Food is absolutely fantastic! One of the best corn beef hashs I have had in a long time.Definitely adding them to our weekend rotation.

Incredibly good food! I went here because I saw they had white chocolate chips for their pancakes and they absolutely did not disappoint! I also had one of the specials, which was a pulled pork Benedict on top of puff pastry. Poached eggs were perfect.Great, friendly service.

Nice hole in the wall with friendly staff. A bit of a wait on the weekend but the food was great. Infused vodka for your bloody marry. Had the catfish Benedict. It was the bomb! Chicken fried steak was delicious. I would definitely eat hear again.

So tasty! We went on a Thursday at 10am and had zero wait. The portions were sizable, the drinks were tasty and the food was so good! Do yourself a favor and get a biscuit. Impressive Bloody Mary’s and pint-sized mimosas.

Came here for the vegan options, which they have many! I ordered a coffee at the front while waiting to get seated. I came in during a busy time. Food is worth the price. Cute little hipster cafe, seems to stay busy. ❤️

Great place for a hearty brunch. The service is quick and the menu has all of your brunch favorites. I had their biscuits and mushroom gravy. It was delicious and I highly recommend it. I left feeling very full.

Small place but plenty of seating. We went on a Sunday and didnt have to wait more than a minute around lunch time. Friendly server and very attentive. I think she refilled our water every 2 minutes. (Hangovers, am I right?) Which brings me to their pride and joy. Their bloody Mary. Tons of vodka flavors to choose from. I had the bacon bloody and it was really good, but my girlfriend had the horseradish bloody and it was amazing! The food was good too, we had eggs Benedict. Almost too much ham for my taste but solved that quickly. The lady next to us was hammered, at noon... So you know the bloodies are strong.

Good food. Good vibes. I really dig that theyre willing to sub filler carbs for more nutritious sides such as fruit or cottage cheese or salad. While their prime time busy hours happen on the weekend brunch times, Ive taken to their weekday breakfast to avoid the crowds and feeling rushed while I eat - or show up early on weekends.

Had the prime time Benedict from the specials sheet. It was so flipping good! Service was also 5 star!

Great customer service, breakfast options are plentiful and delicious 😋. I had the biscuits and gravy which was on point. Wifey had the Spanish scramble with chorizo, she was impressed.

Fantastic breakfast and great service! You will not be disappointed!

Best brunch, delicious chicken fried steak with mushroom gravy and backed potatoes. The jalapeno bloody mary is the best in Portland!!!

Went here with a large-ish group and they accommodated us all. Amazing staff, helpful, funny, and friendly! The food was good, and I had a seriously crazy cocktail with an actual scorpion on top. xD

Gotta get the scorpion bloody, its very spicy and delicious

Been going to Genies for years. Most of the same staff are still around since I started going, and thats a huge plus because they are amazing. Consistently, good food and service. Biscuits and gravy are just as good as Pine State and you dont have to wait in line.

Visiting from the east coast and Genies was delicious! Got the two eggs, roasted potatoes with a house made biscuit that was so amazing. My boyfriend ordered the granola with a side of potatoes and bacon - and to be honest he didn’t need those sides because the granola/yogurt portion was huge! We’ve already planned to go here one more tome before we leave! :)

Workers were nice, came by multiple times to get more coffee and water. Everything came efficiently. If you want to choose between the scorpion and the Carolina bloody Mary, go with the Carolina. Little cheaper, better flavor. Unless you really want the scorpion that tastes like nothing. Photogenic at least. Everyone are their food and seemed to like theirs enough. French toast I had had raw notes throughout it. Wasnt super sweet and if you wanted it to be, of course you can pour the whole tin of syrup on itPlace did seem very very loud for only a couple handful of tables. Acoustics are quiet bad, felt our conversations usually opened with, huh or what.

This place has excellent service and great breakfast options. Usually the wait isn’t nearly as bad as other places in town for brunch. One of the best places to eat in S.E.!

