This was our first stop when we arrived in Portland after a 4 hour flight. I like veggies more than faux meats, so I ordered the veggie sandwich on an everything bagel. It came with avocado, yum! My husband (from Philadelphia) ordered the Vegan Philly Cheese Steak. He said the faux steak was ok, but the faux cheese whiz was spot on! We both enjoyed our meals and took a stroll through the artsy neighborhood afterwards. Highly recommend it.
I’m not a fan of most imitation hotdogs (I think they’re rubbery and flavorless), and the hotdog here was no better or worse than I expected. But the toppings added all the flavor I wanted and made up for what the hotdog was lacking. My loaded potato salad was excellent, and I also appreciated the authentic deli atmosphere.
The family went to Ben & Esther's today for lunch. Had two real good sandwiches, the Classic Reuben and the Turkey-Bacon Club, daughter had the hot dog. We also had a knish, pickle and marble halvah.
The sandwiches we rated good, the hot dog not so much, the knish okay, and enjoyed the halvah.
Looking forward to coming back for breakfast and trying the bagel options.
