      <![CDATA[I really don't get why this place is so popular. It is over priced, and definitely not a $ price range resurant. breakfast should not be 13$ plus tip unless the food is actually decent. The yolk in the eggs benedict was hard boiled and the service was terrible too. This is the second time I have tried this place and I really do not know why it is often busy. Go here if you want an over priced greasy spoon that will make you slightly sick afterwords.

      <![CDATA[We keep trying to give this place another (and another,etc) chance but it never works. Charging over $10 for generous portions of grease, rude employees with shitty attitudes. How did they even hire this one particular waitress who can&#39;t get an order right or bring coffee, a box, anything but a shitty attitude. I had to get up at least twice: terrible service. Don&#39;t bring kids here. Their $5 fruit bowl was horrible and inedible! OLD, brown and frozen. How do you fuck up a fruit bowl??  Stay FAR away. Didn&#39;t want to even give them 1 star.

      <![CDATA[I can&#39;t see why people would go to the Cricket. The workers are rude, the food is worse than I can make in a hurry, and the place is simply not clean. I guess if dirty bad simple food is your thing - this is for you. Otherwise, there is no need to go.

      <![CDATA[The food is amazing and the weekend specials even more so.. who could not love the grub and crunchy mix of traffic at the Cricket? and you nay sayers who have to wait, get snubbed, and can&#39;t have the table you want, when you want it.. well, welcome to PDX! Every small cafe in this town has this mantra. Come on, if you want mediocracy on your breakfast plate then go to Denny&#39;s cause they deliver that and then some.. Get real and get down to the best little a.m. digs in Southeast to enjoy sun (in your eyes), fun, bloodys, and big plates of yum yums.

      <![CDATA[wouldn&#39;t know what the food is like because I didn&#39;t get past the RUDE GIRL waitress.11a.m. friday jan 11,and we asked politely if we could have a paticular table that was dirty and that was a &quot;NO&quot;,and i thought she was joking and when asked further she gave me the evil eye and replied&quot;do what you need to do!&#39;
Dumb Bitch!

      <![CDATA[I wish the cricket was better because it is such a cute breakfast cafe and within  walking distance from my house... BUT it is not good. Every so often I try going back in hopes that the food has changed, but damn, how much grease can one person put on some freaking hash browns?? The food reminds me of my grandmother&#39;s cooking: a pound of grease/lard/oil to every ounce of food. Even as hangover food, the grease is too much! stop trying to kill people!

      <![CDATA[The coffee, apple bread and various skillets are delicious. The service is fast, food good, wait staff attentive. It is busy on the weekends but what good breakfast place isn&#39;t? It&#39;s the ill attended locations you should avoid. In conclusion, Cricket Caf&eacute; kicks Cup and Saucer&#39;s ASS!

      <![CDATA[this place sucked! i went there on a sunday morning, the place was FAR from packed, our waitress sat us in the sun, didn&#39;t give us water, left us out there for a half hour before coming out to ask if we were ready to order, and when our food came, forgot the forks. we sat there as our food got cold and two other servers passed us, both of which were asked for silverware. the tofu scramble was sub par, and we were given a half of a piece of burnt toast- for 10 bucks. after waiting for the check for another half hour, we got up and left. yeah, dine and dash, bitches.

      <![CDATA[but i&#39;m sorry...waiting in line for over an hour to get a table, then another hour for your food to get there is outlandish. the menu is amazing and huge and greasy and delicious, but there are plenty of other places in town where you can get a seat immediately! go to those places everyone, so i can get a table a little quicker at cricket.

      <![CDATA[I have been frequenting the Cricket for months now and have never had a bad meal. There&#39;s usually a wait on weekends, but it&#39;s well worth it, the skillets are killer and the oatmeal pancakes are to die for!! The liquid breakfast is always a good way to detox via retox in the morning, check it out!

      <![CDATA[While I appreciate the vigor with which they pile on the food at the Cricket, sometimes it makes me a little sick.  I&#39;ve decided I&#39;ll stick with the simple offerings as the Biscuits were larger than a baby&#39;s head and dry and crumbly.  It is a good place for a hangover breakfast, especially if you have them dump gravy over the whole schmutz.

      <![CDATA[Killer food, especially if you&#39;re nursing a hangover. Try the little dish of chipotle sauce- it&#39;s a heart attack in a little cup, but goes great on the potatoes. The drinks list looks fun, but I haven&#39;t tried any- yet. Expect a wait on the weekend, unless you go real early or real late.
