One of the best burgers I've ever eaten! the Rose City Burger was absolutely delicious and way too much to eat in one sitting. Servers were friendly and courteous and a delight. Made this tourist feel like at home. I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant if you come to Portland, Oregon. The restaurant was filled with wagon wheels. Old cans , and all things old timey. read more

10/10 and a must try. If you are reading this review, make it your next meal. No regrets. We popped off for a quick lunch before we hit the airport to head home. This is a gem of a restaurant. The decor is an homage to Portland Trail Blazers and lumberjacks. They have some local sodas and beers. They also have some fun arcade games for those with kids. The sandwiches are uh-may-zing. read more

Just moved here but I'm a regular now .. love the vibe and food here !.. pinball machine is a bonus for me !

Delicious burgers and fries with a homemade sauce. Even better the next day. Wish they had an entrance from the parking lot as I'm ambulatory, but for most people the entrance on Sandy is not an issue. read more

Good little sandwich spot near Portland Airport. The pastrami sandwich was really good just the right amount of sour kraut and pastrami. The chili fries were good as well, not greasy. I'll definitely be back here if im ever in the area again read more

Fairly disappointed considering the reviews were high. I got the jalapeño burger and it was SO bland and extremely greasy there was a puddle of oil under my burger. Service was good ambiance was chill. read more

Good... not great. I was in the mood for something light so I went with the Italian Neck Tie... expecting something with at least a little substance... but the meat was finally chopped and delicate and there was a ton of lettuce... not enough vinegar, though the spicy mayo was a nice touch. Left hungry and filled with regret...I should have smashed a burger! read more

Sandy O's - Italian Neck Tie... - Sandwiches Near Me - Portland, Oregon

He took the midnight train going anywhere... Tried to find the nearest place to my hotel by the airport and got here before they closed. Burger was good, wish I had some more sauce on the side for the burger. Order at the counter and grab a seat. They have some games on the side. Ask for the bathroom code if nature calls. Parking either on the street or side parking lot. Nice tunes while you eat. Food coma.... read more

Carried out a necktie and a Luna and a side of potato salad. In the world of what is available in Portland, this is very over priced. They're OK sandwiches, not a $15 sandwich. I got a 4oz scoop of potato salad for $5.00. The portion filled 1/2 of the small paper cup it came in, possibly I was supposed to get two scoops... wasn't very good anyway.,is this place more so a burger joint?! Chill spot, two pinball machines, love the TShirt. Will be back for a burger and a shirt. read more

Yum-O! Stopped in for lunch around 11ish and I'm glad I did ... by 11:30, the line was building. Rose City Smash (double) - juicy and lots of flavor. Everything together made the perfect bite! Chili cheese fried - perfect for sharing, two people max. Lots of chili, pass on the jalepeno for me. Fries held up well to the toppings. Yummy! Husband enjoyed the Reuben and immediately said he wanted to return to try other things off the menu. Fresh ingredients, straightforward service, easy to find with enough parking. Entrance on Sandy! read more

Absolutely DELICIOUS. So glad this place opened in Parkrose! Have eaten here a couple dozen times and each was really great. Fast, friendly, great choices, super satisfying food! read more

Good, but in the end a mixed bag. While my friend was happy with his Holy Smokes smash burger, I was less impressed with my rueben (the Peewee), which was heavily spiced with giardiniera and could have benefited from a bit more sauerkraut and cheese. I took home a couple of other sandwiches for another friend and, again, only one sandwich was something I'd maybe order again. The Buena Vista Socialite, a porchetta sandwich, was solid and flavorful, and likely would have been even better had I tasted it in the restaurant, while the Italian Necktie, meant to be a sort of Italian sub, was soft and mushy. The meats and cheese were heavily diced and mixed with mayo and pepperoncini into a sort of a wet meat salad. Also very spicy. Attractive restaurant, fast service. Bus your own table. read more

After not enjoying much of the food for Thanksgiving during my Portland trip, Sandy-O's was a much welcomed break. Loved everything about it and look forward to coming back. Thank you for being my only bright spot in cold and cloudy Portland. See you soon! read more

Living in Hillsboro getting to Parkrose can be a challenge. After eating here today, we will have to find an excuse to drive across town. A couple of things- they have the best smash burger in Portland. Just surpassed Farmer and the beast for me. Literally perfect. Not even gonna try to describe it. The Italian necktie was great too. Basically a multi Italian meat sandwich, chopped up like a chicken salad. So good! A little heat. My wife got their version of a Philly. Already saying best I've had around here. Literally perfect- once again any description will not do it justice. Great fries and fry sauce. They just passed Lardo and Bunk in my book. Probably a little ahead of Pasture too because of the bigger menu. Great job! read more

The buns are absolutely amazing!! I've had the hot honey chicken sandwich and smashed burger!! Both are great

