Baseline Biscuits — Restaurant in Hood River

Undisputed heavyweight champion of chicken fried steak. Everywhere I go if it's on the menu I try it. From the Midwest to Montana to San Diego I have had many, too many of this dish but the best by a substantial margin is the one at Baseline Biscuits. Exceptionally tender with an exceptionally crispy and flaky crust with a very delicious gravy. On top of that the potatoes were delicious and a little unusual. Cut much larger than any breakfast potatoes I've ever seen but full of flavor and fried to a crispy outside. Could have come with a little more gravy but with judicial distribution it can be enough for the meal. Eggs were cooked to perfection and the meal comes with a biscuit which is great. I will say that while the biscuit is better than average and better than any other I've had in the Gorge it failed to achieve that sky high distinctly layered flakiness that is the hallmark of a truly exceptional example. That being said it was delicious and well seasoned and I would eat one again this very second. The Marion Berry/ Habanero jelly is also delicious. Just a little touch of heat on the finish made this jam something unique and addictive. My wife had biscuits and gravy with a sausage patty which was also very good and highly recommended. I also saw a chicken sandwich coming out of the window that looked insane. I want one so bad. We sat inside but the outside seating looked very nice and several people were taking advantage of the beautiful weather. Exceptional little breakfast spot in every way. I will be back as soon as I can.

Edit: I have been back a.couple times now and everything is always on point. The chicken on a biscuit is insanely good. The shrimp and grits is also excellent. I cannot recommend this...

The food, the service and the atmosphere are incredible. I’ve traveled all over the country and have had breakfast at many food chains and unique restaurants and I have to say, none of them compare to Baseline Biscuits and I do mean none of them. Casey was our server and she is awesome. Her smile alone, just makes your day. She was very friendly and so down to earth. My daughter and I truly enjoyed talking to her. About the food. Wow wow wow! I did not expect the food to be this great! Every thing we ate, was the best breakfast food that both my daughter and I have ever tasted, no exaggeration. But wait, it gets better. We were on our way to do some hiking and Casey mentioned stopping back in later for ice cream at Mt. Hood Creamery ( same location, same owners) and so we did just that. And again, we were blown away. I had a waffle cone and one scoop of pistachio ice cream, which was not a little scoop at all. And my daughter had a waffle cone with cookies & cream and brookie dough ( brownie instead of cookie, hence the name brookie dough ) and it was delicious too! After just eating the best breakfast ever, we had to buy t-shirts from here. You wouldn’t catch me wearing a t-shirt from any other food place, but from Baseline Biscuits, I’m not only excited to wear the t-shirt, but I can’t wait to brag about this place to anyone that looks at my t-shirt. Thanks Casey for the awesome level of service...

My husband and I stopped by this charming town early on a Saturday morning and decided to eat breakfast. We were greeted by friendly staff right away. It was a beautiful day, we sat outside. My husband ordered a Bloody Mary which was made with their house made mix. It was very fresh and clean tasting. I had coffee, very good on the chilly morning, and the refills kept coming which I appreciated. I had the biscuit with egg and sausage with sausage gravy. The biscuit was huge and oh so delicious. The sausage gravy was delicious, not overly salty. We both loved the food and the service was top notch. Although it is comfort food, it was very fresh and we left feeling full and very happy! We look forward to...
