Reel M Inn

Definitely my favorite dive bar in Portland. Nothing bad to say. The greater majority of the patrons are very friendly. It is a place you will run into people you know. Absolutely amazing fried chicken. Well worth the wait. The atmosphere is much more lax than your typical bar and grill. All of the bartenders work very hard and in my opinion go above and beyond to maintain the whole bar during busy hours while cooking lots of fried chicken.. also there's just one fryer so best be ready to relax and enjoy your time. Love Reel M In Tavern. Y'all rock.

Had this several years ago and again today. It was super consistent, if not better. We preferred the chicken tenders specifically bc it was easier to dip. The chicken legs definitely had better texture and were juicier, whereas the tenders were more dry, but still quite good. We loved the sauces. Chicken tender meal ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ - best for dipping - really good Chicken leg meal ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - quite good but harder to dip - juicy and crispy ❤️Jojo's ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - I like the jojo's more than the chicken --- sauces --- Honey mustard ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ Sweet chili ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ House made ranch ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Take my review with a grain of salt. First off, the 3 piece is enough to fill up one starving individual unless you've got a major appetite. The cost is reasonable at 13 bucks as of 09/23/23! The one thing that was frustrating but wasn't in control of the business (I think) was the lack of support for the bartender. She was working solo on a SATURDAY due to labor issues we keep hearing about. Sheesh. So I waited over an hour to get my chicken becuz of the hype. But I was warned. If this place wasn't so hyped I may not have done that in retrospect. The chicken was sort of mediocre. Like no flavor just crispiness from the frying pan. Fred Meyers fried chicken to me tastes better. It's also a bar so if that's not your thing you might not truly appreciate this establishment! Also the music can be trash (based on your musical taste) since you pay to adjust it!

Awesome dive bar with hands down, the best chicken in Portland. The Jo Jos are amazing as well. The only bad thing is that you have to wait at least a couple of minutes to start eating otherwise you will burn your mouth. The staff has always been super friendly every time I have been there. My friends and I love this place and drive from the Sunset area at least once a month.
