I've only been going to the Roxy for a few months, but i can't think of one bad thing about the place. I've been reading and actually have even heard from someone I know that the service was bad, but it has always been good when i have went. Though I have never been there at night, usually just on sunday morning/afternoon as a hangover cure, so maybe it's different then. As far as some of the other complaints I read, I just don't get it. High prices? You can get awesome biscuits and gravy for like 3 or 4 bucks. I haven't really noticed anything on the menu that's over like 8. Closed on mondays? You kidding me, one day a week? How many places in Portland can you go that's open 24 hours any day of the week? The Roxy, is great: Sweet jukebox; Mindless self indulgence, Iggy Pop, Ramones. Cool decor, all the pulp fiction stuff and the giant Jesus crucifix statue on the wall. Good food, I have yet to try lunch, but their greasy breakfast food and coffee is #1 after a heavy night of drinking. All in all, just don't go in there expecting fine dining. It's a cool place in a cool city.
