I had been on the road and did not have a proper breakfast or lunch (7/8/26). I'm glad I did not succumb to a Costco hot dog or a Jersey Mike's sub during a brief stop in Ridgefield, WA. Thanks to the helpful Yelp app, I was able to select Walter French's for gps directions and continued onward to Portland. Good parking karma, as I was able to snag a parking spot right by the Alberta Arts food truck pod entrance. Very nice and welcoming person greeted me at the window. I ordered the #2 Big Dom with Olympic Provisions salami cotto & capicola, ham, provolone, shrettuce, tomato, onions, red wine vinaigrette, mayo, oregano all encased in a hoagie roll. I requested for no cherry pepper relish and banana peppers. I was glad that the generous sandwich was nicely wrapped, sliced in half, and placed in a compostable container. I ate half onsite since there was outdoor seating availability. The other half I ended up placing in my hotel room's fridge. I ended up gutting that latter half two days later and ate the meat/cheese/tomato - charcuterie style. Perfect protein snack at a rest stop detour before continuing homeward bound. Revisiting Portland after two years and this was my first stop! The Big Dom hit the spot! read more

Majorly sad they switched out the bread. They used to be the best sandwich worth traveling for when they used the sesame hoagie roll. They switched to something else that just isn't as good. It's not as soft and fluffy, it doesn't have that yummy sesame-ness, and the sandwich is seemingly smaller. BRING BACK THE OG BREAD!!! You said yourself it can't be the best without using the best. read more

Friendly owners and the cutest food cart name and logo! I tried the PCT. The bread was fresh, the sandwich was massive! Nice lettuce shred! If you need a sandwich this is your place. read more

Amazing Sandwich alert! We went at peak rush hour so we had cake ready for a bit of a wait. We were greeted with friendly customer service right from the start and didn't have to wait long to get our order in and for our food to come out. I ordered the Big Dom and that sandwich is packed with flavor! Fresh bread, thin sliced lunch meat, and crisp yellow peppers all backed by an incredible cherry pepper relish that was out of this world! I seriously need to get the relish just to have with crackers, it was so damn good! We also each got some homemade lemonade and it was so refreshing on what was a warm day! It's in a small little food cart pod with outdoor seating. Will definitely eat here again! read more

One of the best sandwiches I've had in Portland! That relish sauce is phenomenal and must be studied. All the ingredients work well together and the bread was fresh. The place gets really busy right at opening so I recommend ordering online. Plenty of seating in the food pod area. read more

These sandwiches are legit! Great portion sizes and a good amount of meat! The brad was soft and there was also a good amount of fresh toppings. Service was good, and the orders arrived correctly. The food truck pod offers some seating, was clean, and inviting. I tried a cold turkey sandwich and my friend tried one of the hot sandwiches off the menu. Both were incredible! Pro tip: Arrive early, there will be a line. read more

Three visits in four days.....enough said. Went Thursday for the Rachel. They were sold out (thankfully)! It made me opt for door 2. Which, ended up being the PCT and the Dom. PCT - easily my new fav sando. Light, feel good, turkey and cucumbers....how can you go wrong? Felt magnificent after vs carbed up. Hubby and I kept stealing bites until suddenly it disappeared. The Dom - if Italians are your groove, this is your jam. It's filling and satisfying but a LOT. But, I'm also not that into Italian sando's. Came back Friday for the Rachel and they were out so we were too. Sunday returned for our last chance and scored!!!!! Snagging the last two Rachels, we were stoked! They delivered. I don't know why I didn't realize it was toasted till I was ready to nom but I wasn't disappointed. The turkey...the slaw....the fresh tomatoes in the perfectly crisped bread... Nom, Nom, Nom Whenever I'm down for a sandwich, this is my new Portland favorite. read more

I only had 72 hours to eat my way through Portland, this trip. Walter French's was on the top of my list for lunch spots to try, and I am so glad I made the trip (even in the rain)! Located in a super cute food truck court with a nice seating area (gas fire table and canopy for the cold rainy days). The staff were super engaging and gave excellent suggestions! The sandwiches were both original and delicious! I had the Gobbler, a sandwich with a Thanksgiving nod, Turkey, bacon, Cheddar, cranberry sauce, on a sesame hoagie. Easily one of my new favorite sandwiches. All of the ingredients were so fresh and melded perfectly together. Will be trying to recreate this with leftover Thanksgiving turkey and cranberry sauce! Not one to miss anything, I also tried the Big Dom, salami, capicola, ham, provolone with cherry pepper relish, red wine vinaigrette. Messy and delicious! Again incredibly fresh ingredients, fantastic flavor. Everything was made fresh to order. I am adding this to my list of "must have" repeat spots for my next visit out! read more

THE sammie spot you didn't know you needed--until you take one bite of the dom and suddenly question every sandwich choice you've ever made. this thing is BOMB, an explosion of flavor that should honestly be illegal (but thankfully, isn't). let's break it down: the bread? that perfect crunch-to-chew ratio that dreams are made of. the pepperoncini bring just the right amount of heat, the deli meat is stacked with intent, and that spread--oh WHEEEE. whatever magic they mix up back there should come with a warning label. i was in full-body food dance mode from first bite to last, no shame, all vibes. matt and ali? top-tier humans. not just sammie geniuses but the kind of people who make you feel like you've been friends forever. and let's be real--everything here revolves around their pups, which is exactly how the world should work. laverne got the VIP treatment, doggie treat inhaled (in the best way possible) and belly rubs from ali that made her seriously consider a new life as the walter's french shop dog. she flat-out didn't want to leave. but don't just take my word for it--go see (and eat) for yourself. chances are, you'll find me and laverne posted up, doing the food dance and plotting our next sammie. read more

