    Full Pork Press (Cubano)
    Nakila B.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    High on the Hog

    Loved this place so much that we visited a few times on our 5 day trip. The Peewee was smokey and delicious, and the giardiniera was a nice bright and crunchy addition. We had a Holy Smokes smash which was yummy but we thought it could have used an acidic hit like a pickle or the giardiniera. My favorite might have been High on the Hog. The greens were delicious and a perfect compliment to the flavorful and tender pork. To top it all off, their fries and ranch are also amazing. Crispy and well seasoned fries and *real* ranch. The employees are super friendly and helpful and the dining area has ample well-spaced seating and 2 pinball machines. There are so many great options to choose from that I'd happily try all if I was local. Definitely worth a visit!!

    The Peewee

    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.

    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 .

    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!!!!!

    Hot honey chicken sandwich, holy smokes smash burger, and fries.

    This place is a true gem. From the Food to the pinball machines, this place is my new go to spot when in Portland. The food was spectacular, down to the last bite. Everything was seasoned and balanced well. This is a counter service, so there's no waitress, but you don't even realize it once you take that first bite everything fades away and they're only bliss. The music is loud, but not obnoxious. I will be returning more than once.

    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.

    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.

Entering the shop, you will be greeted by loud music. Be ready for that. You will have the option to dine outside, if the weather provides it and the seats are empty. The hosts are wonderful and very accepting with a positive attitude. Smiles and all. I ordered the Jim because it was the only sandwich I could eat. The majority of the sandwiches contain meat, so I would not recommend this for vegans or pescatarians. Jim was delicious and I consumed both halves of Jim flawlessly. Either hunger overruled me, or the sandwich was that satisfying. I do recommend the shop, but with limited options for non-meat eaters, I truthfully would rate Lottie and Zulas, 4.5. Yet, I don't believe the spot was "good."

We also had the Vinny which was fine, a bit spicier than I thought it would be, but I'm a wimp. The service was fine, not overly friendly but adequate. The food is 4 stars, the service 3 starts, but the real bummer was all the plastic. Plastic container, plastic cups and we were eating in. They asked if it was to go and we said no, but everything came in plastic anyway. The ambiance is quintessential Portland, right up until they bring all your food in plastic with plastic silverware to boot.
