This place is 10 stars!!! The service is great! The guys are so nice, knowledgeable of there menu and willing to accommodate if needed.The atmosphere is homey. THE FOOD IS TO DIE FOR!!!. Today was our second time here and it was just as great as the first time. CONSISTENCY in there food flavor and presentation was spot on. They even offer half sandwiches, no one does that. I'm so thankful they do as I don't eat much and hate throwing food away. This is definitely one of our favorite lunch spots in Portland. Thank you guys for providing what every restaurant should: excellent service,great atmosphere and the best place to go have a great lunch made with quality ingredients and love!! Below is a picture of truly the best grilled cheese I have ever had in a restaurant and I can truthfully say

Sandwiches are delicious and the atmosphere makes me feel like I’m at the cottage on Peaks. Service is always welcoming and helpful. Soups are delicious and bursting with flavor. Stop in and say hi to Casey and let him fill you up with a scrumptious sandwich!

What a diamond. We came back to see if the great quality and service was a fluke or if it would be the same. It was fantastic. The corn chowder is so packed with flavor. These are the types of places we need more of. Friendly staff that cares. Local press is a must.

★★★★★ 5.0 Taylor Grieder · Oct 2025

Stopped in to grab lunch to go. Very friendly staff. Not too long of a wait for it being lunch rush and all. Had the Buena Vista and it was great. Was a fun treat to see they had old fashioned glass bottles of Coca-Cola, so got one of those too. Was a great lunch and would eat here again if I was in the area!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Laura Dickey · Jul 2025

Decent sandwiches, hot and cold. The people are super friendly. It didn't blow my mind, but I liked the food well enough. Note that it's just a take out place - no room to eat it. Great logo and shirts!
