Though this place is legendary for its (exceedingly) rude waitstaff, it is also well known for its mediocre food. Put the two together with good music, itinerant people of every shape, color and smell inhabiting the sidewalk outside, and locate all that on the edge of Portland’s compact-but-thriving gay district. You’ve got the most vibrant and unpredictable dining experience in town. It’s really close to the Crystal Ballroom, too. Open 24 hours.