Better than the average diner around town. Not everything is GREAT, but most are very good. Benedict’s are always among my fav. Large and creative Bloody Mary menu. Bright sunny south facing windows create classic vanilla brunch-y atmosphere, despite sparse decor. Consistently good brunch spot at decent prices.

Really good breakfast! Havent had anything else there so I cant comment. The bacon omelette and breakfast burrito are both delicious. Always great, friendly service. Even when theyre busy my food arrives quickly. Great coffee too!

Pretty tasty, little more pricy and smaller portions than I expected, but still good.

Weve only been here twice, but both times the food was delicious! It didnt take too long for the drinks and food to come out. I ordered the biscuits and sausage gravy most recently; great sized bisquits and you also get a couple of eggs and potatoes :) also, if youre wanting a good cocktail, their peppermint patty is great.

Great breakfast, usually a reasonable wait time. They dont serve waffles here though, which makes it difficult for me to consider it as a five-star breakfast spot. I mean, without waffles, does a place even truly serve breakfast?

Food is good. The service from the kitchen is usually incredibly fast. Front staff service is usually friendly and welcoming. Bonus points because I have never had to wait for a table here!

Quiet cafe atmosphere in the morning that I was there. Food was great. Vegan sausage was delicious! Will be a repeat customer

Solid choice for breakfast or brunch. Go early if you go on the weekend as it will get packed quick and the line will be long. The Bloody Marys are what set this place apart. Create your own or choose from an extensive list. Great food with a daily special list that never disappoints. The daily specials are always changing to keep things fresh and new. One of my favorite go-to brunch places!

The food here was good and the coffee was decent. The entrance is a little weird though and its easy to find yourself ordering To Go if youre not careful. However, after we were seated, the staff was friendly and quick to serve. They have a good amount of options on the menu and youre able to make choices vegetarian if needed. Additionally, they were happy to work with my dairy allergy.

This has been one of my favorite spots for breakfast. I ordered the breakfast burrito and was not disappointed as it was huge and filled with so much flavor. The staff is respectful and friendly. Our waitress was on top of her game. I, unfortunately, did not get to try their Bloody Marys but I heard that theyre some of the best.

As much or more a neighborhood bar than a restaurant, the staff was great, very friendly. The food was acceptable, by which I mean the hamburger & the salad could have been order out from McDonalds. Fine place to catch a bite with a friend.

This is a place of holiness for brunch. They know their eggs like no others. These chefs are consistent.The drinks of all kinds will satisfy you and the staff kick ass. Bring friends and have fun. 8/10 times it will be busy but what places that are known for being great are slow? Besides, they turn tables like professionals should.

Good food. Got a hard biscuit and they compensated for it. Mushroom gravy was awesome.

Favorite. Place. EVER. Been going to Genies for years and have never been unsatisfied. Although I literally get the same thing every thing, I have brought guests or friends from out of town and they have always left happy! Love this place!

The chicken fried steak was delicious. The lines are long on the weekends but my wait was not too bad.

Delicious food. Wide variety of different types of breakfast food. Its a big place so theres lots of seating but its very busy. The wait to get our food was a bit long but the waiter apologized (we didnt bring it up) and offered us a discount. Ill definitely come back here again.

Stopped at Genies for breakfast and it was so good! I got the classic eggs Benedict and my wife got the bacon scramble. We loved both of the dishes and cant wait to come back. The atmosphere was nice and the servers were friendly. I definitely recommend stopping by!

Loved this place! Great service, friendly people and really yummy food! Will definitely be returning!

The wait was long. But the food was worth it and the service was spot on. I will be going back to try something different. This time around I had a cheeseburger, it was good, Ive had better at a place in my local town but it was by such a small margin that it doesnt effect the rating. I may change this to five stars at a later date upon a second or third visit. If consistency holds it will go up.Thank you for the service and the food.Went back again about 2 months ago when a was waiting for a friend and had an hour and a half to kill. This time the wait was about 10 minutes. I got over-medium eggs, toast, and juice. It was very good. (Side note I hate juice but will drink it because health reasons, and it was one of the few times that I didnt gag at first taste).

