Byways Cafe, Portland Oregon

This cozy diner is located in the heart of the Portland District. They have stayed true to their vision over time and are proud to be "nothing to ritzy". Casual setting with plastic booths and soda to drink, this place is great for chilling out in a time that has passed.
 We found out about Byways from the Food Network with Guy Fieri. We went for the famous Corn Beef Hash and Amaretto French Toast, however we missed breakfast, which stops at 11am:(
So we got lunch instead, Joe had the French Dip, with thinly sliced organic roast beef on a Love Joy Bakery (local) grilled baguette, with Au jus. The bread was delicious, crunchy and chewy perfect for dipping, lovely roast beef, perhaps a bit more beef would have been nice, or maybe im being greedy teehee :)very yummy.
I had the Reuben with home-made corned beef, Russian dressing (creamy just like 1000 island), Swiss and sauerkraut on marble rye. It was very good, it was well toasted, and packed with corned beef, slightly dry but not too bad. Each sandwich came with their home-made potato salad, which was perfect, nice celery crunch and creamy mash potato with the skins on! (extra fiber)
So basically we will be going back but we will be setting our alarms a bit earlier next time...
