Sandwiches were delicious! The green bean sandwich was off the chain. Covid precautions were as good as I have seen. The value for the dollar was hard which minus a star. $13 sandwich is spendy when it doesn't fill you up which knocked the other star off. I'd need to eat 3 sandwiches to feel satiated. It's a good treat every once in a while but not the everyday sammich shop. read more

This place is amazing. The Maple is one of the best sandwiches ever. It has sausage, spicy, cheddar, shaved fennel, and an over easy egg (egg optional) on bread pudding bread. That's right it's bread is bread pudding. The griddle it beautifully. It's a knife and fork sandwich. Noms. Noms. Noms. The Park Kitchen (steak, pickled onions, blue cheese, aioli, vinaigrette) is also very good and the other sandwiches look great, but it's all about the Maple. Go there. Order that. read more

Meat Cheese Bread - My Tri Tip sandwich with chips and soda. - Sandwiches Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I called ahead to order about 8 sandwiches and was told it was going to be 30 min. No problem. I showed up 15 min later to pay and they were done with my order within 5 min. The sandwiches were legit and my crew for lunch was impressed. read more

Order the Cuban pulled pork sandwich. It's great. It's a nice lil no nonsense spot with friendly folks working behind the counter that makes and serves good food fast. read more

Well if you're looking for an overpriced, laughably mediocre sandwich or breakfast burrito look no further! I was really disappointed with this spot. The food here is average at best but what warrants the one star review is the abysmally small portions and phenomenally high prices. If I'm going to pay $11 for a breakfast burrito it better be the size of my face. Unfortunately, the burritos from Meat, Cheese, Bread were about the size of a large carrot. I really wanted to like this place but it's not a serious deli at all. read more

Holy heck this place is awesome. Easily the best sandwich I've had in this city. Good vibes and fun store too. And the gluten free bread is amazing!!! Highly recommend coming here. read more

I can't believe it's taken me this long to write a review. This is the best breakfast burrito in the world. Get the breakfast burrito + bacon + avocado. The guys working here are the best as well. Usually playing some pretty aggressive music and they leave the door open in the winter but that won't keep me away. They are super nice and friendly. I'm sure their other food is good but I'll never try it as I can't pass up that burrito! read more

Call me old or call me slow, but I think a lot of things would be better if they were broken into their main parts. Sometimes, all the extraneous details just make the information harder to process. Like Gloria Estefan once said, "The words get in the way." And Gloria Estefan does not mess around. Here are some examples: How was your day, dear? Work Drink Foot Massage? What is your five year plan? Books Music Drink What should we eat for lunch? Meat Cheese Bread So handy that the little place on Stark provides all the above options along with a few neato extras, such as the breakfast burrito. I don't think a tortilla really counts as bread, even if it's made out of flour, but you need it to hold in the gooey cheddar and eggy-weggs. I would have preferred the salsa to give me a harder punch in mouth, but it also had pieces of bacon so my mouth could not complain. Mouth too full. There were also brownies and fancy-pants candies, including a very tempting bacon and maple chocolate. Now I wish I had picked it up anyway. How did I pass up chocolate and bacon? That's like if someone offered me a foot rub after cleaning out the litterbox, and I was like, "Nah I'm good." Me? Stupid stupid stupid It's not like there's any dearth of sandwich shops all over the eastside, but I'll return to this one. Their bacon sandwich comes with beets. Throw in a beer with that, and that's another three-B goodie Gloria and I can get behind. read more

I just like the fact that this place is near the "vegan mini-mall." Also, the Park Kitchen roast beef sandwich was good. I went here after a hard day at work and I just happened to want meat, cheese, and bread. Therefore, it was natural that I ended up eating those things ALL AT ONCE. Some folks call it a sandwich, but I call it lunch. However, unlike nearby Bunk, I was actually able to go there after I brought home the bacon (though they have plenty of that at MCB). About that sandwich I had: tender steak, blue cheese mayo that wasn't too overpowering, vinaigrette for that added zing. (Oh, and some of that leafy stuff that would feel at home at the vegan mini-mall.) I'd go back there again to get the ham sandwich, or that breakfast burrito that's been raved about. read more

Meat Cheese, Hmm. The wife and I popped in on a rainy Saturday seeking sandwich nirvana. I think we took a celestial wrong turn somewhere and wound up in sandwich limbo. We split the Park Kitchen and the Spicy Beef. While the presentation was great, the sandiwches were overwhelmingly okay. The PK was not bad, but a little bit bland. The Spicy Beef looks great on paper, but the execution was just not there. For almost 20 bucks (!), I know I can do a lot better. read more

Amazing sandwiches. Bread is delicious. Had the Turkey, park, and tomato/basil. All were simple but flavorful. Definitely worth it!

