Dirty Lettuce

Oh my god that is the best seitan chicken I’ve ever had. As a whole, our meal was so good. Would definitely recommend the hushpuppies and popcorn chicken for sure. One note is that they seem a bit understaffed. The person at the front was doing a lot while still being very kind, so please be patient. It’s so worth the wait. 10/10 will be back.

I finally got to taste popcorn chicken as a lifelong vegetarian, and I got confirmation from a former meat eater that it is in fact very accurate in taste and texture. Amazing food, I hope this place sticks around for a long time! The owner/chef was a one man operation on the day we were there, but I promise the wait is worth it. We were so impressed. If I lived in Portland, I would support him regularly.

So sad. After moving away two years ago, I was so excited to have Dirty Lettuce when visiting PDX. I tell all my friends about this place. Unfortunately, times have certainly changed. I can deal with and understand abnormally long wait times for food. However, I cannot understand nor accept poor food quality after such a long wait. Portions were ridiculously small, the greens container wasn’t sealed properly, leaving all the juices to spill all over the contents inside, and the food was only mediocre at best. I wish I hadn’t gotten this so I could remember the way it used to be. This was honestly terrible.

Five Stars! Heard about Dirty Lettuce on a food show and it is def worth the visit. I had the dinner plate - the popcorn chicken is the best I’ve had. The greens and cornbread were the perfect compliment. The owner and chef is so kind and friendly. Will def return.

Food is delicious! I love the popcorn chicken, mashed potatoes, and okra. I normally order delivery but I opted for pickup this time. The service was incredibly friendly! I can't recommend this place enough. I'll be back to dine in soon just for the level of care that was given for a takeout.

Really good fried “chicken” and the sauces are so good! Looking forward to coming back.

All the staff called out and the owner was running the place on his own. Still managed to be super polite and solicitous to everyone and cook AMAZING food. 10/10 genius/humanitarian.

Great food. Obviously the infamous bowl, but also I can’t get enough of the collard greens. Really good. And the space is cute as hell, with good music and cool art by the chef.

Y’all were so kind, the music was perfect (think Buddy Bolden jazz), and the food was so so good.

Walked in to someone being refunded due to slow service and their card wasn’t refunded and the service was also slow af
