From service to food to atmosphere, this little joint on SE Hawthorne has everything. Food is simple, but deliciously prepared, the portions are more than ample, and the owners always greet you with a smile. I dine here often, and the food is consistently deliciious and the margaritas are always great. This is a must try spot if you are looking for a casual, fun dining experience.
Pros: Great food for the right price

This is it - the best place to get pancakes in Portland. Will you have to wait? Yes, but it's a Portland tradition, and the food is excellent. Anything on the breakfast menu is worth the wait.

I'm not sure why some of the other reviewers for this restaurant had complaints about the service. Perhaps they mistook "busy" for "rude". There was just the owner and two waitresses when I went, and they didn't have a lot of time to stop and say "hi" and seat you and chat you up. I didn't mind this, it meant that I got my food faster.
As for some of the 1-star reviews that I've read for this restaurant: the owner must have hired different girls, because that's the only explanation for the 180-degree difference between their stories and mine.
I happened to arrive at 12pm, which as it turns out is their single busiest time of the day. So I had to wait about 30 minutes for a table. But once we got seated the service was quick and friendly. But not over-friendly in a fake way: I appreciated that. The waitresses were quick and efficient.
The food...oh, the food. The sliders were so good, and the sauce on it was so tasty, that I didn't need to eat it with ketchup. And I always eat burgers with ketchup. The chocolate malt was so good that I just couldn't stop drinking it once I started. Addictive. I almost had to order another one.
DO NOT LISTEN TO THE BAD REVIEWS FOR BLUEPLATE. It was fantastic. Besides, if it's good enough for Guy from the Food Channel to show up there, it is in the top 1% of all food joints in the United States.
Pros: Great food, fantastic shakes
Cons: Not a lot of seating

After reading the reviews on here (both good and bad), I had to check this place out to make a determination for myself, it being only a couple blocks from the house. I decided to get an order to go, the "special" and a side of fries. As i walked home, the smell eminating from the bag was heavenly. Grease began to soak through the paper and i had to grip the bag from the bottom to keep my food from tumbling out. The special was delicious, a carefully prepared monster with toppings galore, egg, bacon, ham, cheese, special sauce, along with your standard lettuce tomato and onion. The fries were large, hand-cut?, pieces of fried goodness. They were hot, crispy, and cooked to perfection. The service was friendly when i went to pick up my order. And it came with a generous helping of napkins and ketchup packets for my fries. This place was great and fairly cheap. My only suggestion is that you choose wisely when you go. After taking on the special and fries I had to take a nap and was fairly useless for the rest of the day. It is quite a meal. I will definitely be back to stanichs, as soon as my heart recovers from this trip.
Pros: Delicious "special" burger and fries
Cons: A bit of a wait, but not too bad