Awesome spot for breakfast! A huge variety of breakfast options: we were able to have pancakes, eggs Benedict, and a scramble (loaded with good veggies and meat). The pancakes were huge and delicious. The sauce on the eggs Benedict was delightfully tangy, the yolks cooked perfectly.The staff was wonderful: very polite and responsive. They were so helpful with our toddler. Coloring books and crayons were available. Plus, water in a sippy cup magically appeared for us. So grateful!

Genies is cozy and busy so expect a wait. They have a counter upfront where you can order coffee or breakfast booze while you wait. They have a large array of infused vodka that they use to make some great bloody Marys. All the food we ordered was delicious.

I came for pancakes and was very satisfied with the plate sized blueberry pancakes and bacon I ordered. I added raspberry jam to them and they were delectable! Highly recommend this place for a chill atmosphere with good food.

Amazing brunch! Worth the half an hour wait on a Saturday of a long weekend. They have a self serve libations and coffee bar which was such a nice touch! The Benny was amazing and the chicken fried steak and gravy was to die for!

The food and bloody marys did not disappoint. And our server was so nice and attentive. It was great all the way around!

Got the Spanish scramble is was super good, the side of potatoes was alright. Might not have been in the mood for them.Place was super packed, but the service was great!

This place has a great breakfast! Their potatoes are so crisp and delicious. I got their biscuits and gravy and prefer their gravy to Pine Streets across the street. Great biscuit and bacon, too!

Fast service good coffee. Food is usually spot on. Occasionally misses the mark (cold, etc)

Great atmosphere, toilet in the womens room is a little wack. Good food and good service and had plenty of seating so it doesnt seem like theyd ever have a capacity issue.

I only give this to stars because it has good service. The coffee sucks, its way to strong and taste burnt. The pancakes were chewy and tasted like baking soda. No one in my group was happy with there meal. It was all edible, but I would never recommend this place.

The drinks to go with breakfast are spectacular. Try the coffee with 151. The selection of breakfast and lunch is perfect. The bright views through large windows allow you to see parts of Portland out of the rain.

Expensive. My 1/3lb burger was $15 with cheese & bacon, fries & a side of ranch. I dont mind posting more if the fidd reflects the price. This didnt. The fries were overcooked & hard. The burger was okay, but nothing special. The worst part was actually that the server was kind of rude.We had a large party & one person needed to leave earlier than the rest of us. The server literally said she wasnt going to come back to our table again so we could each pay our bill & that we all needed to pay at the same time. She was kinda snotty about it & left a bad taste in all our mouths. I will not be spending any more money here.

This Portlander’s “go to” for Eggs Benedict with bacon 🥓

A pretty affordable brunch spot, with great loose leaf tea. The staff are fast and nice!

Amazing food bug only after a long wait time. Id say its worth it though! Fresh food and nice staff!

We had been to all our known favorite breakfast spots you know little holes with lines out the door....and didnt feel like a two hour wait so we stumbled across this place. Lots of space so we got a seat. Food was amazing! Heirloom tomatoes fresh sausage great coffee I was impressed we will make this a new Portland favorite

Stretched to give them a 5 but I did. just dont be in a hurry on a Sunday morning. wait is long, service is slow, but the Denver omlet was oh so good. will try for a quieter day and see if the food is just as good. Cool vibe, young croud, solid menue......yes.....have to go back.

Another Portland Original! Really good food, ample portions, very friendly staff. Varied menu. They serve a great breakfast and the best coffee. Love this place!

Great and very popular spot for brunch. You can expect a wait on weekends but worth it. Some nice gluten free options which I really appreciated. A very Portland place so its fun to take visitors here too.

