Portland's Premier Biscuits-n-Gravy per the menu comprises house-roasted pork loin nestled between two savory biscuits and smothered with peppery rosemary sausage gravy; served with Library Fries.
The fries are dry, tasteless. I hope the biscuits and gravy are better. The biscuits aren't the traditional multilayered flaky style biscuits but have a cornmeal like crumbly texture. I'm not a fan of this style biscuit either. Then I taste the gravy. WOW! I could drink buckets. Creamy, porky, savory, peppery, a rosemary punch. This is what gravy of gravy and biscuits is all about. This gravy compensates for the shortcomings of the biscuit. The pork loin adds some protein value in addition the smooth sausage but feels like a fifth wheel. Thin, tender, well seasoned. 4.25 stars.
