38 Best Sandwich Shops in Portland

“Loved the little food cart and the overall atmosphere in the food cart pod. The Scotch Egg Sando sandwich looked impressive but ultimately the deep fried egg did not deliver on flavor (or texture). The bread was also very plain and didn't taste like shokupan.Overall, we loved the concept and menu and would come again to try a more traditional sando!“

“Break Bread was able to cater my daughter's 1st birthday on short notice. The staff was great, super friendly and communicative. Also, they're one of the few places in Portland that offers Dutch crunch bread. 10/10 would recommend.“

“Outstanding sandwiches. I've had thier Chicago beef and turkey sandwiches, and both were enemy l excellent. If you get a whole, it's enough for two meals. Every time I'm in the west side, I will be trying to get a sandwich here!“

“Portuguese muffins are my favorite. When visiting my grandparents Newport, RI, the muffins were always my favorite for breakfast - and in the past I have asked family to mail me muffins on occasion. Lottie & Lula's breakfast sandwiches on the muffins are to die for. I always get a 4-pack of muffins to take home. If you have never tried coffee milk, it is also an amazing Rhode Island treat! ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“A good spot. Lardo is a cool spot in a safe feeling area of Portland. There is ample street and parking lot parking which I love. There is also really nice outdoor seating. I came here for lunch and was not disappointed. I got the Cuban and my partner got the chefwhich both were tender and flavorful. I do wish they had more of a collection of sauces. They only have a hot sauce and a ketchup available for people and I think a unique fry sauce or even a specialty sauce would really add to their flavor profile. The prices are moderate, especially for downtown Portland but it’s not a quick cheap eats place. Sandwiches are about $14 each (in 2024) and do not come with side—sides range from $6 to $12 and their drinks are also a little bit more on the expensive side ranging from $8 to $15. The margarita I had was delicious but pretty small considering it was $10. I love the vibe of this place. It’s not too loud. It’s not too crowded, even on a weekend. The food is reliable and solid. Expect to wait about 20 minutes for your food. This place is kid friendly and a great weekend spot.Kid-friendliness: A chill place that is good for kids“

“Super delicious Italian beef and fries. As a Midwest native, I can confirm this place definitely knows how to make a great sandwich. Really really enjoyed the fries with the zombie sauce as well—love a good crinkle cut fry!Definitely will be back to try more of the menu as the cold sandwiches also looked delicious.“

“I came here for a sandwich but stayed for a cocktail.Both were awesome, but what shocked me was how affordable it was since the price of everything has been skyrocketing. And even then, the rye bread tasted super fresh, and the sandwich was loaded!The bartender was really fast with taking orders and making cocktails and then my food came out pretty fast also. They had a great selection cocktail essentials and local beer and spirits.Looking forward to trying one of everything.I like the giant windows to let in all of the sunlight and you have a nice view of the West Hills and all of the cars sitting in a traffic jam on I-5 lol.“

“Hands down, best service I’ve ever had from a delivery place. It’s 2:00 and my friends and I needed tenders- not only are they reasonably priced, I would’ve payed twice as much for the quality of the food, and the level of service from the owner (who, by the way, personally walked me through the menu and asked for suggestions). I’d pay $30 for these things, and I didn’t even get one of their sandwiches. I will definitely be ordering from them again, and I suggest you do the same.“

“Got an Italian sub for lunch today & it was delicious! Very fresh roll & lots of add-ons. Yum! Highly recommend this shop. A little out of the way( between Vestal on 434 & Apalachin) but we’ll worth the trip. Support local businesses! ❤️“

“The best Philly cheese steaks in the world. They have it mastered! I literally eat here for celebrations and won't eat Philly any place else. Ever! Everyone else is disappointing. The people who work here treat us like an old family friend! Seating available. Great views and glass bottle drinks. In pioneer square. Down town. Can't miss it. Don't miss it. Must try!“

“Is this the greatest sandwich shop in Portland? Almost definitely!Dan and Elise just recently moved their “hole in the wall” deli from the Monatvilla neighbourhood to Sellwood. The new location has plentiful seating in a cool Setting tucked in between other small business. Love the simple retro furnishing and wallpaper plus what has to be one of the best hand painted signs in Portland. I used to live in London and lived on Italian deli sandwiches and with Sebastiano’s they took that concept and made it better. Go for the sandwiches and stay for the wine and cookies “

“I love this place so much! Just went for the first time and got the bacon breakfast sando and my boyfriend got the spicy katsu pork sando and we both loved them!! I was very surprised by how good the breakfast sandwich was, so much flavor and sauce. Still craving this every morning when I wake up. Can’t wait to come back for lunch.“

“I love this little hidden sandwich shack! Everyone working here is so joyful and kind!? the sandwiches are so delicious, packed full of fresh ingredients! I highly recommend this sandwich joint! I ordered the turkey club with curly fries! ??“

