Pine State Biscuits, Portland

You know the biscuits are sublime when Portlanders are willing to wait nearly an hour for one in a Farmers' Market full of food. Now located in a matchbox-sized restaurant, the menu includes innovative and deeply southern biscuit sandwiches, including the Reggie (fried chicken, bacon, cheese and gravy) that has been called one of the best breakfast sandwiches in the nation. Vegetarians will enjoy the Shiitake Mushroom gravy option with grits or hash browns. Though you'll likely still wait a bit on most days and may have to get your biscuits to go, you certainly won't be disappointed.
