Fat Milo's (Fremont) — Restaurant in Portland

A nice addition to a strip of restaurants and bars on Northeast Fremont, with service that is very friendly and attentive. I really, really want this place to be a solid five stars, but so far the food is hit or miss. I hope that evolves over time, though.

The hits: Vegetable hash has been great every time, savory with eggs, potatoes, seasonal veggies and delicious romesco sauce. Breakfast grilled cheese is a unique sweet breakfast sandwich- sort of french toast, sort of grilled cheese with egg, sort of a cheese danish, and very yummy. The french toast is good and the biscuits are buttery and filling.

The misses: The G.O.A.T. didn't live up to its name, unfortunately. It was surprisingly bland for a menu item that listed such flavorful ingredients- basically an egg sandwich with the barest sprinkling of condiments. And Huevos Rancheros is usually one of my favorite breakfasts, but when I ordered it the beans were undercooked, and the tortillas were overly crispy and dry, so that none of the flavors really blended.

As for drinks, I have yet to try any of their cocktails but my dining companions love them. The coffee is excellent and they have tasty fresh...

I’ve enjoyed numerous meals at Fat Milo’s since they opened this spring, and they’ve quickly become the talk of the neighborhood for their incredible quality and impeccable service. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming, and it’s my go-to spot for dining with out-of-town guests or grabbing a quick breakfast burrito while catching up on emails.

The menu is packed with amazing options (it’s hard to choose!), and everything is made with high-quality, locally sourced ingredients. The food comes out quickly, prices are fair, and the team runs things so efficiently. There is always a daily special and incredibly gorgeous cake sitting in the background enclosed in a glass tray, calling my name from across the room.

If you haven’t been yet, go support this wonderful family-owned restaurant, you’ll be glad you did! I’m already planning to come back for dinner soon and check out their Sherwood location next time I’m exploring...

Fat Milo's on Fremont is the answer to my prayers. Fantastic food, great portion sizes, excellent family-run service and a location that serves the neighborhood well. The turkey club was perfect -- quality thick cut bacon, generous amount of cold cuts and crunchy sourdough to cap it off. On my second visit I took advantage of their all day breakfast and enjoyed a chicken-fried steak -- another solid selection with tasty gravy and a heaping serving of jojos to help soak it all up. Portland is a city starved for diners, thank you Milo's for bringing high-quality New American Diner food our inner northeast neighborhoods. Can't...
