I am so bummed to hear that Better Half is relocating… The food was amazing, staff were kind, and vibe was ideal for lunch meet-ups.

I hope you all stay in the neighborhood! You have quite a following that will be eager to hear where you end up.

I moved to Portland from Vegas a few years ago and have been looking for a sandwich spot to replace my favorite from Vegas (which is unfortunately now closed or I would plug them for vacation tips).. I had been overall disappointed in the choices here in PDX... Until today. I was so excited to find them, and it was for a work lunch. I am the only vegan at work and to have as many choices as they have was SO, SO nice! I got the special Turkey & Cranberry and WOW! I was EXTREMELY...

Enjoyed our $10 sandwiches that came with a pickle and a bag of chips. Can't really find that deal around Portland. My partner got the Hot Italian and I got the hot veggie italian. Annnnnd a person on a bicycle delivered our food way sooner than expected. Awesome!
