chopped cheese
Sam T.

I've been wanting to come here for the longest and have finally made my way to try Bodega PDX. Trying to find a chopped cheese replica that I had in New York has been very tough in the city. The bodega vibe was definitely there. The people making our food and taking our orders were pretty dope. They were pretty fast with the food and even cracked a few jokes along the way. The chopped cheese was great, but a little too salty for my liking. It's probably the closest thing I've had in Portland to a chopped cheese. I'm excited to try their other sandwiches soon.

Really tasty sandwiches. Menu is well-curated and service was friendly enough. Cool store and concept. Will probably not spend $15+ for such a small amount of meat again though. But tasty!

Slathered mayo and mustard on all of the lettuce that was put on my sandwich after I had asked for LIGHT mayo and mustard..
Kingsley D.

I usually love coming here for a sandwich, there was a new person in there today. His energy was ALOT, I asked for light mayo and mustard. It was not light at all. It was slathered all in the lettuce.. it was so much I took all the lettuce out of my sandwich. What's the point of customizing a sandwich to my liking if it's not made the way I ordered it?

Chopped Cheese w/ Parmesan Bread & Johnny Sacks w/ Sourdough Bread

I came here for lunch one day and had one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Located on Foster, this shop has been one that I've driven by hundreds of times but never stopped in, and after trying it, I wish I came by sooner. Bodega is both a sandwich shop as well as a small convenience store/deli, where you can buy other packaged goods and drinks. I got two sandwiches and both were HUGE. You're definitely getting your moneys worth. I got the Johnny Sacks with sourdough bread while my friend got the Chopped Cheese with parmesan bread. I've tried both and while the Johnny Sacks was delicious, next time I would love to get the Chopped Cheese (WITH the parmesan bread!). In the end, both of us could only eat half as the portions were huge (but it was even more delicious toasted in an airfryer as leftovers!). This is definitely a favorite in Portland.

Fun little stop for some quick yummy food or any convenience items. I of course had to come here for the famous pickle sandwich and it did not disappoint. Love the fast and friendly service. Great spot to sit outside in the summer but this is a store and not suited for large groups and tight indoor seating.

Chopped cheese.

Finally had a chance to stop in to try since I pass by here often. Your able to order online or call it in ahead of time. Staff was super friendly over the phone and in person w pickup. Ordered a chop cheese which had mad flavor flav but next time I think I'll get the bread not toasted. The place is stacked w snacks and drinks galore...even cake or tiramisu if ya so desire. Seating is a few picnic style benches out front. I'll def think of this place next time I'm hankering for hearty sammy.

It is a convenience store, or small grocery store which is what Bodega means. The workers are always very friendly. They sell really good sandwiches. They have a New York favorite called the chopped cheese which is delicious! You must have a sandwich from here!

heath toffee and pistachio cannoli

+ lots of unique chips and drinks which I appreciate it. got chinese lays and marrionberry soda. sandwiches and cannoli were good. all they would need for 5 stars is a bodega cat

The Carmela
John H.

I made it back to try another sandwich on the menu. The Carmela was my 2nd choice on my first visit. It was beautiful upon opening! For bread, I went with the Parmesan, but I wish I hadn't. The sandwich was pretty salty, like a muffuletta in a way, but the Parmesan added more saltiness in my opinion. The flavors were almost overwhelming like good salt & vinegar chips, leaving my mouth a little raw or dehydrated. I still enjoyed it! The peppers are delicious on any sandwich it seems. I'll try another sandwich. I did notice on this visit that many items in the aisles don't have prices and that was bothersome. I didn't want to grab a candy bar and hear some ridiculous price.

Adriana with barely any meat. Is that one slice?
Chelsea M.

I've been going to Bodega for years and love it. I usually get the Adriana. And love to walk around to grab a drink and chips. However, the amount of meat on the sandwiches has gotten somewhat nonexistent. I still go, but then I remember when I get my sandwich. It's tough because I do love them but $18 for a sandwich with two slices of meat and lots of bread is a bummer. I guess go and see because the sandwich combos are great.

The improvements of their outdoor space is awesome! Thank you for that, from devoted Crux…read morebeer-lovers. We make it a point to come here when we are in Bend, and now we will stay longer, and come more often. The music playing on the speakers was an extra treat, thank you. Again, made us want to stay longer. Well done, decision makers!

