We've only been here one other time and it wasn't bad with quite a few people in the place so we decided to stop by tonight for dinner. There was only one guy working and my boyfriend first said he saw him handle our money then not wash his hands before making the sandwiches (without gloves) for the customers before us. My bf then proceeded to go use the restroom which he commented looked like the place had never been cleaned when he got back. Longish wait (about 10-15min) for two sandwiches to go and when we get home my boyfriend discovers a huge what looks like to be pubic hair on his sandwhich as soon as he opens it!! Beyond gross, mine looked okay but of course I don't want to take my chances. $20+ for two tainted sandwiches we definitely won't be back... read more

Phil's 1500 Subs - Pube on sandwhich - Delis Near Me - Forest Grove, Oregon

I visited Phil's subs last Saturday evening to enjoy a sandwich. I ordered a pastrami with Swiss. It took 15 minutes for my order to be prepared.. and the sandwich came out tasting lackluster at best. Luckily I only ordered a 6" sandwich for 7.95 the sandwich didn't come with any sides or a drink. While I was at the counter waiting for my sandwich I looked across at the grill, underneath I could see that it was disgusting and filthy. Don't waste your time going here if you want a good pastrami sandwich, you will only be disappointed. The owner might want to start having his employees wear hairnets and have the people who prepare the sandwiches wear gloves as well. Thanks read more

Real deal old school subs done right! The only sub shop for us. If you haven't been here your missing out! read more

The ingredients are super fresh, the prices are fair, the payment option is a joke (Cash only? You can get a free card reader from any number of companies). Since my first review, the service has gotten better and better, but the food has gotten worse and worse. Fresh ingredients will get you far with a sandwich, but they're not enough in their own when faced with sandwich composition whose only goal seems to be fitting as much mass on the bread as it will support. The sandwiches always come out soggy, and even the lighter offerings are a gut bomb. I can't recommend coming here unless your only criteria is sandwich, and as much sandwich as possible. read more

Big menu in this fast pace(at lunchtime) local shop. Got help right away at the counter. My tuna sub was excellent. Beware the large is huge! read more

The highlight of trying this place were the rolls, which are soft and delicious. The au jus for the french dip my husband ordered was lacking flavor, but the meat was good, and my cold sub (tuna salad) was perfect. read more

I cannot explain how much love I have for this place! My sandwich is PERFECT each and every time! I've even had them cater for my office, they made it quick and easy! The staff is fantastic and the cool demeanor is enjoyable! To say I frequent often is an understatement! If you've been thinking about stopping by just do it!!! You won't regret it!!! PS- they have daily and monthly specials and a stamp card! PSS- cash only! However there is an ATM inside! read more

Phil's 1500 Subs - Delis Near Me - Forest Grove, Oregon

Ok. Just so you know. When it comes to sandwich places, I'm the king. I belong to every one that has a rewards program and have redeemed whole sandwiches from those programs, in the case of Jersey Mike's: A large sandwich, twice. Enough said? I know sandwich shops I have eaten a lot of sandwiches! In almost every state! Phils 1500, is, dare I say it... yes, it's the best. The very best in everything! Freshest ingredients! Best bread!!! And the friendliest folks on the other side of the counter I've ever met. I'm so happy I don't have to share this place with the world, and it stays exactly the same as it is right now! I can not say enough about this place! If you live in or near Forest Grove, and you call yourself a sandwich fan, you have got to try this place. Customer service and fresh ingredients are alive and well at Phil's 1500! Try the Viking! read more

Great sandwiches and staff have always been friendly here. My favorite.... The Warhead

