Canary

"A perfectly cozy, contemporary cut-above the local dive bars (which have their own charm, to be sure), Canary has a cool but not 'too cool for you' energy, a stellar menu, and a really great owner that seems to understand the locals have dozens of options but CHOOSE to come here. Bravo, Canary! Will be returning to get me some of that chicken & waffle love!"

"Canary is simply a gem of a place. The vibe is always so relaxed. The service is always great and the food never misses. My wife and I have had practically everything on the menu for brunch and dinner since they opened. The Canary Burger is one of the best in Portland. Not overly complicated. Just a good honest burger with excellent crispy bacon, well seasoned burger patties, and just enough condiments to get stuff on your face but not too much where you wear it. The fries are crispy as hell however the sweet potato fries are the highlight. The Chicken and Waffles are awesome and don't sleep on their beet salad or any of their specials. Great beer selection and really good cocktails which won't break your budget. This place is a must try."

"I ordered the Chicken and waffles and they were awesome! Chicken was juicy and the waffle was fresh! They offered an additional sauce that blew my mind! Very good food and friendly staff!"

"Chicken sandwich was so good! A really nice balance between sweet, savory, sour, and acid! The chicken and waffles was also so good! The waffle tastes similar to a fall inspired waffle would be with hints of clove, allspice, and nutmeg. Very nice texture fluffy inside with crisp outside. The breading of the chicken is what really makes the dishes stand out, with a nice pepper flavor in there. The music was fun stoner rock. We visited on a Sunday evening, wasn’t very busy two other tables but we had arrived at 7:30pm. I think it seems like more of a bar than restaurant aesthetically but judging on the items it should be more restaurant than bar!"

"I got the spicy chicken sandwich with fries and it was delicious. I came here to work for an afternoon. Various seating options including couches, high tops, regular tables and bar seating. There’s also a pool table. Great customer service!"