I have been getting great coffee here most mornings for over two years. I really don’t want to give away this great coffee bar because then I will have to wait longer! The food is very good too lots of vegetarian and vegan options along with regular American fare. Coffee is from Oblique.

Good place. Not as busy as it use to be but still great food. Was there when it opened at 8am and stayed until 10am and no waits or lines and this was on a Saturday.

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING !!!!! Coming from a person who is very picky about a lot of things. The food is bursting with flavor, nice ambiance, and the best Caramel Latte Ive EVER had. I will definitely be going back! Again.. and again.. and again.. and again. 😄

A good neighborhood cafe, with a small but quality menu. Prices are reasonable for Portland, and the staff are friendly.

My family and I, after a long hard morning at OHSU, wanted to find a close quality breakfast spot. My son choose Genies! What a cool spot! The staff was awesome super friendly. The food was fantastic. Everyone in my family wants to come back soon! Whether its to try something new like there Bloody Maries or there amazing chicken fried steak! Great people great food great menu! Thank you Genies!

Super cute spot. I wish the food had a little more flavor but thats what salt and pepper is for.

Good food and a wonderful server. Would be nice if the place was updated a bit.

Been going to Genies most weekends for years, usually with a group of 6+ people. Staff are phenomenal. Waits can be long for a big group, but service is usually fast.

Cute diner feel. My potatoes tasted like they had been sitting out, only negative. The gluten-free bread tasted great, bacon scramble was so tasty.

Generous breakfast portions at more than generous prices. You cant pick a bad thing from the menu, though could pick something interesting (Scorpion vodka bloody Marys?)Be prepared for a wait on a Sunday morning though.Also, do yourself the treat and get the mushroom gravy and biscuits at breakfast. That gravy is amazing.

Came on 4th of July great service in a busy restaurant, good breakfast food, and great drinks. Portion size was rather small for the price of the dish. Would come again!

Great restaurant but nasty waitress. Generally a great time usually and no problems with staff. Very busy!

Have been to several of these places but this is one of the best. We had the feast for 4 and it was absolutley delicious. It could easily feed 6. The service was excellent as was the atmosphere. We will go back soon.

Cant go wrong with this restaurant. Ample seating so waits arent too long. The roasted potatoes, really any Benedict, and bloodies are phenomenal. Weve been frequenting here for almost a decade and never thought twice about swinging by.

I love this place! Surprising a lot of gay people go there so fun! Also foods great. Portion size is nice and staff is awesome

Best breakfast in Portland and they open fairly early. Eggs Benedict are great and the Bloody Marys are second to none. If your feeling brave I suggest trying the scorpion bloody, has a real scorpion in it and is very spicy!

The food was terrible. We tried the special chilaquiles. It was just whole fried tortillas with sauce, 2 eggs, 2 crumbs of chicken, and arugula. I read the description on the menu and it says it also was suppose to have avocado.... It did not. The eggs were almost raw. We also had a flavorless fried steak. $40 for this was a robbery. This was one of the worst meals we have had. The waiter was nice. Funny, we got a feeling at the door that told us to leave because the food was going to be bad. We should have listened. I would not recommend this place for any reason.

It was awesome. Food was great and fast. Server was very attentive. Local eggs, cream, and meats. My juice was fresh and the bacon bloody Mary was just spicy enough!

Great food and breakfast cocktails. We go early with our kids and never seem to wait. The staff is always super nice too!

Genies has some of the greatest bloody Marys in Portland :) they are usually busy on weekend esp during brunch hour there can be a bit of a wait. But they are reasonably priced and the service is quick! All of the staff has always been super friendly as well :)

Great spot for breakfast or lunch. Quality ingredients that are well prepared. Good staff.

