visited for the first time for my birthday this morning and had a really great time. We had seen some negative reviews recently about the server with light pink hair, but we had a great experience with her. Friendly, quick service. No complaints at all. I'm vegetarian and got the 52nd Ave stack with mashed and veggie sausage. Absolutely delicious. Also got some French toast cuz ya gotta live a little! So good. My wife got the Basic and really enjoyed it as well. Tasty bacon apparently! We just moved in up the street and are so excited to have found this place.

Oh. My. God. I am tempted to say nothing about this spot. I really considered it, because it is just that good. But I want it to survive. Come early or prepare to wait! On a weekend I was there around 9:15 and still had a bit of a wait. As I left, I saw it was much, much worse. The inside is cozy, dark, and eye candy - so much to look like. The food? You have to be freaking kidding! I loved everything I had. I had a hankering, so I ordered the chilaquiles. They were too good. Chips could have been less soft or more thick - a little more texture, one way or the other, was needed, but I still didn't leave anything behind. I also had a spicy Bloody Mary that was garnished gorgeously and too delicious to leave behind. Ever since, I've been plotting mu return to Midpoint for their meatloaf sandwich with horseradish sauce. That's the thing about this place - if they offer it, you are guaranteed that it is good.

Solid classic diner experience. Some of their food items seem simple on the surface, but they execute them perfectly. There always seems to be just the right ratio of ingredients. This is a well known and popular spot in the neighborhood, and you can definitely expect a bit of a wait anytime on the weekend. They open at 9am, and by 9:30 there is usually a wait outside. They do have a good mix of booths and tables and counter space so they can accommodate solo diners as well as modest groups. Pros: great atmosphere, solid food, reasonable prices. Kinda random but I really appreciate the jam being in a squeeze bottle and not having to deal with low quality annoying smuckers packets. Cons: Small parking lot, and sometimes neighborhood parking can also be tricky. Slow service at times.
