Part of my very earliest memories. The old family homestead and business was just up Powell Blvd from there. My grandparents would take us there after Sunday mass. I'd bet money the grease in the fryers hasn't been changed out since then. Also a great night place to sober up before going home when I was in HS. The Hot Cake House is a genuine Portland legend that just won't die......
Haven't been there in 20 years. Used to swing by there around 2:30am on weekends after a night at the clubs!
Don't worry, there are plenty of us on here that she knows to have much higher expectations of when it comes time for that! #BAM
Damn never heard of it but didn't spend a lot of time in SE either ... looks like a 'good' hole in the wall joint though.
Spent many a Friday night in HS after playing a football game hanging around Round Table Pizza and/or Sharis while waiting for a party to develop somewhere or just hanging out with friends. God bless all those waiters and waitresses that had to deal with the kids at these all night establishments.
FIFY
In the 60's that was our go to place after cruising Broadway, usually around 1-2 am.
unless we were able to pick up chicks! Then it was home cookin!
Damn. I was hoping they'd put one in Oregon City now that the two Sheri's we had are closed... I always liked Denny's better than Shari's.
You have the soul of a 78 year old
It was always hit or miss on Denny's depending on which one. We used to hit the one on W. Burnside after school dances etc. It was good when stoned but just so so otherwise.
They have the best reasonably priced double bacon cheeseburger. Canby is a good location.
Was surprised recently to see that the one near Moda was take-out only. They had the seating, but apparently didn't have the staffing to support dine-in. Not a good sign.
I know a few ELMER’S closed about 15 years ago around town. Didn’t realize there were any more open.
My family visits the one near Mall 205 regularly. I believe the one near 102nd/Sandy is still open. And there is now one at the Sheraton on 181st right off the freeway (where "Francis Xavier's" used to be).
