What people say, in short
Screen Door's breakfast recommendations cover multiple Portland outlets, including Eastside on Burnside. A Burnside visitor loved the food; another recommends Eastside's pork-shoulder Benedict and breakfast potatoes. Biscuits and gravy also receive citywide praise. Long waits recur in the discussion, with some diners saying the food is not worth the lines. One weekday walk-in went smoothly, but that experience is not a promise of short waits.