Walter French's - the DOM - Sandwiches Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Order: The Big Dom $15 Pros: This is my 3rd time trying to try them and finally was able to do so. The first time they ran out of what I wanted, the second time the wait was over an hour, and this time I was first in line ha ha!!! The sandwich was good! There was a slight sweetness that paired well with the vinaigrette and the saltiness of the sandwich. The bread was moist (eyes lol) and the sandwich was not dry. The bread was also soft. Gota give it to them the sandwich is good. Cons: took some time for them to open so was out waiting in the rain on my lunch break. It looked like they were setting up a few minutes before 12. I wanted the Big Dance, which is what I had a taste for but it is being discontinued due to avocado being too expensive. Even being first in line, the wait was 15-20 mins. While the sandwich is good, waiting and not getting what I wanted is a let down. read more

This is a sandwich place. I can't imagine what takes so long. No one in front of me when I ordered 2 normal sandwiches. Waited 12 minutes and checked on when they would be ready. Answer was 20 minutes more. What? Told them to cancel the order. Suddenly the sandwiches would be ready in 5 minutes. The sandwiches were good but not amazing. read more

Excellent MASSIVE sandwiches that are certainly worth the value. They are exceptionally kind and friendly as well. They were very patient with me as I was trying to decide my order. I ended up getting a custom sandwich for my wife, the today's special for myself which was a dance club and a white peach lemonade. Everything was tasty and the portions were large enough to cover two meals! Highly recommend this spot when you have a hankering for a solid sammy read more

SO YUM!!! Stopped by because I was wanting something fresh-like a good ol sandwich and found this spot just three minutes away from where I was. I am so glad I did. We ordered the daily special sandwich.. don't remember the exact name but it had turkey, bacon, chipotle sauce, avocado spread and fresh veggies on ciabatta bread. As well as a classic grilled cheese (cheese pull was stunning). Everything tasted fresh and warm. Also, sandwich was VERY filling!! Great service. Good people. Great lunch. read more

Decent simple but tasty sandwiches. Went w/ the Big Dom, an Italian style on a hoagie roll. At $15 seems like a standard price. My only complaint is that most of their other options just seem like slight variations of the same sandwich. They've got a few melts too but wish they had a bit more variety in flavors to entice me back to try another. read more

Good as it looks Clean truck, fast, filling. Price was fair for the food! About 20$ Also got a fresh squeezed white peach lemonade which was so tart & delicious Chipotle mayo sauce, pepper, cheddar, bacon, meats, veggies, ciabatta. I'll certainly be back! read more

I went on a Wednesday for lunch at 12:30 it was only myself and another person that put in a order for food. Took just under 30mins to get my food. I ordered #4 which was delish! I just wouldn't go here for you lunch break. I'd hate to see the wait if there was actually a line. read more

P.C.T me. Again and again. Don't know where to start or end but there is so much love in the middle of the ciabatta. Holy s**t this is delicious. Go BIRDS!!! read more

Hands down one of the elite sandwich shops in PDX. Same level as Pasture, but definitely rocking their own style. I and a friend have a bi-weekly lunch meetup where we seek out great sandwiches. Generally I order whatever is closest to an Italian grinder as my benchmark. But these folks had not one, but two epic Italian sandwiches The Dom - closer to your classic Italian but the cherry pepper relish, vinny levels, are all very on point. Elite execution. Mama Fratelli - at first I was skeptical of hot honey(sugar hacks), but it was just the right levels to make all the ingredients blend together in a unique way. The big slices of fresh mozzarella, and pesto aioli, along with all the high quality meats made for the perfect sandwich. This was probably favorite of the two. The sandwiches are also very ergonomic(this matters!). Easy to hold, everything stays in place as you eat, even though the filling portions are generous and saucy. All on Dos Hermanos bread that was soft, just thick enough to soak up all the juices without falling apart, and doesn't dominate the flavor of the sandwich. Amazing home made lemonades as well, served up by some friendly folks. They just changed locations but I predict long lines and wait times soon here. Get in! read more

I never post reviews. This was the best sandwich I've had in a long time. Do yourselves a favor and get one.

Best sandwich I've hade in a long time. Service was great. The food cart pod is pretty nice aswell.

I could leave 4 stars if I were a jerk who complains about a long wait - but I'm not, and I won't! They'd hit a fever pitch on social media and so I thought "Perfect time to try them!" They sold out in 30 minutes and we were the lucky last ones! Waited about an hour and 15 BUT sandwich was great! Soft bread, stuffed full. My only complaint is I like a bit more sauce - as that's a personal preference I give no dings here. 8/10 and the staff was awesome! read more

I think...that was the best sandwich I've ever had in my 42 years of life. Jfc. It was perfect. Just perfect.

Grabbed some sandwhiches on the way to a show and they were amazing! Will definitely be coming back.

The Broad Street is the best Italian Hoagie in the city. With the meats from Olympia Provisions and the bread from Dos Hermanos, it farking delicious. I have dreams about the cherry pepper relish. read more