Dont let anyone tell you this place is okay. Because its incredible every time. Solid well rounded whole hearted food that you can taste the love that was put into it. You can taste the freshness in every bite. Literally everything on their menu is perfect. MEAN bloody marys

Its a local favorite with great brunch options. Staff are very friendly, and they take care of dietary restrictions. Food tastes great (not five stars, though), but their specialty cocktails are amazing. Definitely recommended, if you can put up with a bit of a wait on weekend mornings.

I love the food here. The staff is also usually very nice. I love their scrambles. Their ingredients are typically fresh and local, and the portions can sometimes be huge.

Straight up comfort food for brunch at this sunny Portland eatery. Roasted potatoes take up half the plate, but portion sizes are large and the ingredients are fresh. Service comes with an accommodating smile, and the prices are comparatively reasonable.

Good food but get ready to wait to get seated a long time (one hour wait in most cases) and again at least 30 minutes for your food. Its good but there are better places with more reasonable wait. Also, the waitlist is arbitrary and they call you whenever they feel like

The friendly staff are always patient with our son who has a limited diet and our daughter loves their blueberry pancakes special. I love their mochas and scrambles. My husband, who cannot eat eggs, is always able to find something he likes too.

Fresh local ingredients make this farm-to-table restaurant stand out from the crowd. A popular breakfast and lunch place for locals on weekends, there is often a line, but thats the sign of great food in Portland. Try the spinach and apple salad with chicken and bacon. Limited parking, so walk, bike, or transit your way there.

I like this place, for the most part. The food is good and the coffee is plentiful, but I used to use this as a place to study with a partner and was pretty upset when we were asked to leave abruptly. They were respectful when they asked, but it still sucked.

If you love diners, youll love Genies. Down to earth, great service. I especially appreciate their specials menu- this morning I had a honey-brandy soaked pear, Gorgonzola, bacon, & shallot omelette covered in hollandaise that rocked my world!

Meh - hamburger had butt end of lettuce, no pickles or onion, barely mayo. Good fries though. Nice gluten free options and was promised all meat is humanely raised.

I was commenting how nice it was to have a place that just served good food and didnt have to try so hard. Tons of GF options and fully validated GF & grain free Bloody Mary. Yum

Lots of great food options for whatever your dietary needs! Diner feel atmosphere, friendly staff and good homemade style food! Yum!

In a town that loves breakfast, you have to work hard to stand out, and Genies does just that. Delicious food, from scrambles and omelets to pancakes and waffles, and always yummy seasonal specials. The wait can be long, and it does get noisy, if those things matter much to you.

Great spot for brunch. Good food and not too busy.

I love it! My beauitful wife take me there for my birthday, we always go there for our birthdays, anniverary. WE LOVE THESE people who is work there is very so friendly! This is WHY we always come back.

Great breakfast! Try the biscuit and sausage gravy. I didnt care for the potatoes...they really should do hash browns. if the gravy would have been hot and hash browns were on the menu it would have been 1 of my more memorable meals.

Ive never had anything bad here! Plus, I didnt have to wait forever to sit down. This last time, I didnt wait at all on a Saturday at 11!

Seriously, everything is good here. Love the bacon garlic Bloody Mary!

Food is great, staff are friendly and prompt and the wait was quick. They have great eggs benedicts, tasty drinks and their specials are creative.

Pretty good. Nice vibe,very hip. A little loud but to be expected on a busy day.

Good atmosphere. Food was amazing until we found a hair in the eggs Benedict. Definitely will be back for the bloody Marys!

Was looking forward to eating here after following them on Facebook and seeing their weekly specials. I had the pulled pork Benedict. The hollandaise sauce was delicious and eggs poached perfectly. However, my potatoes seemed like they were cooked long before they were served. Biscuit was moist, flaky and EXCELLENT. My partner had the beef hash, which was beautiful, but mediocre in flavor. The service was quick and friendly, and they were very busy. A little on the pricey side, but we enjoyed our time!

Biscuits and gravy is a great choice! The wait to get seated was very long. The dining area is loud, the ambience could be better.