As a big fan of Crux brews I was stoked to see this PDX location open a couple of years back, and…read morehappy to see the creativity, vibe and level of service is still spot on. This isn't one of the fancier brewpubs in Portland (looking at you 10 Barrel and Deschutes) but that's never been the Crux brand so I'm happy to see them stick to their down to the earth origins and focus on making really good beer. The bar is nice and long and a good place to post up for a couple of pints, with plenty of cheery tenders to pour them for you. The space is overall industrial-feeling with tall ceilings and minimalist decor and mostly bare walls inside, but there's also an outside patio area with picnic tables in the parking lot, though that's best in the summer. We got the General Tso Cauliflower to start which was a great share plate, with awesome flavor in the sauce, though the actual cauliflower was a bit undercooked. Still, we polished it off no problem. Fish tacos were also a good call, and the thin, crispy fries were a crowd favorite. There are so many good sours, IPAs and other craft beer options here, my buddy just opted for the 4-brew flight (mostly IPAs) which we all sampled and loved, though it's kinda pricy for what's basically 20 ounces of beer. The one-off vintage 14% special beers are where it's at, but at that ABV level, we just decided to share one barrel aged Imperial Stout. So friggin caramelly and delish - the perfect dessert. The space was pretty quiet for a Saturday night but our service was absolutely next level, so it made for a super pleasant gathering for our small group. The food at this Crux location is probably best described as better-than-average pub fare, but not mouth-watering, and the ambiance is low key but also nothing super special. The beer and the staff though, are awesome, so I will be back for more.

John's Marketplace has a great craft beer selection to go, as well as to drink there. I love that…read morethis place is dog-friendly and it has food carts (with some vegan options) just outside in case you get hungry.

What we personally witnessed today at John's Marketplace was HORRIBLE!…read more There was a very friendly canvasser collecting signatures to help Portland get more police. Well sadly, a couple who don't like police went in and complained about the canvasser. My husband and I had just finished giving him our signatures and out walks the couple who complained about him. As they walked out he asked them one more time if they would like to sign. They said no and actually called him an idiot. I couldn't believe that. Then someone who works at John's walked out and told the canvasser that he needed to leave. The canvasser calmly asked him why and the worker just got angry and threatening toward the canvasser. The entire time the canvasser stayed super calm and polite. The worker told him he was going to call the police, so the canvasser said he was going to walk over and away from their door (we watched him move away from John's). The worker called the police anyway. We asked the canvasser if he wanted us to stick around and he said no and that he's not worried about the police being called, because he knew the police would help defuse the situation. I would bet real money that if the canvasser were collecting signatures for something that couple liked, there would be zero complaints... John's Marketplace has now lost a couple local customers and we will be sharing this with our friends (we were all customers, but not anymore). I would have totally backed them asking the canvasser to leave if he was being rude, but we personally witnessed that he was being completely professional and pleasant. Had the worker not been such a jerk to the canvasser I probably wouldn't even have thought to write this review, but he was a complete jerk when he had to option to be calm and explain his position (the canvasser was extremely calm and didn't need some guy treating him so poorly).

Years later, and I still enjoy Great Notion. When an out-of-town guest asks for some "fun beer,"…read morethis is where I take them. The Blueberry Muffin is an all-time favorite, and even though I get annoyed when they're sold out, it's never enough to keep me away. Most times I get a flight and try a bunch of different things. This location is charming. It has the industrial decor that now feels cliché but was groundbreaking for beer and burger spots a decade ago. With a very large patio and big garage doors, it's great during summer especially. Staff is knowledgeable about their beer, patient while we deliberated, and did us a favor to help the beer travel on the plane. The kitchen is now operated by Matt's BBQ Tacos (which I will review separately).

It's truly disappointing when restaurants and other businesses choose to take a political stance…read morethat makes some customers feel unwelcome simply because of their beliefs or support for the Constitution. My wife and I drove over 30 minutes to visit this location because we were looking forward to enjoying good BBQ, tacos and a beer. Unfortunately, the political signage displayed throughout the windows and establishment made us feel unwelcome, so we decided not to stay. Great Notion and Matt's BBQ Tacos, you've pushed away customers who came ready to support your business and spend money with you. I wish you the best, but it seems you've chosen to operate not only as a restaurant and brewery, but also as a platform for political messaging. That's your right, of course, but it's a direction that may alienate customers who simply want to enjoy good food and drinks without politics being part of the experience.
