    We always see the billboard when headed to baggage claim at the Pdx air port but never thought to try but today we did and it didn't disappoint! We had their regular smash burger and it was amazing! Meat cooked to perfection, the bun was soft and toasty. The fries were delicious! If you are looking for a really good burger MUST TRY! Service was also really quick. This will be a burger go to spot when I'm but the airport!

    Update with my "smash burger" review with two photos. Delicious as ever! Service was great Ambiance is clean & relaxed. Still recommending to friends and family! As a matter of fact: While in Portland, got my brother to drive out of the way a bit for him to try Sandy O's. He had the pastrami sandwich and it ! Cheers!

    Jew just picked up some sandwiches from Sandy O's . I ordered the Hot Honey Chicken Sandi. It came with large chicken tenders on it with bacon, lettuce , pickles, and mayo. The tenders were a little dry, but the sandwich was still very good and filling. My friend ordered the Full Pork Press. It was juicy and full of flavor. We ordered our food online and it was tasty for pickup when we arrived. The service was friendly and quick.

    A really solid burger. Who would've thought something on Sandy would deliver like this. So worth it. Great space to sit and eat. Lots of seats. Some games to play. Staff was very kind.

    The Peewee
    Ingrid S.

    I am glad this neighborhood has this restaurant. It's a casual sandwich, burger and salad spot. The parking is really tricky with the entrance and exit on Sandy blvd at the corner of 105th. Once parked you have to walk thru that small lot and turn right on Sandy to find the door. It was filled up around the lunch hour. We got the pastrami sandwich and the Italian. The Italian was really good, it's a chopped sandwich with the best thinly sliced lettuce. The bun was light and went well with the filling. I can't recommend the pastrami, it was too salty and a flavor bomb. I wish it was lightened up somehow. They have pin ball inside and plenty of seating and everyone was really friendly.

    I've been wanting to try this place for a while, and it definitely did NOT disappoint. The sandwiches were delicious, the service was great, and the place is huge -- plus they even have a few pinball machines! Now I'm already plotting my next visit because I need to try their burgers too.

    This is a fairly spacious spot with a decent amount of parking around the corner. My partner and I came around 11am and were able to avoid the lunch rush -- it got really crowded around 12 which was a good sign!! The burger was good and I'd definitely come back. The peewee -- 6/10. Wayyy too salty. Would not recommend. Holy smokes burger -- 10/10! This is exactly what I'd want in a brisket burger fusion. The brisket was super tender and flavorful and everything mixed well together. I'd recommend getting this with a side of fries Potato salad -- 7/10. This was eh. Nothing special.

    Holy Smokes Smash
    Amanda V.

    I'd seen the ads for Sandy-Os around PDX while testing Alaska Airlines' "bags in 20 minutes" guarantee, but this was my first actual visit -- and it was worth the wait. The Holy Smokes Smashburger is an absolute knockout: a perfectly seared ground beef patty piled high with tender smoked brisket. It's rich, smoky, and messy in the best possible way -- the kind of burger you talk about afterward. The dining room is small but full of personality, with eclectic décor that feels both casual and intentional. It's the sort of place where you can tell the owners care about the vibe as much as the food. Service was friendly, and though seating is limited, it adds to the cozy, neighborhood-joint atmosphere. Pro tip: plan on street parking, as there's no dedicated lot -- but it's usually manageable. Overall, Sandy-Os delivers on flavor, charm, and a sense of Portland character. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

    Im a bit of a sandwich snob so I was pretty disappointed with their cubano. It was far too skimpy on the meats and really all ingredients. Most every other sammich in Portland I've tried can easily fill me up with half but I still felt kinda hungry after.

    We needed to grab something to eat on the way to the airport and this place had good ratings. We walked in were greeted by a very friendly fella. He told us some of the most popular items and we chose 2 of them. I got the Holy Smokes Smash with a single patty, smoked brisket, fries, bbq sauce, lettuce, and shaved onion on a yummy soft bun. The brisket was so good. Tender and juicy making the burger a bit messy. It kind of took over the burger but not in a bad way. If we ever come back I would try the plainer Rose City Smash to try the burger on its own. My fella got the Italian Necktie. Ham, capicola , beef salami, provolone, lettuce, red onion, pepperocini, spicy May and vinaigrette on a really good hoagie roll. Delicious sandwich packed full of good quality ingredients. We also shared some delicious crispy fries. I appreciated the extra clean bathrooms! Great place that I wish was in Arizona as well.

    Our first time in Oregon and our first place to eat ! The lady with the green hair was super cool . The vibe was giving twilight with a classic old vibe it was great . The best part was the food , it hit the spot after traveling all day . The were big enough for 2 people. We left happy and full .

    I always enjoy coming out here when I am in the area. The burgers and sandwiches here are consistent and worth trying out. Sorting this visit, we ordered the Rose City Smash and Italian Necktie sandwich with some fries. The smash burger here is excellent (make sure to get a double if you are hungry) and the Italian Necktie was made well. They are also quick to get our the orders as well.

    The Peewee

    Excellent service and a great place to eat! The restaurant is cool with pinball machines to play while you wait for your food. I'm taking away 1 Star, due to the fact that they discontinued their brisket chili fries. Bring back the chili!!!!!