Sure, the name they have now is pretty descriptive. But I think a more accurate name might be "Dope Ass Sandwiches", because that's what they serve. Or to be even more accurate, "Dope Ass Sandwiches And Damn Awesome Breakfast Burritos!" Yeah, that sounds right to me! I am fortunate enough to live just down the street from MCB, and thus far everything I've eaten has been more than solid. The breakfast burritos are one of my pre-hike staples. The default option is stuffed with hash browns, egg, cheddar and green chili salsa and sells for $7. I typically add a protein (usually bacon) and avocado, which bumps the price up to $10, which does make it a sort of spendy burrito. To me it's worth it, but I firmly believe that it's not a meal unless it has meat. Bottom line, either way you get it, it's gonna be damn tasty. That shouldn't overshadow their lunches. I've gotten just plain nasty with a couple of their sandwiches, including their Pulled Pork (roasted pork shoulder with grilled rapini, aioli and salsa verde) and the Sausage Marinara (served with smoked provolone, parmesan and herbs on a toasted primo roll.) Most recently I ordered a barbacoa special. All of these have been messy, but all have also been stupid delicious. I do think the price at MCB is a bit high, which is my only real complaint. I wish the sandwiches came with some sort of side. their pasta salad is reliably delicious, but even a simple side of chips would make me feel like my money was better spent. But still, it's not outrageously expensive so I won't gripe too much. MCB does a great job at what they do, and I look forward to getting my hands and mouth-hole on the rest of their menu. read more

I've said it before, I'll say it again...sandwiches are the shit. It's the truth and you know it, so just don't try to fight me on this one! Meat Cheese Bread makes a good sandwich. They write the names of these sandwiches and other things (like "toast" and "breakfast burrito" and "potato salad") upon giant chalkboards in nice colors for you to order from. What I like is that the sandwiches aren't overly fancy. There are 8 of them. 4 hot and 4 cold. They're not overloaded with 9 pounds of meat, the ingredients play well together, and what you end up with is a delicious sandwich that makes you happy to eat. There's one with flank steak. Think about it. They also have a breakfast menu (including toast, granola and a breakfast burrito) and sodas and chocolates, and when I was there there was also some sort of fudge brownie w/ vanilla salt (seems appropri) The dudes were friendly and a lot of their signs were written killer graffiti-style. I'm a fan. This town is lacking for deli-type places, and this one is a perfect fit. Shoo! Get goin! read more

"Yum." That was about the only thought running through my brain throughout the duration of my dining experience at MCB. Oh believe me, I was TRYING to look around, soak up my surroundings, read the menu board, check out the other patrons, watch the flow of traffic, observe the guys behind the counter... you know, all the stuff we do as Yelpers when we're dining alone and thinking about what our review is going to be. But alas, all I could think was "Yum." The hot smoked ham and cheese sandwich on house made bun (some doughy flavored bun (I happen to be a HUGE fan of doughy buns for some reason) is very, very tasty, and not too bad of a deal at $5. For $8.45 I got myself a smallish but VERY FILLING sandwich, cup of decent potato salad (a little on the vinegary side, but thankfully un-mayonnaisey) and a Mexican Coke (in a bottle). Not too shabby, when I have to pay that much just for a sammich and chips at Bunk. The space is small, with nice solid wooden tables, some cool Klutch artwork (also seen at Pine State), a traditional looking ordering counter, and a large back area that also houses Xocolatl by David. The atmosphere is cozy, bright, and welcoming. I bet it's really nice in the summer with just the screen door going. The service is friendly and prompt. The menu consists of a handful of cold sandwiches, the same number of hot ones (mine was hot), and some soups and other various edibles. They have a fun soda selection that includes fun stuff like Moxie and Mexican Coke. For a funky-drink slut like me, that's a total plus. So maybe next time I stop in (and oh yes, I will be back to try more of the sammiches), I will be able to think something other than "Yum", so I can write a more thorough review. Then again, maybe, as the name implies, it's just supposed to be simple like that. read more

