Love this place. The food is always good and ready if you call it in ahead of time. The clam chowder wasn't the best but I want to tey the chili. read more

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

See all

If there's ever a chance you find yourself over here in The Grove and are looking for a great meal that's served up fast and friendly, you should stop by Phil's 1500 Subs. Their bread is baked fresh daily and their sandwiches come in standard 6 inch and 12 inch sizes. I rarely order the same thing when I go in. I simply go in and let the atmosphere wash over me before I decide on what to enjoy. Although I have repeated my orders, no one sandwich is by far better than the other one because they are all really good. If you're looking for something other than a sandwich, don't worry, they have you covered. They always have a pot or two of soup available as well as a large selection of fresh salads. Phil and Maryl are known to be great supporters of this community that they have been a part of since 1989, so it's only fitting they make the best sub sandwiches in The Valley. Before you order, don't forget to check out the weekly specials. If you have a competitive spirit, they even have something to appeal to that side of your nature. Walk in, walk to the counter and tell them you're there for the Phil Challenge. If you can eat their 7.5 pound (yes, the size of a newborn baby) sandwich in 40 minutes or less, you'll become forever immortalized on their Wall of Fame. If you try it and fail, don't worry, there's a consolation prize...your name and picture will grace their Wall of Shame! Win or lose, challenge or no challenge, you'll always be treated like family and fed like royalty. Stop by and give them a try, I'd be willing to bet you won't be sorry. read more

Love the sandwiches hate the service and the atm fee. When its busy they should have more than 1 person working. I had to wait for 10 min before even getting my order taken... Just walked out after waiting only to be told it would ve a 15 min wait for a cold sandwich read more

Best Original subs around. go to subway or quiznos for their manufactured experience. This place, piles on the meat and makes it home made. dont let the looks fool you. go here read more

Far better than subway, good prices also great service, there specials are amazing too

Been here twice now and the subs were exceptional each time. High quality ingredients only and the bread is soooo soft. Only downside is cash only and if you have to use the ATM machine there it's a $2 fee plus whatever your bank will charge you. read more

"Subzilla" - Eaten by "Max Carnage" This formerly undefeated sandwich finally met its match. It was a delicious undertaking. The quality of ingredients surpassed any found at a national sandwich chain and was a pleasure to eat...what could be tasted past the first few bites at least. The 8 meats, 3 different cheeses, wonderfully awesome cooked bacon, and standard veggies and condiments in combination made for 7lbs of yum. This challenge is one that "Max Carnage" would happily take on again. We loved Phil's 1500 Sub Shop! Phil and his staff were super friendly and welcoming and so were his customers. This family owned establishment has got to be the place to come for good quality food any day of the week. With delicious sandwiches, great prices, and people who seem like family, Phil's is a place we put high on our "Must Visit" list. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ifp_Xry8oZw&feature=share&list=UUZMaeK3mV2onpZ9RqpvdEJg read more

Phil's is the best, great sandwiches using great ingrediants. Monthly specials are awesome. If you are lucky enough to come on the right month and get the salmon special, it is very good. I would give him 5 stars if he puts in a keg of GUINNESS!! cheers!! read more

Place is dope , sandwiches are quality but wtf no debits card payments. Huge vibe killer to be completely honest. They have an ATM inside though. Still major vibe killer & 25 cent refills. Like cmon . But if you want a nice big sandwich that's good. The warheads the way to go ! read more

Phil's has excellent service. The staff is friendly and courteous, and the subs are delicious! Phil's soft bread really makes the sandwiches amazing! We love coming here. read more

We own a sandwich shop and after work every day I still wan't their sandwiches!!! Try them out! Just wish prices were better!

