We live in an other Portland neighborhood, and decided to hit Shari's one night with our five kids. We entered 'Shari's' into our navigation system & chose this one on a whim.
When we got there, we were seated, and served by friendly people. The waiter had no problem getting extra napkins, giving us a booth, or grabbing a high chair & booster seat, among other things.
He waited patiently while the four oldest decided what they wanted, and then laughed with me when I realized that I had forgotten to decidewhat I wanted. :)
The part that takes the cake is, we forgot our diaper bag there. We didn't realize until the following day, and when I called, the person who answered didn't find it at first. After a quick pause, he asked me to describe it, and it was there. We went in to pick it up, and every single thing that was in it (including a watch, etc) was still there.
Anyway, it might be a 20 minute drive from our house, but we will return there.
Pros: Honest, friendly, tasty
Cons: Tad generic. :)
I think the food here isn't of the best quality, but if you're looking for a cheap meal this is the place. The amount of reviews at this time reiterates the comment that I have made.
Pros: Bearable food, Good parking, Not crowded
Cons: Poor quality food