“A brief passing glimpse of a “Jawns” sign glowing in the night led us to this joint. We ordered the moment they opened the next day. My husband is from Philly and we lived there for years. We have tried pretty much every “touted” cheesesteak in Portland with varying levels of disappointment. Until now. THIS IS IT. Just bread, onion, meat, and cheese in some age-old, who-knows-what, you-know-it-when-you-taste-it alchemy of flavor that IS a Philly cheesesteak. Thank you thank you thank you. We’ll be back!“

“I LOVE this place! Absolutely my favorite sandwich shop in all of Portland. The staff is always friendly and their sandwiches are BOMB?? I highly recommend getting their special because whatever it is when you come here, it’s bound to be awesome. My other go to favorite is the number 3! Never had a bad experience here and I can’t wait to come back soon and get another Devil’s Dill!“

“The food is delish and the atmosphere is great. The crew is incredibly kind, caring and support live music. I would recommend this place for a bite to eat, catch up with old friends, listen to live music and have a drink. Great service and food!“

“Got the turkey cranberry relish with Brie panini and the sandwich special which was a corned beef, sauerkraut, Gouda and pickle panini. Both sandwiches were amazing and ready for pickup on time. The staff was helpful and nice. This is going to be our new go to sandwich shop!“

“Came here for lunch and was absolutely delighted with their food. Got a breakfast sandwich (avocado + egg) and the bread was perfectly toasted. I also got a wedge salad and it was pretty tasty too. Only thing is that I wish it came with a bit more sauce. But that’s just my preference. Was still yummy.“

“I’ve been coming here for 15 years. And it rocks. Killer prices, nice staff, and amazing food. I drive out of my way all the time to come get sandwiches here, and they never disappoint. You’ll realize how terrible jimmy John’s, and subways are after you go to mo betta. Keep it up, don’t change a thing you guys make the best food at amazing pricing.“

“It's two blocks away. I order and it's ready in 10 minutes to bring home and Chow down on. Unique consept; kinda like a waffle taco. Try it and you'll be back. Once in a while I run into somebody in the park on a bench eating one. I ask them how the waffle is and they don't stop eating but give me a thumbs up. Been meaning to try that in the summer.“

“I’m very excited to have found this sandwich shop. I’ve already been a few times and each time has been the same tasty, high quality sandwich. I highly recommend the Dutch crunch bread as others have mentioned. If you’re looking for a great sandwich in Portland, you won’t be disappointed with this spot. Will most definitely be returning.“

“This is such a great deli shop to go to! The owner is super cool and always willing to accommodate. Prices are pretty cheap, IMHO, with offerings of soups, sandwiches, and salads. There are daily soup and sandwich specials as well. They also have a small selection of cookies , muffins, and cold drinks.So far, I have only ordered the bacon breakfast burrito, which is less than 8 dollars, and it's not your small frozen burrito that just gets reheated it made frome scratch with eggs, potatoes, bacon and cheese. They usually have some already made and ready to go.They are located in a warehouse building with other tenants. Unfortunately you can very easily miss the location if you are not looking for it. If you are in the area, then you definitely should stop by.Parking: Location is within a warehouse complex with several other buildings and companies. So parking is abundant.“

“I was so hungry that I didn't take a photo (oops!). My friend recommended their eggplant parmigiana sandwiches. We ordered for pickup. They were hot, crispy, open and tasty! Service was friendly. They are a cart under a covered area. I'd come back to try the chicken Parmesan.“

“I’ve been coming in here for over 8 months while working in the area, Kyle is awesome he remembers the regulars and their orders and he’s extremely efficient and multitasks as good as anyone I’ve seen! This doesn’t take away from the rest of the staff because they may be the busiest store I’ve ever seen! This is the best JM I’ve been in and I travel the country for work so I’ve seen many! Keep it up“

“The menu is great; it was difficult to decide. The service was timely, friendly and accurate. I ordered the salmon bowl from the specials, and I was really disappointed that it was mostly rice. The garnishes were yummy, thankfully, because there was about ONE bite of salmon. If I go back, I’ll order the quiche because it looked good, and ample!“

“If you are looking for a quick and delicious sandwich it's hard to go wrong with a Bahn Mi from Best Baguette.They are running a very efficient operation. The thing that makes this one different is the amount of warm butter spread in their sandwiches, just perfect. If you haven't had a fresh out of the oven baguette with warm butter spread in a baguette you are really missing out.“

