Everybody Eats PDX (sometimes simply Everybody Eats) is a soul food restaurant in Portland, Oregon.

Description[]

Everybody Eats PDX is a Black-owned,[1] soul food restaurant serving Cajun and Creole cuisine in northwest Portland's Pearl District.[2][3] Portland Monthly's Katherine Chew Hamilton has described the menu as "Southern-meets-Pacific-Northwest cooking".[4] The brunch menu includes chicken and waffles (including a peach cobbler variety) and shrimp and grits. The dinner menu includes lamb chops with Cajun pasta, mashed potatoes, and asparagus as sides. The "ultimate" seafood macaroni and cheese has crab, lobster, and shrimp mixed with Tillamook cheese sauce, topped with lobster tail, king crab meat, prawns, and a Mexican cheese blend.[4][5]

The interior features a graffiti mural painted by Ray Baxter, also known as Hand of Dogg.[1]

History[]

Owners Johnny Huff Jr. and Marcell Goss started Everybody Eats as a catering service in 2016. The restaurant moved into a brick and mortar in southeast Portland in May 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, operating via catering, counter service and takeout.[4] The menu included cheesesteaks, macaroni and cheese, and po'boys.[6] The restaurant relocated to the Pearl District in May 2021,[1] offering brunch, lunch, dinner, and a full bar.[4]

In September 2021, three people were injured after a gunfight broke out amongst a group of diners.[2]

The restaurant's owners have supported community organizations including Black Lives Matter[7] and Don't Shoot PDX.[1][2]