Immaculate atmosphere and the exact sort of thing we were looking for for breakfast. We didn't get her name but saw on the receipt her name might have been Davi, she was such a bundle of light and life, so attentive and kind! She immediately gave us wonderful recommendations which we all adored. The table ordered praline bacon to share (do yourself a favor and get this), one ordered the praline bacon waffle, another ordered the bananas foster waffle, and I got the seasonal vegetable hash. We were all in HEAVEN with what we ordered. From the first bite to the last it we were all absolutely stunned by how delicious and well made everything was. I savored every bite as did my compatriots. One gal ordered a couple things to go for her family (huevos rancheros for the hubby and cinnamon rolls for her kiddos) and our waitress Davi recommended they bring out the cinnamon rolls unfired so that she could pop them in the oven when she got home after a short drive. It was such good attention to detail that felt like such a friendly offer. Absolute superstars, the lot of you. Next time I'm back in Portland I'm absolutely spoiling some friends here with what I can only describe as a transcendent experience.

As i approached the building, I noticed that it was full of people. I fell into the street. I was in and out of consciousness. My heart was racing at the thought that I drove 15 hours and could not get a seat at SCREEN DOOR. As I walked into the building a humble man greeted me. He told me that they would clean off a table for me. WOO HOO. I bursted out crying at the thought that I finally got my seat. As I sat down a soft chair graced my bottom. Beautiful. I looked around and the scenery was beautiful. As I looked at the menu, my eyes sharply turned to the chicken and waffles. Deliciously perfect choice. I ordered my food and got a coffee. My chicken and waffles arrived and I took a bite. I started floating. My soul left my body. I looked down at my body as I floating away, I was enjoying every bite. I reached the heavens. A loud voice said "Its not your time yet. Return and enjoy the rest of your meal." I ascend back to the chair and every chicken and every waffle was gone. The servers were SO kind. I got my check and shead a tear, knowing that was the best meal of my life. Over all from kind servers to and delicious food, SCREEN DOOR was an awesome experience. SCREEN DOOR deserves a 5 star, however I am going to give it a 5 star. I loved every moment. Thank for read my review. Love you.

We are typically brunch people, making it here most often on a Saturday or Sunday for a late brunch. Their benedicts are to die for... truly, they're all wonderful. Their Laser Potato is out of this world. Truly, my favorite item on their menu. It is fabulous in all ways. I often take a side of it home just to enjoy later. We recently tried them for dinner. Their muscles are OUT OF THIS WORLD. Truly, the best I've ever had. This beats living in the southeast on the coast, any west-coast seafood restaurant, and every place I've ever enjoyed in Italy. They've certainly topped the muscle game. Highly recommend Olympic Provisions. I will gladly vouch that the negative reviews are from the haters, just to hate. The overall experience has never been anything less than fantastic. Photos to follow (hopefully, if I can find them! HA!) Enjoy OP next time you're in PDX!

When we were new to Portland in 2018, Mother's was the overwhelmingly first recommendation for a "must visit" with a stern warning to "make a reservation" as we would not get in otherwise (due to its popularity! This was at their earlier location on the corner of 1st Ave and has not changed even in their larger space inside the corner of the Embassy Suites and across the street from the original Voodoo Doughnuts!! Some of my favourites over the years have included her Pot Roast, Meatloaf (in the very convenient "half & half" plate - no sacrifice of one for the other)! The breakfasts are the warm, delicious you need inside to start your busy day or to ride the "el" back up to your room to sleep off the carb coma (from the amazing waffles)!!

There was a short line forming. The large windows give you a sneak peek at the opulence waiting inside. Upon walking in the main entrance, the first thing I noticed were the chandeliers. The inside is gorgeous. The walls are painted various shades of greens making it bright and gives off a soft and natural feel. Given I was dining solo, I decided to seat at the bar located off to the left. It seats 12 comfortably. A big plus for me are the seats. They had a high back and are super comfortable. I could see sitting for hours gabbing with friends. Nice upbeat electronic music played in the background. Loud enough to hear but soft enough that you can hear who is next to you. I ordered the Omelette du jour - Three egg omelette special with bacon, spinach, caramelized onions, gorgonzola and blue cheese. It was fantastic. The first thing that hit my palate was the blue cheese and caramelized onions. Delicious combination. I was happy to see that the omelette was overflowing with caramelized onions as I love them. The accompanying roasted potatoes were cooked perfectly. I also got an espresso martini to wake me up and give me a buzz to start my day. Upon first impression, if I lived in Portland, I would come here weekly. I could see this being the place for brunch with girlfriends to catch up over cocktails.

Between the genuinely friendly hospitality and the flavor combinations, this spot hits it out of the park and is a must for sandwich lovers. Griddled Mortadella (5/5): An incredibly delicious sandwich that perfectly balances rich, salty, and savory flavors. It comes loaded with a generous portion of grilled mortadella and melted provolone cheese, perfectly moistened with a tangy mustard aioli. The fresh lettuce and bell peppers added a satisfying crunch to every bite. Chefwich - K-Town Steak Sandwich (5/5): A limited-time creation packed into a banh mi roll. It had a generous portion of perfectly tender and sweet bulgogi steak that pairs with their melted jack cheese. The gochujang mayo sauce had a subtle and sweet heat, while the fresh kimchi added crunch and slight acidity to balance the rich meat. Elote Tater Tots (5/5): Definitely a creative side dish. The tots were perfectly fried and topped elote style with cotija cheese, pairing well with the smoky chipotle mayo on the side. Logistics Tip: Street parking is surprisingly easy to find in the surrounding area, even on a busy weekend evening. The restaurant has a spacious layout with plenty of seating options both inside and outside.
