Old-fashioned country cooking meets a modern attitude toward sourcing and plenty of creativity at this Southeast Portland restaurant. The Whole Hog platter features pork three ways: rolled belly, brined chop, and smoked shoulder on grits with Seckel pears. Red wine-braised beef sits on a warm asparagus and spring onion bread salad. Molasses and hickory-smoked duck legs arrive with juniper-braised cabbage and chanterelle mushroom bread pudding. The thick and juicy burger is served on a fresh onion bun with a tangle of slivered onion rings. For brunch, treat yourself to strawberry buttermilk pancakes or chicken fried steak. Desserts continue the homey feel: a creamy pudding trio or Mississippi mud pie. More than a dozen bourbons are available at the bar, always a lively scene. Service is friendly and there’s a kids’ menu on request.
