Description
Everybody Eats PDX was a Black-owned,[1] soul food restaurant that served Cajun and Creole cuisine in northwest Portland's Pearl District.[2][3] Portland Monthly's Katherine Chew Hamilton described the menu as "Southern-meets-Pacific-Northwest cooking".[4]
The brunch menu included chicken and waffles (including a peach cobbler variety) and shrimp and grits. The dinner menu included lamb chops with Cajun pasta, mashed potatoes, and asparagus as sides. The "ultimate" seafood macaroni and cheese had 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 featured a graffiti mural painted by Ray Baxter, also known as Hand of Dogg.[1]

Owners Johnny Huff Jr. and Marcell Goss started Everybody Eats as a catering service in 2016. In May 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the business moved into a brick and mortar in southeast Portland,[6] operating via catering, counter service and takeout.[4] The menu included cheesesteaks, macaroni and cheese, and po'boys.[7]
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 was vandalized in May 2022.[8]
The restaurant's owners supported community organizations including Black Lives Matter[9] and Don't Shoot PDX.[1][2] Everybody Eats PDX closed in 2022.[10]
