Since 1979, Banning's has been tantalizing taste buds with its array of delicious dishes, all made in-house from scratch daily. In the 80s, it was a trailblazer as one of the few Portland-area restaurants open 24/7, making it a haven for night owls and early birds alike. Today it stands as one of the best spots in the Portland metro area to grab a slice of homemade pie and sit down to a comfort food breakfast that will make your taste buds dance.

It’s a colorful and tasty way to wake up!

How about the Chicken And Waffle? This isn’t your average dish – we’re talking two homemade buttermilk fried chicken breasts with a golden brown Belgian waffle. And their Chicken and Biscuits? It’s comfort on a plate, with gravy and eggs making it even more irresistible.