I wish Meat Cheese Bread were my kitchen, so that when I wake up in the morning and scratch my behind while pouring cat food into Nadju's bowl, I could turn around and find those awful nice people smiling at me and encouraging me to order. I like that you're not going to find garden-variety breakfast and lunch here, and there's no pretension when the guy behind the counter gently recommends the green bean sandwich. Green bean sandwich?! You just have to trust it. It works. The menu changes according to what's available, with sandwiches and salads and inventive breakfast items seducing you with their haiku descriptions. They're all amazingly wonderful. My sweetheart swears by the breakfast burrito, which seems so straightforward but must have magic potion folded in with the eggs to make you flip your lid every time. Last time I got the maple, an elusive bread pudding, sausage, spicy cheddar, and shaved fennel sandwich thing (it changes you as a person, ordering something like that.) that completely blew my mind with its weirdness and perfection. You just gotta trust it. They know what they're doing. And the surroundings are so nice you want to just sit in there all day, listening to the screen door banging open and shut and slowly drinking cup after cup of coffee. Hooray. read more

It's raining outside... Need to drive somewhere... Empty stomach was complaining... *sniff sniff sniff* "Did you smell that?" "Yes. Is that bacon?" "Whatever it is. It smells like meat...and food...meaty food." We walked to the destination and they are open... Meat Cheese Bread opened for business since 7 am even on Saturday. We read the menu board and the breakfast burritos sounded really tasty.. $4.75 got you a breakfast burrito with hashbrown, egg, cheese, and salsa. If you had $2 in your pocket, add to that, you will get b-a-c-o-n with it. I must say, it was one of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had. It's fresh, you can taste the potatoes, the cheese, eggs are soft and flaky. The flour tortilla was fresh and crispy. It's simple food just like the name of this yummy place, Meat - Cheese - Bread . I like simplicity and so I love Meat Cheese Bread. read more

I came to conquer 7 days worth of restaurants in Portland during a 3 day business trip. I started by having requisite lunch alone at Clyde Common, where the person next to me (Portland is apparently super friendly - you'd think everyone would be pissed off since it's always raining, but this is somehow not true) was kind enough to write me a very thorough list of Portland's necessary restaurants on the backside of a coaster. Meat Cheese Bread was the final one on the list, and I think it may have been his restaurant, but on the last day I hauled ass in my rental car and got this sandwich on the way to the airport. I had to. It was goddamn magnificent. It was braised pork shoulder on baguette, with salsa verde, grilled broccoli rabe, and some type of aioli. It was unreal. I can't really pinpoint why. It seemed like an unassuming sandwich. This didn't feel overpriced or excessively hip to me. Maybe it's because everything costs $10 in my city, and I have built up tolerance for all the doucheitude that happens in that town. I have paid way more for lunch that doesn't touch my sandwich here with a ten and a half foot pole. Also, it's a big sandwich. I miss it. I resent the local place on the corner for not having it. Portland people have it so good. I hope whoever wrote me that list on a coaster knows how great this place really is. read more

Meat Cheese Bread, you are my SE artisan sandwich shop of choice. Why is that? Because you aren't so in love with pork and beef that you alienate everyone else that might not be so into that. On my most recent visit, I had the Turkey sandwich even with it having a few things that I'm ordinarily not into, i.e. onions, sourdough, bacon. They were more than willing to substitute avocado for bacon, the onions were sweet and bit spicy. The sourdough was sour, but not overbearingly so. The inside soft and pillowy, the outside crusty and delicious. I was so glad that I went in and tried this sandwich because now I know I'll have to go back to try more of them. I've also had the breakfast burrito, which was great with added avocado as well. My only complaint was it seemed to go away too fast. Otherwise green peppers and I don't always get along to well, digestion wise, but they taste so good in this burrito I don't even care. So, great sandwiches, great breakfast, and what else? Really good fresh baked cookies and locally made artisan chocolates that look out of this world. They have really cool art on the walls and the people are friendly and fast. It's an artisan sandwich shop in SE without a line of 30 people out the door!!! All good things in my book. read more

