They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. We have no idea who “they” are, but we can’t argue with starting the day off with piles of pancakes and mountains of hash browns! If you love breakfast food, you need to visit The Gateway Breakfast House.

The Gateway Breakfast House is a classic diner that’s a neighborhood favorite in Portland.

Willis Anderson/Google Address: 11411 NE Halsey Street, Portland, OR 97220

Leave your fussy table manners at home; this is old-school dining at its best. There’s going to be a line on weekends, so settle in for a bit of a wait. It’s worth it.

You’ll find all your breakfast favorites here. From fluffy pancakes to omelets, it’s all made to order, diner-style, and the portions are massive.

The fluffy omelets come nine different ways, and they’re served alongside a stack of two pancakes.

For a really hearty meal, go with the Country Breakfast. It includes eggs, hashbrowns, your choice of meat (the country-fried steak is a great choice) AND either French toast, pancakes, a waffle, biscuits and gravy, or toast.

The pancakes are divine, and they pretty much fall right off the plate. Get yours with blueberries for just $2 more.

Have your breakfast and dessert at the same time when you order the strawberry toast with whipped cream. It’s three thick slices of French toast, covered in strawberries and generously topped with fresh whipped cream. Yum!
