We all know that one person who is perfect for you and has everything you want in life and you would marry in a heartbeat … but either they are Tom Brady or Seamless Food Delivery or Coke Zero and are totally unavailable because they aren't human (sorry Tom). Well that’s how I feel about Helser’s. Helser’s checks all the boxes of any typical brunch goin’ buckaroo around Portland. Eggs benny, a long list of hangover cocktails, thick pillowy pancakes, delightful sausage and a fair balance of savory and sweet. It manages low prices (most are $12 and under), great service and great brunch. Plus their menu includes my all-time favorite German Pancake, loaded with lemon zest and cooked to perfection. Still hungry? Grab a date for their 7-9 a.m. Monday to Friday specials and split that $5.95 plate of biscuits and mushroom gravy. Warning: May involve deep food coma.