Phil's 1500 Subs is absolutely the best! With a wide range of choices and probably double the meat than what Subway provides, Phil's is a great choice! Though I haven't tried all 1500 of the subs, their monthly specials are always solid. Though if you are a first timer I would suggest that you get the Warhead. They now also make their own bread, which is out of this world! Also, be sure to check if there is a daily special for bread because it is usually a great addition to any sandwich. Try to avoid when they are super busy as they are a small business and don't have a big staff working at once, except on Friday nights (which is a great time to go as all of their large sandwiches run at only $6). It use to be a hassle when you didn't bring cash because they don't accept plastic, but they now have an ATM and even though there is a $2 charge for using the ATM, they provide you with a free drink and I can't remember but I think you get chips as well. Would highly recommend and if you go at lunch I would have a conversation with Phil because he is a blast to talk with! read more

I usually love small sub shops that aren't chains, but wasn't completely impressed by this one. The bread seemed fresh and pretty good which was a plus, but nothing special about the toppings. I got the turkey avocado, and it was pretty bland. My wife got the French dip and it was pretty disappointing. Bread wasn't toasted, just seemed to have a little layer of meat and melted cheese. Also, I'm not going to really knock them on this, but it would have been nice to know it was cash only. They had an ATM but it's like a paid an extra $2 for my sandwiches because of the fee. read more

Great local sub shop with a hometown feel. The menu is large, as you can get a lot of different combos of sandwiches. They have a very fresh out of the kitchen taste, unlike a chain store. One tip is that they don't take plastic, so bring your cash. read more

Meh. I don't see what the appeal is. What I had was bland, boring and generic. Not worth the price for what it was. The employees seemed to be goofing off a little too much and sorry to beat that drum, but who seriously expects to stay in business with cash only. If your food isn't phenomenal where it speaks for itself and that part doesn't matter, then you might want to consider biting the bullet and getting a card reader. read more

Stopped into Forest Grove and needed a quick lunch. What a disappointment. I ordered the small grilled Flank steak, my husband ordered the large pastrami with sauerkraut. The pastrami was tasty but the flank was a bit dried out. The sandwiches had so little meat, we had to combine all the filling that was in both halves into the bread of a 1/2 sandwich to get more than just bread in each bite. So unsatisfying. For $8, a small sandwich should have more substance. These were mostly bread. Not a good value at all. read more

We love Phil's subs.. We're vegetarian so we always get the 700.. It's always so yummy and the staff are always so nice! We don't live in Forest Grove but make the stop as often as we can.. Keep up the great work! read more

Phil's Subs is truly the best sandwich shop you will ever come across. There are so many sandwich possibilities, soups, salads and even tasty cookies. Do not be afraid to try something new and create your own sandwich. There is an ATM located inside the shop, which if you use you are compensated with a free drink. If you want to try the food challenge, it's tough, but beware, you could end up in the Hall of Shame. This is a great family place, with awesome food. read more

Super delicious!!! And they have some really good gluten free bread, it's small round bread like buns, but if you get two it's quite filling, just make sure they load up the buns. I wasn't excited at first about the size of them but it's tasty and apparently handmade by a local bakery. I come here with my friend and he always gets the turkey cranberry and cream cheese sub, says it's very good and very fresh, and very filling. It's refreshing to be able to get a non-Subway sub sandwich without paying a fortune. The bread is good, fresh ingredients, and they also sell beer! I'll keep coming back! read more

Phil's is a great sandwhich shop. Way better than Subway at the same price. Always have deals, it's hard not to get a discount there. Go with the #400 or the Warhead!! And say hi to Phil while you're there. He's always whippin' up tasty sandwiches. read more

This is my favorite sub I've ever had. Went to college in town and ate one about twice a week (more if I had the cash)! Ever since I left I have been looking for something that could compare and haven't found it yet. 10/10 would go again and a again! read more

Love this place! They make great sandwiches and have quite a variety. Make sure you bring cash though!

I got the Turkey Avocado Cheese. Too plain for my taste (no onions, pickles or any of that yummy sandwich stuff) so I added jalapeños and they were nothing less than bland. I wasn't impressed with the place and I probably won't go back. They need more veggie options. read more

We really like this place. The locals come here for a quick and affordable easy lunch or dinner. The subs are a good size and they are flexible on your change-up's! The little strip mall it is in has some Crunchy Oregon folks who hang out there (the Safeway pipes music out and has tables to encourage loiters!) but don't let the worn in look of the buildings fool you. Not bad at all. read more

This place has been in Forest Grove forever and it's the ONLY place to go for a good sandwich or sub. Their bread is fresh and amazing and every sandwich is so good! My go to is a genoa salami, cotto and capicola, provolone and the fixins (lettuce, tomato, oil & vinegar, herbs) , the prices are great and quality is awesome. Only complaint I have is that it's cash only.... Come on Phil! read more