Do you love quality sandwiches? I know you do. Because if you don't you're a communist alien from planet Kenya! Phil's 1500 Subs is a quaint sub shop in Forest Grove Oregon that not many people know about. Well not many people on my side of the river. It's a bit out of the way. BUT!....if you're heading out to the coast on 26 West, get off at exit 57 and head in to the Grove. Pick up a "warhead" and chow down. You wont regret it. Go a few miles out of your way and eat something that's yummy. The shop itself is pretty small. Has a few arcade machines and a TV that's usually on some sports channel. Pictures of little leagues that they sponsor are all over the walls as are a few news articles. It's a wonderful place to frequent if you're in the area or if you're simply looking to explore a new spot. I enjoy heading out to FG and hitting the sub shop and then go to the antique shops in Old Town. It's soooooo much fun. I'm Frenchie and I approve this sub shop. read more

One of the best roast beef sub sandwiches I've ever had! ... and I've had quite a few. Made to order heated roast beef on toasted wheat... this is the best toasted wheat bread I've had! Where was I... oh yeah... tasty mayo, fresh shredded lettuce & tomatoes, oil, vinegar, salt & pepper Great service & conversation from staff! Warm feeling local community environment look & feel to the establishment. Only catch is it's a cash/check only currency business... it's a lucky thing I had my emergency cash bill stored in my wallet or I would've missed out - No credit or debit cards accepted read more

The only place you will want to go to get a sandwich- no other place compares.. delicious fresh breads, a great menu of sandwiches to choose from, made to order by a fast and friendly crew! Hands down the locals favorite! Oh and don't forget the soup! read more

I have always believed in supporting local business, especially now during these uncertain times. However, when you are constantly disappointed and orders not taken properly it becomes increasingly difficult to support local business. I ask all small business, if you want our support please step up your customer service. We are spending our income that is coming in to help you and your dreams, the least you can do is place orders correctly and not put in additional or ingredients that were not specified. read more

Look at the options here! A private owned sand which shop, pretty rare these days. Great staff, very friendly, and they really care. Anything with turkey is great! You can have it your way. Easy location, right next to Safeway. read more

A great family-style sub house. Friendly staff. Clean facility and test room. Great prices and of course yummy food.

Had the phili with onions, mushrooms with aujus dip..... quick service.... Amazing will be back...... read more

This is hands down the best sub shop in the area! I've been in a few times, and they've got the best customization there is. One of the guys that works there, Rob, makes the absolute best hot subs! Regarding the Cash only/ATM fee, truthfully it's really not too bad of a thing. I understand that a mom and pop type shop would want to avoid external companies taking fee's out of income. Long story short, support the local businesses regardless! Thanks for the great subs as always! read more

Holy moly, seriously one of the best sandwich shops I've been to, anywhere! Bread is amazing, portions are generous and price is right! Freaking delicious! Love coming to forest grove for this stop alone! read more

Highly recommend this place. The 1100 with thousand island is now something I crave all the time. Wonderful friendly workers there every time I come in. read more

Just got a sandwich and 2 soups to try. Sandwich was good and the Mexican chicken corn chowder was good but the African peanut chicken soup was to die for I will be coming back specifically for this soup read more

Today was our first time grabbing a sub here. Let me just say we were blown away. The subs were prepared quickly, to our specifications and the taste was amazing. I love TOGO's and my sandwich was just as good. My boyfriend is from NY and is a diva when it comes to amazing food. His sandwich eclipsed anything he's had since leaving NY 6 years ago. Can't believe I've missed this place in the 10 years I've lived here. Note : only downside is that it's a cash only operation. Understand reasons why, but good to plan ahead. read more

Back in town to visit friends and family, and wanted to stop in to get a sandwich from my all time favorite sandwich place. When I arrived the kid working was cleaning out the microwaves with a dingy rag, I then ordered, paid and he handed me my change. He then began making my sandwich without washing his hands or putting on gloves. Completely disappointed and disgusted. Sandwich went to the dog. read more

Generous sandwiches for a decent price. We love that this is locally owned (so we have been told) and think the overall experience is good when we drop by. They have in the past had lots of staff changes, probably because they tend to hire the local HS or College kids but I'd recommend this spot for a quick sub. read more