I love the idea of a BLT. It's got bacon, and bread, and some stuff to help you poop sometime this month. But the BLT itself is usually a disappointment. It's tasty enough but it's over so fast, and an hour later you're hungry again. When the BLT (with a Mexican Coke) is $13, the disappointment ratchets up about a star's worth. Especially when there's not enough mayo (you GOTTA have the mayo on a BLT). And it's a counter with some crowded together tables and you have to throw away your own stuff. read more

Don't come here. Don't buy the pork sandwich. Really, don't. Please. Ok, ok, you can come here if you want to try the greatest sandwich in the world. But if they are sold out by the time I get there, I WILL fight you. read more

So I'm opposed to ordering the same thing as my companion. And so when he chose the flank steak sandwich I had to reevaluate the situation. The turkey sounded good, but fairly average, and so I settled on the chicken salad, due largely to the caramelized onions served on it (they're like candy for grownups!). So we waited a few minutes. I noticed the employees looking and pointing at me. It was kindof weird, but they didn't come over to confirm order specifics, so I continued reading my paper and thought nothing of it. Then came the sandwiches. His was TASTY. I envied him. Why do I have such an aversion to copying, I thought. Mine...was alright. There was some chicken salad. and some bread. and some lettuce and tomato and avocado. But where were the onions??? Perhaps if I didn't love caramelized onions the way I do it would be no big deal. But I never would have ordered chicken salad without the promise of those sugary, heavenly threads. I was bummed to say the least. Luckily the boy is crazy nice and offered to go halvsies with me (or maybe he just anticipated that I wouldn't be able to finish two halves and he'd come out ahead either way) so I got to have half the flank steak. Point being, make sure you get the "accessories" you order. And the boy mentioned that the flank steak, while good, didn't taste natural or organic in any way. Maybe they have some kinks to work out still, but had they mentioned that they were out of caramelized onions, I would have changed my order and probably loved what I got. This may seem a tad over-dramatic for onions, but those fuckers are tasty and I was feeling pissy. Bottom-line, if you say something comes with a certain ingredient, ether make fucking sure to include said ingredient, or confirm that a substitution is ok, don't just leave the tastiest part off. read more

Don't get all up in a hissy fit, because I've said it once, and I'll say it again: I'm not really into sandwiches. It's probably some weird psychological thing that started some time during my childhood when I got jelly sandwiches for lunch (I hated peanut butter), and then as I grew up letting it slide as all my friends made me go to Subway with them for a piece of nasty, nasty brown-lettuce-flavored air. To this day, when someone asks me what sounds good, my easygoing self quickly proclaims NOT SUBWAY! And I usually make that extend to NO SANDWICHES...UNLESS THEY'RE AWESOME. And friends, I'm here to tell you that Meat Cheese Bread is that very piece of awesome that I will open my sammy-hatin' self up to. My turkey sandwich was crazy-awesome, and contained the following: turkey (meat), havarti (cheese), homemade rustic sourdough bread (bread), sweet onion (for nice breath), lettuce (for your health), bacon (to counteract the lettuce), and avocado (because I said so). I didn't even need any sides...this was plentiferous and deliciousful! My friend is pretty much obsessed with the mushroom sandwich, which I tried, and was also pretty awesome. Don't get me wrong: These sammies aren't super cheap, but it's worth the dinero. Nice staff, quaint (and adorable) cafefront. You won't have to twist my arm to come here. read more

Why I love this place: They had free bumper stickers next to the cash register when I went. I took one with the cute little drawings of meat, cheese, and bread (their logo) and I have it on my water bottle that I carry everywhere. Everyone asks, "where did you get that?"... "did you draw that?" And I tell them, "Meat Cheese Bread, sandwich shop on 14th and stark..." they ask "oh I've been meaning to try that place. is it good?" I say "not worth it. they're out of these stickers now anyway" Why I say that: I had the breakfast sandwich of ham and cheese "bread pudding" with mixed greens and a fried egg. For a place called "meat cheese bread" those three ingredients were not at all the stars of the show. the bread pudding was very firm and band. The ham and cheese were pretty subtle, and the most flavorful component was actually the spring greens in the middle.... go figure. For a modest portion at a rather high price, I haven't been inspired to go back. However, after reading other reviews I might be inclined to try another menu item with another visit. If they get more cool stickers. read more

