*Edit The night after I ate here I woke up with screaming um... Desire to use the bathroom and didn't want to be too far away for the next two days. Maybe steer clear of the burger. *2nd edit* I ate the leftovers of my wife's grilled cheese with ham after finally getting my bowels under control from the first run in and it all happened again. I spent the whole next night and day in the bathroom for the 2nd time in a week span. Dang. Guess I won't be eating anything but the breakfast there again. *Original review* Pretty good food, the burger was on the drier side and also it was quite large. I should have just gotten a single! They are not making shakes now, unfortunately, because their machine is broken. The wait staff was wonderful, everyone was bright and cheery for being there around 8pm. The physical location was a bit seedy, but inside was still nice. Would go again!

This was our first time at Shari's and I will say we enjoyed our food. The portion size was good enough for two people. We ordered an Spring omelette with pancakes, hash brown and toast on the side. To end we ordered the famous Marion berry pie which was delicious. The waitress there was sweet and helpful. I would definitely visit this location again.

Top notch friendly service from our waitress Jaclene. Thank you. Good sourdough patty melt and amazing pies!!!! Hungry and needed a little snack, this place worked perfectly to fill our bellies. Being patient helps here. They have a few people working hard to feed everyone. Sit back, relax, and enjoy.

Had some loaded potato soup, very good

The food was a lot better than I expected. Great sandwiches, good pie, and my steak, thought slightly undercooked, was really well-seasoned. Comfortable setting and nice for just hanging out.

Okay... So this was the absolute worst dining experience I've had in a loooong time. Waited forever for coffee and water, my server was sweet but had extremely dirty nails which made me feel very uncommon and grossed out. The food was lack luster and then she kind of rushed me and my partner out so she could clock out and go home... I'm good on Shari's

They allow the bums to sit in the parking lot, so your car doesn’t feel safe, asked to be seated by the window so I could see my vehicle. He said he wasn’t doing it. They screwed up my order, and when they brought it back, they use stuff from the last plate I was given, terrible service, terrible area to be in, just terrible

It is a wonderful restaurant with great tasting food and fantastic service. Shari's is something I haven't experienced before as I'm from Florida, and there aren't any over there. All that being said, the experience wasn't perfect. The food was fantastic. The atmosphere was horrible. There's homeless people coming in and out. I guess with Portland's culture of politeness, they don't want to be mean to the people. So they try to shoo them off in the most polite way possible. With that, they don't bother cleaning up outside because 5 seconds later, someone will come and throw trash on the grounds. The minimal upkeep, like pressure washing the sidewalk and raking or doing some sort of maintenance on the grass, is not done. I've been here 3 times and love the food, but the place is almost always empty of customers. If I were to guess, I'd say that they are on the hook for the remaining term of a lease. Once the lease has expired, this place will probably close because Steveie Wonder can see it's not profitable. They don't want to close and still be contractually obligated. Of course, this is all assumptions on my part.

Took 1 hour from time we were seated to get food,The waiter told us how much he hated his job after waiting 15 minutes from him to take our order, found a hair on my hashbrowns. Love Shari's but I will never come back to this location.

I had the Farmer's Breakfast and was very disappointed. The eggs were not visually appealing and they and the hash browns were laying in a pool of grease. The pancakes were very heavy and undercooked. The bright spot was the service - the waitress was very friendly and attentive by checking back to see if I needed anything.

This place is sad. Super under staffed and stressed servers, a very seedy area (not their fault of course), burnt hash browns and our orders took forever. We will not be back.

I Walked in at 11:45 am. Just 1, me. Ordered at 11:50. Since I was sat at the booth closer to the kitchen I heard the cook tell the server “order up”. I saw my order on the window for about 8 minutes before it was Brought to me. Received food at 12:40. Toast was very hard, I assume it’s because it sat on the window for too long. Ordered stuffed hash-browns with only light cheese no sour cream or bacon and it was full of cheese to the point I couldn’t taste the potato. Had to get up and go ask my server for butter, server was Trey. When asked for a box to go eat at home, found a black thing in my food. Wouldn’t go back. Staff is Not attentive and doesn’t check in with their customers. Charged $15.49, worst money spent.

We stopped in for breakfast on the way to the expo center. I get short staffing is an issue. It took about 35 minutes to get our food. It was not hot. Breakfast sandwich was greasy and soggy. One order of hashbrowns was way over cooked, the other barely cooked at all. Had I gone into the bathroom before ordering we would have left. It was filthy.

I had the grilled salmon dinner entree, with steamed broccoli, rice, and a dinner roll. It was fantastic! Light and not overcooked! Veggies were nice and buttery, especially after drizzling a little juice from the lemon slices that were also part of the meal. Before leaving I figured why not try a piece of pie, right? The pie barely made it back to the hotel with me! It was the Marionberry cheesecake pie that I tried, which was a first I had ever even heard of marionberry... but it was very good!! Mind you I'm not much of a pie eater, and this has me sold!! Definitely worth a shot for those looking to try it. I forgot my waitresses name, but she was fantastic as well and was very nice which was just awesome.

Literally waited over an hour after we placed our order. Server was apologetic, but we should have been warned that they were short staffed and food would take forever. . . I get it. Short staffed. We were patient, but what sparked this ZERO star review is that after waiting all that time the gravy put on my country fried steak was cold! And when I say cold I'm saying it was barely thawed. I was told they had to make new gravy. . . . . Listen. To make "new gravy" it's cooked. Which means it would have been hot. This was cold which means it was thawed. . I hate being lied to. To top it off when checking out I was asked how everything was?!?!? I tried to keep quiet, but the lady insisted. . . So I concede. Thinking they would want to make it right. . All I get is an "I'm sorry" . . . . . .. AVOID THIS PLACE!

Service is good, food mediocre, at least when it comes to breakfast, everything else barely passable. The country fried steak seems inexpensively made and simply frozen; fried to order. The iced tea is very watered down and mediocre. The location is dismal at best, due, in part, to the number of homeless allowed nearby. The fare is quite inexpensive, but at least in this case, you get what you pay for.

Wow. Our breakfast was fantastic! Fresh coffee, crispy bacon, and my omelet was just right. Wait staff was attentive and friendly. Very impressed and will come back anytime I'm in the area.

I use to love Shari's but they have really went downhill. I ordered a Prime Rib online and got a text saying "they're out of Prime Rib", I then ordered a T-Bone and it was burned so bad I could'nt even eat around it, I was missing items that I paid extra for and I'm really disappointed, because I was so hungry too!

Nice restaurant. The food was delicious. Tomato soup was yummy. BEST PIE EVER! 🥧 . Eggs Benedict was yummy too and so was the salmon. They didn't have vegan options. Fast service.

Great experience and service. Our server Dory was amazing!!! Highly recommend. Dory gave excellent customer service even though it was a short staffed night. She was so sweet and followed every special order to the T. Thanks Dory for making our experience great!!!