Went for the first time today. Our sandwiches were delicious and HUGE! Great taste and value. The employee who helped us was very nice and I enjoyed the local vibe within the restaurant. I will definitely be going back! read more

Any place that is cash only on 2017 is a joke. No I'm not paying your atm fee. . . . . . . . read more

My Mom and I stopped by last Wednesday afternoon around 1PM. We were greeted right away & given the time, it was perfect to stop in at this time. Clean, spread out & I loved that there is a small area for children to play at the front (to left when you walk in) - family friendly! We ordered the #600 (large for $10.50) with numerous meats, cheeses & loaded with veggies. I highly recommend it if you like your sanwiches loaded. Mom and I split it, we were so satisfied. This whole experience was awesome & SOO much better than any other local sub place I've been in the state of Oregon. Give this place a try! :) read more

This place I have missed heavily for quite many, many months. I used to get my fill from Phil's at least once a week when I still worked in F.G. at Ace. The Warhead is not to be passed up. AMAZING it is!! Phil's bread is fantastic -- not too heavy, not to light...Perfect and I especially like the finely shredded lettuce. I'm sure this is still the case, but when I was a regular there years ago, Phil's family employed a lot of college students from Pacific University. This is great. I earned a degree at Oregon State University, but can appreciate the ability to make some cash while flooded with study. I work in McMinnville now and almost every day at lunch I wish Phil's was around the corner as it used to be for me when I was in Forest Grove. BTW: Sorry Phil, but Maryl usually "stacked on" the goods a little bit more than you or your staff did. Wink, wink. Haha. Keep it up you guys!! read more

Every sub is so good, staff is friendly and the value is amazing. Love the bread too!

Phil's is a great sandwich shop. The owners, Phil and Maryl, are daily involved behind the counter, and are clearly interested in a quality product. They have daily specials such as Double Punch day (for your Phil's card), or Thirsty Thursdays (when you get a free drink with your sub). There is also a Business Person's Special that includes a mini sub, a drink, and a bowl of soup or chili. Ah yes, Phil's Three Alarm Chili. Good stuff, Maynard. Try some. And I am a sucker for their soups. Especially the ones they make with "cheesy" or "creamy" in the name. The cheesy creamy bacon potato soup is the ultimate. Be sure to order some extra grilled garlic bread for dipping. There is only one minor complaint I have, and that is they do not accept debit/credit cards. But I simply pop over to the Safeway next door and buy a pack of gum or something and get cash back. read more

The sandwiches here are always top notch! Haven't had a bad sub yet! And the bread is always super yummy! A favorite for sure!

The Neptune is the best thing sliced bread! And every soup I've ever had here (except the minestrone, and that's on me), is incredible! I usually like the special with soup, or the Neptune. read more

My fiance has talked about this sandwich shop for quite a while. One day while I was at work, he happened to come in to scout Phil's for me (I can be pretty picky with sandwich shops). He mentioned that he enjoyed his sandwich even though he didn't have a chance to eat it right away. Today we were trying to decide on where to have dinner and he mentioned Phil's. I had been wanting to try it for a while so I agreed that Phil's would be a good choice. The atmosphere was pleasant, nothing too fancy. The decor is nothing to get excited about but they do have some old arcade games near the door. It was clean and they had several boards listing monthly and weekly specials. The guys behind the counter know sandwiches! They were extremely nice and helpful guiding us through the menu and assisting us with our selection. They were patient too, as I was having a hard time pinning down exactly what I wanted. The wait time was appropriate and the price was right. The large sandwich that my guy got was less than $10 and it was a lot of sandwich. They only take cash so make sure you come prepared. They brought our sandwiches out to our table and we promptly dug in. There were a lot to these sandwiches. You definitely get your moneys worth at Phil's. I only got a small sandwich and it was more than enough. Their lettuce isn't my favorite but next time I think I will see if I can substitute sprouts. My fiance got a Cajun meatloaf sub and it was very well executed. They use a chipotle mayo and grill onions and peppers and it comes together very nicely. They offer a punch card here as many monthly and weekly specials. (My favorite special was the Friday special: "Wildcard" - if you were wearing shorts you got $1 off your sub!) If you are out and about in Forest Grove, you should definitely stop in for a sandwich if you are feeling hungry! read more