“We have been here about a dozen times and finally tried this stand after only hearing good things about them. My concern was that I didn't want a waffle sandwich that was going to have overly thick bread. Let me tell you that was not the case. The waffle was absolutely appropriate, somewhat toasted so it didn't fall apart and was delicious. This cart has been here forever and I understand why. We got the cordon blue and the Van Gogh along with the hot chai. The Van Gogh was definitely the show stopper as it paired well being more of a breakfast sandwich. We ended up trading half and half to split each sandwich and while I thought the cordon blue was done very well I thought it was pretty rich to have two halves. Very glad we split this. The only feedback is that I wish the Chai had a bit more milk in it as it was pretty watered down. I understand it is a waffle sandwich stand first and not a coffee cart and you should too. Overall this place was great and I intend on ordering from it again. Would spend money here again and you should too.“

“Super yummy Sandos at the Bakers Mark! I ordered the Turkey with cheese and all the toppings and I was more than impressed with my sandwich. All the toppings were good quality and the bread is amazing. Parking is a little hard to find but the quality of the sandwich makes up for that. I cannot wait to come back and try all the other options. You order from a kiosk and you can easily customize your sandwich to your liking. Great place with super friendly staff.“

“This place is FANTASTIC. I got the Torpedo and chicken teriyaki. Food was great. Full parking lot and dining room but I was still served in less than 5 with a custom order. The lady after me was in such a hurry because she had very little time for a break and they got her a chicken teriyaki to go and maybe 45 seconds after she paid. Food selection is fantastic. The atmosphere is really cool. Continued store worth of go drinks ready.They also have an order yourself kiosks and they checked in just to make sure you didn't need help the first time using something like that. You can really tell that this was a place that lots of hungry workers came for years. They still have remnants of security doors from when the neighborhood was not as friendly up here in slaptown.In the 10 minutes it took me to write this review. The place is cleared out and the next batch of lunch time folk showed up. This place is truly badass.Wheelchair accessibility: Is really good Wheelchair ramp“

“I finally tried Gene's Deli after Subway stopped carrying Swiss or cheddar. I wish I had tried it a long time ago! My sandwich was absolutely delicious and the gentleman who took my order was kind and funny. Much better than Subway. I look forward to getting sandwiches from Gene's regularly!“

“Located next to a movie theater, it was a rainy day, but the place was bustling with energy. We enjoyed The Bunk Cubano and the Double Burger, both of which were delicious. The staff were all friendly, and the atmosphere was delightful.?✨“

“This is a quaint, little, unassuming place to eat. If my friend didn't take me here, I wouldn't have noticed it at all! But it's got a nice view of the river, pretty clean, and quick service. Nice owners, and the cook was really good. Definitely worth grabbing a quick bite when you're in a crunch!“

“If the Ninja Turtles ate anything other than pizza, they would eat East Side Deli sandwiches (specifically the Italian). I believe this with my absolute whole heart. East Side is the type of sandwich shop you dream about... it's what every other shop in town wishes they could be. Having a bad day? Get a sandwich. Hungover after yet another failed Hinge date? Get a sandwich, add a chocolate chip cookie and a Mexican Coke. The Staff is unmatched, friendly and thoughtful and I'm pretty sure you can actually taste the love in every bite.“

“I’ve had a few sandos from here recently and am so impressed. #9 is so tasty! Don’t be deceived from the other poor reviews. The sandwiches are $12-15 but are a solid meal and a half experience. Such friendly staff and a killer beer selection. Will be coming back!“

“I been here twice had the turkey sandwich on slice bagel bread the 1st time and the 2nd time I had the tune on slice bagel bread and the mango tea. so far I love this place everything nice and clean and excellent customer service. I will be back.“

“Kinda quiet, friendly and sociable staff and owner. Great sandwitches!Dietary restrictions: sandwiches. Are still super tasty without cheese/dairy.Parking: I've always been able to find parking easily. But there are limited spots.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp to front door.“

“LOVED IT!!! Brought back memories of theGreat Sub Shop sub I had back in the 80's!Definitely will be back. Didn't know there were any "real" Sub Shops around anymore. Really missed that flavor. Yum! I had what they call the Holiday. Turkey with cream cheese, cranberry sauce and lettuce. Hubby had the Full Boat. All meats and toppings.“

“This is hands down the best Jimmy John's location in the entire Portland area. On my most recent visit I was greeted with friendly smiles and waves the moment I approached the door. I thought there would be a line at noon on a Wednesday, but the cashier was too quick! It's like he knew what I wanted! The sandwich crew was firing out sandwiches so freaky fast it felt like they're coming from a T-shirt cannon at a Blazers game. You can tell each sandwich artist really takes pride in their craft. There was such a good vibe in the shop it made me wish I hadn't ordered to go. I even received a hearty fist bump from a delivery driver on my way out. Every ingredient on my #15 was appropriately portioned especially the extra mayo and extra hot pepps. It was so beautiful I chugged it before I could take a picture. Well done Lloyd center JJs“
