The best fries!! Duckfat serves soups, salads, and paninis, but they are some of the best we have ever had Duckfat also almost always has a line out the door and is a local favorite. They don't take reservations, so we recommend going when they open for lunch at 11 AM, or you can wait in line which moves pretty fast.

This is our favorite breakfast spot in Portland BY FAR. You order at the front desk and they will bring your meal to your table. The best hashbrowns I’ve ever had, they make their own bread and jams, and Troy loves their sandwich options including fried chicken biscuits.