I remember going to their place in Murray hill. Took me back. I asked about the MH location and the son of the founder was the guy working and was able to catch me up since they left the MH location. read more

I'm a sandwich guy, and very particular about what I like; Phil's is the best sandwich shop I've ever been to. Okay, granted, it's in my hometown, so there's some bias there. But still -- any sub I have, anywhere in the country, I hold up against Phil's -- and always find the others lacking in comparison. In high-school, my friends and I would always cary a single paper check in our wallets -- our "Phil's Check" -- so we could always stop in for a sandwich without needing to swing by the grocery next door to get cash. Now that I'm older, I've actually kept up the habit, even though I live 1,000 miles south -- it's just a comfort to imagine that, if I ever find myself suddenly in Forest Grove, I could pop in the old joint right away, and ask Phil himself for a large #800 with mustard and medium peppers. Best. Sub. Ever. read more

These guys make some great sandwiches. Its normally the quality of food that draws me to a restaurant and this one keeps bringing me back. They have been doing it for a while so its no surprise that their food is great. Don't be fooled by the modest building and seating what the atmosphere lacks is made up for ten fold by the food. This place sort of brings me back to when food was still new and exciting to me. I typically eat meat with my meals but the Serento is my favorite sandwich here and its completely vegetarian. Impressive selection as well. I'm very happy with my experience and the customer service at Phil's. Keep it up you guys, your a valued part of the community here in Forest Grove. We love you! read more

Haven't been here for a year. Still the same great sub shop it always has been. Used to get lunch here three times a week when I lived and worked in FG. They don't take plastic but they do offer great service and quality. I almost always get the French Dip sandwich. Lots of roast beef and melted cheese and the au jus hot and tasty. And today they had potato and kielbasa soup (their soups are all good but anything with kielbasa is the best). If you are in FG and want a great sandwich then stop at Phil's! read more

Ohh Emm Gee! They finally have an ATM! :) I get the same sandwich every time I go in, the bread is delicious, they pile on the meat, and despite it being weird, they also slather on the cream cheese, just they way I like it! If I want a single meal I get a super small, if I want two, I go with the small. These subs are packed and quite large! Soup and salads are always fantastic! The grilled meat always makes me want to try a different sandwich... Because it smells soooo yummy! Love the fam & friend photo collages on the wall.. Phil, Maryl, and the kids are great and super friendly! Nothing bad to say about the place! Oh, and they have a lil play kitchen and lots of lil toys for kids to play with! Means, the kiddo is busy playing, so I don't have to speed eat before she get antsy! They also have a couple of high chairs! :) read more

ehhh.. nothing great. You want to get swept off your feet here. A sub shop means certain things to most people who have had a great one... soft, fresh baked bread, salty meat piled high and everything else delicious. Been here about 5 times now and safe to say that Phil's doesn't deliver that experience, but the sandwich is good. Better than what you could make at home. Probably, 3.5 stars. read more

My husband and I would drive 50 miles out of our way for a Phil's Warhead sandwich. So good that my husband has been coming here for about 20 years! Thanks Phil! read more

Phil's 1500 Subs - The Warhead. Yum! - Delis Near Me - Forest Grove, Oregon

Very disappointed with Phil's the past few months! I have attempted to eat there about 6-7 times in the past few months and every single time they have been closed early, despite their posted hours. As far as their sandwiches go- they have always been my favorite, however, the past two times I have managed to get an order in, it has been wrong or the sandwich has been half the size it normally is. read more