Been dying to try this place and glad we did, had the smoked ham sandwich and it was extremely good. Loaded it with the fixins and the staff was very helpful and informative in doing so. We were the only customers but one could easily tell this place is a local hotspot! We'll be back soon! read more

Meat Cheese Bread - The smoked ham! Long story short... Fantastic. Loaded with Hatch chillies and Avacado - Sandwiches Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I'm continuing to eat my way through Portland's many sandwich shops, and there are a ton. Meat Cheese Bread has a well edited menu of four hot sandwiches, four cold sandwiches and a couple of salad options. The BLB (bacon lettuce beet) is worthy of trying to recreate, which is what I'm going to do. The sweet roasted beets coupled with the salty, smoky bacon is a great combo. Panzanella salad is spring on a plate. Grilled asparagus, coutons, radishes, pickled onions, salsa verde and croutons all work well together. In a city of sandwich options, this one skyrocketed to the top of my list. read more

Rude. That was my first impression. Asked if the woman in front of me ordered. He said he didn't know. Rude. Sadly. I couldn't hear what was said over the loud music so he stood there and stared at me blankly. Rude. The joint has a nice vibe too. The menu looked inspired. But such crap service, almost turned around and walked out but it was 3 pm and I was famished. Ordered the Park Kitchen since I had read about it. Tasted like really good blue cheese dressing. Could not taste the pickled onions or the roast beef. No subtlety, no nuance. I really have no reason to go back. read more

Food is about a 3.5 overall. It's generally just above average. The quality is usually good, but I have gotten bad greens in my salad on more than one occasion. Where sandwiches are concerned, assembly and portion size are inconsistent, which I think is kinda crappy. If you're gonna charge like $10 for a sandwich, don't serve me something that's 80% bread, looks like a complete mess, etc. Ambiance is very "portlandy": colorful murals, very loud music, additional outdoor seating, etc. I feel like the space has a lot going for it, but needs to be zoned better. The shop front is small and poorly organized, and there isn't a distinction between areas for the line, pick up/waiting area, and restaurant seating. The result is an absolute clusterf*ck of people, even when it's not especially busy. On particularly bad crowd control days, I have literally seen people's asses hovering over strangers tables while they eat their meals... Although I guess that could make your meal more or less appetizing, depends on how much you like asses. My biggest gripe with MCB is their front of house staff. I've been here probably 20 times, and I've only had a pleasant experience at the till once! There are two guys in particular, who constantly act like they don't want to be there. For the customer, this translates to a condescending, abrasive 'tude, and an overarching feeling that they want you to go the hell away. This is a sentiment that I see echoed in a lot of the other reviews here. I honestly don't understand this part of the business model, but it's almost comical. Like why would you willfully put people who are assholes as the front line for customer interaction...unless you wanted to convey to customers "Yes! We ARE assholes!"? I just don't get it. I never expect to be fawned over in small/hip restaurants like this, but honestly, the attitude from these guys is enough to make me lose my appetite! read more

I wasn't that hungry so I had the PB & J (tiny and perhaps a little overpriced at $4.50), but my dining companion had the Park Kitchen sandwich including flank steak, pickled onions, blue cheese aioli, lettuce and vinaigrette for 7.95. I tried some and that was an exceptional sandwich. Generous amount of perfectly cooked flank steak, great bread too. We can't wait to come back and try the bread pudding. Great menu overall. One star off for the too-loud, annoying and misogynistic hip-hop music telling us what "f*cking ho's" we were. Ah well, can't win 'em all over. read more

we ended up at meat cheese bread even though this was on our list for lunch. we ordered: - breakfast burrito ($7) - scrambled egg, hash browns, green chile salsa and cheddar. the breakfast burrito. this is one of those "don't judge a book by its cover" situations. my first thought after seeing this burrito was "i could make this." my second thought was "this looks so puny." christine and i both enjoyed it. this is obviously not as good as a breakfast burritos found in los angeles but it was still good (with some hot sauce of course). - park kitchen ($9) - flank steak, pickled onions, blue cheese mayo, lettuce and vinaigrette. if you life blue cheese, this sandwich is for you! - steak & eggs ($7.50) - house-made roll, sliced flank steak, blue cheese and a fried egg. it was meh. FOOD: breakfast burrito was pretty good. a lot of reviews said that it was the best sandwich they ever had... not seeing it. good sandwich? yes. best, nah. SERVICE: friendly service AMBIENCE: casual. small, casual place. OVERALL: overall, it was good. i'd recommend this place if you are nearby. i wouldn't recommend going out of your way or anything but you will have a decent meal here. read more

