About this business
With the aim of addressing the stark absence of quality restaurants offering home-style food in the area, chef and owner Lisa Schroeder has taken the experience gained at the likes of Le Cirque to create wonderfully fresh, bistro-style cuisine in the light and airy ambiance of this old Irish bank building. Breakfast and lunch menus at Mother's Bistro & Bar offer an excellent array of Northwestern specialties prepared to the highest standards. There is more variation in the dinner menu, with everything from salads to pot roas... read more

There is a sign on the wall, "Be Nice or Leave." The staff should sincerely take this to heart. Really bad service from start to finish. I had called ahead of time to ask about a table and was told it was ok to come in at 5 pm. They neglected to say that we would need to sit in the bar. Well, that was ok, but not what we wanted. We had quite a few different people serving our table. All were rude. I don't say this lightly. However, once the food got to our table, it was very good. I had chicken and dumplings which was delici... read more
Great Breakfast – I went to read reviews this morning to see what people were giving great raves about for breakfast before going. I could not believe the bad ones. We have been there many times and it is slower with a big crowd of 12, but ALWAYS great food! This morning I had the Wild Salmon hash, mmm good!! (My wife usually gets it and I take some bites.) My favorite is the Biscuit Breakfast with country sausage gravy. It's not a heavy flour tasting gravy. Try it, its really good.
Best Lunch In Portland........PERIOD – So, I'd been hankering for a meatball sub. I hadn't had one in years, but I was really wanting one. So I get one at a cart by work: fake cheese, cold meatballs, salty sauce on a mushy hot dog bun - inedible. Then Quiznos - yuck, Subway - AWFUL....... so I've eaten 3 meatball subs and all that sodium, carb and fat wasted. So, we're at Mothers and a special is the meatball sub. I order it, but they had just run out - but the waiter says it's amazing. Finally, I'm there on a Meatball Sub D... read more
Good Place – This is a good place to have a drink
Wowzer, Stick To Your Ribs Fare At A Reasonable Price – Friends..."true believers" drug us to this place our first day in Portland...then we started sneaking there on our own...there is a line at breakfast...get there early...Portabella Scramble will momentarily put you in a trance...wait staff is friendly and effective...food is hearty and healthy
Best food, alright staff... – Soooo... I love love love their food, I think it is over priced though... but there is nothing else really like it so I guess the price is worth it. The only negative thing I have to say is the staff seemed snobby, and put off that we were only a party of two... hmmm... like i said, lucky the pulled pork was THE BEST I HAVE EVER HAD!!!!!
Good Food – Mother's is good but I think they are a little overpriced. Their portions are not super big so you must be paying for something else? People say it's amazing so maybe I need to try it again but I'm not sure what everyone is talking about.
Excellent Food – This is an amazing place for breakfast and brunch! They don't accept reservations so you have to show up and loiter on the street while you wait which is never more than 20 minutes on busy weekends! It is fun to grab a cup of coffee and enjoy your morning. The breakfast selections are wonderful and well worth the wait! PS I love Mama Mias Italian food next door for dinner, it is owned by the same people!
God Awful !!! – $16.50 for meatloaf and mashed potatoes … need I say more ? What a rip-off. They buy garbage food supplies ( just ask the owner of the cart across the street … People's Pig … who watches the delivery trucks come to them every morning. He'll tell you what quality of food they order !!! ) Nice atmosphere, food tastes ok but SO FREAKIN' OVERPRICED its ridiculous.
