15 Best Sandwich Shops in Portland

“Amazing customer service, great food and if you have a picky eater like this cutie this place is awesome. We loved the Meltdown Preventer as you can see :) Love seeing a owner who is so passionate about their business it not only shows through your food but the atmosphere in which you run. These Vermonters will be back ♥️“

“Great atmosphere and great food.❤️“

“Love this place been going here a long time always great food and great personable interactions I highly recommend.“

“We ordered catering for 25 people from Salvatore’s and man, did they deliver!!! the food was fantastic. We got the sandwich platter, antipasto platter (beautiful and delicious!), veggie lasagna, and panzanella salad. everyone was happy. whenever i need catering they’re going to be my go-to from now on.“

“Hot damn that's a delicious Reuben. It's just too small for a 6 ft 220 lb guy. And since the prices are a bit higher and the sandwich size is (relatively) small, that makes this place a bit too expensive since you'll probably want two sandwiches, making it $20+ for an actual meal. I ended up stopping by Amato's afterwards to get more food so my sandwich from The Local Press seemed less like a snack. Side note: Amato's has really gone downhill. After going to places like Big G's that have sandwiches so big they'll have your back in a fist fight, this was definitely disappointing. Still, that was probably the tastiest Reuben I've ever had.“

“We were in Portland heading back to Bangor and decided to try them out. Boy, weren't we pleasantly surprised! Great staff and even better food! Definitely adding this place to our list of must stops.“

“The food was fantastic. The service was fantastic. Like other reviews said you'd pull up on the outside of the building and be a little sketchy but believe me it's delicious and the locals and the police come so you know it's good.“

“Best sandwich in town , always always fresh rolls not from the day before or two days before like the other stores , filled with great and fresh ingredients, try a gabbagol and provolone Italian , forgetaboutit five stars every time. I don’t usually write reviews but I took the time to for this family You need to get your a** over there now , no really !“

“The food is awesome and for those that are not willing to wait if they are making it fresh you are going to miss out The best Italians ever“

“Great place for a nice light breakfast“

“I actually ordered the 29inch grilled sandwich for myself for my 6 day work week: $42. Ready for my pickup in 10 minutes. And already sectioned out for me into 4-5 inch sections. Add my own fresh veggies/salad and I'm done- minimum fuss & muss for a busy work week to be. This would also be a great treat to share with some coworkers or as a 'Thank you for your hard work." I mixed it up: Korean (Steak) BBQ, No 9 Steak, Steak/Cheese. Didn't think of taking photos - next time.“

“Just had a Large BLT and it was great: everything was fresh tasting. Just had their Sesame noodle salad last evening and it was great as well - bought more for this evening, Butterscotch pudding just right - not overly sweet. Customer service very good. Thank you.

Parking: Lot is small, but adjust your arrival to slower times and you are fine. They share the lot with Republic Cash.

Wheelchair accessibility: Not an issue.“

“I'd like to give a huge shout out to the staff at Subway for so graciously handling a couple of last minute catering orders I had to place earlier this month. The other food options I had planned for a training of 20 people didn't work because of dietary restrictions, so I called Subway to get sandwiches. They put together three big platters for us on very short notice, and were very gracious about the whole thing. Great people and the sandwiches came out great.“

“Great fast and efficient service. Delicious product!“

“I had a great experience at this Subway location! The ambience is clean, modern, and welcoming. The seating area is spacious and well-lit, making it a comfortable spot to enjoy a quick meal. The food was fresh and delicious, as expected from Subway. I ordered a custom sandwich, and all the ingredients were fresh and well-prepared. The bread was perfectly baked, and the veggies were crisp and flavorful.

I also appreciated the high level of cleanliness—the counters, tables, and floors were spotless, and the staff seemed to prioritize keeping the space tidy. Speaking of the staff, they were friendly, patient, and efficient. They guided me through the menu, offered suggestions, and made sure my order was exactly how I wanted it. Overall, this Subway offers a fantastic dining experience, and I'll definitely be coming back!“