Good prices, very chill place to have a quick bite. I'm told their burgers are very popular and everything is made fresh in house. My K-town was good and fresh tasting. The sauce wasn't as unique as I expected it to be as it tasted more like a buffalo sauce. Bread was soft with a nice outer crunch to it. The service was quick, much like any fast food joint. It's a little weird having to order at the front, pick up your own food, and busk your own table but yet you're expected to tip... not sure about that one. read more

Sandy O's - Smash burger is an absolute must! It was delicious. - Sandwiches Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Near an industrial area, this is a great place for big meaty sandwiches. Walls decorated with old tools and a life-sized picture of an old trailbazers team (among other things) has a bit of truck stop ambiance. My Holy Smokes smash burger was huge & filling, loved the brisket and pimento cheese. French fries on the sandwich ala Primanti's in Pittsburgh (just a couple.) Had never had a smash burger before--like the crispy edge but the meat itself a little bland. Tony thought his Pee Wee (ruben) was pretty good, but the Giardiniera didn't work. Attentive surface--they called us up for our eat-in burgers and a little later brought Tony his take homes. read more

Sandy O's - smash burger & ruben - Sandwiches Near Me - Portland, Oregon

It's only fair to say up front. I love a sandwich. I'm hot or cold, I love them all. So obviously I'd wanted to try this out of the way little joint since I'd heard about it. Was not disappointed! I wanted everything on the menu but opted for the weirdest one, the pork with all sorts of random fillers. It was a flavor bomb. Epic I also got to try the chicken with red sauce and that red sauce is AMAZING. We didn't dine in but it was cool to see alcoholic options available. Big flavors, great food. Will be back. read more

Sandy O's - High On the Hog - Sandwiches Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I've been four or five times. The ambiance is tidy and interesting. They usually say hello when I walk in and the sandwiches are top notch. We stick with the rose city smash burger, the Italian necktie and the peewee. These sandwiches are big enough for us to save for the next day. The 11yo always finishes his burger tho. Fries are extra but they are delish. I wish they had a rotating special to spice things up a bit. But you can't go wrong when you're on your way to Costco. read more

Great flavor.... But the burgers are small smash burgers, so even a double is tiny.... Definitely NOT a good value.... Don't ask for a tip and then post placards on the tables directing customers bus their own tables.... The retro aspect is super cool.... read more

Quick and easy when you're at the convention center. Great service and food options. I liked the different soup options.

Warning: I'd stay clear between 4:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. as the Westbound Sandy Blvd. traffic is absolutely horrendous! If you're heading Eastbound, there's just no way into the parking lot, and if you're exiting the business, it will take you forever to go East or West. That said, this place is a winner. The K-Town Hero was very good; the pork succulent, the flavor medley works. It's price point is just a tad high. However, the $8 Moscow Mule is a deal in terms of quality and quantity. Breakfast burrito was very good, I appreciate the hash browns instead of cubed potatoes. The soft egg was semi-folded rather than scrambled. The pleasant surprise was the potato salad, one of the best I've ever had! The staff and one of the owners are very friendly, the interior is spacious. If the lot on Sandy is full you can park at Parkrose Hardware. The condiment selection is a little weak, and I didn't connect with the breakfast burrito salsa. The area isn't dangerous, but can be sketch with all sorts of characters that make you clutch your wallet. read more

Despite being the third restaurant to open on Sandy Blvd in the past few years with the word "O" in the name (O'Dear and My-O-My being the other two), Sandy O's stands tall on its own merits. Whereas the other two are dive bars specializing in smash burgers and pub food, respectively, Sandy O's bridges the gap and offers a bit of both, taking cues from the other O's by offering uncommonly good, high quality sandwiches (including breakfast options), as well as smash burgers, in a casual, family-friendly environment. Order a sandwich (hot or cold), salad or burger from the counter, tack on a side, a beer, a seltzer or soda, and grab a table anywhere within; your order will be up in just a few minutes. My wife lasered in on the K-Town Hero right away, while I waffled between about four or five different choices, before settling on The Peewee: a stellar iteration of the classic Reuben, with a few choice improvements. Both were fantastic: the K-Town is a sort of pulled pork bahn mi mashup, which works incredibly well; my only nitpick was purely personal: I would have added more pickled jalapenos, but hey, it wasn't my sandwich, was it? Meanwhile, my Peewee was one of the best Reuben's I've ever had, being comparable to the undefeated champion served up at the Goose Hollow Inn across town. Usually I sub out the rye bread for sourdough (blasphemy, I know!), but this was one occasion where I felt it actually complimented, rather than detracted, from the sandwich. Awesome! Service was similarly fantastic: personable, efficient, and helpful. The gentleman at the counter helped me decide on my final choice of sandwich, if only just barely, ensuring that I will be back to try out the SS Adamant, Italian Necktie, Crusty Bird, and several of the smash burgers, in the near future. Having this place two blocks from home is going to be exceedingly dangerous to my wallet. I'm starting to think we're getting a little spoiled out here on the east side, when it comes to quality dining options! Parkrose is finally starting to transform into a *destination*, instead of a place where most people roll up the windows and lock the doors while passing through, and places like Sandy O's are one of the most important factors in effecting that positive change. So the next time you find yourself hungry, and in the area, stop in and show them your O face! You'll be glad you did, and so will they! read more

