Industrial Cafe and Saloon was a restaurant in Portland, Oregon.[1] Guy Fieri visited the restaurant for an episode of the Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.
Description
Industrial Cafe and Saloon operated in the ground floor of a condominium in northwest Portland's Northwest District.[2] Willamette Week said the interior had a full bar and a "chic concrete-and-exposed-pipes aesthetic" with metal furnishings.[2][3] The small restaurant was reportedly "made up of 95% reclaimed industrial materials",[4] and raised pasture-fed cattle on the owner's private ranch in St. Helens.[5][6]
The American[7] menu included burgers, grits,[6] smoked chicken wings, Hawaiian-style beef ribs, a Reuben sandwich,[8] fritters, salmon cakes, pan-fried chicken breast with spicy bread crumbs,[2] and comfort foods like biscuits and gravy, chicken pot pie, a muffuletta sandwich,[9] and macaroni and cheese.[10] The grass-fed burger was served with bacon, fried egg, guacamole, or deep-fried jalapeños.[5] Salad options included Caesar with chicken, salmon or bay shrimp, as well as a spinach variety with hard-cider vinaigrette.[2]
The "quirky" brunch menu included breakfast salads,[11] egg-and meat entrees, pancakes, and fritters.[10] The Gears and Gravy had two buttermilk biscuits with pork sausage gravy and sage; the restaurant also had a mushroom rosemary vegetarian option.[12] The dessert menu included Ms. Margaret's chocolate-chip bundt cake topped with whipped cream, a tribute to the cook's neighbor from North Dakota.[2]
History
