Besaw’s Legendary Meatloaf. So delicious.
Wild Salmon Scramble. This was a good dish, but I particularly enjoyed the potatoes, which were basically like upscale french fries with giant garlic cloves mixed in. They also have a house made ketchup. The ambience here is really cool and it’s a shame they have to move. Good coffee and marionberry jam. Definitely worth a visit if in the area.
Are you serious , worst policies ever.. Have been going to this restaurent for years, food is great but it is incredibly crowded.? Called in to order my breakfast to pick up and was informed they dont offer take out on weekends. All I was trying to order was bacon and eggs, I was told their kitchen was inadequate. What …….????????????????? Why not …..? This is another great example of how this city is becoming very unappealing. Our family has done business on 23rd for years. This is embarrassing. This restaurant used to be good, I guess there just like every other sell out. Take care of your long term customers or we’ll just go else where and tell all our millions of friends on the web. I don’t know how to explain it , it’s so frustrating to enjoy a hash spot for years and now I have to go find another favorite place eat my breakfast. Compleatlly disappointed in you you Besaws.
This place is amazing! Service was great and food was even better. Get Uncle Earl’s famous Bloody Mary! The staff even gave us some must see and do recommendations. Highly highly recommend for an adorable portland experience.
Artisan breakfast. Rarely is a breakfast perfect; Besaw’s was wonderful. Excellent bread, the potatoes were perfect and the eggs were definately farm fresh. Coupled with an outstanding NW Portland environ, this is not to be missed for those that require the bar to be raised.
Mothra Says….. Quality Menu & Service. This has been on Mothras wish list for some time. But the lines out the door on the weekends (nice problem huh?) have kept me away. Recently on a workday, yes, the Moth gets a vacation day occasionally, K and I popped in to a full restaurant with no wait and sat at the front counter. As you know, I love sitting at the front counter diner style. Bobby greeted us and took our drink order. This place was just buzzing. Diners moving in and out of the restaurant, employees scurrying around taking care of the diners, bus persons in & out of the kitchen, and chefs doing what a chef does. Onward. Breakfast is served til 3pm each day the menu is really cool. K mentions that the menu is: terrific. It did not take too long to decide on our entre items. Bobby took our order. As we waited, he greeted and said so long to his regulars. Within 15 minutes or so, Ks lox and bagel platter and my Croque Madame plate arrived. Wow! The eggs were cooked perfectly over a shaved ham and bchamel sandwich. In addition a load of rosemary roasted potatoes was on the side. Ks lox plate included a picked hardboiled egg, 3 large sundried tomatoes, an assortment of picked vegetables, red onions, capers, and cream cheese with toasted bagel. Lovely! Enter no conversation as we inhaled our breakfast. Negatives, few: The coffee was fair but not extraordinary Also, K kept steeling my rosemary potatoes. But thats not Besaws issue is it?Pluses, many: Bobby was terrific on the front end with his customer service. Sarah was great quietly on the back end efficient. The menu is fabulous; the chefs are amazing, the prices just fine. We will be back to try other items on the menu. Mothra says…… 3.75 of 5.0
Oatmeal. Awesome place to eat but they changed the oatmeal. For some reason mine came with butter melted all over it. Some people might like that but I wasn’t a fan. Anyway, make sure you ask them to hold the butter if you order oatmeal and if you don’t like it either. Otherwise this is one of the best breakfast spots in Portland.
