I kept seeing good food reviews for breakfast at The Original Dinerant. I’m only here in Portland for a few days so I am picky about where I eat. Not only is the menu completely different and smaller than other reviews show but I found it severely lacking. Whatever rave reviews this place had can no longer be related for what is now The Social Spoon.

The single employee I saw doing everything was fantastic, nice and respectful. He was attentive to all the guests and was knowledgeable.

The food was presented very well! Thought it was standard. I’ve no complaints about the food except for the diminished menu almost had me walk out.

As for the atmosphere, do not expect an arcade. When the Original Dinerant left they took everything with them. It is a shell of its former self if other reviews are to be believed. Very disappointed. Very deceiving.

BEST FOOD I HAVE EVER HAD! I am so glad I let my husband talk me into trying it! The waitress was kind and helpful, the food was insane! My husband loved his chicken and jalapeno waffles and my chicken fried steak was HEAVEN! It was a real steak with red in the middle, so darn good!

We came here for breakfast at 3PM. First timers to the area, not familiar with which places serve breakfast all day. Gave these guys a go and we were delighted.

The special milkshake of the day was vanilla with pretzels and caramel. It’s hand dipped and comes with the extra milkshake served on the side – basically a full second milkshake!! Perfect for sharing.

I got the veggie burger with avocado and a side of tomato soup. The veggie patty had full peas and bits of carrots and spinach, so good. Matt got the Breakfast Lager that came with sausage, bacon, eggs and hash browns. The sausage wasn’t the best, lacking in flavor or something.

The peppermint tea was incredible. Loose leaf in a bag, Steven Smith Teamaker, a local brand.

Thank you for being a spotless restaurant. So clean. Every corner was dust free and nothing was sticky or greasy. Even the hot sauce bottles looked new!

Great atmosphere and awesome people. I got a burger and a milkshake, but not just any ordinary milkshake, a Salty Jim bourbon milkshake. That changed the way I looked at ice cream and bourbon forever. I could drink that every day. For the burger, I had the Squealer and it was alright. Honestly, for a burger with a fried egg (not runny, unfortunately) and pickled red onion, it was surprisingly lacking in flavor. I also shared the Chicken and Waffle Sliders and I should have just stuck with that because it was inventive and quite tasty.

We went for breakfast and we were also in a hurry but they got the food out with time to spare! I got the tofu scramble which was seasoned to perfection and my partner got the veggie hash bake. Both were very filling and the food came out quickly. Love the ambiance there too.

Was excited to come back for poutine and a milkshake only to find the menu is drastically different and they don’t have poutine or milkshakes. Kind of disappointing. Ended up getting a BLT instead and noticed the fries were also completely different. It wasn’t bad by any means, just not at all what I wanted or expected. The side of the building says milkshakes in huge font. No donut burger sliders, no poutine, no milkshakes??? Maybe I’m missing something?

I was very impressed!!! In route I always use there restroom.. It very convenient. So I decided it’s more than time to try them out.. I ordered a dirty martini. These are easy to mess up! The Bar tender made it excellently!! Yumm!! Then I ordered some wings. Smokey and delicious, and lots of them! The service was beyond exception. The Host was a BOSS!! Love this place.

The service was good over all. Although no one seemed to notice or care that the entire chicken and waffle dish only had one bite out of each burger, only because my husband and I each tried one. ( not our favorite ) The donut burger sliders where GREAT and the milk shake was good. The boozy shake was strong. Over all happy

Great service! I like the food… My wife loves the place. It had been awhile since we went and they now have an arcade upstairs! My 16 month old son had a blast and the server was SUUUUUUUUPERRRR nice to him. We went upstairs afterwards and played some retro games. Killer view upstairs of that part of town. I would go back again.

How I can tell a place is by their Eggs Benedict.
So disappointed. Hashbrowns extremely oily. Poached eggs, yolk over cooked but egg white still slightly gelatinous somehow. Hollandaise, ummm tasted like mayo.
For a place the food network has been to I couldn’t justify paying $15 for it. I ate as much as I could. My friend was kind to pay for it and deal with me constantly bringing it up.