Phil's is a wonderful small-town deli. It definitely has a local flavor and is a good value for your money. The French Dip is fantastic. Recommended. read more

Very good cold subs! Cash only, but you can get something small from safeway and get cash back, or they have ATM's on site. $9.75 for their large italian-type sub with olives and peperoncinis added on. I'd come back again =] read more

Best sandwiches around. The Warhead is my favorite but I have had many different ones over the 20 years they have great service friendly staff and fun atmosphere. Give Phils subs a try your taste buds will thank you for it. The only down fall is bring cash because the don't take credit cards.. read more

Phil makes the best veggie sandwich...with the veggies even meat eaters like. That is why I put bacon on mine. Even the bread you can eat by itself. I used to drive 30 minutes, once a month for them until I moved to the Grove. Told Phil, I bought the house just for his sandwiches. Yummy! read more

Well after several false positives from the GPS and online (closed, closed, farther away than the map said) I was ready to go to Subway. I saw Phil's on the GPS and checked online to see if it was still open. It was, and not far from the hotel, so I called in an order to go. Kinda surprised it was going to be 20 minutes, but whatever. Went over and got my order that was ready to go. Phone service was kinda bland, but the counter service was very good. I got the Viking sandwich, cup of chili, and potato salad. The chili was fair at best, a bit (lot) too tomatoey with a bit of heat that came from the lone jalapeno slice I found in it.. Their idea of a cup is more like a bowl so I only ate half. The potato salad was just barely fair. Not much more I can say about that. But the sandwich was very good. Nice fresh bread and more than enough meat. I could only finish 2/3rds of it. Nice crisp vegetables as well. Overall not the best sandwich shop I've been to (check out Max's in Auburn, CA or Scott's Subs in Modesto, CA), but definitely on the recommend list. read more

Wow, totally worth it to check this place out! Bring Cash because there are no cards accepted... They beat subway hands down! There steak sub feels like it weights 3lbs! I will be back soon! read more

I really like the sandwiches, here. My wife is from the area and when we visit from California, I have to eat there. I have never had a sub short on filling, meat and flavor. Broke a star off because the cash only is annoying. Also, a rack of hot sauces would be a lot of fun. read more

Warhead is the best sandwich in the world. Their cold sandwiches are 10x better than subway

Phil's is the best sub shop in Forest Grove. My favorite is the turkey with cheddar on white bread. Ask for the chipotle mayo!

Since posting this they have totally cleaned up the dining area!! Way to go Phils! Now your entire establishment reflects how wonderful you are!! read more

Phil's 1500 Subs was absolutely wonderful. It really reminds me of the small businesses in my hometown. The individuals working there were humorous, kind, and a pleasure to talk to. They give a $1.00 discount on sandwiches to Pacific University students. As the person with me was ordering, I realized they only accept cash or checks. While he was finishing up his order, I stepped over to the ATM to pull out cash to pay, and they gleefully chimed in and offered us free chips for using the ATM. They had plenty of options for sandwiches and were more than willing to explain the different sizes and differences in options to me. In conversation, they even asked where we were from, what brought us to the area, and asked about our pasts. They were great conversationalists and were so, so kind and genuine. Once we got our sandwiches, we were sat down at a booth. The sandwiches were delicious and the bread was especially good! You can tell they really care about their community, as the restaurant was decked out in support of children's/high school sports teams from the local area. Many of the photos were old, framed, and held a lot of meaning. Trophies, newspaper articles, and other community photos were also on display. When we left, the woman working there, Maryl, shook our hands and wished us a good day. I'll definitely be going back! read more

Phil's 1500 is hands down the best Sub shop in town! My coworkers and I stop in at least once a week. From the fresh baked bread and endless choices of subs, to the several choices of delicious fresh soup's Phil's will keep you coming back time and time again. read more

Wow, this sub shop is great. Fantastic subs at a reasonable price. Chilled out, small town vibe in the restaurant as well. I live 45 minutes away but am planning on going again the next time I am in Forest Grove. Highly recommended! read more
