Our Guestbook
“ Getting into the Sinful kitchen is difficult because it's small and really good, but very worth it. We try for the bar, as they don't take reservations and we don't prepare well. The food here is solid. I had the brisket Benedict with home fries. It was a daily special, and super good. ”
“ A million stars!!! The service was incredible, the entire menu can be gluten-free and the server accommodated my other allergies with no problem. The food is HEAVENLY despite being called Sinful Kitchen! We got the cinnamon roll waffles and the BBQ pulled pork Benny. The place is also so cute, with paper and crayons on the table for drawing! 10/10 recommend ”
“ The service was friendly and very helpful. This is definitely a small place with only 11 tables, get here early or call ahead. I ordered the hash and eggs as well as the waffle. The hash was very salty and the potatoes seemed like the star of the show. The eggs were good and the waffle a perfect malty flavor. For one person I had the hash and eggs, waffle and ice coffee. My bill was 30.51. ”
“ Fantastic. Stopped by for breakfast while in town. So glad we did. The place is small, but we were lucky and walked right into an open table. Open space, diner feel. Egg white scramble with turkey sausage, potatoes, and sourdough toast. Everything cooked to perfection. The food came out quickly and the wait staff friendly. ”
“ We tried The Sinful Kitchen based on reviews. They have an amazing variety of offerings for people with a variety of dietary needs (no gluten, vegetarian, etc.). They are located in a building with a mural welcoming you to Portland...and plenty of cars parked around it. They do a brisk business! We were seated promptly and our drink order taken. After a few minutes, our server came back to take our food order. My partner got the Maine crab Friends with Benedicts, and I ordered the GF Cinnamon Roll Belgian waffles and chose jackfruit for my meat. Both items also came with crispy home fries. It's a lot of food, and it's good. I appreciate The Sinful Kitchen having an open kitchen and separate GF prep. It's a great breakfast-brunch spot. ”
“ My gal pals and I decided to celebrate getting through our dry January with a little brunch session at Sinful Kitchen. We walked in on a Friday morning and I was a little nervous not having a reservation because Fridays tend to be busy, but they got the 5 of us in right away! We started off by getting bloody Mary's, a bloody Gary and a boozy coffee. I have Celiac so we chose this place specifically because of all the gluten free choices and respect they have! The food was phenomenal! The gluten free English muffin was so delicious and I had to ask where they get them from. The space is fun and funky including a portrait that stares at you in the anyone restroom.Thank you for helping us get back in the swing of life after a month long test of sobriety. Cheers! ”
“ Always busy so make sure to make a reservation or expect to wait a little bit. They do have a bar with six seats that you can sometimes walk in to. The service is always fast and on point and super friendly. They have lots of options for different drinks. They have about 10 different eggs Benedict's to choose from and then some traditional options. They also have lots of gluten free options! The food is great but just your typical breakfast place. I enjoyed it but not my favorite brunch place in Portland. ”
“ Small but cozy breakfast spot with a solid menu of both classic and unique dishes I came here with my GF and her step-mom, and I tried their "iced-dirty chai latte" (which came in a can) and their lobster Benedict. Everything was delicious and came very quickly They also have a paper covering their tables + crayons to draw on it with (Macaroni Grill style) so we had some heated games of hangman & tic-tac-toe as well ”
“ HIGHLY recommend this place! We walked by in one morning and decided to give it a go. It's amazing. Th staff is fantastic and it is a scratch kitchen!! With everything being home made, it was so delicious! You also get a ton of food with your order. They offer plenty of fun cocktails too, but we came through on our lunch break from work. The cinnamon roll waffles are SO good. Perfectly fluffy and covered in whipped cream. I ordered the ghost pepper sausage and it is spicy! As expected. But it was unique and super good, too! The home fries were a favorite for us. They are seasoned so well! Definitely give this fun local business a try! ”
