WOW!!! That is my first thought after my lunch yesterday at Laurelhurst Market. I had been touring…read morethe cathedral of music, at Music Millennium and I asked the gentleman at the counter where was a good spot to eat. He recommended Laurelhurst, and he was right on. I have been on a Reuben kick, and the best remains at Goose Hallow. But this was a close second, as it was great. I had a half sandwich, and I am glad I did, as it was quite enough. I had the Monsignor Murphy, which featured lots of House Made Pastrami, Swiss Cheese, Sauerkraut and Russian Dressing. I typically like a Reuben on marbled rye, as they served it on a Griddled Como Bread...and it was great. I didn't get her name at the order counter, but she was so friendly and engaging as well. Since this was my first time to the restaurant, she was able to provide me with a wealth of information. I will be back...and you can count on that.

My 2 stars is being generous...The four 'Starters' and salads were all great and arrived…read morequickly...Perfect, all....But...(1) All three of our entrees (Waygu, New York, and Flat Iron steaks) arrived about 5° above room temperature...barely warm. All 3 of us quickly noticed... (Maybe they sat in back toooo long as it took a looong looong time for them to arrive after our salads).... (2) I ordered my $71 New York Steak Medium Rare. It arrived...(almost cold as I mentioned)...certainly Medium (or more)... : - ( -- My daughter ordered her Waygu Steak Medium...it arrived (almost cold) certainly Medium Rare... Oh my! (3) The Bravos Potatoes looked great (also not hot)...but to me tasted like an entire salt skaker was poured on it...I could not eat them. (4) We eat out a lot...for decades...and this next one has never happened before (heck..1-3 really never happen either) ...At one point our waitress whisked my cocktail off the table and quickly disappeared with it!! ....and. !! I wasn't finished with it !! .... There was probably an inch of pink drink at the bottom of the glass... Oh My!!...And...a bit later she did the same to my wife...Zoom...her unfinished (expensive) cocktail gone like lightning (wish our steaks would have arrived with such efficiency)... (5) Finally, I've ordered uncountable New York Steaks...but this (almost cold) one was the most fatty...'chewy' one I can remember...and sorry to say...lacked that great N.Y. Steak taste.....Oh...did I complain when waitress stopped by hurriedly to ask how everything was? ... No I did not tell her of any of the above... Why bother. Wait another 20 minutes for another tough, flavorless Steak?...Etc. And like a dummy, I still left a generous tip (Shame on me.) BTW...I am VERY easy to please...but re-read 1 thru 5 above...no exaggerations...I got beat down on my Father's Day Special Occasion...The icing on this cake..I got to peel a hair under $400 put of my 'family treasury' for that experience...(To waitress: Hint...You say, (with a bit of a smile) 'are you done with this?' Or...'Are you still working on this?' You are welcome for that Free lesson that cost ME $400 and a multi-faceted disappointing dinner.

Can I say I am a fan??? This was our first visit trying out anything with the Proletariat…read moreButchery. Needless to say, the last Friday of the month will be now on my calendar for Burger night. We arrived in the rain, it is November in Portland. So the first thing I noticed while waiting In the line outside in the rain, was everyone was super nice and asked if I had attended before. When I said no, folks said I would not be disappointed. Additionally, there was a nice older gentlemen who independently (on Halloween) was walking down the line and offering candy. Thanks for the mini snickers bite! We had a group of 7 of us last evening as we discussed "would this be worth it" as we slowly inched our way to the cashier to place our order. It is important to note, however, that while waiting in line the butcher shop walked the line (often starting at the end which was super considerate) offering slices of grilled sausages and probably some of the best toasted bread I have had. We made it - and placed our order for two burgers and potato salad. While waiting we checked out the shop - and while small, it is cozy and I can see why their classes and dinners draw in folks. They also had wine, beer and other items for sale to drink as well as a lovely self of bottles of wine. The BURGER!!! OMG - Heck yes!!!! Did I mention at the beginning I will be waiting in line on the last Friday of every month. I believe it was a brioche roll, garlic aoli, pickles and chopped onion with the best fresh, grilled on a fire hamburger patty I have had. Oh - and I am a total food snob. I can say this - those were big burgers and two of the guys in our group went back and ordered a second burger to eat. My husband also then raided their freezer for meats for us to bring home and prep ourselves. One of those was a beautiful Tomahawk and I cannot wait to cook it to perfection. I promise I will "not F it up." While I don't want the lines to get longer, I cannot deny my role as a Yelp Elite is to proactively share great experiences for others. So I kindly do this although this is one that I would prefer to keep a secret. Next up - I am signing up for classes!!! It's been a while since my time in CA where I learned to butcher a pig and make sausage. I saw that Proletariat Butchery offer bacon making classes. SCORE!!!

What an amazing place! We went to last Friday Burger Night. We waited inline in the rain hoping for…read morea good burger and OH MAN!!! This was one of the best burgers I've ever had the chance of devouring. They have a process of cooking about 10 burgers at a time so be patient. The burger is worth the time. The flavor melts off the burger into your mouth. The freezer was picked through and a lot of the meat was gone. However we found a Tomahawk, some sausage and they were able to grab us some hamburger patties from the refrigerator. Great, friendly and helpful staff. I will be back again and again.

First time here today! Wow! I love this place. Super friendly as you can see from other reviews…read more And! Very funny, the gentleman, as we walked in, asked if it was one of our birthdays?! Odd, as we were not in festive dress, but it was my partners birthday! He was cutting some amazing ribeye, and that's what we were looking for--he said he got us, and wow. Take a look at those steaks! Selection is good! But, a small place can't be expected to have 100s of items, but everything is carefully chosen and fresh. I'll be back for those oxtails for sure! Also, there was a very wonderful lady there with her fresh baked goods, not sure if that's a regular thing or or a pop up, but shout out to the strawberry pound cake. This is now going to be our regular spot for great meats! As far as price goes, I would say competitive with Gartner's and even some groceries, but this place is special, so you get what you pay for. Oh, and there's a big parking lot in the back, which is great on the busy street.