Driving by my favorie sandwich place, Bunk Sandwiches, I notice the line snaking out the door, at least 20 deep. Damn! I screwed up and didn't get there at my usual 11am ordering time. What to do? Well, unbelievably there is supposed to be another great sandwich joint within a few blocks of Bunk. Better skeedaddle over and see how it is. Not a big line at Meat Cheese Bread. Menu looks great. Ordered the flank steak with blue cheese sandwich. Oh, baby, it's good. Tender, rare flank steak with that perfect bite of blue cheese infused into the mix. Very nicely done. Read a review that complained about the expense...mmm, I dunno, these are real quality ingredients at work here. Not yer' 5 dollar foot long fare schlunked together by disinterested monosyllabic knuckle draggers.... These guys are passionate about their food, it seems. Any place that has Double Mountain Brewery beer on tap is a plus in my book, too. Only thing I wasn't overwhelmed by was the potato salad. Was somewhat drier and a tart taste to the whole deal. I am a more stodgy traditionalist when it comes to my potato salad, but theirs is at least interesting and creative. I was going to say that when the line is long at Bunk, come on in here, but when I walked out of Meat Cheese Bread, the line was about 12 deep. But they move pretty fast on the orders. Highly recommended. We are in sandwich heaven in the this district. Bunk, Meat Cheese Bread and the lovable, gruff, but tasty Michael's all within 10 blocks. I love this town! read more

I went here last week for lunch. Enjoyed...Any business that has ALL DAY BREAKFAST scores extra points with me. I had the breakfast burrito and I was amazed how something so simple can taste so good. Their breakfast burrito is a green chile sauce, eggs, cheese and old-fashioned shredded hashbrowns. My mouth waters when I think about it. I think it may have something to do with their ingredients - I don't know why but everything tasted so fresh and flavorful, I was having multiple mouthgasms - no joke! I think the key here is to toast the tortilla. That really put me over the edge. I think this would be a good place to go if you have vegetarians and omnivores in your group, because there is something to satisfy both tastes on their menu. Nice staff too - and good looking! Disliked...Not a darn thing, this place is great! read more

The sandwiches are good but way too pricey for what you get. The soups are good too but again, quite overpriced. I ordered a veggie sandwich which they said had chopped chick peas in it but was actually hummus which would normally be great but it had way too much. Yes, you read right...Nik Z is actually saying a sandwich had too much hummus. It made everything soggy the flavor overwhelmed it. The sandwich didn't come with cheese, which was funny given the name of the place but they were nice about adding it. My husband pretty much said the same thing...that his sandwich was OK but overpriced for how many ingredients were actually in it. If I am paying that much for a sandwich I want a lot of veggies. Lots and lots of them so that I feel like I am full after. My husband is the same...he wasn't really looking for tons of meat but a lot of veggies would have been great. I would go back but wouldn't hurry. I am all for a new sandwich shop in town but I would hope for more ingrediants/fixins. I really enjoyed my soup by the way but was surprised at how small the portion was given the price! read more

Lunch on a sunny Saturday had me searching for something new. I had heard about this tasty sandwich spot from a few folks so I ventured on in to give it a try. The joint is small. They have a few picnic tables out front for good weather. Umbrellas provided at each table. Walk through the old screen door with a well used squeezing sound as you enter. There is a nice large chalk board with their special sammies on the left where you order. Drinks for sale are out on display. They had two tasty beers on tap. I got a nice lager from Hood River. There is a small kitchen on the right side of the place with two hard working sammie ninja masters. The seating inside is small and cozy. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with aioli and broccolini. It was amazingly full of flavor, juice like you wouldn't believe, and it was a total mess of yumminess!!! Loved this one but you may not want to get it on the first date...it was all over my plate and falling off into the plate. Two little girls were with me for a lunch date that day and could not decide on a sandwich to split. The guy said they only do full sandwiches and so although one wanted the chicken salad and the other wanted turkey they both agreed on turkey. When we got the sandwiches they had made them each a half of what they originally wanted. One of the Sammie ninja masters said he overheard our conversation and wanted to make the girls happy. It was really nice of him and the girls were stoked. They told me they would give a five star review :) and that the sandwiches were sooooo good! Win -win for all!!! read more