Burgers are good! We both got the Rose City Smashburgers, a side of fries, and a potato salad. Service is order and pickup, bus your own table which I don't mind at a quick bite. Inside is clean and spacious, bathrooms are well kept. Flavor was nice and price point was just about even with comparable places. I'd for sure come back to try a sandwich! read more

Fan of reverend bbq and laurelhurst market. So went to get a sandwich with my wife. Similar to LM there are not many vegetarian options for my wife. Veggie sandwich was disappointing - maybe use a smoked tempeh or tofu as a base for a veggie rueben or melt. My pastrami sando was big and had a nice crunch from brunoise of carrot with good smoke flavor altho a little dry and salty from the griddle. I would go back but they need more veggie options. Its Portland remember... read more

Great food great service, great menu! The best fries I ever had! They are still crispy the next day! read more

The Peewee. One of the best pastrami Sammie's I've ever had. Fresh and hot, it's a little spicy, it's perfectly peppery, the rye bread is just about perfect. Definitely recommend the heck outta this one. The fries were really good seasoned fries, crispy fresh and hot. The BLT was pretty much as you'd expect a BLT to be. Not sure I'd order this one, it's just like the one you make at home, but it was next to two other crazy dishes. The service was casual and their call in orders keep them hopping. Fun little table area, clean enough, not too bad for self bussing. read more

I live in the neighborhood and decided to give it several months before trying.. I figured if they were able to stick around, it'd be worth a shot. Today, I was pleasantly surprised! It was really busy inside the restaurant, which is usually a good sign. Lots of construction guys so that was a positive indicator that they had good food, and fast. Ordered the Italian necktie to go. It was delicious! Fairly priced at $13 and it came out fast enough. When you compare it to the other fast food options nearby asking the same prices for sandwiches and burgers, I definitely prefer to support local. Only complaint is I wish they'd offer a bag of chips with the sandwich or something. With how much of the "bulk" ends up falling out, it'd be nice to have something other than my fingers to scoop it with. I'm impressed, I'll be back! :) read more

A refreshing change for the Parkrose neighborhood! Thank you for taking a chance on us. The neighborhood still a little rough around the edges but I am so glad you moved here. We heard good things so we thought we would give it a try. The restaurant is placed in a cavernous space. My hubby says it was one of those over-priced rent-to-own places. I would have guessed a service garage. That doesn't matter. What matters is they deliver a unique set of sandwiches with their personal spin on it. Staff are friendly and chefs in the back do their magic in a large, open commercial kitchen. I had the peewee and was quite impressed with the lean house-smoked pastrami with all the fixings. My hubby had a smash burger and devoured it. I prefer old-school French fries to their "battered" fries. They were okay, just not to my liking by we ate them. We noticed they have breakfast burritos and we want to try them out. They are only offered from 10 to noon. I hope they decide to expand the hours for those! They do have a small parking lot on the east side of the building. It's okay but feels really detached from the space, and out of sight once you are inside. It's a modern, clean and comfortable local business that deserves our support. read more

We ordered the PeeWee , Italian necktie, and double smashburger. They seemed busy; we waited about 30-40 minutes. It was fine though, they played good music, have a pinball machine, and cool basketball decor. The Peewee was just okay, but I know good pastrami from San Francisco and now it's hard to meet those expectations. However, the bread was perfectly crunchy yet soft and buttery. The Italian necktie had a great secret sauce (tasted almost like tartare sauce) and the meat was finely chopped so it wasn't too messy, and I got a bit of everything in each bite. The smashburger was probably the better of all the sandwiches. I wished they put tomatoes and pickles but still was good. The bun was soft and fluffy and it was a good greasy burger to heal the hangover. The pickled jalapeños are not spicy :/ read more

This sandwich is pretty good, I got the High on the Hog and hubby got the Italian Neck Tie. We came in at 430 and the place was empty which was nice for us.

I tried this place on a whim as we were in the area. It was a great and quick option. They had a variety of sandwich options. We split two sandwiches but honestly could've done one and been fine. The size is generous and insanely delicious. They were super friendly and nice with any questions we had. They have their own parking lot which was perfect as the area can be a little snug. Highly highly recommend if you're in the area. read more

I had Liberty Bell cheesesteak sandwich. The bread has a nice crispy crust crunch, and a great "bite". The steak is tender, well seasoned, and no gristle. The cheese, onions and peppers, and sauce all make for a flavorful and balanced sandwich. Fourteen tables with two and four sets. It has a rustic feel to it. I found it inviting. I was there at 10:30. I didn't expect it to be busy, and it wasn't. My food was delivered to my table quickly. Friendly and helpful staff. I will definitely come here again. read more
