Bad Habit Room — Restaurant in Portland

I wanted to find a fun new place to take some out of town visitors. I'm glad we decided to try the Bad Habit Room. Not only did it surpass my expectations, but my guests from Chicago were also very happy with everything. I will for sure be adding this place to my list of acceptable weekend brunch places.

This place is a bit on the small side so it may be a bummer if it becomes super popular. I can just imagine the wait time would be awful. Luckily we didn't have to wait at all for a table even though we had a party of five.

I'm not really a fan of sweets or I would have ordered the house made pop-tart. I ended up ordering the Spinach Benedict and damn was it good! They seem to serve poached eggs with almost every breakfast option, this being great news to me as I LOVE poached eggs! I often find myself judging an establishment based on how well they can poach an egg. It never fails to break my heart when I bust open a poached egg and nothing oozes out. I can proudly say my poached eggs at the Bad Habit Room did not disappoint; they were perfectly poached. The spinach, egg, and hollandaise sauce were on top of what they called "beer bread". I's never had beer bread before, but it was fantastic for soaking up delicious hollandaise and egg yolk. My meal also came with breakfast potatoes and greens. The greens being a side salad that was actually much tastier than I was expecting.

I couldn't help but notice the selection of tasty brunch adult beverages. Next time I find myself here I will absolutely be sampling their bloody mary. This morning I just had a coffee as I was with the in-laws and it was not an alcoholic kind of...

Pre-covid, Bad habit room was one of our favorite places for brunch. They used to have these amazing scratch made pop tarts. We went back after their first reopening and it was alright. Decided to give it one more shot after the second reopening, and we’re unfortunately pretty disappointed. On the bright side, service was great, and the drinks were really tasty. The food on the other hand really left something to be desired. We got the chicken & waffles, and the corned beef hash. The chicken was super Smokey, to the point of it overpowering everything, and it was poorly fried and just really lacking. It also came with only three of the four pieces of a waffle which was odd. The corned beef hash really missed the mark too. The over-easy eggs were over cooked, the potatoes and carrots were undercooked, and the whole dish was severely under seasoned. It desperately needed salt. The biscuit looked like it had sat out for hours. Overall it was not a terrible experience, we’re just bummed and will likely not...

Today was my first time eating at the Bad Habit Room. We have a couple of friends that come eat here every Sunday and always tell us how great it is and how we need to check it out, so we finally took them up on it.

If there's one reason to try this place it would be the special-made Pop Tarts. The flavors change regularly and today's flavor was lemon curd, and it was delicious. The crust was very fine quality and an integral part of the experience. It was my favorite thing I tried.

I ordered the Korean Breakfast, which came with Korean BBQ pork, sticky rice, kimchi and poached eggs, although I requested scrambled because its the only I eat them. It was very good. My friends ordered different items which I did not try, but they looked beautiful. I've already mentioned that they adore this place, so I trust they tasted just as great as they looked.

Brunch is only available on weekends from 9am to 2pm. I'm not sure what they do on the other days, but I think it's an...