Oh my.......were we impressed!!! We were just driving around looking for a bite before enjoying the sunny day and found that this one seemed to be well liked on yelp...here I am to agree. I didn't get anything crazy...(sometimes you just want a good ol sandwich). so I enjoyed the turkey which included bacon. I added some mustard to it because it needed a little help and im a mustard fiend..ha. And it hit the spot just right. My boyfriend got the steak and egg sandwich which was amazing! The egg was cooked just right (not too runny or hard) and the meat was very savory. This is also one of those places I wouldn't go to if you're in such a hurry because good food takes time! So grab a beer next door at their sister shop rightfully named "BEER" and enjoy the sun while you wait. Im looking forward to trying their breakfast burrito next because it seems to be quite popular (sad I didn't try it this first time because I was really craving one) but even more reason to go back. read more

so after experiencing the sandwichy goodness, which is Bunk... I decided to see what else was out there in the world of celebre-sandwhich shops.... bringing me ( and my lunch buddy donovan ) to Meet Cheese Bread ) Easy parking on a weekday... VERY pleasant space.. clean, neat, and not at all piled with food and restaurant supplies... about 6-10 tables ( I wasn't counting )... lots of natural light... ... so it's a nice place, enough said about that. friendly folks behind the counter, took my order.. sat down, got my food about 7 minutes later ( this is important if you're working and have limited time )... I ordered the park kitchen ( flank steak, lettuce, blue cheese ) and some kind of roasted tomato soup. The soup was ridiculously good.. the sandwich.. not so much. Like one of the other reviewers says... "Meh". I'd eat there again, but only if I were passing by and starving... it's just too close to bunk not to make the effort to go there. read more

Mmmmm, green bean sandwich.... I have been here a few times and I love the green bean sandwich. You can see why that sandwich was featured in Portland monthly. I should try the rest of the menu, but naah. There are so many places in PDX to try, so whenever I come back here, a GBS is it. Ok, this time, it was an asparagus sandwich. I almost walked away crying, but it was nearly as good. It was by far the best preparation of asparagus that I have ever experienced. The only dings I would give it are the fact that it is too small sometimes and I have been there when angry rap was playing. It is hard to mark down a place for the rap since I was listening to some pretty hardcore punk last time. Call that a wash, but 4 stars it is. But the green bean sandwich will change your life. Give it a try. read more

The atmosphere here is warm and casual, the kind of place you might easily drop into on a whim during lunch hours. Such was the case for me. There isn't much room inside (at best, enough for you and one or two more), so it made sense to get my sandwich to go. I grabbed the BLB (Bacon, Lettuce and Beets) without the aioli or butter on the bread (to suit my tastes). The sandwich was simple but delicious, with thick strips of quality bacon in between two pieces of sourdough bread. The beets were a new twist for me, but were a fine addition (I expect I may even mimic this when I make sandwiches at home from now on). On the downside, coming in at just under $10, the sandwich certainly wasn't cheaper than if I had made the meal at home. On my budget I can't see myself coming here every day, as much as I may want to. Overall a tasty experience; nothing to write home about and not necessarily the most economical choice, but nothing to regret. You'll likely find yourself returning. read more

Instead of Meat Cheese Bread, this sandwich joint should be called Dank. IMO its better than Bunk. Thats saying a lot because Bunk is dank but Meat Chease Bread is the dankest of dank. read more

I hate to give this place such a low review, but I just wasn't impressed. I ordered. Turkey Swiss avocado sandwich and I don't know why I was charged so much? 8 dollars? Am I missing what's special about this place? My bread was flavorless, everything else was dry, mayo was no where to be seen. I was just left feeling like it was something I could of made at home, who knows maybe I ordered wrong? read more
